Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of silencing equipment, in particular to a silencer for an air separation device. Background Art
[0002] An air separation device is a large industrial device that uses air as a raw material and separates oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and other rare gases through a complex physical process. It is separated by the cryogenic method based on the different liquefaction temperatures and boiling points of air components at low temperatures.
[0003] When the air separation device is working, after a series of processes such as compression, cooling, expansion, and separation, the gas is discharged at high speed from the air outlet. Moreover, when the gas flows through pipelines, valves, or encounters any obstacles, turbulence will be generated, forming high-speed airflow noise. Therefore, the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN215183057U: a silencer for an air separation device. In this application, a spiral structure is arranged in the reducing pipe to disperse the discharged gas in a spiral manner, and then the gas is dispersed again through a gas dispersion plate, greatly reducing the flow rate of the discharged gas and avoiding the impact of the concentrated airflow on the internal air guide pipe and orifice plate. However, since the gas is dispersed by two parts, namely the spiral structure and the gas dispersion plate, in this application, when the gas pressure is too high, the flow rate of the gas impacting the gas dispersion plate will be too high, so that after the gas enters the air guide pipe, it is discharged through the round holes on the inner wall of the air guide pipe, which will reduce the exhaust flow rate and affect the normal air separation amount of the air separation device. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a silencer for an air separation device, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0006] A silencer for an air separation device includes a silencing cylinder. One end of the silencing cylinder is fixedly installed with a first connecting cylinder, and the other end of the silencing cylinder is fixedly installed with a second connecting cylinder. One end of the first connecting cylinder is fixedly installed with an air inlet pipe, and one end of the second connecting cylinder is fixedly installed with an air outlet plate.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a sound insulation cotton is laid inside the silencing cylinder, and sound insulation cotton is also laid inside the first connecting cylinder and the second connecting cylinder respectively. Through the setting of the sound insulation cotton, the sound insulation and sound absorption effects of the silencing cylinder and the first connecting cylinder can be improved.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, an embedding groove is provided at one end of the air inlet pipe.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a sealing ring is fixedly installed at one end of the installation pipe, and a plurality of wave flow retarder plates are fixedly installed inside the installation pipe. The installation pipe is inserted into the air inlet pipe, and the sealing ring is inserted into the embedding groove. Through the setting of the installation pipe and the wave flow retarder plates, the direction and speed of the air flow can be changed, which helps to reduce the wind noise.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the mounting bracket includes a first mounting ring and a second mounting ring. A plurality of connecting rods are fixedly connected between the first mounting ring and the second mounting ring. A limiting groove is provided on one side of the second mounting ring, and the first mounting ring is fixedly installed between two flanges on the opposite sides of the silencing cylinder and the second connecting cylinder.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a plurality of air guide pipes are fixedly installed on one side of the interference plate.

[0014] Meanwhile, a plurality of interference plates are arranged in the muffler cylinder, and the air ducts in the plurality of interference plates are arranged in a staggered manner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0021] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] As Figures 1-5 shown, a muffler for an air separation device provided by the present invention includes a muffler cylinder 1.

An intake pipe 4 is fixedly installed at one end of the first connecting cylinder 2, an air outlet plate 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the second connecting cylinder 3. An installation pipe 6 is movably installed in the intake pipe 4. A plurality of interference plates 7 are arranged in the muffler cylinder 1, and a connecting column 8 is movably connected between the plurality of interference plates 7. One end of the connecting column 8 is movably installed with a mounting bracket 9, and the mounting bracket 9 is fixedly installed between the muffler cylinder 1 and the second connecting cylinder 3, that is, the interference plate 7 is movably installed in the muffler cylinder 1 through the connecting column 8 and the mounting bracket 9.
[0023] As Figures 2-3 shown, a sound insulation cotton 10 is laid inside the muffler cylinder 1, and the sound insulation cotton 10 is also laid inside the first connecting cylinder 2 and the second connecting cylinder 3 respectively. Through the arrangement of the sound insulation cotton 10, the sound insulation and sound absorption effects of the muffler cylinder 1 and the first connecting cylinder 2 can be improved. An embedding groove 11 is opened at one end of the air inlet pipe 4, a sealing ring 12 is fixedly installed at one end of the installation pipe 6, and a plurality of wavy flow retarder plates 13 are fixedly installed inside the installation pipe 6. The installation pipe 6 is inserted into the air inlet pipe 4, and the sealing ring 12 is inserted into the embedding groove 11. Through the arrangement of the installation pipe 6 and the wavy flow retarder plates 13, the direction and speed of the air flow can be changed, which helps to reduce the wind noise;
[0024] As Figure 2 、 Figures 4-5 shown, the mounting bracket 9 includes a first mounting ring 14 and a second mounting ring 15. A plurality of connecting rods 16 are fixedly connected between the first mounting ring 14 and the second mounting ring 15. A limiting groove 17 is opened on one side of the second mounting ring 15, and the first mounting ring 14 is fixedly installed between two flanges on the opposite sides of the muffler cylinder 1 and the second connecting cylinder 3. A plurality of air guide pipes 18 are fixedly installed on one side of the interference plate 7. A plurality of clamping grooves 19 are opened on the outer side of the connecting column 8. A stud 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting column 8.

And because the air guide pipes 18 on one side of the two interference plates 7 are arranged staggeredly, the air flow is buffered and dispersed for the second time. Then, by the same token as above, after the air flow is further buffered and dispersed by the third layer of interference plate 7, combined with the sound insulation cotton 10 inside the muffler cylinder 1, the first connecting cylinder 2, and the second connecting cylinder 3, the noise of the gas discharge can be effectively reduced.
