But these implementation modes do not limit the utility model, and the conversion of structure, method or function made by the ordinary skilled in the art according to these implementation modes is included in the protection scope of the utility model.

[0020] If the utility model for the time being involves the direction (for example, upper, lower, left, right, front, back, outer, inner, etc.), the direction involved needs to be defined, for example, "for clearly expressing the position and direction described in the utility model, taking the instrument operator as the reference, the end close to the operator is the proximal end, and the end far from the operator is the distal end." Or taking the paper as the reference, etc. are defined. Of course, if in the subsequent description, the position relationship between the two is defined by mutual reference, the definition can not be here.

[0021] A pipeline type gas-liquid separation device, as shown in Figure 1 The utility model discloses a pipeline type gas-liquid separation device, as shown in formula (1), including back gas main pipe 1, liquid collecting pipe 3, gas outlet pipe 2 and bypass pipe 4, back gas main pipe 1 is horizontally arranged, liquid collecting pipe 3 is communicated with back gas main pipe 1, gas outlet pipe 2 is communicated with back gas main pipe 1, gas-liquid mixture carries out gas-liquid separation in back gas main pipe 1, and the refrigerant gas after separation enters gas outlet pipe 2, and the refrigerant liquid after separation enters liquid collecting pipe 3, liquid collecting pipe 3 is arranged with back gas main pipe 1 to be inclined, and liquid collecting pipe 3 extends from back gas main pipe 1 downward, i.e. the liquid outlet of liquid collecting pipe 3 faces downward, and the liquid from back gas main pipe 1 into liquid collecting pipe 3 has the tendency of moving downward, gas outlet pipe 2 is arranged with back gas main pipe 1 to be inclined, and gas outlet pipe 2 extends from back gas main pipe 1 upward, and the gas from back gas main pipe 1 into gas outlet pipe 2 has the tendency of moving upward, bypass pipe 4 is communicated with liquid collecting pipe 3 and gas outlet pipe 2, and bypass pipe 4 is used for balancing the pressure between liquid collecting pipe 3 and gas outlet pipe 2, and the gas in liquid collecting pipe 3 enters gas outlet pipe 2 through bypass pipe 4.

[0022] The return gas main pipe 1 includes an inlet and a gas-liquid separation section. In the flow direction of the gas-liquid mixture, the inlet, gas-liquid separation section, outlet pipe 2, and collection pipe 3 are arranged sequentially. The outlet pipe 2 includes an outlet main pipe and a first T-shaped tee connector, which connects the return gas main pipe 1 and the outlet main pipe. The collection pipe 3 includes a collection main pipe and a second T-shaped tee connector, which connects the return gas main pipe 1 and the collection main pipe. The third port of the second T-shaped tee connector is sealed. The outlet pipe 2 is connected to the return gas main pipe 1 by welding the first T-shaped tee connector to it. The collection pipe 3 is connected to the return gas main pipe 1 by welding the second T-shaped tee connector to it. This not only enhances the stability of the connection but also facilitates later maintenance and replacement. In one embodiment of this utility model, the first T-shaped tee connector is connected to the second T-shaped tee connector. The two horizontal ports of the first T-shaped tee connector are respectively connected to the outlet of the return gas main pipe 1 and one horizontal port of the second T-shaped tee connector.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the bypass pipe 4 extends into the liquid collecting pipe 3, and the other end extends into the gas outlet pipe 2. This ensures that the refrigerant gas remaining in the liquid collecting pipe 3 can smoothly enter the gas outlet pipe 2, thereby preventing the accumulation of refrigerant gas in the liquid collecting pipe 3. The length of the bypass pipe 4 extending into the liquid collecting pipe 3 is greater than the length of the bypass pipe 4 extending into the gas outlet pipe 2, thereby maximizing the amount of gas in the liquid collecting pipe 3 that enters the bypass pipe 4. The bypass pipe 4 can be externally installed to maintain consistent gas pressure in the liquid collecting pipe 3 and the gas outlet pipe 2. Alternatively, the bypass pipe 4 can be internally installed to prevent refrigerant liquid from clogging the inlet of the gas outlet pipe 2.

[0025] The pipeline type gas-liquid separation device replaces the traditional container type gas-liquid separator with the pipeline type gas-liquid separation device, realizes gas-liquid separation by relying on liquid gravity and gas pressure, separates the liquid carried by the gas in the return air main pipe 1, ensures that the liquid content of the suction end of the compressor is qualified, has simple and compact structure design, wide application range, low manufacturing cost, and does not need additional power.
