Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fuel oil detection, in particular to a visual distillate fuel oil cold filter point tester. Background Art

[0002] Distillate fuel oil is a refined oil product derived from crude oil. The cold filter plugging point (CPPP) refers to the lowest temperature at which the filter becomes clogged due to the formation of solid matter such as wax when the fuel oil passes through a specified filter under low-temperature conditions.

[0003] The distillate fuel cold filter plugging point tester can accurately measure the cold filter plugging point of fuel oil, thereby ensuring its fluidity and performance under low temperature conditions.

[0004] During use, when the sample temperature drops to a certain level close to the expected cold filter plugging point, the distillate fuel oil cold filter plugging point tester begins to apply a certain amount of pressure to the sample. The current pressure supply method is usually applied through a pneumatic or electric pump. This results in a large number of internal dead corners of the pneumatic or electric pump when changing different oils for testing, resulting in incomplete cleaning and the risk of sample cross-contamination.

[0005] To this end, we propose a visual distillate fuel oil cold filter point tester to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, a refrigeration unit is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate, a refrigeration output end is provided on the refrigeration unit, and the tank body is plugged into the refrigeration output end.

[0009] Preferably, the lower surface of the cylinder abuts against the bottom end of the inner wall of the tank body and a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the two, and the bottom end opening of the cylinder passes through the tank body and the backing plate in sequence.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting assembly is composed of a slide groove, a screw, a gear ring, a screw seat, a slider and a motor, the screw seat is rotatably arranged on the cover, the gear ring is arranged on the outer wall of the screw seat, the screw thread is arranged on the screw seat, and the bottom end of the screw is arranged on the upper surface of the piston.

[0011] Preferably, the slide groove is provided on the screw rod, one end of the slider is slidably provided in the slide groove, and the other end of the slider is provided on the cover.

[0012] Preferably, the motor is arranged on the cover, and a gear is provided at the output end of the motor, and the gear at the output end of the motor is in a gear meshing state with the ring gear.

[0013] Preferably, a temperature sensor is provided on the pad, and the temperature sensor contacts the outer wall of the bottom opening of the cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, a support base is provided on the lower surface of the base plate, and there are four support bases in total, and the positions of the four support bases are distributed in a rectangular array on the lower surface of the base plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] During use, the utility model visualized distillate fuel oil cold filter point tester can be used to introduce the distillate fuel oil to be tested into the tank body, then cover it with a cover, connect it to an external power supply, and the refrigerator will work to provide cooling capacity to the distillate fuel oil inside the tank body through the cooling output end through the tank body, thereby reducing the sample temperature;

[0017] The drive assembly works, and the motor works to rotate the screw seat through the meshing state of the gear teeth. At this time, the screw is limited by the slider and does not deflect. Under the principle of the lead screw, the screw is lifted and lowered. When the sample temperature approaches the expected cold filter point, the piston moves upward, and under the action of negative pressure suction, the sample inside the tank enters the cylinder through the one-way valve in the nozzle;

[0018] Then the piston is controlled to move downward to apply a certain pressure to the sample inside the cylinder and squeeze it onto the filter. The speed of the piston is controlled by controlling the speed of the motor, thereby controlling the pressure applied to the sample.

[0019] At this time, the temperature sensor is connected to the external computer to display the data. The temperature sensor detects the specific temperature of the sample before it leaves the cylinder, and then observes whether the sample can pass through the filter within a certain time interval. It records whether the sample can pass through the filter continuously at a specific temperature. When the sample cannot pass through the filter at a certain temperature, it is considered that the cold filter point has been reached.

