Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of controllable oil-water separation technology, and in particular to a heat-driven controllable oil-water separation device. Background Technology
[0002] A thermally driven controllable oil-water separator is a device that uses temperature changes to achieve oil-water separation. This device typically includes a heating element to raise the temperature of the mixed oil and water, and a separation unit to separate the oil and water after heating. When the mixture is heated, the density difference between oil and water increases, and the viscosity of the oil decreases, which facilitates the separation of the two phases. The device may also include a temperature control system to precisely control the heating process and ensure efficient separation. Furthermore, some devices may integrate filters or other mechanical separation technologies to further improve separation efficiency. Thermally driven controllable oil-water separators are widely used in the petroleum industry, chemical production, wastewater treatment, and other fields.
[0003] In the practical application of current thermally driven controllable oil-water separators, we may encounter some problems, especially regarding the discharge pipe. The discharge pipe may become clogged or leak, which will seriously affect the normal operation of the unit. Clogs are usually caused by impurities in the oil-water mixture or solidified oil. These impurities or solidified oil will obstruct the discharge process, thereby reducing separation efficiency and causing the unit to malfunction. Leaks, on the other hand, may be caused by aging pipes, loose connections, or material fatigue. These problems not only affect the normal operation of the unit but may also cause environmental pollution, leading to serious consequences.
[0004] In addition, there is a design issue that needs attention. The current discharge pipe is not replaceable, meaning that maintenance and replacement will be extremely inconvenient should a problem occur. This not only increases maintenance costs but also prolongs repair time, impacting the efficiency of the unit. Therefore, when designing and manufacturing a heat-driven controllable oil-water separator, we need to consider these issues and take appropriate measures to address them to ensure the unit operates normally and efficiently. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a heat-driven controllable oil-water separation device, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A heat-driven controllable oil-water separator includes a mounting frame, a centrifugal oil-water separator pump, a pot body, a pot cover, a connecting pipe, a separator, and a discharge pipe. The centrifugal oil-water separator pump is installed in the mounting frame. The pot body is connected to and communicates with the upper end of the centrifugal oil-water separator pump. The pot cover is placed on the pot body. The separator is located on and communicates with the centrifugal oil-water separator pump. The pot body is connected to the separator through the connecting pipe. The components cooperate with each other to achieve oil-water separation. The side wall of the separator is provided with a first discharge pipe and a second discharge pipe, through which oil and water are discharged.
[0008] The second discharge pipe is connected to a Y-shaped pipe, and the two ends of the Y-shaped pipe are respectively connected to a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve. The material discharge is controlled by the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve.
[0009] The first solenoid valve is connected to a first flow detector, and the second solenoid valve is connected to a second flow detector. The flow rate of the discharged material is detected through the first and second flow detectors.
[0010] In a further preferred embodiment of this application, a manual valve is installed at the upper end of the pot lid, a fixing frame is provided at the pipe of the separator, and the fixing frame is connected to the pot lid through a rotating frame. The pot lid rotates through the rotating frame to prevent the pot lid from falling off.
[0011] In a further preferred embodiment of this application, the first discharge pipe and the second discharge pipe are connected to the separator via threads, and a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the first discharge pipe, the second discharge pipe and the separator;
[0012] In a further preferred embodiment of this application, the cross-section of the Y-shaped pipe is designed in the shape of a "Y". The Y-shaped pipe is connected to the second discharge pipe through threads and sealing rings. The first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve are connected to the Y-shaped pipe through connecting flanges, and sealing rings are provided at the connection between the first solenoid valve, the second solenoid valve and the Y-shaped pipe.
[0013] In a further preferred embodiment of this application, the first flow detector is connected to the first solenoid valve via a connecting flange and a sealing ring, and the second flow detector is connected to the second solenoid valve via a connecting flange and a sealing ring.
[0014] In a further preferred embodiment of this application, the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve are opened and closed alternately to achieve flow control of the oil-water separation discharge.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] By utilizing centrifugal force, oil-water mixtures can be separated quickly and effectively, significantly improving separation efficiency. Furthermore, the manual valve and rotating frame design not only ensure the safety and stability of the lid, preventing accidental drops, but also further guarantee safety during operation.
[0017] The alternating opening and closing function of the solenoid valve enables precise control of oil and water discharge, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the separation process. The flow detector monitors the oil and water discharge in real time, providing operators with reliable data support for timely adjustments to the separation process and ensuring its efficient operation.
[0018] By adjusting the opening and closing time of the solenoid valve, the separation efficiency and discharge rate can be flexibly controlled according to the characteristics of different oil-water mixtures, thereby meeting various separation requirements. The use of threaded connections and sealing rings ensures the tightness of the connections between components, effectively preventing oil-water leakage and thus protecting the environment and equipment from pollution.
