Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of auxiliary oil change devices for auxiliary engines of tugboats, in particular to an auxiliary oil change device for auxiliary engines of tugboats. Background Art

[0002] Tugboats, also known as tugboats, are used to tow ships that do not have the ability to propel themselves or to assist large cargo ships in entering and leaving ports, berthing, or to rescue ships in distress at sea. Without tugboats, large ships cannot enter ports, berth and leave berths. In the event of a maritime accident, the safety of crew members and the safety of ship property cannot be guaranteed, and large oil and drilling platforms cannot be produced normally. Tugboats play an important role in shipping, ports, and ship economy and are indispensable. The interior of a tugboat includes a control room, a main engine, and an auxiliary engine. In simple terms, the auxiliary engine includes two parts: one is the prime mover diesel engine that provides power, and the other is the power generation equipment. The operation of the diesel engine drives the crankshaft to rotate in the magnetic field to generate high voltage, which is then converted into the 400V and 220V voltages commonly used on our ships through a transformer to provide power for the tugboat power equipment and daily lighting. Therefore, the auxiliary engine diesel generator plays a key role in the normal operation of the tugboat. During the normal operation of the diesel generator, replacing the oil pan lubricating oil is an essential operation.

[0003] Usually, the oil change operation is performed manually by the crew. The hatch cover of the residual oil tank at the bottom of the diesel engine is opened, and containers such as oil drums are placed under the hatch cover to collect the residual oil. Due to the small space in the cabin and the narrow installation position of the diesel engine, it is very inconvenient for the staff to use oil drums to collect the residual oil. The residual oil is easily spilled due to the deviation in the placement of the oil drums. The spilled residual oil is not only easy to clean, but also very likely to cause a fire. At the same time, in the process of transferring the oil drums, it is easy to cause spillage due to the bumps of the cabin on the water, which may pollute the cabin and the external water body. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above existing technical problems, the utility model provides an auxiliary oil changing device for a tugboat auxiliary engine, which is characterized by being composed of a supporting structure, a pumping structure, and an oiling structure. The pumping structure is installed above the supporting structure, and the oiling structure is installed on the side of the pumping structure.

[0005] The support structure consists of a fixed bottom plate, fixed bolts, buffer groove A, buffer groove B, triangular support plate A, triangular support plate B, baffle, support seat, side plate A, side plate B, and support plate. The fixed bolts are distributed at the four corners of the fixed bottom plate to fix the fixed bottom plate on the cabin deck. A buffer groove A is opened on one side of the fixed bottom plate, and a buffer groove B is opened on the side of the buffer groove A. A baffle is welded to the side of the fixed bottom plate between the buffer groove A and the buffer groove B. One side of the baffle is welded with a triangular support plate A, and the bottom surface of the triangular support plate A is welded to the cabin deck inside the buffer groove A. The other side of the baffle is welded with a triangular support plate B, and the bottom surface of the triangular support plate B is welded to the cabin deck inside the buffer groove B. A support seat is welded above the fixed bottom plate inside the baffle. A side plate A is installed above one side of the support seat, and a side plate B is installed above the other side of the support seat. A support plate is installed above the support seat between the side plate A and the side plate B. A hole is opened in the middle of the support plate.

[0006] The pumping structure consists of an arc-shaped positioning buckle, positioning bolts, a hand-operated pump body, a hand-operated handle, a connecting pipe, and an oil outlet pipe. The hand-operated pump body passes through the hole in the support plate. A hand-operated handle is installed at one end of the hand-operated pump body, and an oil outlet pipe is installed on one side of the hand-operated pump body. An arc-shaped positioning buckle is tightly clamped and installed outside the hand-operated pump body, and several positioning bolts are installed on the surface of the arc-shaped positioning buckle to fix the arc-shaped positioning buckle on one side of the support plate. A connecting pipe is installed at the other end of the hand-operated pump body.

[0007] The oil filling structure consists of an oil inlet pipe, a right-angle valve, and a valve switch. One end of the oil inlet pipe is connected to the right-angle valve, a valve switch is installed on one side of the right-angle valve, and the other side of the right-angle valve is connected to the connecting pipe.

[0008] The upper surface of the support seat is arc-shaped.

[0009] Preferably, the oil inlet pipe, the oil outlet pipe, and the connecting pipe are all oil-resistant rubber hoses.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present utility model:

[0011] The auxiliary device for changing oil of the tugboat auxiliary engine of the present utility model uses components such as a right-angle valve and a hand-operated pump to directly pump the waste oil of the diesel engine, eliminating the need for crew to manually collect the waste oil with oil drums. This reduces the use and transfer times of oil drums, simplifies the oil change process, reduces the workload and working time of the crew, improves the oil change efficiency, reduces the pollution of the cabin interior and the water environment caused by waste oil leakage during the collection of waste oil and the transfer of oil drums, and at the same time reduces the fire hazard and the risk of waste oil leaking to the bottom of the cabin, ensuring the safe operation of the ship. This device uses a support seat and a support plate to fix the position of the hand-operated pump, and uses a triangular support plate to increase the stability of the hand-operated pump fixation, making it not prone to tipping during the bumpy movement in the cabin. At the same time, buffer grooves are designed to reserve space for the slight displacement of the hand-operated pump during use due to the bumpy movement of the cabin, enabling it to better adapt to the use environment on the water surface.
