Apparatus for mixing and proportioning oil and water

Abstract

An apparatus for mixing and proportioning oil and water comprises an upper lid, a first chunk member, a holder, a second chunk member and a base. The first chunk member and second chunk member have respectively an oil inlet, an oil-water mixture outlet and a water outlet that are connected with one another to receive and discharge oil and water. The first and second chunk members have respectively two oil flow gears and two water flow gears that engage with each other to control oil and water entering ratio to achieve optimal combustion efficiency. In the base, a located water regulation valve is adjusted to buffer water intake ratio responding to internal pressure alterations. The water regulation valve forms a buffer passage allowing different ratios of water to flow to the water in/out passage so that an improved oil-water mixture is achieved to enhance combustion efficiency of the combustion system.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A apparatus for mixing and proportioning oil and water, comprising:
 an upper lid;   a first chunk member which includes a top wedged in by the upper lid and an oil inlet at one side connecting to an oil intake passage and an oil-water mixture outlet at another side connecting to an oil-water mixture passage and a first gear chamber communicating with the oil intake passage and the oil-water mixture passage, the first gear chamber having an oil intake/discharge passage linking to the oil inlet and the oil-water mixture outlet, the oil intake passage being connected to a first vertical passage below, the oil-water mixture passage being connected to a second vertical passage below, the second vertical passage holding a water discharge duct, the first gear chamber containing a first arched recess and a second arched recess respectively at a front end and a rear end thereof, and a first elongate recess and a second elongate recess respectively at a left end and a right end thereof that are communicate with one another, the first and second arched recesses holding respectively a first oil flow gear and a second oil flow gear that are coupled respectively on a first axle and a second axle and engage with each other for rotating in opposite directions, the first oil flow gear and the second oil flow gear forming a gap therebetween to control oil flow at an amount of a constant ratio at the same time, the first oil flow gear being movably coupled on the first axle, the second oil flow gear being fixedly coupled on the second axle;   a holder which includes a top wedging in the first chunk member and a first hole and a second hole in the middle run through respectively by the first axle and the second axle, and a lubricant hole at one end communicating with the first vertical passage and a water discharge passage at another end communicating with the oil-water mixture passage;   a second chunk member which is wedged in by the holder and includes a water inlet at one side connecting to a water intake passage and a water outlet at another side connecting to a water exit passage and a second gear chamber communicating with the water intake passages and the water exit passage, the second gear chamber having a water in/out passage connecting to the water inlet and the water outlet, the water intake passage communicating with a vertical first water passage below, the water exit passage being interposed vertically by a second water passage and a third water passage at an upper side and a lower side of the second gear chamber, the second gear chamber further including a first arched recess and a second arched recess at a front end and a rear end, and a first elongate recess and a second elongate recess at a left end and a right end that communicate with one another, the first and second arched recesses holding respectively a first water flow gear and a second water flow gear that are coupled respectively on the first axle and the second axle and engage with each other for rotating in opposite directions, the second water flow gear and the second oil flow gear being fixedly coupled to rotate synchronously to drive the first water flow gear to rotate, the first and second water flow gears forming another gap therebetween to control water flow amount at a constant ratio at the same time; and   a base which is located beneath the second chunk member and contains a water feedback passage vertically connecting to the first water passage and the third water passage, the water feedback passage holding a vertical water regulation valve in the middle to buffer water intake ratio in response to internal pressure alterations, the water regulation valve forming a buffer passage to allow a portion of water flowing back to the water in/out passage through the water feedback passage to supply water amount at varying ratios.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the upper lid contains a plurality of fastening holes on the top thereof and a coupling boss extended from the bottom; the first chunk member including a first upper recess at the top wedged in by the coupling boss of the upper lid and a first lower recess at the bottom, and a plurality of fixing holes surrounding the first upper and lower recesses; the holder including an upper coupling boss and a lower coupling boss at the top and bottom of the holder, the upper coupling boss wedging in the first lower recess of the first chunk member, the holder further containing a plurality of screw holes surrounding the upper and lower coupling bosses to fasten to the upper lid and the first chunk member through a plurality of fastening elements; the second chunk member containing a second upper recess at the top wedged in by the lower coupling boss of the holder and a second lower recess at the bottom, and a plurality of fastening holes surrounding the second upper and lower recesses; the base containing a coupling boss at the top to wedge in the second lower recess of the second chunk member and a plurality of apertures surrounding the coupling boss to receive fastening elements to fasten to the second chunk member. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further including an electric heating pipe to heat the oil to a fluid state to facilitate machine start. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the water discharge duct includes an upper duct and a lower duct that contain an inner hole, the upper duct containing a water outlet on one side communicating with the inner hole, the lower duct containing a water inlet on another side communicating with the inner hole and an aperture at the bottom thereof. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the water discharge passage includes a distal end holding a check valve to block the second water passage of the water exit passage to prevent oil from entering the second water passage when the apparatus stops operation. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second oil flow gears and the first and second water flow gears are connected to an external sensor to detect oil and water flow amount through rotation numbers. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second hole holds a wear-resistant sleeve run through by the second axle. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second water flow gears are formed at a thickness one third of the first and second oil flow gears to facilitate measurement of water flow amount and oil flow amount.
