[0032] Currently, used lubricating oil is usually stored in waste oil drums. The lubricating oil stored in the waste oil drums will be disposed of and discharged in a later stage to avoid environmental pollution from used lubricating oil.
[0033] However, disposing of used lubricating oil directly leads to higher lubrication costs for knitting machinery. Furthermore, the practice of storing lubricating oil in waste oil containers until a certain amount is accumulated before disposal results in long-term accumulation of lubricating oil, which can negatively impact the cleanliness of the work area.
[0034] To address this problem, this invention provides a lubricating oil treatment device. This device can process lubricating oil to obtain reusable lubricating oil, which can be reused on mechanical equipment, thereby saving on the purchase of new oil and reducing lubrication costs. Furthermore, it can also treat waste lubricating oil, making it more environmentally friendly.
[0035] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 This utility model embodiment provides a lubricating oil treatment device, which may include: a lubricating oil conveying module 11 and a treatment module 12. Wherein:
[0037] The lubricating oil delivery module 11 is used to deliver the lubricating oil to be processed;
[0038] The processing module 12 is connected to the lubricating oil delivery module 11 and is used to process the lubricating oil delivered by the lubricating oil delivery module 11 to obtain reusable lubricating oil.
[0039] By setting up the processing module 12, the lubricating oil processed by the processing module 12 can be reused, that is, it can be reused without waste disposal. Thus, while processing waste lubricating oil, reusable lubricating oil can be obtained, thereby reducing the impact of lubricating oil storage on site cleanliness, saving on the purchase of new oil, and reducing lubrication costs.
[0040] In specific implementations, the lubricating oil may include, but is not limited to, knitting oil, or other lubricating oils.
[0041] In a specific implementation, the lubricating oil delivery module 11 may include a main oil pump. One end of the main oil pump receives the lubricating oil to be processed through a pipeline, and the other end of the main oil pump is connected to the processing module 12 through a pipeline, thereby delivering the lubricating oil to be processed to the processing module 12 for processing.
[0042] In specific implementation, the processing module 12 can process the lubricating oil delivered by the lubricating oil delivery module 11 in various ways, and no restrictions are imposed here.
[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 The processing module 12 may include: a pre-processing submodule 121, an additive delivery submodule 122, and a mixing submodule 123. Wherein:
[0044] The pre-processing submodule 121 is connected to the lubricating oil delivery module 11 and is used to pre-process the lubricating oil delivered by the lubricating oil delivery module 11 to obtain processed lubricating oil.
[0045] The additive delivery submodule 122 is used to deliver the additives required for the lubricating oil to be treated.
[0046] The mixing submodule 123 is connected to the pretreatment submodule 121 and the additive delivery submodule 122, and is used to mix the processed lubricating oil and the additives required for the lubricating oil to be processed to obtain reusable lubricating oil.
[0047] In practical implementation, the lubricating oil obtained through the pre-processing submodule 121 is the color and state before it is used in the mechanical equipment. For example, if the knitting oil not used in the knitting machine is a colorless and transparent lubricating oil, after processing by the pre-processing submodule 121, a colorless and transparent knitting oil lubricating oil can be obtained.
[0048] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 The pretreatment submodule 121 may include: a filtration structure 1211, a dehydration structure 1212, and a decolorization structure 1213. Wherein:
[0049] The filter structure 1211 is used to filter the lubricating oil delivered by the lubricating oil delivery module.
[0050] The dehydration structure 1212 is connected to the filter structure 1211 and is used to dehydrate the filtered lubricating oil.
[0051] The decolorizing structure 1213 is connected to the dehydrating structure 1212 and is used to decolorize the dehydrated lubricating oil.
[0052] Specifically, the filtration structure 1211, dehydration structure 1212, and decolorization structure 1213 are sequentially arranged along the lubricating oil flow path in the pretreatment submodule 121. The filtration structure 1211 may include a filter screen. The material and mesh diameter of the filter screen can be set according to actual conditions, and it can filter out debris such as lint, silk, and yarn from the lubricating oil to be treated. The dehydration structure 1212 may include water-absorbing materials such as silica gel or molecular sieves, thereby adsorbing moisture from the filtered lubricating oil. The decolorization structure 1213 may include materials such as activated carbon that can adsorb color from the lubricating oil, thereby adsorbing pigments caused by oil aging, impurity contamination, or oxidation.
