Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of escalator accessories, specifically relating to an oil filtration device suitable for outdoor escalator pits. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the bottom cladding of outdoor escalators has a mesh structure. Rainwater entering the escalator passes through the mesh into the escalator pit, preventing flooding. Water in the pit is then drained into a collection well via pre-buried pipes, where pumps automatically discharge the water into the municipal stormwater network. Typically, escalator pit drainage is only used to remove water from the pit to prevent flooding. However, escalator oil can enter the pit through rainwater and be discharged into the municipal stormwater network via the collection well, posing an environmental risk of exceeding petroleum pollutant emission limits. For example, during the rainy season, large amounts of rainwater splashing or umbrella residue from passengers can enter the escalator, carrying away the lubricating oil. This oil can then enter the pit through the mesh at the bottom of the escalator or the oil-water separator in the lower machine room, and be discharged into the municipal stormwater network via the collection well, significantly impacting the user's public image. Cleaning staff use water to wash away accumulated dust and debris from the escalator steps. This wastewater enters the escalator's interior, carrying away the lubricating oil. The oil flows through the mesh at the bottom of the escalator or the oil-water separator in the lower machine room into the pit, and then drains into the municipal stormwater network via a collection well. During maintenance, if accumulated oil in the lower machine room is not promptly cleaned, excess oil overflows from the oil-water separator and enters the pit, draining into the municipal stormwater network via the collection well. Structural seepage within the escalator pit can also carry oil from the pit into the collection well, ultimately draining into the municipal stormwater network.

[0003] To prevent the oil in the sump from flowing into the municipal stormwater drainage system, it is necessary to regularly clean the oil from the sump. This cleaning is extremely difficult and requires a huge amount of manpower and resources. In addition, the sump is a confined space, and there is a risk of personal injury when working in it.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 An oil filtration device suitable for outdoor escalator pits includes a connecting pipe 1, a filter element 3, and a mounting base. One end of the connecting pipe 1 is connected to the outlet of the pit, and the other end is detachably fixed to the mounting base. The connecting pipe 1 can be made of PVC water pipe. The oil filtration device can be fixed in a pre-reserved drainage hole in the escalator pit using quick-drying cement, or connected to a drainage pipe at the drainage hole via a water pipe connector. The mounting base has a through hole communicating with the outlet. One end of the mounting base is tightly fitted onto the connecting pipe 1, and the other end has a baffle 5. The baffle 5 has several through holes communicating with the through hole. The filter element 3 is installed in the through hole and located between the baffle 5 and the connecting pipe 1. The inner wall of the through hole has an annular groove. The filter element 3 is circular, and its outer edge can be embedded in the annular groove and tightly connected to the inner wall of the annular groove. The filter element 3 is used to filter oil, blocking oil from passing through and preventing oil sludge in the pit from being discharged into the collection well through the outlet. After installation and use, the water quality in the collection well is good, with no obvious floating oil. It can filter the floating oil in the foundation pit and prevent the floating oil from being discharged into the collection well.

[0034] Since escalator oil can enter the escalator pit through rainwater, the oil filtration device for outdoor escalator pits described in this solution effectively prevents oil from entering the sump and being discharged into the municipal stormwater network, thus avoiding the environmental risk of exceeding petroleum pollutant discharge limits. This is achieved by installing a connecting pipe 1 at the outlet and a mounting base with a filter element 3 at the outlet end of the connecting pipe 1. Furthermore, the device has a significant filtration effect, ensuring that the water quality meets standards. After installing this filter, there is no need to regularly clean the floating oil in the sump, greatly reducing the labor costs associated with cleaning the sump. Additionally, the sump is a confined space, avoiding the risk of personal injury from working in the sump.

[0035] Specifically, a portion of the surface of the baffle 5 near the connecting pipe 1 forms a sidewall of the annular groove, and the filter element 3 is fixed in contact with the baffle 5.

[0041] Specifically, the outer diameter of the cap 2 is equal to the outer diameter of the connecting pipe 1, and the outer diameter of the connecting part is equal to the inner diameter of the connecting pipe 1.

[0042] Specifically, the filter element 3 is preferably filter cotton, which can absorb floating oil, and the baffle 5 is preferably a filter screen, which is used to restrict the movement of the filter element 3 and prevent the filter element 3 from being washed away by the water flow. The water pipe, connecting sleeve 4, filter cotton, and cap 2 are processed according to the required dimensions. The connecting sleeve 4 can be made of PVC material. The connecting sleeve 4 and the connecting pipe 1 are glued together with PVC glue. Then, the filter cotton and baffle 5 are placed at the end of the connecting sleeve 4 or inside the cap 2. Finally, the cap 2 is tightened at the end of the connecting sleeve 4, thereby fixing the filter cotton and baffle 5. The oil filtration device suitable for outdoor escalator pits can be assembled in this scheme. Afterwards, the device can be fixed in the reserved drainage hole of the escalator pit with quick-drying cement to achieve oil filtration in the pit drainage hole. A PVC ball valve can be installed in the middle of the connecting pipe 1. A socket-type PVC ball valve can be used and fixed in the middle of the connecting pipe 1 with PVC glue. This PVC ball valve can realize the function of closing / opening the drainage. When replacing the filter cotton, the drainage function can be closed to prevent floating oil from being discharged into the water collection well.
