Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil tank setting technology, and in particular to a device for supporting an oil tank. Background Technology

[0002] During the overhaul of hydro-generator sets, it is usually necessary to calibrate the temperature sensor of the guide bearing, and the testing device is an oil tank.

[0003] In existing technologies, the oil tank is typically placed in the calibration area during calibration. While this method effectively completes the calibration, the large number of personnel moving around the calibration area inevitably leads to contact with the oil tank. This can cause the tank to shake, resulting in oil spillage, and in severe cases, even the entire tank may tip over, causing all the oil to leak out and contaminate the site.

[0004] Furthermore, after inspection, the oil temperature needs to be cooled to around 20 degrees Celsius before the protective cap can be placed on the oil tank. Currently, the cooling method is natural cooling, which, while effective, is time-consuming. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a device for supporting oil tanks. To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An apparatus for supporting an oil tank includes a fixing mechanism for limiting the oil tank, a liquid storage mechanism connected to the fixing mechanism for holding cooling fluid, and a cooling mechanism for allowing the cooling fluid in the liquid storage mechanism to circulate between the oil tank and the liquid storage mechanism to cool the oil in the oil tank.

[0007] The liquid storage mechanism is fixed at the bottom of the fixed mechanism to lower the center of gravity of the fixed mechanism, thereby lowering the center of gravity of the oil tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the cooling mechanism includes an inlet and an outlet disposed on and connected to the liquid storage mechanism, a cooling section disposed in the oil tank and allowing its two ends to be connected to the inlet and outlet respectively, and a drive section configured to allow a force to be applied to the cooling fluid in the liquid storage mechanism so that the cooling fluid moves along the cooling section.

[0009] Furthermore, the cooling section includes a liquid delivery pipe that is connected to the liquid inlet section and the liquid outlet section respectively, and a cooling pipe disposed in the oil tank and connected to each of the liquid delivery pipes.

[0010] Furthermore, the cooling pipe is configured in a spiral shape to increase its volume for holding cooling fluid.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive unit is configured as a water pump, and the water pump is allowed to apply force toward the cooling fluid in the liquid storage mechanism, and drive the cooling fluid to move in the delivery pipe and cooling pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the liquid storage mechanism includes a base plate, a side plate disposed on the base plate and extending upward therefrom, and a top plate covering the side plate, wherein the base plate, side plate and top plate together form a chamber for containing cooling fluid.

[0013] Furthermore, an injection section for communicating with the chamber is provided on the top plate, and a drainage section for communicating with the chamber is provided on the side plate near the bottom plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing frame that is relatively fixed to the top plate and extends upward, the fixing frame being used to form a cavity for placing the oil tank and allowing the oil tank to be limited.

[0015] Furthermore, the fixing frame includes four fixing rods arranged in pairs opposite each other. The fixing rods are constructed in an "L" shape, allowing the two right-angled sides of the fixing rods to abut against the edge of the oil groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism also includes a first fixing frame disposed between the fixing frame and the top plate. The first fixing frame is also constructed in an "L" shape, allowing the two right-angled sides of the first fixing frame to abut against the edge of the oil trough.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention includes a fixing mechanism for limiting the position of the oil tank, a liquid storage mechanism connected to the fixing mechanism for holding cooling fluid, and a cooling mechanism that allows the cooling fluid in the liquid storage mechanism to circulate between the oil tank and the liquid storage mechanism to cool the oil in the oil tank. The liquid storage mechanism is fixed to the bottom of the fixing mechanism to lower the center of gravity of the fixing mechanism, thereby lowering the center of gravity of the oil tank and ensuring its stability. Simultaneously, this configuration allows the cooling fluid to circulate between the oil tank and the liquid storage mechanism, thus cooling the oil. This also improves the cooling efficiency of the oil. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

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 a device for carrying an oil tank is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Figure 1 The schematic diagram illustrates the overall structure of the device for carrying an oil tank according to the present invention. In such a way... Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the device for supporting the oil tank includes a fixing mechanism 1 for limiting the position of the oil tank, and a liquid storage mechanism 2 connected to the fixing mechanism 1. In this embodiment, the liquid storage mechanism 2 is configured to hold cooling fluid.

