[0017] The principles and characteristics of the utility model are described below in conjunction with the drawings, and the examples are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the scope of the utility model. According to the following description and claims, the advantages and characteristics of the utility model will be more clear. It should be noted that the drawings are very simplified and use non-precise proportions, only to facilitate, clear and assist the purpose of explaining the embodiment of the utility model.

[0018] In the prior art, the general water seal tank is single cavity type, only to block the air connection between the front tank of the water seal tank and the rear end equipment, to prevent backfire, when the biogas pressure required by the rear end equipment does not need to be changed, the water level in the water seal tank is generally not changed, and the water level does not need to be adjusted frequently, but at present, the automatic combustion torch is often connected behind the water seal tank in the industry, the purpose is to accumulate the generated biogas to a certain pressure and then automatically ignite and burn it off to prevent air pollution, and the operating principle of the automatic combustion torch is that when the biogas pressure behind the water seal tank reaches 2.5KPa, the torch automatically ignites and burns, and the pressure decreases, when the pressure decreases to below 0.5KPa, the torch stops burning, and waits for the biogas to accumulate to make the pressure reach the burning pressure limit value again, thus causing the pressure in the water seal tank to change periodically, and in actual application, the change of the pressure in the water seal tank will make the water level in the single cavity water seal tank lower and lower, eventually leading to biogas leakage.

[0019] As shown in Figure 1 The utility model provides a kind of biogas water seal tank, including tank 1, biogas inlet pipe 5 and biogas outlet pipe 6, overflow pipe 11, vent pipe 7, emptying pipe 10, it is characterized in that the tank 1 is divided into inlet-outlet cavity 2 and pressure balance cavity 3 by a partition 4, the partition 4 only bottom is opened communication hole 8, and inlet-outlet cavity 2 and pressure balance cavity 3 are communicated, the biogas inlet pipe 5 and biogas outlet pipe 6 are arranged at the top of inlet-outlet cavity 2, the vent pipe 7 is arranged at the top of pressure balance cavity 3, so that atmosphere and balance pressure cavity 3 air are communicated, the overflow pipe 11 is arranged in the side wall of pressure balance cavity 3, and the emptying pipe 10 is arranged in the side wall of tank 1, close to the bottom position of tank 1.

[0020] The communication hole 8 can be one or more circular holes with a diameter of 10 cm attached to the tank bottom.

[0021] Preferably, the communication hole 8 is raised by 10 cm along the bottom edge of the partition 4, not connected to the tank bottom, and the two cavity bodies are better connected.

[0022] The lower pipe opening of the biogas inlet pipe 5 is higher than the upper edge of the communication hole 8, preventing biogas from leaking into the pressure balance cavity 3 through the communication hole.

[0023] Preferably, a gas baffle 9 is arranged at the bottom of the biogas inlet-outlet cavity 2, the bottom edge and side edge of the gas baffle 9 are connected to the tank 1, the height is higher than the lower pipe opening position of the biogas inlet pipe 5 and the upper edge of the communication hole 8, and the biogas inlet pipe 5 and the communication hole 8 are separated on both sides, which can more effectively prevent biogas from leaking into the pressure balance cavity 3 through the communication hole 8 when the yield is too large.

[0024] The lower edge of the overflow pipe 11 is 30 cm higher than the lower pipe opening position of the biogas inlet pipe 5, and in actual application, the maximum liquid level difference between the two sides is 25 cm, so 30 cm can ensure that the lower pipe opening of the biogas inlet pipe 5 does not expose the water surface under the maximum pressure.

[0025] The working principle of the utility model is explained in detail as follows.

[0026] In practical application, the biogas inlet pipe 5 is connected with the front tank body of the water seal tank, the biogas outlet pipe 6 is connected with the automatic combustion torch, in the pressure increasing stage, the torch does not burn, the pressure in the inlet and outlet cavity 2 is continuously increased, the liquid level in the cavity is decreased, the air in the upper part of the pressure balance cavity 3 is connected with the atmosphere through the air pipe 7, so the liquid level in the pressure balance cavity 3 is increased, until the torch ignition pressure 2.5KPa is reached, the liquid level in the pressure balance cavity 3 is 25cm higher than that in the inlet and outlet cavity 2, the biogas generally carries water, when the total water quantity in the tank body 1 is too much in this stage, the water is discharged through the overflow pipe 11, if the water quantity in the tank body 1 is not much, the liquid level in the pressure balance cavity is lower than the pipe opening of the overflow pipe 11, so the water is not discharged, after the torch is ignited, the biogas is burned to enter the pressure decreasing stage, the pressure in the inlet and outlet cavity 2 is decreased, the liquid level is increased, the liquid level in the pressure balance cavity 3 is decreased, until the liquid level in the inlet and outlet cavity 2 and the pressure balance cavity 3 is balanced, the torch is extinguished, the next pressure increasing cycle is carried out, so the utility model only needs to add sufficient water when it is used for the first time, and no water supplement or water discharge is needed subsequently, which is very practical and convenient.
