Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cyclone gas-water separation and dehydration technology, specifically relating to a cyclone gas-water separation and dehydration device for compressed air systems. Background Technology

[0002] Compressed air plays a vital role in industrial production, but it often contains moisture and liquid water, which can affect its performance and equipment lifespan. Therefore, the function of a compressed air vapor-water separator is to separate moisture and liquid water from the air, thus drying the compressed air and preventing moisture damage to equipment and disruption to industrial production.

[0003] The aforementioned device lacks a cyclone separator structure for scraping water from the inner wall of the separator during use. This means that while existing technologies use centrifugal separation to allow gas to enter the separator tangentially and form a high-speed rotating airflow to separate water and gas, the separated water tends to accumulate on the inner wall of the separator for a long time without sliding off, thus affecting the gas-water separation effect. Based on the shortcomings of existing technology, this utility model designs a cyclone-type gas-water separation and dehydration device for compressed air systems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a cyclone-type air-water separation and dehydration device for compressed air systems, which features cyclone separation and water scraping on the inner wall of the separator.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cyclone-type air-water separation and dehydration device for a compressed air system, comprising a cyclone-type air-water separator, wherein a cyclone groove is provided inside the cyclone-type air-water separator, and a scraping mechanism is provided inside the cyclone-type air-water separator.

[0006] The wiper mechanism includes a wiper blade, a first air guide plate, a second air guide plate, a first slider, and a second slider. The wiper blade is rotatably connected inside the cyclone air-water separator. The first air guide plate is fixedly connected to one side of the wiper blade, the second air guide plate is fixedly connected to one side of the wiper blade, the first slider is fixedly connected to one side of the wiper blade, and the second slider is fixedly connected to one side of the wiper blade.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the cyclone-type air-water separation and dehydration device for compressed air system of this utility model, the bottom of the cyclone-type air-water separator is fixedly connected to a support foot, the lower surface of the support foot is fixedly connected to an mounting plate, the top of the cyclone-type air-water separator is provided with a top cover, and the top of the top cover is provided with an air inlet.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the cyclone-type air-water separation and dehydration device for compressed air system of this utility model, an air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the cyclone-type air-water separator, an overflow port is opened on one side of the air outlet pipe, and a drain port is opened on the lower surface of the cyclone-type air-water separator.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the cyclone-type air-water separation and dehydration device for compressed air system of this utility model, the cyclone channel has an arc-shaped groove one inside and an arc-shaped groove two inside.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the cyclone-type air-water separation and dehydration device for compressed air system according to the present invention, the scraper is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cyclone groove, and the air guide plate is rotatably connected to the inside of the cyclone groove.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the cyclone-type air-water separation and dehydration device for compressed air system of this utility model, the second air guide plate is rotatably connected to the inside of the cyclone groove, the first slider is rotatably connected to the inside of the first arc groove, and the second slider is rotatably connected to the inside of the second arc groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. In use, when compressed air enters the vortex tank through the overflow port, the airflow changes from linear motion to circular motion. Most of the rotating airflow spirals downwards along the wall of the vortex tank from the cylindrical body toward the cone, which is the outer vortex. During the rotation, the compressed air generates centrifugal force, which throws denser droplets toward the wall of the vortex tank. Once the droplets come into contact with the wall, they lose inertia and fall along the wall due to the momentum of the inlet velocity and downward gravity, entering the drain port. When the rotating and descending outer vortex airflow reaches the cone, it moves toward the center of the vortex tank due to the conical contraction structure. According to the principle of constant rotation distance, its tangential velocity continuously increases. When the airflow reaches a certain position at the lower end of the cone, it reverses direction from the bottom to the top from the middle of the vortex tank in the same direction of rotation, continuing to make spiral motion, forming the inner vortex airflow. The compressed air with higher dryness is discharged from the vortex tank through the air inlet.

[0015] 2. When this utility model is in use, if it is necessary to scrape water off the inner wall of the cyclone gas-water separator, firstly, when compressed air enters the interior of the cyclone groove, the airflow will change from linear motion to circular motion. Most of the rotating airflow spirals downwards from the cylindrical body along the wall of the cyclone groove, thus also blowing the first and second air guide plates to rotate. When the first and second air guide plates rotate, they drive the scraper strip to rotate, so that the scraper strip scrapes off the water droplets on the inner wall of the cyclone groove, allowing the water droplets to quickly enter the drain outlet. This device facilitates scraping water off the inner wall of the cyclone gas-water separator. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5The present invention provides the following technical solution: a cyclone gas-water separation and dehydration device for a compressed air system, including a cyclone gas-water separator 1, a cyclone gas-water separator 1 having a swirl groove 2 inside, and a scraper mechanism 3 inside the cyclone gas-water separator 1.

[0026] The bottom of the cyclone gas-water separator 1 is fixedly connected to a support foot 101, and the lower surface of the support foot 101 is fixedly connected to an mounting plate 102. The top of the cyclone gas-water separator 1 is provided with a top cover 103, and the top of the top cover 103 is provided with an air inlet 104.

