Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil-gas separator technology, specifically a high-efficiency oil separator for a micro-oil screw air compressor. Background Technology

[0002] A screw air compressor is an air compressor that uses a pre-assembled configuration and has advantages such as high efficiency, high performance, maintenance-free operation, and high reliability. Through its screw compressor design, it can provide stable gas pressure and is widely used in industrial production to power various processes. The applications of screw air compressors are not limited to pneumatics; they also include gas transportation, refrigeration, gas separation, gas synthesis, and polymerization. During operation, screw air compressors generate some exhaust gas, which is a mixture of oil and vapor. Direct discharge of this gas would cause environmental pollution; therefore, an oil separator is needed to filter the exhaust gas before discharge.

[0003] However, existing oil separators for micro-oil screw air compressors require regular maintenance and oil replacement after prolonged use. The upper end cover of the oil separator is typically fixed with screws, requiring significant work and time to remove numerous screws during maintenance, severely impacting maintenance efficiency. Therefore, this design does not meet current needs. To address this, we propose a high-efficiency oil separator for micro-oil screw air compressors. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-efficiency oil separator for micro-oil screw air compressors, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that after long-term use, the oil separator of the micro-oil screw air compressor requires regular maintenance by the operator to replace the oil separator. The upper end cover of the oil separator of the micro-oil screw air compressor is usually fixed to the upper end of the oil separator with screws. When the operator performs maintenance on the oil separator, a large number of screws need to be removed, which is a lot of work and takes a long time, seriously affecting the efficiency of the operator's maintenance of the oil separator.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency oil separator for a micro-oil screw air compressor, comprising a separator body, characterized in that:

[0006] An anti-detachment platform is fixedly installed on the upper part of the outside of the separator body. An installation top cover is installed on the upper part of the separator body. Four mating blocks are arranged in a ring on the outside of the installation top cover. A limit plate is fixedly installed inside the mating block. A clamping block is slidably installed inside the limit plate through a slot. The lower end of the clamping block is connected to the anti-detachment platform through a slot.

[0007] A limiting component is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting top cover. A lifting plate is slidably installed on the outside of the limiting component through a slot. An upper top spring is installed on the lower end of the lifting plate. The upper top spring is fixedly connected to the lifting plate and the mating block. A magnetic block is fixedly installed on the lower end of the lifting plate. The magnetic block is slidably connected to the mating block through a slot.

[0008] Preferably, a mounting base is installed at the lower end of the separator body, and the mounting base is welded to the separator body.

[0009] Preferably, an air intake pipe is installed at the upper end of one side of the separator body, and the air intake pipe is welded to the separator body.

[0010] Preferably, an oil output pipe is installed at the lower end of the other side of the separator body, and the oil output pipe is welded to the separator body.

[0011] Preferably, an exhaust pipe is installed at the upper end of the mounting cover, and the exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to the mounting cover.

[0012] Preferably, an oil separator body is installed at the upper end inside the separator body, and the oil separator body is connected to the separator body via a slot.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses a magnetic block to magnetically hold the clamping block, causing the clamping block to move upward and then pull the lower end of the clamping block out of the anti-detachment platform, thus unlocking the installation top cover. The operator only needs to rotate the installation top cover to quickly remove it, so that the operator does not need to remove a lot of screws when maintaining the device, reducing the workload and disassembly time, and greatly improving the efficiency of the operator in maintaining the oil separator.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses a mating block to lock the top cover outside the anti-detachment platform when it rotates, thereby longitudinally limiting the installation of the top cover and making the installation and disassembly of the device more convenient. The installation clamping block can lock its lower end into the anti-detachment platform to prevent the installation top cover from rotating on its own, thus achieving rotational limitation of the installation top cover. This allows the device to be quickly installed and disassembled without removing many screws during maintenance, making the maintenance of the device more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a high-efficiency oil separator for a micro-oil screw air compressor, comprising a separator body 1, characterized in that:

[0023] The anti-detachment platform 15 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the separator body 1. The upper part of the separator body 1 is equipped with a mounting top cover 2. The outer ring of the mounting top cover 2 has four mating blocks 8. The mounting mating blocks 8 can be locked on the outside of the anti-detachment platform 15 when the top cover 2 rotates, thereby limiting the mounting top cover 2 longitudinally and making the installation and disassembly of the device more convenient. The mating block 8 is fixedly installed with a limiting plate 12. The limiting plate 12 is slidably installed with a clamping block 13 through a slot. The clamping block 13 can be locked into the anti-detachment platform 15 at its lower end, thereby preventing the mounting top cover 2 from rotating on its own and realizing the rotation limitation of the mounting top cover 2. This allows the device to be quickly installed and disassembled without removing many screws during maintenance, making the maintenance of the device more convenient. The lower end of the clamping block 13 is connected to the anti-detachment platform 15 through a slot.

