Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of crankcase vent caps for marine main diesel engines, and in particular to a novel structure for crankcase vent caps for marine main diesel engines. Background Technology

[0002] The crankcase vent cap of a marine main diesel engine is a critical component ensuring the normal operation of the engine. Its core function is to expel the oil-gas mixture from the crankcase, achieving internal ventilation and preventing oil mist explosions, thus ensuring the stability and safety of crankcase operation. Existing marine vent cap designs lack effective oil-gas collection and protection mechanisms. When the oil-gas mixture is discharged, it diffuses directly into the atmosphere, and the resulting oil sludge easily adheres to the deck surface near the vent. This not only increases the risk of slippery decks and falls but also poses a fire hazard due to oil accumulation. Furthermore, the dispersed oil sludge makes deck cleaning difficult, significantly increasing the daily maintenance workload for crew members. In addition, existing vent caps lack dedicated rain and snow protection structures. In rainy or snowy weather, moisture directly contacts the vent cap body, accelerating corrosion and aging, shortening its service life, and increasing the cost of equipment replacement and maintenance. Therefore, an improved vent cap solution is needed that solves the problems of oil sludge dispersion, reduces cleaning difficulty, and prevents component corrosion. To this end, we propose a novel vent cap structure for marine main diesel engine crankcases. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a novel crankcase vent cap structure for marine main diesel engines, which can solve the technical problems mentioned in the background.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel crankcase vent cap structure for a marine main diesel engine, comprising an oil collection plate A, an outer protective cover above the oil collection plate A, support rods fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the lower surface of the outer protective cover, the oil collection plate A and the outer protective cover being fixedly connected by the support rods, an oil collection plate B below the oil collection plate A, a support rod fixedly connected to the middle position of the lower surface of the oil collection plate B, a four-point ball valve provided on one side of the lower surface of the oil collection plate B, an oil collection plate fixedly connected inside the oil collection plate B, connecting blocks B fixedly connected to both ends of the oil collection plate B, connecting blocks A fixedly connected to both ends of the oil collection plate A, a connecting bolt provided at one end of the connecting block A, a baffle rotatably connected to one end of the connecting bolt, and a base rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting bolt, with the base rotatably connected to the connecting block A.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects that this utility model can achieve are: 1. The oil collection pan collects oil sludge from the oil-gas mixture, preventing oil sludge from drifting onto the deck and completely eliminating safety hazards such as slipping and fire caused by oil sludge, ensuring the safety of ship navigation and deck operations; at the same time, the collected oil sludge can be conveniently discharged through the drain valve, greatly reducing the frequency and workload of deck cleaning, while the rainproof and snowproof outer cover design delays the corrosion of components, reducing the frequency of equipment replacement and maintenance costs.

The oil collection tray A1 and the outer protective cover 3 are fixedly connected by the support rods 2. An oil collection tray B8 is installed below the oil collection tray A1. A support rod 7 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the lower surface of the oil collection tray B8. A four-point ball valve 5 is installed on one side of the lower surface of the oil collection tray B8. An oil collection plate 9 is fixedly connected inside the oil collection tray B8. Connecting blocks B13 are fixedly connected to both ends of the oil collection tray B8. Connecting blocks A10 are fixedly connected to both ends of the oil collection tray A1. A connecting bolt 4 is installed at one end of the connecting bolt 4. A baffle 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting bolt 4. A base 11 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting bolt 4, and the base 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting block A10.

[0014] Specifically, a sleeve 6 is provided at one end of the outer surface of the 1 / 4 ball valve 5. A base plate 16 is provided at the top of the sleeve 6, and the base plate 16 is fixedly connected to the 1 / 4 ball valve 5. Slide grooves 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower surface of the base plate 16. A slider 14 is provided inside the slide groove 17, and the slider 14 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 6. A spring 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 14, and the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the base plate 16. A threaded rod 19 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the lower surface of the base plate 16. A gear 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 19. The outer surface of the threaded rod 19 is provided with... A collar 18 is fixedly connected to an outer sleeve 6. One end of a four-point ball valve 5 is rotatably connected to a cleaning wheel 22. A cleaning rod 21 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the upper surface of the cleaning wheel 22. A circular hole is provided on the upper surface of a baffle 12. Threaded grooves are provided on the inner wall of the circular hole and the outer surface of the connecting bolt 4. The baffle 12 and the connecting bolt 4 mesh with each other. Threaded grooves are provided on the inner wall of the collar 18 and the outer surface of the threaded rod 19. A gear 20 meshes with the cleaning wheel 22. The cleaning wheel 22 is a hollow cylinder, and a protrusion is provided on the inner side of the upper surface of the cleaning wheel 22.

[0015] The workflow of this utility model is as follows: This device is fitted onto the outside of the crankcase vent of the main diesel engine. The oil-gas mixture discharged from the crankcase is blocked by the outer cover 3 and falls into the oil collection trays A1 and B8. The collected oil is then discharged into a designated container periodically by opening the bottom four-point ball valve 5, completing the centralized treatment of the oil. The presence of oil collection trays A1 and B8 effectively prevents moisture from directly contacting the vent cap, avoiding corrosion. Moisture flowing from the surface of the outer cover 3 is discharged directly without affecting oil collection. When inspection or maintenance of the crankcase vent cap is required, the connecting bolt 4 is rotated to loosen the baffle 12 to the appropriate position. Then, the base 11 is used to rotate the baffle 12 and connect it to the connecting bolt. After removing the plug 4, remove the oil collection tray A1. Before regularly cleaning the internal oil stains, pull the outer sleeve 6. The outer sleeve 6 will drive the slider 14 to descend. At this time, the spring 15 is stretched, and the collar 18 follows. When the collar 18 descends, the threaded rod 19 will be driven to rotate, which will cause the gear 20 to rotate. At this time, the cleaning wheel 22 will also rotate. Finally, the cleaning rod 21 is used to clean the inner wall of the four-quarter ball valve 5. When the outer sleeve 6 is released, the spring 15 will drive the slider 14, the outer sleeve 6 and the collar 18 to rebound. The threaded rod 19 will rotate in the opposite direction, which will cause the gear 20 to drive the cleaning wheel 22 to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the cleaning rod 21 will clean the inner wall of the four-quarter ball valve 5 again to ensure that the four-quarter ball valve 5 is not blocked.
