Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water-oil guide grooves of water turbines, and particularly relates to an oil sampling device installed on a cover plate of the water-oil guide groove. Background Art

[0002] There are currently two main ways to take oil samples from the water-oil guide tank of a turbine: one is to take oil from the oil sampling valve provided in the water-oil guide tank. The oil sampling valve designed for the water-oil guide tank is located on the oil basin at the bottom of the tank; the other is to take oil samples by opening the plexiglass observation window arranged on the cover of the water-oil guide tank.

[0003] However, the prior art has the following disadvantages:

[0004] First, because the main shaft seal is located below the oil pan, the water flow from the main shaft seal accumulates in the top cover. When taking oil samples through the oil sampling valve on the oil pan at the bottom of the water guide tank, the staff needs to wear rain pants and go down to the vicinity of the oil sampling valve below the oil pan. During the oil sampling process, due to the rotation of the unit, the water splashed outward from the main shaft seal can easily splash into the oil sample bottle, and the oil sample collected can be mixed with impurities, seriously affecting the test results. The risk of staff going up and down the top cover is relatively high. Not only are they prone to slipping and falling, they may also touch the rotating parts of the unit, which may cause more serious consequences. Frequent opening and closing of the oil sampling valve can easily cause it to be loosely closed or even fail, which may cause the oil in the oil pan to leak out, seriously threatening the safe and stable operation of the unit.

[0005] Second, when taking oil samples through the plexiglass observation window on the water-guide oil tank cover, there's a risk of foreign objects falling into the tank. This is often done by placing the sample bottle directly into the tank to scoop out the oil, which can easily contaminate the oil in the tank. When the observation window is opened during startup, a large amount of oil splashes out, making sampling difficult and causing environmental pollution. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil sampling device installed on the water-oil guide groove cover.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is:

[0008] An oil sampling device installed on a water-guide oil tank cover plate includes a flange installed on the oil tank cover plate, a piston tube is fixed to the lower side of the flange, the lower end of the piston tube is connected to an oil inlet structure, the lower end of the oil inlet structure is connected to an oil suction pipe, and the oil suction pipe extends into the oil tank; a piston is provided in the piston tube, an operating rod is connected to the piston, the other end of the operating rod extends out of the flange, the piston rod is provided with an oil outlet structure, the flange is connected to an oil outlet pipe, and the oil outlet pipe is connected to the upper part of the piston tube.

[0009] This utility model is designed based on the principle of atmospheric pressure. During operation, the operator uses the operating handle to make the piston reciprocate up and down. In this way, the oil sample can be obtained by simply placing the oil sample bottle under the outlet of the oil outlet pipe. As the piston reciprocates up and down, the oil flows out through the oil outlet pipe, and the oil sample can be obtained smoothly.

[0010] This utility model is installed on the cover of the water-guide oil tank, featuring a simple structure and easy implementation.

When the piston moves upward again, the oil outlet metal ball is located in the oil outlet sealing conical cavity, sealing the oil outlet, and the oil on the upper part of the piston flows into the oil sampling bottle through the oil outlet pipe.

[0013] As a preferred solution of the present invention, one end of the operating rod extending out of the flange is connected to a handle.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the end of the oil outlet pipe away from the flange is connected to a dust cover.

[0017] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a plurality of bolt holes are provided on the flange, and the bolt holes on the flange are connected to the oil tank cover plate by bolts.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an operating rod seal is provided between the operating rod and the flange.

[0031] The utility model is designed based on the principle of atmospheric pressure. During operation, the operator operates the handle 1 to make the piston 12 reciprocate up and down. In this way, the oil sample can be obtained by simply placing the oil sample bottle under the outlet of the oil outlet pipe 2.

When the piston 12 moves downward, the oil outlet metal ball 5 moves upward, the oil outlet is opened, and the oil reaches the upper piston tube 11 of the piston 12. When the piston 12 moves upward again, the oil outlet metal ball 5 is located in the oil outlet sealing conical cavity 6, sealing the oil outlet, and the oil above the piston 12 flows into the oil sampling bottle through the oil outlet pipe 2.

[0034] For easy operation, one end of the operating rod 17 extending out of the flange 4 is connected to the handle 1 .

[0035] The end of the oil outlet pipe 2 away from the flange 4 is connected to a dust cover 3.

[0040] The flange 4 is provided with a connecting pipe, which is connected to the upper portion of the piston tube 11 , and the oil outlet pipe 2 is connected to the connecting pipe.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] The device is designed mainly based on the principle of atmospheric pressure. During operation, the staff uses the operating handle 1 to make the piston 12 reciprocate up and down. In this way, the oil sample can be obtained by simply placing the oil sample bottle under the outlet of the oil outlet pipe 2. A piston seal 13 is installed on the outside of the piston 12, and the seal is made of an O-ring. When the piston 12 moves upward, the gas above the piston 12 is discharged from the oil outlet pipe 2, and a negative pressure is generated in the space below the piston 12. The oil inlet metal ball 10 moves upward, the oil inlet opens, and the oil outlet metal ball 5 is in the oil outlet sealing conical cavity 6, sealing the oil outlet, and the oil enters the space below the piston 12. When the piston 12 runs to the top dead center and stops, the oil inlet metal ball 5 falls down to the initial position of the oil inlet sealing conical cavity 8 because its density is greater than that of the turbine oil. As piston 12 moves downward, the oil inlet is sealed by inlet metal ball 10, and oil outlet metal ball 5 moves upward, opening the oil outlet, allowing oil to reach the upper piston tube 11 of piston 12. As piston 12 moves upward again, oil outlet metal ball 5 is located in oil outlet sealing conical cavity 6, sealing the oil outlet. The oil above piston 12 flows into the oil sampling bottle through oil outlet pipe 2. After this reciprocating operation, the oil will flow out through oil outlet pipe 2, and the oil sample can be successfully collected.

[0043] The outlet pipe 2 of the device is equipped with a dust cap 3, which is opened before oil sampling and replaced afterward, effectively preventing external environmental contamination of the oil. An O-ring seal 16 is provided between the operating rod 17 and the flange 4, creating a closed space above the piston 12 to facilitate the pressure of oil to the outlet pipe 2 and similarly prevent external environmental contamination.

[0044] The utility model is installed on the water oil guide groove cover plate, has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0045] The operation is simple for the staff, saving time and effort, and high efficiency. One staff member can complete the oil sampling work.

[0046] The oil sampling work is not affected by the start and stop of the machine, and can be carried out even when the machine is on. The staff does not need to go down into the top cover, which greatly improves the safety of the staff.

[0047] The oil sample taken by the device is not affected by the external environment and can truly reflect the oil quality condition of the oil in the oil tank.

[0048] The device can also be installed on the upper oil guide groove for use.

[0049] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optional implementation methods. Anyone can derive various other forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in the shape or structure, any technical solution that falls within the scope defined by the claims of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
