AI Technical Summary
Existing gas-water separators are not convenient for use in combination with multiple units for gas-water separation, nor are they convenient for individual units to be shut down for maintenance. Excessive gas flow rate can easily lead to incomplete gas-water separation, affecting the separation quality of vertical gas-water separators used in water treatment.
The design includes components such as a frame, main distribution pipe, branch distribution pipes, control valves, separator body, air pump, cyclone reversing pipe, spiral guide vanes, and automatic drain valve. The air pump delivers gas to the main distribution pipe and distributes it to multiple branch distribution pipes. Gas-water separation is achieved using the cyclone reversing pipe and spiral guide vanes. The gas flow rate is adjusted by controlling the rotation of the valve plate via a servo motor, enabling multiple independent shutdowns for maintenance and efficient separation.
Independent shutdown and maintenance of multiple gas-water separators has been achieved, preventing incomplete separation due to excessively high gas flow rates and improving the separation quality of vertical gas-water separators used in water treatment.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas-water separator technology, specifically a vertical gas-water separator for water treatment. Background Technology
[0002] A gas-liquid separator is a device used to separate gaseous and liquid components in a liquid mixture. It is widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical, and food processing. Its main function is to effectively separate gas and liquid, allowing each phase to be processed or recycled separately. Its working principle is as follows: Steam and compressed air enter the separator and move downwards at an angle due to the centrifugal force of the neutral vortex. Due to the difference in density between gas and liquid, the liquid is filtered onto the filter, while the gas can pass through. When steam enters the vortex cylinder through the inlet pipe, the airflow changes from linear motion to circular motion. Most of the rotating airflow spirals downwards along the cylinder wall towards the cone, which is the external vortex. During the rotation, the steam generates centrifugal force, throwing denser liquid droplets toward the cylinder wall. Once the droplets come into contact with the cylinder wall, they lose inertial force and fall along the wall due to the momentum of the inlet velocity and downward gravity, entering the underflow port.
[0003] As disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN222033968U, a vertical air-water separator for water treatment relates to the field of water treatment technology. It includes a lower cylinder and an upper cylinder. A lower connecting plate is fixedly installed at the top of the lower cylinder. An upper connecting plate is movably connected to the top surface of the lower connecting plate. An upper cylinder is fixedly installed on the top surface of the upper connecting plate. An input pipe and an air outlet pipe are respectively installed on the top two sides of the upper cylinder. An air-water separation mechanism is provided inside the upper and lower cylinders.
[0004] Although it achieves the connection between the lower cylinder and the upper cylinder in the vertical air-water separator for water treatment through the lower connecting plate and the upper connecting plate, and then uses the connecting mechanism to realize the positioning connection between the lower cylinder and the upper cylinder, the setting of the connecting mechanism also facilitates the separation of the lower cylinder and the upper cylinder to realize convenient internal cleaning work. The air-water separation mechanism set inside the lower cylinder and the upper cylinder can perform spiral flow and separation of air-water mixture, improving separation efficiency and effect;
[0005] However, this does not solve the problem that existing gas-water separators of this type are generally not suitable for multi-unit gas-water separation, are not convenient for independent shutdown and maintenance of each unit, and the excessively fast gas flow rate can easily lead to incomplete gas-water separation, which greatly affects the quality of gas-water separation in vertical gas-water separators used for water treatment.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vertical air-water separator for water treatment, comprising a frame and a main distribution pipe. The main distribution pipe is installed at the top of the frame. Multiple branch distribution pipes are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the main distribution pipe. A mechanical valve is installed at the end of each branch distribution pipe away from the main distribution pipe. A control valve is installed at the end of each mechanical valve away from the branch distribution pipe. A base is installed at the top of the frame on the side of the control valve. A separator body is installed at the top of each base. An air inlet pipe is installed on the outer wall of the separator body on the side of the control valve and is connected to the control valve. A staircase is installed at the top of the frame away from the main distribution pipe. An exhaust fan is installed on the outer wall of the frame on the side of the staircase. An air duct is installed on the outer wall of the exhaust fan and extends into the interior of the main distribution pipe.
[0008] Preferably, a reversing plate is installed inside the separator body, a swirling reversing tube is installed at the center of the reversing plate, and the swirling reversing tube extends into the interior of the separator body. A spiral guide vane is fitted on the outer wall of the swirling reversing tube.
[0009] Preferably, a liquid guide pipe is installed at the bottom end of the reversing plate, and the liquid guide pipe extends to the bottom of the separator body. An automatic drain valve is installed at the bottom end of the separator body. A liquid distribution plate is installed inside the separator body above the automatic drain valve. A liquid outlet pipe is installed on the outer wall of the separator body on one side of the reversing plate. A waste liquid pipe is installed at the bottom end of the automatic drain valve.
[0010] Preferably, a center plate is installed at the center of the control valve, and a cross is installed on the outer wall of the center plate, extending to the inner wall of the control valve.

