Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic oil tank technology, specifically a hydraulic oil tank and an aerial work platform. Background Technology
[0002] A hydraulic oil tank is a container specifically designed to store the hydraulic fluid required by the hydraulic system, and it is an indispensable component of an aerial work platform. The functions of a hydraulic oil tank include storing oil, balancing pressure, dissipating heat, settling impurities, and managing oil cleanliness.
[0003] Existing hydraulic oil tanks can cause air bubbles to form in the hydraulic oil during the return process. For example, if the return oil pipe is higher than the oil level in the tank, air will be entrained into the tank during the hydraulic system's return flow, resulting in air bubbles. If these air bubbles enter the hydraulic system, they not only increase the volume of the hydraulic oil, reducing the system's efficiency, but also cause vibration and noise. Furthermore, air bubbles can concentrate frictional heat in the hydraulic system, causing the hydraulic oil temperature to rise. Excessively high temperatures can reduce the viscosity of the hydraulic oil, affecting the system's operational accuracy and control stability, and even leading to malfunctions and damage to the hydraulic system, thus preventing the aerial work platform from operating normally.
[0004] At the same time, when the hydraulic oil returns, it impacts the inside of the oil tank, causing the hydraulic oil inside the tank to shake. This not only generates more air bubbles, but also stirs up the residue in the hydraulic oil, affecting the sedimentation and treatment of the residue.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a hydraulic oil tank and an aerial work platform to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0034] An aerial work platform, wherein the aerial work platform is equipped with the aforementioned hydraulic oil tank.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0036] As described above, the hydraulic oil tank of this invention, when applied to an aerial work platform, utilizes several through holes in a partition to ensure smooth hydraulic oil flow while slowing down the flow rate, thus cooling and mitigating impact, and facilitating the release of air bubbles from the hydraulic oil. Simultaneously, the partition isolates a separate first return oil chamber within the return oil chamber. When hydraulic oil returns, the closed first return oil chamber effectively reduces the impact of high-pressure return oil on the tank's interior, resulting in smoother hydraulic oil flow and reduced air bubble generation during return. Furthermore, this invention also includes a partition with through holes in the suction chamber, dividing it into a first suction chamber and a second suction chamber, further promoting the release of air bubbles from the tank.
[0037] This invention also includes a first return oil pipe. The pipe body passes through the first and second suction chambers and connects to the third return oil chamber. This simplifies the design of the hydraulic component's return oil pipeline, making the pipeline route more concise and clear, and facilitating both installation and subsequent maintenance. Simultaneously, since the hydraulic oil temperature in the suction chamber is lower than the return oil temperature, the return oil can dissipate heat as it flows through the suction chamber, thus lowering the temperature of the hydraulic oil returning to the return chamber. Furthermore, the extended length of the return oil pipe effectively mitigates return oil impact and reduces the generation of air bubbles.
[0038] This invention features a first through hole in the first partition between the first and second return oil chambers, through which a built-in return oil filter is installed. The main valve returns oil separately to the first return oil chamber, and the hydraulic oil enters the second return oil chamber only after being filtered by the built-in return oil filter. This facilitates the filtration of the hydraulic oil during return and reduces residue in the hydraulic oil tank.
[0039] This utility model also includes multiple oil suction nozzles, oil return nozzles, and oil suction connectors on the hydraulic oil tank, ensuring the convenience of connecting the oil suction and oil return lines when the hydraulic components of the aerial work platform are located in different positions.

The oil suction chamber is located to the left of the third oil return chamber 3.
[0058] The interior of the oil tank shell 4 is provided with a first partition 7 that separates the first oil return chamber 1 from the second oil return chamber 2, a second partition 8 that separates the third oil return chamber 3 from the first oil return chamber 1 and the second oil return chamber 2, and a third partition 9 that separates the third oil return chamber 3 from the oil suction chamber.

[0067] In this embodiment, the hydraulic oil tank is further provided with a first connector 20, a second connector 21, and a second return oil pipe 22. The first connector 20 is located at the bottom outer side of the first oil suction chamber 5 and is connected to the first oil suction chamber 5. The second connector 21 is located on the outer wall of the second oil return chamber 2 and is connected to the second oil return chamber 2. The oil inlet of the second return oil pipe 22 is located on the outer wall of the third oil return chamber 3, and the pipe body of the second return oil pipe 22 passes through the third oil return chamber 3, connecting the outside of the oil tank shell 4 and the inside of the first oil return chamber 1.
