[0023] The utility model will be further explained in detail in conjunction with the embodiment:

[0024] Embodiment 1

The oil return branch pipe 1 is connected with the oil return main pipe 8 through the horizontal pipe section 1-1 thereof, the oil return direction is from the oil return branch pipe 1 to the oil return main pipe 8, and the monitoring pipe is serially arranged at the bottom of the horizontal pipe section 1-1 of the oil return branch pipe 1. Since the monitoring pipe is vertically arranged, that is, the upper end of the monitoring pipe is connected with the bottom of the horizontal pipe section 1-1 of the oil return branch pipe 1.

[0026] When the oil contains water, the oil in the oil return branch pipe 1 enters the monitoring pipe through the oil inlet of the monitoring pipe from the horizontal pipe section 1-1 thereof to separate oil and water, so that the water is deposited in the area below the monitoring pipe provided with the transparent observation window 2. The staff can regularly observe the water accumulation in the area below the monitoring pipe through the transparent observation window 2, so as to directly judge the water inlet amount of each bearing seat, so as to timely replace the in-machine backup roll when the water inlet amount is too large to affect the use.

[0027] Further, the inner cavity of the horizontal pipe section 1-1 of the oil return branch pipe 1 is provided with a semicircular baffle 9 between the oil inlet of the monitoring pipe and the oil return main pipe 8, that is, the semicircular baffle 9 only blocks the lower inner cavity of the horizontal pipe section 1-1, does not block the upper inner cavity of the horizontal pipe section 1-1, allows a part of the oil transmitted by the oil return branch pipe 1 to pass from the upper side of the semicircular baffle 9, participates in the oil film bearing work through the oil return main pipe 8, and another part of the oil is blocked by the semicircular baffle 9, enters the monitoring pipe through the oil inlet of the monitoring pipe, separates oil and water, and deposits the water in the area below the monitoring pipe provided with the transparent observation window 2. At the same time, the semicircular baffle 9 in the inner cavity of the horizontal pipe section 1-1 is helpful to realize the separation of oil and water.

[0028] Further, the monitoring pipe comprises a vertical pipe 6 directly serially arranged at the bottom of the horizontal pipe section 1-1 of the oil return branch pipe 1, that is, the vertical pipe 6 is directly connected with the bottom wall of the horizontal pipe section 1-1 of the oil return branch pipe 1 through the upper end port thereof, so that the upper end port of the vertical pipe 6 connected with the horizontal pipe section 1-1 is the oil inlet, and the semicircular baffle 9 is located between the oil inlet of the vertical pipe 6 and the oil return main pipe 8.

[0029] When the water in the monitoring tube is less deposited, the oil in the horizontal pipe section 1-1 of the oil return branch pipe 1 only has a small amount of water mixed at the bottom, therefore, the semi-circular baffle 9 can prevent the water-containing oil from directly flowing into the oil return main pipe 8, and the part of the oil in the oil return branch pipe 1 that does not contain water passes through the horizontal pipe section 1-1 from above the semi-circular baffle 9, participates in the oil film bearing work normally through the oil return main pipe 8, and the other part of the oil containing water is blocked by the semi-circular baffle 9, enters the inside of the vertical pipe 6 through the oil inlet of the vertical pipe 6 by gravity, and is separated from water, so that the water is deposited in the lower area of the vertical pipe 6.

Specifically, the spiral guide vane 7 comprises a plurality of continuous spiral metal sheets.

[0035] When the water in the monitoring pipe is less deposited, the oil in the horizontal pipe section 1-1 of the oil return branch pipe 1 only has a small amount of water mixed at the bottom, therefore, the semi-circular baffle 9 can prevent the water-containing oil from directly flowing into the oil return main pipe 8, at this time, part of the oil without water in the oil return branch pipe 1 passes through the semi-circular baffle 9 from above, participates in the oil film bearing work normally through the oil return main pipe 8, and the other part of the water-containing oil is blocked by the semi-circular baffle 9, enters the U-shaped pipe 5 from the oil inlet of the U-shaped pipe 5, then is separated from water, the water is deposited in the lower area of the vertical pipe 6, and the oil not entering the vertical pipe 6 passes through the oil outlet of the U-shaped pipe 5 and participates in the oil film bearing work normally through the oil return main pipe 8. The transparent observation window 2 is arranged on the lower pipe wall of the vertical pipe 6 and vertically extends to the bottom end, and the transparent observation window 2 is provided with scale lines on the outer side wall in the length direction, preferably, the transparent observation window 2 is made of oil-resistant polycarbonate material. The staff can read the water amount in the lower area of the vertical pipe 6 through the scale lines on the transparent observation window 2 to master the water accumulation situation.

[0036] The drain port 3 provided with the valve 4 is arranged at the bottom end port of the vertical pipe 6. When the water is deposited in the monitoring pipe and the oil cannot pass through the U-shaped pipe 5, the oil in the oil return branch pipe 1 passes through the semi-circular baffle 9 from above, participates in the oil film bearing work normally through the oil return main pipe 8, at this time, the staff can control the drain port 3 to release the water in the monitoring pipe in time through the valve 4 to prevent a large amount of water from flowing into the oil tank.

[0037] Compared with example 1, the setting of the U-shaped pipe 5 in example 2 avoids the residence of the separated oil, improves the oil utilization rate, reduces the maintenance requirement, and the spiral guide vane 7 cooperates with the U-shaped pipe 5 to prolong the flow time of the oil-water mixture and can produce centrifugal effect on the oil to improve the water phase sedimentation efficiency.
