Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an intelligent oiling device for a sintering machine. Background Art

[0002] For many years, sintering machine trolley wheels have been manually lubricated with grease while the machine is shut down. During the limited downtime for maintenance, the wheels often fail to receive effective lubrication. Furthermore, the grease in the wheels is depleted during these downtimes. Insufficient grease in the wheels shortens the bearing life and, in turn, affects the function of the wheels. If a wheel becomes stuck, the machine must be stopped and replaced immediately; otherwise, the overall operation of the sintering machine may be impacted.

[0003] Stopping the machine to replace a trolley affects the sintering machine's operating rate and sintered ore production, resulting in economic losses. Furthermore, replacing the trolley affects the material balance during the sintering process. The process of restoring the imbalance not only affects the quality of the sintered ore but also results in unnecessary energy loss. Automatic refueling systems for sintering machines can address these issues. Traditional automatic refueling systems cannot measure the amount of oil being refueled, and dry oil often overflows from the wheels, resulting in unnecessary waste. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The intelligent refueling device of the sintering machine of the present invention comprises a refueling device, a metering device, an image recognition device and a communication device; wherein,

[0035] The image recognition device is arranged on the refueling device or on the side of the refueling device; the image recognition device can be any existing image recognition device, such as an infrared scanner, a camera, etc.; the refueling device itself has no special features, and any existing refueling device for refueling a sintering machine trolley can be used;

[0036] The metering device is arranged on the pipeline of the refueling device and is used to measure the refueling amount and / or to control or terminate refueling.

[0037] The image recognition device and the metering device are connected to the server via a communication device, which can be any wired or wireless communication device.

[0041] When the refueling device begins refueling a wheel, camera 2 uses identification code 1 to identify the wheel number and transmits it to the server. Flow meter 4 simultaneously transmits the corresponding flow rate value to the server, completing the recording of the refueling volume. The server controls the operation of the refueling device by calculating the timed and quantitative refueling for each wheel, thus achieving intelligent refueling.
