Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an oil remover, and more particularly to a compression-type activated carbon oil remover. Background Technology
[0002] Activated carbon oil separators are widely used in various industries such as new energy, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing. Their main purpose is to remove oily substances and other impurities from gases to achieve purification. In industrial production, especially in fields requiring high-purity raw materials or products, activated carbon oil separators play an important role. They can effectively adsorb and fix oily substances and other pollutants, ensuring that the treated gas meets the requirements of subsequent processes or uses. In addition, activated carbon oil separators also help extend the service life of related equipment, reduce maintenance costs, and improve production efficiency.
[0003] In traditional activated carbon oil separators, the activated carbon layer can become loose or damaged due to mechanical vibration and airflow impact during long-term use, thus affecting the oil removal effect and stability. Some existing activated carbon oil separators fill the activated carbon into a certain regular tooling to improve the stability of the activated carbon during use. However, this method can restrict the loading and unloading of activated carbon, making it inconvenient to use and replace. Moreover, each reinstallation requires reconsidering whether the distribution and setting of the activated carbon are within a reasonable range. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a compressed activated carbon oil separator that can not only adsorb suspended particles, organic matter and other impurities in the air to further improve the quality of the gas, but also has high adsorption capacity and long service life, which can reduce the frequency of adsorbent replacement and reduce maintenance costs, effectively solving the above problems.
[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] A compression-type activated carbon oil separator includes an oil removal tank. A mating plate is provided on the top surface of the oil removal tank, and a tank cover is provided on the top of the oil removal tank. The outer side of the tank cover engages with the mating plate via a locking plate. An air outlet pipe is provided on the top of the tank cover, and an air inlet pipe is connected to the bottom of the outer side of the oil removal tank. The oil removal tank is filled with activated carbon, and further includes:
[0007] The activated carbon compression structure includes a lower compression component located at the bottom of the oil removal tank, an upper compression component located inside the tank cover, and an inclined discharge pipe located at the lower end of the outer side of the oil removal tank. The activated carbon is filled into the oil removal tank. When the tank cover and the oil removal tank are locked together, the activated carbon is compressed between the upper and lower compression components. After a fixed period of use, the activated carbon is discharged through the inclined discharge pipe.
[0008] As a further improvement, the upper pressing assembly includes an upper pressure plate welded to the outer wall of the exhaust pipe. Below the upper pressure plate, corresponding to the air inlet position of the exhaust pipe, there is an exhaust chamber bolted to it. Several springs are also provided below the upper pressure plate. The bottom of the springs is connected to a spring pressing plate. Several passage areas are opened on the spring pressing plate. The spring pressing plate presses against the upper end of the activated carbon. After being filtered by the activated carbon, the gas passes through the passage areas and is discharged from the exhaust chamber area of the exhaust pipe.
[0009] As a further improvement, the exhaust chamber includes a stainless steel mesh connected to the lower end of the upper pressure plate. The stainless steel mesh is connected to a passage cavity, through which the gas enters and flows into the exhaust pipe.
[0010] As a further improvement, the lower pressing assembly includes a lower pressing plate disposed in the inner wall of the oil removal tank, and a screen is connected below the lower pressing plate. The lower pressing plate supports large-particle activated carbon, and the oil obtained by filtering through the large-particle activated carbon will drip through the screen to the bottom of the oil removal tank.
[0011] As a further improvement, the lower pressing assembly includes a lower pressing plate disposed in the inner wall of the oil removal tank, and a screen is connected below the lower pressing plate. The lower pressing plate supports large-particle activated carbon, and the oil obtained by filtering through the large-particle activated carbon will drip through the screen to the bottom of the oil removal tank.
[0012] As a further improvement, a drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the oil removal tank, and the drain pipe is connected to an external negative pressure suction structure.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] In existing oil separators, activated carbon is often fixed using fixtures. This is not only cumbersome to install and set up, but also difficult and labor-intensive to load and unload the activated carbon. Furthermore, the activated carbon in the separator is unstable, and the oil removal efficiency remains questionable. Therefore, this invention adds an activated carbon clamping structure, which holds the activated carbon within a fixed space through lower and upper clamping components, forming a stable activated carbon filter layer. When pressurized gas passes through the activated carbon area, the activated carbon can deeply remove oily substances from the compressed air. The porous structure of the activated carbon gives it a large specific surface area, effectively adsorbing and fixing oily substances, reducing the oil content in the compressed air. Simultaneously, the restricted movement of the activated carbon ensures stability, guaranteeing both the oil removal effect and the overall stable oil removal process.
