Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil filter core cleaning technology, and in particular to a device for cleaning oil filter cores. Background Technology
[0002] The oil collection tank is a key component of the unit's speed control system, primarily used for the circulation and transfer of turbine oil. To ensure the quality of the oil used in the unit's speed control system, an electrostatic oil filter element is usually installed at the oil collection tank to achieve real-time filtration of the turbine oil. During regular inspection and maintenance of the electrostatic oil filter, the filter element often needs to be replaced depending on the actual situation. However, because the filter element contains a large amount of oil, the old filter element needs to be allowed to stand and drain after replacement to avoid residual oil polluting the environment.
[0003] Currently, the common practice is to let the old oil filter element sit for a day to allow the residual oil inside to drain completely before processing. However, this method has several significant drawbacks, such as being time-consuming. The old filter element relies entirely on gravity to drain, resulting in a very slow draining speed and a lengthy maintenance process. Furthermore, relying solely on gravity drainage cannot completely remove all residual oil from the filter element, leaving some residue. In addition, when replacing filters from multiple machines simultaneously, a large space is required to house these filters, which is often not available on-site, increasing the complexity and difficulty of the operation.
[0004] These shortcomings all affect maintenance efficiency, so there is an urgent need for a more efficient filter cartridge treatment method to improve the deficiencies of existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a device for cleaning oil filter elements. To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An apparatus for cleaning an oil filter element includes: a receiving portion for holding the oil filter element, and a driving portion connected to the receiving portion for driving the receiving portion to rotate along the axis of the oil filter element.
[0007] The receiving part is also provided with a clamping mechanism, which is configured to allow the oil filter element to be fixed relatively on the receiving part.
[0008] Furthermore, several through holes are provided on the receiving part in a direction parallel to the axis of the oil filter core, and the through holes are used to form channels for the movement of oil.
[0009] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a biting part, at least two of which are provided and located on both sides of the receiving part, to jointly form a cavity for accommodating the oil filter core in the radial direction.
[0010] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism also includes a connecting part for rotatably connecting the biting part and the receiving part together, and allowing the biting part to continuously apply force to the cavity at a preset radial distance.
[0011] Furthermore, the engagement portion is disposed at an angle on the receiving portion to allow the radial distance of the cavity formed by the receiving portion to gradually decrease from bottom to top.
[0012] Furthermore, the drive unit includes an electric motor and a reducer disposed at the force output end of the electric motor, and the receiving part is disposed at the force output end of the reducer to allow the reducer to drive the receiving part to move.
[0013] Furthermore, the drive unit also includes a speed regulator configured to be connected to the reducer for adjusting the rotational speed at the force output end of the reducer.
[0014] Furthermore, the drive unit also includes a protective cover, which is circumferentially sealed onto the reducer.
[0015] Furthermore, the device for cleaning the oil filter element also includes an oil collection tank, which is sealed and sleeved on the outside of the receiving part to form a cavity in the axial direction to accommodate the oil filter element, thereby collecting the oil on the oil filter element.
[0016] Furthermore, an oil delivery pipe is provided at the bottom of the oil collection tank. The oil delivery pipe is configured to communicate with the cavity, so that the oil inside the cavity can move to the outside along the oil delivery pipe.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] This invention includes a receiving portion for holding the oil filter element and a driving portion connected to the receiving portion for driving the receiving portion to rotate along the axis of the oil filter element. This allows the driving portion to move the receiving portion, which in turn moves the oil filter element located on the receiving portion, thereby achieving the cleaning of the oil filter element. Simultaneously, a clamping mechanism is provided on the receiving portion, configured to allow the oil filter element to be relatively fixed on the receiving portion. In this way, the device can stably move the oil filter element, thus continuously cleaning it. This improves the efficiency of cleaning the oil filter element. This design solves the technical problem of low efficiency in cleaning oil filter elements in existing technologies. Attached Figure Description
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0021] In the above-mentioned attached figures: receiving part 1, driving part 2, electric motor 21, reducer 22, speed regulator 23, protective cover 24, clamping mechanism 3, biting part 31, cavity 32, connecting part 33, oil collection tank 4, cavity 41, oil delivery pipe 42, valve 43, mounting box 5, traveling wheel 51, sealing cover 52, observation window 521, start button 53. Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following detailed description of the device for cleaning the oil filter core is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0024] For convenience, the direction extending along the oil filter element will be referred to as "axial" or similar term; the direction of movement along the "axial" direction towards the receiving part will be referred to as "axial downward" or similar term; the direction of movement along the "axial" direction away from the receiving part will be referred to as "axial upward" or similar term; the direction perpendicular to the "axial" direction will be referred to as "radial" or similar term; the direction of movement along the "radial" direction towards the oil filter element will be referred to as "radial inward" or similar term; and the direction of movement along the "radial" direction away from the oil filter element will be referred to as "radial outward" or similar term.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a device for cleaning an oil filter core, including a receiving part 1 for placing the oil filter core (not shown in the figure), and a driving part 2 connected to the receiving part 1 for driving the receiving part 1 to rotate along the axis of the oil filter core.