[0019] In addition, the equipment is designed to be easy to disassemble and clean, which not only ensures long-term stable operation of the equipment, but also greatly reduces maintenance costs and improves the economic efficiency of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, the heat-driven controllable oil-water separator mainly consists of a mounting frame 1, a centrifugal oil-water separator pump 2, a pot body 3, a pot lid 4, a connecting pipe 8, a separator 9, and a discharge pipe. The centrifugal oil-water separator pump 2 is carefully installed inside the mounting frame 1 to ensure stable operation. The pot body 3 is cleverly connected to the upper end of the centrifugal oil-water separator pump 2, forming a connected system to facilitate the smooth flow of the oil-water mixture. The pot lid 4 covers the pot body 3, providing sealing and protection. The separator 9 is located above the centrifugal oil-water separator pump 2 and remains in communication with it to ensure the smooth progress of the separation process. The pot body 3 is connected to the separator 9 via the connecting pipe 8; all components cooperate to complete the oil-water separation operation.
[0027] On the side wall of separator 9, a first discharge pipe 10 and a second discharge pipe 11 are specially designed. These two discharge pipes are used to discharge oil and water respectively, thereby achieving effective oil-water separation. To further control the material discharge, a Y-shaped pipe 12 is connected to the end of the second discharge pipe 11. The two ends of the Y-shaped pipe 12 are respectively connected to a first solenoid valve 13 and a second solenoid valve 15. These two solenoid valves can precisely control the material discharge, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of the separation process.
[0028] To monitor the flow rate of the discharged materials in real time, a first flow detector 14 is connected to the port of the first solenoid valve 13, while a second flow detector 16 is connected to the port of the second solenoid valve 15. These two flow detectors can monitor the discharge of oil and water in real time, providing data support for the entire separation process.
[0029] To ensure the safety and stability of the pot lid 4, a manual valve 5 is installed at its upper end. A fixing bracket 6 is installed at the pipe of the separator 9, which is connected to the pot lid 4 via a rotating bracket 7. The design of the rotating bracket 7 allows the pot lid 4 to rotate easily while preventing it from falling accidentally, ensuring operational safety. The first discharge pipe 10 and the second discharge pipe 11 are connected to the separator 9 by threads, and a sealing ring is installed at the connection to ensure a tight connection and prevent leakage.
[0030] The Y-shaped pipe 12 has a Y-shaped cross-section, which facilitates smooth material flow and separation. The Y-shaped pipe 12 is connected to the second discharge pipe 11 via threads and a sealing ring, ensuring reliable and tight connection. The first solenoid valve 13 and the second solenoid valve 15 are connected to the Y-shaped pipe 12 via connecting flanges, and sealing rings are installed at the connection points to prevent leakage and ensure precise control.
[0031] The first flow detector 14 is connected to the first solenoid valve 13 via a connecting flange and a sealing ring, while the second flow detector 16 is connected to the second solenoid valve 15 via a connecting flange and a sealing ring. This design not only ensures the reliability of the connection but also improves the accuracy of the detection. The first solenoid valve 13 and the second solenoid valve 15 can be opened and closed alternately, thereby achieving precise control of the flow rate of the oil-water separation discharge, ensuring the high efficiency and stability of the entire separation process.
[0032] Operating Procedure: Ensure all pipe and equipment components are tightly connected and leak-free. Check that the solenoid valves and flow detectors are functioning correctly. Ensure the pot lid 4 is closed and secured, and the manual valve 5 is closed. Open the manual valve 5 to allow the oil-water mixture to enter the pot body 3. Start the centrifugal oil-water separator pump 2 to begin the oil-water separation process. The oil-water mixture is separated under centrifugal force, with oil and water entering the separator 9 respectively. The first solenoid valve 13 and the second solenoid valve 15 alternately open and close to control the discharge of oil and water. The first flow detector 14 and the second flow detector 16 monitor the discharge of oil and water in real time, providing data support. Oil is discharged through the first discharge pipe 10, and water is discharged through the second discharge pipe 11. The Y-shaped pipe 12 ensures smooth material flow and separation. Adjust the opening and closing times of the solenoid valves based on the data provided by the flow detectors to ensure oil-water separation efficiency and accurate discharge volume. After the oil-water mixture has been processed, turn off the centrifugal oil-water separator pump 2. Close the manual valve 5 to stop material from entering the pot body 3.
[0033] Disassembly and Cleaning Process: Ensure the equipment is stopped and all solenoid valves are closed. Close manual valve 5 to ensure there is no pressure inside the pot 3. Disassemble the first discharge pipe 10 and the second discharge pipe 11 in sequence, being careful to loosen the threaded connections and remove the sealing rings. Disassemble the Y-type pipe 12, again being careful to remove the threaded connections and sealing rings. Remove the separator 9, inspect and clean its interior to ensure there are no residues. Clean the interior of the Y-type pipe 12 to ensure there are no blockages. Remove the pot lid 4 and clean the interior of the pot 3 to ensure there are no residues. Clean the pot lid 4 and check that the sealing rings are intact. Remove the centrifugal oil-water separator pump 2, clean its interior to ensure there are no blockages or wear. Inspect the pump's seals and bearings, and replace them if necessary. Inspect the sealing rings of all disassembled parts; replace them if damaged or aged. Reinstall all parts, ensuring tight connections and no leaks. Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly, ensuring that a new sealing ring is used at each connection. Restart the equipment and check for normal operation, ensuring there are no leaks or abnormal noises. Perform small-batch oil-water mixture treatment to verify the separation effect and whether the emission control is normal.
