Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of grease processing, and particularly relates to a high-viscosity grease transfer and transportation device and its usage method. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the working efficiency of heavy machinery, it is necessary to regularly add high-viscosity grease to the parts where each component comes into contact. Adding grease can not only reduce friction and wear, thereby improving the efficiency of mechanical operation, but also maintain the mechanical devices and extend their service life. The thin film formed by the grease during operation can reduce the direct contact between metal surfaces, prevent overheating and corrosion, enabling the machine to still operate stably under high loads. Therefore, high-viscosity grease is a lubricating material often stocked in heavy machinery (such as steel machinery, etc.), and the lubrication lines are often fixed, with grease being transported from fixed tanks to different lubrication points.

[0003] However, during the use of current grease storage tanks, especially in the final stage of extraction, there is often a problem of grease residue. The problem of grease residue is mainly closely related to the design of the storage tank, the flow properties of the grease, and the working principle of the extraction equipment. During long-distance transportation, the physical properties of the grease may be affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and pressure. Changes in temperature can cause the viscosity of the grease to change, thereby affecting its lubrication effect. Especially in cold regions, the grease may become thick due to low temperature, resulting in a decrease in fluidity. Some types of grease will solidify and thicken after being stored at low temperature or for a long time, making it even more difficult to completely extract. At the same time, existing extraction equipment cannot provide sufficient power or pressure to overcome these flow resistances, making it easier for the grease at the bottom to remain.

[0004] During the extraction process, grease usually flows out of the storage tank by gravity or pumping. However, as the amount of grease in the tank gradually decreases, the grease at the bottom of the tank often cannot be completely extracted due to insufficient fluidity and thus remains at the bottom of the tank. This situation is particularly obvious when the tank body design is not reasonable enough or the performance of the extraction equipment is poor. For example, the grease storage tank designed in Chinese Patent CN107600768A uses pneumatic compression to discharge the grease by squeezing the piston with an air pump, which cannot solve the problem of residual grease adhering to the wall. When residues form at the bottom of the tank, although this part of the grease still physically exists, it cannot be effectively utilized, resulting in a waste of resources. At the same time, the residue of the grease may also cause unnecessary impurities or aging substances to be mixed in during subsequent use, affecting the lubrication effect of key mechanical parts. After each extraction operation, the grease that cannot be completely extracted means that the actual available amount of grease is insufficient, and the residual high-viscosity grease will cause blockages in the grease injection tank body and pipelines, making it impossible to extract and inject grease, and further leading to failures of the entire production line, directly affecting the overall operation efficiency and economic benefits of the enterprise. Therefore, optimizing the way of taking grease in the storage device to ensure the smooth extraction and transportation of high-viscosity grease is a problem to be solved in current mechanical maintenance.

[0005] Through investigating heavy machinery and equipment within units such as steel mills, the inventor found that the main reason for the high loss rate of transfer tanks is the problem of grease solidification and blockage. Grease transfer tank bodies are not uncommon, but problems always occur in the application of high-viscosity grease. Using low-viscosity grease is a solution idea, but the frequency of grease replacement will increase. The main problem in the use of high-viscosity grease is how to completely output the high-viscosity grease remaining at the bottom to avoid residue and deterioration. The current strategy is to replace the tank body for cleaning and then use it, but the problems of waste and low efficiency cannot be avoided. Based on this, the present invention designs a new type of high-viscosity grease transfer and transportation device for the above core problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the problems of pumping and injecting high-viscosity grease in long-distance transfer, transportation or storage in the prior art, the present invention proposes a high-viscosity grease transfer and transportation device and its use method. For this device, variable-angle design of internal stirring blades, heating design, and bottom monitoring design of the tank body are carried out. Considering the shape of the tank body of the device and the position of the oil outlet, and combining the principles of fluid dynamics to optimize the flow and extraction of grease, the problem of high-viscosity grease adhering to the wall and remaining is solved, and the reliability of the device and the quality of the grease are improved.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A high-viscosity grease transfer and transportation device, comprising:

[0009] Tank body, the tank body includes a heat-insulating inner tank, a heat-insulating outer tank, and a conical inner tank fixedly installed below the heat-insulating inner tank, and a heating tape is arranged between the heat-insulating inner tank and the heat-insulating outer tank;

[0010] Stirring assembly, the stirring assembly includes a stirring rod, stirring blades, a stepping motor and a pulley installed at the end of the stirring rod. The stirring rod includes an upper stirring rod and a lower stirring rod. The stirring blades are fixedly installed on the micro-moving shaft of the lower stirring rod. The micro-moving shaft is connected to the stepping motor through a coupling I, so as to drive the stirring blades to move through a driving rod;

[0011] Transmission assembly, the transmission assembly includes a motor, bevel gears and double-row angular contact ball bearings. The motor drives the bevel gears to transmit power. The bevel gears are connected to a lower transmission main shaft. The lower transmission main shaft is connected to an upper transmission main shaft through a coupling II. The double-row angular contact ball bearings transmit the locking force through a bearing inner sleeve and a bearing outer sleeve, and are fixed with locking nuts.