[0012] Preferably, a valve plate is installed on the outer wall of the valve shaft on one side of the movable sleeve, a positioning sleeve is movably fitted on the outer wall of the valve shaft on one side of the control valve, and the positioning sleeve is connected to the control valve, and an annular ring is fitted on the outer wall of the control valve.

[0014] Preferably, a rocker arm is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of each valve shaft, and a connecting shaft is installed at the end of each rocker arm near the annular ring, and the rocker arm is connected to the annular ring through the connecting shaft.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the gas-water separator not only realizes the multi-group coordinated use of vertical gas-water separators for water treatment, which facilitates the independent shutdown and maintenance of each group, and prevents incomplete gas-water separation caused by excessive gas flow rate, but also improves the quality of gas-water separation of vertical gas-water separators for water treatment.
[0016] (1) The gas generated by water treatment is transported to the inside of the air duct by the air pump, then to the inside of the main branch pipe, and then to the inside of the multi-group branch pipe. The gas is then transported to the inside of the separator body by the control valve through the air inlet pipe for gas-water separation. The gas is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe and the liquid is discharged through the waste liquid pipe. When a set of separator bodies needs to be shut down for maintenance, the mechanical valve corresponding to the set of separator bodies is closed to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the separator body. The other separator bodies operate normally to prevent the entire set from shutting down and affecting the operation. This realizes the multi-group coordinated gas-water separation of vertical gas-water separators for water treatment, which facilitates the independent shutdown and maintenance of each set and avoids the impact of the entire set of vertical gas-water separators for water treatment on the operation.
[0017] (2) Gas and water enter the interior of the separator body. With the cooperation of the spiral guide plate, a large amount of water-containing steam moves downward in a swirling manner. Due to the decrease in speed, the water entrained in the swirling gas is separated and collected on the inner wall of the separator body under the action of centrifugal force. With the cooperation of the liquid separator plate, the water generated by the reversing plate flows into the bottom of the separator body through the liquid guide pipe. The separated water is collected and flows into the bottom of the separator body. It is discharged through the automatic drain valve and waste liquid pipe. Dry and clean steam is discharged from the liquid outlet pipe. This realizes the efficient gas-water separation of the vertical gas-water separator for water treatment, which facilitates the independent discharge of gas and water.
[0018] (3) The servo motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft drives the valve shaft to rotate, the positioning sleeve provides movable support for the valve shaft, the control valve supports the center plate through the cross, the center plate supports the valve plate through the movable sleeve, the valve shaft drives the valve plate to rotate, the valve shaft drives the rocker arm to move, the rocker arm drives the ring to move through the connecting shaft, and under the transmission of the ring, it drives multiple sets of valve plates to rotate, so as to facilitate the adjustment and control of the flow of the control valve, and to facilitate the control of the gas flow rate. This realizes the convenient control of the gas flow rate of the vertical gas-water separator for water treatment, prevents the gas flow rate from being too fast and causing incomplete gas-water separation, and improves the gas-water separation quality of the vertical gas-water separator for water treatment.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0032] Please see Figure 1-11 An embodiment of this utility model provides: a vertical air-water separator for water treatment, including a frame 1 and a main branch pipe 5. The main branch pipe 5 is installed at the top of the frame 1. Multiple branch pipes 6 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the main branch pipe 5. Mechanical valves 7 are installed at the ends of the branch pipes 6 away from the main branch pipe 5.

An air duct 4 is installed on the outer wall of the exhaust fan 3 and extends into the interior of the main branch pipe 5.
[0033] The gas generated by water treatment is transported to the interior of the air duct 4 by the air pump 3, then to the interior of the main distribution pipe 5, and finally to the interior of the multi-group branch pipes 6 by the main distribution pipe 5. The gas is then transported to the interior of the separator body 10 through the air inlet pipe 9 by the control valve 8 for gas-water separation. The gas is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 16, and the liquid is discharged through the waste liquid pipe 17. When one group of separator bodies 10 needs to be shut down for maintenance, the mechanical valve 7 corresponding to that group of separator bodies 10 is closed to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the separator body 10. The remaining separator bodies 10 operate normally to prevent the operation from being affected by a complete shutdown. This realizes the multi-group coordinated gas-water separation of vertical gas-water separators for water treatment, which facilitates the independent shutdown and maintenance of each group and avoids the operation being affected by a complete shutdown of vertical gas-water separators for water treatment.

