Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate such a state that waste oil is dispersed to the outside of a waste oil receiver so as to make a circumstance dirty, and effectively execute waste oil recovering work, by elevatably arranging the waste oil receiver from a moving frame body which is freely moved in the longitudinal direction of a pit. SOLUTION: A pit 1 formed on the floor A of a work area, is arranged in this device, and a rail 2 is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the pit 1. A moving frame body 3 comprises a bottom plate part 3a and both side plate parts 3b provided adjacently to both side surfaces of the bottom plate part 3a. Then, a guide cylinder 5 is hung from the bottom plate part 3a and fixed thereto, an oil drain pipe 6 is elevatably inserted in the guide cylinder 5, and a waste oil receiver 7 which is formed into a vessel shape whose upper part is opened, is fixed at the upper end of the oil drainpipe 6 by fitting the upper end to the center penetrating hole of the bottom surface of the waste oil receiver 7. Also, vertical movement auxiliary means 8 is arranged for the waste oil receiver 7. This vertical movement auxiliary means 8 easily lifts and lowers the waste oil receiver 7 regardless of the self-weight of the waste oil receiver 7. Further, the waste oil receiver 7 is so formed that it can be set in the vicinity of the position of a waste oil drain opening for an automobile.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for recovering waste oil in inspection and repair of automobiles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a recovery device of this type, a pit in which a vehicle is stopped in the vehicle width direction and a pit extending on the inner surface at both upper sides in the width direction of the pit are provided so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the pit. A drain, an upper-open container-shaped waste oil receiver erected reciprocally along the rail, and an oil drainage system having a valve connected to an oil outlet formed in the lower part of the waste oil receiver. It has been known that an outlet of the oil drainage system is configured to be detachably connected to an inlet of a waste oil recovery system provided with a waste oil recovery pump for recovering waste oil to a waste oil recovery tank (actually, an actual oil discharge system). Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 6-400).

[0003]

According to this conventional collecting device, the waste oil receiver in the form of a container having an upper opening is installed on rails provided on the inner surfaces of both sides of the pit, and the waste oil receiver moves along the rail. Since there is a large gap between the lower surface of the vehicle body of the vehicle stopped so as to straddle the pit and the upper opening of the waste oil receiver, when drain oil such as engine oil is discharged, There is a problem that the waste oil does not flow down to the waste oil receiver immediately below due to the direction of the opening of the drain, the wind, or the like, but scatters to the side to contaminate the periphery.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem and to provide a simple waste oil recovery apparatus.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a pit which is stopped across the width of a vehicle, and longitudinally disposed on inner surfaces of both sides in the width direction of the opening of the pit. And a movable frame that is engaged with the rail and that is movable in the longitudinal direction, and a top-open container-shaped waste oil receiver that is provided on the movable frame so as to be able to move up and down.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0007] Reference numeral 1 denotes a pit formed on the floor A of the work place, and rails 2 are provided on the inner surfaces on both sides in the width direction of the opening of the pit 1 in the longitudinal direction of the pit 1.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a moving frame, which comprises a bottom plate 3a and two side plates 3b connected to both ends of the bottom plate 3a. And the rollers 4 are rotationally engaged in the rails 2 so that the moving frame 3 can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the pit 1.

A guide cylinder 5 is suspended from the bottom plate 3a, and an oil drainage pipe 6 is inserted into the guide cylinder 5 so as to be able to move up and down. It was fitted and fixed in the central through hole on the bottom surface.

Reference numeral 8 denotes an ascending / descending auxiliary means for the waste oil receiver 7.
The lifting / lowering assisting means 8 includes a coil spring 8a provided between the lower end of the guide cylinder 5 and an intermediate portion of the outer periphery of the oil drainage pipe 6, and a bottom plate 3a of the movable frame 3 from the lower surface of the waste oil receiver 7. Constant spring 8b
The lifting and lowering of the waste oil receiver 7 can be performed lightly despite the weight of the waste oil receiver 7. Incidentally, reference numeral 8c denotes the constant spring box.

Reference numeral 9 denotes first brake means, 10 denotes second brake means, and the first brake means 9 is provided on the bottom plate 3a.
The oil drain pipe 6 is pivotally mounted on the upper side, and is moved upward.
The second brake means 1
Numeral 0 is provided at the upper end of the side plate portion 3b of the moving frame 3 and is made of an advancing / retracting friction body that advances toward the roller 4 and presses the roller 4 to stop the rotation of the roller 4.
Further, a storage portion 11 for a tool or the like is formed on the bottom plate portion 3a of the movable frame 3 and between both side plate portions 3b.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a safety plate provided on the peripheral edge of the pit 1, 13 denotes a wire mesh installed in the waste oil receiver 7 for preventing foreign substances from being mixed in the waste oil and rebound of the waste oil, and 14 denotes a waste oil. The lighting fixture attached to the front and rear ends of the waste oil receiver 7 to illuminate the upper part to facilitate the work is shown.

Next, the use of the waste oil recovery apparatus of the above embodiment will be described.

After connecting the hose from the oil drain tank to the lower end opening of the oil drain pipe 6 in advance, the waste oil receiver 7 is placed in the movable frame 3 as shown by the solid lines in FIGS.

Then, the vehicle is moved to stop over the opening of the pit 1. Thereafter, the movable frame 3 is moved to a position immediately below the position of the drain of the waste oil of the automobile, the movable frame 3 is stopped by the second brake means 10, and then the waste oil receiver 7 is raised to near the opening of the drain.
This lifting can be performed lightly by the lifting assisting means 8. When the waste oil receiver 7 rises to a predetermined height, the first oil brake 9 stops the waste oil receiver 7.

In this state, even if the waste oil flows out from the drain, the waste oil does not scatter outside the waste oil receiver 7.

After the end of the waste oil spill, the first brake means 9
Release the brake action of, and lower the waste oil receiver 7,
When the braking action of the brake means 10 is released, the moving frame 3 is released.
To its original position.

The first brake means 9 and the second brake means 10 can use any method as long as the lifting and lowering of the waste oil receiver 7 can be stopped at an arbitrary position and the moving frame 3 can be stopped at an arbitrary position. You may.

The lifting assist means 8 may use any method such as a balance weight or an air cylinder other than the method used in the above-described embodiment.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the waste oil receiver is provided so as to be able to move up and down from the movable frame which is movable in the longitudinal direction of the pit, the waste oil receiver can be moved in accordance with the position of the drain opening of the waste oil of the automobile. The waste oil can be set in the vicinity, so that the waste oil does not scatter to the outside of the waste oil receiver and contaminate the surrounding area, and the waste oil recovery operation can be performed efficiently.
