Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of oil-water separation equipment technology, and in particular to a detection device for an oil-water separator. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, oil-water separation equipment is a device specifically designed to separate oil and water from gases or liquids, and is widely used in industrial production, environmental protection, and equipment maintenance. It effectively removes oil and water from mixed media through principles such as gravity separation, centrifugal separation, filtration separation, or condensation separation, thereby purifying the medium, protecting downstream equipment from corrosion and wear, improving the quality of process products, and reducing environmental pollution from waste.
[0003] These contaminants may originate from lubricating oil leaks, condensate produced during compressor operation, or humidity in the air. To ensure the purity and quality of the gas, a device capable of effectively removing these contaminants is needed.
[0004] A Chinese patent with publication number CN221788587U discloses an oil-water separation and filtration device for high-pressure gas. The main oil-water separator has a filter cylinder assembly in its inner cavity, which includes a first filter cylinder, a second filter cylinder, and a third filter cylinder coaxially mounted. Each of the three filter cylinders has multiple vent holes. A secondary oil-water separator is connected to the main oil-water separator. The secondary oil-water separator has a filter core in its inner cavity, which is made of PPE material. A drip cup assembly for receiving and storing oil is also provided below the main oil-water separator.
[0005] In related technologies, high-pressure gas output from an air compressor enters the inner cavity of the main oil-water separator through a pipeline connected to the mixed gas inlet on the main top cover. The mixed gas comes into full contact with the walls of the first, second, and third filter cartridges, and the liquefied oil drips to the bottom of the cartridges. The pre-filtered air enters the inner cavity of the filter cartridge core through the connection channel between the main top cover and the auxiliary top cover. Under the action of high-pressure gas, the gas passes through the side wall of the filter cartridge core, while a small amount of moisture in the air is adsorbed on the filter cartridge core, which serves to dry the air. The dried air is then discharged from the air outlet on the auxiliary oil-water separator.
[0006] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that after prolonged use, the internal filter element of the oil-water separator will fail, thereby affecting the separation effect of oil and water in the gas. Utility Model Content
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a detection device for an oil-water separator, which solves the technical problem that after long-term use, the internal filter element of the oil-water separator will fail as the usage time increases, thereby affecting the separation effect of oil and water in the gas.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0009] A detection device for an oil-water separator includes an oil-water separator body, a filter chamber formed within the oil-water separator body, an air inlet and an air outlet formed on the oil-water separator body, both of which are connected to the filter chamber, a detection port formed on the oil-water separator body, the detection port being connected to the air outlet, a detector disposed on the oil-water separator body, and a connecting assembly disposed on the oil-water separator body for mounting the detector on the side of the oil-water separator body near the detection port; an alarm element disposed on the detector for emitting an alarm signal.
[0010] Furthermore, the connection assembly includes a connecting pipe, one end of which is connected to the oil-water separator body, and the other end extends away from the oil-water separator body, with the detection part formed on the connecting pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, the detector is provided with a connecting rod, one end of which forms a detection port, and the connecting rod has an external thread, while the connecting pipe has an internal thread, and the connecting rod is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, a support plate is provided inside the connecting pipe, and a ball is provided on one side of the support plate. A support spring is provided between the ball and the support plate. One end of the support spring is connected to the support plate, and the other end is connected to the ball. The ball is pressed against the connecting pipe.
[0013] Furthermore, a supporting inclined surface is formed on the connecting pipe, and a sealing gasket is provided on the ball plug, with the sealing gasket pressing against the supporting inclined surface.
[0014] Furthermore, the support plate is provided with ventilation holes, and a plurality of ventilation holes are spaced apart on the support plate, and all of the ventilation holes are connected to the detection port.
[0015] Furthermore, the alarm device includes a signal transmitting module, which is mounted on the detector and is connected to the mobile device via a signal.
[0016] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects of a detection device for an oil-water separator:
[0017] 1. Install the detector on the side of the oil-water separator body near the detection port via the connecting assembly. During use, the gas to be treated enters the filter chamber through the air inlet on the oil-water separator body. After being filtered by the oil-water separator body, the gas is discharged from the air outlet. The detector detects the gas discharged from the air outlet. When the detector detects that the discharged gas contains oil and water, the detector will sound an alarm to the operator. This allows the operator to replace the internal filter element in a timely manner if it fails after prolonged use, thus improving the separation effect of oil and water in the gas.
