DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 indicated, the utility model provides an oil mist absorption device in oil groove, including the oil groove 7 and sealing cover 2 of sleeve connection on rotation shaft 1, the oil groove 7 has stored oil liquid, and sealing cover 2 is connected with the oil groove 7 through end face bolt 6 and forms sealing, wherein:

[0025] Sealing cover 2 is arranged with follow-up sealing tooth 22 near the position of rotation shaft 1, and follow-up sealing tooth 22 and the spring 23 that it pushes are installed in the T-shaped groove of upper sealing plate 21, and upper sealing plate 21 is fixed on sealing cover 2;Follow-up sealing tooth 22 can keep the sealing between sealing cover 2 and rotation shaft 1 in the rotation process of rotation shaft 1 (rotation shaft 1 occurs radial bounce) by virtue of the elasticity of spring 23;

[0026] Separation chamber 14 is arranged in the non-oil liquid space below sealing cover 2, and separation chamber 14 is metal material, is fixed to sealing cover 2 through connecting plate 24, and is filled with filter core 15 (for example, sponge) in the inside of separation chamber 14;The left side, the right side, the downside of separation chamber 14 are respectively provided with oil mist inlet 17, and the downside is inclined and is arranged with oil outlet 16 at the low point, and the upside is arranged with air outlet pipe 18 (air outlet pipe 18 is connected with external suction device, is prior art, and here is not described in detail) that communicates with the outside of sealing cover 2, and oil outlet 16 and air outlet pipe 18 are arranged staggeredly left and right;

[0027] Ultrasonic generator 8 is connected and is fixed by bolt on the plane of sealing cover 2 through flange 9, and a plurality of stud 11 are fixed on the plane of separation chamber 14, and transducer 10 is installed on stud 11, and the input end of transducer 10 is connected with ultrasonic generator 8 through positive connection line 12 and negative connection line 13, and the vibration head of transducer 10 is connected with the upper plane of separation chamber 14;

[0028] A buffer 25, such as a damping spring 23 abutting between the separation chamber 14 and the sealing cover 2, is arranged between the separation chamber 14 and the sealing cover 2 to absorb the vibration generated during the operation of the ultrasonic generator 8.

[0029] A protruding nozzle 3 is arranged on the upper surface of the sealing cover 2 near the outer diameter side, as shown in Figure 4 The protruding nozzle 3 is internally provided with upper and lower clamping grooves 4 and 5 with different heights.

[0030] An oil saturation detector 19 is inserted into the protruding nozzle 3, as shown in Figure 5 The outer wall of the oil saturation detector 19 is provided with an elastic clamping member 20. When the elastic clamping member 20 is in contact with the lower clamping groove 5 in the protruding nozzle 3, the oil saturation detector 19 is inserted into the filter element 15 in the separation chamber 14 to monitor the saturation degree of the oil in the filter element 15.

[0031] When the unit is running, the rotating shaft 1 rotates to stir the oil in the oil groove 7 to increase the oil temperature and form oil mist. The oil mist enters the separation chamber 14 under the negative pressure of the suction device. The oil and air are separated by the filter element 15 in the separation chamber 14. The separated oil is adsorbed by the filter element 15, and the separated air is discharged to the outside through the air outlet pipe 18.

[0032] After the oil mist passing through the filter element 15 is adsorbed by the filter element 15, the oil saturation detector 19 monitors the oil reaching the preset value and sends a signal to the automatic control unit 26. The automatic control unit 26 drives the oil saturation detector 19 to act upward (the driving mechanism is not the focus of the present application and is not described here). The elastic clamping member 20 enters the upper clamping groove 4 to make the oil saturation detector 19 separate from the filter element 15. Then, the automatic control unit 26 sends a command to the ultrasonic generator 8 to drive the transducer 10 to act, convert the high-frequency electrical signal into mechanical vibration, and transmit it to the oil in the filter element 15 through the separation chamber 14. Under the action of the ultrasonic wave, the oil is separated from the filter element 15, and the oil flows back into the oil groove 7 through the oil outlet 16. When the oil in the filter element 15 flows out, the ultrasonic generator 8 stops working, and the automatic control unit 26 drives the oil saturation detector 19 to act downward, so that the elastic clamping member 20 enters the lower clamping groove 5 to make the oil saturation detector 19 extend into the filter element 15 to monitor the saturation degree of the oil.

[0033] When the oil mist overflows along the rotating shaft 1 through the gap between the sealing cover 2 and the rotating shaft 1, the follow-up sealing teeth 22 can prevent the oil mist from overflowing.

[0034] The oil mist absorption device in the oil groove 7 emits high-frequency electric signals through the ultrasonic generator 8, converts the high-frequency electric signals into mechanical vibration through the transducer 10, and separates the oil liquid from the air under the action of the ultrasonic wave after the oil mist in the oil groove 7 is adsorbed by the filter core 15, and the oil liquid flows back into the oil groove 7 and the air is discharged to the outside, which not only prevents the overflow of the oil mist, but also prolongs the service life of the filter core 15 and plays a role of recycling.
