Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sand removal devices, specifically a closed container jet sand removal device. Background Technology
[0002] During long-term use, closed containers such as oilfield storage tanks, chemical reaction vessels, and sewage treatment ponds may experience sand accumulation that wears down the inner walls of the equipment, clogs pipes and valves, and may also cause abnormal chemical reactions, exacerbate equipment corrosion, or even lead to container malfunctions, increased safety risks, and failure to meet process parameters. Therefore, regular cleaning and other methods are necessary to remove sand to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment and the normal operation of the process.
[0003] The closed-container jet sand removal device is an automated sand removal equipment that uses high-pressure jet impact and shearing to peel off sand particles adhering to the inner wall of the container, suspending them in the liquid. It then uses vortex flow to separate the sand particles from the liquid, discharging and collecting the separated sand particles. It features high efficiency, safety, and environmental protection, and is a revolutionary alternative to traditional manual sand removal.
[0004] Existing closed-container jet desanding devices require a high-pressure water pipe to be connected to the inlet to allow the high-pressure water, pressurized by a high-pressure pump, to enter the cyclone desander tangentially for sand-water separation. However, during long-term use, the sealing rings at the interface will wear, deform, or age due to the long-term impact or corrosion of the high-pressure water flow, losing their sealing effect. If not detected in time, this may lead to resource waste and environmental pollution. Furthermore, leakage of high-pressure media may form a jet stream, directly threatening the safety of operators. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the existing closed-container jet desanding devices. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a closed container jet sand removal device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sealed container jet sand removal device, comprising a device body, an inlet connector fixedly connected to the device body, and a leak-proof flange fitted on the inlet connector, a leak-proof groove opened at the bottom of the leak-proof flange, and a water storage box fixedly connected to the outer wall of the leak-proof flange, and the water storage box and the leak-proof flange are interconnected through the leak-proof groove, the water storage box has a built-in leak warning mechanism for automatically monitoring the leak at the water inlet connection of the device body, a drain groove opened on one side of the water storage box, and a drain mechanism slidably installed on the inner wall of the water storage box for draining the water accumulated in the water storage box;
[0007] The leakage warning mechanism includes a pressure warning component that is slidably installed on the inner wall of the water storage box, and a partition is fixedly installed inside the water storage box. A buoyancy mechanism is slidably installed on the partition to ensure that when water leaks at the water inlet connection of the main body of the device, the buoyancy mechanism floats up and applies pressure to the pressure warning component to issue a warning.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a cavity is formed at the inlet connection through the leak-proof flange to achieve a buffering and protective effect, avoiding the leakage of high-pressure media that could cause jetting and threaten the safety of operators. By setting up a buoyancy mechanism and a leak warning mechanism in the water storage box, when water leaks at the inlet connection, water enters the water storage box from the leak channel. As the float rises, it drives the pressure component to rise, gradually approaching the pressure warning component and applying pressure to it, causing it to sound an alarm. This promptly reminds the user to pay attention to the leak and to stop the machine for maintenance, controlling the leakage at the initial stage and thus avoiding greater losses. The internal partition of the water storage box can respond more quickly to the cooperation of the buoyancy mechanism and the pressure warning component, achieving high-efficiency water supply and drainage. The drainage mechanism on the inner wall of the water storage box also improves the convenience of drainage.
[0009] Furthermore, a water pipe connector is bolted to the outer wall of the water inlet connector, and a sealing gasket is fixedly installed between the water inlet connector and the water pipe connector.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the sealing gasket, the water inlet connection is kept sealed reliably, thereby reducing the risk of leakage.
[0011] Furthermore, the leak-proof flange includes a flange cover connected by bolts, and the inner diameter of the leak-proof flange is larger than the outer diameter of the water inlet connector.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a cavity is formed at the inlet connection through the leak-proof flange to achieve a buffering and protective effect, avoiding leakage of high-pressure media that could cause jetting and threaten the safety of operators.
[0013] Furthermore, the upper surface of the partition is designed with an incline, and the drainage groove is located on the side wall adjacent to the lowest point of the water storage box and the partition.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined design of the partition can more quickly respond to the cooperation of the buoyancy mechanism and the pressure warning component, thus achieving high water supply and drainage efficiency.
