Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine oil recovery technology, specifically an engine oil recovery device. Background Technology

[0002] Engine oil, or lubricating oil, plays a vital role in engine lubrication, friction reduction, cooling, leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. Engine components move at high speeds in harsh environments, necessitating the use of engine oil to reduce wear and extend service life. When changing engine oil, a recycling system is used to collect the old oil. Existing oil recycling systems consist of an oil reservoir, an oil pump connected to the reservoir, and an oil trough connected to the pump via pipes. When recycling engine oil from an old car, the car is lifted, the dipstick is unscrewed to open the oil filler cap, and the oil trough is placed directly below the oil pan. The drain plug is then loosened, and the oil flows under its own weight into the oil trough. The oil pump then pumps the collected oil from the trough into the oil reservoir for storage. However, during oil recycling, there is often a height difference between the oil outlet and the recycling tank, which can cause oil to spill onto the outside of the recycling tank, affecting the recycling efficiency.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, an existing patent (publication number: CN220851696U) discloses a motor vehicle oil recovery device. Through the configuration of a drive mechanism, the operator pulls the recovery pipe to a suitable length. The engagement of the annular rack and pinion with the drive gear causes the drive gear to rotate, which in turn moves the drive block around the drive gear. This allows the drive block to extend into a second annular groove, where its engagement with the side wall of the groove positions the recovery pipe. This ensures that the recovery funnel on the recovery pipe directly presses against the engine's oil outlet, preventing oil from spilling onto the outside of the recovery pipe and causing waste.

[0004] However, the oil recovery device in the aforementioned public document cannot separate the collected oil during use, causing inconvenience to the staff in the subsequent handling of the oil. Secondly, it cannot automatically remind the staff to handle the oil after the recovery device is full, and there is a risk of oil overflowing from the recovery device.

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an engine oil recovery device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, embodiments of this utility model provide an engine oil recovery device. By setting a separation mechanism, the engine oil can be automatically separated during the oil recovery process, effectively separating larger impurities from the oil for easier subsequent processing by operators. Furthermore, the separation mechanism is movable, which not only accelerates the separation efficiency but also prevents oil from clogging the mechanism. Additionally, by setting two collection boxes, the device can continuously recover engine oil. Moreover, by setting a moving mechanism, when a collection box is full, it can be removed from the device for further processing. Finally, by setting a movable tube and a telescopic tube, the movable tube can directly press against the oil outlet, preventing oil from spilling onto the ground during the recovery process, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An engine oil recovery device includes a recovery device body, a support column fixedly connected to the lower end of the recovery device body, an inlet at the center of the upper end of the recovery device body, a filtration mechanism inside the recovery device body, the filtration mechanism including two limiting grooves on the inner walls of both sides of the recovery device body, limiting rods slidably connected inside the two limiting grooves, a square frame connected between the two limiting rods, a filter screen connected inside the square frame, and a crossbar fixedly connected to the square frame, the crossbar being located above the filter screen.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the filtration mechanism also includes an electrically telescopic rod connected inside the main body of the recycling device. The movable end of the electrically telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, the connecting rod is in a vertical state, the lower end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a crossbar, and an infrared sensor is provided at the feed inlet.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the main body of the recycling device is internally connected to a movable frame, a collection frame is provided on the movable frame, and a lifting block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collection frame.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a moving mechanism is provided inside the main body of the recycling device. The moving mechanism includes a drive motor connected inside the main body of the recycling device, a reciprocating lead screw connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, a connecting block fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable frame, and the reciprocating lead screw and the connecting block are connected by a threaded sleeve.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the moving mechanism also includes a PLC controller and a gravity sensor fixedly connected below the movable frame, and the two are electrically connected. The moving mechanism is provided in two sets, symmetrically distributed inside the main body of the recycling device.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the upper end of the main body of the recycling device, an embedding rod is embedded in the connecting pipe, a movable pipe is fixedly connected to the upper end of the embedding rod, and a telescopic pipe is connected inside the connecting pipe and the movable pipe.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] By incorporating a separation mechanism, the engine oil can be automatically separated during the oil recovery process. This allows for the removal of larger impurities from the oil, facilitating subsequent oil processing by staff. Furthermore, the movable separation mechanism not only accelerates the separation process but also prevents oil blockage. Two collection boxes ensure continuous oil recovery, and the movable mechanism allows the collection box to be removed from the device when full. Finally, the movable and telescopic pipes allow the pipe to be positioned directly against the oil inlet, preventing oil spillage onto the ground during recovery. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, an engine oil recovery device includes a recovery device body 1, which can filter and separate engine oil inside the recovery device body 1. A support column 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the recovery device body 1, which provides good support and fixation for the recovery device body 1. An inlet 3 is provided at the center of the upper end of the recovery device body 1 for engine oil to enter the interior of the recovery device body 1. A movable frame 12 is provided on the recovery device body 1, and there are two collection frames 13 on the movable frame 12 that can be picked up by a lifting block 14. The two collection frames 13 can collect engine oil in turn.

