Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an oil mist pump assembly and its control method, to the field of micro-oil mist lubrication, and particularly to a micro-oil mist lubrication system with precisely controllable discharge volume. Background Technology

[0002] Oil mist lubrication technology utilizes the energy of compressed air to atomize liquid lubricating oil into small particles of 1um-3um, which are suspended in the compressed air to form a mixture (oil mist). Under its own pressure energy, the mixture is delivered to various parts that need lubrication through transmission pipelines.

[0003] Existing oil mist lubrication devices have a relatively simple design and lack controllable adjustment mechanisms, making it difficult to achieve precise control of the oil mist volume in practical applications. Due to the lack of an effective metering and adjustment mechanism, insufficient or excessive oil mist supply often occurs at the lubrication points. This not only significantly affects the lubrication effect but may also pose a potential threat to the stable operation of the equipment.

[0004] Oil mist lubrication devices on the market often suffer from insufficient or excessive oil intake at lubrication points due to the lack of an effective oil volume regulation mechanism.

[0005] Traditionally, a venturi tube is used for atomization, which uses gas to atomize the lubricating oil. The applicant found that using negative pressure to atomize the lubricating oil resulted in a large pressure loss and the formation of a negative pressure arc, making it impossible to accurately add lubricating oil.

[0006] This invention creatively modifies the Venturi tube, transforming the passive process of lubricating oil entering the necked section into an active positive pressure supply to the liquid. Simultaneously, it creates a negative pressure seal, generating a needle-like effect. This prevents lubricating oil remaining in the pipeline from entering the Venturi tube, reducing its load and ensuring that the pressure generated by the Venturi tube is fully utilized for mixing and atomization. This invention changes the traditional counter by using a high-quality counter. The applicant discovered that hydraulic oil is recycled, which leads to the accumulation of impurities in the oil tank and sedimentation in the pipeline. In contrast, lubricating oil is unidirectionally output and will not carry impurities back to the oil tank. Therefore, this invention creatively uses a more accurate and reliable counter.

[0014] To ensure precise metering, the active pump assembly includes a central pump body and a lower pump cover located below the central pump body. A large metering cavity is provided on the upper part of the pump body; a small metering cavity is connected to the lower end of the large metering cavity.

[0016] An intake throttle valve is installed on air passage A.

[0017] A control method for an oil mist pump assembly, comprising the aforementioned oil mist pump assembly; the control method includes the following steps; Step 1: Compressed gas passes through the pump body; Step two: The compressed gas is divided into three streams; S2.1, one path drives the pump assembly through the valve group, and the counting assembly realizes quantitative oil supply to the nozzle assembly; S2.2, the second path enters the nozzle assembly input end to atomize the lubricating oil; S2.3, the three channels send compressed gas into the output end of the nozzle assembly to perform secondary diffusion output of atomized lubricating oil; Step 3: The secondary diffusion atomized lubricating oil is output through several branch pipelines.

When the valve assembly is opened, a stream of clean air drives the metering piston, overcoming the metering piston spring and compressing the large metering chamber. At the same time, it compresses the small metering chamber, causing the lubricating oil to flow downwards. This causes the metering steel ball to overcome the metering spring and open, allowing the lubricating oil that enters from the metering inlet to be discharged quantitatively through the metering outlet. The lubricating oil is then fed into the venturi inlet of the oil supply pipe and nozzle assembly, and the lubricating oil entering and exiting the metering channel is balanced. In the counting assembly, lubricating oil enters the counting chamber through the counting inlet, which pushes the counting sensor block to move relative to the counting proximity switch, generating a signal change. The lubricating oil passes through the gap between the counting sensor block and the counting chamber and is output through the counting outlet A. When the lubricating oil stops intermittently, the counting sensor block is reset by the counting spring. In step S2.2, the intake throttle valve enters the nozzle assembly through air passage B; In the nozzle assembly; After passing through the nozzle inlet, the clean air enters the nozzle necking channel through the Venturi intermediate air port and the Venturi air inlet, which carries the lubricating oil through the Venturi oil inlet into the nozzle necking channel. After mixing, the air is discharged from the nozzle secondary expansion channel. In step S2.3, clean air enters the secondary expansion channel of the nozzle through the secondary radial hole of the nozzle and is discharged from the Venturi oil mist outlet.

[0019] The micro-lubrication system of this invention can continuously and efficiently atomize lubricating oil into small particles and accurately deliver fresh, clean atomized lubricating oil to multiple lubrication points, uniformly covering the lubricated parts for lubrication and cooling.

[0020] This technology, through precise control of the micro-oil quantity, can continuously provide clean yet optimal amounts of lubricating oil to the lubrication surface. Combined with the cooling effect of air, it keeps the temperature rise of moving friction parts to a minimum, maximizing mechanical performance.

A metering channel 35 is provided in the pump body 25, which communicates with the metering large inner cavity 26; The metering piston 27 is used to open or close the metering inlet 29.

[0045] In order to achieve precise spray atomization, avoid the residence time of atomized oil mist, and increase the diffusion area of ​​oil mist, the nozzle assembly 2 includes a nozzle body 37 and a nozzle housing 38 connected together; A nozzle mounting cavity 36 is provided between the lower part of the nozzle body 37 and the nozzle housing 38; A nozzle intermediate sleeve 39 is provided in the nozzle mounting cavity 36; The nozzle core 40 is located inside the nozzle intermediate sleeve 39. The nozzle inner core 40 is in contact with the inner wall of the nozzle intermediate sleeve 39; A nozzle valve core 48 is provided at the lower part of the nozzle inner core 40; The nozzle valve core 48 is located above the nozzle housing 38; A Venturi air inlet 46 is provided between the lower small end of the nozzle inner core 40 and the inner side wall of the nozzle intermediate sleeve 39. A nozzle inlet 41 is provided on the nozzle body 37; A nozzle interlayer channel 42 is provided between the nozzle body 37 and the nozzle intermediate sleeve 39; A nozzle constriction channel 44, which communicates with the through hole of the nozzle core 40, is provided at the top of the nozzle housing 38; thereby achieving high-speed and efficient atomization, reducing the loss of oil output driven by pressure in the venturi tube, and at the same time, achieving air-oil encapsulation to prevent oil from adhering to the channel.

