[0040] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The heating assembly comprises a heating tank 5 fixedly connected to the outer side of the separation tank 14 and a heating wire assembly 17 arranged in the inner side of each end of the heating tank 5.

[0041] Working principle: first, the crude oil produced from the wellhead is connected to the pipeline I 10 through the connecting assembly 26, and then the oil pumping machine I 2 is started to pump the crude oil from the wellhead and convey it into the separation tank 14. In the conveying process, the speed regulating valve 3 can adjust the flow rate of the crude oil into the separation tank 14 to ensure the stability of the subsequent separation process. After the crude oil is conveyed into the separation tank 14, the heating assembly on the outer side of the separation tank 14 works, and the heating wire assembly 17 in the inner side of each end of the heating tank 5 heats the crude oil in the separation tank 14. The purpose of heating is to reduce the viscosity of the crude oil and promote the separation of oil, water and gas in the crude oil.

[0042] Because the density of gas is small, it will gather in the top of the separation tank 14. So the vacuum pump 15 is started, the gas in the separation tank 14 is pumped out through the pipe two 11 and transported to the gas storage tank 8 for storage. Because the water in the crude oil is large in density, it will settle in the bottom of the separation tank 14. The filter pipe 18 inside the bottom plays a role, the multiple filter screens 19 inside it filter the water and remove the impurities and oil drops contained in the water. The filtered water is collected through the connecting funnel 20, and the valve assembly 21 can control the on-off of the water flow. The water pump 22 is started, and the filtered water is transported to the water tank 23 through the pipe three 12 for storage.

[0043] The crude oil after gas and water separation is finally transported to the oil storage tank 4 through the pipe four 13 from the separation tank 14 by the start of the oil pump two 24. The oil storage tank 4 is placed on the weighing device 6, the weighing device 6 measures the weight of the oil storage tank 4 and the crude oil in it in real time and transmits the measurement result to the display 7 for display, so as to realize the metering of the crude oil output.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application and does not limit the present application, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
