[0002] In the protection of natural resources, grease pollution accounts for a large proportion. Due to the particularity of oil and water incompatibility, it exceeds the scope of the self-purification capacity of water resources. Therefore, a grease recovery machine is needed to clean the grease in water resources.

[0003] Traditional grease recovery machines are mostly devices that use three suspended balls with an oil collection bucket to make the oil flow from the water surface into the oil collector by gravity and then pump the oil in the oil collector into the oil storage container;

Therefore, we propose a grease recovery machine. Utility Model Content

The left and right ends of the bottom of the front side of the frame 4 are respectively provided with driving grooves, and the bottom of the frame 4 is fixedly connected with a bracket 3. An oil tank 10 is placed in the middle of the upper end of the frame 3, and the upper end of the oil tank 10 is connected to the bottom end of the conical drain groove 12 through a collecting pipe. An oil outlet is arranged on the right side of the oil tank 10. Two shielding frames 7 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame 4, and acrylic plates are fixedly installed on the upper ends of the two shielding frames 7. Towing ears are respectively arranged at the four corners of the upper end of the frame 4. A conical drain groove 12 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the frame 4. The conical drain groove 12 is located between the two fiber brushes 6. The front and rear sides of the conical drain groove 12 are provided with inclined scraper plates. The single-chip microcomputer 8 controls the two motors 11 to rotate in opposite directions to each other. The two motors 11 respectively drive the fiber brushes 6 connected thereto to rotate, and the bristles of the fiber brushes 6 contact the scraper plates at the edge of the conical drain groove 12, so that the grease adsorbed by the fiber brush 6 is scraped into the conical drain groove 12, and the scraped grease finally flows into the oil tank 10 through the conical drain groove 12.

[0026] Travel drive mechanism 2: It is arranged on the inner wall of the driving groove. The upper end of the bracket 3 is connected to the lower end of the travel drive mechanism 2 by bolts. The travel drive mechanism 2 includes a cylinder 23, a first gear 24, a second gear 25, a propeller 26 and a pull rod 27. The bottom of the cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the driving groove. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 23 is rotatably connected to the pull rod 27 through a pin shaft. The inner wall of the driving groove near the longitudinal center of the frame 4 is rotatably connected to the first gear 24 and the propeller 26 through a rotating shaft. A second gear 25 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft, and the first gear 24 and the second gear 25 located in the same driving groove are meshed and connected. The side edge of the first gear 24 away from the longitudinal center of the frame 4 is provided with an adjustment pin shaft, and the front end of the pull rod 27 is rotatably connected with the adjustment pin shaft located in the same driving groove. The travel drive mechanism 2 also includes an air pump 21 and a solenoid valve 22. The air pump 21 is respectively installed on the upper end of the bracket 3 by bolts, and the air holes of the air pump 21 are respectively connected to the air vents of the adjacent cylinders 23 through pipes. The electromagnetic valves 22 are connected in series to the middle of the pipelines. The input end of the air pump 21 is electrically connected to the output end of the single chip computer 8. The single chip computer 8 regulates the operation of the air pump 21 and the electromagnetic valve 22. The air pump 21 provides power to inject gas into the cylinder 23 through the pipeline. During the process of the piston in the cylinder 23 moving inward, the volume in the cylinder 23 decreases and the gas is compressed. When the piston in the cylinder 23 reaches the innermost position, the exhaust pipeline of the air pump 21 is powered off and closed through the electromagnetic valve 22 to prevent the gas from flowing back. Subsequently, the piston in the cylinder 23 begins to move. When the piston of the cylinder 23 reaches the outermost position, the air intake pipe of the air pump 21 is powered off and closed through the electromagnetic valve 22 in series to prevent the gas from flowing back. In this way, the air pump 21 continuously compresses the gas from the low-pressure area to the high-pressure area, and finally drives the first gear 24 to rotate on its rotating shaft through the pull rod 27, thereby driving the meshed second gear 25 to rotate, so that the propeller 26 is continuously turned over, thereby moving the liquid surface to achieve movement.

[0027] Wherein: the input end of the single chip microcomputer 8 is electrically connected to the external power supply, and the input end of the motor 11 is electrically connected to the output end of the single chip microcomputer 8 .

[0028] The working principle of a grease recovery machine provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0029] The staff puts the rack 4 into the water area where grease needs to be recovered, ties a rope to one of the traction ears at the front end of the rack 4, opens the installation slot door 5, starts the single-chip computer 8, and closes the installation slot door 5 after the single-chip computer 8 is turned on to start the oil collection operation. The single-chip computer 8 controls the two motors 11 to rotate in opposite directions to each other. The two motors 11 respectively drive the fiber brushes 6 connected thereto to rotate and absorb the grease on the upper layer of the water area. Then, the bristles of the fiber brush 6 contact the scraper at the edge of the conical drain groove 12, and the grease absorbed by the fiber brush 6 is scraped into the conical drain groove 12. The scraped grease finally flows into the oil tank 10 through the conical drain groove 12. At the same time, the single-chip computer 8 controls the operation of the air pump 21 and the solenoid valve 22. The air pump 21 provides power to inject gas into the cylinder 23 through the pipeline. During the inward movement of the piston in the cylinder 23, the volume in the cylinder 23 decreases, and the gas is compressed. When the piston in the cylinder 23 reaches the innermost position, the exhaust pipe of the air pump 21 is powered off and closed by the electromagnetic valve 22 to prevent the gas from flowing back. Subsequently, the piston of the cylinder 23 begins to move outward, the volume in the cylinder 23 increases, and the gas is drawn into the cylinder 23. When the piston of the cylinder 23 reaches the outermost position, the intake pipe of the air pump 21 is powered off and closed by the electromagnetic valve 22 connected in series to prevent the gas from flowing back. This cycle repeats itself, and the air pump 21 continuously compresses the gas from the low-pressure area to the high-pressure area, and finally drives the first gear 24 to rotate on its rotating shaft through the pull rod 27, thereby driving the meshed second gear 25 to rotate, so that the propeller 26 is continuously flipped, and then the liquid level is moved to achieve movement. During the operation, the direction of the oil skimmer can be controlled by the rope in the hands of the operator, and the grease in the oil tank 10 only needs to be removed within a unit time.

[0030] It is worth noting that the single-chip microcomputer 8 disclosed in the above embodiment can select a 51 series single-chip microcomputer, the motor 11 can select a BMU series motor, the air pump 21 and the solenoid valve 22 can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario, and the single-chip microcomputer 8 controls the motor 11, the air pump 21 and the solenoid valve 22 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
