Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil-gas separation technology, and in particular to an oil-gas separation device for compressors. Background Technology
[0002] An air compressor is a machine that pressurizes and outputs gas, widely used in various fields such as automobiles, medical devices, and electrical appliances. During the air compression process, compressed air needs to be sprayed with oil. Oil spraying increases the equipment's sealing and lubrication, and also reduces the temperature during gas compression. However, the oil and gas in the compressed gas need to be separated before output. Existing oil-gas separation devices often fail to separate oil and gas completely, resulting in oil and gas mixed in with the air. This increases lubricating oil consumption, and the presence of gas in the lubricating oil reduces its lubricating effect, increases equipment wear, and raises maintenance costs.
[0003] For example, the utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN216171147U discloses an oil-gas separation device for an air compressor, which includes a main body, a sealing cover on the top of the main body, a diffuser assembly on one side of the main body with an air inlet, and the other end of the diffuser assembly extending into the inner cavity of the main body. An oil drain port is provided on one side of the bottom of the main body, and a condenser plate is provided on the inner cavity sidewall of the main body. Heat dissipation fins are provided on the surface of the main body. However, the oil-gas separation mechanism is simple and it is difficult to guarantee the oil-gas separation effect. Therefore, an oil-gas separation device for a compressor is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an oil-gas separation device for compressors.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0014] The pre-treatment filter first intercepts solid impurities in the oil-gas mixture. The motor of the intake mechanism drives the rotating shaft, guiding the gas through the air inlet into the centrifuge chamber. The centrifugal treatment mechanism uses centrifugal force to separate oil droplets from the gas. In conjunction with the cooling mechanism, the cooling plates lower the gas temperature, causing the oil vapor to condense into a liquid state. The gas then passes through the filter media of the filtration mechanism for further adsorption of tiny oil droplets. This multi-stage separation design reduces the oil content at the outlet and improves efficiency compared to traditional single-stage separation.
[0015] By setting a second scraper to rotate with the rotating shaft, the accumulated oil at the bottom of the tank is scraped off and discharged through the oil drain pipe. The first scraper cleans the oil stains at the bottom of the tank to prevent impurities from clogging the filter medium. The liquid pump of the cooling treatment mechanism drives the coolant to circulate between the heat exchange tank and the liquid collection tank. The cooling plate continuously cools down the oil-gas mixture, reducing the temperature of the separation element caused by high temperature and extending the equipment maintenance cycle.
