[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an external oil cooler for a high-capacity vacuum pump, including a housing 1, a cooling cylinder 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, an oil inlet pipe 3 connected to one end of the cooling cylinder 2, and an oil outlet pipe 4 connected to the other end of the cooling cylinder 2. Both the oil inlet pipe 3 and the oil outlet pipe 4 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. A heat dissipation pipe 12 is fitted onto the surface of the cooling cylinder 2, with a water inlet 14 fixedly connected to one end of the heat dissipation pipe 12 and a water outlet 13 fixedly connected to the other end. Through the oil inlet pipe 3, the cooling cylinder 2, and the oil outlet pipe 4, the vacuum oil inside the vacuum pump can be extracted and injected, while the heat carried by the vacuum oil is absorbed by the coolant circulating in the heat dissipation pipe 12.

[0029] The following is a detailed explanation of its overall setup and function.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment: a first solenoid valve 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the oil inlet pipe 3, and a second solenoid valve 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the oil outlet pipe 4. The first solenoid valve 5 and the second solenoid valve 6 can be used to close and open the oil inlet pipe 3 and the oil outlet pipe 4. A mounting bracket 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the housing 1 near the oil outlet pipe 4. A pump body 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 7. The input end of the pump body 8 is fixedly connected to the oil outlet pipe 4, and the output end of the pump body 8 is fixedly connected to a first connecting pipe 9. The mounting bracket 7 allows the pump body 8 to be connected to the housing 1, and the pump body 8 allows vacuum oil to be drawn into the first connecting pipe 9. A replacement box 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first connecting pipe 9, and a second connecting pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the replacement box 10 away from the first connecting pipe 9. The replacement box 10 allows for convenient replacement of the vacuum oil, and the second connecting pipe 11 connects the replacement box 10 to the vacuum pump.

[0031] The upper surface of the replacement box 10 is connected to an oil injection pipe 19, and the side of the replacement box 10 away from the oil injection pipe 19 is connected to an oil drain pipe 18. Through the oil injection pipe 19 and the oil drain pipe 18, when the vacuum oil needs to be replaced, the old vacuum oil to be replaced is first discharged from the oil drain pipe 18, and then new vacuum oil is injected through the oil injection pipe 19. A third solenoid valve 20 is fixedly connected to the surface of the oil drain pipe 18, and a fourth solenoid valve 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the oil injection pipe 19. The third solenoid valve 20 and the fourth solenoid valve 21 can be used to open and close the oil drain pipe 18 and the oil injection pipe 19. A fixing block 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the replacement box 10, and an electric telescopic rod 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing block 22. The electric telescopic rod 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the replacement box 10, and a sealing plate 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 15. A sealing frame 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the replacement box 10, and the sealing plate 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sealing frame 16. When the vacuum oil needs to be replaced, the sealing plate 17 can be moved closer to the sealing frame 16 by controlling the electric telescopic rod 15 to complete the sealing of the replacement box 10, thereby facilitating the replacement of the vacuum oil.

[0032] Working principle: Before using the vacuum pump, the cooling cylinder 2 inside the housing 1 is first connected to the vacuum pump through the oil inlet pipe 3 and the oil outlet pipe 4. Simultaneously, the pump body 8 on the mounting bracket 7 is started, and the first solenoid valve 5 and the second solenoid valve 6 are opened, allowing the vacuum oil in the vacuum pump to enter the cooling cylinder 2 through the oil inlet pipe 3. The coolant is then introduced into the heat dissipation pipe 12 through the water inlet 14, whereby the heat dissipation pipe 12 absorbs the heat from the vacuum oil in the cooling cylinder 2. The coolant is then discharged from the heat dissipation pipe 12 through the water outlet 13, achieving a coolant circulation process. The cooled vacuum oil passes through the oil outlet pipe 4, the pump body 8, and the second solenoid valve 6. The connecting pipe 9, the replacement box 10, and the second connecting pipe 11 then enter the vacuum pump to complete the cooling process of the vacuum oil. When the vacuum oil needs to be replaced, first activate the electric telescopic rod 15 on the fixing block 22 to bring the sealing plate 17 close to the sealing frame 16, blocking the connection between the replacement box 10 and the second connecting pipe 11. Then, open the third solenoid valve 20, start the pump body 8, and discharge the vacuum oil to be replaced through the drain pipe 18. After that, open the fourth solenoid valve 21, inject new vacuum oil through the oil injection pipe 19, control the sealing plate 17 away from the sealing frame 16, and start the pump body 8 to input the vacuum oil into the vacuum pump. The oil inlet pipe 3, cooling cylinder 2, oil outlet pipe 4, and pump body 8 enable the extraction and injection of vacuum oil into the vacuum pump. The coolant circulates within the cooling cylinder 12 via the water outlet 13, heat dissipation pipe 12, and water inlet 14, thereby absorbing and cooling the heat of the vacuum oil in the cooling cylinder 2. The replacement box 10, oil drain pipe 18, oil injection pipe 19, sealing frame 16, and sealing plate 17 facilitate the replacement of vacuum oil in the vacuum pump when needed, thus improving the efficiency of vacuum oil replacement.
