Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil-gas separator technology, and in particular to an oil-gas separator for an air compressor. Background Technology
[0002] An oil-gas separator is a device used to separate a mixture of oil and gas into two components: oil and gas. It is widely used in the petroleum industry, air compressors, automobiles, and other fields. Its working principle involves feeding the oil-gas mixture into the separator and rotating it. Due to the higher density of oil droplets, under the action of centrifugal force, the oil droplets are rapidly separated from the gas flow by the separator core and settle to the bottom along the inner wall of the separator.
[0003] However, existing oil-gas separators still have certain drawbacks. For example, the oil-gas separator core requires the sequential removal and installation of multiple bolts on the equipment, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, the installation and removal of these bolts require tools, resulting in poor performance. A search revealed that the technical solution provided by utility model application number CN201921065445.2 also suffers from the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] The inner surface of the slot is provided with a slot, and the inner surface of the slot is adapted to the L-shaped buckle.
[0009] The upper surface of the fixing box is provided with a positioning hole, and the inner surface of the positioning hole is adapted to the positioning hole.
[0010] The outer surface of the base plate is provided with four mounting holes arranged in a rectangular array.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses an oil-gas separator for an air compressor, comprising a base plate 1 and a fixing assembly 13. A separator cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. An oil inlet pipe 3 and an oil outlet pipe 4 are provided on the outer surface of the separator cylinder 2. A limiting groove 5 is provided on the upper surface of the separator cylinder 2. An oil-gas separator core 6 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the limiting groove 5. A sealing ring 7 is provided on the upper surface of the separator cylinder 2 to improve the sealing between the separator cylinder 2 and the cylinder cover 8. The upper surface of the sealing ring 7 is fixedly connected to... The device is equipped with a cylinder cover 8, an air passage pipe 9 on the upper surface of the cylinder cover 8, a scale 10 on the outer surface of the separator cylinder 2 for observing the oil level inside the separator cylinder 2, a fixing block 11 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cylinder cover 8, a positioning plug 12 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixing block 11, a slot 22 at the lower end of the positioning plug 12, a groove 23 on the inner surface of the slot 22, and mounting holes 25 on the outer surface of the base plate 1. There are four mounting holes 25 arranged in a rectangular array to facilitate the installation of this device.
[0024] The fixing assembly 13 includes a fixing box 14, a U-shaped frame 15, a slide rod 16, an L-shaped buckle 17, a spring 18, a beveled block 19, a silicone pad 20, and a limiting plate 21. The inner surface of the fixing box 14 is slidably connected to the U-shaped frame 15, and the outer surface of the U-shaped frame 15 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 21. The inside of the fixing box 14 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 16, the outer surface of the slide rod 16 is slidably connected to the L-shaped buckle 17, the outer surface of the L-shaped buckle 17 is fixedly connected to the spring 18, the lower end of the L-shaped buckle 17 is fixedly connected to the beveled block 19, the outer surface of the U-shaped frame 15 is fixedly connected to the silicone pad 20, and the inner surface of the slot 22 is adapted to the L-shaped buckle 17 for easy insertion of the sleeve. The inner surface of the slot 23 is adapted to the L-shaped buckle 17 for easy closure of the cover 8. The upper surface of the fixing box 14 is provided with a positioning hole 24, and the inner surface of the positioning hole 24 is adapted to the positioning hole 24 to improve the installation speed of the cover 8. There are two fixing components 13 with symmetrical ends. The outer surface of the separating cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the fixing box 14.

[0025] During operation, the oil-gas separator core 6 is inserted into the interior of the separator cylinder 2 and snapped into the limiting groove 5 for initial fixation. Then, the positioning block 12 is aligned with the positioning hole 24 and inserted, enabling quick positioning and installation of the cylinder cover 8. Next, the silicone pad 20 presses down on the U-shaped bracket 15 on the fixing assembly 13, causing it to slide along the inclined surface of the inclined block 19 under the limiting action of the limiting plate 21. This causes the two L-shaped buckles 17 to move towards each other along the slide rod 16, compressing the spring 18. Then, pressing down on the cylinder cover 8 further seals the connection between the separator cylinder 2 and the cylinder cover 8 through the sealing ring 7, causing the corresponding two L-shaped buckles 17 to extend into the slot 22. Subsequently, when the L-shaped buckles... When buckle 17 aligns with slot 23, release the U-shaped bracket 15. Under the restoring force of spring 18, the two corresponding L-shaped buckles 17 will unfold to both sides and snap into slot 23, thus fixing the entire cylinder cover 8 in place. At the same time, the oil-gas separator core 6 is limited and installed inside the separator cylinder 2. When the oil-gas separator core 6 needs to be replaced, simply press the U-shaped bracket 15 again as described above to drive the L-shaped buckles 17 out of the slot 23. Then, pull the entire cylinder cover 8 upward along slot 22 to release the restriction on the oil-gas separator core 6. Then, directly remove the oil-gas separator core 6 from the limiting slot 5 to complete the disassembly. It is simple, convenient, and requires no tools, making it highly practical.
