Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil separators, specifically a novel oil separator three-way pipe. Background Technology

[0002] A series of key components are usually connected to the outside of the oil drain pipe of the oil separator to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system and to achieve automated control.

[0003] These key components include solenoid valves (control), pressure switches (protection), filters (purification), and check valves (backflow prevention). Because these are essential components, dedicated pipelines are required to connect the oil separator's drain pipe to these components during installation. This undoubtedly increases the number of external pipelines for the oil separator, occupies a large amount of space inside the compressor unit, and causes great inconvenience in design, installation, and maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel oil separator three-way pipe and a compressor with the one-way valve to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel oil separator three-way pipe, including a connecting seat and three outlet positions. The connecting seat is connected to the three outlet positions through the pipe body. Each outlet position includes a first outlet, a second outlet, and a third outlet pipe. The first outlet, the second outlet, and the third outlet are arranged side by side and are independent of each other. The first outlet is connected to a solenoid valve, the second outlet is connected to a capillary tube, and the third outlet is connected to a pressure switch. A filter screen is provided inside the pipe body.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the connecting seat is provided with a pipe joint, which is connected to the oil drain pipe on the oil separator.

[0007] Preferably, the apertures of the first outlet and the third outlet are larger than those of the second outlet.

[0008] Preferably, the pressure switch is mounted on the side wall of the oil separator via a mounting bracket.

[0009] Preferably, the filter screen includes an mounting ring and a filter screen, the mounting ring being fixedly mounted on the inner side wall of the tube body, and the filter screen being mounted on the mounting ring.

[0010] Preferably, the third outlet is connected to the pressure switch via a copper pipe.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] The three-way pipe structure welded to the oil separator in this invention can help the oil discharged from the oil separator enter different functional components through multiple independent outlet stations, reducing the number of pipes outside the oil separator and no longer occupying a large amount of space inside the compressor unit.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel oil separator three-way pipe, including a connecting seat 1 and three outlet positions. The connecting seat 1 is connected to the three outlet positions through the pipe body 2. The outlet positions include three outlet pipes: a first outlet 3, a second outlet 4, and a third outlet 5. The first outlet 3, the second outlet 4, and the third outlet 5 are arranged side by side and are independent of each other. The first outlet 3 is connected to a solenoid valve 6, the second outlet 4 is connected to a capillary tube 7, and the third outlet 5 is connected to a pressure switch 8. A filter screen is provided inside the pipe body 2. The oil separated by the oil separator is discharged outward through the oil drain pipe, and then filtered and diverted by the three-way pipe before re-entering the compressor system.

[0020] In this embodiment, the bottom of the connecting seat 1 is provided with a pipe joint 11, which is connected to the oil drain pipe on the oil separator. The pipe joint 11 and the oil drain pipe are connected by welding.

[0021] In this embodiment, the apertures of the first outlet 3 and the third outlet 5 are larger than those of the second outlet 4. The second outlet is connected to the capillary tube 7. The capillary tube 7, with its smaller inner diameter, balances the oil pressure of the first outlet 3 and the third outlet 5, ensuring that the pressure switches 8 and the solenoid valve 6 on both sides are subjected to balanced oil pressure.

[0022] In this embodiment, the pressure switch 8 is mounted on the side wall of the oil separator via a mounting base 81, connecting to the oil separator, reducing space occupation and facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0023] In this embodiment, the filter screen includes an mounting ring 9 and a filter screen 10. The mounting ring 9 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the pipe body 2, and the filter screen 10 is installed on the mounting ring 9. The filter screen 10 is used to filter out impurities such as sludge and particulate matter in the returned oil.

[0024] In this embodiment, the third outlet 5 is connected to the pressure switch 8 via a copper pipe 51. The copper pipe 51 is welded together to ensure sealing quality, so that the pressure on the pressure switch 8 is not affected by factors such as leakage.

[0025] Based on the above, the three-way pipe structure welded to the oil separator in this utility model can help the oil discharged from the oil separator enter different functional components through multiple independent outlet stations, reducing the number of pipes outside the oil separator and no longer occupying a large amount of space inside the compressor unit.

[0026] As is known from common technical knowledge, this utility model can be implemented through other embodiments that do not depart from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this utility model or its equivalents are included in this utility model.
