Therefore, features defined as "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0028] An outdoor oil-water separation oil pan, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes an oil receiving pan body 1 and a water collecting enclosure 6 vertically slidingly arranged on the oil receiving pan body 1, the water collecting enclosure 6 is an annular structural member, and the oil receiving pan body 1 is provided with an assembly groove 8 that slides with the water collecting enclosure 6; a protective net 2 for limiting the water collecting enclosure 6 is provided above the oil receiving pan body 1, and a drainage hole 3 connected to the assembly groove 8 is provided below; the water collecting enclosure 6 is provided with oil absorbing cotton 7 on the side facing the protective net 2, and a floating net 9 is provided at a position corresponding to the bottom of the oil absorbing cotton 7 in the water collecting enclosure 6.

[0029] Optionally, the floating net 9 can be made of a lightweight material, such as foamed plastic. When the floating net 9 is made of a lightweight material, it can be fixed to the water-collecting enclosure 6 by adhesive. In addition, those skilled in the art can also use a hollow sealed plastic tube to make the floating net 9. The floating net 9 can be a grid-like structure and be fixed to the water-collecting enclosure 6 by adhesive or screws. The floating net 9 made of a hollow sealed plastic tube also has good structural strength and can be used to support the oil-absorbing cotton 7 to ensure that the oil-absorbing cotton 7 can be stably set on the water-collecting enclosure 6. Those skilled in the art can also use other lightweight materials to make the floating net 9 and the water-collecting enclosure 6, so that when the assembly groove 8 of the oil receiving pan body 1 is filled with rainwater, the floating net 9 and the water-collecting enclosure 6 can float on the water surface. No further details are given here.

[0030] Optionally, in order to improve the stability of the oil-absorbing cotton 7 on the water-collecting enclosure 6, a block or a slot may be provided on the inside of the water-collecting enclosure 6 to limit the oil-absorbing cotton 7 and prevent it from falling out of the water-collecting enclosure 6. Those skilled in the art may also adopt other methods to install and fix the oil-absorbing cotton 7 so that the oil-absorbing cotton 7 can be stably arranged above the water-collecting enclosure 6 and can move up and down with the water-collecting enclosure 6, which will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Optionally, the protective net 2 is detachably mounted on the oil pan body 1. The protective net 2 can be made of an existing stainless steel net to prevent the protective net 2 from rusting when used outdoors. The protective net 2 can also be fixed to the oil pan body 1 by screws to achieve detachable assembly of the protective net 2 on the oil pan body 1, making it easier for operators to subsequently replace the water collection enclosure 6 or the oil absorbent cotton 7, thereby improving the maintainability of the oil pan and reducing the use and maintenance costs of the oil pan.

[0032] In addition, the protective net 2 can also effectively limit the water-collecting enclosure 6 and the oil-absorbing cotton 7, so that the oil pan can be used outdoors. When the wind is strong, the oil-absorbing cotton 7 will not be blown away due to the protective net at the pan mouth. When rainwater enters the assembly groove 8 and causes the water-collecting enclosure 6 and the oil-absorbing cotton 7 to rise, the protective net 2 can also limit the water-collecting enclosure 6 and the oil-absorbing cotton 7, preventing the water-collecting enclosure 6 and the oil-absorbing cotton 7 from falling out of the oil pan body 1, ensuring that the oil-absorbing cotton 7 can still effectively collect the oil dripping from the equipment, thereby improving the reliability and applicability of the oil pan when used outdoors.

[0033] Optionally, a magnet 5 is provided at the bottom of the oil pan body 1. For example, multiple magnets 5 may be provided at the bottom of the oil pan body 1, for example, three, four, five, or more. The magnets 5 may be secured to the oil pan body 1 using an adhesive. By providing the magnets 5 on the oil pan body 1, the oil pan can be more stably placed at the bottom of the device to collect dripping oil. The magnets 5 cooperate with the iron base at the bottom of the device, improving the stability of the oil pan and preventing it from moving.

[0034] Optionally, the oil pan body 1 is provided with a mounting slot for mounting the magnet 5. Multiple mounting slots may be provided corresponding to the magnet 5. Those skilled in the art may also adjust the positions of the magnet 5 and the mounting slots according to actual needs to further improve the stability of the oil pan body 1 at the bottom of the device. Providing the mounting slots on the oil pan body 1 helps improve the stability of the magnet 5 on the oil pan body 1. The mounting slots can effectively limit the magnet 5, preventing it from falling off during use, thereby further improving the reliability of the oil pan in actual use.

[0035] In actual use, since the equipment will generate a certain amount of vibration during operation, if the oil pan is not fixed by a certain limiting method, the oil pan will easily move during use, resulting in the oil pan being unable to continuously align with the oil leak of the equipment to receive the oil. Therefore, this embodiment provides a magnet 5 at the bottom of the oil pan body 1, so that the oil pan can be installed in places with large movement and vibration, and is simple, convenient, and easy to assemble and disassemble. For example, if the place where the oil pan is placed below the oil leak is a metal floor, one or more oil pans can be directly placed on it. For non-metallic floors, a thin iron sheet can be glued to the floor in advance and then the oil pan can be placed. Under the suction of the magnet 5, the oil pan can remain motionless and always stably align with the equipment to receive the oil leak.