[0012] Further, the heating tape is wound around the outer surface of the heat-insulating inner tank and covers the surface of the tank body. The width of the heating tape is 10 mm and the thickness is 7 mm.

[0013] Further, the tank body also includes a plurality of support plates. The support plates are fixedly connected to the conical inner tank by welding for supporting the tank body;

[0014] A manhole is arranged at the upper end of the tank body, and a visual micropore is arranged at the bottom of the tank body; a temperature rise monitoring sensor is arranged at the bottom of the heat-insulating inner tank.

[0015] Further, the two ends of the upper stirring rod and the lower stirring rod are connected by a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe is fixedly connected to a pulley fixing plate. A pulley is arranged in the middle of the pulley fixing plate. The pulley is almost in contact with the inner side wall of the heat-insulating inner tank.

[0016] Further, a three-phase connector is arranged on the upper stirring rod, and a four-phase connector is arranged on the lower connecting rod. The upper stirring rod and the lower stirring rod are connected by the three-phase connector and the four-phase connector; the inside of the upper stirring rod is hollow and a heating rod is arranged.

[0017] Further, a fat extraction port is arranged below the tank body, and a screw pump is used to extract through the fat extraction port.

[0018] Further, the device also includes an upper outer sleeve and a lower outer sleeve. The upper outer sleeve and the lower outer sleeve are fixedly connected by a flange.

[0019] The present invention also provides a usage method of the high-viscosity grease transfer and transportation device described in any one of the above, including the following steps:

[0020] Turn on the tracing heat cable during the initial use or transportation for heating and heat preservation treatment;

[0021] During the initial use, due to the self-weight of the grease, it is pumped through the fat extraction port by a screw pump. When the grease drops to a certain height and the flow rate to the bottom slows down, turn on the motor to drive through bevel gears. At this time, the upper stirring rod and the lower stirring rod rotate, driving the pulley to rotate and stir the grease around the inner wall of the heat preservation inner tank. At the same time, the heating rod in the upper stirring rod conducts heating;

[0022] The stepper motor operates, driving the stirring blade to reciprocate slightly around the micro-motion shaft through the driving rod. At the same time, the motion frequency of the stirring blade is controlled by controlling the frequency of the stepper motor.

[0023] Advantages of the present invention:

[0024] (1) For the high-viscosity grease transfer and transportation device provided by the present invention, the stirring part adopts a control method of a stepper motor, which can realize the micro-motion control of the angle of the stirring blade, facilitating the wall-attached stirring of the residual high-viscosity grease; the stepper motor can adjust its telescopic frequency according to the specific requirements of stirring to adapt to different stirring conditions and the characteristics of high-viscosity grease. At the same time, during the stirring process, the use of the heating rod is combined with the micro-motion control to ensure the uniformity of the high-viscosity grease during heating and the continuity of stirring.

[0025] (2) In the transmission system of the present invention, bevel gear transmission is adopted and combined with the design of double-row angular contact ball bearings, which can effectively improve the stability and accuracy of the transmission process; at the same time, the upper and lower transmission shafts are connected by a coupling, and this structure further enhances the reliability of the main shaft during operation, reduces vibration, and improves the operation efficiency; this series of improvements not only extends the service life of the equipment, but also reduces the maintenance and replacement frequency, thereby reducing the overall energy consumption and the consumption of raw materials.

[0026] (3) The outer wall of the grease heat preservation inner tank of the present invention adopts a tracing heat cable heating method, which can achieve the uniformity of the tank body heating and ensure the fluidity of the internal material in a low-temperature environment; this uniform heating can not only effectively prevent the solidification of the grease, but also improve the overall use efficiency; in terms of improving the product quality and accuracy, the uniform heating process can better maintain the physical properties of the grease, providing a reliable guarantee for subsequent operations and use. At the same time, due to the efficient use of energy, the tracing heat system performs excellently in reducing energy consumption, thereby reducing the impact on the environment.

[0027] (4) The high-viscosity grease transfer and transportation device provided by the present invention addresses the problem of high-viscosity grease wall adhesion residue.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] To further understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] The present invention provides a high-viscosity grease transfer and transportation device, which includes a tank body, a stirring assembly and a transmission assembly. As Figure 1 shown, a manhole 1 is provided at the upper end of the tank body, and the tank body includes a heat-insulating outer tank 2.

