Gas-liquid separation device ensuring the effect of gas-liquid separation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The molecular sieve package in gas-liquid separation devices can slide along the gas collecting pipe over time, potentially blocking the gas collection opening and affecting the separation process.
Innovation Solution
A gas-liquid separation device design that includes a gas collecting pipe with first and second brackets on opposite sides of the molecular sieve package, limiting its displacement along the pipe's extension direction to prevent movement towards the gas collection opening.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If only a cable tie is used to fix the molecular sieve package, then the installation is simple, but the molecular sieve package can slide along the gas collecting pipe and block the gas collection opening
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing structure is divided into multiple independent brackets (first bracket and second bracket) positioned at different locations along the gas collecting pipe. Each bracket provides independent support and limiting function, collectively preventing the molecular sieve package from sliding while maintaining installation simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The brackets extend radially outward from the gas collecting pipe, creating a three-dimensional fixing structure that limits displacement in multiple directions (radial and axial). This dimensional approach transforms a simple linear cable tie constraint into a multi-directional positioning system that effectively prevents blocking of the gas collection opening

AI summary
A gas-liquid separation device (200) includes a molecular sieve assembly (100). The molecular sieve assembly (100) includes a gas collecting pipe (4), a molecular sieve package (5), a first bracket (61) and a second bracket (62). The gas collecting pipe (4) includes a pipe wall with a hollow interior to form an inner cavity. The pipe wall has an inner surface facing the inner cavity and an outer surface (41) facing away from the inner cavity. The first bracket (61) and the second bracket (62) are both connected to the outer surface (41) of the gas collecting pipe (4). The first bracket (61) and the second bracket (62) are located on two opposite sides of the molecular sieve package (5) along an extension direction of the gas collecting pipe (4), to limit displacement of the molecular sieve package (5) in the extension direction of the gas collecting pipe (4).
