[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technical personnel in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the fact that a better connection structure can be formed by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the creation of the present invention can be combined interactively without conflicting with each other.

[0027] The present invention provides a water vapor filtration device for use in gas collection equipment. The device comprises: a cavity 1, with an air inlet 101, an air outlet 102, and a water outlet 103 provided on its surface. The air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102 communicate with each other on the cavity 1 to form an airway. A filtering structure 3 is provided within the cavity 1. A drain pipe 2 is installed within the cavity 1 and connected at one end to the water outlet 103 on the cavity 1. The water outlet 103 is connected in sequence to a one-way valve 201 and a water pump 202 via a conduit. The cavity 1 is used to allow gas to pass through and collect filtered water. The filtering structure 3 is used to filter water from the gas. The drain pipe 2 is used to drain the water from the cavity 1.

[0028] During implementation, an air inlet 101, an air outlet 102, and a water outlet 103 are respectively opened on the surface of the cavity 1. The air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102 are interconnected in the cavity 1 to form an airway. A filtering structure 3 is set in the cavity 1, and a drain pipe 2 is set in the cavity 1, and one end of the drain pipe 2 is connected to the water outlet 103. The water outlet 103 is connected to the one-way valve 201 and the water pump 202 in sequence through the water guide pipe 110. The gas enters the cavity 1 from the air inlet 101, and the gas passes through the filtering structure 3 in the cavity 1. The filtering structure 3 filters the moisture in the gas to form accumulated water. The accumulated water drips from the filtering structure 3 into the cavity 1, and the accumulated water remains in the cavity 1, and the filtered gas passes through the cavity 1 to the air outlet 102 and exits The air is discharged through the air outlet 102, thereby completing the filtration of moisture in the gas, and the water pump 202 pumps out the accumulated water retained in the cavity 1, and the accumulated water is pumped out from the drain pipe 2 to the drain outlet and then to the water pipe 110, completing the discharge of the accumulated water from the cavity 1. By setting a drain pipe 2 in the cavity 1, the water pump 202 pumps out the accumulated water in the cavity 1 from the drain pipe 2, so as to timely pump out the accumulated water in the cavity 1 and avoid the accumulated water staying in the cavity 1 and causing air path blockage. Since the water pump 202 directly pumps out the accumulated water in the cavity 1, there is no need to manually pour out the accumulated water, which also saves manpower. The one-way valve 201 connected to the water pipe 110 can prevent the accumulated water from flowing back and prevent the sampled gas in the cavity 1 from flowing out of the drain pipe 2.

[0029] Specifically, the filtering structure 3 includes filter cotton 301. The gas passes through the filter cotton 301, and the filter cotton 301 filters and absorbs the moisture in the gas, forming accumulated water and dripping into the cavity 1. The drain pipe 2 is a tubular structure extending inward from the water outlet 103 of the cavity 1. The drain pipe 2 and the cavity 1 are integrally formed. The drain pipe 2 is an L-shaped pipe.

The gas enters the filter chamber of the groove body 106 from the air inlet 101, and then enters the air chamber of the upper cover 104 after being filtered by the filter structure 3. Finally, the gas reaches the air outlet 102. The filter structure 3 forms accumulated water after filtering the moisture, and the accumulated water drops into the accumulated water chamber of the lower cover 105. The drain pipe 2 is arranged in the lower cover 105, and the accumulated water in the accumulated water chamber is drained from the drain pipe 2 to the water outlet 103. The groove body 106 is provided with a clamping groove, and the upper cover 104 is provided with a buckle.
