Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present invention provides an oil-gas separator. The oil-gas separator includes: a housing 10, a plurality of separation channels 20 and a plurality of swirling means. Wherein, have a plurality of separation chambers of intercommunication in order in the casing 10, and be provided with oil feed gas port 11a on the first separation chamber of intercommunication in order, be provided with oil outlet port 11b on the last separation chamber, be provided with exchange port 12 between two adjacent separation chambers, two adjacent separation chambers pass through exchange port 12 intercommunication. The plurality of separation passages 20 are disposed in the respective separation chambers in a one-to-one correspondence, two separation passages 20 in adjacent two separation chambers are communicated with each other, and the plurality of separation chambers are sequentially disposed in the housing 10 in a flow direction perpendicular to the separation passages 20. A plurality of cyclone devices are disposed in the respective separation passages 20 in a one-to-one correspondence, each of which is rotatable relative to the housing 10.
Adopt the oil and gas separator in this embodiment, the oil-gas mixture will get into the device from the oil feed gas port 11a of first separation chamber, and subsequently, the oil-gas mixture of entering device will move along separation channel 20 in the separation chamber, when this oil-gas mixture is through a plurality of baffling sections that communicate in order, the machine oil granule in the oil-gas mixture will be followed this gas mixture and separated out, and this oil-gas mixture obtains initial segregation this moment. Subsequently, the oil-gas mixture of initial separation obtains further separation under swirl device's effect, and swirl device can increase the stroke of the oil-gas mixture after initial separation on the one hand for it is at limited separation channel 20 internal repetitive motion, thereby strengthens the collision with the separation channel 20 wall and in order to improve separation efficiency, and on the other hand, because swirl device's rotation, makes the machine oil granule in this oil-gas mixture can be separated out under the effect of centrifugal force, has further strengthened the separation efficiency of device. Then, the oil-gas mixture will continue to pass through the separation channel 20 for separation after coming out of the cyclone device, so as to complete the separation of the oil-gas mixture in the first separation chamber.
After the separation of the oil-gas mixture in the first separation chamber is finished, the oil-gas mixture enters the next separation chamber connected with the exchange port 12 from the exchange port for separation, and the oil-gas separation process is repeated. By analogy, when the oil-gas mixture gradually enters the next separation cavity connected with the first separation cavity from the first separation cavity to be separated, the engine oil particles in the oil-gas mixture are continuously separated, so that the separation efficiency of the device is continuously improved. Theoretically, the more separation chambers are provided, the higher the separation efficiency of the oil separator. In practice, however, the worker has found that the oil content in the oil-gas mixture is already substantially minimal when the oil particle diameter is < 0.5. mu.m, so that it is not necessary to provide too many separating chambers. Preferably, in order to improve the oil-gas separation device and reduce the occupied space of the device, the oil-gas separator in the embodiment is provided with two connected separation cavities.
Wherein, when the plurality of separation cavities are communicated in sequence, the separation cavities can be arranged in sequence along the flow direction of the separation channel; or can be arranged along the flow direction of the vertical separation channel in sequence, taking the figure 1 as an example; the plurality of separation cavities can be communicated in sequence along the upper side, the lower side or the left side and the right side of the first separation cavity; a plurality of separation chambers may also be provided in series along the front and rear sides of the first separation chamber. In the present embodiment, it is preferable that a plurality of separation chambers are sequentially disposed in the housing 10 in a flow direction perpendicular to the separation passage 20. That is, the remaining separation chambers are sequentially disposed along the rear side of the first separation chamber. So as to reduce the occupied space of the device in the length direction or the height direction as much as possible and make the structure more compact.
In order to avoid mixing of the unseparated oil-gas mixture with the separated oil-gas mixture, the separation processes of different separation chambers need to be not interfered with each other. Preferably, the oil separator in this embodiment further includes a partition. The partition plate is arranged in the shell 10 and located between two adjacent separation cavities, so that the partition plate can effectively separate the two adjacent separation cavities, and the mixing of oil-gas mixed gas with different separation degrees is avoided. Meanwhile, in order to ensure that the oil-gas mixture can sequentially pass through the adjacent separation cavities, the exchange port 12 can be arranged on the partition plate, so that the oil-gas mixture can smoothly enter the next adjacent separation cavity to be continuously separated after being separated by one separation cavity.
