The filter 3 can filter and magnetically absorb impurities in the flowing lubricating oil; when the automatic oil delivery component 5 delivers all the lubricating oil in the oil storage barrel 4 into the planetary gear reducer 1, the automatic oil delivery component 5 is driven by the pullback component 6 and automatically returns to the initial state, and the pullback component 6 sends a signal to the control or monitoring end; the automatic oil delivery component 5 is also equipped with an oil scraping component 7, which can scrape oil from the cavity wall in the oil storage barrel 4 during the return and reset process of the automatic oil delivery component 5.
[0032] The present invention, by providing an automatic oil delivery component 5, can make use of the pressure difference between the oil storage barrel 4 and the inner cavity of the reducer to push the lubricating oil in the oil storage barrel 4 into the planetary gear reducer 1 when the lubricating oil in the planetary gear reducer 1 is consumed, so as to always ensure that the lubricating oil in the reducer is in a full state, thereby ensuring that the efficient lubrication effect of the transmission structure in the planetary gear reducer 1 is always maintained in the working state; by providing a filtering component, the lubricating oil in the oil storage barrel 4 entering the planetary gear reducer 1 can be filtered for impurities. At the same time, since the transmission structures of the reducer contact and wear with each other during daily operation, metal impurities will be generated, and the metal impurities will flow with the lubricating oil. Therefore, when the lubricating oil carrying metal impurities is When the oil flows into the vicinity of the oil outlet of the filter 3, it can be collected by magnetic attraction, which effectively reduces the influence of metal impurities on the transmission mechanism in the reducer, and is also convenient for subsequent unified processing; through the set pullback component 6, after the lubricating oil in the oil storage barrel 4 is pushed out, the automatic oil delivery component 5 can be driven to return and reset so that subsequent personnel can quickly add lubricating oil to the oil storage barrel 4 without manually returning the automatic oil delivery component 5; the pullback component 6 sends a signal to the host or the monitoring end to remind the staff that the lubricating oil in the oil storage barrel 4 is consumed and needs to be replenished in time; through the set oil scraping component 7, the lubricating oil on the wall of the oil storage barrel 4 can be scraped off synchronously during the reset process of the automatic oil delivery component 5, thereby improving the actual use efficiency of the lubricating oil.