[0015] Furthermore, the buoyancy mechanism includes a connecting rod slidably mounted on the partition plate, with a float fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting rod and a pressure member fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when water leaks at the inlet connection, water enters the water storage box from the leak channel. As the float rises, it drives the pressure component to rise, and the pressure component gradually approaches the pressure warning component and applies pressure to it, causing it to sound an alarm.
[0017] Furthermore, the pressure-bearing warning component is located on the inner wall of the water storage box adjacent to the pressure component. The pressure component and the pressure-bearing warning component work together to apply pressure to the pressure-bearing warning component when the pressure component is being lifted and moved upward by the float.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, pressure is applied to the pressure warning component through the pressure component, causing it to issue an alarm. This promptly alerts the user to the water leakage and prompts them to stop the machine for maintenance, controlling the leakage at the initial stage and thus avoiding greater losses.
[0019] Furthermore, the drainage mechanism includes a drainage rod that is slidably installed on the inner wall of the water storage box, and a drainage block is fixedly installed at the top of the drainage rod. The bottom corner of the drainage block is designed with a bevel. A rubber plug is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the drainage rod, and the diameter of the rubber plug corresponds to the diameter of the drainage groove, but is smaller than the bottom diameter of the drainage rod.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the water storage box does not need to be drained, the drain rod and rubber plug can block the drain channel, thus avoiding affecting subsequent use.
[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0022] This invention features a leak-proof flange that creates a cavity at the inlet connection, providing buffering and protection to prevent high-pressure media leakage from causing jetting and threatening operator safety. A buoyancy mechanism and a leak warning mechanism are installed inside the water storage box. When leakage occurs at the inlet connection, water enters the storage box through a leak channel. As the float rises, it causes the pressure component to rise, gradually approaching and pressurizing the pressure warning component, triggering an alarm. This promptly alerts the user to the leak and allows for shutdown and maintenance, controlling the leakage at its initial stage and preventing greater losses. The sloping design of the internal partition of the water storage box allows for faster response to the buoyancy mechanism and pressure warning component, achieving efficient water supply and drainage. The drainage mechanism on the inner wall of the water storage box also improves drainage convenience. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0030] A closed-container jet desanding device, such as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, it includes the main body of the device 1.
[0031] Specifically, a water inlet connector 24 is fixedly connected to the main body 1 of the device, and a leak-proof flange 2 is fitted on the water inlet connector 24. The leak-proof flange 2 forms a cavity at the water inlet connection to achieve a buffering and protective effect, preventing the leakage of high-pressure medium from causing a jet flow that could threaten the safety of the operators. A water leakage groove 25 is opened at the bottom of the leak-proof flange 2, and a water storage box 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the leak-proof flange 2. The water storage box 3 and the leak-proof flange 2 are interconnected through the water leakage groove 25, so that when water leaks at the water inlet connection, water can enter the interior of the water storage box 3 through the water leakage groove 25. The water storage box 3 has a built-in water leakage warning mechanism to automatically monitor the water leakage at the water inlet connection of the main body 1 of the device, promptly remind the user to pay attention to the water leakage and to shut down the machine for maintenance, controlling the leakage at the initial stage, thereby avoiding greater losses. A drainage groove 32 is opened on one side of the water storage box 3, and a drainage mechanism is slidably installed on the inner wall of the water storage box 3 to drain the water accumulated in the water storage box 3, thereby improving the convenience of drainage.
