Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of gas-water separation equipment, and more specifically, to a gas-water separator. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production and various fluid systems, gas-liquid separation is a crucial step in ensuring efficient system operation and preventing equipment damage due to water vapor interference. Traditional gas-liquid separators often employ a simple combination of gravity settling and mechanical valves. However, this type of separator has significant drawbacks in practical applications:

[0003] 1) Conventional float assemblies are mostly made of a single material or have a simple cavity structure. They lack precise design for the float's own buoyancy, weight, and sealing stability, resulting in poor sealing effect at the drain outlet, easy air leakage, and affecting the purity of air-water separation.

[0004] The floating and sinking response of the float is not stable enough and is greatly affected by fluctuations in water quality and water volume. It is impossible to accurately control the timing and duration of drainage, making it difficult for the separator to work continuously and efficiently under complex working conditions. It is difficult to meet the requirements of high gas-water separation accuracy and stability. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a gas-water separator with a more reasonable structural design and more stable and reliable operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gas-water separator to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background.

[0006] This utility model provides a gas-water separator, including a separator bottle and a float assembly. The top of the separator bottle has a separator cap with a gas-water mixture inlet and a gas outlet. The bottom of the separator bottle has a drain outlet. The float assembly is located inside the separator bottle and includes a float. The bottom of the float has a groove that matches a protrusion inside the separator bottle. Under normal conditions, the float engages with the protrusion of the separator bottle through the groove to seal the drain outlet.

[0007] In one embodiment of this utility model, the float ball is provided with a float inside, the float is made of PP material and a leavening agent, and the specific gravity of the float is less than that of water.

[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, the float is filled with a certain volume of water. The float relies on the relationship between the buoyancy generated by the water accumulation in the separator bottle and its own weight to either float up to open the drain or sink down to seal the drain.

[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, the gas-water mixture inlet is used for the gas-water mixture to enter, the gas outlet is used for the gas to be discharged after separation, and the drain outlet is used for the water to be discharged after separation.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the volume of water filled inside the float is fixed, so that the weight of the float is constant.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the float assembly is located inside the separator bottle. By means of water deposition and discharge, and through changes in buoyancy and gravity, the opening and closing of the drain outlet is controlled, thereby achieving gas-water separation and drainage control.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1) The separator bottle body and float assembly of this utility model are precisely matched through the bottom groove of the float and the internal protrusion of the bottle body. Under normal conditions, it can reliably seal the drain outlet. Compared with the traditional simple mechanical seal structure, the matching method of this utility model uses the physical cooperation between the structures to improve the sealing stability from the hardware level, effectively solve the problem of easy air leakage of traditional separators, ensure the purity of gas after gas-water separation, and meet the requirements of high airtightness scenarios. In addition, the float is equipped with a float of a specific weight inside the float. Combined with the internal water filling design, the weight and buoyancy of the float are more precisely controlled, further enhancing the reliability of sealing and opening, so that the separator can operate stably under different working conditions.

[0014] 2) The float of this invention is filled with a fixed volume of water to ensure a constant weight. Combined with the specific gravity design of the float, the floating and sinking of the float is only related to the amount of water in the bottle and is not affected by other complex factors. When the amount of water reaches a certain level and the buoyancy is greater than the weight of the float, it floats up precisely to open the drain. After the water is discharged, it can sink stably and seal by gravity. The stable response mechanism solves the problems of inaccurate drainage timing and low separation efficiency caused by the unstable control of the float in traditional separators. It makes the gas-water separation process continuously efficient. Whether in miniaturized equipment or complex fluid systems, it can reliably realize gas-water separation and drainage control, and improve the operational stability and efficiency of the entire fluid system.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a gas-water separator, including a separator bottle body 100 and a float assembly 200. The separator bottle body 100 has a top separator cover 101 with a gas-water mixture inlet 110 and a gas outlet 120. The bottom of the separator bottle body 100 has a drain outlet 130. The float assembly 200 is located inside the separator bottle body 100 and includes a float 210. The bottom of the float 210 has a groove 220 that matches the protrusion 140 inside the separator bottle body 100. Under normal conditions, the float 210 engages with the protrusion 140 of the separator bottle body 100 through the groove 220 to seal the drain outlet 130.