[0046] Below the nozzle constriction channel 44, there are sequentially connected nozzle secondary expansion channel 47 and Venturi oil mist outlet 49. A secondary radial hole 43 is provided on the outer wall of the secondary expansion channel 47 of the nozzle, thereby enabling the oil mist to open rapidly.

[0047] A Venturi central air port 45 is provided on the outer wall of the nozzle intermediate sleeve 39; thereby realizing the convergence of airflow and high-speed ejection.

[0048] The Venturi intermediate air port 45 connects the nozzle inlet 41 and the Venturi air inlet 46; A Venturi oil inlet 50 is provided on the top of the nozzle body 37; The venturi inlet 50 connects to the nozzle mounting cavity 36.

[0049] An intake throttle valve 65 is installed on the air passage A53.

[0050] The control method for the oil mist pump assembly in this embodiment includes the oil mist pump assembly described above; the control method includes the following steps; Step 1: Compressed gas passes through pump body 1; Step two: The compressed gas is divided into three streams; S2.1, the pump assembly 4 is driven by valve group 66, and the metered oil supply to nozzle assembly 2 is achieved through counting assembly 3; S2.2, the second path enters the input end of the nozzle assembly 2 to atomize the lubricating oil; S2.3, the three channels send compressed gas into the output end of the nozzle assembly 2 to perform secondary diffusion output of the atomized lubricating oil; Step 3: The secondary diffusion atomized lubricating oil is output through several branch pipelines.

[0051] In step one, the gas output from the gas source unit 51 passes through the oil separator 63 and is then cleaned and output to the collection node A52. In step two, In step S2.1, clean air enters the pump assembly 4 and exits the nozzle assembly 2 through the counting assembly 3. When valve assembly 66 is opened, a stream of clean air drives metering piston 27, overcoming metering piston spring 28 and compressing metering large inner cavity 26. At the same time, it compresses metering small inner cavity 31, causing lubricating oil to flow downward. This causes metering steel ball 30 to open overcoming metering spring 32, allowing lubricating oil entering from metering inlet 29 to be discharged quantitatively through metering outlet 33. This balances the lubricating oil entering and exiting the venturi inlet 50 and metering channel 35 of the oil supply pipe 8 and nozzle assembly 2. In the counting assembly 3, lubricating oil enters the counting chamber 18 through the counting inlet 22, which pushes the counting sensor block 20 to move relative to the counting proximity switch 21 to generate a signal change. The lubricating oil passes through the gap between the counting sensor block 20 and the counting chamber 18 and is output through the counting outlet A16. When the lubricating oil stops intermittently, the counting sensor block 20 is reset by the counting spring 19; In step S2.2, the intake throttle valve 65 enters the nozzle assembly 2 through the air passage B54; In nozzle assembly 2; After passing through the nozzle inlet 41, the clean air enters the nozzle necking channel 44 through the Venturi intermediate air port 45 and the Venturi air inlet 46, which carries the lubricating oil through the Venturi oil inlet 50 into the nozzle necking channel 44. After mixing, the lubricating oil is discharged from the nozzle secondary expansion channel 47. In step S2.3, clean air enters the secondary expansion channel 47 of the nozzle through the secondary radial hole 43 and is discharged from the Venturi oil mist outlet 49.

[0052] Combination Figure 7 The preferred control principle of this invention is as follows: An oil mist pump uses high-speed compressed air to convert lubricating oil into tiny, lightweight oil mist particles. These converted oil mist particles are then transported to various lubrication points by low-speed airflow.

[0053] Compressed air undergoes initial filtration and an oil separator to remove entrained moisture, oil, and other impurities, resulting in a dry and clean air source. This clean air then flows through a pressure regulating valve into the Venturi nozzle where oil mist is generated, passing at high speed. Simultaneously, a constant displacement pump delivers a measured amount of lubricating oil to the Venturi nozzle at a set frequency. The lubricating oil entering the Venturi nozzle is atomized under the impact of the high-speed airflow and flows into the oil mist screening chamber.

[0054] Large, heavy oil particles are deposited at the bottom of the screening chamber and then re-enter the Venturi nozzles through the circulation channel for atomization. The generated oil mist flows with low-speed air in the manifold towards the lubrication points. After passing through the condensation nozzles before the lubrication points, it is transformed into an easily adhering state and blown with air to each lubrication point to form a lubricating oil film and cool the components.

[0055] The compressed air at the inlet is divided into three paths: The first path serves as the power source for the metering pump. A two-position three-way solenoid valve is installed between the gas path and the metering pump. By setting the switching frequency of the solenoid valve, the gas supply of this path can be controlled, thereby controlling the metering pump to pump oil in a timed and quantitative manner. The second path serves as the gas source for oil atomization, atomizing the input oil into oil mist particles through a Venturi atomizer. The third path serves as the power source for oil mist delivery. This path's air pipe is equipped with a flow regulating valve, allowing manual adjustment of the airflow rate according to operating conditions.

[0056] The second venturi atomizer has an integrated counter that accurately senses and records the number of times the metering pump has pumped oil via a proximity switch.

[0057] Since the metering pump has a fixed displacement, the pumping rate can be accurately controlled by controlling the number of pumping cycles.
