Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of fine chemicals, and more particularly to a recovery device. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrial production and manufacturing processes of fine chemicals (especially lubricating greases), after product production is completed and the product is filled through the filling port of the filling line, residual material (liquid or grease) drips out after the valve at the filling port is closed. If the valve is aged or not tightly closed, there are potential safety risks, environmental pollution, and irrecoverable resource waste. There are few tools and equipment available on the market for this purpose. Although some simple tools (such as trays and wiping cloths) can solve similar problems, their effectiveness is not ideal, and safety issues cannot be avoided. Therefore, there is a need to design tools that improve safety and save costs and time. Utility Model Content

[0038] Typical embodiments embodying the features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that this disclosure can have various variations in different embodiments without departing from the scope of this disclosure, and the descriptions and drawings therein are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit this disclosure.
[0039] In the following description of various exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this disclosure, and which illustrate by way of example different exemplary structures, systems, and steps that can implement various aspects of this disclosure. It should be understood that other specific embodiments of the components, structures, exemplary devices, systems, and steps may be used, and structural and functional modifications may be made without departing from the scope of this disclosure. Furthermore, while the terms “above,” “between,” “within,” etc., may be used in this specification to describe different exemplary features and elements of this disclosure, these terms are used herein only for convenience, such as the orientation according to the examples described in the accompanying drawings. Nothing in this specification should be construed as requiring a specific three-dimensional orientation of the structure to fall within the scope of this disclosure.
[0040] See Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a typical structural schematic of the recycling device proposed in this disclosure. In this exemplary embodiment, the recycling device proposed in this disclosure is described using the example of oil dripping from the filling nozzle of a lubricating grease filling line. It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, additions, substitutions, deletions, or other changes may be made to the specific embodiments described below in order to apply the relevant designs of this disclosure to other types of material recycling scenarios, and these changes are still within the scope of the principles of the recycling device proposed in this disclosure.
[0041] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the recycling device includes a container 100, a support 200, a float 300, and a sensor alarm device 420. (See also...) Figures 2 to 6 , Figure 2 The diagram shows a representative structural schematic of the recycling device in another state; Figure 3 The diagram shows a representative structural schematic of the support 200 and the container 100. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of container 100 is shown in the figure. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of the support 200 is shown in the figure. Figure 6 The diagram shown here is a representative enlarged view of the float 300. The structure, connection method, and functional relationship of the main components of the recovery device proposed in this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the above-mentioned figures.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the container 100 is used to hold liquids or greases, such as lubricating grease in this embodiment. The bracket 200 is used to fix the container 100 to the filling port of an industrial production filling pipeline to mount the entire recycling device at the filling port. The bracket 200 supports the container 100 so that the container 100 is located below the filling port, thereby allowing liquids or greases dripping from the filling port to fall into the container 100. The float 300 is disposed in the container 100, meaning that the float 300 can change its height relative to the container 100 (e.g., the top opening of the container 100) as the liquid level in the container 100 changes. Accordingly, when the container 100 holds liquids or greases, the float 300 floats on the liquids or greases, and part of the float 300 is above the liquid surface. The sensing alarm device 420 includes a sensing device and an alarm device 420 coupled to each other. The coupling refers to a functional connection, and the two can be electrically connected via a cable or remotely connected wirelessly. Accordingly, when the sensing device detects that the float 300 rises to a threshold height with the liquid level, the alarm device 420 issues an alarm signal. Through the above structural design, this disclosure can realize the collection and recycling of dripping products after filling on the filling line. At the same time, this disclosure uses the sensing alarm device 420 to realize the automatic alarm function of the recycling device, which makes it convenient for users to handle the situation in time to avoid overflow of liquid or grease in the container 100, reduce safety risks, and facilitate resource recycling.
[0043] Furthermore, the recycling device proposed in this disclosure has the following advantages: The device has a simple structure, is easy to operate and assemble; the main body and accessories are detachable, for example, the container 100 is detachable from the support 200, the container 100 is detachable from the sensing device, and the container 100 is detachable from the alarm device 420, facilitating accessory replacement and saving costs; this disclosure is applicable to the storage of residual materials at the filling port of finished products in the field of fine chemical production, especially in the production of lubricating greases, but not limited to lubricating grease production, and has a wide range of applications; this disclosure can effectively avoid safety risks and environmental pollution, while also preventing resource waste that cannot be recycled, and can be widely used in production sites.
[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the float 300 may include a first part 310 and a second part connected vertically. The first part 310 is located above the liquid surface, and the second part is at least partially submerged below the liquid surface. The first part 310 includes a first sub-part 311 and a second sub-part 312 connected vertically. The first sub-part 311 is located above the second sub-part 312, and the width of the first sub-part 311 is greater than the width of the second sub-part 312. Furthermore, the sensing device may be an optical sensing device, which includes a light emitting unit 411 and a light receiving unit 412. The light emitting unit 411 and the light receiving unit 412 are both disposed at the top opening of the container 100 and arranged opposite to each other. Taking a circular top opening of the container 100 as an example, the light emitting unit 411 and the light receiving unit 412 may be arranged opposite to each other along a diameter of the circle. The light receiving unit 412 may be coupled to an alarm device 420. Additionally, the light emitting unit 411 and the light receiving unit 412 may be powered internally or externally. Accordingly, when the height of the float 300 is below the threshold height, the sensing light emitted by the light emitting unit 411 is blocked by the first sub-part 311 and cannot be received by the light receiving unit 412. When the height of the float 300 reaches the threshold height, at least part of the sensing light emitted by the light emitting unit 411 is not blocked by the second sub-part 312 and is received by the light receiving unit 412. The sensing device thereby identifies that the float 300 has risen to the threshold height.
[0045] Based on the structural design of the float 300 including the first part 310, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the top part of the first part 310 can be rectangular or trapezoidal, and its area size can be sufficient to completely block or cover the sensing light of the light emitting unit 411.

