The installation frame 11 is provided with a plurality of clearance holes 15 at the top, and the number and size of the clearance holes 15 can be flexibly adjusted. These holes can be used for threading, pipe threading or installing other components, and have strong adaptability.

[0049] The vacuum flash tank 1 is also connected with an oil inlet pipe 4, an oil outlet pipe 5, an exhaust unit 3, a vacuum pump 2, an oil inlet valve 41, an oil discharge pump 51, an oil discharge pipe 52, a circulation pipe 6 and a circulation valve 61 to jointly complete the circulation and water removal of the lubricating oil.

[0050] The vacuum pump 2 is fixed at the bottom of the installation frame 11 to maintain the negative pressure state inside the vacuum flash tank 1.

[0051] The exhaust unit 3 is connected with the vacuum flash tank 1 through an exhaust pipe 31, and the exhaust pipe 31 is connected with an exhaust valve 32. In this embodiment, the exhaust valve 32 is a manual ball valve, which is manually controlled. The handle has a scale mark for accurate control of the opening degree. The exhaust valve 32 is simple and reliable to operate, and can be manually opened or closed even in the case of power failure.

[0052] The oil inlet pipe 4 is connected at the bottom of the vacuum flash tank 1, and the oil inlet pipe 4 is connected with the oil inlet valve 41. During operation, the vacuum pump 2 is used to maintain the negative pressure state inside the vacuum flash tank 1, and then the oil inlet valve 41 is opened. Due to the negative pressure state of the vacuum flash tank 1, the lubricating liquid to be purified is sucked into the vacuum flash tank 1.

[0053] The oil outlet pipe 5 is also connected at the bottom of the vacuum flash tank 1, and the oil outlet pipe 5 is connected with the oil discharge pipe 52 through the oil discharge pump 51. The oil discharge pipe 52 is bent from the inside of the installation frame 11 and arranged upward, and finally connected with the circulation pipe 6 at the top of the installation frame 11. The circulation pipe 6 is connected with the circulation valve 61, and the end of the circulation pipe 6 away from the connection with the oil discharge pipe 52 extends into the vacuum flash tank 1 and is provided with a nozzle. The nozzle can be a spiral nozzle or a flat nozzle. The former is suitable for occasions where uniform dispersion of liquid is required, and the latter is suitable for scenes where concentrated injection is required.

[0054] The oil outlet pipe 5 is a steel pipe with moderate diameter, and the surface is treated for corrosion prevention. In addition, the oil discharge pipe 52 is connected with a filtering unit 53 at the top of the installation frame 11, which is used to further remove solid particles and other impurities in the lubricating oil. The filtering unit 53 includes a primary filter and a fine filter inside. The primary filter uses a filter core with a coarse pore size, which can effectively intercept large impurities; the fine filter uses a microporous filter membrane, which can remove finer contaminants. The shell of the primary filter is made of carbon steel, and the inner and outer surfaces are treated for corrosion prevention. The filter core is made of polypropylene melt-blown fiber, which has strong adsorption capacity and can be repeatedly washed. The shell of the fine filter is made of 316L stainless steel, which has excellent corrosion resistance and temperature resistance. The filter membrane is made of PTFE material with a pore size of 0.2 μm, which can effectively remove sub-micron particles.

[0055] The oil discharge pump 51 is controlled by frequency conversion, which can adjust the speed according to the actual flow demand. The inlet and outlet of the oil discharge pump 51 are provided with check valves to prevent backflow. The shell of the oil discharge pump 51 is made of cast iron, which is wear-resistant and durable. The oil discharge pump 51 is connected with an oil discharge circuit breaker, which is an overload protection device installed in the circuit of the oil discharge pump 51. When the working current of the oil discharge pump 51 exceeds the rated value, the oil discharge circuit breaker will immediately cut off the power supply to prevent the motor from burning out. The oil discharge circuit breaker uses electromagnetic tripping mechanism, which has fast response speed and high reliability. The shell of the oil discharge circuit breaker is made of flame-retardant ABS plastic, and the internal circuit layout is reasonable with good heat dissipation. The panel is provided with an indicator light to display the current working state (such as normal operation, fault alarm, etc.).

[0056] The oil discharge pipe 52 connects the oil discharge pump 51 and the circulating pipe 6, which is also made of PVC material with high temperature and pressure resistance. The oil discharge pipe 52 can be equipped with a pressure gauge to monitor the pressure in the pipe in real time. The circulating pipe 6 is connected with the oil discharge pipe 52 through a tee joint, which ensures high pressure-bearing capacity and long service life. The length and diameter of the circulating pipe 6 are selected according to the actual working condition to minimize the resistance in the circulating process. The circulating valve 61 is installed on the circulating pipe 6, which is an electric butterfly valve and can be operated by the remote control system. The opening of the circulating valve 61 can be freely adjusted within the range of 0% to 100%, which is convenient for accurate control of the circulation amount.

[0057] In the working process, the vacuum pump 2 is used to maintain the negative pressure state in the vacuum flash tank 1, and then the oil inlet valve 41 is opened. Due to the negative pressure state of the vacuum flash tank 1, the lubricating liquid to be purified is sucked into the vacuum flash tank 1. When the lubricating liquid in the bottom of the vacuum flash tank 1 reaches the set liquid level, the oil inlet valve 41 is closed, and the oil discharge pump 51 and the circulating valve 61 are opened. At this time, the lubricating liquid in the bottom of the vacuum flash tank 1 is pumped by the oil discharge pump 51 into the oil discharge pipe 52. When the lubricating oil flows through the connection between the oil discharge pipe and the circulating pipe 6, the circulating valve 61 is opened and the vacuum flash tank 1 is still in a negative pressure state, so that the discharged lubricating liquid flows into the circulating pipe 6 from the oil discharge pipe 52, and finally reflows into the oil inlet pipe 4 and is sprayed into the vacuum flash tank 1 through the nozzle, realizing water removal.

[0058] When the circulating valve 61 is in the open state, the oil discharge pump 51 continuously pumps the lubricating oil in the bottom of the vacuum flash tank 1 back to the oil discharge pipe 52, the circulating pipe 6 and finally back to the top of the vacuum flash tank 1 for re-water removal, realizing automatic circulation.

[0059] When the circulation time is set, the circulating pipe 6 valve is closed. When the lubricating oil flows through the connection between the oil discharge pipe and the circulating pipe 6, the circulating valve 61 is closed, so the lubricating liquid can be discharged from the end of the oil discharge pipe 52.

[0060] Then the oil inlet valve 41 is opened again to suck the subsequent lubricating liquid to be purified into the vacuum flash tank 1, and the circulating pipe 6 is opened for subsequent water removal and purification of the lubricating liquid.

[0061] This design not only improves the water removal efficiency, but also reduces the investment cost and floor area of the equipment, and is very suitable for large-scale industrial applications.

[0062] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, which do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
