[0029] Preferably, flanges 10 are provided at both ends of the filter tube 7, the input end of the check valve 9 located in the horizontal direction, the output end of the shut-off valve 5 located in the horizontal direction, the input end of the auxiliary delivery pipeline 3, and the output end of the safety valve 6, so as to facilitate the connection between the input end of the check valve 9 located in the horizontal direction, the output end of the shut-off valve 5 located in the horizontal direction, the input end of the auxiliary delivery pipeline 3, the output end of the safety valve 5 and the filter tube 7, and the replacement of the filter tube 7 will not affect the use of the user.

[0030] The fixing ring 8 includes two half-moon rings 801, and grooves 802 for fixing the flange 10 are provided on the side walls on the opposite sides of the two half-moon rings 801. One end of the two half-moon rings 801 is hinged by a hinge, and a lug 803 is provided at the other end. A through hole 804 for installing a bolt is provided on the lug 803, and the two lugs 803 can fix the flange 10 through the groove 802 after being combined, so as to facilitate the quick connection of the input end of the check valve 9 located in the horizontal direction, the output end of the shut-off valve 5 located in the horizontal direction, the input end of the auxiliary conveying pipeline 3, the output end of the safety valve 5 and the filter tube 7.

[0031] Soft cushions 805 are provided on the side walls on both sides of the groove 802 to improve air tightness and prevent natural gas leakage.

[0032] The filter tube 7 includes a tube body 701, a filter screen 702 and a filter element 703. The filter screen 702 is tubular and is horizontally arranged and installed in the tube body 701. The filter element 703 is fixed in the filter screen 702. The filter screen 702 is arranged in the tube body, and the filter element 703 is fixed in the filter screen 702. The filter screen 702 is tubular and has a larger filtering surface and a better filtering effect.

[0033] Pressure sensors 704 are installed on both sides of the filter 702 in the tube body 701, and a display panel 705 is installed on the outer wall of the tube body 701. The pressure sensors 704 are electrically connected to the display panels 705 respectively. The display panels 705 display the values ​​measured by the pressure sensors 704. The usage rate of the filter element 703 can be judged by comparison, so that the filter element 703 can be replaced or cleaned in time when the blockage area of ​​the filter element 703 is too large, thereby ensuring the filtering effect of natural gas.

[0034] Working principle: Before use, the filter tube 7 is installed between the first main delivery pipeline 1 and the second main delivery pipeline 2, and between the safety valve 6 and the auxiliary delivery pipeline 3, and a fixing ring 8 is used for connection. Not only is the connection reliable, but it is also very convenient to install and use, and has good sealing performance to prevent natural gas leakage.

[0035] A filter screen 702 is arranged in the pipe body, and a filter element 703 is fixed in the filter screen 702. The filter screen 702 is tubular with a larger filtering surface and a better filtering effect. The value measured by the pressure sensor 704 is displayed on the display panel 705. The utilization rate of the filter element 703 can be judged by comparison, so that the filter element 703 can be replaced or cleaned in time when the blocking area of ​​the filter element 703 is too large, thereby ensuring the filtering effect of the natural gas.

[0036] When the device is used, the shut-off valves 5 are all open. When the filter tube 7 between the first main delivery pipeline 1 and the second main delivery pipeline 2 filters out impurities in the natural gas, resulting in a large blockage area and a slightly insufficient gas supply, the pressure in the first main delivery pipeline 1 increases, triggering the piston baffle in the safety valve 6 to open, and the natural gas enters the filter tube 7 connected to the auxiliary delivery pipeline 3 through the output end of the safety valve 6 for filtration and finally flows into the second main delivery pipeline 2, ensuring normal gas supply while ensuring the filtering effect of the natural gas;

[0037] During continuous operation, when the blockage area of ​​the filter tube 7 between the first main delivery pipeline 1 and the second main delivery pipeline 2 is too large and the gas supply is not smooth, the pressure in the first main delivery pipeline 1 increases, triggering the continuous and increasing opening of the piston baffle in the safety valve 6, and the outlet vent increases. The natural gas enters the filter tube 7 connected to the auxiliary delivery pipeline 3 through the output end of the safety valve 6 for filtration and finally flows into the second main delivery pipeline 2.

[0038] The display panel 705 can display the values ​​measured by the pressure sensors 704 on both sides of the filter element 703 in the filter tube 7. By comparison, the utilization rate of the filter element 703 can be determined. When the display panel 705 shows that the pressure value at the air inlet end is too large, it means that the blocking area of ​​the filter element 703 is too large and the ventilation is not smooth. The filter element 703 needs to be replaced or cleaned in time to ensure the filtering effect of natural gas.

[0039] Moreover, the installation and removal of the filter tube 7 are very convenient, and when replacing the filter tube 7, the filter tube between the first main delivery pipeline 1 and the second main delivery pipeline 2 and the filter tube 7 connected to the auxiliary delivery pipeline 3 can be replaced in turn by using the cut-off valve 5, without stopping the gas supply, and without affecting the user's use, and the practicality is strong. The specific operation is as follows:

[0040] Normally, the filter tube 7 between the first main conveying pipeline 1 and the second main conveying pipeline 2 has been used for a longer time and needs to be replaced first. First, close the shut-off valve 5 in the horizontal direction, and then open the fixing ring 8 to take out the old filter tube 7 for cleaning or directly replace it with a new filter tube 7. After the filter tube 7 between the first main conveying pipeline 1 and the second main conveying pipeline 2 is replaced, the fixing ring 8 needs to be tightened for reinforcement. Next, open the shut-off valve 5 in the horizontal direction and then close the shut-off valve 5 in the vertical direction. Then, clean or replace the filter tube 7 connected to the auxiliary conveying pipeline 3 according to the above process. Finally, open the shut-off valve 5 in the vertical direction to complete the replacement of the filter tube 7. The disassembly and assembly efficiency is high, there is no need to stop the gas supply, and it does not affect the user's use, and it is highly practical.

[0041] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
