Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oil pump technology, specifically relating to a pneumatic oil pump. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, pumps are the most commonly used equipment in oil extraction processes, but most of these pumps are electrically driven. While electric oil pumps can meet the requirements of most production processes, flammable gas volatilization or leakage is inevitable in oil refining, chemical, and explosion-proof industries. When electric oil pumps (motors, wiring, switches) generate electrical sparks, fires and explosions can easily occur, posing safety hazards to production. Therefore, electric oil pumps cannot meet the requirements for use in explosion-proof environments. Furthermore, most existing electric oil pumps have rated power. When pumping oils of different concentrations (gasoline, kerosene, diesel, engine oil, hydraulic oil), the load on the electric pump motor varies. Pumping higher concentration oils can easily cause the motor to burn out, resulting in poor applicability and flexibility of these electric oil pumps. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a pneumatic oil pump includes a cylinder body 1, a piston rod 2, a pneumatic control valve 3, and an energy storage tank 4 disposed within the cylinder body 1. The cylinder body 1 is respectively provided with an oil storage cylinder 5 and a gas storage cylinder 6. The cylinder body 1 is respectively provided with an oil inlet port 11 and an oil outlet port 12 connected to the oil storage cylinder 5. An oil-drawing piston 51 is disposed within the oil storage cylinder 5, and a pneumatic piston 61 is disposed within the gas storage cylinder 6. The oil-drawing piston 51 and the pneumatic piston 61 are respectively linked and disposed at both ends of the piston rod 2. The pneumatic control valve 3 is connected to the cylinder body 1 and communicates with the gas storage cylinder 6. The pneumatic control valve 3 causes compressed gas to drive the pneumatic piston 61 to reciprocate within the gas storage cylinder 6. The pneumatic piston 61 causes the piston rod 2 to drive the oil-drawing piston 51 to reciprocate within the oil storage cylinder 5. The energy storage tank 4 is connected to the cylinder body 1 and is used to enhance the oil pressure at the oil outlet 10. This pneumatic oil pump adopts a piston-type structure design, using the reciprocating motion of the piston to achieve oil suction and discharge. It features explosion-proof and corrosion-resistant advantages. It eliminates the need for a power supply in the production area, avoiding the safety hazards of electrical sparks and thus meeting the requirements for use in explosion-proof environments. The air pressure can be adjusted via a pneumatic control valve to flexibly handle the suction and discharge of oils of different concentrations, broadening its applicability. Furthermore, the energy storage tank can store and pressurize the oil at the outlet, balancing oil pulse fluctuations and improving oil extraction efficiency, thereby ensuring stable and continuous oil discharge.
[0025] like Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figure 4, a first oil storage chamber 52 and a second oil storage chamber 53 are formed on both sides of the oil-suction piston 51 in the oil storage cylinder 5. An oil outlet channel 100 connected to the oil outlet port 12 is provided inside the cylinder body 1. A first oil outlet channel 101 and a second oil outlet channel 102, respectively connected to the first oil storage chamber 52 and the second oil storage chamber 53, are also provided inside the cylinder body 1. The first oil outlet channel 101 and the second oil outlet channel 102 are respectively connected to the oil outlet channel 100. The first oil outlet channel 101 and the second oil outlet channel 102 are respectively provided with… A first oil outlet check valve 13 and a second oil outlet check valve 14 are provided. An oil inlet channel 103 connected to an oil inlet port 11 is provided within the cylinder body 1. A first oil inlet channel 104 and a second oil inlet channel 105 connected to a first oil storage chamber 52 and a second oil storage chamber 53 are respectively provided within the cylinder body 1. The first oil inlet channel 104 and the second oil inlet channel 105 are respectively connected to the oil inlet channel 103. A first oil inlet check valve 15 and a second oil inlet check valve 16 are respectively provided within the first oil inlet channel 104 and the second oil inlet channel 105. By the reciprocating motion of the oil-drawing piston within the oil storage cylinder, the first oil storage chamber and the second oil storage chamber are able to draw and discharge oil.

