Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of nitrogen replacement technology, and in particular relates to a nitrogen replacement device for air separation engineering. Background Technology

[0002] Air separation engineering refers to the process of separating and refining air to produce inert gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. In air separation engineering, nitrogen purging devices are used to ensure that the air in the equipment and pipelines is completely discharged, thereby avoiding danger in subsequent operations.

[0003] A nitrogen purging device, as disclosed in utility model patent application CN220911102U, includes a purging device body. A charging pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the purging device body, and a nitrogen cylinder is fixedly installed at the end of the charging pipe furthest from the purging device body. A pressure-cutting valve is installed inside the charging pipe. A pressure-relief pipe is fixedly installed on the other side of the purging device body, and a pressure-relief valve is installed inside the pressure-relief pipe. A detection tube is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the purging device body, with a pressure gauge at its upper end. An analysis tube is fixedly installed at the side end of the pressure-relief pipe, with a nitrogen analyzer at its end. A PLC controller is fixedly installed at the end of the detection tube. The PLC controller controls the pressure-cutting valve to pressurize the device. When the pressure reaches the charging pressure, the pressure-relief valve automatically opens; when the pressure reaches the relief pressure, the pressure-relief valve automatically closes. This pressurization and depressurization process is repeated. The nitrogen analyzer analyzes the nitrogen online. When the nitrogen purging indicators are within acceptable limits, the purging operation automatically stops, achieving fully automatic control of the nitrogen purging process. However, in the application of this technical solution, the nitrogen cylinder is connected to the gas filling pipe of the replacement device through flanges and bolts. The disassembly and assembly of the nitrogen cylinder is relatively troublesome, and there is a technical problem that the nitrogen cylinder cannot be easily and quickly disassembled and replaced to make the nitrogen replacement work faster and more efficient.

After the nitrogen cylinder 2 is installed and connected, the pressure relief shut-off valve 6 is controlled by the PLC controller 9 to pressurize the cylinder. The pressure is detected by the pressure gauge 8. When the pressure reaches the pressurization pressure, the pressure relief shut-off valve 6 is automatically closed and the pressure relief shut-off valve 10 is automatically opened to release pressure through the pressure relief pipe 11. When the pressure relief pressure is reached, the pressure relief shut-off valve 10 is automatically closed, and the pressure relief shut-off valve 6 is automatically opened to pressurize the cylinder. The replacement operation is stopped when the nitrogen replacement index is qualified by the nitrogen analyzer 12. The bottom of the internal structure of the pressure relief pipe 11 is equipped with a first check valve 13. The first check valve 13 and the second check valve 17 are used to ensure one-way gas flow.

[0024] As a further implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an assembly sleeve 18 is provided at the bottom of the outer side of the inflation tube 5, an installation screw sleeve 4 is provided at the top of the outer side of the outlet 3, an annular limiting plate 20 is provided at the top of the outlet 3, and an insertion tube 22 is provided at the middle position of the top of the limiting plate 20. The insertion tube 22 is inserted into the bottom of the inner side of the inflation tube 5. An external thread that matches the inner thread of the installation screw sleeve 4 is provided on the outer side of the assembly sleeve 18. The installation screw sleeve 4 is fitted onto the outer side of the assembly sleeve 18. The installation screw sleeve 4 is fixed inside the assembly sleeve 18 by the threaded connection. An annular sealing strip 21 is provided on the outer side of the insertion tube 22 at the top of the limiting plate 20. The limiting plate 20 limits the installation screw sleeve 4.

When performing nitrogen replacement operation, the gas collection bottle 14 is used to collect the gas discharged from the pressure relief tank 1, avoiding the direct release of flammable gas replaced by nitrogen into the working environment to form a flammable mixture with oxygen in the air, thereby preventing internal combustion or explosion, and avoiding the direct release of toxic gas, which would increase the risk of poisoning to workers.

[0027] When performing nitrogen replacement, the fixing sleeve 23 is tightened inside the connecting sleeve 15 through the threaded connection, and the gas collecting bottle 14 can be installed at the bottom end of the pressure relief pipe 11. During the nitrogen replacement operation, the gas collecting bottle 14 is used to collect the gas discharged from the pressure relief tank 1.

[0028] Working principle: When using the nitrogen replacement device, first insert the insertion tube 22 into the inflation tube 5, then use the threaded connection to fix the mounting sleeve 4 inside the assembly sleeve 18, and use the limiting piece 20 to limit the mounting sleeve 4. At the same time, use the annular sealing strip 21 to seal the connection, so that the nitrogen cylinder 2 can be quickly and tightly installed and fixed on the inflation tube 5. Then tighten the fixing sleeve 23 into the connecting sleeve 15 through the threaded connection, and the gas collecting bottle 14 can be installed at the bottom end of the pressure relief pipe 11. After the nitrogen cylinder 2 is installed and connected, the pressure cut-off valve 6 is controlled by the PLC controller 9 to enter. The system is pressurized, and the pressure is detected by the pressure gauge 8. When the pressure reaches the pressurization pressure, the pressurization shut-off valve 6 is automatically closed and the pressure relief shut-off valve 10 is automatically opened. Pressure is released through the pressure relief pipe 11, and the gas released from the replacement tank 1 is collected by the gas collecting bottle 14. When the pressure relief pressure is reached, the pressure relief shut-off valve 10 is automatically closed and the pressurization shut-off valve 6 is automatically opened to pressurize. The replacement operation is stopped when the nitrogen replacement index is qualified by the nitrogen analyzer 12. The first check valve 13 and the second check valve 17 are used to ensure one-way gas flow, so as to carry out a safe and efficient nitrogen replacement operation.
