Description

  The present invention relates to a surface active effect enhancing device for preventing deterioration of lubricating oil.

  The fact that many surfactants such as antioxidants and additives such as viscosity index improvers are added to lubricating oils to provide various functions The relationship is strong.

In addition, although it is an exception, tourmaline, which is supposed to generate a small amount of negative ions by having an electrode, for example, a powder of tourmaline is used as a lubricant for preventing deterioration of lubricating oil (see, for example, Patent Document).
JP 2003-336086 A

  The problem of maintaining the function of the lubricating oil was that the lubricating oil was changed every certain period of time, maintaining the performance of the lubricating oil and only preventing its deterioration. However, there is still a problem of maintenance and replacement of the filter even in the case of the oil filter, and if the use of the oil is continuous day and night, lubrication is possible. The frequency of oil change is further increased and the running cost is greatly affected.

In addition, the measures for preventing deterioration of lubricating oil using tourmaline and the like shown in the patent literature are effective in the initial stage of use, but the number of negative ions generated from tourmaline is originally a few hundreds / Since a large amount of negative ions is required for use because of cm ³ , a considerable amount of tourmaline must be used. In addition, the increase in impurities due to sludge of lubricating oil during long-term use causes the impurities Since it is fine, it starts to adhere to the surface of the tourmaline, and the electrode polarity of the tourmaline itself does not work and has no effect, but it may be a useless thing attached to the lubricating oil tank. This tourmaline has to be replaced from time to time, and many problems remain in terms of cost effectiveness.

  As a result of various studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention can prevent the deterioration of the lubricating oil more strongly, and in order to further extend the replacement frequency and reduce the economic burden, the basic molecular components of the lubricating oil We focused on reducing the oxidation of hydrocarbons and enhancing the reduction action while enhancing the surface activity.

Oxidation means removal of an electron from an atom or atomic group, and reduction means addition of an electron to an atom or atomic group. Therefore, a hydroxyl ion having an electron with excellent reduction action and high safety ( H ₃ O ₂ ) was stably brought into continuous contact with the lubricating oil at a high concentration, and a simple device characterized by focusing on the development of a countermeasure for preventing the deterioration of lubricating oil over time has been completed. It was.

  That is, the present invention installs a high-voltage withstand voltage wire tip discharge part connected to the high-voltage (around minus DC 7000 V) power supply device high-voltage output side in the middle of the flow path of pressurized air, The high-voltage electrons that are continuously generated stably from the discharge part are discharged and hydroxyl ionized to contact and mix with the circulating air in the flow path, and the mixed air is used as the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil container using a bubble generator or the like. The present invention provides a device characterized by contacting.

  The present invention also uses a generally used high-voltage withstand voltage single copper wire (single copper wire diameter of about 1 mm) made of a highly insulating silicon resin film having a known wall thickness of 1 mm or more, and the high voltage withstand voltage of the silicon resin. An electric wire with a tip of a single copper wire pointed like a needle is connected to the high voltage output side of a high voltage (around minus 7000 VDC) power supply unit, and a discharge-type hydroxyl ion generating and mixing container with a mixed gas flow path of any length The fact that the discharge-type hydroxyl ion generating part can be installed inside has been solved by the fact that it can also be installed in a lubricating oil accessory device of a complicated apparatus.

In the present invention, when the high voltage electron discharge part and the air come into contact with each other by the electric force, the air also contains moisture, so that the reaction occurs instantaneously, the water causes electrolysis, and the water molecules (H ₂ O) are hydrogen ions ( H +) and hydroxide ions (OH-) are ionized (separated), so hydrogen ions are attracted to the negative electrode of water molecules and combined with electrons (e-) emitted from the electrode to disappear as hydrogen gas. To do. That is, toward the weak alkali, on the other hand, the hydroxide ion binds to the surrounding water molecule to form a hydroxyl ion (H3O2￣), a combined ion of water molecules H2O and OH￣. Since the ions are charged with a high negative charge, it is necessary to remove the impurities adhering to the base oil component and to have a device utilizing the effect of decomposing and purifying impurities in the lubricating oil and the like.

It is possible to generate stable and continuous high-concentration hydroxyl ions with the ability to form an interface using electricity and the reduction action to prevent oxidation, and the high-concentration hydroxyl ions with excellent surface activity and reduction action ( The mixed air with H ₃ O ₂ ) has an effect of preventing the deterioration of the lubricating oil more than the conventional method by contacting the lubricating oil.