The light emitting unit 411 and the light receiving unit 412 are arranged radially opposite to each other along the container 100.
[0051] Based on the structural design of the sensing device including a light emitting unit 411 and a light receiving unit 412, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the material of the light emitting unit 411 can be plastic or metal, and the material of the light receiving unit 412 can be plastic or metal.
[0052] Based on the design of the sensing device as an optical sensing device, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the optical sensing device can be an infrared sensing device, that is, the sensing light emitted by the light emitting unit 411 is infrared.
[0053] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the container 100 may be made of stainless steel.
[0054] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the surface of the float 300 may be provided with a fluorescent material layer. Through the above structural design, this disclosure enables the float to be more conspicuous and further optimizes the alarm function.

For example, one end of the support 200 (e.g., the upper end shown in the figure) may be used to bind a filling line, while the retaining ring 210 may be disposed at the other end of the support 200 (e.g., the lower end shown in the figure).
[0056] Based on the structural design of the bracket 200 including the fixing ring 210, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the fixing ring 210 can adopt a structure with an adjustable ring diameter, thereby enabling the bracket 200 to fix containers 100 of different sizes and specifications, further expanding the application scope of this disclosure.
[0057] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the structural design of the support 200 including the fixing ring 210, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the top opening of the container 100 can be provided with a flange structure 110, and the container 100 can be placed on the fixing ring 210 of the support 200 via the flange structure 110. Through the above structural design, this disclosure can further facilitate the fixation of the container 100 on the support 200.
[0058] Based on the structural design of the container 100 resting on the fixing ring 210 via the flange structure 110, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the fixing ring 210 may be provided with a retainer, through which the support 200 can fix the container 100. Through the above structural design, this disclosure can use the retainer to prevent the container 100 from shaking or falling, further improving the fixing effect of the container 100 and the fixing ring 210 of the support 200.
[0059] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the support 200 may be made of metal.
[0060] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the alarm device 420 may include a device with a loudspeaker function and may use a built-in button battery as its power source for easy replacement.
