Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil-gas separators, in particular to a multi-stage filtering mechanism for oil-gas separators. Background Art
[0002] The exhaust gas from the compressor contains lubricating oil, which flows through the exhaust pipe into the oil-gas separator for separation. Iron filings are generated during operation. These enter the oil-gas separator and the oil return pipe along with the lubricating oil, flowing into the compressor working chamber. This increases the risk of compressor seizure and shortens the compressor's service life. Magnets are typically placed at the bottom of the oil-gas separator to absorb some of the iron filings in the lubricating oil. However, a small amount of iron filings still enter the working chamber, and this does not completely eliminate the risk of compressor seizures caused by iron filings.
[0003] For example, a Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN117547904A, dated February 13, 2024, discloses a filter device for an oil-gas separator and an oil-gas separator. The filter device includes a guide plate having an opening in the middle portion thereof, within which a solid-liquid separation plate is disposed. The solid-liquid separation plate is an annular structure, coaxially disposed with the guide plate based on an axis, and includes an opening portion having a bell-shaped shape and a straight pipe portion interconnected therewith. The lower end face of the opening portion is integrally connected to the upper end face of the straight pipe portion. A filter assembly is disposed in the straight pipe portion, and an oil leakage plate is disposed inside the straight pipe portion, the oil leakage plate being disposed below the filter assembly. This invention discloses a method for separating solids from liquids in a mixture during the circulation of lubricating oil. When solid impurities such as iron filings follow the lubricating oil into the oil-gas separator, the solid impurities are separated and stored through multi-layer filtration, thereby preventing the compressor from jamming.
[0004] It can be seen from the above patent that although the filtering device for the oil-gas separator can achieve separation and storage, since the solid-liquid separation plate is a horizontal ring structure, solid impurities such as iron filings are easily accumulated and blocked during separation and storage on the solid-liquid separation plate, affecting the separation process; therefore, it needs to be redesigned for improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a multi-stage filtering mechanism for an oil-gas separator.
