Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil-water separator technology, specifically a novel automatic oil-water separator for cleaning machines. Background Technology

[0002] Oil-water separators are an important component of water-based cleaning machines. Their main function is to separate and discharge the oil components in the cleaning solution, reducing the oil content and preventing the cleaning effect from being reduced due to excessive oil content. Currently, the oil-water separators in cleaning machines cannot adjust the oil discharge speed, and oil is mainly discharged manually at regular intervals, which increases labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to propose a new type of automatic oil-water separator for cleaning machines.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] Design a new type of automatic oil-water separator for a cleaning machine, including a treatment tank, a pump body 1, an adjustment component, a pump body 2, a pump body 3, an oil collector, and a water tank for the cleaning machine;

[0006] The processing box is equipped with an adjustment component. A second pump body is located on one side of the processing box, and a first pump body is located on the other side of the processing box. The input end of the first pump body is fixedly connected to the oil collector through a pipeline. The oil collector is located inside the water tank of the cleaning machine. A third pump body is located on one side of the water tank of the cleaning machine. Cover plates are respectively provided on both sides of the upper end of the processing box.

[0007] Preferably, an oil-water separation chamber is provided in the middle of the processing tank, a return water chamber is provided on one side above the oil-water separation chamber, an oil skimming chamber is provided on the other side above the oil-water separation chamber, and a waste oil chamber is provided at the end of the oil-water separation chamber away from the oil skimming chamber.

[0008] Preferably, a valve is provided on the lower outer side of the oil-water separation chamber, and the oil-water separation chamber and the waste oil chamber are both fixedly connected to the input end of the pump body three through pipelines. The side of the oil-water separation chamber away from the valve is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump body one.

[0009] Preferably, the input end of the second pump body is connected to the bottom of the skimming chamber, and the output end of the second pump body is connected to the top of the waste oil chamber.

[0010] Preferably, the regulating assembly includes a return water riser, a threaded pipe, and a seal;

[0011] One end of the return water riser is threadedly connected to a threaded pipe. A sealing element is installed on the inner side of the threaded pipe, and the outer wall of the sealing element is in contact with the return water riser.

[0012] Preferably, the lower outer wall of the return water riser is fixedly connected to the return water chamber, and the bottom of the return water chamber is connected to the water tank of the cleaning machine through a pipeline.

[0013] Preferably, a liquid level sensor is provided in the middle of the waste oil chamber, and the liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the pump body.

[0014] Preferably, the side end of the skimming cavity is provided with multiple tooth-shaped notches.

[0015] This invention proposes a novel automatic oil-water separator for a cleaning machine. Its advantages lie in the following: by rotating the threaded tube, the tube moves up and down along the return water riser, thereby adjusting its height and regulating the oil-water level inside the oil-water separation chamber. When the liquid level in the separation chamber increases, the contact area between the oil and the toothed notch increases, leading to a greater flow rate and faster skimming speed. Conversely, when the liquid level decreases, the skimming speed decreases. This allows for adjustment of the skimming speed based on the cleaning machine's output, controlling the oil content of the cleaning fluid in the water tank while minimizing wastewater discharge. Furthermore, the automatic discharge of oil from the cleaning machine via a sewage pump and a level sensor in the wastewater tank improves efficiency and saves labor costs.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0023] This embodiment proposes a novel automatic oil-water separator for cleaning machines, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the system includes a treatment tank 1, a pump body 2, an adjusting component 3, a second pump body 4, a third pump body 6, an oil collector 7, and a cleaning machine water tank 8. The adjusting component 3 is installed inside the treatment tank 1. The second pump body 4 is installed on one side of the treatment tank 1, and the first pump body 2 is installed on the other side of the treatment tank 1. The input end of the first pump body 2 is fixedly connected to the oil collector 7 through a pipeline. The oil collector 7 is installed inside the cleaning machine water tank 8. The third pump body 6 is installed on one side of the cleaning machine water tank 8. The oil collector 7 is fixed to the upper part of the cleaning machine water tank 8. The first pump body 2 transports the oil-water mixture in the cleaning machine water tank 8 to the oil-water separation chamber 101 through the oil collector 7. Since the density of oil is less than that of water, the oil floats above the oil-water separation chamber 101, and the water is located below the oil-water separation chamber 101. Cover plates are installed on both sides of the upper end of the treatment tank 1.

