Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cyclone separation, in particular to a natural gas cyclone separation device. Background Art

[0002] Natural gas extracted from the wellhead is a mixture containing impurities such as water vapor, sulfides, and carbon dioxide. During pipeline transportation, the water vapor in the mixture cools and condenses, causing liquid water to be present in the natural gas. The presence of liquid water not only reduces the effective transportation capacity of the natural gas pipeline but, in severe cases, can also form hydrates, causing pipeline blockages and potentially major accidents. Therefore, wet natural gas must be dehydrated.

[0003] When using the existing natural gas cyclone separation device, the natural gas often enters the device at an inappropriate angle, resulting in a slow intensity and speed of natural gas entering the device, which in turn leads to poor separation effect; therefore, it does not meet the existing needs. In this regard, we propose a natural gas cyclone separation device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a natural gas cyclone separation device to solve the problems of the natural gas cyclone separation device proposed in the above background art, which is often encountered when using the natural gas cyclone separation device, due to the unsuitable angle of natural gas entering the interior of the device, resulting in slow strength and speed of natural gas entering the device, thereby resulting in poor separation effect.

A fixed plate is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the diffuser tube, and a limit pin is movably installed on the top of the fixed plate. A spring groove is provided on the top surface of the fixed plate, and the limit pin is slidably inserted into the interior of the spring groove.

A compression spring is movably installed between the limit block and the interior of the spring groove, and the limit pin is movably inserted into the interior of the compression spring.

[0008] Preferably, a bracket is fixedly installed inside the diffuser tube, the movable rod movably passes through the center position of the bracket, and a plurality of air outlets are provided on the surface of the bracket.

[0009] Preferably, a liquid outlet is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the separation tube, and one end of the diffuser tube is movably inserted into the interior of the separation tube.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] 1. The utility model provides an inlet pipe so that when the device is in use, the surface of the inner wall of the inlet pipe presents a Witosinski curve, so that the natural gas can enter the cyclone separator more evenly and smoothly, reducing the flow field disturbance at the inlet, thereby improving the separation efficiency;

[0013] 2. The present invention utilizes the cooperation of the L-shaped rod and the movable rod. When the device is in use, the L-shaped rod can be pulled to drive the movable rod and the swirl ball to move inside the direct current tube, thereby driving the arc-shaped protrusion to move inside the swirl tube, thereby increasing or decreasing the distance between the arc-shaped protrusion and the inner wall of the swirl tube, thereby adjusting the angle between the direct current tube and the interior of the separation tube.

At this time, the L-shaped rod is moved to align the remaining limiting holes with the positions of the spring grooves. Then the limiting pin is released, and the spring groove is ejected by the elastic potential energy of the compressed spring and inserted into the inside of the limiting hole, thereby fixing the movable rod to prevent the airflow from entering and pushing the swirl ball to move. At the same time, the distance between the arc-shaped protrusion and the inner wall of the swirl tube can be fixed to prevent the arc-shaped protrusion from completely blocking the swirl tube, so that the airflow can pass through the inside of the device stably.

[0023] The outer surface of the swirl ball 8 is fixedly mounted with a spiral blade 9 , and the movable rod 11 is slidably inserted into the interior of the diffuser tube 5 , and the rear side of the movable rod 11 is connected to an L-shaped rod 12 via bolts.

A fixed plate 6 is fixedly installed on the rear side surface of the diffuser tube 5, and a limit pin 17 is movably installed on the top of the fixed plate 6.
