Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment equipment technology, and more specifically, to a water supply pipeline sand removal device that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] A hydrocyclone sand separator is a water treatment device that can achieve sand removal, turbidity reduction, and solid-liquid separation in the field of water treatment. After the hydrocyclone sand separator is connected to the drainage pipeline, it should be installed on the main pipeline of the water supply network and fixed on the base to ensure that the entire sand removal operation is carried out smoothly.

[0003] A search revealed that patent publication number CN115708971A discloses a circulating sand removal device for irrigation water, comprising a cyclone sand separator, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe disposed on the cyclone sand separator. The cyclone sand separator has two layers of sidewalls. The inner sidewall forms a cyclone cavity, and a sedimentation cavity is formed between the inner and outer sidewalls. Multiple through holes connecting the cyclone cavity and the sedimentation cavity are provided on the inner sidewall. Elastic baffles that conform to the through holes are provided on the outer side of the inner sidewall, with a one-to-one arrangement of the elastic baffles and through holes. An outlet is provided on the outer sidewall of the cyclone sand separator, connected to the inlet pipe via a return pipe, to circulate and remove sand from the sand-laden water entering the sedimentation cavity. This invention is used to circulate and separate sand particles in irrigation water, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the sprinkler irrigation device. During the development of this utility model, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology:

[0004] Existing sand separators are often inconvenient to install in many buildings because water supply pipes are often installed in narrow manholes, corners, or the angle between the ceiling and the wall. Installing sand separators in these space-constrained areas requires a lot of space to bend or splice the pipes, which leads to cramped operating space and inconvenience. When the water supply pipes are close to other facilities, workers may not be able to turn the wrench fully to tighten the connecting nuts, or it may be difficult to place the sand separator in a suitable position for installation.

[0005] Therefore, a sand removal device for water supply pipelines that is easy to install is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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. Example 1

[0025] As attached Figures 1 to 4The water supply pipeline sand removal device shown includes an upper vortex shell 1, an inlet regulating component 6, and an outlet regulating component 7. A lower vortex shell 2 is installed below the upper vortex shell 1. The shell of the lower vortex shell 2 is inverted conical. The upper vortex shell 1 and the lower vortex shell 2 are connected to each other by bolts. The upper vortex shell 1 and the lower vortex shell 2 together form a set of hydrocyclone structures. A stainless steel tank 3 is installed at the bottom of the lower vortex shell 2. An inlet 4 is opened on the left side of the upper end of the upper vortex shell 1, and an outlet 5 is opened at the center of the upper end of the upper vortex shell 1. The inlet regulating component 6 is installed on one side of the inlet 4. The inlet regulating component 6 includes an inlet connecting pipe 601. The inlet connecting pipe 601 is installed on the left side of the inlet 4. A first rotating pipe 602 is provided on the left side of the inlet connecting pipe 601. A first extended flexible pipe 603 is installed on the left side of the first rotating pipe 602.

[0026] The water outlet regulating component 7 is located above the water outlet 5. The water outlet regulating component 7 includes a water outlet connecting pipe 701, which is installed on the upper end face of the water outlet 5. A second rotating pipe 702 is provided at the upper end of the water outlet connecting pipe 701. A second extended flexible pipe 703 is installed above the second rotating pipe 702. The outer surfaces of the first extended flexible pipe 603 and the second extended flexible pipe 703 are both corrugated. The bottom of the stainless steel tank 3 is inverted conical. The upper vortex shell 1 and the lower vortex shell 2 are interconnected with the stainless steel tank 3. A sand discharge pipe 8 is provided at the bottom of the stainless steel tank 3. A valve 9 is installed on the pipe body of the sand discharge pipe 8. Support feet 10 are installed around the outer surface of the lower vortex shell 2.

[0027] The hydrocyclone structure consists of an upper swirling shell 1 and a conical lower swirling shell 2. The inlet connecting pipe 601 serves as the connection medium between the inlet 4 and the first rotating pipe 602. The inlet connecting pipe 601, through its movable connection with the first rotating pipe 602, can flexibly rotate around its connection point. This allows for convenient adjustment of the water inlet direction within a confined space, adapting to different water supply pipe layouts. When the water supply pipe is located on the side and has a certain angular deviation from the inlet 4 of the sand separator, the first rotating pipe 602... It can be easily rotated to a suitable angle, reducing installation difficulty caused by pipeline routing issues and improving installation efficiency. The flexible nature of the metal corrugation of the first extended flexible pipe 603 allows for bending and deformation in space-constrained areas, thereby expanding the range of adjustable changes for connection with water supply pipelines. Water enters through the inlet 4 and can utilize the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of water flow within the shell to effectively separate sand particles from water. It can quickly process sand particles and impurities in a large amount of water flow, ensuring the stable operation of the water supply system. Due to the special shape of the hydrocyclone structure and the tangential entry method of the water flow, a high-speed rotating flow field is formed inside. In this swirling flow field, sand particles are thrown towards the wall of the device and move downwards under the action of centrifugal force. In the central region of the swirling flow field, an upward axial velocity component is formed.

