Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of lubricating oil tanks and relates to a defoaming oil tank with a heating device. Background Art

[0002] During operation, lubrication and hydraulic systems require an oil tank to provide sufficient lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, and other fluids to ensure the proper functioning of the lubrication or hydraulic system. To ensure the oil in the tank operates within the most suitable temperature range, a heating device is installed inside the tank. This heating device typically utilizes an electric tube heater or a sheathed heater, and the heater is often installed at the bottom of the tank to heat the oil surrounding the heater. This heating method does not uniformly heat the oil throughout the tank, resulting in lower temperatures farther from the heater and uneven oil temperature. Bubbles are also very likely to form in the tank oil due to its high viscosity, low temperature, contamination, oxidation, and the agitation of the air. Existing heaters remove bubbles from the tank oil by heating the oil, raising its temperature and reducing its viscosity, thereby accelerating the volatilization of the bubbles. Beyond this, there is little structural assistance for eliminating bubbles.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, an oil tank is needed, which can not only assist in eliminating bubbles from a structural perspective, but also heat the oil. Utility Model Content

[0024] It should be noted that in the description of this specification, the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are intended solely to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In this embodiment, arrows indicate the direction of medium flow, i.e., the direction of oil flow.

[0025] As shown in the figure, the present invention discloses a defoaming oil tank with a heating device, comprising an oil tank body 1, a partition 2, and a heating device 6. The partition 2 is installed in the oil tank body 1 so as to separate the oil tank body 1 into an oil suction area 3 and an oil return area 4. The oil suction area 3 and the oil return area 4 are interconnected, and the connecting area between the oil suction area 3 and the oil return area 4 forms a heating area 5. The heating device 6 is installed in the oil tank body 1 and is located in the heating area 5. In this embodiment, the top of the partition 2 is in contact with the top surface of the inner wall of the oil tank body 1, and the bottom of the partition 2 extends vertically downward to a position near the bottom of the oil tank body 1. As shown in the figure, the partition 2 in this embodiment separates the oil tank into two independent areas, namely the oil absorption area 3 and the oil return area 4, and the top and sides of the partition 2 are in contact with the inner wall of the oil tank, while the bottom is away from the bottom of the oil tank, which naturally forms a connecting area connecting the oil absorption area 3 and the oil return area 4, namely the heating area 5; the heating device 6 is installed in the heating area 5, and the oil directly enters the oil return area 4 after the oil circulation is completed. After the oil return area 4 flows from top to bottom to the heating area 5, it is heated by the heating device 6 in the heating area 5 and then enters the oil absorption area 3. The oil entering the oil absorption area 3 can be ensured to be completely heated. The partition 2 of the utility model clearly separates the oil absorption and oil return, so that the return oil will not directly impact the oil absorption area 3, reducing the disturbance of the return oil to the oil absorption area 3, thereby reducing the generation of bubbles. At the same time, the heating device 6 is arranged in the heating area 5 connecting the oil absorption area 3 and the oil return area 4, which is also the necessary path for the flow of oil, so that the oil can be effectively heated and the heating effect is better.

[0026] In this embodiment, the heating device 6 comprises a defoaming cage and a heater 8. The defoaming cage is covered with a mesh-like defoaming net 7, and the heater 8 is located within the defoaming cage. The defoaming net 7 in this embodiment is a 60-mesh metal mesh. The oil flowing between the oil suction zone 3 and the oil return zone 4 must pass through the heating device 6 to be heated. This not only increases the oil temperature and reduces its viscosity, but also accelerates the dissipation of bubbles. Small bubbles in the oil are captured by the 60-mesh metal defoaming net 7 on the heating device 6. Small bubbles aggregate to form larger bubbles, which then float up and dissipate into the air. This fuel tank heating device 6 significantly improves heating efficiency and bubble removal capabilities. In this embodiment, the heater 8 is mounted flush against the inner wall of the defoaming net 7. Multiple heaters 8 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the defoaming cage. As shown in the figure, four heaters 8 are provided in this embodiment, evenly spaced. The heaters 8 can be configured with heating components such as electric heating rods of varying power or heating capacity, depending on the size of the fuel tank and the flow rate of the oil.

[0027] In this embodiment, the defoaming cage further comprises a support frame, and the defoaming net 7 is coated on the support frame to form the defoaming cage. The support frame comprises a frame 10 and a support rod 11. The support rod 11 is arranged horizontally, and the frame 10 is arranged parallel to the support rod 11. Both ends of the frame 10 are bent inward and respectively connected to the two ends of the support rod 11. Multiple frames 10 are arranged around the axis of the support rod 11, and the distance between each frame 10 and the axis of the support rod 11 is equal. As shown in the figure, this embodiment is provided with a total of four skeletons 10, which are evenly distributed around the central axis of the support rod 11. After the two ends of each skeleton 10 are bent inward (that is, in the direction of the support rod 11), they are correspondingly connected to the ends of the support rod 11, so that the entire support frame forms a cage-shaped support frame with a spatial frame structure. After the ends of each skeleton 10 are bent and connected to the support rod 11, a cross-shaped structure is formed at the ends of the support rod 11. This structure helps to enhance the structural strength of the support frame in the radial direction and effectively avoids the deformation caused by the impact of oil flow on the heating device 6. At the same time, with the support rod 11 as the center, a cage-shaped structure of multiple skeletons 10 is axially arranged, combined with the metal defoaming net 7 set on the surface and the heater 8 installed on the defoaming net 7, the axial structural strength of the entire heating device 6 is effectively guaranteed. The radial outer end face of the skeleton in this embodiment is an arc-shaped structure to better fit the defoaming net. It can also be set to other structures as needed. This is understandable to those skilled in the art and will not be described here.

[0028] In this embodiment, the heating device 6 further includes a mounting head 9, which is disposed at the axial end of the defoaming cage. The defoaming cage is mounted to the fuel tank body 1 via the mounting head 9. As shown in the figure, the support frame and heater 8 in this embodiment are both fixed to the mounting head 9. Once the mounting head 9 is mounted on the fuel tank, the installation of the heating device 6 is completed. The provision of the mounting head 9 also facilitates the installation of the heater 8.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
