[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] This embodiment discloses a turnout oil sump cleaning device, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this invention aims to provide an efficient, convenient, and environmentally friendly oil sump cleaning solution, suitable for the maintenance and cleaning of turnout oil sumps. The composition and working principle of the device are described in detail below.
[0025] The turnout oil sump cleaning device mainly includes an oil sump 1, an oil pump 2, a refueling tank 3, and a waste oil tank 4. The oil sump 1 is used to collect oil, while the oil pump 2 serves as the drive device for circulating and transferring the oil. The refueling tank 3 stores new oil, and the waste oil tank 4 collects old and waste oil discharged from the oil sump.
[0026] The refueling tank 3 is equipped with a first oil pipe 31 extending into its bottom, and the oil sump 1 is equipped with a second oil pipe 11 extending into its bottom. A first three-way solenoid valve 5 is provided between the upper end of the first oil pipe 31, the upper end of the second oil pipe 11, and the oil inlet of the oil pump 2. The oil sump 1 is also equipped with a third oil pipe 12 extending into it, and the waste oil tank 4 is equipped with a fourth oil pipe 41 extending into it. A second three-way solenoid valve 6 is provided between the upper end of the third oil pipe 12, the upper end of the fourth oil pipe 41, and the oil outlet of the oil pump 2.
[0027] To ensure operational accuracy, the upper part of the fuel tank 3 is equipped with a fuel filler port 33, through which the user can easily add cleaning oil or new oil. The fuel filler port is also equipped with a removable sealing cap 34 to ensure that the oil does not easily leak. Preferably, the sealing cap 34 is threaded to the fuel filler port 33, which is simple and convenient for the user to operate.
[0028] In addition, the bottom of the waste oil tank 4 is equipped with an oil drain pipe 43, and an oil drain valve 44 is installed on the oil drain pipe 43 so that the old oil can be drained after cleaning to ensure the cleanliness of the working environment.
[0029] The lower end of the third oil pipe 12 is equipped with a rotating nozzle 121. During the oil tank cleaning process, the nozzle can spray oil to clean the inner wall of the oil tank 1 from all directions, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0030] To prevent impurities in the oil from affecting subsequent operations, a removable filter assembly 7 is also provided on the third oil pipe 12. Typically, this filter assembly 7 consists of a housing 71 formed by two joined halves and a fixing member 72 that secures the housing 71. The fixing member 72 is preferably a clamp. The housing 71 contains a replaceable filter element 73, which filters impurities in the oil. The filter element 73 typically uses a filter cotton or similar filtration structure. The filter element 73 is removable and replaceable, facilitating subsequent maintenance and cleaning.
[0031] Furthermore, the refueling tank 3 is provided with a first scale 32, and the waste oil tank 4 is provided with a second scale 42, which facilitates intuitive statistics and control of the amount of refueling.
[0032] The specific cleaning process consists of the following steps:
[0033] S1) Draining Old Oil: First, the second oil pipe 11 is connected to the oil inlet of the oil pump 2 through the first three-way solenoid valve 5, and at the same time, the oil outlet of the oil pump 2 is connected to the fourth oil pipe 41 through the second three-way solenoid valve 6. Then, the oil pump 2 is started to draw the old oil from the oil sump 1 into the waste oil tank 4. After the drawing is completed, the reading of the old oil in the waste oil tank 4 is recorded. Finally, the drain valve 44 is opened to drain the old oil.
[0034] S2) Refueling: After draining the old oil from the oil tank, open the sealing cap 34 and add cleaning oil of the same volume as the old oil to the refueling tank 3, then replace the sealing cap 34. Next, connect the first oil pipe 31 to the oil inlet of the oil pump 2 via the first three-way solenoid valve 5, and connect the oil outlet of the oil pump 2 to the third oil pipe 12 via the second three-way solenoid valve 6. After starting the oil pump 2, the cleaning oil is drawn from the refueling tank 3 into the oil tank 1.
[0035] S3) Circulation Cleaning: After refueling, the state of the solenoid valves is readjusted. The first three-way solenoid valve 5 connects the second oil pipe 11 to the oil inlet of the oil pump 2, and the second three-way solenoid valve 6 connects the oil outlet of the oil pump 2 to the third oil pipe 12. After starting the oil pump 2, the cleaning oil circulates between the oil sump 1, the second oil pipe 11, the oil pump 2, and the third oil pipe 12, and is effectively cleaned through the filter assembly 7 and the rotating nozzle 121 to ensure that the inner wall of the oil sump is thoroughly cleaned.
[0036] S4) Discharge waste oil: After cleaning is completed, repeat step S1 to discharge the waste oil in oil tank 1 to ensure that the cleaning work is thorough.
[0037] S5) Add new oil: Finally, repeat step S2 to add new oil to oil tank 1 to ensure the normal operation of the turnout oil tank.
[0038] Through the above process, the turnout oil sump cleaning device can achieve efficient and convenient cleaning and maintenance, ensuring the good working condition of the oil sump and providing a strong guarantee for the normal operation of the turnout.