[0015] During the pressing process of the upper pressing component, it not only needs to press the activated carbon, but also needs to allow the gas to be smoothly discharged to the outlet pipe. Therefore, the upper pressing component of the present invention is not only provided with a spring and a spring pressing plate for pressing, but also has a passage area opened on the spring pressing plate and an exhaust chamber set at the position of the upper pressing plate to allow the gas to flow, thereby forming the effect of discharging high-quality gas under the filtration of stable activated carbon.
[0016] The entire exhaust chamber has a hollow passageway to facilitate gas discharge. Before entering the passageway, the gas undergoes a final filtration process using a stainless steel mesh to prevent particles from settling inside. The stainless steel mesh also significantly reduces potential sediment buildup within the passageway, thereby improving exhaust quality.
[0017] During the pressing process of the lower pressing component, a support method is adopted. Activated carbon is initially placed in this area and forms an activated carbon layer through layer stacking. Therefore, all oily substances and dirt will also concentrate in this area. In order to avoid clogging of the drain pipe, a screen needs to be installed in the lower pressing component to form an effect of inner support and outer filtration and screening.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 7As shown, a compression-type activated carbon oil separator includes an oil separator tank 10. A mating plate 11 is provided on the top surface of the oil separator tank 10. A tank cover 20 is provided on the top of the oil separator tank 10. The outer side of the tank cover 20 is engaged with the mating plate 11 via a locking plate 21. An air outlet pipe 22 is provided on the top of the tank cover 20. An air inlet pipe 12 is connected to the bottom of the outer side of the oil separator tank 10. The oil separator tank 10 is filled with activated carbon. The activated carbon oil separator further includes an activated carbon compression structure 30, comprising a lower compression component 31 disposed at the bottom of the inside of the oil separator tank 10, an upper compression component 32 disposed inside the tank cover 20, and an inclined pipe 33 disposed at the lower end of the outer side of the oil separator tank 10. The activated carbon is used to fill the oil separator tank 10. When the tank cover 20 and the oil separator tank 10 are locked together, the activated carbon is compressed between the upper compression component 32 and the lower compression component 31. After a fixed period of use, the activated carbon is discharged through the... The inclined pipe 33 discharges activated carbon externally; the inner top plate decontamination structure includes a heating element 41 disposed inside the upper pressing assembly 32. The heating element 41 is connected to an external circuit through an external conduit through the upper pressing assembly 32. When the upper pressing assembly 32 presses down the activated carbon, the heating element 41 is tightly attached to the bottom of the inner side of the upper pressing assembly 32; the segmented arrangement structure 50 divides the activated carbon into large-particle activated carbon and small-particle activated carbon. The segmented arrangement structure 50 includes a receiving fixture 51 disposed inside the oil removal tank 10. The receiving fixture 51 is divided into upper and lower parts by a divider 52. The large-particle activated carbon is filled in the lower half of the receiving fixture 51, and the small-particle activated carbon is contained in the upper half of the receiving fixture 51. When the activated carbon is discharged externally, the large-particle activated carbon is discharged through the inclined pipe 33. When the divider 52 is activated, the small-particle activated carbon is discharged into the lower half of the receiving fixture 51.
[0029] During the oil removal process using activated carbon, the activated carbon needs to be laid out first. First, open the can lid 20 and put large-particle activated carbon into the lower part of the receiving fixture 51. After the lower half of the area is completely covered, adjust the disconnector 52 and then put in small-particle activated carbon. Finally, close the can lid 20 to achieve a limit seal between the two areas.
[0030] Compressed gas (which can be air) is introduced through the inlet pipe 12, passes through the lower pressure plate 311, the activated carbon layer, and the upper pressing assembly 32, and is then discharged from the outlet pipe 22.
