[0024] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there are two gate valves 2 and two gate valves 3. The two gate valves 3 are respectively located near the medium outlet N2 and the medium inlet N1 of the medium pipeline. At least one flange reserved port 14 is provided on the medium pipeline.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fourth spring ball valve 11 is connected to the pump body 13, and the pump body 13 is connected to the return port of the liquid storage tank body 1 through a branch pipe and a medium pipeline. A one-way valve 15 and a fifth spring ball valve 16 are respectively provided on the branch pipe at intervals.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the quality inspection tank 9 is equipped with a flap level gauge, the bottom of the quality inspection tank 9 is equipped with an anti-vortex device, the top of the quality inspection tank 9 is connected to the outlet end pipeline of the closed-circuit sampler 5, and the quality inspection tank 9 is connected to the inlet of the pump body 13 through a one-way valve 15.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the ratio of the maximum diameter of the anti-vortex device to the inner diameter of the quality inspection tank 9 is 1:1.5-1:2.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, an anti-vortex device is installed at the bottom of the quality inspection tank, which is connected to the pump inlet. This allows unqualified oil to be decontaminated in the oil tank, while qualified oil is returned to the storage tank, reducing waste.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sewage discharge pipeline is further included. One end of the sewage discharge pipeline is connected through a pipeline between the third spring ball valve 10 and the fourth spring ball valve 11.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the closed-circuit sampler 5 is a transparent glass container.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Gate valve 3 and stop valve 2 are normally open valves. During operation, the second self-returning spring ball valve 7 is opened, allowing the liquid at the bottom of the storage tank to enter the quality inspection tank 9. After the liquid in the original pipeline is completely replaced, the second self-returning spring ball valve 7 is closed, and the first self-returning spring ball valve 6 is opened, allowing fresh liquid in the main body 1 of the liquid storage tank to flow into the closed-circuit sampler 5. The closed-circuit sampler 5 is made of transparent glass, allowing observation of the state of the fresh liquid flowing into the closed-circuit sampler 5, thereby determining whether the appearance of the medium meets the requirements. After the determination is completed, the liquid in the closed-circuit sampler is discharged into the quality inspection tank 9. When the liquid in the quality inspection tank 9 reaches the upper limit of its volume, the pump body 13 can be started to discharge the unclean liquid at the bottom through the medium outlet N2, and the qualified liquid medium at the top is discharged through the medium inlet N1.