[0018] 2. The internal threads on the connecting pipe and the external threads on the connecting rod improve the ease of installing the detector on the oil-water separator body;
[0019] 3. The gas detection efficiency of the detector is improved by using a support spring to press the ball against the connecting pipe and by setting vent holes on the support plate. Attached Figure Description

[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0027] This application discloses a detection device for an oil-water separator.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-2 A detection device for an oil-water separator includes an oil-water separator body 1, a filter chamber 11 formed within the oil-water separator body 1, and an air inlet 12 and an air outlet 13 formed on the oil-water separator body 1, both of which are connected to the filter chamber 11. A detection port 14 is formed on the oil-water separator body 1, connected to the air outlet 13. A detector 2 is disposed on the side of the oil-water separator body 1 near the detection port 14, and the detector 2 detects the gas passing through the air outlet 13. A connecting assembly 3 and an alarm element 4 are disposed on the oil-water separator body 1. The detector 2 is mounted on the oil-water separator body 1 via the connecting assembly 3, and the detector 2 issues an alarm to the operator via the alarm element 4.
[0029] In use, the gas to be treated enters through the air inlet 12 of the oil-water separator body 1, and after being filtered by the oil-water separator body 1, the gas is discharged through the air outlet 13.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 The connecting assembly 3 includes a connecting pipe 31, one end of which is integrally formed with the oil-water separator body 1, and the other end extends away from the oil-water separator body 1. A connecting rod 21 is provided on the detector 2, one end of which is connected to the detector 2, and the other end extends away from the detector 2. A detection part 22 is formed on the end of the connecting rod 21 away from the detector 2. In use, the detection part 22 on the detector 2 is inserted into the detection port 14 of the connecting pipe 31 to detect the gas at the outlet 13. To improve the ease of installing the detector 2 on the oil-water separator body 1, an internal thread 32 is formed on the inner side of the connecting pipe 31, and an external thread 23 is formed on the connecting rod 21. When detecting the detector 2, the thread on the connecting rod 21 connects with the internal thread 32 on the connecting pipe 31. In use, the detector 2 can be installed simply by rotating it.
[0031] Reference Figure 4 When the detector 2 detects that the gas in the outlet 13 contains excessive oil or water, the alarm 4 on the detector 2 will send an alarm to the staff. The alarm 4 includes a signal transmitting module 41, which is connected to the mobile device via a signal. Preferably, the mobile device includes a mobile phone and a computer. When the staff receives the fault signal sent by the signal transmitting module 41, the staff can replace the filter element in the oil-water separator body 1 in a timely manner.
[0032] Reference Figure 3During use, in order to replace detector 2, a support plate 33 is provided inside the connecting pipe 31. The support plate 33 is installed on the connecting pipe 31. In addition, a plug ball 34 is provided on the side of the support plate 33 near detector 2, and a support spring 35 is provided between the support plate 33 and the plug ball 34. One end of the support spring 35 is connected to the support plate 33, and the other end is connected to the plug ball 34. During use, the support spring 35 presses the plug ball 34 against the connecting pipe 31, thereby reducing gas leakage from the detection port 14 when detector 2 is replaced.
[0033] Furthermore, a supporting inclined surface 36 is formed inside the connecting pipe 31, facing the side closest to the plug ball 34. A sealing gasket 341 is provided on the plug ball 34, and the sealing gasket 341 is annular in shape. During use, the sealing gasket 341 is pressed against the supporting inclined surface 36 of the connecting pipe 31 by the supporting spring 35. This improves the sealing performance between the plug ball 34 and the connecting pipe 31. In addition, several vent holes 331 are provided on the support plate 33, spaced apart, and all of these vent holes 331 are connected to the detection port 14, allowing the gas filtered by the oil-water separator body 1 to enter the detection port 14.
[0034] When installing detector 2, as detector 2 rotates, the connecting rod 21 on detector 2 presses the plug ball 34 towards the side closer to the support plate 33. At this time, the support spring 35 is compressed under the action of the plug ball 34. After the plug ball 34 separates from the support slope 36 on the connecting pipe 31, the filtered gas enters the detection port 14 through the vent 331. When it is necessary to remove detector 2, rotate detector 2 away from the side of the oil-water separator body 1. At the same time, the plug ball 34 is pressed against the support slope 36 of the connecting pipe 31 under the action of the support spring 35, thereby sealing the detection port 14.
[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
