[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides a high-efficiency filtration gas-liquid separation device for wellhead natural gas recovery, comprising:

[0031] Separation box 1 is equipped with a cleaning and replacement mechanism. It should be noted that the cleaning and replacement mechanism allows for quick and easy removal and cleaning of filter plate 3, as well as quick and easy replacement of molecular sieve adsorbent, ensuring the efficiency of natural gas recovery.

[0032] The cleaning and replacement mechanism includes a filter frame 2, a molecular sieve adsorbent container 4, an addition hopper 7, a discharge hopper 8, a rotating plate 10, a rotating plate 2 11, a positioning block 13, a top plate 14, and fixing screws 15.

[0033] The filter frame 2 is snapped into the separation box 1, and the molecular sieve adsorbent container 4 is fixedly installed inside the separation box 1. It should be noted that the molecular sieve adsorbent container 4 contains molecular sieve adsorbent. The commonly used molecular sieve is a synthetic zeolite, which is an aluminosilicate crystal composed of SiO4 and AlO4 tetrahedra. The molecular sieve adsorbent has many neatly arranged, uniformly sized channels that are interconnected by pores. The pore size is similar to that of molecules. Molecular sieves have high adsorption performance and can reduce the moisture content in the dried gas to below 1 ppm.

[0034] Addition hopper 7 and discharge hopper 8 are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of molecular sieve adsorbent container 4, respectively. Rotating plate 10 and rotating plate 21 abut against discharge hopper 8 and addition hopper 7, respectively. The bottom of filter frame 2 is fixedly connected to positioning block 13. Positioning block 13 is engaged with rotating plate 10. Top plate 14 is fixedly installed on the top of filter frame 2. Top plate 14 is fixedly installed on the top of separation box 1 by fixing screws 15.

[0035] Using the cleaning and replacement mechanism described above, rotate the fixing screw 15 and then pull the top plate 14 to remove the filter frame 2. This facilitates cleaning the filter plate 3 inside the filter frame 2 and allows the top plate 14 to separate from the rotating plate 11. The positioning block 13 is moved away from the rotating plate 10, thus allowing the limiting of the rotating plate 10 and the rotating plate 11 to be engaged. At this time, the rotating plates 10 and 11 can be rotated to allow the molecular sieve adsorbent in the molecular sieve adsorbent container 4 to be discharged from the discharge hopper 8. Then, rotate the rotating plate 10 back to its original position so that the sealing gasket 12 on the rotating plate 10 seals and abuts against the discharge hopper 8. Next, add the molecular sieve adsorbent into the molecular sieve adsorbent container 4 through the adding hopper 7. After adding, rotate the rotating plate 11 to move it back to its original position and assemble the filter frame 2 onto the separation box 1.

[0036] Specifically, the cleaning and replacement mechanism also includes filter plate 3, air inlet pipe 5 and attachment cover 6. Filter plate 3 is fixedly installed inside filter frame 2. Air inlet pipe 5 is fixedly installed between molecular sieve adsorbent container 4 and attachment cover 6. Attachment cover 6 is sealed and abuts against filter frame 2. It should be noted that sealing can be ensured by embedding a sealing gasket.

[0037] Rotating plates 10 and 11 are both fixedly equipped with rotating shafts 9. Rotating plate 10 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the separation box 1 via rotating shaft 9, and rotating plate 11 is rotatably mounted on the top of the separation box 1 via rotating shaft 9. The side of rotating plate 11 abuts against the top plate 14.

[0038] Through the aforementioned cleaning and replacement mechanism, the filter plate 3 can filter impurities in the natural gas. The filtered natural gas enters the molecular sieve adsorbent container 4 through the attachment cover 6 and the inlet pipe 5. The molecular sieve adsorbent in the molecular sieve adsorbent container 4 removes moisture from the natural gas and finally discharges it through the wellhead natural gas outlet pipe 17.

[0039] Specifically, a wellhead natural gas inlet pipe 16 is fixedly installed on the separation box 1, and a wellhead natural gas outlet pipe 17 is fixedly installed on the molecular sieve adsorbent container 4. The wellhead natural gas outlet pipe 17 is fixedly installed on the separation box 1 to facilitate the addition and discharge of natural gas.

[0040] Specifically, the top and bottom of the separation box 1 are provided with round holes 19, and the adding hopper 7 and the discharging hopper 8 are respectively located in the corresponding round holes 19. The rotating plate 10 and the rotating plate 2 are respectively fixedly provided with sealing gaskets 12, and the two sealing gaskets 12 are respectively sealed and abutted against the adding hopper 7 and the discharging hopper 8. It should be noted that the adding hopper 7 and the discharging hopper 8 can be sealed.

[0041] Specifically, the top of the separation box 1 has a rectangular hole 18, and the filter frame 2 is engaged with the rectangular hole 18. The bottom of the separation box 1 has a bottom hole, and the positioning block 13 is engaged with the bottom hole. The top of the rotating plate 10 has a positioning hole, and the positioning block 13 is engaged with the positioning hole. A sealing gasket 1 is embedded in the rectangular hole 18, and the filter frame 2 is in sealed contact with the sealing gasket 1. A sealing gasket 2 is embedded in the bottom hole, and the positioning block 13 is in sealed contact with the sealing gasket 2. It should be noted that this ensures the sealing of the contact points.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] S1: Natural gas is added through the natural gas inlet pipe 16 at the wellhead. The filter plate 3 can filter impurities in the natural gas. The filtered natural gas enters the molecular sieve adsorbent container 4 through the attached cover 6 and the inlet pipe 5. The molecular sieve adsorbent in the molecular sieve adsorbent container 4 removes the moisture in the natural gas and finally discharges it through the natural gas outlet pipe 17 at the wellhead.

[0044] S2: When it is necessary to clean the filter plate 3 and replace the molecular sieve adsorbent, turn the fixing screw 15 to remove it, then pull the top plate 14. The top plate 14 moves the filter frame 2 upward, and the filter frame 2 moves the positioning block 13 upward, allowing the filter frame 2 to be removed. This facilitates the cleaning of the filter plate 3 inside the filter frame 2 and allows the top plate 14 to separate from the rotating plate 11. The positioning block 13 moves away from the rotating plate 10, thus allowing contact with the rotating plate. The first plate 10 and the second plate 11 are limited. At this time, the first plate 10 and the second plate 11 can be rotated so that the molecular sieve adsorbent in the molecular sieve adsorbent container 4 is discharged from the discharge hopper 8. Then, the first plate 10 is rotated back to its original position so that the sealing gasket 12 on the first plate 10 seals and abuts against the discharge hopper 8. Then, the molecular sieve adsorbent is added into the molecular sieve adsorbent container 4 through the addition hopper 7. After the addition is completed, the second plate 11 is rotated to move the second plate 11 back to its original position.

[0045] S3: Insert the filter frame 2 into the separation box 1, so that the top plate 14 abuts against the rotating plate 11. The positioning block 13 is inserted into the rotating plate 10, so that the rotating plate 10 and the rotating plate 11 can be rotated. Finally, turn the fixing screw 15 to fix the top plate 14 to the top of the separation box 1. This makes it easy to quickly remove the filter plate 3 for cleaning and to quickly replace the molecular sieve adsorbent, ensuring the efficiency of natural gas recovery.

[0046] The above provides a detailed description of the high-efficiency filtration gas-liquid separation device for wellhead natural gas recovery provided by this utility model. Specific embodiments have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
