[0039] The working principle of the device is:
[0040] I. Preparation:
[0041] When the steel wire rope 20 needs to be lubricated, first, pour lubricating oil into the oil tank 4.
[0042] Afterwards, the motor 306 drives the threaded rod 305 to rotate, the threaded rod 305 drives the sliding wheel seat 304 assembled thereon to move to the side of the steel wire rope 20 under the guidance of the guide rail 303, so that the friction wheel 301 presses the side wall of the steel wire rope 20, and the friction between them is increased. That is, the up and down movement of the steel wire rope 20 can drive the friction wheel 301 to rotate.
[0043] At the same time, in the moving process of the friction wheel 301, the worm 307 installed at one end of the wheel shaft of the friction wheel 301 will be in meshing contact with the worm wheel 119 on one side.
[0044] II. Lubrication and maintenance:
[0045] At the same time, in the moving process of the friction wheel 301, the worm 307 installed at one end of the wheel shaft of the friction wheel 301 will be in meshing contact with the worm wheel 119 on one side.
[0046] In the rotating process of the end face cam 110 at the upper end of the lubricating cylinder 101, the first guide rod 114 and the second guide rod 113 thereon will be driven to alternately rise and fall.
[0047] When the second guide rod 113 slides from the high point to the low point of the end face cam 110, at this time the second guide rod 113 will sink due to the stretching action of the compression spring 123, and since the second guide rod 113 and the second pressing rod 111 are connected through the connecting plate 115, the second pressing rod 111 will also sink, and the second ring plug 109 at the lower end of the second pressing rod 111 will press the lubricating oil in the second oil injection cavity 107, so as to squeeze the lubricating oil out of the second worm wheel 117 to the oil outlet 130, and in the process of rotating with the lubricating cylinder 101, the circumferential direction of the steel wire rope 20 is lubricated.
[0048] At the same time, when the first guide rod 114 moves from the low point to the high point of the end face cam 110, at this time the first guide rod 114 will rise along the surface of the end face cam 110, and since the first guide rod 114 and the first pressing rod 112 are connected through the connecting plate 115, the first pressing rod 112 will also rise, and the first ring plug 108 connected at the lower end of the first pressing rod 112 will rise along the first oil injection cavity 106, so as to form a negative pressure in the first oil injection cavity 106, so that the lubricating oil in the oil tank 4 enters the first oil injection cavity 106 through the first oil injection pipe 401, forming a supplement of the lubricating oil in the first oil injection cavity 106.
[0049] With further rotation of the lubricating cylinder 101, the second pressure rod 111 will be synchronized with the second guide rod 113 to rise, the second ring plug 109 connected to the lower end of the second pressure rod 111 will rise along the second oil injection cavity 107, a negative pressure is formed inside the second oil injection cavity 107, lubricating oil in the oil tank 4 enters the second oil injection cavity 107 through the second oil injection pipe 402, thereby replenishing the second oil injection cavity 107 which has been emptied of lubricating oil, facilitating the next use; while the first guide rod 114 and the first pressure rod 112 will be synchronized to descend, the first ring plug 108 connected to the lower end of the first pressure rod 112 will descend along the first oil injection cavity 106, thereby discharging the lubricating oil previously added in the first oil injection cavity 106 from the oil outlet 130 along the flow guide pipe 129, and further lubricating the circumferential surface of the steel wire rope 20 with the rotation of the lubricating cylinder 101.
[0050] The device of the present application synchronously completes the rotation of the lubricating cylinder 101 and the alternate oil replenishment of the oil tank 4 to the first oil injection cavity 106 and the second oil injection cavity 107 through the cooperation between the lubricating mechanism 1, the driving mechanism 3 and the oil tank 4, and the transmission of the friction force between the friction wheel 301 and the steel wire rope 20 during operation, so that the first oil injection cavity 106 and the second oil injection cavity 107 can alternate oil discharge, realize continuous lubrication of the circumference of the steel wire rope 20, and complete the lubrication of the steel wire rope 20 synchronously during the operation of the crane, thereby improving the uniformity of lubrication of the steel wire rope 20 and the overall lubrication efficiency of the steel wire rope 20.
[0051] Although the present application has been described in detail with general description and specific embodiments above, some modifications or improvements can be made on the basis of the present application, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made on the basis of not deviating from the spirit of the present application, all belong to the scope of protection claimed by the present application.
