Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extraction tanks, and in particular to the field of liquid separation technology, specifically a water separator. Background Technology

[0002] In the chemical, petroleum, and environmental protection fields, the efficient separation of oil-water mixtures is a core step in resource recovery and wastewater treatment. Traditional gravity settling tanks rely on density differences to achieve stratification, but their separation efficiency is low and they are difficult to handle emulsified oils or high-viscosity fluids.

[0003] Therefore, to improve separation efficiency, existing technologies mostly employ inclined plate or inclined tube separation devices, which promote oil-water separation by increasing the sedimentation area and extending the flow path. However, such structures still have significant drawbacks. The inclined plate coverage area is limited to the middle of the tank, and the edge separation efficiency is still not ideal. Some products are designed to adapt to fluids of different viscosities, but their structures are complex and their manufacturing costs are high, making it difficult to balance separation accuracy, stability, and cost.

[0041] This invention proposes a water separator for use in liquid-liquid separation processes of different densities. This invention does not limit the type of liquid, but the structure of this water separator is particularly suitable for water-oil separation.

[0042] In general, the water separator proposed in this utility model mainly includes a shell 1, an inlet inclined plate assembly and an outlet inclined plate assembly, a water phase outlet N2 and an oil phase outlet N3. See also... Figure 1 It shows the arrangement of the housing 1, the feed sloping plate assembly and the discharge sloping plate assembly, the water phase outlet N2 and the oil phase outlet N3.

[0043] To achieve rapid and high-precision separation of water and oil in an extraction tank, this invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies that primarily employ inclined plate or inclined tube separation devices. These devices increase the sedimentation area and extend the flow path to promote oil-water separation. However, such structures have significant drawbacks: the inclined plate coverage area is limited to the middle of the tank, and the edge separation efficiency remains unsatisfactory. Furthermore, some products, designed to accommodate fluids of varying viscosities, suffer from complex structures and high manufacturing costs, making it difficult to balance separation accuracy, stability, and cost. Therefore, the technical solution provided in this embodiment utilizes a structure with inclined plate components installed within the shell 1 to disperse the material and effectively extend the flow path. This leverages gravity differences to promote the settling of liquids with higher droplet density, improving liquid separation efficiency, reducing energy consumption and equipment wear, and ensuring that pure liquid proceeds to the next process.

[0044] As mentioned above, Figure 1 As shown, the housing 1 consists of two parts, including a rectangular end 101 and an arc-shaped end 102 integrally formed on the left and right sides. The rectangular end 101 is used to install the feed ramp assembly and the discharge ramp assembly, while the arc-shaped end 102 forms a buffer zone. In addition, to facilitate the feeding and discharging of materials, a material inlet N1 is installed at the upper end of the vertical side of the housing 1. At the same time, the liquid separated by the feed ramp assembly and the discharge ramp assembly are respectively provided with corresponding water phase outlet N2 and oil phase outlet N3 on the side of the housing 1, and are located on the same side as the material inlet N1. This is conducive to the centralized input and output of liquids, which facilitates quick operation by operators and improves the feeding and discharging time.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, a junction N6 for connecting a thermometer is also installed on the top of the housing 1 above the arc-shaped end 102. A first hand hole N8 and a second hand hole N7 are also installed on the top of the housing 1 on the side of the arc-shaped end 102 and the side near the material inlet N1, respectively.

[0046] Preferably, a drain port N4 is also provided at the bottom of the shell 1. Since the water phase outlet N2 and the oil phase outlet N3 are both located above the middle of the shell 1, a drain port N4 located at the bottom is provided to facilitate the output of excess liquid in the shell 1 and avoid the liquid being concentrated at the bottom, which would cause the contaminant to accumulate in the shell 1.

[0047] It should be specifically noted that the feed inclined plate assembly and the discharge inclined plate assembly used to separate liquids of different densities are both installed inside the housing 1 at one end near the material inlet N1, and multiple diversion channels 3 are formed within the feed inclined plate assembly and the discharge inclined plate assembly. After the liquid to be separated passes through, a vertically arranged central baffle 6 is also installed between the feed inclined plate assembly and the discharge inclined plate assembly to restrict the material from passing through the feed inclined plate assembly and then entering the discharge inclined plate assembly. The "louvered" arrangement of the feed inclined plate assembly and the discharge inclined plate assembly helps to extend the fluid flow path, causing the droplets to coalesce and fall after impacting the plate surface due to inertia.

[0048] Specifically, the feed inclined plate assembly and the discharge inclined plate assembly respectively include a bottom channel steel frame 8, an angle steel limiting frame 9, an inclined grating plate 4, and a spacer tube 10. The bottom channel steel frame 8 is installed on the bottom inner side of the housing 1 to support the inclined grating plate 4 on the inner upper side of the housing 1. Then, the angle steel limiting frame 9 is installed on the bottom channel steel frame 8 to limit the installation position of the inclined grating plate 4 and limit the position of its four corners to facilitate the quick alignment and installation of the internal inclined grating plate 4.

[0049] Based on this, multiple inclined grating plates 4 are set at equal intervals within the angle steel limiting frame 9. Multiple spacer tubes 10 are inserted between the multiple inclined grating plates 4 to achieve positioning and installation. Correspondingly, each inclined grating plate 4 has a corresponding spacer tube 10 with an installation hole. Preferably, the angle between the inclined grating plate 4 and the bottom channel steel frame 8 is 43°, and the spacer tube 10 is set perpendicular to the inclined grating plate 4. After alignment and installation, the two ends of the spacer tube 10 are locked with nuts to prevent the inclined grating plate 4 from loosening due to the entry of a large amount of material after installation. At the same time, the thickness of the inclined grating plate 4 is 2mm, which can also effectively ensure the stability of the liquid during the separation process.

[0050] In addition, the feed sloping plate assembly and the discharge sloping plate assembly form a liquid buffer through the arc end 102. In order to achieve the continuity of the path, the flow direction is changed to reduce the fluid velocity and the gravity difference is used to promote the sinking of liquid with high droplet settling density. The inclined grid plates 4 in the feed sloping plate assembly and the discharge sloping plate assembly are set in opposite directions to ensure that pure gas or liquid enters the next process, reducing energy consumption and equipment wear.

[0051] Preferably, the lengths of the adjacent inclined grid plates 4 on both sides are different, while the lengths of the inclined grid plates 4 on the middle diagonal are the same. In order to ensure that the inclined grid plates 4 of the same length in the middle position can also be aligned, the opening positions for installing the spacer tube 10 in the inclined grid plates 4 of the same length on the middle diagonal are different.

[0052] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
