[0016] (III) Advantages
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the offshore oil spill recovery device has the following
[0018] Advantages:
[0019] 1. By setting the sealing mechanism on the recovery tank, the cooperation of components such as connecting sleeve, reverse flow sleeve, sealing sleeve, etc. can realize the sealing effect without pre-injection of seawater. When the extraction pump is started to generate negative pressure, the sealing sleeve slides along the polygon center rod under the action of the push spring, forming a flow channel with the reverse flow groove and the flow groove, realizing the automatic entry of the oil spill. At the same time, the setting of the tension spring ensures that the sealing sleeve can be returned in time to form a reliable sealing state.

[0020] 2. The quick connection structure composed of clamping sleeve, connecting spring, clamping block, etc. replaces the traditional threaded or flange connection method. By rotating the unlocking sleeve to drive the unlocking block to slide in the unlocking groove, the clamping state of the clamping block and the clamping groove is controlled, realizing the quick connection and separation of the connecting pipe and the clamping sleeve. Cooperating with the setting of the corrugated pipe and the sealing ring, not only the sealing of the connection is ensured, but also good flexible connection effect is provided. This design greatly simplifies the connection operation, improves the offshore operation efficiency, and effectively prevents oil leakage.
[0021] 3. By cooperating components such as limiting sleeve, limiting rod, compression spring, etc., in normal working state, a plurality of limiting rods are inserted into the limiting hole on the unlocking sleeve under the action of the compression spring, reliably limiting the rotation of the unlocking sleeve and preventing accidental unlocking. When disassembly is needed, the limiting rod can be separated from the limiting hole by pushing the limiting sleeve upward, and the limiting state is released. This design not only ensures the reliability of the connection state, but also ensures the simplicity of the operation, providing protection for the safe and stable operation of the entire device.

[0032] The unlocking block 12 is slidingly installed in the unlocking groove 14, and the unlocking block 12 controls the card block 11 through sliding movement in the unlocking groove 14. When the unlocking sleeve 13 rotates, the inclined surface of the unlocking groove 14 guides the radial displacement of the unlocking block 12.
[0033] A center rod 17 is installed between the counterflow sleeve 3 and the throughflow sleeve 7, the center rod 17 is slidingly connected with the sealing sleeve 5, the center rod 17 serves as a guide device of the sealing sleeve 5, and ensures that the movement track of the sealing sleeve 5 between the counterflow sleeve 3 and the throughflow sleeve 7 is stable.
[0034] The center rod 17 is provided in a polygonal shape, and the center rod 17 is designed in a polygonal cross section, thereby forming an anti-rotation structure with the sealing sleeve 5.
[0035] A tension spring 18 is connected between the sealing sleeve 5 and the throughflow sleeve 7, and provides a return force after the sealing sleeve 5 moves.
[0036] The connecting pipe 15 is provided with a bellows 19, the bellows 19 is connected with an external extraction pump, and the bellows 19 serves as a flexible connecting component between the connecting pipe 15 and the extraction pump, and can absorb pipeline vibration and displacement.
[0037] A sealing ring 20 is arranged between the connecting pipe 15 and the clamping sleeve 9, and the sealing ring 20 is installed between the contact surfaces of the connecting pipe 15 and the clamping sleeve 9, thereby forming a sealing interface.
[0038] In this embodiment, the bellows 19 is connected with the external extraction pump, then the recovery tank 1 is placed at the oil spill site, and the extraction pump is started to first extract the air in the recovery tank 1. After starting, negative pressure is generated by the extraction pump, thereby pulling the sealing sleeve 5 and compressing the push spring 6. The sealing sleeve 5 slides inward along the center rod 17 and passes through the counterflow groove 4, so that the throughflow groove 8 and the counterflow groove 4 form a flow channel, and the oil spill outside is extracted into the recovery tank 1 as the pressure in the recovery tank 1 decreases. When it is necessary to disassemble the connecting pipe 15 and the clamping sleeve 9, the limiting mechanism is released from limiting the unlocking sleeve 13, the rotating sleeve is rotated, the inclined surface provided on the unlocking groove 14 drives the unlocking block 12 to slide along the unlocking groove 14, thereby pulling the unlocking block 12 to move outward, and simultaneously pulling the card block 11 to disengage from the clamping groove 16, thereby releasing the clamping of the connecting pipe 15. Then, the disassembly of the clamping sleeve 9 and the connecting pipe 15 can be completed. When it is necessary to assemble, the connecting pipe 15 and the clamping sleeve 9 are inserted, and when the clamping groove 16 moves to the inside of the card block 11, the unlocking sleeve 13 is reversely rotated, so that the unlocking block 12 reversely moves along the unlocking groove 14, thereby pushing the card block 11 to be clamped in the clamping groove 16 through the unlocking block 12, and finally the limiting mechanism limits the unlocking sleeve 13, thereby completing the clamping.
