DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Embodiment: In order to solve the problem of oil stain cleaning in the water collecting well, ensure the safety of downstream water quality, and urgently need to explore a new type of efficient, safe and environmentally friendly oil stain cleaning method, realize effective treatment of oil stains in the water collecting well, improve the efficiency of oil stain cleaning, reduce the risk of manual operation, and reduce the burden of manual operation.
[0024] Therefore, an air blowing assembly for oil surface is conceived, which can effectively clean oil stains with reduced labor input, meet environmental protection requirements, reduce potential risks of downhole operation, and ensure the safety of operating personnel.
[0025] As Figure 1As shown, the air blowing assembly comprises a gas supply pipeline 10, one end of the gas supply pipeline 10 is connected with a gas source, and the other end of the gas supply pipeline 10 is provided with an air blowing section 13 arranged on the water surface for blowing the oil stains on the water surface, and the air blowing section 13 is provided with an air blowing port 14 in communication with the gas supply pipeline 10.
[0026] According to common sense, oil and water are incompatible, and the same volume of oil is much lighter than water, that is, under the same conditions, the density of oil is less than that of water, so oil always floats on the water surface. The conception of the utility model is to first arrange an air blowing assembly on the water surface, and arrange the air blowing section 13 at the shore, because the oil is floating on the water surface, so by controlling the gas supply of the gas supply pipeline 10, the air blowing port 14 blows air to the water surface, and the oil stains floating on the water surface of the water collecting well are blown into the oil collecting tank 30 on the opposite side for centralized treatment. In this way, the time for entering the water collecting well for operation can be reduced, and the safety risk of operation is greatly reduced.
[0027] In order to keep the air blowing section 13 on the water surface at all times, in one embodiment, the air blowing assembly further comprises a carrier 20, and the air blowing section 13 is arranged on the carrier 20 and kept on the water surface by the carrier 20.
[0028] Specifically, the carrier 20 can keep the air blowing section 13 on the water surface by at least the following two different ways,
[0029] One of them is that the carrier 20 is connected with the water body shore and can slide up and down, and a locking member for locking the height of the carrier 20 is arranged between the carrier 20 and the water body shore. The carrier 20 can be a plate structure, and the side close to the shore can be a sliding block matched with a sliding groove of the shore, and then a locking bolt is arranged on the sliding block, when the air blowing section 13 is just located on the water surface by adjusting to the appropriate height, the locking bolt is tightened, and the sliding block is fixed in the sliding groove.
[0030] The other is that the carrier 20 is a floating raft, the air blowing section 13 is arranged at a suitable position on the floating raft, and the floating raft supports the air blowing section 13, so that the air blowing section 13 is just located on the water surface.
[0031] It should be noted that the water level will change, therefore, the gas supply pipeline 10 can be divided into three sections, as Figure 2 shown, which are a gas supply section 11 connected with the gas source, an intermediate section 12 connected with the gas supply section 11 and the air blowing section 13, and the air blowing section 13, and the intermediate section 12 can adopt the form of a hose to adapt to the height change of the air blowing section 13 caused by the height change of the water surface.
[0032] Generally speaking, the air pressure required by the air blowing assembly does not necessarily match the air pressure of the gas source completely, in order to obtain the required air pressure, the utility model further provides an oil blowing device for the oil surface, which comprises any one of the air blowing assemblies as described above, as Figure 2As shown, the gas supply pipeline 10 is connected to the gas source at one end, and is provided with a valve group 15 for pressure regulation.
[0033] Specifically, in one embodiment, the control valve group 15 includes a mechanical valve 16 and a remote control valve 17, which can be arranged in the above-mentioned gas supply section 11. The mechanical valve 16 is arranged on the side of the remote control valve 17 close to the gas source.
[0034] Before cleaning the oil in the water collection well, open the mechanical valve 16, and after reaching the required gas pressure, close the mechanical valve 16 to stop the aeration. When cleaning the oil, control the remote control valve 17 to open to release the gas pressure on the water surface to achieve the purpose of cleaning the oil. Of course, in order to detect the gas pressure, a pressure gauge can be arranged between the mechanical valve 16 and the remote control valve 17 on the gas supply section 11.
[0035] The blowing pipe only uses gas pressure to move the oil to the other side. In order to effectively collect the oil gathered by blowing, an oil collection tank is needed to ensure that the oil on the water surface can enter the oil collection tank 30 and not flow back into the water collection well. The oil inlet structure of the oil collection tank needs to be improved, such as Figure 3 As shown, an oil collection tank includes a specially designed oil inlet structure for guiding oil into the oil collection tank at the inlet of the oil collection tank 30, which includes an oil inlet 31, and a labyrinth 32 is arranged at the rear end of the oil inlet 31 to form a labyrinth that blocks the backflow of oil.
[0036] The oil inlet 31 is the front end away from the inside of the oil collection tank 30, and the rear end is close to the inside of the oil collection tank 30.
[0037] The blowing device moves the oil to the oil collection tank 30, and the inlet of the oil collection tank 30 is uniformly provided with a plurality of oil inlet structures along the width direction of the inlet for guiding the oil into the oil collection tank 30, and the labyrinth structure can prevent the collected oil from flowing back.
[0038] The oil inlet 31 of the oil collection tank 30 can be set as a horn-shaped structure with a small outer diameter and a large inner diameter, and can be arc-shaped concave, so that the floating oil blown in can more easily enter the oil collection tank 30. Then, a labyrinth 32 is arranged at the rear end of the oil inlet 31 to prevent the backflow of the entering oil. The labyrinth 32 is isosceles triangular, the top angle of the labyrinth 32 is located in the middle of the oil inlet 31, the two bottom angles of the labyrinth 32 are located on both sides of the rear end of the oil inlet, and the two waist edges of the labyrinth are arc-shaped concave. In this way, it is ensured that the collected oil in the oil collection tank 30 only enters but does not exit, and the combination structure of the blowing device and the oil collection tank 30 is as shown in Figure 4 .
[0039] In order to test the oil blowing device and the oil collecting tank 30 on the water collecting well oil pollution cleaning effect, select foam board to simulate the water collecting well and the oil collecting tank 30, and use the oil blowing device to blow oil pollution to the oil collecting tank 30 for experiment.
[0040] In the experiment, it is found that if the air pressure of the oil blowing device is too large, the water splash on the water surface will be splashed, which will cause the oil pollution to be not effectively cleaned, but if the air pressure of the oil blowing device is too small, the oil pollution cannot be completely blown into the oil collecting tank 30. In order to find the best air pressure value for cleaning oil pollution, after repeated adjustment of air pressure and multiple experiments, the best air pressure range of 0.1~0.15MPa for cleaning effect is finally found, if the air pressure is greater than this pressure, the water splash on the water surface will be too large, and the cleaning effect will be poor, and if the air pressure is less than this pressure, the oil pollution cannot be completely cleaned, only in this air pressure range, the floating oil can be completely blown into the oil collecting tank 30, and the significant cleaning effect can be obtained.
[0041] After the oil pollution is just cleaned, the oil pollution is completely collected in the right oil collecting tank 30; after standing for two days after cleaning, the oil pollution does not flow back into the water collecting well; after standing for a week, the labyrinth ring 32 is effective, and the oil pollution is completely collected in the oil collecting tank 30 and does not flow back.
[0042] The above-described embodiments only express the specific implementation of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the patent range of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection range of the present application.