[0039] As Figure 2 shown, the tank body includes a heat-insulating inner tank 3 and a conical inner tank 5 fixedly installed below the heat-insulating inner tank 3. A heat tracing tape 4 is provided between the heat-insulating inner tank 3 and the heat-insulating outer tank 2. Further, the tank body also includes a plurality of support plates 7, and the support plates 7 are fixedly connected to the conical inner tank 5 by welding for supporting the tank body. In this specific embodiment, four support plates 7 are equidistantly installed at the bottom of the tank body. The conical inner tank 5 is also fixedly connected to the heat-insulating inner tank 3 by welding, and the grease is stored in the heat-insulating inner tank 3. A manhole 1 is provided at the upper end of the tank body, and a special visual micropore 6-2 is provided at the bottom of the tank body for monitoring the temperature of the grease and the oil separation amount of the grease. A fat extraction port 6-1 is also provided below the tank body, and a screw pump 8-2 is used to perform extraction operations through the fat extraction port 6-1. The screw pump 8-2 used in this embodiment is a three-screw pump with a flow rate of 10 cubic meters and a pressure of 1.6 Mpa.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, 8 visual micropores 6-2 are installed at the bottom of the tank body, which are made of sapphire glass, with high strength and high temperature resistance. The flow state of the wall-attached grease can be observed in real time through the visual micropores 6-2. When the oil separation is serious, the stirring assembly can be started to stir the grease and the injection can be paused. In addition, a temperature rise monitoring sensor is provided at the bottom of the heat-insulating inner tank 3. The monitoring signal of the temperature rise sensor can be collected online or displayed through a fixed display. The fixed display is located outside the sapphire glass for convenient observation.

[0041] From Figure 2As can be seen, the tracing heating cable 4 is wound around the outer surface of the heat-insulating inner tank 3 to cover the tank surface. The tracing heating cable 4 has a width of 10 mm and a thickness of 7 mm. Its main purpose is to provide heating for the heat-insulating inner tank 3 in a low-temperature environment to prevent the grease from solidifying, thereby achieving the heat-insulating effect. This heating measure not only helps to maintain the fluidity of the grease but also facilitates the smooth extraction of the grease when needed, ensuring the normal operation and maintenance of the equipment. Through effective tracing heating, the working efficiency of the system can be improved, and the service life of the equipment can be extended.

[0042] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the stirring assembly includes a stirring rod, stirring blades 14, a stepping motor 20, and a pulley 17 installed at the end of the stirring rod. The stirring rod consists of an upper stirring rod 12 and a lower stirring rod 13. The upper stirring rod 12 and the lower stirring rod 13 are connected by a connecting pipe 15, a three-phase connector 10, and a four-phase connector 11. Specifically, a three-phase connector 10 is installed at the middle position of the upper stirring rod 12, and a four-phase connector 11 is installed at the middle position of the lower connecting rod. The upper stirring rod 12 and the lower stirring rod 13 are connected through the three-phase connector 10 and the four-phase connector 11.

[0043] The connecting pipes 15 are respectively installed at both ends of the upper stirring rod 12 and the lower stirring rod 13. The two connecting pipes 15 at both ends are welded to the pulley fixing plate 16. A pulley 17 is sandwiched in the middle of the pulley fixing plate 16. The pulley 17 contacts or nearly contacts the inner wall of the heat-insulating inner tank 3 and rotates circumferentially along the inner wall of the heat-insulating inner tank 3. It should be noted that during the rotation of the upper and lower stirring rods, the design of adding the pulley 17 at the end of the stirring rod (the upper stirring rod 12 and the lower stirring rod 13) aims to enhance the stability of the upper transmission main shaft 30 during rotation. By adding the pulley 17 at the end of the stirring rod, the force transmission mode can be changed, and the force received by the stirring rod during rotation can be dispersed, thereby enhancing the stability of the upper transmission main shaft 30. Moreover, the installation of the pulley 17 is simple and reliable, facilitating the operation and maintenance personnel to carry out maintenance and replacement.

[0044] In this specific embodiment, the stirring blades 14 are welded to the micro-motion shaft 18 inside the lower stirring rod 13. The micro-motion shaft 18 is connected to the stepping motor 20 through a coupling 19. The driving rod 21 is threadedly connected to the stepping motor 20. Specifically, there is a short shaft on both sides of the stepping motor 20. The driving rod 21 clamps and fixes by the tightening force of the screw to shrink the shaft hole. The stepping motor 20 is fixed to the four-phase connector by threaded connection. As Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the stirring blade 14 is fixed to the driving rod 21 by round head screws 33. A deep groove ball bearing 34 is provided inside the connecting pipe 15 for the driving rod 21 to drive the stirring blade 14 for fine movement. The design of the stirring part is controlled by a reciprocating telescopic stepper motor 20. The use of the reciprocating telescopic stepper motor 20 can achieve precise control of the angle of the stirring blade 14, which is particularly important for the stirring of high-viscosity grease. The accurate control ability of the stepper motor 20 can ensure that the stirring blade 14 makes fine movements during the stirring process, thereby improving the stirring efficiency and uniformity. This design not only improves the stirring efficiency but also ensures the uniformity of the material, creating good conditions for subsequent operations. The angle of the stirring blade 14 is directly related to the contact pressure between the stirring blade 14 and the grease. The greater the pressure, the greater the angle. When the lubricant drops by its own weight, the angle of the stirring blade 14 is the largest, and at this time, the stirring force is mainly provided. When the liquid level of the lubricant is lower than the stirring blade 14, at this time, through the control of the telescopic motor 8-1, the angle of the stirring blade 14 is changed, and through the hydrodynamic pressure effect, a higher grease scraping force is provided.

