Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an air oil-filtering drying cylinder. Background Art

[0002] The Chinese utility model patent with the publication number of CN220758634U discloses an environment-friendly air drying cylinder. Compressed air (containing oil mist and water vapor) from an air compressor enters the interior of a housing through an air inlet, and then passes through a filter element to repel water and absorb oil. Among them, after the compressed air enters from the air inlet, it will disperse from the side of the filter element, with a short contact time with the filter element, and the absorption of oil mist is not sufficient. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the utility model aims to provide an air oil-filtering drying cylinder, and is designed to guide the compressed air to vertically pass through the filter element through an outer wall, with a long contact time and sufficient absorption of oil mist.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: The air oil-filtering drying cylinder includes a housing, a connecting disc, an inner liner housing, a filter element and a water absorption component. A gas passage chamber is provided inside the housing, and an opening is provided at the bottom of the housing. The connecting disc is arranged at the opening, and the connecting disc is provided with an air outlet and an air inlet. The inner liner housing is arranged inside the housing and is connected to the connecting disc. The inner liner housing divides the gas passage chamber into a communicated oil-filtering chamber and a water absorption chamber. The oil-filtering chamber is communicated with the air inlet, and the water absorption chamber is communicated with the air outlet. The filter element is arranged in the oil-filtering chamber, and the water absorption component is arranged in the water absorption chamber. Among them, a diversion shell is provided in the oil-filtering chamber, and the diversion shell is connected to the connecting disc. The diversion shell includes an outer wall arranged vertically, and the filter element is located between the outer wall and the inner liner housing. The inner liner housing includes a baffle wall arranged horizontally, and the air passage opening of the diversion shell is arranged opposite to the baffle wall.

[0005] In this scheme, the filter element is arranged between the outer wall and the inner liner housing. The compressed air cannot leave from the side of the filter element, but will move along the outer wall and leave from the air passage opening of the diversion shell. The contact time between the compressed air and the filter element is long, and the oil mist is fully absorbed. Moreover, the compressed air will contact the baffle wall for heat exchange, and part of the water vapor will condense into water droplets.

[0006] Preferably, the diversion shell further includes a top wall, the top wall is arranged opposite to the baffle wall, the top wall is provided with an air passage opening and a mounting opening, the air passage opening surrounds the mounting opening, the mounting opening allows the inner liner housing to pass through, and the air inlet surrounds the air outlet.

[0007] In this solution, the compressed air can only leave through the air passage opening on the top wall. Since the air passage opening is relatively narrow, the flow rate of the air flow will increase, and the air flow hits the baffle wall of the inner tank shell to fully conduct heat exchange.

[0008] Preferably, a baffle is further provided at the air passage opening. The inner tank shell includes a lower side wall, and the baffle is disposed opposite to the lower side wall.

[0009] In this solution, the baffle can restrain part of the air flow from hitting the baffle wall.

[0011] In this solution, the water droplets falling along the bead dropping channel are deposited at the inlet of the drainage channel. When deflating, a pressure difference is generated inside and outside the one-way valve, the one-way valve opens, and the condensed water is discharged from the air inlet through the drainage channel.

[0012] Preferably, the filter element is made of aluminum foil or glass fiber.

[0013] In this solution, the filter element is made of aluminum foil or glass fiber, and the oil beads can leave the filter element with the air flow during exhaust and be discharged from the air inlet.

[0014] Preferably, the water absorption component includes a primary water absorption layer, a secondary water absorption layer, a tertiary water absorption layer and a quaternary water absorption layer. The water absorption component is arranged axially in sequence along the center line of the connecting disk, and the primary water absorption layer is used for absorbing water vapor.

[0015] In this solution, the primary water absorption layer absorbs the water vapor that has not formed water droplets, the secondary water absorption layer absorbs water preliminarily, the tertiary water absorption layer and the quaternary water absorption layer absorb water deeply, and the multi-stage water absorption is fully dried.

[0016] Preferably, an inner tank cover is provided at the air inlet end of the inner tank shell. A compression spring is provided between the inner tank cover and the outer shell. An installation groove for accommodating the compression spring is provided in the middle of the inner tank cover. The primary water absorption layer is arranged around the installation groove, and an air inlet is provided on the inner tank cover.

[0017] In this solution, the inner tank cover does not need to be fixed with glue, which is suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure working environments.

[0018] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided between the inner tank shell and the connecting disk.

[0019] In this solution, the sealing ring ensures the sealing performance at the connection between the inner tank shell and the connection plate.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The filter element is arranged between the outer wall and the inner tank shell. Compressed air cannot leave from the side of the filter element and will move along the outer wall and leave from the air passing port of the diversion shell. The contact time between the compressed air and the filter element is long, and the oil mist is fully absorbed. Moreover, the compressed air will contact the baffle wall for heat exchange, and part of the water vapor will condense into water droplets. Therefore, the present utility model has substantial features and progress compared with the prior art. Description of the Drawings

The connection disk 2 is provided with an air outlet 3 and an air inlet 4. The inner liner housing 5 is disposed inside the housing 1 and connected to the connection disk 2. The inner liner housing 5 divides the gas passage chamber 29 into a communicated oil filtering chamber 27 and a water absorption chamber 28. The oil filtering chamber 27 is communicated with the air inlet 4. The water absorption chamber 28 is communicated with the air outlet 3. The filter element 6 is disposed inside the oil filtering chamber 27. The water absorption component is disposed inside the water absorption chamber 28.