[0028] As the surrounding water moves outwards and downwards, the water in the central area flows upwards along the axis and is discharged through outlet 5, which is connected via outlet connection pipe 701. The second rotating pipe 702 is the same as the first rotating pipe 602, allowing for flexible rotation in multiple directions, facilitating adjustment of the water outlet direction according to the actual installation environment. The flexible nature of the metal corrugations of the second extended flexible pipe 703 allows for bending and deformation in confined spaces, thus connecting to external water supply pipes to discharge water. Simultaneously, the stainless steel tank 3 provides an effective collection and storage space for sand particles. During sand removal, sand particles settle to the bottom of the stainless steel tank 3 under the action of water flow. Its reasonable internal structure design facilitates sand particle aggregation and prevents sand particles from re-mixing into the water flow. The sand discharge pipe 8 provides a dedicated discharge channel for the sand particles collected in the stainless steel tank 3. When the valve 9 on the sand discharge pipe 8 is opened for sand discharge, since the sand particles are concentrated at the bottom of the cone, they can pass through the sand discharge pipe 8 more smoothly and completely under the action of gravity. The sand flows out of the tank, reducing the amount of sand residue. When the sand accumulates to a certain level, it can be easily discharged by opening valve 9. The four sets of support legs 10 provide a stable support structure for the lower vortex shell 2 and the entire sand separator. During installation, the support legs 10 can ensure that the sand separator is placed stably on the ground or installation platform. Example 2

[0029] Based on Example 1, the solution in Example 1 will be further described in detail below with reference to the specific working method, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown below, see details:

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the inlet connecting pipe 601 is connected to the inlet port 4 by bolts, and the inlet connecting pipe 601 and the first rotating pipe 602 are movably connected. Furthermore, the movable connection between the inlet connecting pipe 601 and the first rotating pipe 602 allows for easy adjustment of the water inlet direction during installation. Since the direction of the water supply pipe is restricted in a confined space and varies, this connection method allows the first rotating pipe 602 to rotate freely relative to the inlet connecting pipe 601. The inlet connecting pipe 601, connected to the inlet port 4 by bolts, provides a relatively robust connection structure that can withstand a certain amount of water flow impact and vibration, preventing the connection from loosening.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the water outlet connecting pipe 701 is connected to the water outlet 5 by bolts, and the water outlet connecting pipe 701 and the second rotating pipe 702 are movably connected; furthermore, the movable connection between the water outlet connecting pipe 701 and the second rotating pipe 702 allows for flexible adjustment of their relative positions within a limited space, and the connection between the water outlet connecting pipe 701 and the water outlet 5 by bolts can evenly distribute the connection pressure, effectively resist the impact of water flow and equipment vibration, and prevent the connection from loosening or falling off.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the outlet 5 away from the outlet regulating component 7 extends into the inner cavity of the upper vortex shell 1; further, the outlet 5 extends into the inner cavity of the upper vortex shell 1, so that the incoming water flow can participate more deeply in the vortex process, making full use of the space inside the vortex generator to form a more stable and stronger swirling flow, which facilitates the discharge of the rising water flow.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, rotating the first rotating tube 602 and the second rotating tube 702 respectively changes the position of the first extended flexible tube 603 and the second extended flexible tube 703, adjusting the bending angle of the tube bodies of the first extended flexible tube 603 and the second extended flexible tube 703. Furthermore, by rotating the first rotating tube 602 and the second rotating tube 702 to change their respective positions and bending angles, the first extended flexible tube 603 and the second extended flexible tube 703 can cleverly avoid these obstacles, allowing the sand separator to be smoothly connected to the water supply and drainage pipeline system, thereby adapting to different directions and narrow spaces.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, all four sets of support legs 10 are inclined toward the side away from the lower vortex shell 2, and the four sets of support legs 10 are arranged at equal intervals around the outer surface of the lower vortex shell 2; furthermore, the four sets of equally spaced support legs 10 are all inclined toward the side away from the lower vortex shell 2, so that the bottom landing point of the support legs 10 is more dispersed than that of vertical support, thereby effectively expanding the overall support bottom area of ​​the sand remover.

[0035] The working process of this utility model is as follows: First, water enters through the first extended flexible tube 603. The corrugated metal outer surface and adjustable bending angle of the first extended flexible tube 603 enable it to adapt to different water inlet pipe positions. After passing through the first rotating tube 602 and the water inlet connecting tube 601, the water enters the upper vortex shell 1 from the water inlet 4. In the hydrocyclone structure formed by the water inlet 4 and the lower vortex shell 2, since the lower vortex shell 2 is inverted cone shape and the water inlet 4 is on the side wall of the upper vortex shell 1, the water flow forms a high-speed rotating vortex in the shell. During the rotation, sand particles are thrown towards the shell wall due to centrifugal force. The heavier sand particles move downward along the inverted cone wall of the lower vortex shell 2, while the relatively clean water is in the center area of ​​the vortex.

[0036] This swirling separation method can efficiently separate sand particles from water. The relatively clean water in the center of the swirling area forms an upward axial velocity component due to the rotational compression of the surrounding water and the difference in the distribution of centrifugal force. This water flows out through the outlet 5. When passing through the outlet connecting pipe 701, the connection is ensured by bolts. Then, the water flows through the movable second rotating pipe 702. Its rotatable characteristics allow the installation direction of the water outlet system to be flexibly adjusted according to the position of the drainage pipe. Finally, the water is discharged through the second extended flexible pipe 703. The corrugated metal structure of the second extended flexible pipe 703 can also adapt to complex drainage pipe layouts. The sand particles are thrown down the wall of the swirling shell 2 and move downward.

[0037] Finally, the sand falls into the stainless steel tank 3, which has an inverted cone shape at the bottom. The inverted cone design allows the sand particles to slide down the tank wall and accumulate at the lowest point of the tank, achieving effective collection of sand particles. When it is necessary to discharge the sand particles, the valve 9 on the sand discharge pipe 8 is opened. Since the sand particles are concentrated at the bottom of the stainless steel tank 3, they are discharged from the tank through the sand discharge pipe 8 under the action of gravity, reducing sand particle residue. Four sets of support legs 10 provide load-bearing support for the equipment. The above is the working principle of this easy-to-install water supply pipeline sand removal device.