[0027] A gas outlet pipe 105 is fixedly connected to one side of the cyclone gas-water separator 1. An overflow port 106 is provided on one side of the gas outlet pipe 105. A drain port 107 is provided on the lower surface of the cyclone gas-water separator 1.

[0028] Further explanation is needed: When compressed air enters the vortex tank 2 through the overflow port 106, the airflow changes from linear motion to circular motion. Most of the rotating airflow spirals downwards along the wall of the vortex tank 2 from the cylindrical body toward the cone, which is the outer vortex. During the rotation, the compressed air generates centrifugal force, throwing denser droplets toward the wall of the vortex tank 2. Once the droplets come into contact with the wall of the vortex tank 2, they lose inertial force and fall along the wall due to the momentum of the inlet velocity and downward gravity, entering the drain port 107. When the rotating and descending outer vortex airflow reaches the cone, it moves toward the center of the vortex tank 2 due to the conical contraction structure. According to the principle of constant rotation distance, its tangential velocity continuously increases. When the airflow reaches a certain position at the lower end of the cone, it reverses direction from the bottom to the top from the middle of the vortex tank 2 in the same direction of rotation, continuing to make spiral motion, forming the inner vortex airflow. The compressed air with higher dryness is discharged from the vortex tank 2 through the air inlet 104.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Please see Figure 3-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0031] The wiping mechanism 3 includes a wiper blade 301, a first air guide plate 302, a second air guide plate 303, a first slider 304, and a second slider 305. The wiper blade 301 is rotatably connected to the inside of the cyclone air-water separator 1. The first air guide plate 302 is fixedly connected to one side of the wiper blade 301, the second air guide plate 303 is fixedly connected to one side of the wiper blade 301, the first slider 304 is fixedly connected to one side of the wiper blade 301, and the second slider 305 is fixedly connected to one side of the wiper blade 301.

[0032] The interior of the vortex channel 2 has an arc-shaped groove 201 and an arc-shaped groove 202.

[0033] The wiper blade 301 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vortex trough 2, and the air guide plate 302 is rotatably connected to the inside of the vortex trough 2.

[0034] The second air guide plate 303 is rotatably connected to the inside of the vortex groove 2, the first slider 304 is rotatably connected to the inside of the first arc groove 201, and the second slider 305 is rotatably connected to the inside of the second arc groove 202.

[0035] Arc-shaped groove 1 201 is formed inside the cyclone gas-water separator 1, and arc-shaped groove 2 202 is formed inside the cyclone gas-water separator 1.

[0036] Further explanation is needed: When compressed air enters the interior of the vortex trough 2, the airflow changes from linear motion to circular motion. Most of the rotating airflow spirals downwards from the cylindrical body along the wall of the vortex trough 2, thus also causing the first air guide plate 302 and the second air guide plate 303 to rotate. When the first air guide plate 302 and the second air guide plate 303 rotate, they drive the wiper blade 301 to rotate, causing the wiper blade 301 to scrape away the water droplets on the inner wall of the vortex trough 2, allowing the water droplets to quickly enter the drain outlet 107.

[0037] Working principle: When a cyclone-type air-water separation and dehydration device for a compressed air system is used, the compressed air first enters the cyclone tank 2 through the overflow port 106. The airflow changes from linear motion to circular motion. Most of the rotating airflow spirals downwards along the wall of the cyclone tank 2 from the cylindrical body towards the cone, which is the outer cyclone. During the rotation, the compressed air generates centrifugal force, which throws the denser droplets towards the wall of the cyclone tank 2. Once the droplets come into contact with the wall of the cyclone tank 2, they lose inertia and fall down along the wall due to the momentum of the inlet velocity and the downward gravity, entering the drain port 107. When the rotating and descending outer cyclone airflow reaches the cone, it moves towards the center of the cyclone tank 2 due to the conical contraction structure. According to the principle of constant rotation distance, its tangential velocity continuously increases. When the airflow reaches a certain position at the lower end of the cone, it reverses direction from bottom to top from the middle of the cyclone tank 2 in the same direction of rotation, continuing to make spiral motion, forming the inner cyclone airflow. The compressed air with higher dryness is discharged from the cyclone tank 2 through the air inlet 104.

[0038] When it is necessary to scrape water off the inner wall of the cyclone air-water separator 1, compressed air first enters the interior of the cyclone groove 2. The airflow changes from linear motion to circular motion. Most of the rotating airflow spirals downwards from the cylindrical body along the wall of the cyclone groove 2, thus also causing the first air guide plate 302 and the second air guide plate 303 to rotate. When the first air guide plate 302 and the second air guide plate 303 rotate, they drive the scraper strip 301 to rotate, so that the scraper strip 301 scrapes away the water droplets on the inner wall of the cyclone groove 2, allowing the water droplets to quickly enter the drain outlet 107. This device facilitates scraping water off the inner wall of the cyclone air-water separator 1.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