[0031] In existing oil separators, fixed fixtures are often used to fix activated carbon. This is not only cumbersome to install and set up, but also difficult and labor-intensive to load and unload the activated carbon. Furthermore, the activated carbon in the oil separator is unstable, and the oil removal efficiency remains questionable. Therefore, this invention adds an activated carbon clamping structure 30, which holds the activated carbon in a fixed space via a lower clamping component 31 and an upper clamping component 32, thus forming a stable activated carbon filter layer. When pressurized gas passes through the activated carbon area, the activated carbon can deeply remove oily substances from the compressed air. The porous structure of the activated carbon gives it a large specific surface area, which can effectively adsorb and fix oily substances, reducing the oil content in the compressed air. Simultaneously, because the movement of the activated carbon is restricted, it is relatively stable, ensuring both effective oil removal and a highly stable overall oil removal process.
[0032] During the pressing process of the upper pressing assembly 32, it not only needs to press the activated carbon, but also needs to allow the gas to be smoothly discharged to the position of the gas outlet pipe 22. Therefore, the upper pressing assembly 32 in this embodiment includes an upper pressure plate 321 welded to the outer wall of the gas outlet pipe 22. Below the upper pressure plate 321, corresponding to the position where the gas outlet pipe 22 is inlet, there is a gas exhaust chamber 322 bolted to it. Several springs 323 are also provided below the upper pressure plate 321. The bottom of the several springs 323 is connected to a spring pressing plate 324. The spring pressing plate 324 has an opening on its upper surface. The system includes several passage zones 325. The spring clamping plate 324 is pressed against the upper end of the activated carbon. After being filtered by the activated carbon, the gas passes through the passage zones 325 and is discharged from the exhaust pipe 22 in the area of the exhaust chamber 322. The upper clamping assembly 32 is not only equipped with a spring 323 and a spring clamping plate 324 for clamping, but also has passage zones 325 on the spring clamping plate 324. The exhaust chamber 322 is set at the position of the upper pressure plate 321 to allow the gas to flow, thereby achieving the effect of discharging high-quality gas under the filtration of stable activated carbon.
[0033] The passage chamber 3222 in the entire exhaust chamber 322 is hollow. Specifically, the exhaust chamber 322 includes a stainless steel mesh 3221 connected to the lower end of the upper pressure plate 321. The stainless steel mesh 3221 is connected to the passage chamber 3222. After the gas enters through the stainless steel mesh 3221, it flows into the exhaust pipe 22 through the passage chamber 3222, which facilitates the gas discharge. Before entering the passage chamber 3222, the gas needs to be filtered by the stainless steel mesh 3221 to prevent particles from settling in the passage chamber 3222. The stainless steel mesh 3221 can also significantly reduce the sedimentation that may form in the passage chamber 3222, thereby improving the exhaust quality.
[0034] Furthermore, a drain pipe 70 is connected to the bottom of the oil removal tank 10, and the drain pipe 70 is connected to an external negative pressure suction structure.
[0035] During the pressing process of the lower pressing assembly 31, a supporting method is adopted. The activated carbon is initially placed in this area and forms an activated carbon layer through layer stacking. Therefore, all oily substances and dirt will also concentrate in this area. In order to avoid clogging of the drain pipe 70, the lower pressing assembly 31 of this embodiment includes a lower pressing plate 311 disposed in the inner wall of the oil removal tank 10. A screen 312 is connected below the lower pressing plate 311. The lower pressing plate 311 supports large-particle activated carbon. The oil obtained by filtering through the large-particle activated carbon will drip through the screen to the bottom of the oil removal tank 10. By setting the screen 312 in the lower pressing assembly 31, the effect of inner support of the lower pressing plate 311 and filtration and screening on the outside of the screen 312 is formed.
