Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air compressors, and more specifically, to a vapor-water separation device for an air compressor. Background Technology

[0002] A compressor, also known as an air compressor, is a device used to compress gases. Its structure is similar to that of a water pump; it converts the mechanical energy of a prime mover into the pressure energy of a gas. There are many types of air compressors, which can be classified into three main categories based on their working principle: positive displacement compressors, dynamic compressors, and thermal compressors.

[0003] In related technologies, to address the problem that the absorption of moisture from the inner wall of a device via a water-absorbing plate becomes significantly less effective once the plate is saturated, leading to a decline in the device's water absorption efficiency, patent CN218392922U provides a multifunctional air compressor vapor-water separation device. This device, by setting up a separation tank, allows water-containing gas to enter through the air inlet pipe. The motor then rotates the threaded blades on the shaft, generating centrifugal force that throws water vapor from the air onto the inner wall of the separation tank. This solves the problem in existing technologies where the absorption of moisture from the inner wall via a water-absorbing plate becomes significantly less effective once the plate is saturated, resulting in a decline in the device's water absorption efficiency.

[0004] During use, many water molecules, due to their small quantity, cannot condense into droplets and fall off, thus repeatedly suspending in the structure. These suspended water molecules repeatedly combine with or adhere to the structure, undergoing repeated separation. This undoubtedly increases the workload of gas-water separation, resulting in poor work efficiency and unsatisfactory separation effects. How to invent a gas-water separation device for an air compressor to improve these problems has become an urgent issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a steam-water separation device for an air compressor, which aims to improve the problem that suspended water molecules repeatedly combine with gas or adhere to the structure, requiring repeated separation. This undoubtedly increases the workload of steam-water separation, resulting in poor work efficiency and unsatisfactory steam-water separation effect.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] This utility model provides a vapor-water separation device for an air compressor, including a mounting plate and a mounting sleeve mounted on the top of the mounting plate. An air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe are fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting sleeve, respectively. An isolation sleeve is fixedly installed inside the mounting sleeve, and a water vapor separation sleeve is rotatably installed inside the isolation sleeve. A filter screen is fixedly installed inside the isolation sleeve on one side of the water vapor separation sleeve near the air outlet pipe. A rotating gear is rotatably installed on the outer side of the water vapor separation sleeve, and a transmission gear is rotatably installed on the inner side of the mounting sleeve. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed on one side of the transmission gear, and a motor is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting sleeve. The motor and the rotating shaft are connected by a transmission belt.

[0008] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate, and a mounting ring is fixedly installed on the outer side of the mounting sleeve, with the mounting ring and the support frame being fixedly installed together.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the support frame can support the device and maintain a good stability.

[0010] Preferably, reinforcing ribs are fixedly installed between the support frames, and one end of the air intake pipe extends into the interior of the water vapor separation sleeve.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the structural strength can be increased by reinforcing ribs, making it more stable during the support process. At the same time, air can be introduced into the interior of the water vapor separation sleeve through the air inlet pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting sleeve and the isolation sleeve are fixedly installed together by bearing sleeves, and the two sides of the isolation sleeve are connected to the air outlet pipe and the air inlet pipe.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the water vapor separation sleeve installed inside the isolation sleeve can adsorb water in the air, and the rotation of the motor output end can drive the transmission belt to rotate the rotating shaft, so that the transmission gear and the rotating gear mesh with each other.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the isolation sleeve is provided with a water outlet pipe, and a valve is provided on the water outlet pipe.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined shape of the inner side of the isolation sleeve allows water to flow into the interior of the outlet pipe, which can then be easily guided through the outlet pipe.

[0016] Preferably, the filter screen and the isolation sleeve are fixedly installed together by a fixing plate, and the inside of the isolation sleeve is inclined.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined shape of the inner side of the isolation sleeve allows water to flow into the interior of the outlet pipe, which can then be easily drained.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] During use, air is introduced into the isolation sleeve through the air inlet pipe. The water vapor separator installed inside the isolation sleeve adsorbs the water in the air. The rotation of the motor output end causes the transmission belt to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, causing the transmission gear and the rotating gear to mesh with each other, thereby causing the water vapor separator to rotate inside the water vapor separator. During the rotation of the water vapor separator, the air and water inside the water vapor separator undergo centrifugal operation, thereby separating the air and water. The inclined shape of the isolation sleeve allows the water to flow into the water outlet pipe, which can be easily discharged. The support frame can support the device and maintain a good stability.

An air inlet pipe 105 and an air outlet pipe 106 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the mounting sleeve 104, respectively. An isolation sleeve 2 is fixedly mounted inside the mounting sleeve 104. A water vapor separation sleeve 204 is rotatably mounted inside the isolation sleeve 2.

A rotating gear 207 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the water vapor separation sleeve 204. A transmission gear 208 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the mounting sleeve 104. A rotating shaft 209 is fixedly mounted on one side of the transmission gear 208. A motor 210 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting sleeve 104. The motor 210 and the rotating shaft 209 are connected by a transmission belt 211.

[0028] Furthermore, a support frame 101 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 1, and a mounting ring 103 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the mounting sleeve 104. The mounting ring 103 is fixedly installed between the support frame 101 and the support frame 101. A reinforcing rib 102 is fixedly installed between the support frames 101. One end of the air inlet pipe 105 extends into the interior of the water vapor separation sleeve 204.

[0029] It should be noted that: air can be introduced into the interior of the isolation sleeve 2 through the air intake pipe 105, and the water vapor separator 204 installed inside the isolation sleeve 2 can adsorb the water in the air. The rotation of the output end of the motor 210 can drive the drive belt 211 to drive the rotating shaft 209 to rotate, so that the drive gear 208 and the rotating gear 207 mesh with each other, thereby causing the water vapor separator 204 to rotate inside the water vapor separator 204. During the rotation of the water vapor separator 204, the water inside the water vapor separator 204 can be centrifuged.

[0030] Reference Figures 3-4Furthermore, the mounting sleeve 104 and the isolation sleeve 2 are fixedly installed together by the bearing sleeve 201.

The filter screen 206 is fixedly installed together with the isolation sleeve 2 by the fixing plate 205. The inside of the isolation sleeve 2 is inclined.

[0031] It should be noted that during the rotation of the water vapor separation sleeve 204, the water inside the water vapor separation sleeve 204 can be centrifuged, thereby separating the water vapor from the vapor. The inclined shape of the inner side of the isolation sleeve 2 allows the water to flow into the water outlet pipe 202, which can then be easily discharged.

[0032] The working principle of the air compressor vapor-water separation device is as follows: Air is introduced into the interior of the isolation sleeve 2 through the air inlet pipe 105. The water vapor separation sleeve 204 installed inside the isolation sleeve 2 can adsorb the water in the air. The rotation of the output end of the motor 210 can drive the drive belt 211 to drive the rotating shaft 209 to rotate, so that the drive gear 208 and the rotating gear 207 mesh with each other, thereby causing the water vapor separation sleeve 204 to rotate inside the water vapor separation sleeve 204. During the rotation of the water vapor separation sleeve 204, the water inside the water vapor separation sleeve 204 can be centrifuged. The inclined interior of the isolation sleeve 2 allows the water to flow into the interior of the water outlet pipe 202, which can be easily discharged. The support frame 101 can support the device and maintain a good stability.

[0033] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.
