Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lubricating oil processing, in particular to a lubricating oil heating device. Background Art

[0002] Lubricating oil is a functional liquid applied between two relatively moving objects, which can reduce the friction and wear generated by the contact of the two objects. Lubricating oil is a liquid or semi-solid lubricant used in various types of automobiles and mechanical equipment to reduce friction and protect machinery and processed parts. It mainly plays roles such as lubrication, auxiliary cooling, rust prevention, cleaning, sealing and buffering. When lubricating oil is produced, it needs to be heated. Usually, a large-capacity storage tank is used for centralized heating. When specifically heating, an electric heating tube or an electric heating wire gradually heats the lubricating oil from the bottom of the storage tank, resulting in slow heating effect. And because the lubricating oil is directly heated, due to the small heating point of the lubricating oil, the lubricating oil is heated unevenly, and at the same time, it may cause the local temperature of the lubricating oil to be too high, damaging the components of the lubricating oil and reducing the service life of the lubricating oil. For this reason, we propose a lubricating oil heating device. Content of the Utility Model

The outside of the bottom of the steam heating structure is connected to the space between the oil storage tank 2 and the flow guide plate 8, and then heats the bottom of the oil storage tank 2, making its heating more sufficient. At the same time, the steam passes through the inner heat transfer tubes 16. Under the rotation and heating action of the inner heat transfer tubes 16, it can stir and heat the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 2 at the same time. Under the stirring action, the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 2 can be continuously flowed, making the heating of the lubricating oil more sufficient.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the flow guide plate 8 is conical, the oil storage tank 2 is inverted conical. The flow guide plate 8 can play a role in gathering water vapor, and the oil storage tank 2 can increase the contact area with water vapor. And the flow guide plate 8 and the bottom of the heating main body 1 form a water storage cavity 11 for storing water. A water injection hole 5 is opened on the outer side of the top of the water storage cavity 11. Through the water injection hole 5, water can be injected into the water storage cavity 11. An oil injection hole 3 communicating with the oil storage tank 2 is opened at the top of the heating main body 1, enabling the lubricating oil to be smoothly injected into the oil storage tank 2. And under normal circumstances, the oil injection hole 3 and the water injection hole 5 are plugged to facilitate the storage of the lubricating oil. At the same time, an oil outlet pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the oil storage tank 2. The oil outlet pipe 6 is connected to the outside, enabling the lubricating oil to be smoothly discharged.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , an electromagnetic valve 19 is installed in the oil outlet pipe 6. Through the electromagnetic valve 19, the lubricating oil can enter the oil outlet pipe 6 or be stored in the oil storage tank 2. A partition plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the outside of the flow guide plate 8. The top of the partition plate 7 does not contact the heating main body 1, and an annular return cavity 9 is formed between the partition plate 7 and the inner wall of the heating main body 1. The return cavity 9 is communicated with the top of the flow guide plate 8, enabling water vapor to smoothly flow into the return cavity 9.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , a return hole 10 communicating with the water storage chamber 11 is provided at the bottom of the return chamber 9, so that the water in the return chamber 9 can flow back into the water storage chamber 11. A motor 13 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the heating body 1, and the output shaft of the motor 13 is connected to the top end of the steam heating structure. Driven by the output shaft of the motor 13, the steam heating structure can rotate. The motor 13 is a prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the steam heating structure includes an outer sleeve 15, an air outlet 17, and an inner sleeve 18. The bottom end inside the outer sleeve 15 is fixed to the outside of the inner sleeve 18. An air outlet 17 inclined upward from the inside to the outside is provided at the bottom end of the outer sleeve 15, and the air outlet 17 faces the middle of the bottom of the oil storage tank 2, so that the water vapor can heat the bottom of the oil storage tank 2.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , a steam channel is formed between the inner sleeve 18 and the outer sleeve 15, and the middle of the steam channel is blocked to separate the two ends of the inner heat transfer tube 16, so that the water vapor can smoothly pass through the inner heat transfer tube 16.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , a plurality of spaced connecting columns 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner sleeve 18, and a stirring paddle 12 located below the water level of the water storage chamber 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting column 14.

[0029] In summary, when the lubricating oil heating device is in use, driven by the output shaft of the motor 13, the steam heating structure can rotate, and then the connecting column 14 can drive the stirring paddle 12 to rotate, stirring the water in the water storage chamber 11. Under the heating of the electric heating tube 4, the water in the water storage chamber 11 can be heated and evaporated. The evaporated water vapor flows into the inner sleeve 18 under the aggregation of the deflector 8, then enters the steam channel, and enters the inner heat transfer tube 16. The inner heat transfer tube 16 can stir and heat the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 2 at the same time. Then the water vapor flows back into the steam channel through the inner heat transfer tube 16 and flows to the bottom of the oil storage tank 2 through the air outlet 17, heating the oil storage tank 2 comprehensively, so that the lubricating oil is heated more sufficiently. The water droplets condensed by losing heat flow into the return chamber 9 and flow back into the water storage chamber 11 through the return hole 10.