[0024] The limiting component 3 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting top cover 2. A lifting plate 4 is slidably installed on the outside of the limiting component 3 through a slot. An upper spring 10 is installed on the lower end of the lifting plate 4. The upper spring 10 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 4 and the mating block 8. A magnetic block 11 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the lifting plate 4. The magnetic block 11 can magnetically attract the clamping block 13, causing the clamping block 13 to move upward, thereby causing the lower end of the clamping block 13 to be pulled out from inside the anti-detachment platform 15, thus unlocking the mounting top cover 2. The operator only needs to rotate the mounting top cover 2 to quickly remove the mounting top cover 2. This reduces the amount of work required when the operator maintains the device by removing a large number of screws, and the disassembly time is extremely short, greatly improving the efficiency of the operator in maintaining the oil separator. The magnetic block 11 and the mating block 8 are slidably connected through a slot.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A mounting base 9 is installed at the lower end of the separator body 1. The mounting base 9 can increase the stability of the device and facilitate the fixed installation of the device in a designated position. The mounting base 9 is welded to the separator body 1. An air inlet pipe 6 is installed at the upper end of one side of the separator body 1. The air inlet pipe 6 is welded to the separator body 1. An oil output pipe 7 is installed at the lower end of the other side of the separator body 1. The oil output pipe 7 is welded to the separator body 1. An exhaust pipe 5 is installed at the upper end of the mounting top cover 2. The exhaust pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting top cover 2. An oil separator body 14 is installed at the upper end inside the separator body 1. The oil separator body 14 is connected to the separator body 1 through a slot.

[0026] Working Principle: During operation, the gas generated by the screw air compressor enters the device through the intake pipe 6 along the inner wall of the separator body 1. The gas rotates inside the separator body 1, causing most of the oil in the gas to impact the inner wall of the separator body 1, gradually forming oil droplets that converge at the lower end of the separator body 1. The gas then exits the device through the oil separator body 14 and the exhaust pipe 5. As the gas passes through the oil separator body 14, it filters out any remaining oil. When maintenance or repair is required, the operator presses down on the lifting plate 4, compressing the upper spring 10 at the lower end of the lifting plate 4. Simultaneously, the lower end of the magnetic block 11 contacts the clamping block 13, causing the magnetic block 11 to magnetically attract and hold the clamping block 13. Then, the upper spring 10 extends, causing the lifting plate 4 to move upwards. This, in turn, causes the magnetic block 11 to move the clamping block 13 upwards, allowing the lower end of the clamping block 13 to be pulled out from inside the anti-detachment platform 15. The operator can then rotate the mounting cover 2 to remove it from the device. The old oil separator body 14 inside the device can be replaced with a new oil separator body 14. The device is equipped with a mating block 8, which can lock the top cover 2 outside the anti-detachment platform 15 when it rotates, thereby limiting the longitudinal movement of the top cover 2 and making the installation and disassembly of the device more convenient. The installation clamping block 13 can be inserted into the anti-detachment platform 15 at its lower end, thereby preventing the top cover 2 from rotating on its own and limiting the rotation of the top cover 2. This allows the device to be quickly installed and disassembled without removing many screws during maintenance, making the maintenance of the device more convenient. The installation magnetic block 11 can magnetically attract the clamping block 13, causing the clamping block 13 to move upward and then pull its lower end out of the anti-detachment platform 15, thereby unlocking the top cover 2. The operator only needs to rotate the top cover 2 to quickly remove it. This reduces the amount of work required when the operator maintains the device, and the disassembly time is extremely short, greatly improving the efficiency of the operator in maintaining the oil separator.

[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