[0045] Furthermore, the upper stirring rod 12 is hollow inside and is provided with a heating rod 32. The presence of the heating rod 32 in the stirring rod can ensure that the high-viscosity grease is evenly heated during the stirring process, avoiding problems such as local overheating or uneven heating. The power and control of the heating rod 32 can be adjusted by the feedback of the signal from the tank body temperature rise sensor, adjusting the power and control mode of the heating rod 32, so as to precisely control the heating temperature to meet the heating requirements of different viscosity greases.

[0046] As Figure 1 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the transmission assembly includes a motor 8-1, a bevel gear 9, and a double row angular contact ball bearing 27. The transmission part adopts the design of a double row angular contact ball bearing 27 to enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity during the transmission process. This structure can effectively reduce friction, reduce noise, and extend the service life of the transmission system, ensuring the reliability of the equipment during long-term operation.

[0047] The motor 8-1 drives the bevel gear 9 for transmission. The lower transmission main shaft 25 is welded to the bevel gear 9 to drive the lower transmission main shaft 25 to rotate. The design of the 7309 double row angular contact ball bearing 27 is adopted, and it is fixed by a locking nut 26. The two double row angular contact ball bearings 27 transmit the locking force through the bearing inner sleeve 28 and the bearing outer sleeve 29, and finally the bearing outer ring is close to the outer sleeve to fix the bearing outer ring. It can be understood that the double row angular contact ball bearing 27 can also be replaced by a deep groove ball bearing or an angular contact ball bearing as long as it can provide a stable supporting effect. Relatively speaking, the double row angular contact bearing method can effectively reduce the design space.

[0048] The lower driving main shaft 25 is connected to the upper driving main shaft 30 through the second coupling 31 and fixed by the locking nut 26. The outside of the overall transmission component is locked by bolts of the flange 23. The design of connecting the upper and lower transmission shafts through the coupling can not only improve the stability during rotation, reduce vibration and stress concentration caused by the overlong main shaft, but also effectively prevent the possible local fracture during operation. This measure enhances the reliability and safety of the entire system and provides guarantee for the continuous operation of the equipment.

[0049] Furthermore, the device further includes an upper outer sleeve 22 and a lower outer sleeve 24. The upper outer sleeve 22 and the lower outer sleeve 24 are respectively welded on the flange 23, and at the same time, the flange 23 is connected by bolts.

[0050] On one side of the upper driving main shaft 30, there is a certain gap between the locking nut 26 and the side wall. Since the double-row angular contact ball bearing 27 also needs to be lubricated during operation, the lubricating grease flowing out of the heat-insulating inner tank 3 can just provide the required lubrication, which not only effectively avoids the waste of lubricating grease, but also ensures the smooth operation of the equipment and prolongs the service life of mechanical components.

[0051] In a specific application example, the present invention also provides a usage method of the above-mentioned high-viscosity lubricating grease transfer and transportation device:

[0052] The total height of the tank body is 2600 mm. The lubricating grease is stored in the heat-insulating inner tank 3 with a diameter of 2000 mm, and the heat-insulating outer tank 2 has a diameter of 2100 mm.

[0053] When the lubricating grease solidifies due to factors such as weather during the initial use or transportation, turn on the heating tape 4 at the initial stage of use to perform heating and heat preservation treatment.

[0054] At the initial stage of use, due to the self-weight of the lubricating grease, it is pumped by the screw pump 8-2 through the fat extraction port 6-1. When the lubricating grease drops to a certain height and the flow rate towards the bottom slows down, turn on the motor 8-1 to drive through the bevel gear 9. At this time, the upper stirring rod 12 and the lower stirring rod 13 rotate around the heat-insulating inner tank 3 through the pulley 17 to stir the lubricating grease, and at the same time, the heating rod 32 in the upper stirring rod 12 conducts heating. The stepping motor 20 operates, and the driving rod 21 drives the stirring blade 14 to reciprocate slightly around the micro-motion shaft 18, and at the same time, the motion frequency of the stirring blade 14 can be controlled by controlling the frequency of the stepping motor 20.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, modifications, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