[0036] Optionally, at least four drainage holes 3 are evenly arranged around the oil pan body 1, and each of the drainage holes 3 is connected to the assembly groove 8. By providing the drainage holes 3 on the oil pan body 1, when rainwater enters the assembly groove 8 through the top of the oil pan body 1, it can be discharged through the drainage holes 3, thereby preventing rainwater from accumulating in the assembly groove 8 and ensuring that the oil-absorbing cotton 7 can better absorb oil stains dripping from the equipment.

[0037] In actual use, multiple drainage holes 3 can be provided around the oil pan body 1 to improve drainage. Even when heavy rainwater accumulates in the assembly groove 8, the accumulated rainwater will pass through the floating net 9, pushing the water collection enclosure 6 and the oil-absorbing cotton 7 upward and floating on the surface of the accumulated water. Since oil is lighter than water, even if leaked oil drips, it will be absorbed by the oil-absorbing cotton 7 on the surface of the accumulated water.

[0038] Specifically, to prevent oil and dirt from being discharged from the drain hole 3 when a small amount of water accumulates, a vertically slidable water-collecting barrier 6 is provided within the assembly groove 8. This can block the drain hole 3 when a small amount of water accumulates within the assembly groove 8, making it difficult for the accumulated water and oil and dirt to be discharged from the drain hole 3. Subsequently, as the amount of accumulated water increases, the water-collecting barrier 6 and the oil-absorbing cotton 7 continue to rise. Only when the bottom of the water-collecting barrier 6 is higher than the drain hole 3 will the accumulated water in the assembly groove 8 be discharged from the oil pan body 1. At this point, the bottom of the water-collecting barrier extends below the level of the accumulated water. Under the influence of the water-collecting barrier 6, the level of the accumulated water is much higher than the drain hole 3, and therefore the oil and dirt are also much higher than the drain hole 3, so the oil and dirt will not be discharged through the drain hole 3.

[0039] When the water accumulation in the assembly tank 8 is reduced, the water-collecting enclosure 6 loses the buoyancy of the water and will gradually drop until the water level is lower than the drainage hole 3, and the water in the assembly tank 8 will no longer be discharged. At this time, even if there is still some water in the assembly tank 8, it will not affect the normal absorption of oil stains dripping from the equipment by the oil-absorbing cotton 7. By arranging a vertically sliding water-collecting enclosure 6 in the assembly tank 8, using the water-collecting enclosure 6 to carry the oil-absorbing cotton 7 and realize the control of the on and off of the drainage hole 3, the overall design realizes that when water accumulates in the assembly tank 8 on rainy days, the water surface absorbs oil through the oil-absorbing cotton 7, and the lower part of the water surface is drained through the drainage hole 3, which not only prevents the residual oil in the oil receiving pan from flowing out of the oil receiving pan, but also allows the oil receiving pan to receive oil normally in heavy rain, further improving the applicability of this oil receiving pan to outdoor environments.

[0040] Optionally, the oil pan body 1 is a rectangular structure with connectors 4 disposed around the perimeter of the oil pan body 1. Exemplarily, the connectors 4 are fixed to the oil pan body 1, with two connectors 4 disposed on adjacent sides of the oil pan body 1. Each connector 4 is L-shaped, with the horizontal end of the connector 4 disposed at the top of the oil pan body 1 and the vertical end disposed toward the bottom of the oil pan body 1. By disposing two connectors 4 on two adjacent sides of the oil pan body 1, multiple oil pan bodies 1 can be connected together by the connectors 4 mating with the edges of the oil pan body 1.

[0041] In actual application, the connecting piece 4 on one oil receiving pan body 1 can straddle the edge of the same type of oil receiving pan body 1 without the connecting piece 4, and so on, to form a larger oil receiving pan to meet different oil collection requirements.

[0042] This outdoor oil-water separation oil pan features a unique integrated oil suction structure and rainwater drainage method. The integrated suction structure absorbs oil and works with the pan to separate it from the oil. The integrated suction structure, with similar external dimensions to the pan's internal dimensions, consists of absorbent cotton 7, a floating net 9, and a surrounding water collection barrier 6.

[0043] In actual use, the thickness of the water-collecting enclosure 6 must be greater than that of the oil-absorbing cotton 7 and floating net 9. When rain falls, rainwater accumulates in the water-collecting enclosure 6 within the oil pan. The integrated oil-absorbing structure, aided by the floating net 9, floats above the accumulated water. Since oil is lighter than water, even leaking oil will be absorbed by the oil-absorbing cotton 7 on the surface of the accumulated water. As the accumulated water increases, the integrated oil-absorbing structure rises accordingly. Only when the bottom of the water-collecting enclosure 6 rises above the drain hole 3 can the accumulated water in the assembly groove 8 be discharged from the oil pan. At this point, the accumulated water, under the action of the water apron, rises well above the drainage point. Once the accumulated water decreases and the water level falls below the drain hole 3, even if some water remains, it will not affect the oil-absorbing cotton 7's absorption of dripping oil from the equipment. This integrated design of the oil pan ensures that oil is collected and absorbed at the surface of the water and drained from the bottom, preventing residual oil in the assembly groove 8 from flowing out of the pan even in heavy rain. Oil collection remains normal even in heavy rain, and the oil-absorbing cotton 7 can be replaced periodically.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