[0025] In the illustrated embodiment, the device for supporting the oil tank also includes a cooling mechanism 3, which is configured to allow cooling fluid in the liquid storage device 2 to circulate between the oil tank and the liquid storage device 2. In this way, the cooling mechanism 3, during operation, can cool the oil in the oil tank by circulating the cooling fluid in the liquid storage device 2 between the oil tank and the liquid storage device 2.

[0026] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the liquid storage mechanism 2 is disposed at the bottom of the fixing mechanism 1 and is fixed to the fixing mechanism 1. This arrangement lowers the center of gravity of the fixing mechanism 1, thereby lowering the center of gravity of the oil tank. This allows the oil tank to be stably disposed on the fixing mechanism 1.

[0027] In this configuration, when an oil tank needs to be placed on this device and the oil in the tank is cooled by this device, firstly, the oil tank is placed on the fixing mechanism 1, and the fixing mechanism 1 limits the oil tank, thereby making the oil tank stably connected to this device.

[0028] Then, the cooling mechanism 3 is activated. At this time, the cooling mechanism 3 will transfer the cooling fluid located in the liquid storage mechanism 2 to the oil tank, and after exchanging heat with the oil in the oil tank, it will return to the liquid storage mechanism 2. This process is repeated to achieve the circulation of the cooling fluid, thereby cooling the oil in the oil tank.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cooling mechanism 3 includes an inlet section 31 and an outlet section 32 disposed on and connected to the liquid storage mechanism 2, and a cooling section 33 disposed in the oil tank. The two ends of the cooling section 33 are respectively connected to the inlet section 31 and the outlet section 32.

[0030] In this way, the inlet section 31, the cooling section 33, and the outlet section 32 can jointly form a passage for the movement of cooling fluid, and the cooling fluid can exchange heat with the oil in the oil tank during the movement along the passage, thereby cooling the oil in the oil tank.

[0031] In the illustrated embodiment, the cooling mechanism 3 further includes a drive unit 34, which is configured to allow force to be applied to the cooling fluid in the liquid storage mechanism 2 and to enable the cooling fluid to move along a path formed by the liquid inlet 31, the cooling part 33, and the liquid outlet 32.

[0032] In this configuration, when the cooling mechanism 3 is needed to cool the oil in the oil tank, the drive unit 34 is activated. During this process, the drive unit 34 continuously applies force to the cooling fluid located in the liquid storage mechanism 2.

[0033] At this time, the cooling fluid continuously moves from the reservoir 2 to the inlet 31, and then enters the cooling section 33, where it exchanges heat with the oil. After passing through the cooling section 33, the cooling fluid moves to the outlet 32 ​​and then returns to the reservoir 2. This achieves the cooling of the oil.

[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cooling section 33 includes at least two infusion pipes 331. In this embodiment, the two infusion pipes 331 are respectively connected to the inlet section 31 and the outlet section 32. The cooling section 33 also includes a cooling pipe 332. In the illustrated embodiment, the cooling pipe 332 is disposed within the oil tank and is respectively connected to the two infusion pipes 331.

[0035] In this way, the liquid outlet 32, the liquid delivery pipe 331, the cooling pipe 332, the liquid delivery pipe 331, and the liquid inlet 31 together form a passage for the movement of cooling fluid, so that the cooling fluid can circulate between the liquid storage mechanism 2 and the oil tank, and the fluid can exchange heat with the oil body located inside the oil tank during the circulation process, thereby achieving the cooling operation of the oil body.

[0036] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cooling pipe 332 is arranged in a spiral shape. This increases the volume of cooling fluid that the cooling pipe 332 can hold. Therefore, it improves the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling pipe 332 and the oil. It should be noted that the spiral structure formed by the cooling pipe 332 is well known to those skilled in the art. Therefore, it will not be described further here.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive unit 34 is configured as a water pump. In this embodiment, the water pump is configured to apply force toward the cooling fluid in the liquid storage mechanism 2 and drive the cooling fluid to move within the delivery pipe 331 and the cooling pipe 332. In this way, when the water pump is started, the cooling fluid can be circulated between the liquid storage mechanism 2 and the oil tank.