As shown in fig. 2, each swirling device includes a rotating shaft and a fan blade 30. Wherein, the rotating shaft is rotatably arranged in the separation channel 20, and the fan blade 30 is arranged on the rotating shaft. The rotational flow device in this embodiment rotates the rotating shaft under the action of the oil-gas mixture, and further drives the fan blades 30 on the rotating shaft to start moving, so that the rotational flow device starts to work. In this embodiment, the rotational flow device does not need to be provided with a motor, and the fan blades 30 are pushed to rotate by the flow of the mixed gas, so that the structure of the device is reduced, and the structure is simpler.
In order to make the structural arrangement of the oil separator more reasonable, it is preferable that the rotation shaft is provided on the partition plate. Because the airflow direction in two adjacent separation cavities is the same, two rotating shafts in two adjacent separation cavities can be preferably connected with each other, so that when the cyclone device in the first separation cavity moves, the cyclone devices in other separation cavities are driven to work simultaneously, and the separation efficiency of the device is improved. Meanwhile, the central lines of the two rotating shafts in two adjacent separating cavities can be arranged to be parallel to each other, so that the rotating shafts of different separating cavities are connected together. The oil-gas separator in the embodiment has only two separation cavities, and in order to increase the compactness of the device, the rotating shafts of different separation cavities in the embodiment are preferably arranged on the same axis, so that the rotating shafts can be conveniently connected and the separation efficiency of the device can be improved.
Correspondingly, a through hole is arranged on the partition plate to install the rotating shaft. In order to reduce the friction damage of the direct connection between the rotating shaft and the partition board, a bearing 40 is preferably further disposed in the through hole, the bearing 40 is fixedly disposed in the through hole, and the rotating shaft is disposed on the bearing 40 in a penetrating manner, so as to achieve the connection between the rotating shaft and the partition board.
Specifically, each separation channel 20 includes a plurality of baffle segments in serial communication. After the oil-gas mixture enters the oil-gas separator, along with the movement of the oil-gas mixture along the plurality of baffling sections, the oil-gas mixture continuously collides with the baffling sections and the inner wall of the separation cavity, and engine oil particles are continuously separated from the oil-gas mixture in the collision process, so that the oil-gas separation effect is achieved.
Specifically, a plurality of bending plates 21 are arranged in each separation channel 20, and the bending plates 21 are matched with the inner wall of the separation cavity to form a plurality of baffling sections. Adopt such setting, can make the oil-gas mixture constantly collide with the board 21 and the separation intracavity wall of bending, will constantly make the machine oil granule separate out from this oil-gas mixture in the collision process to reach better oil-gas separation's effect.
Specifically, the plurality of bending plates 21 in each separation channel 20 are symmetrically arranged at the center of the separation cavity. The cyclone device is arranged at the center of the separation cavity in the embodiment, the bending plates 21 are arranged around the cyclone device, and the bending plates 21 are symmetrically arranged at the center of the separation cavity at the position, so that the compact structure of the device is increased, the occupied space of the device is reduced, and the reasonable space layout is realized.
