Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine parts, in particular to a spiral oil-gas separator. Background Art
[0002] An engine is a device that provides power for a power equipment and is the heart of the power equipment. During the operation of the engine, the engine mixes air and fuel in a certain proportion, sucks the mixture into the cylinder during the intake stroke, and the mixture is compressed, ignited and burned to generate heat energy. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas acts on the top of the piston, pushing the piston to move, so as to achieve work, and outputs mechanical energy through internal mechanisms such as connecting rods and crankshafts to drive the power equipment to operate.
[0003] In the related art, during the operation of the engine, since the piston continuously rubs against the inner wall of the combustion chamber during the movement, even if the connection relationship between the two is a precise fit, some gases will leak out. This part of the leaked gas enters the cavity of the engine body, generating high-pressure gas impact on other parts inside the body, resulting in oil leakage at places such as oil seals and sealing gaskets. Therefore, exhaust operation is required.
[0004] In the actual exhaust process, the exhausted gas is a mixture of air and engine oil. Direct emission will cause waste of engine oil. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an oil-gas separator to separate the above-mentioned oil-gas mixture. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] In order to separate the exhausted mixed oil and gas and save energy, the present application provides a spiral oil-gas separator.
[0006] The spiral oil-gas separator provided by the present application adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A spiral oil-gas separator includes an outer tube, a spiral plate, an upper sealing plate and a lower sealing plate. The upper sealing plate and the lower sealing plate are arranged on both sides of the outer tube. The spiral plate is arranged inside the outer tube and between the upper sealing plate and the lower sealing plate. The spiral plate is connected to the upper sealing plate and the lower sealing plate. A separation chamber is formed between the inner wall of the outer tube and the spiral plate, the upper sealing plate and the lower sealing plate. The lower sealing plate is provided with an air inlet communicating with the separation chamber, the lower sealing plate is provided with an oil outlet communicating with the separation chamber, and the outer tube is provided with an air outlet communicating with the separation chamber.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the more turns the spiral plate has, the better the separation effect. Generally, it is not less than two and a half turns. This separator is installed on the engine and can be connected to a gas treatment device for recovering and treating exhaust gas before discharging. The mixed gas discharged from the engine enters the separation chamber through the air inlet. The spiral plate forces the mixed gas to flow along the plate wall. Since the engine oil in the mixed gas has relatively high viscosity, it will be adsorbed on the plate wall during the flow process and flow downward along the spiral plate wall, and then flow back to the engine internal oil collection through the oil return port. The separated gas is discharged from the air outlet on the top wall of the outer pipe and enters the gas treatment device for treatment, thus realizing oil-gas separation, achieving the effects of saving engine oil, reducing environmental pollution, discharging oil and gas in time, reducing the operation cost of the engine and improving the operation reliability of the engine.

[0013] Preferably, the lower sealing plate is provided with an oil outlet groove, and the oil outlet is arranged on the bottom wall of the oil outlet groove.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the oil outlet groove is used to collect the engine oil on the spiral plate wall. At the same time, the oil outlet groove reduces the possibility of the engine oil flowing back through the air inlet and flowing back into the engine, reducing the possibility of the engine oil reflux affecting the engine performance. At the same time, it can better collect the engine oil, improve the efficiency of engine oil recovery and save energy.
[0015] Preferably, the oil outlet groove is provided with a flow guiding block.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the collected engine oil is drained through the flow guiding block, so that the engine oil flows into the oil outlet for recovery, reducing the possibility of the engine oil missing the oil outlet and remaining in the separation chamber, and improving the efficiency of engine oil recovery.
[0017] Preferably, an assembly component is provided between the upper sealing plate and the outer tube. The assembly component is used to assemble the upper sealing plate and the outer tube.

The first assembly block is provided with a first assembly groove, and the second assembly block is inserted into the first assembly groove and is threadedly connected with the first assembly groove.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper sealing plate can be disassembled through the assembly component, so as to clean the inner wall of the appearance and the spiral plate, thereby improving the cleanliness. During disassembly, rotate the upper sealing plate to drive the second assembly block to rotate and withdraw from the first assembly groove to disassemble the upper sealing plate. During installation, insert the second assembly block into the first assembly groove of the first assembly block, and rotate the upper sealing plate so that the second assembly block is threadedly connected with the first assembly groove, and the operation is simple and convenient.
[0019] Preferably, the assembly component includes a third assembly block. The first assembly block is provided with a second assembly groove, and the third assembly block is arranged on the upper sealing plate and inserted into the second assembly groove.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the second assembly block is inserted into the first assembly groove, the third assembly block is inserted into the second assembly groove on the first assembly block. By providing the third assembly block inserted into the second assembly groove, the connection stability and sealing performance between the upper sealing plate and the outer tube are improved, the possibility of leakage of the mixed gas is reduced, environmental pollution is reduced, and oil spillage is avoided while saving energy.
[0021] Preferably, the spiral plate is connected to the lower sealing plate. The spiral plate is provided with a connecting plate, and the connecting plate is connected to the inner wall of the outer tube.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the spiral plate is connected to the lower sealing plate and is connected to the inner wall of the outer tube through the connecting plate, thereby improving the installation stability of the spiral plate, improving the sealing performance between the spiral plate, the lower sealing plate and the outer tube, reducing the possibility of oil or gas cross-flow, and improving the separation and recovery effect.
