[0003] Conventional water content analyzers typically use a method where the measuring sensor is directly inserted into flowing crude oil for dynamic measurement. However, flowing crude oil has problems such as unstable flow patterns, large variations in gas content, and many impurities, which can lead to significant measurement errors.
[0004] Currently, there are online-non-real-time static moisture analyzers on the market, but they have some drawbacks: complex structure, large size, high cost, which limits their large-scale installation and use. Utility Model Content

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an improved casing-type static crude oil water content analyzer includes a bypass pipe 1, with an outlet pipe 2 and an inlet pipe 3 respectively installed at the upper and lower sections. A measuring pipe 4 is coaxially installed inside the bypass pipe 1, and a measuring probe 5 is coaxially installed inside the measuring pipe 4. The bypass pipe 1 and the measuring probe 5 are connected and fixed by an upper flange and a lower flange of the casing, respectively. The internal space of the bypass pipe 1 is divided into an outer cavity and an inner cavity by the measuring pipe 4. The inlet pipe 3 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the outer wall of the bypass pipe 1, and the outlet pipe 2 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the outer wall of the bypass pipe 1, below the opening at the upper end of the measuring pipe 4. A drive assembly 6 is installed on one side of the bypass pipe 1. The linkage mechanism of the drive assembly 6 passes through the bypass pipe 1 and is connected and fixed to the measuring pipe 4. The drive assembly 6 drives the measuring pipe 4 to move up and down, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the measuring pipe 4.
[0029] like Figure 6 As shown, a circular baffle 41 is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the measuring pipe 4. The up-and-down movement of the circular baffle 41 is used to control the flow direction of the liquid inside the sleeve. Two semi-circular baffles 42 are respectively provided in the upper middle part of the outer wall of the measuring pipe 4 to prevent the liquid in the bypass pipe 1 from flowing into the upper end of the measuring pipe 4. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 , 5 As shown, when the drive assembly 6 moves the measuring pipe 4 upward, the annular baffle 41 at the bottom of the outer wall of the measuring pipe 4 moves upward and abuts against the inner wall of the bypass pipe 1, thereby opening the measuring pipe 4. At this time, the liquid in the inlet pipe 3 passes through the inside (inner cavity) of the measuring pipe 4. When the drive assembly 6 moves the measuring pipe 4 downward, the sealing ring 72 on the lower side of the annular baffle 41 at the bottom of the measuring pipe 4 moves downward and abuts against the metal sealing block 73 provided on the sleeve base 7, thereby closing the measuring pipe 4 and opening the bypass pipe 1. At this time, the liquid in the inlet pipe 3 passes through the inside (outer cavity) of the bypass pipe 1.
[0030] Furthermore, the lower flange of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the sleeve base 7, and a sealing gasket is provided between the lower flange and the sleeve base 7. The sleeve base 7 is provided with a baffle 71 and a metal sealing block 73 from the inside out. The baffle 71 is located outside the measuring probe 5 at the liquid inlet of the inlet pipe 3. The baffle 71 is designed to prevent the liquid inside the pipe from directly impacting the measuring probe 5, thereby improving the service life of the measuring probe 5. The metal sealing block 73 is sealed by compression with the sealing ring 72 on the lower side of the annular baffle 41 at the bottom of the measuring pipe 4 through a double trapezoidal tooth structure. A positioning post 74 is provided on the metal sealing block 73 to prevent the measuring pipe 4 from rotating due to the impact of the liquid entering the inlet pipe 3.
[0031] Furthermore, the measuring probe is equipped with a positioning post 74 to ensure the concentricity of the measuring pipe as it moves up and down.
[0032] The lower flange of the sleeve is provided with an inner cavity sampling tube 8, and the sealing ring 72 has a channel for connecting the inner cavity and the inner cavity sampling tube 8; the upper flange of the sleeve is provided with a pressure balancing pipe as a pressure relief port.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly 6 includes a housing 61, a motor 62, a lead screw 63, a push rod 64, a connecting rod 65, a connecting rod sealing seat 66, and a connecting rod connecting seat 67. The rotating shaft of the motor 62, located above the housing 61, is fixedly connected to the vertically arranged lead screw 63. The push rod 64 is screwed to the outside of the lead screw 63, and the connecting rod 65 is fixed to the push rod 64. The connecting rod 65 passes through the connecting rod sealing seat 66 and is then connected and fixed to the connecting rod connecting seat 67. The connecting rod connecting seat 67 passes through the bypass pipe 1 and is connected and fixed to the measuring pipe 4. The operation of the motor 62 drives its rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 63 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 63 causes the push rod 64 to move up and down, thereby causing the connecting rod 65 to move up and down. The connecting rod 65 drives the connecting rod connecting seat 67, which in turn drives the measuring pipe 4. This series of linkages allows the measuring pipe 4 to move up or down, thus realizing the opening and closing of the measuring pipe 4.
[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, a sealing cavity 68 is provided inside the housing 61 near the side wall of the bypass pipe 1, and an axial threaded hole is provided at the lower end of the sealing cavity 68. The connecting rod sealing seat 66 is screwed and fixed in the threaded hole, and the part of the connecting rod 65 passing upward through the connecting rod sealing seat 66 and the connecting rod connecting seat 67 are located in the sealing cavity 68. A multi-stage sealing ring is provided between the connecting rod sealing seat 66 and the connecting rod 65. Liquid in the pipe can enter the sealing cavity 68, but cannot enter the connecting rod sealing seat 66 and its lower part, that is, cannot enter the part outside the sealing cavity 68 inside the housing 61, thereby ensuring that the main drive structure of the drive assembly 6 is not wetted and corroded by liquid, realizing the safe operation of the drive assembly 6 and extending its service life.
[0035] To further improve the precision of the drive assembly 6, a linear bearing 69 is provided between the connecting rod seal 66 and the connecting rod 65. The linear bearing 69 is connected and fixed by a bearing fixing tube 610, which is connected to the connecting rod seal 66.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the equipment is powered on and the start-up time is reached, the remote control motor 62 drives each component to work, thereby moving the measuring pipe 4 upward, opening the measuring pipe 4, closing the bypass pipe 1, and allowing the liquid inside the pipe to pass through the measuring pipe 4; after a period of time, the motor 62 drives each component to move the measuring pipe 4 downward, opening the bypass pipe 1, closing the measuring pipe 4, and allowing the liquid inside the pipe to pass through the bypass pipe 1. At this time, the liquid in the measuring pipe 4 is intercepted and sampled, and the moisture content is measured and analyzed by the measuring probe 5 inside the measuring pipe 4; when the measurement time set by the remote control is reached, the motor 62 is controlled again to drive each component to operate, opening the measuring pipe 4, allowing the liquid inside the pipe to pass through the measuring pipe 4, carrying away the liquid intercepted and retained in the pipe last time, and entering the next sampling and measurement cycle.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
