[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 A recovery device for high-viscosity lubricants includes an installation platform 1, a screw pump 5, a collection mechanism 6, and a filtration and storage mechanism 7. The collection mechanism 6, screw pump 5, and filtration and storage mechanism 7 are sequentially installed on the installation platform 1. The collection mechanism 6 includes a collection box 601, with an inlet 602 fixedly provided on the top of the collection box 601. A filter screen 603 is detachably installed inside the collection box 601 and below the inlet 602. A discharge pipe 604 is provided at the bottom of the collection box 601 and is connected to the feed end of the screw pump 5. A heating pipe 605 is provided on the inner wall of the collection box 601. This structural design allows the high-viscosity lubricant to pass through the collection, transportation, and filtration and storage stages in sequence. The collection box 601 can collect the lubricant in a concentrated manner, the filter screen 603 can initially remove large impurities, and the heating pipe 605 can reduce the viscosity of the lubricant for subsequent transportation.

[0024] The mounting platform 1 is equipped with casters 2 at the four corners of its bottom, and a handrail 3 is fixed to the side of the mounting platform 1. The discharge end of the collecting mechanism 6 is connected to the inlet end of the screw pump 5, and the discharge end of the screw pump 5 is connected to the inlet end of the filtering and storage mechanism 7. The screw pump 5 is mounted on the mounting platform 1 through a fixed seat 4. The fixed seat 4 is welded to the mounting platform 1 to ensure the screw pump 5 is fixedly installed. The casters 2 and the handrail 3 facilitate the flexible movement of the device to different working locations. The stable installation of the screw pump 5 by the fixed seat 4 ensures the stability of the conveying process. The connection method of each component ensures that the lubricant can flow in an orderly manner.

[0025] The heating element 605 is an electric heating element, and the electric heating element is spirally and fixedly distributed on the inner wall of the collection box 601. The filter screen 603 of the collection box 601 is made of stainless steel. The spiral electric heating element can heat the lubricant in the collection box 601 more evenly, and the stainless steel filter screen 603 has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, which extends its service life.

[0026] Specifically, by setting up the collection mechanism 6, the high-viscosity lubricant can be initially intercepted and filtered using the filter screen 603 at the collection box 601 and the inlet 602, preventing large particles of impurities from entering subsequent stages. Combined with the spirally distributed heating tubes 605, the viscosity of the high-viscosity lubricant can be effectively reduced, and its fluidity can be improved. This solves the problem that the high-viscosity lubricant is difficult to collect in the initial stage of recycling due to its poor fluidity. At the same time, the application of the screw pump 5, with its characteristic of being suitable for conveying high-viscosity media, can stably deliver the pre-treated lubricant to the filtration and storage mechanism 7, reducing the risk of blockage caused by poor fluidity during the conveying process and ensuring a smooth recycling process.

[0027] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 and appendix Figure 5 The filtration and storage mechanism 7 includes a filter tank 701 and a storage tank 710. The top of the filter tank 701 is provided with a removable top cover 702. The top cover 702 is provided with a discharge pipe 703 that is connected to the discharge end of the screw pump 5. The filter tank 701 has two sets of vertically distributed sliding grooves 704 inside. A metal filter screen 705 and an activated carbon adsorption screen 706 are movably installed in the two sets of sliding grooves 704, respectively. The metal filter screen 705 is located above the activated carbon adsorption screen 706. The bottom of the filter tank 701 is connected to the storage tank 710 through a conduit 709. The removable top cover 702 facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the inside of the filter tank 701. The two sets of sliding grooves 704 make the installation and replacement of the metal filter screen 705 and the activated carbon adsorption screen 706 more convenient, thereby improving the filtration efficiency.

[0028] A mounting ring 707 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the filter tank 701, and a support base 708 is fixedly installed between the mounting ring 707 and the mounting platform 1. The storage tank 710 is provided with a liquid level display window 711 for observing the liquid level of the lubricant in the tank. A discharge valve is provided at the bottom of one side of the storage tank 710 for discharging the recovered lubricant. The mounting ring 707 and the support base 708 work together to provide stable support for the filter tank 701. The liquid level display window 711 allows operators to know the amount of lubricant stored in the storage tank 710 in a timely manner, and the discharge valve facilitates the control of the discharge of lubricant.

[0029] The activated carbon adsorption mesh 706 is filled with columnar activated carbon, and both the metal filter mesh 705 and the activated carbon adsorption mesh 706 can be pulled out along the slide groove 704. The columnar activated carbon filled activated carbon adsorption mesh 706 can enhance the adsorption effect on fine impurities and odors. The design of the metal filter mesh 705 and the activated carbon adsorption mesh 706 being removable makes it easy to clean regularly to ensure the filtration effect.

[0030] Specifically, by setting up a filtration and storage mechanism 7, a multi-stage filtration structure is formed in the filter tank 701 by a metal filter screen 705 and an activated carbon adsorption screen 706 installed in the slide 704. The metal filter screen 705 first intercepts larger impurities, while the activated carbon adsorption screen 706 deeply purifies fine impurities and odors, improving the quality of the recovered lubricant. The storage tank 710 is equipped with a liquid level display window 711 and a discharge valve, which facilitates real-time monitoring of the storage volume and precise control of the discharge. The entire device, from collection and transportation to filtration and storage, constructs a complete recovery system adapted to the characteristics of high-viscosity lubricants, effectively solving problems such as low efficiency of manual collection, easy clogging of existing devices, and incomplete recovery.

[0031] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model is a recovery device for high-viscosity lubricants. The high-viscosity lubricant enters the collection box 601 of the collection mechanism 6 through the inlet 602. It is first initially filtered by the filter screen 603 below the inlet 602 to intercept large particulate impurities. Then, the heating tubes 605 arranged in a spiral pattern on the inner wall of the collection box 601 heat the lubricant to reduce its viscosity and improve its fluidity. The lubricant that has undergone preliminary treatment enters the screw pump 5 through the outlet pipe 604 at the bottom of the collection box 601, and is stably transported by the screw pump 5. The lubricant is first filtered again by a metal filter screen 705 installed in the filter storage mechanism 7 via a chute 704 to intercept larger impurities. Then, an activated carbon adsorption screen 706 performs deep purification, adsorbing fine impurities and odors. The purified lubricant flows into the storage tank 710 through a conduit 709. The operator can monitor the storage level in real time through the liquid level display window 711. When needed, the lubricant is discharged through the discharge valve at the bottom of one side of the storage tank 710, completing the entire recycling process. At this point, the entire process ends.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
