Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an oil tank system of a low-pressure screw air compressor. Background Art

[0002] Many industries such as glass, cement, textile, printing and dyeing require compressed air working pressure of only 0.3-0.5MPa. If conventional air compressors are used, it will cause a large waste of electricity. The use of low-pressure screw air compressors can greatly increase the output of compressed air under the same motor power, which can avoid such energy waste accordingly.

[0003] Since the air compressor takes a long time to build up internal pressure when it is just started at extremely low exhaust pressure (0.2-0.3MPa), if the lubricating oil is not delivered to the machine head in time for cooling, problems such as high temperature and jamming of the machine head may occur. To avoid these problems, low-pressure screw air compressors with an exhaust pressure of 0.2-0.3MPa are often equipped with booster pumps.

[0004] When the air compressor is running, the lubricating oil is sprayed out from the oil outlet of the oil-gas separation barrel with a certain pressure. If an ordinary centrifugal pump is used, since the centrifugal pump is mechanical and the mechanical seal is connected to the atmosphere, there will be a risk of lubricating oil leakage. If a magnetic pump is used, it can ensure no leakage, but the price is relatively expensive. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art and to provide an oil tank system for a low-pressure screw air compressor that avoids the risk of lubricating oil leakage.

[0007] In a more preferred embodiment, an oil mirror is provided on the upper portion of the oil tank body, and the oil mirror is used to display the liquid level of the oil tank body.

[0008] In a more preferred embodiment, the top flange of the fuel tank body is also provided with a fuel filling port.

[0009] In a more preferred embodiment, it further comprises a connecting pipe, a ball valve and a Y-type filter, wherein the connecting pipe, the ball valve and the Y-type filter are sequentially connected between the bottom wall of the oil tank body and the oil inlet.

[0010] In a more preferred embodiment, it also includes a pressure detection joint arranged on the oil tank body.

[0011] In a more preferred embodiment, the oil tank body includes a tank body, a top flange and support legs; the top flange cover is arranged on the upper opening of the tank body, and the support legs are arranged at the bottom of the tank body.

[0012] In a more preferred embodiment, the top flange includes a middle opening, the suction port of the immersion pump extends from the middle opening into the box body, and the immersion pump is fixedly connected to the periphery of the middle opening.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The oil tank system provided by the utility model confirms the oil tank flange height and the oil mirror height by calculating the lubricating oil quantity and the volume of the oil tank body. After the oil-gas separation barrel of the micro-oil air compressor forms a communicating vessel with the oil tank, the lubricating oil level is not higher than the highest value of the oil mirror, which can ensure that the lubricating oil quantity in the oil tank body is lower than the volume of the oil tank body.

[0019] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 , an oil tank system of a low-pressure screw air compressor, the oil tank system includes an oil tank body 1, an oil inlet 2, and an immersion pump 3.

The oil-gas separation barrel of the low-pressure screw air compressor is connected to the oil inlet 2, and the oil-gas separation barrel forms a communicating vessel with the oil tank body 1. The amount of lubricating oil in the oil tank body 1 is lower than the volume of the oil tank body 1, and the mechanical seal outlet hole of the submerged pump 3 is at the same height as the top flange 11 of the oil tank body 1, which can avoid the risk of lubricating oil leakage.

[0021] In this embodiment, an oil mirror 12 is provided on the upper part of the oil tank body 1, and the oil mirror 12 is used to display the liquid level of the oil tank body 1. The oil mirror 12 includes a transparent mirror tube, and the upper end and the lower end of the mirror tube are respectively connected to the oil tank body 1 to communicate with the oil tank body 1, and the lubricating oil in the oil tank body 1 can enter the mirror tube from the lower end of the mirror tube to display the liquid level in real time.

[0022] In this embodiment, the top flange 11 of the oil tank body 1 is also provided with a refueling port 13. The refueling port 13 is used to add lubricating oil.

[0023] The oil tank system further comprises a connecting pipe 4 , a ball valve 5 and a Y-type filter 6 , wherein the connecting pipe 4 , the ball valve 5 and the Y-type filter 6 are sequentially connected between the bottom wall of the oil tank body 1 and the oil inlet 2 .
