[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown:

[0025] An oil-water separation device for oil extraction includes a separation tank 101, on which an oil inlet pipe body 102, an oil outlet pipe body 103, and a drainage pipe body 104 are sequentially fixed and connected.

[0026] In this implementation plan: The existing device {Publication (Announcement) No.}: CN208856952U discloses a device for oil-water separation in petroleum extraction. This patent discloses the oil inlet pipe, oil outlet pipe, and water pumping pipe proposed in this application. The main body 102 of the oil inlet pipe, the main body 103 of the oil outlet pipe, and the main body 104 of the drainage pipe in this application adopt the same technical means as in this prior art. These technical means will not be described in detail here. This application further improves the existing main body. For details, please refer to the disclosed technology below. In order to solve the technical problems existing in this prior art, such as the background technology disclosed above, "When the above design is used, although a filter device, an air booster pump, a baffle, a sewage pipe, and an oil outlet pipe are set up, although..." The inclusion of drainage pipes is beneficial for improving the oil-water separation degree and efficiency of the separation device. However, by introducing the oil-water mixture into the oil-water separation tank 101 through the inlet pipes, the lower density oil forms a floating layer on the water surface through a settling method. The oil and water require a long settling time to completely separate, which affects the oil-water separation effect. In terms of practical use, this problem is obviously a real and difficult problem to solve. All electrical equipment involved in this product is powered by an external power source. The solution also includes a control module, which is installed on the separation tank 101. During use, the control module can be used to start the operation of each electrical device. The power connection method of each electrical device is an existing mature technology, which is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] It should be noted that this solution also includes a pressure gauge, an oil / water level gauge, and an air booster pump, which can be used as prior art references (patent publication number: CN208856952U), and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] Furthermore:

[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown:

[0030] Based on the above: the inner cavity of the separator 101 is fixed with a base 106;

[0031] A cover plate 109 is fixed to the top opening of the separator 101;

[0032] A heating coil 105 is mounted on the outside of the separation tank 101 via a bracket, and the heating coil 105 is located between the cover plate 109 and the chassis 106. A heating chamber is set inside the separation tank 101 between the cover plate 109 and the chassis 106.

[0033] A connecting rod 110 is provided on the cover plate 109. A temperature sensor 111 is fixed at the bottom of the connecting rod 110. The temperature sensor 111 is located in the heating chamber. One end of the oil inlet pipe body 102 is connected to the heating chamber of the separator 101.

[0034] A conveying pipe 107 is fixedly connected to the chassis 106, and an electromagnetic control valve 108 is installed on the conveying pipe 107.

[0035] A stirring mechanism 2 is installed on the cover plate 109 to stir the oil and water in its heating chamber. The stirring mechanism 2 includes stirring rods 208 arranged in a ring at equal intervals on the cover plate 109 via bearings and a second gear 207 fixed to the top of the stirring rods 208. The top of the separation tank 101 is rotatably connected to an annular seat 205 via bearings. A second gear disc 206 that meshes with multiple sets of second gears 207 is fixed to the inner side wall of the annular seat 205. A first gear disc 204 is fixed to the outer surface of the annular seat 205. A connecting frame 201 is fixed to the outer surface of the separation tank 101. A motor 202 is fixed to the surface of the connecting frame 201. A first gear 203 that meshes with the first gear disc 204 is fixed to the output end of the motor 202.

[0036] In this implementation plan: When the oil-water separation device for oil extraction is in use, the oil-water mixture is first transported to the separation tank 101 through the main body 102 of the oil inlet pipe and located in the heating chamber. After the mixture enters the heating chamber, the heating coil 105 outside the separation tank 101 starts to work. The heating coil 105 adopts an electric heating method to convert electrical energy into heat energy to heat the oil-water mixture.

[0037] During this process, the motor 202 is started, which drives the first gear 203 to rotate. The first gear 203 meshes with the first gear disk 204, thereby driving the first gear disk 204 to rotate. The first gear disk 204 drives the ring seat 205 to rotate. The second gear disk 206 on the ring seat 205 meshes with multiple sets of second gears 207, thereby driving the second gears 207 to rotate. Through the second gears 207, the stirring rod 208 can rotate to stir the heated oil-water mixture, ensuring uniform heat transfer and avoiding local overheating.

[0038] A temperature sensor 111 is installed inside the heating chamber to monitor the temperature of the oil-water mixture in real time. The temperature sensor 111 is connected to the control module (not shown in the figure) and can automatically adjust the heating power of the heating coil 105 according to the set temperature range to ensure that the oil-water mixture is separated at the optimal temperature. When the temperature sensor 111 detects that the oil-water temperature reaches the set value, the control module commands the electromagnetic control valve 108 to start, thereby releasing the blockage of the delivery pipe 107. At this time, the heated oil-water mixture is discharged to the bottom of the separation tank 101 through the delivery pipe 107. Heating increases the temperature and decreases the viscosity of the oil-water mixture, making it easier for oil droplets to float. At the same time, heating helps to break the oil-water emulsion state and promotes the aggregation of oil droplets, thereby significantly shortening the separation time and improving the separation effect.

