Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The primary purpose of natural gas odorization is to ensure user safety. Natural gas itself is a colorless, odorless, and flammable gas. Leaks in enclosed rooms are difficult to detect, increasing the risk of accidents. By adding substances with a distinctive odor ("odorant") to natural gas, leaks can be immediately detected, allowing timely measures to avert the danger. Existing natural gas odorization methods mostly involve directly adding an odorizing liquid to the natural gas being transported. This slows down the injection of the odorizing liquid and causes changes in the natural gas pressure, impacting normal natural gas delivery. Publication No. CN220228766U discloses a gas odorization device comprising an odorizing storage tank. A control box is mounted on one side of the tank. A PLC controller is located at the bottom of the control box. A connecting cable is attached to the lower end of the PLC controller. An online tetrahydrothiophene concentration monitor is located at the end of the connecting cable away from the PLC controller. A draw pipe is mounted on one inner wall of the tank. A liquid level gauge is located on the outer periphery of the draw pipe. A feed pipe is located on one side of the tank. The device is unable to increase the injection rate of the odorous liquid and regulate the pressure of the natural gas. Utility Model Content

[0006] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: odorization and pressure regulation are achieved. The device first sets up an odorous liquid storage tank, opens the first switch valve to transport the odorous liquid in the odorous liquid storage tank to the buffer tube for filling, and then sets up an air intake pipe, a gas transmission pipe, and a first pressure regulator. The air intake pipe transports medium-pressure natural gas, which is adjusted to low-pressure natural gas through the first pressure regulator and transported to the transmission pipe, so that a pressure difference is formed between the natural gas in the transmission pipe and the natural gas in the air intake pipe. Then, by opening the second switch valve and the third switch valve, a small part of the natural gas in the air intake pipe enters the buffer tube through the pressure difference and mixes with the odorous liquid, and finally is transported to the gas transmission pipe, so that the odorization of the gas is achieved. The overall structure is practical and reliable.

[0007] Furthermore, a first air guide pipe is provided on the air intake pipe, and the first air guide pipe is connected to the second switch valve.

[0008] Furthermore, a second air guide pipe is provided on the gas transmission pipeline, and the second air guide pipe is connected to a third switch valve.

[0009] Furthermore, the gas transmission pipeline is connected to a second pressure regulator, and the second pressure regulator is connected to a gas outlet pipeline. After adopting the above structure, the utility model realizes a second pressure regulation to adjust the natural gas mixed with the odorous liquid to a set pressure value.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer side wall of the odorous liquid storage tank is provided with a scale bar, which extends vertically. After the utility model adopts the above structure, the amount of odorous liquid stored in the odorous liquid storage tank can be accurately known.

[0011] Furthermore, a liquid inlet pipe is provided on the top of the odorous liquid storage tank, and a fourth switch valve is provided on the liquid inlet pipe. After the utility model adopts the above structure, the odorous liquid can be replenished by opening the fourth switch valve.

The air inlet is connected to a first pressure regulator, and the air outlet is connected to a gas pipeline. A position limiter is formed within the filter chamber, which is used to secure the filter cartridge, which covers the air outlet. The present invention utilizes this structure to filter impurities within natural gas. The position limiter secures the filter cartridge, preventing incomplete filtration of impurities due to swinging of the filter cartridge during natural gas filtration.

[0014] Furthermore, a top cover is detachably provided on the top of the filter, an opening is provided on the top of the filter chamber, and the top cover is used to cover the opening. After the utility model adopts the above structure, the top cover is provided to facilitate the removal, cleaning or replacement of the filter cartridge.

[0022] The buffer tube 62 is provided with a discharge pipe 71 , which is connected to the odorous liquid storage tank 7 , and the discharge pipe 71 is provided with a first switch valve 72 .

[0023] In this embodiment, the air intake pipe 2 is provided with a first air duct 21 connected to the second switch valve 61 , and the air intake pipe 2 is provided with a fifth switch valve 22 located downstream of the first air duct 21 .

A sixth switch valve 32 is provided on the air intake pipeline 3 , and the sixth switch valve 32 is located upstream of the second air duct 31 .

[0025] In this embodiment, the gas transmission pipeline 3 is connected to a second pressure regulator 42 , and the second pressure regulator 42 is connected to a gas outlet pipeline 8 .

[0026] In this embodiment, a scale bar 75 is provided on the outer side wall of the odorous liquid storage tank 7, and the scale bar 75 extends vertically.

[0027] In this embodiment, a liquid inlet pipe 73 is provided on the top of the odorous liquid storage tank 7 , and a fourth switch valve 74 is provided on the liquid inlet pipe 73 .

[0028] In this embodiment, the first pressure regulator 41 is connected to a filter, and the filter is connected to the gas pipeline 3; the filter includes a shell 51 and a filter core 52, and a filter chamber 53 is formed in the shell 51, and the side walls of the filter chamber 53 are respectively provided with an air inlet 531 and an air outlet 532, the air inlet 531 is connected to the first pressure regulator 41, and the air outlet 532 is connected to the gas pipeline 3, wherein a limiting portion 533 is formed in the filter chamber 53, and the limiting portion 533 is used to fix the filter core 52, and the filter core 52 is used to cover the air outlet 532; a top cover 54 is detachably provided on the top of the filter, and an opening is opened at the top of the filter chamber 53, and the top cover 54 is used to seal the opening.

[0029] In this embodiment, pressure gauges 43 are respectively provided between the first pressure regulator 41 and the filter, in the air outlet pipe 8 , and in the liquid inlet pipe 73 .

[0030] In this embodiment, the specific odorization process is as follows: first, the fourth switch valve 74 is opened to input the odorous liquid into the odorous liquid storage tank 7, and then the first switch valve 72 is opened to transfer the odorous liquid in the odorous liquid storage tank 7 to the buffer pipe 62. At this time, the second switch valve 61 and the third switch valve 63 are both in the closed state. After the odorous liquid fills the buffer pipe 62, the first switch valve 72 is closed.

[0031] Under normal conditions, the fifth switch valve 22 and the sixth switch valve 32 are both open, and medium-pressure natural gas is input from the air inlet pipe 2, and then transported to the first pressure regulator 41 for the first pressure regulation to regulate the medium-pressure natural gas to low-pressure natural gas.

[0032] Among them, when the odorous liquid fills the buffer tube 62, the first switch valve 72 is closed, and then the second switch valve 61 and the third switch valve 63 are opened. At this time, since the natural gas pressure in the intake pipe 2 is greater than the natural gas pressure in the transmission pipe 3, a pressure difference will be formed, so that a small amount of medium-pressure natural gas enters the buffer tube 62 through the first air duct 21 and mixes with the odorous liquid, thereby achieving odorization of the natural gas. The odorized medium-pressure natural gas is transported to the gas transmission pipe 3 through the second air duct 31 and mixed with the low-pressure natural gas, and then the natural gas pressure is increased to meet the requirements through the second pressure regulator 42.