[0023] Two symmetrical limiting grooves 11 are provided on the inner wall of the main body 1 of the recycling device. Limiting rods 10 are slidably connected inside the limiting grooves 11. A square frame 8 is connected between the two limiting rods 10. The square frame 8 is located directly below the feed inlet 3. A filter screen 9 is installed inside the square frame 8. When the oil falls onto the filter screen 9, the filter screen 9 will filter the oil and filter out the larger impurities inside.

[0024] The main body 1 of the recycling device is equipped with an electric telescopic rod 5. A connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the electric telescopic rod 5. The connecting rod 6 is in a vertical state and is connected to the square frame 8 through a crossbar 7. When the electric telescopic rod 5 moves, it will drive the square frame 8 to move through the connecting rod 6 and the crossbar 7, thereby shaking the debris on the filter screen 9 and preventing it from clogging the filter screen 9. An infrared sensor 4 is installed at the feed inlet 3. When the infrared sensor 4 detects that organic oil has passed through, it can control the electric telescopic rod 5 to start working.

[0025] A drive motor 17 is fixedly connected inside the main body 1 of the recycling device. A reciprocating lead screw 18 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 17. A connecting block 19 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable frame 12. The reciprocating lead screw 18 and the connecting block 19 are connected by a threaded sleeve. When the drive motor 17 is working, it drives the connecting block 19 to move back and forth on the reciprocating lead screw 18.

[0026] The bottom of the movable frame 12 is equipped with a PLC controller 15 and a gravity sensor 16. When the oil inside one of the collection frames 13 reaches a certain weight, the gravity sensor 16 sends a signal to the PLC controller 15, which then controls the drive motor 17 to work, thereby moving the movable frame 12 connected to the connecting block 19. This allows the full collection frame 13 to be removed from the device for replacement, and the other empty collection frame 13 to be moved back to the bottom of the feed inlet 3 for oil collection.

[0027] A connecting pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the inlet 3 of the main body 1 of the recycling device. A movable pipe 22 is connected to the connecting pipe 20 through an embedded rod 21. A telescopic pipe 23 is provided inside the connecting pipe 20 and the movable pipe 22. The movable pipe 22 can move up and down based on the connecting pipe 20 and can be directly connected to the oil outlet of the engine to prevent the oil from spilling onto the ground during the oil recycling process.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the device is needed for oil recovery, the height of the movable tube 22 can be adjusted according to the height of the engine oil filler neck. The movable tube 22 can be moved directly by the embedded rod 21. The movable tube 22 is connected to a folded telescopic tube 23. When the movable tube 22 moves to completely block the oil filler neck, it stops, and the telescopic tube 23 retracts simultaneously, thus fixing the movable tube 22. Oil recovery at this time can avoid oil spillage on the ground during the recovery process, which is very convenient. The recovered oil will enter the body 1 of the recovery device through the movable tube 22, the telescopic tube 23, and the feed inlet 3. When the oil passes through the feed inlet 3, it will be detected by the infrared sensor 4, which will then drive the electric telescopic rod 5 to work. This will drive the frame 8 to move through the connecting rod 6 and the crossbar 7. The filter screen 9 inside the frame 8 will also move along with it, and the oil passing through the feed inlet 3 will fall onto the filter screen 9. The filter screen 9 filters the engine oil, separating larger impurities. The filter screen 9 moves back and forth, accelerating the filtration process and preventing clogging. The filtered oil falls into the collection box 13 of the lower movable frame 12. When the oil in the collection box 13 reaches a certain weight, it is detected by the gravity sensor 16, which sends a signal to the PLC controller 15. This controls the drive motor 17 to start working. The drive motor 17 drives the reciprocating screw 18 to rotate synchronously, causing the connecting block 19 to move on the reciprocating screw 18. This moves the movable frame 12, removing one collection box 13 containing oil from the device. Simultaneously, the other empty collection box 13 moves back to below the filter screen 9 to continue collecting oil. At this point, the oil-filled collection box 13 can be removed from the movable frame 12 using the lifting block 14, thus processing the oil.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