[0039] After the heated oil-water mixture is discharged to the bottom of the separator 101, it can be discharged through the oil outlet pipe body 103 and the drainage pipe body 104 respectively, thus completing the oil-water separation operation.

[0040] It should be noted that after the heated oil-water mixture is discharged to the bottom of the separator 101, it can be discharged through the main body of the oil outlet pipe 103 and the main body of the drain pipe 104 respectively. It is used in conjunction with a pressure gauge, an oil-water level gauge and an air booster pump. The specific oil-water separation can be referred to as the existing technology announcement number: CN208856952U. Specific details will not be described in detail.

[0041] It should be noted that the separator 101 is made of stainless steel, and the electromagnetic control valve 108 is equipped with a sealing cover to increase its sealing performance and prevent it from being affected by oil and water.

[0042] Both the heating coil 105 and the temperature sensor 111 can be implemented using conventional techniques.

[0043] Furthermore;

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the stirring mechanism 2 is equipped with a moving mechanism 3 that drives the connecting rod 110 and the temperature sensor 111 to move synchronously. The moving mechanism 3 includes a third gear 301 fixed to the upper surface of the first gear 203 by a connecting pin and a support column 303 that rotates on the cover plate 109 by a bearing. A fourth gear 302 that meshes with the third gear 301 is fixed to the surface of the support column 303. A reciprocating screw 305 is fixed to the top of the support column 303. The other end of the reciprocating screw 305 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 201 by a bearing. A threaded sleeve is threaded on the surface of the reciprocating screw 305, and a mounting base 304 is fixedly fitted on the outer side of the threaded sleeve. One end of the connecting rod 110 is fixed to the surface of the mounting base 304.

[0045] A limiting rod 306 is fixed on the connecting frame 201. The mounting base 304 slides on the surface of the limiting rod 306 through the sliding hole. The cover plate 109 is provided with a moving hole that matches the connecting rod 110. The connecting rod 110 can slide at the moving hole in the cover plate 109.

[0046] In this embodiment: the motor 202 drives the first gear 203 to rotate, and also drives the third gear 301 to rotate. The third gear 301 meshes with the fourth gear 302, thereby driving the fourth gear 302 to rotate. The fourth gear 302 drives the support column 303 to rotate, and the support column 303 drives the reciprocating screw 305 to rotate synchronously. The mounting seat 304 is installed on the reciprocating screw 305 through a threaded sleeve. As the reciprocating screw 305 rotates, the mounting seat 304 moves up and down. At the same time, the mounting seat 304 slides on the limiting rod 306. The setting of the limiting rod 306 increases the stability of the movement of the mounting seat 304. As the mounting seat 304 moves, the connecting rod 110 and the temperature sensor 111 also move up and down, so that the temperature sensor 111 can detect the temperature distribution at different heights in the heating cavity, improve the accuracy of temperature control, and ensure that the temperature in the heating cavity is more stable.

[0047] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using this oil-water separation device for oil extraction, the oil-water mixture is first transported to the separation tank 101 through the main body 102 of the oil inlet pipe and placed inside the heating chamber. After the mixture enters the heating chamber, the heating coil 105 outside the separation tank 101 starts working. The heating coil 105 uses electric heating to convert electrical energy into heat energy to heat the oil-water mixture. During this process, the motor 202 is started, driving the first gear 203 to rotate. The first gear 203 meshes with the first gear disc 204, thereby driving the first gear disc 204 to rotate. The first gear disc 204 drives the annular seat 205 to rotate, while the second gear disc 206 on the annular seat 205 meshes with multiple sets of second gears 207, thereby driving the second gears 207 to rotate. Through the second gears 207, the stirring rod 208 rotates, thus heating the mixture. The oil-water mixture is stirred to ensure uniform heat transfer and avoid local overheating. A temperature sensor 111 is installed in the heating chamber to monitor the temperature of the oil-water mixture in real time. The temperature sensor 111 is connected to the control module (not shown in the figure) and can automatically adjust the heating power of the heating coil 105 according to the set temperature range to ensure that the oil-water mixture is separated at the optimal temperature. When the temperature sensor 111 detects that the oil-water temperature reaches the set value, the control module commands the electromagnetic control valve 108 to start, thereby releasing the blockage of the delivery pipe 107. At this time, the heated oil-water mixture is discharged to the bottom of the separation tank 101 through the delivery pipe 107. Heating increases the temperature and decreases the viscosity of the oil-water mixture, making it easier for oil droplets to float. At the same time, heating helps to break the oil-water emulsion state and promotes oil droplet aggregation, thereby significantly shortening the separation time and improving the separation effect.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