[0025] Specifically, in industrial production and various fluid systems, taking electrolytic hydrogen production as an example, the gas-water mixture generated during electrolysis enters through the gas-water mixture inlet 110 at the top of the separator bottle 100. The separator bottle 100 serves as the main cavity for gas-water separation, providing space for subsequent separation processes. Due to the density difference between the generated hydrogen gas and water, the water settles at the bottom of the bottle under gravity, while the gas rises and is eventually discharged from the top gas outlet 120, entering the gas supply end of the pneumatic equipment. The float assembly 200 initially... In the initial state, the float 210 is located at the bottom of the separator bottle 100. The bottom groove 220 of the float 210 precisely matches the protrusion 140 inside the separator bottle 100, sealing the drain port 130 to prevent the leakage of unseparated gas. Through the structural design of the separator bottle 100 and the initial sealing cooperation of the float assembly 200, the basic operating environment for gas-water separation is established, allowing the mixture to initially separate into layers by gravity in a relatively enclosed space. This lays the groundwork for subsequent precise separation and drainage control, ensuring the initial gas-water separation effect in the early stage of gas supply.

[0026] In this embodiment: the float 210 is provided with a float 230 inside. The float 230 is made of PP material and a leavening agent. The specific gravity of the float 230 is less than that of water. The float 230 is sealed inside the float 210 by the float bottle cap 240.

[0027] Specifically, as the gas-water mixture continuously enters the separator bottle 100, and as water continues to accumulate, the float assembly 200 begins to operate. The float 230 inside the float 210 is made of PP material and a leavening agent. When the water deposited in the separator bottle 100 gradually submerges the float 210, the float 230, due to its low specific gravity, will be the first to be affected by buoyancy and tend to rise. Because the float 230 has low density characteristics, it can sensitively sense changes in water level, making the float 210 more sensitive to water. Unlike traditional single metal or plastic floats, it will not be unable to trigger buoyancy even when the water level is high due to its excessive specific gravity. The float assembly 200 can respond to the water level in a timely manner, providing reliable triggering conditions for subsequent drainage operations, thus improving the separator's adaptability to complex working conditions from the perspective of structural materials.

[0028] In this embodiment: the float 210 is filled with a certain volume of water. The float 210 relies on the relationship between the buoyancy generated by the water accumulation in the separator bottle 100 and its own weight to either float up to open the drain outlet 130 or sink down to seal the drain outlet 130.

[0029] Specifically, as the amount of water accumulated inside the separator bottle 100 increases, the working state of the float 210 continuously changes. The float 210 is filled with a fixed volume of water, making its own weight constant. When the buoyancy generated by the accumulated water is less than the total weight of the float 210 and the weight of the water inside, the float 210 maintains the seal between the bottom groove 220 and the protrusion 140 of the separator bottle 100, and the drain port 130 is closed to ensure one-way gas discharge. When the moisture in the gas source continues to condense and accumulate, the amount of water reaches a critical value, the buoyancy is greater than the total weight of the float, the float 210 begins to float, the groove 220 separates from the protrusion 140, the drain port 130 opens to drain water, and when the water level drops and the buoyancy is insufficient, the float 210 sinks again due to its own weight, resealing the drain port 130. This allows for precise matching of changes in the water content of the gas source, avoiding the problem of accidental or non-drainage caused by the unstable weight of the float in traditional separators.

[0030] In this embodiment: the gas-water mixture inlet 110 is used for the gas-water mixture to enter, the gas outlet 120 is used for the gas to be discharged after separation, and the drain outlet 130 is used for the water to be discharged after separation.

[0031] Specifically, when the gas containing moisture enters the separator bottle 100 from the gas-water mixture inlet 110 for separation, the separated dry gas is precisely discharged from the gas outlet 120, ensuring efficient gas-water separation.

[0032] In this embodiment, the volume of water filled inside the float 210 is fixed, so that the weight of the float 210 is constant.

[0033] Specifically, since the weight of the float 210 is constant, the balance between buoyancy and gravity between it and the water volume in the separator bottle 100 remains stable under different operating conditions, and there will be no chaotic situation where "the float sometimes floats and sometimes does not float under the same water volume due to changes in the weight of the float 210".

[0034] In this embodiment: the float assembly 200 is inside the separator bottle 100. With the help of water deposition and discharge, the buoyancy and gravity changes control the opening and closing of the drain outlet 130, thereby realizing gas-water separation and drainage control.

[0035] Specifically, when the gas-water mixture continuously enters the separator bottle 100, water deposition triggers the float 210 to sense the water level. Subsequently, the float 210 rises to open the drain outlet 130 and sinks to close the drain outlet 130. After each drainage, the water level in the separator bottle 100 drops back down, and the float 210 reseals, forming a feedback mechanism to ensure the high efficiency of gas-water separation.
