[0021] Please see Figure 1 The embodiments of this utility model include:

[0022] Example 1

[0023] This utility model discloses an exhaust gas recovery device, including: a gas recovery tank 10, a flow distribution valve 20, an intelligent control module 30, and a pressure regulating valve 40.

[0024] The gas recovery tank 10 has an air inlet 11, an air outlet 12, a water inlet 13, and a water outlet 14. A pressure sensor 15 is installed on the inner top of the gas recovery tank 10, and the vertical height of the pressure sensor 15 is higher than the highest liquid level line of the water inlet 13 and the water outlet 14.

[0025] The inlet 13 is connected to a water source via a high-pressure water pump 16, and the outlet 14 is equipped with a drain valve 17. After maintenance or troubleshooting, clean water is used to replace the stored gas in the gas recovery tank 10. The replaced gas is then treated to reduce air pollution. The clean water in the tank can be reused, improving resource utilization. Additionally, the clean water in the tank can also be used for emergency firefighting.

[0026] During replacement, the intelligent control module 30 starts the high-pressure water pump 16 to inject clean water at a pressure of 1.2MPa for 20 minutes until the pressure sensor 15 detects that the gas in the gas recovery tank 10 has been completely discharged.

[0027] The intelligent control module 30 is signal-connected to the high-pressure water pump 16 and the drain valve 17 to control the opening and closing of the high-pressure water pump 16 and the drain valve 17 to achieve gas replacement and improve the degree of automation.

[0028] The flow distribution valve 20 is installed between the gas transmission pipeline 50 and the main vent pipeline 60, and the gas inlet 11 of the gas recovery tank 10 is connected to the flow distribution valve 20 through an inlet pipeline. The flow distribution valve 20 is used to regulate the amount of gas entering the gas recovery tank 10.

[0029] Specifically, the intake pipe and the flow distribution valve 20 are connected by a magnetic sealing flange, enabling quick assembly and disassembly to meet the venting requirements of different parts. The sealing surface of the magnetic sealing flange is coated with a high-temperature resistant fluororubber layer, and the magnetic component uses neodymium iron boron permanent magnets to ensure the sealing performance and service life of the flange and prevent gas leakage.

[0030] The pressure regulating valve 40 is installed on the air inlet pipe to stabilize the gas pressure, and the adjustment range is 0.5 to 3.0 MPa.

[0031] The intelligent control module 30 is connected to the flow distribution valve 20, the pressure regulating valve 40 and the pressure sensor 15, and is used to dynamically adjust the opening of the flow distribution valve 20 according to the feedback data of the pressure sensor 15, so as to ensure that the pressure in the gas recovery tank 10 is within a safe range.

[0032] Specifically, the flow distribution valve 20 is linked to the pressure sensor 15 through the intelligent control module 30, and dynamically adjusts its opening degree according to the feedback data of the pressure sensor 15 to achieve pressure regulation in the gas recovery tank 10.

[0033] In addition, the intelligent control module 30 also presets a pressure threshold. When the pressure inside the gas recovery tank 10 exceeds the threshold, it automatically closes the flow distribution valve 20 and switches to the main venting pipe 60 to prevent safety hazards.

[0034] In addition, shut-off valves 18 are installed on the intake pipe and on the gas supply pipe 50 upstream of the flow distribution valve 20.

[0035] This utility model discloses an exhaust gas recovery device, which integrates intelligent control and skid-mounted design. It is suitable for maintenance and repair of small and medium-sized gas transmission stations, and its specific advantages are as follows:

[0036] By designing gas recovery tanks, the gas in the gas pipeline can be collected and stored in a unified manner during the maintenance or repair of the gas transmission station, thus preventing energy waste and air pollution caused by combustion.

[0037] By designing a flow distribution valve, an intelligent control module, and a pressure regulating valve, the gas pressure inside the gas recovery tank is automatically and dynamically adjusted to ensure safety.

[0038] By replacing the gas in the gas recovery tank with clean water, air pollution is reduced and resource utilization is improved.

[0039] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
