The oil-gas treatment system according to claim 1 , wherein the first oil-gas delivery device is configured to spray the oil-gas onto a liquid surface of the lubrication oil in the lubrication oil box, or the first oil-gas delivery device is configured to spray the oil-gas onto an inner wall of the lubrication oil box, or a block structure is inside the lubrication oil box, and the first oil-gas delivery device is configured to spray the oil-gas onto the block structure. 3. The oil-gas treatment system according to claim 2 , wherein the first oil-gas delivery device has an outlet inside the lubrication oil box and spaced apart from the lubrication oil. 4. The oil-gas treatment system according to claim 3 , wherein the outlet of the first oil-gas delivery device has a wedge-shaped opening, the wedge-shaped opening is toward the liquid surface of the lubrication oil or the block structure or the inner wall of the lubrication oil box, and the oil-gas is sprayed into the lubrication oil box through the wedge-shaped opening. 5. The oil-gas treatment system according to claim 4 , further comprising: a grid structure which is at the wedge-shaped opening, comprises a plurality of mesh holes, and is configured to allow the oil-gas to be sprayed from the first oil-gas delivery device onto the liquid surface of the lubrication oil or the block structure or the inner wall of the lubrication oil box through the plurality of mesh holes. 6. The oil-gas treatment system according to claim 1 , wherein the oil-gas is directly conveyed to the lubrication oil box from the oil-gas generation device through the first oil-gas delivery device. 7. The oil-gas treatment system according to claim 1 , further comprising: an oil delivery device configured to convey an oil product, separated by sub oil-gas separation device(s) of the plurality of sub oil-gas separation devices except for the lubrication oil box, into the lubrication oil box. 8. The oil-gas treatment system according to claim 1 , further comprising: a bottom lubrication oil box at a bottom of the oil-gas generation device and configured to lubricate the oil-gas generation device; and a bottom oil delivery device configured to convey an oil product, separated by sub oil-gas separation device(s) of the plurality of sub oil-gas separation devices except for the lubrication oil box, into the bottom lubrication oil box. 9. The oil-gas treatment system according to claim 8 , wherein when the oil-gas generation device is in an operation state, an air pressure in the bottom lubrication oil box is greater than atmospheric pressure; when the oil-gas generation device is not in an operation state, the air pressure in the bottom lubrication oil box is basically equal to the atmospheric pressure; the bottom oil delivery device is a one-way oil delivery device and comprises: a bottom oil delivery pipe configured to collect and convey the oil product; and a one-way valve which is in the bottom oil delivery pipe and is configured to allow the bottom oil delivery pipe to be one-way conductive when the oil-gas generation device is not in the operation state, to control the oil product to be conveyed to the bottom lubrication oil box from the sub oil-gas separation device(s) of the plurality of sub oil-gas separation devices except for the lubrication oil box through the one-way valve and not to allow lubrication oil in the bottom lubrication oil box to be conveyed toward the sub oil-gas separation device(s) of the plurality of sub oil-gas separation devices except for the lubrication oil box through the one-way valve. 10. The oil-gas treatment system according to claim 9 , wherein the sub oil-gas separation device(s) of the plurality of sub oil-gas separation devices except for the lubrication oil box is (are) at a higher location in a direction of gravity than the bottom lubrication oil box. 11. The oil-gas treatment system according to claim 1 , wherein the sub oil-gas separation device(s) of the plurality of sub oil-gas separation devices except for the lubrication oil box comprise(s): a condensation device configured to liquefying oil in the oil-gas. 12.
