Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of horizontal filter separators, specifically a horizontal filter separator for gas stations. Background Technology
[0002] A gas station is a facility specifically designed for receiving, storing, processing, and distributing natural gas or other combustible gases (such as liquefied petroleum gas, LPG).
[0003] Natural gas needs to be transported in gas stations, but there are certain solid particles and droplets in the natural gas flow. The presence of impurities may affect the normal operation of downstream equipment, and may even cause the quality of natural gas to be compromised. To address this, we propose a horizontal filter separator for gas stations. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a horizontal filter separator for gas stations to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a horizontal filter separator for a gas station, comprising a separator tank, two sets of support frames fixedly installed at the bottom of the separator tank, an air inlet pipe extending through the top of the separator tank, an air outlet pipe extending through the top of the separator tank and on one side of the air inlet pipe, a separation mechanism for separating gas from gas being provided inside the air inlet pipe, and a water outlet mechanism for separating and collecting liquid and solid components from gas being fixedly installed at the bottom of the separator tank, the water outlet mechanism having a cleaning mechanism inside to prevent solids from adhering to the inside of the water outlet mechanism.
[0006] Furthermore, the separator includes a separator body, baffles, and a filter screen. Multiple sets of baffles are fixedly installed on the top and bottom of the inner wall of the separator body, and a filter screen is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the separator body, corresponding to the position of the air outlet pipe.
[0007] Furthermore, the separation mechanism includes a sealing plate, a separation plate, and a separation groove. The sealing plate is fixedly installed inside the air intake pipe, the separation plate is fixedly installed on the sealing plate, and the separation groove is formed on the separation plate above the sealing plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the water outlet mechanism includes a separation tank, a sealing cap, and an infusion pipe. The separation tank is installed through the bottom of the separation tank body and at the position corresponding to the bottom of the separation plate. The bottom of the separation tank is threadedly connected to the sealing cap, and the infusion pipe is installed through the middle of one side of the separation tank.
[0009] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism includes a drive motor, a fixed shaft, and scrapers. The drive motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing cover, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: By setting up a separation tank, the present invention allows the liquid contained in the natural gas to fall off due to collision during transportation. When the natural gas is transported through the gas inlet pipe, the liquid in the natural gas can be separated from the solids and gases through the separation mechanism, which facilitates the output of the gas. The separated liquid and solids are then transported to the water outlet mechanism, which facilitates the separate collection of impurities and liquids.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a horizontal filter separator for a gas station, including a separation tank 1. Two sets of support frames 2 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the separation tank 1. An air inlet pipe 3 is provided through the top of the separation tank 1. An air outlet pipe 4 is provided through the top of the separation tank 1 and on one side of the air inlet pipe 3. A separation mechanism 5 for separating gas from gas is provided inside the air inlet pipe 3. A water outlet mechanism 6 for separating and collecting liquid and solid from gas is fixedly installed at the bottom of the separation tank 1. A cleaning mechanism 7 is provided inside the water outlet mechanism 6 to prevent solids from adhering to the inside of the water outlet mechanism 6.
[0020] The separation tank 1 allows the liquid contained in the natural gas to fall off during transport and collision. When the natural gas is transported through the inlet pipe 3, the liquid, solid, and gas in the natural gas can be separated by the separation mechanism 5, which facilitates the output of the gas. The separated liquid and solid are then transported to the water outlet mechanism 6, which facilitates the separate collection of impurities and liquid. If impurities are collected incorrectly, the inner wall of the water outlet mechanism 6 can be cleaned by the cleaning mechanism to prevent excessive accumulation of impurities from affecting the normal use of the water outlet mechanism 6. The separated gas can then be filtered and discharged through the gas outlet pipe 4.
[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The separation mechanism 5 includes a sealing plate 11, a separation plate 12, and a separation groove 13. The sealing plate 11 is fixedly installed inside the air intake pipe 3. The separation plate 12 is fixedly installed on the sealing plate 11. The separation groove 13 is provided on the separation plate 12 and above the sealing plate 11.
