[0023] In order to explain the technical content and structural features of the present application in detail, the following further description is made in combination with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0024] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the present application provides an automatic piston lubrication pump 100 for regularly and quantitatively injecting oil to a lubrication point, for example, injecting oil to the lubrication point once an hour or several hours.

[0025] The structure of the automatic piston lubrication pump 100 of the present application is described in detail as follows. The automatic piston lubrication pump 100 of the present application comprises a pump body 10, a plunger rod 20, a worm wheel 30, a worm 40, a cam 50, a jacking rod 60 and a driver 70. An oil storage cavity 11 is formed in the pump body 10, and an accommodating structure 12 for accommodating the plunger rod 20 is arranged in the oil storage cavity 11. The accommodating structure 12 is provided with an accommodating cavity for accommodating the plunger rod 20. The plunger rod 20 is installed in the accommodating cavity through a spring 21. The accommodating cavity is a temporary storage cavity 13 at the lower part of the plunger rod 20. The lower end of the accommodating structure 12 is provided with an oil inlet 14 and an oil outlet 15. The temporary storage cavity 13 is communicated with the oil storage cavity 11 through the oil inlet 14. The spring 21 always has a tendency to drive the plunger rod 20 to move downward. The driver 70 is installed on the pump body 10. The driver 70 drives the worm 40 to rotate through linkage. The worm wheel 30 is installed in cooperation with the worm 40. The cam 50 is rotatably installed on the worm wheel 30 and is arranged non-coaxially with the worm wheel 30. The worm wheel 30 drives the cam 50 to rotate synchronously by at least 1 / 3 of a circle during one rotation of the worm wheel 30. One end of the jacking rod 60 is hingedly connected to the pump body 10. The other end of the jacking rod 60 is in abutment with the plunger rod 20. The jacking rod 60 is in abutment with the cam 50. A sensor 80 is installed in the oil storage cavity 11. The cam 50 is provided with a sensing element 90. The sensing element 90 is aligned with the sensor 80 at least once during one rotation of the cam 50 to trigger the sensor 80.

[0026] When the lubrication point is lubricated, the driver 70 drives the worm 40 to rotate, thereby driving the worm wheel 30 to rotate and synchronously driving the cam 50 to rotate. The rotation of the cam 50 drives the jacking rod 60 to swing, and the jacking rod 60 lifts the plunger rod 20 upward, thereby increasing the volume of the temporary storage cavity 13. Under the action of negative pressure, the oil in the oil storage cavity 11 flows into the temporary storage cavity 13 through the oil inlet 14. After the jacking rod 60 swings upward to the highest point (the state is shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 ), the spring 21 restores deformation to drive the plunger rod 20 to move downward. When the plunger rod 20 moves downward, the jacking rod 60 is pushed downward to swing, and the jacking rod 60 pushes the cam 50 to continue to rotate relative to the worm wheel 30 to the initial position (the state is shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 ). During the movement of the plunger rod 20 downward, the oil in the temporary storage cavity 13 is pushed out and flows out to the lubrication point through the oil outlet 15. The worm wheel 30 only needs to rotate a certain angle (less than one circle) to make the cam 50 complete one circle. Therefore, in each lubrication cycle, the driver 70 only needs to drive the worm 40 to rotate a certain angle to complete the entire lubrication action, thereby achieving the effect of green energy saving.

[0027] The present invention installs a sensor 80 in the oil storage chamber 11 and installs a sensing element 90 on the cam 50. The cam 50 aligns the sensing element 90 with the sensor 80 at least once during one rotation to trigger the sensor 80. When the sensing element 90 triggers the sensor 80, it indicates that the cam 50 is rotating normally and the worm wheel 30 is also rotating normally, which also indicates that the worm 40 is rotating normally and the driver 70 is operating normally. Conversely, when one of the driver 70, worm wheel 30, worm 40 and cam 50 fails, the sensing element 90 will definitely not trigger the sensor 80 within one oiling cycle, so that the equipment failure can be detected in time.

[0028] In the embodiment provided herein, sensor 80 is an electromagnetic sensor, and sensing element 90 is a magnetic element. However, depending on practical needs, sensor 80 can also be an infrared sensor, with sensing element 90 corresponding to the sensing element that triggers the infrared sensor. Furthermore, sensing element 90 is mounted on a side of cam 50, adjacent to the edge of cam 50. Rotation of cam 50 causes sensing element 90 to move, indicating normal operation of worm gear 30.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the worm gear 30 drives the cam 50 to rotate through a connecting rod 31. Furthermore, the worm gear 30 drives the cam 50 to rotate half a circle synchronously during one circle of rotation. The remaining half circle of the cam 50 is pushed by the spring 21 against the push rod 60, and the push rod 60 continues to rotate by pushing the cam 50. Specifically, the worm gear 30 is provided with a guide rail 32, one end of the connecting rod 31 is mounted on the cam 50, and the connecting rod 31 penetrates the guide rail 32. During the rotation process, the worm gear 30 drives the cam 50 to rotate synchronously by pushing the connecting rod 31. After the cam 50 pushes the push rod 60 and swings upward to the highest point, the spring 21 recovers its deformation and pushes the plunger rod 20 to move downward. During the downward movement of the plunger rod 20, it pushes the push rod 60 to swing downward, and the push rod 60 thereby presses down the cam 50 to cause the cam 50 to continue to rotate (in the embodiment provided by the present invention, the cam 50 continues to rotate half a circle). The connecting rod 31 slides along the guide rail 32 to reset the cam 50 to its initial position, so that the worm gear 30 drives the cam 50 to rotate in the next oiling cycle.

