Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas collection, and in particular to an automated gas collection device for a refrigerant filling workshop. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional refrigerant filling workshops often employ manual or semi-automated gas collection equipment, resulting in cumbersome processes that require different machines to perform vacuuming, filling, and recovery operations, with time-consuming manual equipment switching. The lack of integrated design in gas compression, filtration, cooling, and storage leads to low gas transmission efficiency. Insufficient filtration precision during gas processing fails to effectively remove harmful impurities, affecting gas quality and subsequent safety. High-temperature compressed gases are difficult to cool quickly to suitable storage temperatures, increasing the load on storage equipment and posing safety hazards. Storage tanks often use single-layer or simple structures with poor thermal insulation and chemical stability, failing to meet the requirements for long-term safe gas storage. Therefore, a compact, functionally integrated, safe, reliable, and easy-to-maintain automated gas collection device is needed to improve the overall efficiency and safety of gas collection and storage.

[0021] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides:

[0022] An automated gas collection device for a refrigerant filling workshop includes a conduit 1, a compression device 2, a compression device base 3, a filter 4, a cooling device 5, a collection pipe 6, a storage tank 7, and a storage tank base 8. Conduits 1 are provided on both the left and right sides of the compression device 2. The compression device base 3 is located below the compression device 2. The end of the conduit 1 on the right side of the compression device 2 is connected to the filter device 4. The right side of the filter device 4 is also provided with a conduit 1. The end of the conduit 1 on the right side of the filter device 4 is connected to the cooling device 5. The collection pipe 6 is located on the right side of the cooling device 5. The storage tank 7 is located below the collection pipe 6. The storage tank base 8 is located below the storage tank 7.

[0023] like Figure 2As shown, the compression device 2 has a gas compression chamber 11 inside. An inlet valve 9 and an outlet valve 10 are located on both sides above the gas compression chamber 11. Both the inlet valve 9 and the outlet valve 10 are one-way valves. A piston 24 is installed inside the gas compression chamber 11, and a connecting rod 23 is connected to the lower end of the piston 24. A motor 12 is located below the gas compression chamber 11, and the motor 12 is connected to the piston 24 via the connecting rod 23. The motor 12 is electrically connected to an external power source via a power cord.

[0024] In this embodiment, when the motor 12 rotates and drives the piston 24 to pull down, the space of the compression chamber 11 increases, the intake valve 9 opens, and the gas enters the compression chamber 11 through the left conduit 1. When the motor 12 rotates and drives the piston 24 to move upward, the space of the compression chamber 11 decreases and the intake valve 9 closes. When the gas is compressed to a certain volume, the exhaust valve 10 opens, and the compressed gas is discharged from the right conduit 1.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown in Figure 4, the filter device 4 has a filter chamber 17 inside, a support rod 18 is installed inside the filter chamber 17, and a filter element 16 is installed inside the filter chamber 17 and outside the support rod 18. The filter element 16 is made of HEPA air filter material. A support plate 27 is connected to the lower end of the support rod 18 and passes through the filter element 16. The support plate 27 has a porous and breathable structure. A sealing cover 15 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the support rod 18. An air inlet 25 and an air outlet 26 are respectively provided on the two outer sides of the filter chamber 17.

[0026] In this embodiment, compressed gas enters the filter chamber 17 from the air inlet 25, and after being filtered by the filter element 16 to remove most of the harmful impurities, it is discharged from the air outlet 26.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, a threaded hole is provided at the center of the support plate 27, and a thread is provided at the bottom outer side of the support rod 18. The support plate 27 is screwed to the lower end of the support rod 18 through the thread.

[0028] In this embodiment, the support rod 18, support plate 27, and filter element 16 can be pulled out from the filter chamber 17 by rotating the sealing cover 15.

The U-shaped tubes 13 are connected to each other and wrapped with a condensing chamber 14 on the outside. The condensing chamber 14 is filled with a coolant. When the high-temperature compressed gas enters the cooling device 5 through the conduit 1, it will pass through the U-shaped tubes 13. During the process of passing through the U-shaped tubes 13, the condensing chamber 14 will reduce the temperature of the compressed gas. The cooled compressed gas will be discharged into the collection pipe 6.

[0030] like Figure 5As shown, the storage tank 7 has a multi-layer structure, consisting of an outer body 19, a sandwich layer 20, and an inner liner 21 from the outside to the inside.

[0031] In this embodiment, the cooled compressed gas enters the storage tank 7 through the collection pipe, and the pressure gauge 22 at the bottle opening indicates the current pressure inside the storage tank.

[0032] Working principle: When operating inside the refrigerant filling workshop, the gas inside the workshop first enters the compression device 2 through the conduit 1 on the left side of the compression device 2. After compression, the gas enters the filter device 4 through the conduit 1 on the right side of the compression device 2 for filtration. After filtration, the compressed gas enters the cooling device 5 through the conduit 1 at the outlet 26 for cooling. The cooled compressed gas enters the collection pipe 6 on the right side and finally enters the storage tank 7 for bottling.
