Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cyclone sand separators, specifically to an anti-clogging structure for cyclone sand separators. Background Technology
[0002] A cyclone separator is a device used to remove solid impurities such as sand particles from fluids. It typically consists of a cylinder, inlet, outlet, sand discharge port, and internal cyclone components. It does not have a complex mechanical transmission device, making it easy to manufacture, install, and maintain. Based on the principle of centrifugal sedimentation, it has a high separation efficiency for solid impurities such as sand particles and can effectively reduce the sand content in fluids. Compared with other sand removal equipment, it is relatively small in size and occupies less installation space for the same processing capacity, making it suitable for places with limited space. During operation, there is no direct friction between moving parts and the fluid, resulting in stable operation, low failure rate, long service life, and almost no maintenance required.
[0003] In some existing cyclone sand separators, when water enters the cyclone under a certain pressure, it generates a strong rotational motion. Due to the different densities of sand and water, under the combined action of centrifugal force, centripetal force, buoyancy and fluid drag, the denser sand particles are thrown towards the edge of the cyclone and move downwards, eventually being discharged from the discharge port of the sand discharge cylinder, while the less dense water rises and is discharged from the outlet pipe, thereby achieving the purpose of sand removal.
[0004] Existing cyclone sand separators have the following problems: when using a cyclone sand separator, the sand discharge port is blocked by sand and gravel, and the sand discharge port is not smooth. It is necessary for personnel to use hooks from the outside to help clear the sand discharge port, which is not convenient to use. Therefore, we propose an anti-clogging structure for cyclone sand separators. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide an anti-clogging structure for a cyclone sand separator. When using the cyclone sand separator, the spiral blades rotate and swing up and down, which makes the sand and gravel discharge faster and prevents the sand discharge port from being blocked by sand and gravel. No personnel are needed to assist in unblocking the sand discharge port, making it more convenient to use and effectively solving the problems in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an anti-clogging structure for a cyclone separator, including a cyclone cylinder, a sand settling cylinder at the lower end of the cyclone cylinder, a sand discharge cylinder at the lower end of the sand settling cylinder, a support on the lower side of the outer wall of the cyclone cylinder, and an anti-clogging mechanism.
[0007] Anti-clogging mechanism: It includes a rotating column, a rotating sleeve, spiral blades, a retaining ring, and a circular cover. A cross support frame is provided on the lower inner wall of the sand discharge cylinder. The rotating column is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the middle part of the cross support frame. The ribs on the outer wall of the rotating column are slidably connected to the rib grooves on the inner wall of the rotating sleeve. Spiral blades are fixedly fitted on the outside of the rotating sleeve. A retaining ring is provided at the upper edge of the rotating sleeve. A circular cover is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating column. The outer wall of the retaining ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular cover. When using the cyclone sand separator, the spiral blades rotate and swing up and down, making the sand discharge speed faster and preventing the sand discharge port from being blocked by sand. No personnel are needed to assist in clearing the sand discharge port, making it more convenient to use.
[0008] Furthermore, a control switch is provided on the outside of the cyclone drum, and the input end of the control switch is electrically connected to an external power source to provide electrical connection.
[0009] Furthermore, the anti-clogging mechanism also includes a spring, and a spring is sleeved on the outside of a portion of the rotating column between the upper end of the retaining ring and the top wall of the circular cover to facilitate rebound.
[0010] Furthermore, the anti-clogging mechanism also includes a drive assembly, which includes support rods, rollers, and a wave table. The lower edge of the rotating sleeve is fixedly connected with evenly distributed support rods, and the outer ends of the support rods are rotatably connected with rollers. A wave table is provided on the lower side of the inner wall of the sedimentation cylinder, and the outer surfaces of the rollers are slidably connected to the upper surface of the wave table to provide up-and-down swing connection.
[0011] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a rotating shaft, a first bevel gear, and a second bevel gear. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the front end of the cross support frame, the first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating shaft, and the second bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the lower end of the rotating column. The first bevel gear and the second bevel gear mesh with each other to provide a rotatable connection.
[0012] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a motor, a support frame is provided on the outer wall of the sedimentation cylinder, a motor is provided at the front end of the support frame, the rear end of the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating shaft, and the input end of the motor is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch to provide rotation drive.
[0013] Furthermore, the vortex tube is provided with an outlet pipe at its outlet and an inlet pipe at its inlet on the outer wall of the vortex tube to facilitate drainage.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the anti-clogging structure of this cyclone sand separator has the following advantages:
[0015] Driven by a motor, the rotating shaft causes bevel gear one and meshing bevel gear two to rotate the rotating column. The rotating column, through a rotating sleeve, drives the spiral blades to rotate and discharge the sand inside the sand discharge cylinder. When the rotating sleeve rotates, it drives the roller to slide on the upper end of the wave table through the support rod, thereby causing the rotating sleeve to drive the spiral blades to move upward outside the rotating column. The rotating sleeve will then move downward under the rebound action of the retaining ring, spring, and circular cover, causing the rotating sleeve to drive the spiral blades to rotate while swinging up and down, thus discharging the sand inside the sand discharge cylinder and preventing blockage. When using a cyclone sand separator, the rotation and up-and-down swinging of the spiral blades makes the sand discharge speed faster and prevents the sand discharge port from being blocked by sand. No personnel are needed to assist in clearing the sand discharge port, making it more convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The working principle of the anti-clogging structure of the cyclone sand separator provided by this utility model is as follows: When using the cyclone sand separator, when water flows tangentially into the cyclone cylinder 1 from the air outlet under a certain pressure, it will generate a strong rotational motion. Due to the different densities of sand and water, under the combined action of centrifugal force, centripetal force, buoyancy, and fluid drag, the denser sand particles are thrown towards the edge of the cyclone cylinder 1 and move downwards, and are finally discharged from the drain outlet of the sand discharge cylinder 3, while the less dense water rises and is discharged from the water outlet pipe 5, thereby achieving the purpose of sand removal. In order to prevent the sand discharge cylinder 3 from clogging, the motor 911 is operated by adjusting the control switch 7. The output shaft of the motor 911 drives the rotating shaft 912 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 912 will drive the first bevel gear 913 to rotate. The rotation of the first bevel gear 913 will drive the rotating column 92 to rotate through the meshing second bevel gear 914. Rotation of 92 will drive rotation of rotating sleeve 93, which in turn will drive rotation of spiral blade 94. Rotation of spiral blade 94 will cause sand inside the sand discharge cylinder 3 to be discharged outward. Then, when rotating sleeve 93 rotates, it will drive roller 916 to slide on the upper end of wave table 917 via support rod 915. When roller 916 contacts the top of wave table 917, it will drive rotating sleeve 93 to move upward outside of rotating column 92 via support rod 915, thereby driving spiral blade 94 to move upward. When roller 916 contacts the bottom of wave table 917, rotating sleeve 93 will move downward under the rebound action of retaining ring 95, spring 97 and circular cover 96, thereby causing rotating sleeve 93 to drive spiral blade 94 to rotate while swinging up and down, thereby causing sand inside sand discharge cylinder 3 to be discharged outward and preventing blockage.
