Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oilfield development, specifically relating to a self-cleaning oil-water separation and filtration device for oilfield development. Background Technology

[0002] Oilfield wastewater typically refers to water containing various impurities and pollutants generated during oil extraction, gathering, transportation, and treatment. If oilfield wastewater is discharged directly without treatment, it will cause serious environmental pollution, such as contaminating soil, surface water, and groundwater, affecting the ecological balance, and endangering the survival of surrounding plants and animals. Currently, oil-water separation and filtration equipment is widely used to separate oil and water in oilfield wastewater. In practice, it has the advantages of simple operation, good separation effect, and stable use.

[0003] The prior art discloses an oilfield produced water treatment device with application number CN201922054708.6. In this utility model, the nozzle for spraying water is located above the filter screen structure. This flushing method cannot remove the blockage inside the filter screen structure, which poses a hidden danger to the cleaning of the filter screen structure of this utility model. At the same time, oil and water need to be separated inside the oil-water separator, but there is no airtightness detection structure. When there is a leak in the oil-water separator, oil and water will seep out from inside the oil-water separator, reducing the practicality of this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a self-cleaning oil-water separation and filtration device for oilfield development. It has the advantages of being able to flush out blockages inside the filter structure and having an airtightness detection structure that can detect in advance whether the oil-water separation tank is a sealed structure, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides a self-cleaning oil-water separation and filtration device for oilfield development, including a separation box. A filter screen is installed inside the separation box. An installation cover and a water tank are installed on the upper part of the separation box. A shaft tube passes through the separation box, filter screen, and installation cover via a bearing. A water storage tray is fixedly sleeved on the lower side wall of the shaft tube. Multiple sets of stirring rods are installed on the lower part of the water storage tray. Multiple sets of water spray pipes are fixedly inserted through the upper part of the water storage tray. A threaded through hole is formed in the inner wall of the separation box, and a threaded cap is installed inside the threaded through hole. The side wall of the separation box is fixedly... The separation tank is equipped with a water inlet pipe, a feed pipe, an air inlet pipe, and an air outlet pipe. A transparent air storage cylinder is fixedly sleeved on one end of the air outlet pipe. A water outlet pipe, two sets of oil drain pipes, and a sewage drain pipe are fixedly inserted through the lower end of the separation tank. A pump and a drive motor are installed on the upper part of the mounting cover. A main gear is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the drive motor. A driven gear is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the shaft tube. A connecting pipe is snapped onto the output end of the pump, and one end of the connecting pipe is connected to the shaft tube through a bearing. A liquid extraction pipe is snapped onto the input end of the pump, and one end of the liquid extraction pipe is inserted into the interior of the water tank.

[0006] Preferably, an installation plate is installed inside the transparent air storage cylinder, and two sets of connecting rods slide through one side of the installation plate. A piston plate is installed at one end of each set of connecting rods, and a limit plate is installed at the other end of each set of connecting rods. Springs are sleeved on the side walls of each set of connecting rods. A threaded plug is installed in the internal threaded part of the opening of the transparent air storage cylinder, and a breathable mesh is fixedly inserted through one side of the threaded plug.

[0007] Preferably, the main gear and the driven gear mesh with each other.

[0008] Preferably, the threaded through hole and the threaded cap are threaded together.

[0009] Preferably, each of the multiple sets of water spray pipes is provided with a one-way valve on its sidewall.

[0010] Preferably, the side walls of the water inlet pipe and the feed pipe are each provided with a first control valve, the side walls of the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe are each provided with a second control valve, and the side walls of the water outlet pipe, the two sets of oil drain pipes and the sewage drain pipe are each provided with a third control valve.

[0011] Preferably, an electrical control box is installed on the side wall of the separation box, and a control panel is installed inside the electrical control box. The control panel is electrically connected to the pump and the drive motor via wires.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] (1) This utility model adopts a filter screen, a shaft tube, and a water storage pan. In actual use, when the self-cleaning oil-water separation and filtration equipment is used in oilfields, the oilfield sewage can be discharged into the interior of the separation tank through the inlet pipe. At this time, the filter screen can filter the oilfield sewage. Then, the chemical catalyst can be put into the interior of the separation tank through the feed pipe. Then, the control panel is used to make the drive motor work. The output end of the drive motor can drive the main gear to rotate. Since the main gear and the driven gear mesh with each other, the rotating main gear can drive the driven gear to rotate. The rotating driven gear can drive the water storage pan to rotate through the shaft tube. The rotating water storage pan can stir the oil and water inside the separation tank through multiple sets of stirring rods. The oil and water and the chemical catalyst are mixed. This system enables rapid oil-water separation. Because water is denser than oil, the separated oil floats on the surface of the water. The water can be discharged through the outlet pipe, and the oil can be discharged through two sets of oil drain pipes. Impurities inside the separation tank can be discharged through the drain pipe. When the filter screen needs cleaning, the control panel is used to activate the pump. The water inside the tank enters the water storage pan through the suction pipe, connecting pipe, and shaft pipe. Finally, the water is sprayed out through multiple sets of spray pipes. The sprayed water can flush out the impurities clogging the filter screen. Through the filter screen, shaft pipe, and water storage pan, the blockage inside the filter screen structure can be flushed out, ensuring the cleaning of the filter screen structure of the self-cleaning oil-water separation filtration equipment used in oilfields.