[0036] Although the activated carbon is bound by the lower clamping component 31 and the upper clamping component 32, this also brings a problem: some of the upward-flowing oily components will stick to the lower end of the upper clamping component 32, forming an oily layer that is difficult to clean. The newly introduced air will always be affected by the oily layer, and the overall degreasing effect will be affected. Therefore, the present invention provides an inner top plate decontamination structure in the upper clamping component 32 based on the lower clamping component 31 and the upper clamping component 32. The heating element 41 can heat the part of the upper clamping component 32 that is in contact with the activated carbon, thereby continuously keeping the area of the upper clamping component 32 that may be adhered to in a state of constant heating. The oily substances cannot solidify and can only be continuously discharged downwards, so that they will not be re-contaminated when the compressed air passes through the area covered by the upper clamping component 32.
[0037] During heating, the internal space of the entire upper pressing assembly 32 is compressed because the upper pressing assembly 32 is equipped with a spring 323 and a spring pressing plate 324. Therefore, the heating element 41 includes a heater 411 fixed below the exhaust chamber 322. The lower end of the heater 411 is connected to a heating plate 412. After the spring pressing plate 324 is squeezed upward by the activated carbon, the heating plate 412 is tightly attached to the upper part of the spring pressing plate 324. The inner top plate cleaning structure is not set to be completely attached from the beginning. Instead, it will be completely attached to the heating plate 412 after the spring pressing plate 324 is pressed. The heating of the heating plate 412 heats the spring pressing plate 324, making it less likely for oil to accumulate on the side of the spring pressing plate 324 near the activated carbon, thereby greatly improving the practical effect of the present invention.
[0038] In conventional oil separators, activated carbon of uniform specifications is used. Although it can achieve the same filtration and separation effect, the load of activated carbon at the lower end is actually greater than that at the upper end. Therefore, this invention sets a segmented arrangement structure 50 inside the oil separator tank 10. The area of the oil separator tank 10 containing activated carbon is divided into two parts by a receiving tool 51 and a separator 52, and two types of activated carbon with different diameters are filled. Large-particle activated carbon is set at the lower end, which can achieve better adsorption effect and better discharge during the sewage discharge stage. Small-particle activated carbon is set at the top, with a denser arrangement and a larger number of particles, thereby achieving a high-precision full coverage effect.
[0039] Specifically, the separator 52 is located in the middle of the accommodating fixture 51. The separator 52 includes a rotating component 521 disposed on the outer wall of the oil removal tank 10. A separating mesh plate 522 is connected to the output end of the rotating component 521. The diameter of the holes on the separating mesh plate 522 is smaller than the diameter of the small granular activated carbon particles. During discharge, the larger particles at the bottom are discharged first. After the bottom is discharged, the small granular activated carbon particles are discharged. After the bottom is discharged, the rotating component 521 in the separator 52 is rotated to create a gap between the separating mesh plate 522 and the inner wall of the oil removal tank 10, which allows the upper layer of material to be discharged downwards. This enables graded discharge and separates activated carbon for different uses. After recycling, it can be regenerated in a graded manner.
[0040] In order to fully achieve stability between activated carbons and improve the practical effect of the invention during the fabric application process, the invention also provides a lower adjustment structure 60 in the area corresponding to the lower pressure plate 311 of the oil removal tank 10. The lower pressure plate 311 and the screen 312 are movably connected to the inner wall of the oil removal tank 10. The side walls of the lower pressure plate 311 and the screen 312 are open. The lower adjustment structure 60 includes several pushing members 61 connected below the screen 312. The outer side wall of the oil removal tank 10 is provided with an alignment member 62. When the lower pressure plate 311... 1. When the screen 312 is moved to the accurate position, the alignment member 62 is locked onto the opening of the lower pressure plate 311 and the side wall of the screen 312. Through the push member 61 and the alignment member 62 provided in the lower adjustment structure 60, the lower pressure plate 311 can reach the accurate area, so that the gaps between the activated carbon are fully filled, the filter surface is more comprehensive and stable, and the overall weight after adjustment is not only borne by the push member 61, but also distributed by the laterally fixed alignment member 62, so that the pressure bearing of the lower pressure plate 311 is more stable.
[0041] Specifically, the alignment member 62 includes a mating cylinder 621 embedded in the outer wall of the oil removal tank 10. A mating pin 622 is screwed into the mating cylinder 621. The mating pin 622 passes through the mating cylinder 621 and connects to the openings on the side walls of the lower pressure plate 311 and the screen 312.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
