Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil-gas separation technology, and in particular to a safe recovery device for oil-gas separation in fuel tanks. Background Technology

[0002] Gasoline is highly volatile. During refueling, gasoline vapors are expelled from the tank, and the agitation of the gasoline also generates a large amount of vapors. Furthermore, the natural evaporation of gasoline from underground storage tanks also produces significant amounts of vapors. If these vapors are not properly recovered and treated, they will permeate the gas station environment and may even be released into the atmosphere. Long-term exposure to such vapors poses a threat to human health, pollutes the environment, and creates safety hazards. Fuel vapor separators are used in the fuel vapor separation process to separate gasoline vapors from those in the fuel line. However, in practice, the filter element inside the fuel vapor separator needs to be replaced periodically. Replacement requires disconnecting the pipeline, stopping the fuel vapor separation process. During this time, untreated gasoline vapors are directly released, causing instantaneous pollution exceeding standards. Therefore, we propose a fuel tank vapor separation and safe recovery device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a safe and efficient fuel tank oil-gas separation and recovery device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] Preferably, the dispersing mechanism includes a shaft, the bottom of the partition is rotatably connected to the top of the shaft, and a vortex is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the shaft. The dispersing mechanism disperses the incoming oil and gas, forming turbulence so that it enters one of the oil and gas filter elements from the docking groove.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the top tank is in contact with the top of the bottom tank, and the top tank can be rotated to facilitate the rotation and repositioning of the two oil and gas filter elements.

No VOCs are directly emitted during the switching process, complying with environmental regulations. High-pressure oil and gas are dispersed by vortex blades, improving the separation efficiency of subsequent oil-gas filter elements. Rubber sealing sleeves prevent leakage during switching, reducing the risk of combustion and explosion. The end caps can be opened quickly, facilitating the replacement of old oil-gas filter elements and reducing manual intervention time. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Depend on Figures 1-4 As shown, a fuel tank oil-gas separation and safe recovery device is disclosed, including a bottom tank 1. A docking ring 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom tank 1. A docking sleeve 3 is rotatably fitted onto the docking ring 2. A rubber sealing ring is installed between the docking ring 2 and the docking sleeve 3 to increase sealing and friction, so that the top tank 4 cannot rotate when not subjected to external force. At the same time, the rotation angle of the top tank 4 can be rotated by an arrow pre-marked on the top tank 4. The inner wall of the docking sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the top tank 4, and the bottom of the top tank 4 is in contact with the top of the bottom tank 1.

[0022] The bottom tank 1 is fixedly connected to a partition plate 5. The top of the partition plate 5 is provided with an annular groove. The inner wall of the annular groove is rotatably connected to a T-shaped ring 6. The top of the T-shaped ring 6 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 7. The outer wall of the mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top tank 4. A sealing gasket can be added between the mounting plate 7 and the partition plate 5 to increase the sealing between them. The outer wall of the partition plate 5 is provided with a mating hole 8.

[0023] The top of the mounting plate 7 has two fixedly connected rubber sealing sleeves 9, and the inner walls of the two rubber sealing sleeves 9 are fitted with oil and gas filter elements 10. The rubber sealing sleeves 9 seal the bottom edge of the oil and gas filter elements 10. The outer wall of the top tank 4 has two fixedly connected exhaust pipes 11. The top of the top tank 4 has two threaded grooves, and the inner walls of the two threaded grooves are threaded with end caps 12. The bottom of the end caps 12 is pressed against the top of the oil and gas filter elements 10, and the end caps 12 fix the oil and gas filter elements 10. At the same time, the end caps 12 block the threaded grooves. The inside of the top tank 4 is fixedly connected with a baffle 13, which divides the top tank 4 into two areas.

[0024] The bottom tank 1 is equipped with a dispersion mechanism, which includes a shaft 14. A bearing is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the shaft 14. The outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 7. The bottom of the partition plate 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the shaft 14. A vortex 15 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the shaft 14. An air inlet pipe 16 and an oil outlet pipe 17 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom tank 1. One end of the air inlet pipe 16 is connected to the fuel tank, and the oil and gas in the fuel tank are extracted and transported to the bottom tank 1 through the existing pump body. The oil outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the fuel tank, and the collected oil re-enters the fuel tank through the oil outlet pipe. The internal pressure of the fuel tank is balanced and maintained by the existing valve body (breathing valve).

[0025] Working principle: The fuel gas pipeline on the fuel tank is connected to the intake pipe 16. Fuel gas can enter the bottom tank 1 through the intake pipe 16. The high-pressure fuel gas is blown towards the vortex blade 15 to create a swirling flow, dispersing it. It then enters the top rubber sealing sleeve 9 and the fuel gas filter element 10 through the docking hole 8. Fuel gas separation occurs through the fuel gas filter element 10 (small oil droplets are diffused, intercepted, and collided by the filter material, condensing into larger oil droplets, which continue to settle downwards). The filtered fuel gas is discharged from the corresponding exhaust pipe 11. When replacing the oil-gas filter element 10 in use, rotate the top tank 4 to switch the two oil-gas filter elements 10 inside. The rotation of the top tank 4 drives the mounting plate 7 to rotate, and the two rubber sealing sleeves 9 rotate, so that the other rubber sealing sleeve 9 rotates with the oil-gas filter element 10, so that the other oil-gas filter element 10 is located on the docking hole 8, forming a replacement of the old and new without hindering the separation of oil and gas. Rotate the end cap 12 on the top of the oil-gas filter element 10 to be replaced, and take out the old oil-gas filter element 10.