[0024] An oil-water separation chamber 101 is provided in the middle of the treatment tank 1. A return water chamber 102 is provided on one side above the oil-water separation chamber 101, and an oil skimming chamber 103 is provided on the other side above the oil-water separation chamber 101. A waste oil chamber 104 is provided at the end of the oil-water separation chamber 101 away from the oil skimming chamber 103. A valve 5 is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the oil-water separation chamber 101. The oil-water separation chamber 101 and the waste oil chamber 104 are both fixedly connected to the input end of the pump body 6 through pipelines. The side of the oil-water separation chamber 101 away from the valve 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump body 2. The fixed connection controls the opening of valve 5, and the wastewater inside the oil-water separation chamber 101 is discharged to the outside through pump body 3 6. The input end of pump body 2 4 is connected to the bottom of the skimming chamber 103, and the output end of pump body 2 4 is connected to the top of the waste oil chamber 104. The separated oil flows into the waste oil chamber 104 through pump body 2 4. The waste oil chamber 103 is equipped with a liquid level sensor 1041. When the liquid level reaches the height of the liquid level sensor 1041, pump body 3 6 is automatically started to discharge the oil to the outside of the waste oil chamber 104.

[0025] The adjusting assembly 3 includes a return water riser 301, a threaded pipe 302, and a seal 303. One end of the return water riser 301 is threadedly connected to the threaded pipe 302. The seal 303 is installed on the inner side of the threaded pipe 302 inside the return water riser 301. The outer wall of the seal 303 is in contact with the return water riser 301. The lower part of the outer wall of the return water riser 301 is fixedly connected to the return water chamber 102. The bottom of the return water chamber 102 is connected to the water tank 8 of the cleaning machine through a pipeline. The water below the oil-water separation chamber 101 can flow back to the water tank 8 of the cleaning machine through the return water riser 301. Since the threaded pipe 302 is connected to the oil-water separation chamber 101 through the return water riser 301, the liquid level of the oil-water separation chamber 101 is equal to the height of the upper end face of the threaded pipe 302. The threaded pipe 302 and the return water riser 301 are connected by threads. The liquid level of the oil-water separation chamber 101 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the threaded pipe 302.

[0026] A liquid level sensor 1041 is installed in the middle of the waste oil chamber 104. The liquid level sensor 1041 is electrically connected to the pump body 4. Multiple toothed notches 1031 are provided on the side end of the skimming chamber 103. The oil-water separation chamber 101 and the skimming chamber 103 are connected by the toothed notches. At the opening of the high liquid toothed notch 1031 of the oil-water separation chamber 101, when the liquid level of the oil-water separation chamber 101 increases, the oil flows into the interior of the skimming chamber 103 through the toothed notch 1031. When the liquid level of the oil-water separation chamber 101 increases, the contact area between the oil and the toothed notch 1031 increases, the flow rate of the oil entering the skimming chamber increases, and the skimming speed increases. Conversely, when the liquid level of the oil-water separation chamber 101 decreases, the skimming speed decreases.

[0027] Specifically, the skimming pump pumps the oil-water mixture into the oil-water separation chamber. The liquid level in the oil-water separation chamber can be adjusted by rotating the height of the threaded pipe. The oil-water separation chamber and the skimming chamber are connected by a toothed notch 1031. The high liquid level in the oil-water separation chamber 101 is at the toothed notch 1031. When the liquid level in the oil-water separation chamber 101 increases, the contact area between the oil and the toothed notch 1031 increases, the flow rate of oil entering the skimming chamber 103 increases, and the skimming speed increases. Conversely, when the liquid level in the oil-water separation chamber 101 decreases, the skimming speed decreases. The separated oil flows from the skimming chamber 103 into the waste oil chamber 104 through the pump body 2 4. The waste oil chamber 103 is equipped with a liquid level sensor 1041. When the liquid level reaches the height of the liquid level sensor 1041, the pump body 3 6 automatically starts, discharging the oil out of the waste oil chamber 104.

[0028] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail are possible within the scope of the claims.
