Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas-liquid separator technology, specifically an ABL distillation column gas-liquid buffer separator. Background Technology
[0002] A distillation column is a tower-type gas-liquid contact device used for distillation. It utilizes the different volatility of components in a mixture—that is, the different vapor pressures of each component at the same temperature—to transfer lighter components from the liquid phase to the gas phase, while heavier components from the gas phase transfer to the liquid phase, thus achieving separation. In the operation of a distillation column, a dedicated gas-liquid separator is often used for gas-liquid separation. However, existing gas-liquid separators still exhibit shortcomings in practical use.
[0003] For example, application number CN201922361620.9 describes a gas-liquid separator for distillation column feed. The gas-liquid separator has an installation pipe rotatably connected to its left side via a rotating shaft. A rotating pipe is rotatably connected to the inside of the installation pipe. A first limiting block is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating pipe, and a handle is fixedly connected to the other end. A directional pipe is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating pipe, and a second limiting block is fixedly connected to the outside of the directional pipe. This design facilitates spiral connections between pipes. Existing separation equipment typically uses nuts for connection to its pipes, which can cause inconvenience in subsequent maintenance.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, an ABL distillation column gas-liquid buffer separator is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0009] Preferably, one end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to an ejector block, the ejector block is matched with the connecting tube, and fixing blocks are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the connecting tube.
[0010] The design of the above structure, with the addition of fixing blocks, improves the connection stability of the connecting pipe and facilitates its use.
[0011] Preferably, the fixing block has a threaded groove that matches the bolt, and the liquid collection tank is internally fixedly connected to a support pipe.
[0012] The above-described structure, through the use of threaded grooves and bolts, enables a faster separation of the connecting pipe from the mounting block.
[0013] Preferably, a sliding rod is slidably connected inside the support tube, a contact block is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod, and a conical block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the contact block.

[0017] Preferably, the sealing block is fitted to the inner wall of the support tube, and a spring rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sealing block, with one end of the spring rod fixedly connected to the inside of the support tube.
[0018] The above-described structure, with the spring rod, provides a buffering effect when liquid enters the connecting pipe.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0029] 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.
[0030] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0031] Combination Figures 1-3 An ABL distillation column gas-liquid buffer separator includes a separator body 1 and a liquid collection tank 2 disposed on one side of the separator body 1. An exhaust pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the separator body 1, an inlet pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the liquid collection tank 2, and a connecting pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the liquid collection tank 2. The separator body 1 is provided with a connecting mechanism, which is used to fix the connecting pipe 22. The connecting mechanism includes a mounting block 12 fixedly connected to one side of the separator body 1, and a connecting plate 121 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting block 12.
[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] To address the problem that existing separation equipment typically uses nuts for connection to its connecting pipes, which causes inconvenience for subsequent maintenance, this embodiment discloses the following technical solution, specifically as follows: Figures 1-3As shown, bolts 122 are installed through both the upper and lower sides of the connecting plate 121. A return spring 123 is fixedly connected inside the connecting plate 121. One end of the return spring 123 is fixedly connected to an ejector block 124, which matches the connecting pipe 22. Fixing blocks 221 are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the connecting pipe 22. Threaded grooves 222 are provided on the fixing blocks 221, which match the bolts 122. When it is necessary to connect the connecting pipe 22 on one side of the liquid collection tank 2 to the separator body 1, the connecting pipe 22 on one side of the liquid collection tank 2 can be extended into the interior of the connecting plate 121 on the mounting block 12. Push the connecting pipe 22, then rotate the bolt 122 located on the connecting plate 121. The rotation of the bolt 122 causes one end of the bolt 122 to move into the threaded groove 222 on the fixing block 221, thus completing the installation operation. When maintenance is required and the connecting pipe 22 needs to be separated from the mounting block 12, rotate the bolt 122 in the opposite direction to separate the bolt 122 from the threaded groove 222. At this time, under the action of the return spring 123, the ejector block 124 pushes the connecting pipe 22 out from the inside of the connecting plate 121, which realizes the function of separating the connecting pipe 22 from the mounting block 12 more quickly and improves the efficiency of subsequent maintenance.
[0035] Example 2:
[0036] To address the problem that existing separation equipment generally lacks effective protective mechanisms, leading to damage to the connecting pipe 22 due to excessive liquid impact during use and affecting its performance, this embodiment discloses the following technical solution, specifically as follows: Figures 4-6 As shown, a support pipe 23 is fixedly connected inside the liquid collection tank 2. A sliding rod 231 is slidably connected inside the support pipe 23. A contact block 232 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod 231. A conical block 233 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the contact block 232. The conical block 233 slides with the connecting pipe 22. A drain port assembly 24 is opened on the outside of the support pipe 23. A sealing block 241 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding rod 231. The sealing block 241 fits against the inner wall of the support pipe 23. A spring rod 242 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing block 241. One end of the spring rod 242 is fixedly connected to the support pipe 23. Inside the liquid collection tank 2, when the liquid enters through the inlet pipe 21, the impact force of the water flow first acts on the contact block 232. The contact block 232 can buffer the impact force of the water flow on the connecting pipe 22. With the cooperation of the spring rod 242, the connecting pipe 22 is protected. Furthermore, the drain port assembly 24 and the sealing block 241 ensure that the water entering the support pipe 23 can be discharged in time, preventing corrosion of the spring rod 242. This achieves a certain buffering effect when the liquid enters the connecting pipe 22, improving the performance.
