[0025] 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.
[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-5The shown petroleum engineering gas-liquid separator includes a cylinder 1, a drain valve 3 connected to the bottom end of the cylinder 1, an air inlet 2 and a manhole 4 on one side of the cylinder 1, an air outlet 6 on the other side, a removable cylinder cover 5 on the top end of the cylinder 1, and a first filter element 9 and a second filter element 10 arranged inside the cylinder 1. The second filter element 10 is located below the first filter element 9, and a connecting structure 13 connects the second filter element 10 and the first filter element 9. An inclined baffle 8 is installed at one end of the air inlet 2.
[0027] It also includes a clamping structure 11 for fixing the first filter element 9. The clamping structure 11 includes a connecting block 111 located on the top of the first filter element 9 and a pressing block 112 fixed to the bottom of the cylinder cover 5. The top of the cylinder 1 is provided with a groove 113 for inserting the connecting block 111 and the pressing block 112. A support block 12 for supporting the second filter element 10 is installed on the inner wall of the cylinder 1. The connecting block 111 and the pressing block 112 are obliquely cut on opposite sides to form a fastening part that fits together.
[0028] Specifically, the first filter element 9 includes an upper cover plate 91, a lower cover plate 92, and blades 93 and wire mesh 94 installed between the upper cover plate 91 and the lower cover plate 92. The connecting block 111 is installed on the outer circumference of the upper cover plate 91.
[0029] Specifically, the second filter element 10 includes a filter ring 101, and a filter screen 102 is installed in the middle of the filter ring 101.
[0030] Specifically, the connecting structure 13 includes a sleeve 131 installed at the bottom of the lower cover plate 92 and a connecting rod 132 fixed on the filter ring 101. The connecting rod 132 can be inserted into the inside of the sleeve 131, and a pin 133 that passes through the connecting rod 132 is inserted into one side of the sleeve 131.
[0031] As described above, during use, gas can enter the cylinder 1 through the air inlet 2. At this time, the baffle 8 performs preliminary cyclone separation on the gas (this principle is existing technology, please refer to the prior art document (authorization announcement number: CN 215463053 U, name: a high-efficiency gas-liquid separator), which will not be elaborated here). This causes the larger solid particles in the gas to come into contact with the baffle 8 and fall to the bottom of the cylinder 1 under the action of gravity. Then the gas rises and is first filtered by the second filter element 10, that is, through inertial separation. The holes on the filter screen 102 ensure that most of the mist liquid is separated. Then the gas flows into the first filter element 9, where most of the liquid phase components are filtered out by the wire mesh 94. Finally, the gas is defoamed by the blades 93, thus achieving three-stage filtration of the gas, which greatly improves the gas separation effect.
[0032] When the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10 need cleaning or maintenance, the cylinder cover 5 can be removed from the top of the cylinder body 1 first, and then the first filter element 9 can be pulled upward to remove the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10 from the cylinder body 1. Then, the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10 can be cleaned or maintained. After cleaning or maintenance, the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10 can be inserted into the cylinder body 1. At this time, the support block 12 supports the second filter element 10, and the connecting block 111 is inserted into the groove 113. Then, the cylinder cover 5 is installed on the cylinder body 1. At this time, the pressing block 112 is inserted into the groove 113 and presses on the top of the connecting block 111 to press and fix the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10, thus completing the installation of the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10. This enables the quick installation and removal of the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10, making it convenient for cleaning or maintenance of the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10.
[0033] Furthermore, when the first filter element 9 or the second filter element 10 needs to be replaced, the pin rod 133 can be pulled out from the sleeve 131, and then the first filter element 9 can be pulled upwards so that the sleeve 131 can be pulled out from the connecting rod 132, thereby separating the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10. Then, the first filter element 9 or the second filter element 10 can be replaced. After replacement, the sleeve 131 can be put on the connecting rod 132, and the pin rod 133 can be inserted into the sleeve 131 to fix the sleeve 131 and the connecting rod 132, thereby connecting the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10. This allows for quick separation between the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10, facilitating the individual replacement of the first filter element 9 or the second filter element 10 and ensuring the subsequent use of the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10.
[0034] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, a positioning pin 114 is installed at the fastening part on the connecting block 111, and a positioning hole for the positioning pin 114 to be inserted is provided at the fastening part on the pressure block 112.
[0035] When the pressure block 112 is pressed onto the connecting block 111, the positioning pin 114 is inserted into the positioning hole to quickly position the pressure block 112 and the connecting block 111, thereby facilitating a stable connection between the connecting block 111 and the pressure block 112. This further facilitates the cylinder cover 5 to stably press the first filter element 9, which is beneficial for the stable installation of the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10, and facilitates the effective separation of gas and liquid.
[0036] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, a pipe connector 16 is installed at the bottom of the lower cover plate 92, a fixing ring 15 is fixed on the inner wall of the cylinder 1, and a drain pipe 14 is provided inside the fixing ring 15. The top end of the drain pipe 14 is inserted into the inside of the pipe connector 16.
[0037] When the first filter element 9 separates the gas from the liquid, the liquid inside the first filter element 9 is guided to the bottom of the cylinder 1 through the pipe joint 16 and the drain pipe 14 to avoid the gas and liquid coming into contact and mixing, which further facilitates gas-liquid separation.
[0038] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, regarding how the aforementioned cylinder cover 5 is disassembled, as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, an installation structure 7 is provided between the cylinder cover 5 and the cylinder body 1. The installation structure 7 includes an upper flange ring 71 installed at the bottom of the cylinder cover 5 and a lower flange ring 72 fixed at the top of the cylinder body 1. Fastening bolts 73 are screwed between the upper flange ring 71 and the lower flange ring 72.
[0039] When installing the cover 5, the cover 5 can be placed on top of the cylinder 1. At this time, the upper flange ring 71 and the lower flange ring 72 are connected. Then, the upper flange ring 71 and the lower flange ring 72 are screwed together and fixed by the fastening bolt 73 to install and fix the cover 5 to the cylinder 1. If the cover 5 needs to be disassembled, simply unscrew the fastening bolt 73 and pull the cover 5 upward to disassemble the cover 5 from the cylinder 1, thereby realizing the quick disassembly and assembly of the cover 5, so as to facilitate the disassembly, cleaning or replacement of the first filter element 9 and the second filter element 10.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