[0032] The leakage warning mechanism includes a pressure warning member 34 that is slidably installed on the inner wall of the water storage box 3, and a partition 33 is fixedly installed inside the water storage box 3. The partition 33 can achieve efficient water supply and drainage. A buoyancy mechanism is slidably installed on the partition 33 to ensure that when water leaks at the water inlet connection of the main body 1, the buoyancy mechanism floats up and applies pressure to the pressure warning member 34 to issue a warning.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 The outer wall of the water inlet connector 24 is connected to the water pipe connector 22 by bolts, and a sealing gasket 23 is fixedly installed between the water inlet connector 24 and the water pipe connector 22. The sealing gasket 23 ensures that the water inlet connection is sealed reliably, thereby reducing the risk of leakage.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 The leak-proof flange 2 includes a flange cover 21 connected by bolts, and the inner diameter of the leak-proof flange 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the water inlet connector 24. The leak-proof flange 2 forms a cavity at the water inlet connection to achieve a buffering and protective effect, preventing leakage of high-pressure media from causing jet flow and posing a threat to the safety of operators.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 The upper surface of the partition 33 is designed with a slope, and the drainage groove 32 is located on the side wall adjacent to the lowest point of the water storage box 3 and the partition 33. The slope design of the partition 33 can respond more quickly to the cooperation of the buoyancy mechanism and the pressure warning member 34, and can achieve high water supply and drainage efficiency.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 The buoyancy mechanism includes a connecting rod 351 that is slidably mounted on the partition 33. A float 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 351, and a pressure member 352 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 351. When water leaks at the inlet connection, water enters the water storage box 3 from the leak groove 25. As the float 35 rises, it drives the pressure member 352 to rise. The pressure member 352 gradually approaches the pressure warning member 34 and applies pressure to it, causing it to sound an alarm.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 The pressure warning element 34 is located on the inner wall of the water storage box 3 adjacent to the pressure element 352. The pressure element 352 and the pressure warning element 34 work together. When the pressure element 352 is lifted by the float 35, the pressure element 352 applies pressure to the pressure warning element 34. By applying pressure to the pressure warning element 34, the pressure element 352 causes it to sound an alarm, promptly reminding the user to pay attention to the water leakage and to stop the machine for maintenance, controlling the leakage at the initial stage, thereby avoiding greater losses.
[0038] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 The drainage mechanism includes a drainage rod 312 that is slidably installed on the inner wall of the water storage box 3, and a drainage block 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the drainage rod 312. The bottom corner of the drainage block 31 is designed with a bevel. By designing the bottom corner of the drainage block 31 with a bevel, it is easier for the staff to lift the drainage block 31. A rubber plug 311 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the drainage rod 312. The diameter of the rubber plug 311 corresponds to the diameter of the drainage groove 32, but is smaller than the bottom diameter of the drainage rod 312. This allows the drainage rod 312 and the rubber plug 311 to block the drainage groove 32 when the water storage box 3 does not need to drain, thus avoiding affecting subsequent use.
[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Before the operator uses the main body 1 of the device to perform jet sand removal operation, the anti-leak flange 2 needs to be installed at the water inlet connection. First, the anti-leak flange 2 needs to be fitted onto the water inlet connector 24, and the flange cover 21 needs to be fitted onto the water pipe connector 22. The anti-leak flange 2 and the flange cover 21 are then connected to the water inlet connector 24, the water pipe connector 22 and the sealing gasket 23 with bolts. After installation and inspection, the jet sand removal operation can be carried out.
[0040] When the sealing gasket 23 is damaged, leakage will occur at the inlet connection. The cavity formed by the leak-proof flange 2 and the inlet connection will have a buffering and protective effect, preventing high-pressure medium leakage from forming a jet stream that could threaten the safety of the staff. The liquid leaking from the inlet connection will fall from the leak trough 25 into the upper part of the water storage box 3. The inclined design of the baffle 33 allows the liquid to accumulate more quickly at the end of the float 35. As the water level rises, the float 35 also gradually rises and drives the pressure member 352 to rise. After the pressure member 352 rises to the position of the pressure warning member 34, the pressure member 352 continues to rise and applies pressure to the pressure warning member 34. When the pressure is applied, the pressure warning member 34 will issue a leak alarm, thereby reminding the staff that a leak has occurred, controlling the leakage at the initial stage, and dealing with the leak in time to reduce losses.
[0041] When draining the water storage box 3, the operator only needs to lift the drain block 31, which will cause the drain rod 312 to move away from the drain trough 32, thus releasing the water in the water storage box 3 from the drain trough 32. The sloping design of the partition 33 can prevent water from accumulating in the box and causing pollution and corrosion, thus extending the service life of the leak-proof system. After draining, press down on the drain block 31 to reset the drain rod 312. The rubber stopper 311 can ensure the sealing performance of the drain trough 32 during daily use.