A liquid outlet pipe 16 is installed on the outer wall of the separator body 10 on one side of the reversing plate 15. A waste liquid pipe 17 is installed at the bottom end of the automatic drain valve 19.
[0036] Gas and water enter the interior of the separator body 10. With the cooperation of the spiral guide plate 14, a large amount of water-containing steam moves downward in a swirling, inclined manner. Due to the decrease in speed, the water entrained in the swirling gas is separated and collected on the inner wall of the separator body 10 under the action of centrifugal force. With the cooperation of the liquid separating plate 12 and the swirling reversing pipe 13, the water generated by the reversing plate 15 flows into the bottom of the separator body 10 through the liquid guiding pipe 18. The separated water is collected and flows into the bottom of the separator body 10, and is discharged through the automatic drain valve 19 and the waste liquid pipe 17. Dry and clean steam is discharged from the liquid outlet pipe 16. This realizes efficient gas-water separation in the vertical gas-water separator for water treatment, and facilitates the independent discharge of gas and water.
[0037] A center plate 30 is installed at the center of the control valve 8, and a cross 31 is installed on the outer wall of the center plate 30, extending to the inner wall of the control valve 8.
[0038] Multiple sets of movable sleeves 29 with equal spacing are installed on the outer wall of the center plate 30. A valve shaft 26 is movably installed on the end of each movable sleeve 29 away from the center plate 30, and the valve shaft 26 extends to the outside of the control valve 8.
[0039] A valve plate 28 is installed on the outer wall of the valve shaft 26 on one side of the movable sleeve 29. A positioning sleeve 27 is movably fitted on the outer wall of the valve shaft 26 on one side of the control valve 8, and the positioning sleeve 27 is connected to the control valve 8.

A rotating shaft 23 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 24, and the rotating shaft 23 is connected to the valve shaft 26.
[0041] A rocker arm 22 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the valve shaft 26. A connecting shaft 21 is installed at the end of the rocker arm 22 near the annular ring 20, and the rocker arm 22 is connected to the annular ring 20 through the connecting shaft 21.
[0042] By activating the servo motor 24, supported by the positioning frame 25, the servo motor 24 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the valve shaft 26 to rotate. The positioning sleeve 27 provides movable support for the valve shaft 26. The control valve 8 is supported by the cross 31 on the center plate 30, which in turn supports the valve plate 28 via the movable sleeve 29. The valve shaft 26 drives the valve plate 28 to rotate, which in turn drives the rocker arm 22 to move. The rocker arm 22 drives the annular ring 20 to move via the connecting shaft 21.

This enables convenient control of the gas flow rate in the vertical gas-water separator for water treatment, preventing incomplete gas-water separation due to excessively high gas flow rate and improving the quality of gas-water separation in the vertical gas-water separator for water treatment.
[0043] In this embodiment, during use: An external power supply is connected. First, the gas generated from water treatment is transported to the interior of the duct 4 via the air pump 3. From the duct 4, it is transported to the interior of the main distribution pipe 5. From the main distribution pipe 5, it is transported to the interior of the multi-component branch pipes 6. The control valve 8 then transports the gas through the inlet pipe 9 to the interior of the separator body 10 for gas-water separation. The gas is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 16, and the liquid is discharged through the waste liquid pipe 17. When one set of separator bodies 10 needs to be shut down for maintenance, the mechanical valve 7 corresponding to that set of separator bodies 10 is closed to facilitate maintenance. The remaining separator bodies 10 operate normally to prevent a complete shutdown from affecting operation. Then, gas and water enter the interior of the separator body 10. With the cooperation of the spiral guide vanes 14, a large amount of water-containing steam moves downwards in a swirling, inclined motion. The water entrained in the swirling gas, due to its reduced speed, is further dispersed by centrifugal force. Under the action of the separator, the water is separated and gathers on the inner wall of the separator body 10. With the cooperation of the liquid separating plate 12 and the cyclone reversing pipe 13, the water generated by the reversing plate 15 flows into the bottom of the separator body 10 through the liquid guide pipe 18. The separated water is collected and flows into the bottom of the separator body 10, and is discharged through the automatic drain valve 19 and the waste liquid pipe 17. Dry and clean steam is discharged from the liquid outlet pipe 16. The servo motor 24 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 23 drives the valve shaft 26 to rotate. The center plate 30 supports the valve plate 28 through the movable sleeve 29. The valve shaft 26 drives the valve plate 28 to rotate and drives the rocker arm 22 to move. The rocker arm 22 drives the ring ring 20 to move through the connecting shaft 21. Under the transmission of the ring ring 20, multiple sets of valve plates 28 are driven to rotate, so as to facilitate the adjustment and control of the flow rate of the control valve 8 and the control of the gas flow rate, thereby completing the operation of the gas-water separator.
