Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of natural gas separation and liquid separation technology, and in particular to a natural gas separation and liquid separation device. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread use of natural gas, it is necessary to separate and separate natural gas into liquids during the processing of natural gas. Natural gas separation and separation refers to the process of separating natural gas from the liquids mixed in it (such as water, liquid hydrocarbons, etc.). The principle is mainly based on the differences in physical properties between gas and liquid, such as differences in density and solubility. Gases are usually less dense than liquids, and the two can be separated by gravity sedimentation or centrifugal separation.
[0003] Existing natural gas separation and liquid separation devices often use multiple layers of parallel umbrella-shaped plates to separate natural gas into liquids during operation. This makes it difficult to change the movement trajectory of the natural gas, resulting in poor separation between the natural gas and the liquid. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing natural gas separation and liquid separation devices, which often use multiple parallel umbrella-shaped plates to separate natural gas during use, making it difficult to change the movement trajectory of the natural gas and resulting in poor separation between the natural gas and the liquid. Therefore, this invention proposes a natural gas separation and liquid separation device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A natural gas separation and liquid separation device, comprising: The tank has an air inlet connected to the middle of one side of its outer wall, and a baffle fixed to the middle of one side of its inner wall. A movable plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the baffle, and the movable plate is connected to the baffle by a spring. First umbrella plates are connected to the upper and lower inner sides of the tank, and a fixed frame is installed in the middle of the inner side of the tank. A second umbrella plate is spirally connected to the inner side of the fixed frame. A defoaming screen is installed on the upper inner side of the tank, and an air outlet is installed on the upper outer wall of the tank. A liquid level sensor is installed on the lower inner side of the tank, and a liquid level display is connected to the lower outer wall of the tank. The liquid level display and the liquid level sensor are electrically connected.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the tank is connected to a base, and a liquid outlet is connected to the lower side of one side of the outer wall of the tank. An inspection port is provided in the middle of the front of the tank.
[0007] Preferably, the baffle has an L-shaped structure, and the baffle and the movable plate form an elastic structure through a spring.
[0008] Preferably, the surfaces of both the first umbrella plate and the second umbrella plate are configured with a mesh structure.
[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the fixing frame is provided with a spiral groove, and the fixing frame has a circular structure.
[0010] Preferably, the second umbrella plate forms a rotating structure with the fixed frame through a spiral groove.
[0011] Preferably, the movable plate is composed of a straight plate and a wedge-shaped block, and the center line of the wedge-shaped block coincides with the center line of the baffle.
[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. In this utility model, by setting up the first umbrella plate, the second umbrella plate, the baffle, etc., when the air inlet is used to introduce natural gas, the baffle obstructs the natural gas and changes its direction of movement. This causes the liquid to fall due to its own gravity, and the natural gas, which contains a small amount of liquid, continues to move upward, which can push the second umbrella plate to move. This causes the second umbrella plate to move upward in a spiral relative to the fixed frame, thereby changing the secondary movement trajectory. This allows the umbrella plate assembly to separate more liquid from the natural gas, thus effectively improving the effect of the device in separating liquid from natural gas.

[0015] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0016] Reference Figure 1-4A natural gas separation and liquid separation device includes a tank 1. An air inlet 4 is connected to the middle of one side of the outer wall of the tank 1, and a baffle 6 is fixed to the middle of one side of the inner wall of the tank 1. A movable plate 15 is slidably connected to the inner side of the baffle 6, and the movable plate 15 is connected to the baffle 6 via a spring 16. The baffle 6 has an L-shaped structure, and the baffle 6 and the movable plate 15 form an elastic structure via the spring 16. When the flow rate and velocity of the natural gas entering through the air inlet 4 are large, it can push the movable plate 15, causing it to move downward relative to the baffle 6. This extends the overall length of both, facilitating the change of the movement trajectory of the large flow of natural gas. The movable plate 15 is composed of a straight plate and a wedge-shaped block, with the center line of the wedge-shaped block coinciding with the center line of the baffle 6. The incoming natural gas impacts the wedge-shaped block, causing it to move the straight plate downward, thus moving the movable plate 15 downward as a whole, facilitating the change of the movement direction of the large flow of natural gas. The upper inner side and inner side of the tank 1... The tank 1 is equipped with a first umbrella plate 7 on its lower side and a fixed frame 9 is installed in the middle of its inner side. The second umbrella plate 8 is spirally connected to the inner side of the fixed frame 9. A defoaming net 12 is installed on the upper inner side of the tank 1 and an outlet 13 is installed on the upper outer wall of the tank 1. The surfaces of the first umbrella plate 7 and the second umbrella plate 8 are both designed with a mesh structure. The umbrella plate group formed by the first umbrella plate 7 and the second umbrella plate 8 can separate the liquid contained in the natural gas, so that the liquid gathers at the bottom of the umbrella plate and then falls. The inner wall of the fixed frame 9 is provided with a spiral groove 14 and the fixed frame 9 is in the form of a ring structure. The second umbrella plate 8 forms a rotating structure with the fixed frame 9 through the spiral groove 14. When the natural gas containing a small amount of liquid moves upward, it can push the second umbrella plate 8 to move, so that the second umbrella plate 8 moves spirally upward relative to the fixed frame 9, which can realize the second movement trajectory change of the natural gas, so that the umbrella plate group can separate more liquid from the natural gas. A base 2 is connected to the bottom of the tank body 1, and a liquid outlet 5 is connected to the lower side of the outer wall of the tank body 1. The liquid outlet 5 is mainly for facilitating the discharge of liquid when it reaches a certain level. An inspection port 3 is provided in the middle of the front of the tank body 1. The inspection port 3 facilitates the maintenance and repair of the internal parts of the device. A liquid level sensor 10 is installed on the lower inner side of the tank body 1, and a liquid level display 11 is connected to the lower outer wall of the tank body 1. The liquid level display 11 and the liquid level sensor 10 are electrically connected. By observing the liquid level display 11, people can open the liquid outlet 5 in time to discharge the liquid. The liquid level display 11 and the liquid level sensor 10 are existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail.
[0017] Working principle: In use, the operator first introduces natural gas into the tank 1 through the inlet 4. When a large flow of natural gas enters, it pushes the movable plate 15, causing the movable plate 15 to move downward relative to the baffle 6. This extends the overall length of both plates, causing the natural gas to be obstructed by the baffle 6 and the movable plate 15. The liquid gathers on the baffle 6 and falls under its own gravity, and the natural gas changes its direction of movement for the first time. Subsequently, the natural gas moves upward, which pushes the second umbrella plate 8 to move, causing the second umbrella plate 8 to move spirally upward relative to the fixed frame 9. This achieves a second change in the trajectory of the natural gas, allowing the umbrella plate assembly to separate more liquid from the natural gas. Then, it passes through the defoaming screen 12 and is discharged through the outlet 13. (It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the electrical components involved in this solution need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation methods adopt existing technology in this field, so they will not be described in detail.)

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
