Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air compressor technology, specifically to an air compressor air-water separator with automatic drainage. Background Technology
[0002] An air compressor is a device used to compress gases. Air compressors are similar in construction to water pumps. Most air compressors are reciprocating piston, rotary vane, or rotary screw types.
[0003] Air compressors are equipped with air-water separators. However, in existing technologies, a large amount of liquid accumulates inside the air-water separator after a period of use, which usually requires manual drainage by the staff, increasing the labor intensity of the staff. Therefore, we have introduced an air compressor air-water separator with automatic drainage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air compressor gas-water separator with automatic drainage, which not only automatically drains water, reducing the labor intensity of workers, but also reduces the amount of gas discharged through the liquid outlet pipe during drainage, thus improving the performance and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic drainage air compressor air-water separator includes a separator body with a square cross-section. An air outlet pipe is located at the upper end of the separator body, and a liquid outlet pipe is located at the bottom of the separator body. An air inlet pipe is located on the side wall of the separator body. An air outlet pipe blocking mechanism is located inside the separator body below the air inlet pipe, and a liquid outlet pipe blocking mechanism is located at the liquid outlet pipe. A linkage mechanism is provided between the air outlet pipe blocking mechanism and the liquid outlet pipe blocking mechanism.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the exhaust pipe blocking mechanism includes an upper baffle plate, which is disposed inside the separator body at the lower side of the intake pipe. The upper end of the upper baffle plate is provided with circular grooves on both sides of the intake pipe. A sliding rod is slidably disposed in the circular groove. The upper end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the separator body. The rod wall of the sliding rod is provided with a strip-shaped hole. An anti-detachment rod is slidably disposed inside the lower side of the strip-shaped hole. Both ends of the anti-detachment rod are fixedly connected to the circular groove. A spring is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the circular groove.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the liquid outlet pipe blocking mechanism includes a rectangular column, which is slidably disposed inside the liquid outlet pipe. Both ends of the rectangular column extend to the outside of the liquid outlet pipe, and a lower baffle is fixedly provided at the lower end of the rectangular column.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the linkage mechanism includes a motor, which is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the separator body. The output end of the motor extends through the interior of the separator body and is fixedly mounted with a rotating rod. Both ends of the rotating rod are hinged to connecting rods, and the other ends of the two connecting rods are respectively hinged to the bottom of the upper baffle and the upper end of the rectangular column.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this invention, a sealed bearing is provided between the output shaft of the motor and the separator body.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a sealing ring is fixedly provided at the upper edge of the lower baffle.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this invention, the sealing ring is configured as a corrosion-resistant rubber ring.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This automatic drainage air compressor gas-liquid separator, consisting of a separator body, liquid outlet pipe, lower baffle, motor, air inlet pipe, air outlet pipe, sliding rod, upper baffle, rectangular column, sealing ring, anti-detachment rod, spring, rotating rod, and connecting rod, operates by a water level sensor. When the water level reaches a specified height, the motor is activated. The motor's output drives the rotating rod to rotate, which, through two connecting rods, moves the upper and lower baffles away from each other. As the upper baffle rises, the sliding rod slides into the circular groove and compresses the spring. When the upper baffle completely blocks the air inlet pipe, it prevents the gas-liquid mixture from entering the separator body. Simultaneously, the lower baffle opens for automatic drainage. This not only automatically drains water, reducing the workload of workers, but also minimizes gas leakage through the liquid outlet pipe during drainage, improving efficiency.

[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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0022] An automatic drainage air compressor air-water separator includes a separator body 1 with a square cross-section. An air outlet pipe 6 is provided at the upper end of the separator body 1, and a liquid outlet pipe 2 is provided at the bottom of the separator body 1. An air inlet pipe 5 is provided on the side wall of the separator body 1. An air outlet pipe blocking mechanism is provided inside the separator body 1 below the air inlet pipe 5, and a liquid outlet pipe blocking mechanism is provided at the liquid outlet pipe 2. A linkage mechanism is provided between the air outlet pipe blocking mechanism and the liquid outlet pipe blocking mechanism.
[0023] The exhaust pipe blocking mechanism includes an upper baffle 8, which is located inside the separator body 1 and below the intake pipe 5. The upper end of the upper baffle 8 is provided with a circular groove on both sides of the intake pipe 5. A sliding rod 7 is slidably provided in the circular groove. The upper end of the sliding rod 7 is fixedly connected to the separator body 1. The rod wall of the sliding rod 7 is provided with a strip-shaped hole. An anti-detachment rod 11 is slidably provided inside the lower side of the strip-shaped hole. Both ends of the anti-detachment rod 11 are fixedly connected to the circular groove. A spring 12 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the circular groove.
[0024] The liquid outlet pipe blocking mechanism includes a rectangular column 9, which is slidably disposed inside the liquid outlet pipe 2. Both ends of the rectangular column 9 extend to the outside of the liquid outlet pipe 2. A lower baffle 3 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the rectangular column 9, and a sealing ring 10 is fixedly provided at the upper edge of the lower baffle 3. The sealing ring 10 improves the sealing effect and is made of corrosion-resistant rubber ring with a long service life.
[0025] The linkage mechanism includes a motor 4, which is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the separator body 1. The output end of the motor 4 extends into the interior of the separator body 1 and is fixedly provided with a rotating rod 13. Both ends of the rotating rod 13 are hinged to connecting rods 14. The other ends of the two connecting rods 14 are respectively hinged to the bottom of the upper baffle 8 and the upper end of the rectangular column 9. A sealed bearing is provided between the output shaft of the motor 4 and the separator body 1 to improve the sealing performance.
[0026] The separator body is equipped with a water level sensor.
[0027] When automatic drainage is required, the water level sensor detects that the water level has reached the specified height and starts the motor 4. The output end of the motor 4 drives the rotating rod 13 to rotate. The rotating rod 13 drives the upper baffle 8 and the lower baffle 3 to move away from each other through two connecting rods 14. As the upper baffle 8 rises, the sliding rod 7 slides into the circular groove and squeezes the spring 12. When the upper baffle 8 completely blocks the air inlet pipe 5, it can prevent the gas-liquid mixture from entering the separator body 1. At the same time, the lower baffle 3 opens to automatically drain water. This not only automatically drains water, reducing the labor intensity of the workers, but also reduces the amount of gas discharged through the liquid outlet pipe during drainage, thus improving the efficiency of use.
[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