[0068] A first oil suction nozzle 23 is provided at the top of the first oil suction chamber 5, and a second oil suction nozzle 24 is provided at the top of the second oil suction chamber 6, connecting to the second oil suction chamber 6. A third oil suction nozzle 25 is provided on the front side wall of the first oil suction chamber 5, connecting to the first oil suction chamber 5. An oil suction filter is installed on the first oil suction nozzle 23, the second oil suction nozzle 24 and the third oil suction nozzle 25 through a flange.
[0069] Multiple oil suction connectors 26 are also provided on the front side wall of the first oil suction chamber 5, and the oil suction connectors 26 are connected to the first oil suction chamber 5.
[0070] An oil drain cone 27 is provided at the bottom of the third oil return chamber 3, and the oil drain cone 27 is connected to the third oil return chamber 3.
[0071] A level gauge base 28 is provided on the inner left side of the third oil return chamber 3, and a level gauge is installed on the level gauge base 28.
[0072] Multiple mounting parts 29 are provided around the outer perimeter of the oil tank shell 4. The mounting parts 29 are used to install the hydraulic oil tank on the aerial work platform.
[0073] In this embodiment, the first return oil pipe 15 and the second return oil pipe 22 are steel pipes.
[0074] An aerial work platform is provided, wherein the hydraulic oil tank described in this embodiment is installed on the aerial work platform.
[0075] In this embodiment, a hydraulic oil tank is applied to an aerial work platform. Several through holes are provided on the partition inside the outer shell of the hydraulic oil tank. While ensuring the smooth flow of hydraulic oil, the flow rate of hydraulic oil is slowed down, which has the functions of cooling and mitigating impact, and is conducive to the precipitation of air bubbles in the oil.
[0076] In this embodiment, a partition is used to isolate an independent first return oil chamber 1 in the return oil chamber. When hydraulic oil returns, the closed first return oil chamber 1 can effectively reduce the impact of high-pressure return oil on the inside of the oil tank, making the hydraulic oil flow in the oil tank smooth and reducing the generation of air bubbles during return oil. At the same time, reducing the impact of return oil on the inside of the oil tank can avoid agitating the hydraulic oil residue that has settled at the bottom of the oil tank, which is conducive to the discharge of hydraulic oil residue.
[0077] In this embodiment, a first through hole 11 is opened on the first partition 7 between the first return oil chamber 1 and the second return oil chamber 2 to install a built-in return oil filter. The main valve returns oil separately to the first return oil chamber 1, and the hydraulic oil enters the second return oil chamber 2 only after being filtered by the built-in return oil filter, which helps to filter the hydraulic oil return and reduces the residue in the hydraulic oil tank.
[0078] In this embodiment, a baffle with through holes is also provided in the oil suction chamber to divide the oil suction chamber into a first oil suction chamber 5 and a second oil suction chamber 6, which slows down the flow rate of hydraulic oil and is more conducive to the precipitation of air bubbles in the oil tank.
[0079] This embodiment also includes a first return oil pipe 15. The pipe body of the first return oil pipe 15 passes through the first suction chamber 5 and the second suction chamber 6 before connecting to the third return oil chamber 3. Compared to the existing hydraulic oil tank where the return oil pipe is directly connected to the return oil chamber, this simplifies the design of the hydraulic component's return oil pipeline, making the pipeline route simpler and clearer, and making installation and subsequent maintenance more convenient and faster. Simultaneously, since the hydraulic oil temperature in the suction chamber is lower than the return oil temperature, the return oil can dissipate heat as it flows through the suction chamber, thus lowering the temperature of the hydraulic oil returning to the return oil chamber. Furthermore, the extended pipe body of the return oil pipe can effectively mitigate return oil impact and reduce the generation of air bubbles.
[0080] This embodiment also includes multiple suction nozzles, return nozzles, and connectors on the hydraulic oil tank, which ensures convenient connection of the suction and return oil lines when the hydraulic components of the aerial work platform are located in different positions.
[0081] The embodiments of this utility model are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. For those skilled in the art, it will be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
