Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of diversion tray technology, and in particular to a distillation column tray for removing drilling fluid toxicity. Background Technology
[0002] Drilling fluid is a type of treatment agent used to reduce flow resistance and cake resistance, decrease drill bit torque, increase hydraulic horsepower, and prevent sticking. It is synthesized from base oils and various additives. Environmentally friendly and non-toxic drilling fluid is a new type of drilling fluid system developed to solve the pollution problems caused to soil, water, and organisms by traditional drilling fluids (such as oil-based drilling fluids). Existing drilling lubricants are generally selected from mixtures of C10 to C18, and these mixtures all have strong toxicity.
[0003] A distillation column is a tower-type gas-liquid contact device used for distillation. It utilizes the fact that the components in a mixture have different volatility, i.e., different vapor pressures at the same temperature, to transfer lighter components from the liquid phase to the gas phase, while heavier components from the gas phase are transferred to the liquid phase, thereby achieving separation. Distillation columns are also a widely used mass and heat transfer device in petrochemical production.
[0004] However, there are some problems with the use of trays in distillation columns. When the valve plates of traditional trays are damaged, the toxicity of the mixture of C10 to C18 is not completely removed, and the entire tray needs to be replaced, which increases the overall cost of the tray and reduces its practicality. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention addresses the drawback of traditional distillation column trays for removing drilling fluid toxicity, which require complete tray replacement after damage to the valve plate components, thus increasing the overall cost of the tray.
[0006] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A distillation column tray for removing drilling fluid toxicity includes a split tray body and valve plates. The split tray body is a horizontally arranged disc-shaped structure with a notch on one side. An overflow weir is provided at the top of the split tray body at the notch. Multiple valve holes are arranged in an array at intervals on the split tray body. A tube is sleeved in each valve hole. A central tube is provided at the center of the tube cavity. The upper end of the central tube is flush with the top of the split tray body. A guide ring is provided at the top of the central tube cavity. The valve plate has a horizontal bottom and a convex top structure. A sliding rod is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the valve plate. The sliding rod is slidably connected in the annular hole of the guide ring. The valve plate rests on the top of the tube. A guide plate is provided at the top of the split tray body. The guide plate has a concave top center and a horizontal bottom structure. A funnel-shaped guide hole is provided on the guide plate at the position corresponding to the valve hole.
[0008] The distillation column trays used to remove drilling fluid toxicity have arc-shaped plates at the notches of the diversion trays, so that the area enclosed by the arc-shaped plates and the diversion trays forms a downcomer.
[0009] The distillation column trays used to remove drilling fluid toxicity have multiple connecting columns spaced around the central tube between the tube shell and the central tube.
[0010] The distillation column trays used to remove drilling fluid toxicity have a limiting plate at the lower end of the slide bar.
[0011] The distillation column tray for removing drilling fluid toxicity has an annular groove at the upper end of the valve hole and a protruding ring at the upper end of the outer wall of the tube. The protruding ring is located in the annular groove and supports the tube in the valve hole.
[0012] The distillation column tray used to remove drilling fluid toxicity has a tube with the same length as the valve orifice. A slightly outwardly radiating elastic limiting plate is provided at the lower end of the tube, which holds the tube in place within the valve orifice.
[0013] The diameter of the valve plate in the distillation column tray used to remove drilling fluid toxicity is larger than the outer diameter of the tube and smaller than the diameter of the guide hole.
[0014] Based on common knowledge in the field, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be combined arbitrarily to obtain various preferred embodiments of this utility model.
[0015] This invention addresses the drawback of traditional distillation column trays for removing drilling fluid toxicity, which require complete tray replacement after damage to the valve plate components, thus increasing the overall cost of the tray.
[0016] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] The distillation column tray for removing drilling fluid toxicity proposed above has a tube inserted into the valve orifice. An elastic limiting block fixedly connected to the bottom end of the tube passes through the valve orifice and fits against the bottom surface of the distillation column tray. At the same time, the tube is fixed at both ends by the cooperation of the annular groove and the protruding ring, ensuring the tube is placed stably. When disassembling, the tube can be easily removed by moving the elastic limiting block and pushing it upward. This facilitates the replacement of valve plates and moving parts without replacing the entire column tray, reducing maintenance costs. It effectively controls the diversion effect, enabling the distillation column tray to effectively divert toxic substances from the C10 to C18 mixture by utilizing different boiling points under continuous health conditions.
[0018] The guide plate is attached to the top side of the diversion tower plate for easy replacement. The inner groove of the guide plate facilitates the flow of liquid on the surface of the guide plate through the guide hole to the top side of the valve hole. At the same time, it avoids a small amount of liquid remaining on the top side of the flat diversion tower plate, which facilitates full contact between the liquid and the gas, so that the toxicity of the C10 to C18 mixture can be separated and removed as soon as possible by utilizing the difference in boiling point.