By adopting the oil-gas separator in the embodiment, after the oil-gas mixture enters the separator through the oil inlet 11a, the oil-gas mixture firstly enters the baffling section of the separation channel 20, and along with the collision of the oil-gas mixture with the bending plate 21 and the inner wall of the separation cavity, the engine oil particles are continuously separated, and the oil-gas mixture is also subjected to preliminary separation. Subsequently, the oil-gas mixture will enter the cyclone device, which enhances the separation efficiency of the separation chamber due to the effect of the cyclone device. Then, the oil-gas mixture coming out of the cyclone device enters a deflection section which is symmetrical to the deflection starting section for separation, so that the separation efficiency of the separation cavity is further improved. The oil-gas mixture from the deflection section will then enter the next adjacent separation chamber through the exchange port 12 for separation, and the separation process in different separation chambers is consistent. Finally, the oil-gas mixture separated by the two separation chambers is fully separated, and the separated clean gas is discharged from the oil outlet 11b of the latter separation chamber, so that the complete separation process of the oil-gas separator in the embodiment is realized.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, in detail, the separation passage 20 in the first separation chamber includes a first baffling section, a second baffling section, a third baffling section and a fourth baffling section, one end of the first baffling section is communicated with the oil inlet 11a, the other end of the first baffling section is communicated with the second baffling section, one end of the fourth baffling section is communicated with the exchange port 12, the other end of the fourth baffling section is communicated with the third baffling section, the second baffling section and the first baffling section have an included angle, the second baffling section is bent towards the fourth baffling section, an included angle is formed between the third baffling section and the fourth baffling section, and the third bending section is bent towards the first bending section, the air inlet of the third bending section and the air outlet of the second bending section are arranged in a staggered way, a labyrinth structure is formed by the first baffling section, the second baffling section, the third baffling section and the fourth baffling section, and the fan blade 30 is arranged between the third baffling section and the second baffling section. Accordingly, separation channels in other separation chambers may also be provided in this configuration.
After the oil-gas mixture passes through the first baffling section and the second baffling section in sequence by the oil inlet 11a, the oil-gas mixture is separated by entering the cyclone device, the cyclone device can effectively increase the separation efficiency of the oil-gas mixture, and after the separated oil-gas mixture comes out of the cyclone device, the oil-gas mixture enters the third baffling section and the fourth baffling section in sequence to be separated, and finally enters the next separation cavity through the exchange port 12.
Specifically, the fan blade 30 has a convex surface and a concave surface which are oppositely arranged, and the concave surface is arranged towards the air outlet side of the second baffling section. Through the arrangement, the oil-gas mixture coming out from the second baffling section can be concentrated on the concave surface of the fan blade 30, and when the oil-gas mixture entering the rotational flow device is increased, the force applied to the concave surface is larger, so that the fan blade 30 is pushed to rotate around the rotating shaft. Along with the oil-gas mixture continuously enters the cyclone device from the second baffling section, the fan blades 30 can continuously rotate. When the fan blades 30 rotate, on one hand, the stroke of the mixed gas is increased, and on the other hand, due to the effect of centrifugal force, more engine oil particles are separated from the oil-gas mixed gas, so that the separation efficiency of the device is improved.
As shown in fig. 2 and 4, in order to make the structural layout of the device more reasonable, the separation passages 20 and the swirling devices in two adjacent separation chambers are preferably symmetrically arranged in the housing 10 with the partition plate as the center of symmetry.
In the present embodiment, the oil separator further includes an oil return hole 22, and the oil return hole 22 is provided in each of the separation passages 20 so that the oil return hole 22 collects the separated oil. The present embodiment includes a plurality of oil return holes 22, and the oil return holes 22 are respectively disposed on the bending plate 21 and the housing 10.
By adopting the oil-gas separator in the embodiment, after the oil-gas mixture enters the first separation cavity from the oil inlet 11a, the oil-gas mixture can sequentially pass through the first baffling section, the second baffling section, the cyclone device, the third baffling section, the fourth baffling section and the exchange port 12, then the oil-gas mixture enters the second separation cavity adjacent to the first separation cavity, the separation process is repeated in the second separation cavity, finally, the separated clean gas is discharged from the oil outlet 11b in the second separation cavity, and the separated engine oil returns to the crankcase through the oil return hole 22. In the embodiment, the oil-gas separator doubles the air flow movement stroke of the oil-gas mixture, so that the separation efficiency is improved, and meanwhile, the device is reasonable in structural layout and reduces the occupied space of the device. And the oil-gas separator has simple structure and convenient manufacture.