[0026] like Figure 3As shown, the energy storage tank 4 includes an energy storage cylinder 41, an end cap 42, an energy storage piston 43, and an energy storage spring 44. The energy storage cylinder 41 is connected between the cylinder body 1 and the end cap 42. The energy storage piston 43 is disposed inside the energy storage cylinder 41, and the energy storage spring 44 is disposed between the end cap 42 and the energy storage piston 43. An oil hole 106 is provided inside the cylinder body 1, connecting the energy storage cylinder 41 and the oil outlet channel 100. An energy storage oil chamber 400 is formed inside the energy storage cylinder 41 corresponding to the energy storage piston 43 and the oil storage channel 100. An oil outlet hole 401 is connected between the energy storage oil chamber 400 and the oil outlet 10. The energy storage piston compresses the energy storage spring, which can pressurize the oil inside the energy storage oil chamber, thereby enabling the energy storage tank to pressurize the oil in the oil outlet channel, balance the pulse fluctuations of the oil, improve the oil extraction efficiency, and thus ensure stable and continuous oil discharge. The energy storage piston 43 is equipped with two O-rings 44 that seal against the energy storage cylinder 41. The sealing performance between the energy storage piston and the energy storage cylinder is improved through these two O-rings. Multiple bolts 45 are connected between the end cap 42 and the cylinder body 1, arranged in a circular array. These bolts provide reinforcement and fixation, ensuring a more secure connection between the energy storage tank and the cylinder body.

Two sealing grooves 611 are respectively provided on the pneumatic piston 61, and two O-rings 64 are respectively provided in the two sealing grooves 611 to seal against the air storage cylinder 6. The use of double O-rings in conjunction with the air storage cylinder improves the sealing performance between the pneumatic piston and the air storage cylinder.
[0028] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, the cylinder body 1 includes a middle cylinder body 1000, a left cylinder body 1001, and a right cylinder body 1002. An oil reservoir 5 is sealed between the middle cylinder body 1000 and the left cylinder body 1001, and an air reservoir 6 is sealed between the middle cylinder body 1000 and the right cylinder body 1002. The cylinder body is composed of the middle cylinder body, left cylinder body, and right cylinder body, facilitating assembly with the oil reservoir and air reservoir, making assembly more convenient. The oil inlet port 11 and oil outlet port 12 are threaded onto the middle cylinder body 1000, and each oil inlet port 11 and oil outlet port 12 has multiple anti-loosening grooves 1003 protruding from the middle cylinder body 1000. The oil inlet and oil outlet ports are threaded to the middle cylinder body, resulting in higher assembly efficiency, and the anti-loosening grooves prevent the oil pipes from loosening, ensuring a tighter connection between the oil inlet and oil outlet ports.
[0029] The working principle of this pneumatic oil pump is as follows: Figure 3 , 4 As shown, when compressed gas enters the first gas storage chamber 62 of the gas storage cylinder 6 through the pneumatic control valve 3 and the first vent 107, the compressed gas drives the pneumatic piston 61 to move to the left. The pneumatic piston 61 drives the oil sucker piston 51 to move to the left through the piston rod 2. The first oil inlet check valve 15 in the first oil inlet channel 104 opens, and the oil is sucked into the first oil storage chamber 52. The oil sucker piston 51 pushes out the oil in the second oil storage chamber 53. The second oil outlet check valve 14 in the second oil outlet channel 105 opens, and the oil in the second oil outlet channel 102 is discharged from the oil outlet port 12 through the oil outlet channel 100 and the energy storage tank 4. When compressed gas enters the second air storage chamber 63 of the air storage cylinder 6 through the pneumatic control valve 3 and the second vent 108, the compressed gas drives the pneumatic piston 61 to move to the right. The pneumatic piston 61 drives the oil sucker piston 51 to move to the right through the piston rod 2. The second oil inlet check valve 16 in the second oil inlet channel 105 opens, and the oil is sucked into the second oil storage chamber 53. The oil sucker piston 51 pushes out the oil in the first oil storage chamber 52. The first oil outlet check valve 13 in the first oil outlet channel 101 opens, and the oil in the first oil outlet channel 101 is discharged from the oil outlet port 12 through the oil outlet channel 100 and the energy storage tank 4.