[0039] Please refer to Figures 4-5As one implementation of the limiting mechanism: the limiting mechanism includes a limiting sleeve 21, a limiting rod 22, a limiting hole 23 and a compression spring 24. The limiting sleeve 21 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the snap-fit sleeve 9. Multiple sets of limiting rods 22 are installed on the bottom surface of the limiting sleeve 21. Multiple sets of limiting holes 23 are distributed on the unlocking sleeve 13. Multiple sets of compression springs 24 are provided and their two ends are respectively connected to the limiting sleeve 21 and the snap-fit sleeve 9.
[0040] More specifically, the limiting sleeve 21 is pushed to slide along the snap-fit sleeve 9 by the compression spring 24. The limiting sleeve 21 pushes multiple sets of limiting rods 22 to insert into the limiting holes 23 provided on the unlocking sleeve 13, thereby restricting the rotation of the unlocking sleeve 13 and preventing it from rotating. When it is necessary to release the limit, the limiting sleeve 21 is pushed upward and the compression spring 24 is squeezed. The limiting sleeve 21 drives the multiple sets of limiting rods 22 to disengage from the limiting holes 23, thereby releasing the limit on the unlocking sleeve 13.
[0041] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: connect the bellows 19 to the external extraction pump, then place the recovery tank 1 at the oil spill location. Upon startup, the extraction pump first extracts the air from the recovery tank 1. After startup, the extraction pump generates negative pressure, which pulls the sealing sleeve 5 and compresses the push spring 6. The sealing sleeve 5 slides inward along the central rod 17 through the counterflow groove 4, creating a flow channel between the flow groove 8 and the counterflow groove 4. As the pressure inside the recovery tank 1 decreases, the spilled oil is extracted into the recovery tank 1. When it is necessary to separate the connecting pipe 15 from the snap-fit sleeve 9, release the limiting mechanism from the unlocking sleeve 13, and rotate the rotating sleeve... The inclined surface on the unlocking groove 14 drives the unlocking block 12 to slide along the unlocking groove 14, thereby pulling the unlocking block 12 outward and simultaneously pulling the locking block 11 away from the locking groove 16, releasing the locking of the connecting pipe 15. Then the locking sleeve 9 and the connecting pipe 15 can be separated. When installation is required, the connecting pipe 15 and the locking sleeve 9 are inserted. When the locking groove 16 moves to the inside of the locking block 11, the unlocking sleeve 13 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the unlocking block 12 to move in the opposite direction along the unlocking groove 14. Thus, the unlocking block 12 pushes the locking block 11 to engage in the locking groove 16. Finally, the locking sleeve 13 is restricted by the limiting mechanism to complete the locking.
[0042] The limiting sleeve 21 is pushed to slide along the snap sleeve 9 by the compression spring 24. The limiting sleeve 21 pushes multiple sets of limiting rods 22 to be inserted into the limiting holes 23 provided on the unlocking sleeve 13, thereby restricting the rotation of the unlocking sleeve 13 and preventing it from rotating. When it is necessary to release the limit, the limiting sleeve 21 is pushed upward and the compression spring 24 is squeezed. The limiting sleeve 21 drives the multiple sets of limiting rods 22 to disengage from the limiting holes 23, thereby releasing the limit on the unlocking sleeve 13.
[0043] In all the above-mentioned solutions, the connection between the two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection or other known connection mode, which will not be described here. In the above, whenever there is a fixed connection, welding is preferred. Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, those skilled in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the utility model, and the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