[0030] Preferably, the guide rail 32 is a semicircular arc structure, that is, the connecting rod 31 can slide half a circle in the guide rail 32, but it is not limited to this structure, and the circumference can be increased or decreased.

[0031] like Figure 7As shown, the oil inlet 14 is provided with a one-way valve 141, when the plunger rod 20 moves upward, the volume of the temporary storage cavity 13 becomes larger, negative pressure is generated, the one-way valve 141 is opened, the oil in the oil storage cavity 11 flows into the temporary storage cavity 13 through the oil inlet 14, when the plunger rod 20 moves downward, the one-way valve 141 is closed, the oil in the temporary storage cavity 13 flows out from the oil outlet 15 to the lubrication point. Preferably, the one-way valve 141 adopts a ball valve structure, but is not limited thereto. Preferably, the accommodating structure 12 is provided with an oil filter screen 121 at the lower end of the oil inlet 14, the oil flowing into the temporary storage cavity 13 is filtered through the oil filter screen 121, so that the oil is clean.

[0032] As shown in the drawings, Figures 2 to 7 The top rod 60 is provided with an abutting wheel 61 between the two ends thereof, the abutting wheel 61 is rotatably arranged on the top rod 60, and the top rod 60 abuts against the cam 50 through the abutting wheel 61 to reduce friction. Preferably, the end of the top rod 60 abutting against the plunger rod 20 is provided with an abutting protrusion 62, the side surface of the abutting protrusion 62 is arc-shaped, so as to facilitate the pushing of the plunger rod 20 by the top rod 60 and reduce friction.

[0033] Preferably, when the top rod 60 swings upward to the highest point, the cam 50 abuts against the abutting wheel 61, when the top rod 60 swings downward to the lowest point, the cam 50 does not abut against the abutting wheel 61, of course, at this time, the two can also abut against each other in a lighter pressure mode. When the top rod 60 swings downward to the lowest point, the cam 50 is substantially at the initial position at this time.

[0034] As shown in the drawings, Figures 2 to 7 In order to facilitate the adjustment of the lubrication displacement, the plunger rod 20 is arranged in the accommodating cavity in a length-adjustable manner, the greater the length of the plunger rod 20 extending into the accommodating cavity, the greater the compression amount of the spring 21, and the more difficult it is to push the plunger rod 20 to move upward, and the smaller the oil that can be stored in the temporary storage cavity 13 each time the oil is pumped, and vice versa. An oil scale is also marked on the top of the plunger rod 20, so as to facilitate the adjustment to the corresponding oil pumping amount, and the plunger rod 20 can be locked by using a screw or the like after the corresponding oil pumping amount is adjusted.

[0035] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automatic piston type lubricating pump 100 of the present application further comprises a liquid level sensor 01 arranged in the oil storage cavity 11, and the liquid level of the oil in the oil storage cavity 11 is detected through the liquid level sensor 01.

[0036] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pump body 10 of the present application comprises an oil tank 16 and a pump cover 17 arranged above the oil tank 16, the pump cover 17 is arranged on the oil tank 16, the plunger rod 20, the worm wheel 30, the worm 40, the cam 50, the ejector rod 60, the driver 70, the sensor 80 and other structures are installed on the pump cover 17, and the oil storage cavity 11 is formed in the oil tank 16. In order to facilitate the oil supplement to the oil storage cavity 11, the oil inlet 171 is arranged on the pump cover 17, and the filter screen 1711 is arranged on the oil inlet 171.

[0037] As shown, Figures 2 to 6 The bottom side of the pump cover 17 extends to the oil storage cavity 11 and a column-shaped mounting structure 172 is arranged, the mounting structure 172 is provided with a mounting cavity for accommodating the worm 40, a butt joint window 173 is arranged on the side wall of the mounting structure 172 and communicates with the mounting cavity, and the worm 40 is mounted in cooperation with the worm wheel 30 through the butt joint window 173.

[0038] The bottom side of the pump cover 17 further extends to the oil storage cavity 11 and forms two support structures 174 arranged at intervals, the worm wheel 30 and the cam 50 are rotatably mounted on the support structures 174 through a support rod 175, the ejector rod 60 passes through between the two support structures 174, and the mounting structure 172 and the accommodating structure 12 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the support structures 174, so as to optimize the internal structure arrangement and improve the structural stability.

[0039] The above only discloses the preferred examples of the present application, and cannot limit the scope of the present application, therefore, the equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present application all belong to the scope covered by the present application.