[0022] Natural gas that needs to be filtered and separated enters through the inlet pipe 3, passes through the separation tank 13 and enters the interior of the separation plate 12. The gas in the natural gas can be discharged through the top of the separation tank 13 by suction, while the liquid and solid impurities in the natural gas fall through the bottom of the separation tank 13. The solids and liquids can be transported to the water outlet mechanism 6 for collection and storage.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The separation tank 1 includes a separation tank body 8, baffles 9 and filter screen 10. Multiple sets of baffles 9 are fixedly installed on the top and bottom of the inner wall of the separation tank body 8. Multiple sets of water passage holes are opened on the baffles 9 located at the bottom of the separation tank body 8. A filter screen 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the separation tank body 8 and at the position corresponding to the air outlet pipe 4.
[0024] After separation, the gas passes through multiple sets of staggered baffles 9. When the gas collides with the baffles 9, the water contained in the gas is knocked off, so that the liquid can be recycled back into the water outlet mechanism 6. Then the gas can be filtered through the filter screen 10 and discharged through the gas outlet pipe 4.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The water outlet mechanism 6 includes a separation tank 14, a sealing cap 15, and an infusion pipe 16. The separation tank 14 is provided through the bottom of the separation tank body 8 and at the position corresponding to the bottom of the separation plate 12. The bottom of the separation tank 14 is threadedly connected to the sealing cap 15, and the infusion pipe 16 is provided through the middle of one side of the separation tank 14.
[0026] The liquid and solid impurities contained in the natural gas are recovered into the interior of the separator 14. The solid impurities fall to the bottom of the separator 14 due to their own gravity, while the liquid can be discharged and collected through the infusion pipe 16 that runs through the middle of the separator 14. When too many solid impurities accumulate, the sealing cover 15 can be opened to collect and clean the impurities.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The cleaning mechanism 7 includes a drive motor 17, a fixed shaft 18, and scrapers 19. The drive motor 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing cover 15. The output end of the drive motor 17 is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 18. Two sets of scrapers 19 that fit against the inner wall of the separation bucket 14 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 18.
[0028] When impurities accumulate excessively, the drive motor 17 operates, driving the fixed shaft 18 and scraper 19 to rotate. The scraper 19 is in contact with the inner wall of the separation tank 14, thus preventing impurities from accumulating on the inner wall of the separation tank 14 and affecting the liquid output.
[0029] The separator body 8, baffle 9, sealing plate 11, separation plate 12 and separation barrel 14 are all made of stainless steel. The stainless steel construction of the separator body 8, baffle 9, sealing plate 11, separation plate 12 and separation barrel 14 can prevent contamination of natural gas.
[0030] In operation, firstly, by setting up the separator tank 1, the liquid contained in the natural gas is caused to fall off due to collision during transport. When the natural gas is transported through the inlet pipe 3, the liquid is separated from the solids and gases by the separator 5, facilitating gas output. The separated liquid and solids are then transported to the water outlet mechanism 6 for easy collection of impurities and liquids. If impurities are collected incorrectly, the inner wall of the water outlet mechanism 6 can be cleaned by a cleaning mechanism to prevent excessive accumulation of impurities that could affect its normal operation. The separated gas is then filtered and discharged through the gas outlet pipe 4. The natural gas requiring filtration enters through the inlet pipe 3, passes through the separator tank 13, and enters the separator plate 12. The gas in the natural gas can be discharged through the top of the separator tank 13 by suction, while the liquid and solid impurities in the natural gas fall through the bottom of the separator tank 13. The gas and liquid can be transported to the water outlet mechanism 6 for collection and storage. After separation, the gas will pass through multiple sets of staggered baffles 9. When the gas collides with the baffles 9, the water stains contained in the gas will fall off due to the collision, so that the liquid can be recycled back into the water outlet mechanism 6. Then the gas can be filtered through the filter screen 10 and discharged through the gas outlet pipe 4. The liquid and solid impurities contained in the natural gas are recycled into the separation tank 14. The solid impurities fall to the bottom of the separation tank 14 due to their own gravity, while the liquid can be discharged and collected through the liquid delivery pipe 16 that runs through the middle of the separation tank 14. When too many solid impurities accumulate, the sealing cover 15 can be opened to collect and clean the impurities. When too many impurities accumulate, the drive motor 17 operates, and the drive motor 17 drives the fixed shaft 18 and scraper 19 to rotate. The scraper 19 is in contact with the inner wall of the separation tank 14, which can prevent impurities from accumulating on the inner wall of the separation tank 14 and affecting the liquid output.
[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