[0038] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a start button 35 is also provided on the fixing mechanism 1. The start button 35 is configured to allow the drive unit 34 to be started in a selectable manner. It should be noted that the method of starting the water pump by the start button 35 is well known to those skilled in the art. Therefore, it will not be described in detail here.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the liquid storage mechanism 2 includes a base plate 21, a side plate 22 disposed on the base plate 21 and extending upward, and a top plate 23 covering the side plate 22. In this way, the base plate 21, the side plate 22, and the top plate 23 together form a chamber for containing cooling fluid.

[0040] At the same time, such as Figure 1 As shown, a liquid injection section 231 for communicating with the chamber is also provided on the top plate 23, and a liquid drainage section 221 for communicating with the chamber is also provided on the side plate 22 near the bottom plate 21. In this way, when it is necessary to add cooling fluid into the chamber, a liquid injection device (not shown in the figure) can be connected to the liquid injection section 231 to realize the liquid injection into the chamber. When it is necessary to drain the cooling fluid from the chamber, the liquid drainage section 221 is opened to realize the operation of draining the cooling fluid from the chamber.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing mechanism 1 includes a fixing frame 11 that is fixed to the top plate 23 and extends upward. The fixing frame 11 forms a cavity 111 for placing the oil tank and allowing the oil tank to be positioned. In this embodiment, the fixing frame 11 includes four fixing rods 112 arranged in pairs opposite each other. The fixing rods 112 are constructed in an "L" shape, allowing the two right-angled sides of the fixing rods 112 to abut against the sides of the oil tank. In this way, the oil tank can be subjected to a radially inward force exerted by the fixing rods 112 when it moves, thereby achieving the positioning operation of the oil tank.

[0042] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing mechanism 1 also includes a first fixing frame 12, which is disposed between the fixing frame 11 and the top plate 23, and is fixed to both the fixing frame 11 and the top plate 23 respectively. Furthermore, the first fixing frame 12 is also constructed in an "L" shape, allowing its two right-angled sides to abut against the edge of the oil tank. This arrangement further enables the fixing mechanism 1 to limit the movement of the oil tank. Simultaneously, this configuration increases the contact area with the top plate 23. Therefore, the fixing mechanism 1 can be stably connected to the top plate 1.

[0043] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a second fixing frame 13 is also provided at the free end of the fixing frame 11. The second fixing frame 13 is used to connect the fixing rods 112 together. In this way, the fixing rods 112 can be stably set, thereby stably limiting the oil tank.

[0044] The operation of the device for carrying an oil tank according to this utility model is as follows.

[0045] First, the oil tank is placed inside the cavity 111, with its right-angled sides abutting against the fixing rod 112 and the first fixing frame 12. This allows the fixing rod 112 and the first fixing frame 12 to limit the movement of the oil tank, ensuring its stable placement on the device.

[0046] Simultaneously, two infusion pipes 31 are installed, and the two infusion pipes 31 are interconnected in the manner of infusion pipe 331, cooling pipe 332, and infusion pipe 331. Furthermore, the cooling pipe 332 is placed inside the oil tank, and the free ends of the two infusion pipes 31 are respectively connected to the outlet section 32 and the inlet section 31. In this way, the outlet section 32, infusion pipe 331, cooling pipe 332, infusion pipe 331, and inlet section 31 together form a pathway for the movement of cooling fluid.

[0047] Secondly, a drive unit 34 is provided, which allows the drive unit 34 to apply force to the cooling fluid in the liquid storage mechanism 2, and enables the cooling fluid to move along the path formed by the liquid outlet 32, the liquid delivery pipe 331, the cooling pipe 332, the liquid delivery pipe 331, and the liquid inlet 31. Thus, the cooling mechanism 3 is completed.

[0048] When the cooling mechanism 3 is needed to cool the oil in the oil tank, the drive unit 34 is activated. During this process, the drive unit 34 continuously applies force to the cooling fluid located in the liquid storage mechanism 2.

[0049] At this time, the cooling fluid will continuously move along the path formed by the liquid outlet 32, the liquid delivery pipe 331, the cooling pipe 332, the liquid delivery pipe 331, and the liquid inlet 31. This achieves the circulation of the cooling fluid, thereby cooling the oil in the oil tank.

[0050] 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.