[0020] The utility model facilitates cleaning of the structure by improving the pressure providing method, and the optimized design reduces the time and frequency required for cleaning, so that the equipment can be put into the next test more quickly, and can avoid cross contamination between different oils, thereby improving the accuracy of test data, ensuring the consistency of samples, and making the test results more reliable and repeatable.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the utility model proposes a visual distillate fuel oil cold filter point tester, which includes a base plate 2, a pad 5, a tank body 6 and a measuring cylinder 8. The pad 5 is arranged on the base plate 2, and the bottom end of the tank body 6 is placed on the pad 5. A cover 7 is provided at the opening position of the tank body 6, and a cylinder body 9 is provided on the cover 7. A piston 12 is provided in the cylinder body 9 through a lifting assembly. A nozzle 10 is provided on the cylinder body 9, and a one-way valve 11 is provided in the nozzle 10. The measuring cylinder 8 is placed on the base plate 2, and a filter screen 19 is provided at the top opening of the measuring cylinder 8. The filter screen 19 is located directly below the bottom opening of the cylinder body 9.

[0031] Based on Example 1:

[0032] During use of the present invention's visual distillate fuel oil cold filter point tester, the distillate fuel oil to be tested can be introduced into the tank body 6 and then covered with a cover 7. After connecting to an external power source, the refrigerator operates to provide cooling to the distillate fuel oil inside the tank body 6 through the cooling output end 4 and the tank body 6, thereby reducing the sample temperature.

[0033] The drive assembly works to make the screw 14 move up and down. When the sample temperature approaches the expected cold filter point, the piston 12 moves upward and the sample inside the tank 9 enters the cylinder 6 through the one-way valve 11 in the nozzle 10 under the action of negative pressure suction.

[0034] Then, the piston 12 is controlled to move downward to apply a certain pressure to the sample inside the cylinder 9 and squeeze it onto the filter 19. The speed of the piston 12 is controlled by controlling the speed of the motor 18 to control the pressure applied to the sample.

[0035] At this time, the temperature sensor 20 is connected to an external computer to display data. The temperature sensor 20 detects the specific temperature of the sample before it leaves the cylinder 9, and then observes whether the sample can pass through the filter 19 within a certain time interval, and records whether the sample can continuously pass through the filter 19 at a specific temperature. When the sample cannot pass through the filter 19 at a certain temperature, it is considered that the cold filter point has been reached.

The refrigerant liquid absorbs the heat of the tested sample through the evaporator to reduce its temperature. The above-mentioned refrigeration principle is an existing mature technology. Its working principle and internal structure are known to technicians in the relevant technical field. The present invention only utilizes its function and does not improve its internal structure.

[0038] The lower surface of the cylinder 9 rests against the bottom end of the inner wall of the tank body 6 and a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the two. The bottom opening of the cylinder 9 passes through the tank body 6 and the pad 5 in sequence. The design of the sealing ring ensures the sealing performance of the connection between the cylinder 9 and the tank body 6.

[0039] The lifting assembly is composed of a slide 13, a screw 14, a ring gear 15, a screw seat 16, a slider 17 and a motor 18.

The output end of the motor 18 is provided with a gear, and the gear at the output end of the motor 18 is in a gear meshing state with the ring gear 15. The drive assembly works, and the motor 18 works through the gear meshing state to rotate the screw seat 16. At this time, the screw 14 is limited by the slider 17 and does not produce a deflection action. Under the principle of the screw, the screw 14 is lifted and lowered.

[0040] A temperature sensor 20 is provided on the pad 5 , which contacts the outer wall of the bottom opening of the cylinder 9 . The temperature sensor 20 is connected to an external computer to display data. The temperature sensor 20 detects the specific temperature of the sample before it leaves the cylinder 9 .

[0041] A support base 1 is provided on the lower surface of the base plate 2 . There are four support bases 1 in total, and the positions of the four support bases 1 are distributed in a rectangular array on the lower surface of the base plate 2 .

[0042] It should be noted that the structures of the motor 18, the one-way valve 11, and the temperature sensor 20 are existing mature technologies, and their working principles and internal structures are known to technicians in the relevant technical field. The present invention only utilizes their functions and does not improve their internal structures. Therefore, they are not described in detail here, and technicians in this field can make any optional selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0043] The above specific embodiments are only several preferred embodiments of the present invention.