[0033] Combined with appendix Figures 1-4The distillation column tray for removing drilling fluid toxicity includes a diversion tray body 1 and valve plates 11. The diversion tray body 1 is a horizontally arranged disc-shaped structure with a notch on one side. An overflow weir 2 is provided at the top of the diversion tray body 1 at the notch. An arc-shaped plate 3 is provided at the notch of the diversion tray body 1, forming a downcomer 301 in the area enclosed by the arc-shaped plate 3 and the diversion tray body 1. Multiple valve holes 101 are arranged in an array at intervals on the diversion tray body 1. A tube 4 is sleeved in each valve hole 101. An annular groove 10 is provided at the upper end of the valve hole 101. A protruding ring 12 is provided at the upper end of the outer wall of the tube 4. The protruding ring 12 is located in the annular groove 10 and supports the tube 4 in the valve hole 101. The length of the tube 4 is the same as the length of the valve hole 101. A slightly outwardly diverging elastic limiting plate 14 is provided at the lower end of the tube 4. The elastic limiting plate 14 holds the tube 4 in place. The cylinder 4 is fitted into the valve hole 101. A central tube 6 is provided at the center of the cylinder cavity provided in the cylinder 4. Multiple connecting columns 5 are provided at intervals around the central tube 6 between the cylinder 4 and the central tube 6. The upper end of the central tube 6 is flush with the top of the diversion tower plate 1. A guide ring 13 is provided at the top of the cavity 601 of the central tube 6. The valve plate 11 has a horizontal bottom and a convex top structure. A sliding rod 9 is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the valve plate 11. The sliding rod 9 is slidably connected in the annular hole provided in the guide ring 13. A limiting plate 8 is provided at the lower end of the sliding rod 9. The valve plate 11 is supported on the top of the cylinder 4. A diversion plate 7 is provided at the top of the diversion tower plate 1. The diversion plate 7 has a concave top center and a horizontal bottom structure. A funnel-shaped guide hole 702 is provided on the diversion plate 7 at the position corresponding to the valve hole 101. The diameter of the valve plate 11 is larger than the outer diameter of the cylinder 4 and smaller than the diameter of the guide hole 702.
[0034] Implementing the distillation column tray for removing drilling fluid toxicity as described in this utility model, combined with the attached... Figure 5In the cavity 16 of the tower body 15, multiple units of this utility model are arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom and symmetrically on the left and right sides. After the guide plate 7 is attached to the top of the distribution tower plate 1, the liquid on the surface of the guide plate 7 is easily guided into the valve hole 101 through the guide hole 702 by the set guide groove 701, while avoiding a small amount of liquid remaining on the top of the flat distribution tower plate 1, so as to facilitate the full contact between the liquid and the gas. The top of the valve plate 11 is arc-shaped to avoid liquid residue on the top of the valve plate 11, and the bottom of the valve plate 11 is flat to facilitate the valve plate 11 to be attached to the top of the distribution tower plate 1. When the liquid phase of the previous layer of this utility model flows to this layer of this utility model through the downcomer 301, the liquid phase will accumulate on the surface of the tower plate until the liquid level exceeds the height of the overflow weir 2. The liquid phase will then cross the overflow weir 2 and flow to the lower layer of this utility model through the downcomer 301 of this layer. During installation, the tube 4 is inserted The elastic limiting piece 14, fixedly connected to the bottom end of the tube 4, passes through the valve hole 101 and fits against the bottom surface of the diversion tower plate 1. The protruding ring 12 engages in the annular groove 10 provided at the top of the valve hole 101, thus fixing both ends of the tube 4. When disassembling the tube 4, the elastic limiting piece 14 can be moved to push the tube 4 upward, which facilitates the replacement of the valve piece 11 without replacing the entire tower plate, reducing maintenance costs. During use, the valve piece 11 fits tightly against the diversion tower. The top of the plate 1 is covered by valve hole 101 to prevent liquid phase from leaking from valve hole 101 to the lower layer. When the gas phase below passes through valve hole 101, the gas phase pushes the valve plate 11 upward, lifting the valve plate 11 and opening valve hole 101. The gas phase then flows upward through valve hole 101 and rushes into the liquid layer on the surface of the diversion tower plate 1, forming bubbles and fully contacting the liquid phase to complete mass transfer. This facilitates full contact between the liquid and the gas, allowing the toxicity of the C10 to C18 mixture to be separated and removed as quickly as possible.
