Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a turbocharger connecting rod oiling device. Background Technology
[0002] like Figure 1 The connecting rod shown has connection holes at both ends. This connecting rod is currently widely used for connecting the electronic actuator of a turbocharger to the rocker arm of the volute. Since the actuator needs to drive the rocker arm, friction is generated during movement. To reduce friction, high-temperature resistant lubricating oil needs to be applied to the connection holes at both ends of the connecting rod to reduce friction and increase the connecting rod's lifespan. Currently, during production and assembly, employees can only manually apply lubricating oil to the connection holes at both ends of the connecting rod using a scraper. This not only increases labor costs but also makes it difficult to control the amount of oil applied and to achieve even application. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a turbocharger connecting rod oiling device that can replace manual oiling, effectively control the amount of oil applied, and ensure uniform oiling.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a turbocharger connecting rod oiling device, including a workbench, a shelf for placing the connecting rod on the workbench, a first oiling nozzle and a second oiling nozzle respectively provided on both sides of the shelf for inserting into the connecting hole, the first oiling nozzle and the second oiling nozzle each having an oil inlet channel and multiple oil outlets, the multiple oil outlets being connected to the oil inlet channel, the multiple oil outlets being evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer peripheral wall of the oiling nozzle, the workbench also having an oil supply system for supplying oil to the first oiling nozzle and the second oiling nozzle, the oil outlet end of the oil supply system being connected to the oil inlet channel.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting a base, the connecting rod is placed on the base, which facilitates the connection holes at both ends of the connecting rod to be aligned with the first and second oiling nozzles. When the device is working, the oil supply system inputs lubricating oil into the oil inlet channel of the oiling nozzle, and then it flows out from multiple oil outlets. Through the uniform distribution of multiple oil outlets, the connecting holes can be evenly coated with lubricating oil, thereby realizing automatic oiling of the connecting rod, replacing manual oiling, effectively controlling the amount of oil applied, ensuring uniform oiling, and improving production and assembly efficiency.
[0006] Preferably, the first oiling nozzle is fixedly connected to the worktable, and the second oiling nozzle is movably connected to the worktable. The second oiling nozzle is connected to the worktable via a moving part, which allows the second oiling nozzle to move along the length of the worktable. The worktable is provided with a limiting part to restrict the movement of the second oiling nozzle. By adopting the above structure, the position of the second oiling nozzle on the worktable can be adjusted to a large extent, facilitating oiling of connecting rods of different lengths and improving the versatility of the device.
[0007] Preferably, the movable part includes a movable base and a guide rail. The guide rail is fixedly connected to the worktable along its length, and the movable base is slidably connected to the guide rail. The second oiling nozzle is mounted on the movable base. By adopting the above structure, the second oiling nozzle can move stably on the guide rail, improving the stability of the second oiling nozzle's movement.
[0008] Preferably, the limiting part includes a locking screw, and the movable seat is provided with a threaded hole for threaded connection of the locking screw, so that the locking screw abuts against the worktable after being locked into the threaded hole. By adopting the above structure, after the locking screw is locked, the locking screw abuts against the worktable, which facilitates the movement of the limiting movable seat.
[0009] Preferably, the movable part is equipped with an adjustment part for adjusting the second oiling nozzle by a small distance. The adjustment part includes a guide shaft, a movable block, and a spring. The guide shaft is fixedly connected to the movable seat and is arranged parallel to the guide rail. The movable block is slidably sleeved on the guide shaft. The spring is located on both sides of the movable block and is sleeved on the guide shaft. One end of the spring abuts against the movable block, and the other end abuts against the movable seat. The second oiling nozzle is fixedly connected to the movable block. In actual production of connecting rods, the connecting rods have different lengths within tolerance ranges. By using the above-mentioned adjustment part, the second oiling nozzle can be moved within a small range, which facilitates oiling of connecting rods with lengths within tolerance ranges on the device and improves the adaptability of the device.
[0010] Preferably, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the worktable, the guide rod is arranged parallel to the guide rail, and the moving block is slidably sleeved on the guide rod. By adopting the above structure, the guide rod can stably guide the moving block, improving the stability of the moving block's movement. Attached Figure Description

A first oiling nozzle 3 and a second oiling nozzle 4 that can be inserted into a connecting hole 101 are respectively provided on both sides of the storage seat 2. The outer diameter of the first oiling nozzle 3 and the second oiling nozzle 4 is smaller than the inner diameter of the connecting hole 101. Each of the first oiling nozzle 3 and the second oiling nozzle 4 is provided with an oil inlet channel 5 and multiple oil outlets 6. The multiple oil outlets 6 are all connected to the oil inlet channel 5. The multiple oil outlets 6 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer peripheral wall of the oiling nozzle. The workbench 1 is also provided with an oil supply system for supplying oil to the first oiling nozzle 3 and the second oiling nozzle 4. The oil outlet end of the oil supply system is connected to the oil inlet channel 5.
[0021] To facilitate oiling of connecting rods 10 of different lengths, the first oiling nozzle 3 is fixedly connected to the workbench 1, and the second oiling nozzle 4 is movably connected to the workbench 1. The second oiling nozzle 4 and the workbench 1 are connected by a moving part 7, which is used to move the second oiling nozzle 4 along the length direction of the workbench 1. The workbench 1 is provided with a limiting part for limiting the movement of the second oiling nozzle 4, thereby allowing the position of the second oiling nozzle 4 on the workbench 1 to be adjusted to a greater extent and improving the versatility of the device.
[0022] To improve the stability of the movement of the second oiling nozzle 4, the moving part 7 includes a moving base 71 and a guide rail 72.

One end of the spring 93 abuts against the moving block 92, and the other end abuts against the moving seat 71. The second oiling nozzle 4 is fixedly connected to the moving block 92, thereby allowing the second oiling nozzle 4 to move within a small range, improving the adaptability of the device.
[0025] To improve the stability of the movement of the moving block 92, a guide rod 94 is fixedly connected to the worktable 1. The guide rod 94 is arranged parallel to the guide rail 72, and the moving block 92 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 94.
[0026] The oiling process of the device: According to the different specifications of the connecting rod 10, the moving seat 71 is slidably adjusted to different positions on the worktable 1, and then locked to the worktable 1 by the locking screw 8 so that the moving seat 71 is limited. Then the connecting rod 10 is placed on the storage seat 2. The connecting holes 101 at both ends of the connecting rod 10 are respectively sleeved on the first oiling nozzle 3 and the second oiling nozzle 4. The oil supply system is started, and the oil supply system inputs the lubricating oil into the oil inlet channel 5 of the oiling nozzle, and then flows out from multiple oil outlets 6 to realize automatic oiling of the connecting rod 10, replacing manual oiling, effectively controlling the amount of oil applied, ensuring uniform oiling, and improving production assembly efficiency.
