An intermittent swirl separator is provided. The swirl separator comprises a water phase outlet
pipe, an
impeller shaft, a small
bevel gear, a big
bevel gear, a big-bevel-gear shaft, an intermittent rotation mechanism shell, a big-bevel-gear shaft sealing structure, a fixing structure, a tangential inlet, an
oil phase outlet
pipe, a swirl chamber, an
oil phase baffle, a small
bevel gear shaft, animpeller shell, a bypass
pipe, a tangential outlet, an outlet cone, an
inlet cone, a rotation speed adjusting pipe, an
impeller, a rotation disc, a guide slot, a pushing block, a guide column, a cross-shaped block, and the like. The tangential outlet has an arc-shaped structure. One end of the tangential outlet, close to the swirl chamber, is tangential to the top end of the swirl chamber, and theend of the tangential outlet, far from the swirl chamber, is forked into the bypass pipe and the rotation speed adjusting pipe which are two liquid flow passages. The
impeller shell is on the rotation speed adjusting pipe. The impeller is in a chamber formed by the impeller shell and the rotation speed adjusting pipe. The big bevel gear is outside the intermittent rotation mechanism shell. The swirl separator has the advantages of high separation efficiency, strong
system integration, a compact structure and a low cost.