[0026] In this way, the oil filter element (not shown in the figure) can be placed on the receiving part 1. Simultaneously, the driving part 2, connected to the receiving part 1, can drive the receiving part 1 to rotate along the axis of the oil filter element. During this process, the oil on the oil filter element will be continuously subjected to centrifugal force, thereby causing the oil on the oil filter element to move radially outward. Furthermore, the radially outward-moving oil will also be continuously moved downward onto the receiving part 1 under the action of gravity. Thus, the cleaning of the oil filter element is achieved. This solves the technical problem of low efficiency in cleaning oil filter elements in the prior art.
[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, a clamping mechanism 3 is also provided on the receiving part 1. The clamping mechanism 3 is configured to allow the oil filter element to be relatively fixed on the receiving part 1. This arrangement allows the oil filter element to be stably mounted on the receiving part 1, thereby preventing the oil filter element from disengaging from the receiving part 1 when the driving part 2 moves it. This allows the oil on the oil filter element to move stably radially outward and axially downward.
[0028] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the receiving portion 1 is also provided with several through holes (not shown in the figure), which are arranged parallel to the axis of the oil filter element (not shown in the figure). In this way, the oil on the receiving portion 1 can move axially downward along the through holes. With this arrangement, oil accumulation on the receiving plate 1 can be avoided, thus preventing contamination of the oil filter element.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a biting portion 31. In this embodiment, at least two biting portions 31 are provided, and the two biting portions 31 are located on opposite sides of the receiving portion 1 in a corresponding manner. In this way, the two biting portions 31 can together form a cavity 32 for accommodating the oil filter element in the radial direction. Thus, the oil filter element can be disposed within the cavity 32 and limited by the biting portions 31, thereby ensuring that the oil filter element is stably disposed on the receiving portion 1.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the clamping mechanism 3 further includes a connecting portion 33, which is used to rotatably connect the engaging portion 31 and the receiving portion 1. In this way, the radial distance formed between the two engaging portions 31 can be adjusted by rotating the engaging portion 31.
[0031] In this configuration, the radial width of the cavity 32 formed by the engagement part 31 can be adjusted according to the different radial widths of the oil filter element. This allows the engagement part 31 to limit the movement of oil filter elements with different radial dimensions. This method improves the applicability of the device.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the engaging portion 31 is configured to continuously apply force to the cavity 32 at a predetermined radial distance. Specifically, a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is fitted onto the connecting portion 33, such that both ends of the torsion spring abut against the engaging portion 31 and the receiving portion 1, respectively.
[0033] In this way, the engaging portion 31 can compress the torsion spring, causing it to elastically deform. Simultaneously, as the torsion spring recovers its elastic deformation, it continues to transmit force to the engaging portion 31. Therefore, the engaging portion 31 can continuously apply force to the cavity 32 within the force range of the torsion spring.
[0034] In this configuration, when the oil filter element is placed within the cavity 32 and abuts against the engaging portion 31, the engaging portion 31 will continuously apply force to the oil filter element. This allows the oil filter element to be more stably positioned on the receiving portion 1.
[0035] In this way, when it is necessary to increase the radial width of the cavity 32 formed by the biting part 31 to accommodate the oil filter element, a radially outward force is applied to the biting part 31, causing the biting part 31 to rotate around the connecting part 33, and in the process, the torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is compressed, causing the torsion spring to undergo elastic deformation until the radial width of the cavity 32 formed by the biting part 31 can accommodate the oil filter element.
[0036] At this time, maintain the applied force on the engagement part 31 and place the oil filter element inside the cavity 32. Simultaneously, release the applied force on the engagement part 31.
[0037] During this process, the torsion spring will recover its elastic deformation, thereby driving the engagement part 31 to move radially inward around the connecting part 33 until the engagement part 31 abuts against the oil filter element located in the cavity 32. Furthermore, as the torsion spring continues to recover its elastic deformation, the engagement part 31 can continuously apply force to the oil filter element located in the cavity 32. This allows the oil filter element to be stably mounted on the receiving part 1.
[0038] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the engagement portion 31 is disposed on the receiving portion 1 at an angle. Specifically, the surface of the engagement portion 31 that abuts against the torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is configured to be inclined from bottom to top.
[0039] At the same time, such as Figure 1 As shown, the surfaces where the receiving portion 1 and the engaging portion 31 abut against each other radially inward are also configured to slope upwards. In this way, the engaging portion 31 can be provided on the receiving portion 1 in a downward-sloping manner.
[0040] This causes the radial distance of the cavity 32 formed by the engagement portion 31 to gradually decrease from bottom to top. In this way, the device can accommodate oil filter elements with different radial widths. This improves the applicability of the device.
[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive unit 2 includes a motor 21 and a reducer 22 disposed at the force output end of the motor 21. In this way, the force output by the motor 21 can be transmitted to the reducer 22, and the torque of the force is increased after being reduced by the reducer 22.
