ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an oil collector blower, more particularly to an oil separator for an oil collector blower that can positively separate oil and air generated during processing of machine tools, such as CNC lathes, milling machines, grinding machines, and the like.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
The structure of a conventional blower is shown in FIG.
1
. It mainly includes a housing
11
, a motor having a rotary shaft passing through the housing
11
to lockably secure vanes
12
, a cover
14
lockably provided at a front opening of the housing
11
, a seal ring
15
, a metal mesh
16
, and a connecting tube element
17
. When the motor
13
is actuated and the vanes
12
are rotated, oil vapors and exhaust are quickly induced via an inlet hole
171
of the connecting tube element
17
. The fast current of oil-containing air is guided by outlet
111
to be blown out via a discharge hole
112
. As the oil is not separated from the air, the oil vapors and the exhaust will pollute the environment, in particular the operators of the machines. Improvements are therefore necessary.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A primary object of the present invention is to provide an oil separator for an oil collector blower, which can positively separate the oil and air in oil vapors and exhaust generated during processing of machine tools to achieve multiple filtration to thereby allow recycling of oil and discharge of cleaner air, thus preventing environmental pollution
The foregoing objects and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts. Many other advantages and features of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.