[0053] After passing through the filtration structure 1211, dehydration structure 1212, and decolorization structure 1213, a lubricating oil free of impurities and with low moisture content can be obtained. Under normal circumstances, the moisture content of the lubricating oil output by the decolorization structure 1213 is no higher than 0.1%.
[0054] In practical implementation, the additive delivery submodule 122 is used to deliver the additives required for the lubricating oil to be treated. Different lubricating oils require different additives. Generally, when the lubricating oil to be treated is determined, the required additives are also determined, that is, the amount of additives lacking after the lubricating oil lubricates the corresponding mechanical equipment is determined. By delivering additives to the lubricating oil after processing by the preprocessing submodule 121, the performance of the final lubricating oil can be guaranteed, so that the final lubricating oil can be reused.
[0055] Taking the knitting oil as an example, the required additives can typically include anti-wear agents, extreme pressure agents, antioxidants, rust inhibitors, emulsifiers, etc.
[0056] In a specific implementation, the additive delivery submodule 122 may include a metering pump, which can deliver the corresponding additive to the mixing submodule 123 after startup.
[0057] In some embodiments, the additives delivered by the additive delivery submodule 122 can be mixed with the lubricating oil processed by the pretreatment submodule 121 before entering the mixing submodule 123, thereby further increasing the uniformity of the mixture.
[0058] In a specific implementation, the mixing submodule 123 is connected to the pretreatment submodule 121 via a first pipe. The output end of the additive delivery submodule 122 can be connected to the first pipe, so that the additive delivered by the additive delivery submodule 122 can be mixed with the lubricating oil processed by the pretreatment submodule 121 before entering the mixing submodule 123.
[0059] In a specific implementation, the mixing submodule 123 can be implemented using a static mixer. This static mixer provides a mixing path of a certain length and does not perform active mixing operations such as stirring the input additives and lubricating oil. The input additives and lubricating oil are output after passing through this mixing path, which is the obtained reusable lubricating oil.
[0060] To improve the convenience of lubricant handling, refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the lubricating oil treatment equipment may further include a housing 13. The lubricating oil delivery module 11 and the treatment module (including a pretreatment submodule 121, an additive delivery submodule 122, and a mixing submodule 123) are all located within the housing 13.
[0061] In a specific implementation, the housing 13 has a receiving cavity, within which the lubricating oil delivery module 11, the pretreatment submodule 121, the additive delivery submodule 122, and the mixing submodule 123 are located. The housing 13 can be made of materials such as plastic, and its shape and size can be set according to actual needs. A handle can be provided on one side of the housing 13, making the lubricating oil treatment equipment more convenient to carry.
[0062] In some embodiments, the lubricating oil treatment device may further include a rotating wheel 14. The rotating wheel 14 may be disposed on the side of the housing opposite to the hand handle. When an external force is applied to the housing 13, the lubricating oil treatment device can be conveniently pushed back and forth or rotated by means of the rotating wheel 14.
[0063] In practice, the operation of the lubricating oil treatment equipment can be manually controlled.
[0064] Specifically, the power of the lubricating oil delivery module 11 can be fixed, and a switch button can be provided on the lubricating oil delivery module 11. The lubricating oil delivery module 11 can be started by manually operating the switch button. Similarly, a switch button can also be provided on the pretreatment submodule 121, which can be operated manually. The corresponding additive can be manually selected, and the selected additive is mixed with the pretreated lubricating oil using the additive delivery submodule 122. A switch button can also be provided on the mixing submodule 123, which can be operated manually.
[0065] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 To improve the convenience of lubricating oil processing, the lubricating oil processing equipment may further include a control module 15. This control module 15 can be connected to the lubricating oil delivery module 11 and the processing module to control the operation of each module. This enables automated control of the lubricating oil processing.