[0042] At the same time, such as Figure 1 As shown, the receiving part 1 is located at the force output end of the reducer 22. In this way, the force output by the motor 21, after being amplified by the reducer 22, can be transmitted to the receiving part 1, thereby driving the receiving part 1 to move. As a result, the oil filter element located on the receiving part 1 can be actuated together with the receiving part 1, thereby realizing the cleaning work of the oil filter element.
[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive unit 2 also includes a speed regulator 23. In this embodiment, the speed regulator 23 is configured to be connected to the reducer 22. In this way, the speed regulator 23 can adjust the rotational speed of the reducer 22. This allows for adjustment of the torque exerted by the reducer 22. With this configuration, the torque required to drive the oil filter element can be specifically adjusted according to its own weight, thus expanding the applicability of this device.
[0044] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive unit 2 also includes a protective cover 24, which is circumferentially sealed onto the reducer 22. In this way, the protective cover 24 protects the reducer 22, thereby preventing contamination of the reducer 22 and ensuring proper cleaning of the oil filter element.
[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device for cleaning the oil filter element also includes an oil collection tank 4, which is sealed and fitted onto the outside of the receiving part 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the oil collection tank 4 is arranged around the protective cover 24 and is sealed and connected to the protective cover 24.
[0046] At the same time, such as Figure 1As shown, the oil collection tank 4 extends axially upwards. In this way, the oil collection tank 4 can form a cavity 41 in the axial direction to accommodate the oil filter element. Thus, the oil collection tank 4 can collect the oil on the oil filter element.
[0047] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, an oil pipeline 42 is also provided at the bottom of the oil collection tank 4. The oil pipeline 42 is configured to communicate with the cavity 41 so that the oil in the cavity 41 can move to the outside along the oil pipeline 42.
[0048] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, a valve 43 is also provided on the oil pipeline 42, and the valve 43 is configured to selectively open the oil pipeline. Thus, the oil located in the cavity 41 can be selectively discharged to the outside.
[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device for cleaning the oil filter element also includes a mounting box 5, which is configured to accommodate the oil collection tank 4 and the motor 21 located below the oil collection tank 4. Simultaneously, the oil collection tank 4 is sealed to the mounting box 5. This prevents oil in the oil collection tank 4 from moving into the mounting box 5.
[0050] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the oil pipe 42 located on the oil collection tank 4 is also configured to pass through the oil collection tank 4 and be located outside the mounting box 5, so that the valve 43 located on the oil pipe 42 is also located outside the mounting box 5. In this way, the mounting box 5 can accommodate the oil collection tank 4 and the motor 21 together. This facilitates the transportation of this device.
[0051] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting box 5 is also provided with a traveling wheel 51 to reduce friction when moving the device, thereby facilitating the movement of the device.
[0052] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a sealing cover 52 is also provided on the installation box 5. The sealing cover 52 is used to form a sealed space inside the installation box 5, thereby preventing oil from splashing to the outside during the cleaning of the oil filter element.
[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, an observation window 521 is also provided on the sealing cover 52, which is configured to allow observation of the interior of the mounting box 5 from the outside. This allows observation of the oil filter element during the cleaning process, thereby improving the convenience of the device.
[0054] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a start button 53 is also provided on the mounting box 5. The start button 53 is configured to be connected to the motor 21 in a wired or wireless manner, and is used to start the device in a selectable manner.
[0055] The operation of the device for cleaning the oil filter core according to this utility model is as follows.
[0056] When the oil filter element needs cleaning, first apply force to the device so that the force can be transmitted to the traveling wheels 51, thereby moving the device to the required position. At the same time, open the sealing cover 52.
[0057] Next, a radially outward force is applied to the engagement portion 31, causing it to rotate around the connecting portion 33. During this process, a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is compressed, causing the torsion spring to elastically deform until the radial width of the cavity 32 formed by the engagement portion 31 can accommodate the oil filter element. At this point, the force applied to the engagement portion 31 is maintained, and the oil filter element is placed inside the cavity 32. Simultaneously, the force applied to the engagement portion 31 is released.
[0058] During this process, the torsion spring will recover its elastic deformation, thereby driving the engagement part 31 to move radially inward around the connecting part 33 until the engagement part 31 abuts against the oil filter element located in the cavity 32. Furthermore, as the torsion spring continues to recover its elastic deformation, the engagement part 31 can continuously apply force to the oil filter element located in the cavity 32. This allows the oil filter element to be stably mounted on the receiving part 1.
[0059] Then, close the sealing cover 52 and turn on the start button 52. At this time, the motor 21 will start running and continuously transmit force to the reducer 22. During this process, the reducer 22 will drive the receiving part 1 connected to the reducer 22 to move. During this process, the oil on the oil filter element will be continuously subjected to centrifugal force, thereby causing the oil on the oil filter element to move into the oil collection tank 4.
[0060] In this configuration, the cleaning status of the oil filter element inside the mounting box 5 can be continuously observed through the observation window 521 on the sealing cover 52. Once cleaning is complete, the start button 52 is turned off, and the sealing cover 52 is opened to remove the oil filter element. This completes the cleaning of the oil filter element. This method solves the technical problem of low efficiency in cleaning oil filter elements in existing technologies.
[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