[0014] (2) This utility model adopts an air inlet pipe, an air outlet pipe, and a transparent air storage cylinder. Before the actual use of the self-cleaning oil-water separation and filtration equipment in oilfields, one end of the air inlet pipe is connected to an external air pump. After the external air pump is powered on, air can enter the interior of the separation box through the air inlet pipe, and excess air can enter the interior of the transparent air storage cylinder through the air outlet pipe. At the same time, the air can push the piston plate, and the piston plate can move the limiting plate through two sets of connecting rods. During this process, the piston plate and the mounting plate will squeeze two sets of springs. When the limiting plate contacts the threaded plug, it closes the upper set of second control valves. When there is a leak inside the separation box, the two sets of springs can push the piston plate to reset due to their own elastic force. When there is no leak inside the separation box, the piston plate is fixed in position. The operator can judge whether there is a leak inside the separation box by observing the position of the piston plate. With the air inlet pipe, air outlet pipe, and transparent air storage cylinder, there is an airtightness detection structure, which can detect in advance whether the oil-water separation box is a sealed structure, thus improving the practicality of the self-cleaning oil-water separation and filtration equipment used in oilfields.

The control circuit of the control panel can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. It is common knowledge in the art and is only used without modification. Therefore, the control method and circuit connection will not be described in detail.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] When using a self-cleaning oil-water separation and filtration device in actual oilfield operations, oilfield wastewater can be discharged into the separation tank 1 through the inlet pipe 9. At this time, the filter screen 2 can filter the oilfield wastewater. Then, the chemical catalyst can be added into the separation tank 1 through the feed pipe 10. Then, the control panel is used to make the drive motor 20 work. The output end of the drive motor 20 can drive the main gear 21 to rotate. Since the main gear 21 and the driven gear 22 mesh with each other, the rotating main gear 21 can drive the driven gear 22 to rotate. The rotating driven gear 22 can drive the water storage pan 4 to rotate through the shaft tube 3. The rotating water storage pan 4 can stir the inside of the separation tank 1 through multiple sets of stirring rods 5. The oil and water are mixed with a chemical catalyst to achieve rapid oil-water separation. Since water is denser than oil, the separated oil floats on the surface of the water. The water can be discharged through the outlet pipe 11, and the oil can be discharged through two sets of oil drain pipes 12. Impurities inside the separation tank 1 can be discharged through the drain pipe 13. When the filter screen 2 needs cleaning, the control panel is used to operate the pump 19. The water inside the water tank 18 enters the water storage pan 4 through the suction pipe 24, connecting pipe 23, and shaft pipe 3. Finally, the water is sprayed out through multiple sets of spray pipes 6, which flush out the impurities clogging the filter screen 2. The water then passes through the filter screen 2, shaft pipe 3, and... The water storage pan 4 can flush out blockages inside the filter screen structure, ensuring the cleaning of the filter screen structure of the self-cleaning oil-water separation filter equipment used in oilfield development. Before actually using the self-cleaning oil-water separation filter equipment in oilfield development, one end of the air inlet pipe 14 is connected to an external air pump. After the external air pump is powered on, air can enter the interior of the separation box 1 through the air inlet pipe 14. Excess air can enter the interior of the transparent air storage cylinder 16 through the air outlet pipe 15. Simultaneously, the air can push the piston plate 27, which can move the limiting plate 28 via two sets of connecting rods 26. During this process, the piston plate 27 and the mounting plate 25 will compress two sets of springs. 29. When the limit plate 28 contacts the threaded plug 30, the upper set of second control valves is closed. When there is a leak inside the separator 1, the two sets of springs 29 can push the piston plate 27 to reset due to their own elastic force. When there is no leak inside the separator 1, the position of the piston plate 27 is fixed. The operator can determine whether there is a leak inside the separator 1 by observing the position of the piston plate 27. Through the air inlet pipe 14, air outlet pipe 15 and transparent air storage cylinder 16, an airtightness detection structure is provided, which can detect in advance whether the oil-water separator 1 is a sealed structure, thus improving the practicality of using self-cleaning oil-water separation and filtration equipment in oilfield development.

[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
