[0027] Working principle:

[0028] Firstly, the water in the hot water tank 7 is heated by the heating wire 15, since the upper part of the rotating part 4 is made of a heat-conducting material, the water in the hot water tank 7 transmits heat to the flow guide groove 5 through the upper part of the rotating part 4, so that the interior of the flow guide groove 5 maintains a suitable temperature, and the bottom part and the middle part are made of heat-insulating materials, which further reduces the heat loss, then the liquid natural gas to be detected is injected into the conveying pipe 8, when the natural gas moves along the conveying pipe 8 to the hot water tank 7, the hot water in the hot water tank 7 heats the liquid natural gas, the temperature of the liquid natural gas is generally-162℃, when the temperature is above-162℃, the temperature rise makes the molecules on the surface of the liquid more easily escape into the gas phase, because the temperature rise increases the kinetic energy of the molecules, so that the molecules can overcome the binding force on the surface of the liquid and enter the gas phase, the liquid natural gas is converted into the gaseous state, and the gravity of the dust and sand particles in the liquid natural gas makes the dust and sand particles sink, so that the dust and sand particles are separated, since the conveying pipe 8 is spiral, the liquid natural gas moves along the spiral track of the conveying pipe 8, and since the moving distance is increased, the purpose of sufficiently heating the liquid natural gas is achieved.

[0029] Then, the natural gas, the dust and the sand particles enter the flow guide groove 5, the rotating part 4 is driven to rotate by the motor 16, the flow guide groove 5 starts to rotate along with the flow guide part, the centrifugal force generated by the rotation makes the natural gas, the dust and the sand particles quickly move to the outer end along the spiral track of the flow guide groove 5, and in the moving process, the four filter screens 602 are sequentially passed through, the four filter screens 602 are used for filtering the dust and the sand particles, since the pore diameters of the four filter screens 602 are gradually reduced, the larger particles are blocked by the filter screens 602 in advance and stay at the filter screens 602, so as to reduce the filtering burden of the next layer of filter screens 602, and prevent the dust and the sand particles from being accumulated together to cause large-area blockage.

[0030] Then, the rotating component 4 drives the filtering assembly 6 to move in a circle during the rotation, and then drives the horizontal plate 9 and the convex block 10 to move in a circle, the convex block 10 moves and sequentially presses the plurality of arc blocks 12, the position of the arc block 12 is unchanged, the convex block 10 drives the horizontal plate 9 to rise, and then drives the filtering assembly 6 to rise, at this time, the two springs 13 start to store the force, when the convex block 10 moves to the position away from the arc block 12, the elastic force of the two springs 13 makes the filtering assembly 6 reset, the purpose of the reciprocating lifting of the filtering assembly 6 is achieved, with the periodic rotation of the rotating assembly, the filtering assembly 6 vibrates during the working process, the dust and sand on the surface of the filter screen 602 are shaken off, the filter screen 602 is prevented from being blocked, so that the situation that the detection efficiency is low due to the blockage of the filter screen 602 is prevented, the filtering assembly 6 can be disassembled by removing the two springs 13, the baffle 142 is removed, and the dropped impurities are thrown out by the rotation of the rotating component 4.
