Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil depots, specifically a hand-held and electric integrated oil sampler, which is mainly used in large, medium and small edible oil depots for managing oil stored in sampling tanks or for sampling inspections at various levels. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, oil sampling at various oil depots uses a sampling rope and sampling bucket, with the operation completed manually by pulling the rope. The drawbacks of this equipment are: 1. Existing sampling ropes are mostly anti-static hemp ropes, which are highly absorbent of oil. Operators must manually remove the oil adhering to the rope, which can easily result in hand injuries from the copper wires. 2. The high oil absorption of the anti-static hemp rope makes it difficult to remove oil completely by hand, leading to waste of vegetable oil and increased storage losses. 3. Existing hemp ropes cannot accurately mark the sampling height, resulting in inaccurate sampling of oil at different heights. 4. The entire operation leaves hands covered in oil, which is unhygienic and may further soil clothing. 5. Oil droplets from the sampling rope are highly likely to drip onto the top surface of the oil tank, causing contamination and losses. 6. Manual operation is inconvenient, generally requiring two people to operate. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following will be combined with the appendix Figures 1-5 This utility model will be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] This utility model provides an improved hand-held and electric integrated oil sampler, primarily used in large, medium, and small edible oil depots for managing oil samples stored in sampling tanks or for sampling inspections at various levels; such as Figure 1As shown, it can be implemented as follows: The oil sampler includes a triangular bracket 20 supported on the top of the oil tank 10, and a motor 30 and a steel tape measure unit 40 mounted on the triangular bracket 20. The rotating end of the motor 30 is connected to the steel tape measure unit 40, and the motor 30 can roll the steel tape measure to retract it. The bottom of the steel tape measure is a hook. The oil sampler also includes a sampling bucket 50 suspended from the bottom of the steel tape measure. The steel tape measure unit 40 has a manual retraction rod 60, which can be manually rolled to retract the steel tape measure.

[0023] When this application is implemented, the steel tape measure has a scale. The scaled steel tape measure replaces the cotton and hemp rope. The manual pulling of the cotton and hemp rope is transformed into manual (electric) winding of the steel tape measure. According to the different scale heights of the steel tape measure, different oil layers and grease samples can be accurately taken.

[0024] When this application is implemented; if Figures 4-5 As shown, the bottom of the sampling bucket is movable. A touch-type bottom valve connecting rod is added to the outside of the sampling bucket. The connecting rod is raised above the sampling bucket. After the sample is taken out, pressing down on the top of the connecting rod with one finger can open the bottom valve to release the grease in the bucket. This avoids the grease flowing out and staining the entire palm when the bottom valve of the sampling bucket is opened directly with a finger.

[0025] In summary, this application improves upon the previous method by replacing the cotton rope with a graduated steel measuring tape. The manual pulling of the cotton rope is replaced with a manual (or electric) winding of the steel measuring tape. Different oil layers can be accurately sampled based on the varying heights of the steel measuring tape. A touch-sensitive bottom valve lever is added to the outside of the original sampling container. The lever extends above the sampling container; after sampling, pressing down on the top of the lever with a single finger opens the bottom valve to release the grease, preventing grease from flowing out and staining the palm when the bottom valve is opened directly with a finger. A grease remover (such as a measuring tape degreaser) is added to the inlet and outlet of the original measuring tape. Figures 2-3 As shown, this device can remove grease from a measuring tape. The motor, tape body, and grease remover are connected together by a special shaft. A triangular bracket at the bottom of the shaft provides support and fixation to the top of the oil tank, allowing a single person to complete the entire sampling operation.

[0026] like Figures 2-3 The grease sampler shown also includes an oil remover 70 for manually removing oil from a steel tape measure. The manually operated oil remover 70 corresponds to the protruding inlet of the steel tape measure. This handheld oil remover is applicable to large, medium, and small edible oil storage facilities, and is used to measure oil levels in existing oil dipstick tanks or for various levels of inspection and measurement of oil levels; for example... Figures 2-3 As shown, it comprises a hinge assembly 1, two sets of operating blocks 2 fixed on the hinge assembly 1, and an oil scraping unit 3 for scraping oil off the surface of the dipstick and an oil dipstick wiping unit 4 for wiping the dipstick.

[0027] In the implementation of the handheld dipstick oil remover described in this application, a hinge assembly 1 is made of a suitable size fixing material, and the hinge assembly 1 is connected to the operating block 2 by bolts.

[0028] In the implementation of the handheld dipstick oil remover described in this application, four neodymium iron boron magnets with suitable attraction are embedded inside the operating block 2. Square magnets 5 are used in pairs at the top, and round magnets 6 are used in pairs at the bottom. The round material conforms to the characteristics of grease-like fluids, facilitating faster scraping of the oil flowing into the container. A dipstick wiping unit 4 is fixed to the surface of the upper square magnets 5. The dipstick wiping unit 4 is made of highly absorbent bio-based bamboo charcoal fiber cloth. A similarly round, non-stick oil scraping unit 3 is fixed to the lower round magnets 6. The oil scraping unit 3 uses PTFE gasket material.

[0029] In the implementation of the handheld dipstick oil remover described in this application, a hand strap 7 is provided on the outside of the operating block 2. During operation, the hand strap is put on the four fingers and the thumb respectively, and the dipstick and oil remover can be separated by using the tension of the fingers to separate the hinge.

[0030] In implementation of the handheld dipstick oil remover described in this application, when the oil remover is operated, magnetic force is applied evenly to both sides of the dipstick when the hinge assembly is closed. First, a PTFE gasket scrapes off the vegetable oil adsorbed on the dipstick surface, and then the dipstick is wiped clean with a bio-carbon fiber cloth. Hand straps are fixed to both sides of the hinge, which are respectively fitted with four fingers and the thumb. The dipstick and oil remover are separated by using finger tension to open the hinge. The upper bio-carbon fiber cloth is secured with Velcro, allowing for easy and convenient replacement and ensuring long-term use of the handheld oil remover.

[0031] When the handheld dipstick oil remover described in this application is implemented, a limiting pin 8 is provided on the inner side of the operating block 2 to limit the dipstick.

[0032] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
