The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment, in particular to an external oil lubricating mechanism for a separator, and solves the technical problems that in the prior art, a bearing lubricating mode of an existing separator is that the separator is provided with an oil tank for lubrication, the lubricating structure of the oil tank is large in size and does not have the function of filtering and cooling lubricating oil products, so that the separator is forcibly shut down due to the high temperature of the bearing of the separator in the operation process, the production efficiency is delayed, and the separator is not very practical are solved. The external oil lubricating mechanism for the separator comprises a separator bearing and an oil tank, wherein the top part of the oil tank is sequentially provided with an oil pump, a heat exchanger, a temperature sensor, an overflow valve, a filter, a throttling valve and a flow meter, the input end of the oil pump is communicated with an oil outlet of the oil tank, and the output end of the oil pump is communicated with the input end of the heat exchanger. The external oil lubricating mechanism is compact in structure, complete in function and good in lubricating, filtering and cooling effects, so that the practicability is improved, and the production efficiency is improved.
