Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floating oil recovery devices. More specifically, this utility model relates to an adjustable floating oil recovery device. Background Technology

[0002] Oil-water storage tank oil recovery devices can generally be divided into two types: floating oil recovery and fixed oil recovery trough. Floating oil recovery devices rely on floats to keep the device afloat above or between the oil and water interfaces, allowing for real-time oil recovery based on liquid level conditions. Fixed oil recovery trough devices require maintaining a consistent liquid level in the oil-water storage tank; once the oil and water thicknesses reach equilibrium, the oil layer can enter the recovery trough. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. In practical applications, it has been found that when the oil-water interface inside the storage tank is difficult or impossible to distinguish, floating oil recovery devices may become stuck or fail to float, significantly reducing their oil recovery effectiveness or rendering them unable to recover oil. Utility Model Content

[0003] To achieve these objectives and other advantages according to the present invention, the present invention provides an adjustable floating oil recovery device, including a height control device, an oil recovery device, an oil recovery pipe, and a fixing rod.

[0004] The fixed rod is installed inside the oil tank, and the oil collection device is installed on the fixed rod. The oil collection device is also connected to the height control device. As the height control device moves up and down, the oil collection device also moves up and down. The bottom of the oil collection device is connected to the outside through an oil collection pipe.

[0005] In another technical solution, the height control device includes a gear reducer, a chain, and sprockets. The gear reducer is located at the top of the oil tank, the chain is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the gear reducer, and two sprockets are respectively sleeved on both ends of the chain. One sprocket is located at the top of the oil tank, and the other sprocket is located inside the oil tank and at the bottom of the oil tank. The oil collection device is connected to the chain.

[0006] Another technical solution also includes a reed switch height display device, whose measuring rod is installed inside the fixed rod for measuring the height of the oil recovery device. The reed switch height display device includes a circumferential magnet, which is movably sleeved on the fixed rod.

[0007] In another technical solution, the oil collection device includes a float, an oil collection bowl, and a support. Multiple supports are arranged circumferentially on the circumferential magnet at one end and are inclined upwards. An oil collection bowl is horizontally installed at the other end of the support. The bottom of the oil collection bowl is connected to the inner cavity of the support and is connected to the oil collection pipe.

[0008] In another technical solution, the oil collection device further includes a diagonal brace, which is inclined and connected at one end to the circumferential magnet and at the other end to the bracket. The float is placed at the bend where the bracket and the diagonal brace meet.

[0009] In another technical solution, a pontoon is fixedly installed on the bracket.

[0010] In another technical solution, the oil receiving pipe is a flexible hose.

[0011] This invention offers at least the following advantages: By incorporating a height control device, it prevents the floating oil recovery device from becoming stuck due to medium mixing in the oil-water storage tank. The invention also features a reed switch height display device that shows the real-time height of the oil recovery device, allowing for flexible adjustment of the recovery height according to site requirements. Furthermore, the invention includes a fixing rod, preventing conventional floating oil recovery devices from shifting laterally within the storage tank due to liquid level fluctuations, thus avoiding the risk of pipeline breakage or damage.

[0012] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be partly apparent from the following description, and partly understood by those skilled in the art through study and practice of this invention. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the oil collection device in this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.

[0016] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious modifications will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0017] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this utility model, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0018] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an adjustable floating oil recovery device, including a height control device, an oil recovery device 200, an oil recovery pipe 300, and a fixing rod 400;

[0020] The fixed rod 400 is installed inside the oil tank 1, and the oil collection device 200 is installed on the fixed rod 400. The oil collection device 200 is also connected to the height control device. As the height control device moves up and down, the oil collection device 200 also moves up and down. The bottom of the oil collection device is connected to the outside through the oil collection pipe 300.

[0021] In the above technical solution, the fixing rod 400 is used to fix the oil collection device 200, so that the oil collection device 200 can move up and down in a fixed position inside the storage tank. Oil and water can enter the oil collection hose 300 through the oil collection device 200, thereby realizing oil and water collection. The oil collection is equipped with a height control device. By using the height control device to adjust the different heights of the oil collection device 200, the floating oil collection device 200 can be prevented from getting stuck due to the mixing of media in the oil and water storage tank.

[0022] The installation of a fixed rod 400 avoids the risk of the conventional floating oil recovery device 200 moving laterally inside the storage tank due to liquid level fluctuations, which could lead to pipeline breakage or damage.

[0023] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the height control device 100 includes a gear reducer 101, a chain 102, and sprockets 103. The gear reducer 101 is disposed on the top of the oil tank. The chain is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the gear reducer 101. Two sprockets 103 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the chain 102. One sprocket 103 is located at the top of the oil tank, and the other sprocket 103 is located inside the oil tank and at the bottom of the oil tank. The oil collection device 200 is connected to the chain 102.

[0024] In the above technical solution, if the medium interface inside the storage tank is unclear, making oil recovery impossible or requiring manual adjustment of the oil recovery device 200 height, the chain 102 is moved up and down by cranking the hand-cranked gear reducer 101, thereby moving the oil recovery device 200 up and down. The gear reducer 101 can be a hand-cranked gear reducer or an automatic gear reducer. The rotation of the gear reducer 101 drives the chain 102 up and down, thereby moving the oil recovery device 200 up and down. Once the desired height is reached, the gear reducer is locked, thus achieving height adjustment of the oil recovery device.

[0025] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a reed switch height display device 500, whose measuring rod is installed inside the fixed rod 400 for measuring the height of the oil collection device. The reed switch height display device 500 also has a display screen installed on the top of the oil tank for displaying the height of the oil collection device. The reed switch height display device includes a circumferential magnet, which is movably sleeved on the fixed rod.

[0026] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the oil collection device 200 includes a float 201, an oil collection bowl 202, a bracket 203, and a circumferential magnet 204. The circumferential magnet 204 is movably sleeved on the fixed rod 400. One end of multiple brackets 203 is circumferentially arranged on the circumferential magnet 204, and the brackets 203 are inclined upward. The other end of the brackets 203 is horizontally mounted with an oil collection bowl 202. The bottom of the oil collection bowl 202 is connected to the inner cavity of the bracket 203 and is connected to the oil collection pipe 300. The float 201 is fixedly mounted on the bracket.

[0027] In the above technical solution, under normal circumstances, the oil recovery device 200 can float on the oil-water interface by relying on the buoyancy of the float 201, realizing automatic oil recovery. The oil and water enter through the oil recovery bowl 202, then pass through the internal hollow space of the support 203, and finally are discharged to the outside through the oil recovery pipe 300. When the situation is abnormal, the height of the oil recovery device is controlled by a height control device.

[0028] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the oil collection device 200 further includes a diagonal brace 205, which is inclined and connected at one end to the circumferential magnet 204 and at the other end to the bracket 203. The float 201 is placed at the bend where the bracket 203 and the diagonal brace 205 are connected.

[0029] In the above technical solution, the diagonal brace 205 is used to reinforce the entire oil recovery device.

[0030] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the oil collection pipe is a flexible hose that can be deformed and bent as needed.

[0031] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made.