[0066] Specifically, the control module 15 can receive user commands and control the operation of the lubricating oil delivery module 11, the pretreatment submodule 121, the additive delivery submodule 122, and the mixing submodule 123 based on these commands. In practical applications, the control module can not only control the start-up of the lubricating oil delivery module 11 but also control its power. This allows the power of the lubricating oil delivery module 11 to be adjusted based on the amount of lubricating oil to be processed, thereby improving processing efficiency. The control module can control the additive delivery submodule 122 to select the corresponding additive and control the amount of additive added. The control module can also control the operation of the mixing submodule 123 to mix the pretreated lubricating oil and additives.
[0067] In practical implementation, a control panel can be installed on the housing 13, allowing users to input user commands by operating the control panel. User commands can also be sent to the control module 15 via remote communication.
[0068] In one embodiment of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 The control module 15 may further include: a detection submodule 151, a determination submodule 152, and an additive control submodule 153. Wherein:
[0069] The detection submodule 151 is used to detect the chemical composition of the lubricating oil to be processed;
[0070] The determining submodule 152, connected to the detecting submodule 151, is used to determine the required additives based on the chemical composition of the lubricating oil to be treated.
[0071] The additive control submodule 153 is connected to the determination submodule 152 and is used to control the additive delivery module to deliver the determined additive.
[0072] Specifically, the detection submodule 151 can perform chemical composition detection on the lubricating oil to be processed delivered by the lubricating oil delivery module 11 to determine the specific chemical composition of the lubricating oil to be processed. Different chemical compositions of lubricating oil correspond to different additives. The determination submodule 152 can store the correspondence between additives and lubricating oils with different chemical compositions. After the chemical composition of the lubricating oil is detected, the corresponding additive can be determined based on the correspondence. Then, the additive control submodule 153 sends a control signal to the additive delivery module to control the additive delivery module to deliver the corresponding additive according to the required amount.
[0073] In some embodiments, the lubricating oil treatment equipment may further include an additive container for holding the corresponding additives. The additive container may be placed outside the housing 13 of the lubricating oil treatment equipment; if the housing 13 has sufficient volume, the additive container may be placed inside the housing 13, thereby facilitating portability and further improving lubricating oil treatment efficiency.
[0074] The same additive container can have multiple additive holding spaces. Different additive holding spaces are used to hold different additives, thus meeting the needs of lubricating oils with various chemical compositions.
[0075] In some embodiments, the lubricating oil treatment equipment may further include: a lubricating oil delivery pipeline and an additive delivery pipeline; the lubricating oil delivery pipeline is detachably connected to the lubricating oil delivery module, and the additive delivery pipeline is detachably connected to the additive delivery module.
[0076] Specifically, when not in use, the lubricating oil delivery pipeline can be detached from the lubricating oil delivery module and placed in the unused space within the housing 13. The additive delivery pipeline can also be detached from the additive delivery submodule and placed in the unused space within the housing 13. When lubricating oil needs to be processed, one end of the lubricating oil delivery pipeline can be connected to the lubricating oil delivery module, and the other end placed in the lubricating oil storage container. Similarly, one end of the additive delivery pipeline can be connected to the additive delivery submodule, and the other end placed in the additive container. Activating these modules then allows for the processing of the lubricating oil.
[0077] The lubricating oil treatment equipment described in this embodiment can be a portable device including a housing, allowing for lubricating oil treatment at any time while the lubricating oil is stored, thus improving the convenience of lubricating oil treatment and reducing the impact of lubricating oil storage on site cleanliness. Furthermore, this lubricating oil treatment equipment can appropriately add additives after pretreatment of the lubricating oil, enabling the final lubricating oil to be reused while ensuring its performance. While achieving lubricating oil treatment, it also saves energy and reduces costs, decreases waste oil generation, thereby reducing carbon emissions and costs associated with waste oil treatment, minimizing the environmental impact of waste oil, and achieving green and sustainable development.
[0078] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
