[0002] A flat conveyor chain is a collection device used after the strip is rolled into finished products. It has a chain structure similar to a bicycle chain, with chains on both sides and a panel in the middle. The chains on both sides are connected by long and short axles, each with a roller at one end. These rollers require frequent grease replenishment to ensure proper operation, and because a flat conveyor chain has so many rollers, the workload for lubricating them is enormous. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a fast oil filling cup for flat conveyor chain rollers.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A quick-fill oil cup for flat conveyor chain rollers, comprising: A storage tank has an oil cavity for holding lubricating oil. One end of the storage tank is closed, and the other end has a filling port that communicates with the oil cavity. The inner wall of the filling port is provided with an annular flange, and the side of the storage tank has an oil outlet. An oil outlet pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the storage tank, and the inlet end of the oil outlet pipe is connected to the oil outlet, and the outlet end of the oil outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the oil filling port of the ball bearing. And, a ball bearing is rolled within the oil cavity; Specifically, when the ball is located at the closed end of the oil cavity, both the oil filling port and the oil outlet are in the open state; when the ball abuts against the annular flange, the oil filling port is in the closed state and the oil outlet is in the open state.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the quick refueling cup for the flat conveyor chain roller of the present invention, it further includes a refueling funnel, the refueling funnel comprising a funnel body and a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the lower end of the funnel body, the outer side of the connecting pipe is provided with an external thread, the inner wall of the refueling port is provided with an internal thread, the connecting pipe is threadedly installed in the refueling port, and the end of the connecting pipe forms the annular flange.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the quick-fill oil cup for the flat conveyor chain roller of the present invention, the funnel body is frustoconical, and one end of the connecting pipe is connected to the end of the funnel body with a smaller diameter.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the quick-fill oil cup for the flat conveyor chain rollers of the present invention, the diameter of the ball bearing is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting tube.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the quick-fill oil cup of the flat conveyor chain roller of the present invention, the distance between the bottom of the oil cavity inside the storage tank and the oil outlet is greater than the diameter of the ball bearing.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the quick-fill oil cup of the flat conveyor chain roller described in this invention, the axis of the oil outlet pipe is perpendicular to the axis of the storage tank.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the quick-fill oil cup for the flat conveyor chain roller of the present invention, the oil filling port of the roller is provided with an internal thread, and the end of the oil outlet pipe away from the storage tank is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) The present invention connects the oil outlet pipe to the oiling port of the roller of the flat conveyor chain and installs the oil cup on the side of each roller. In this way, the roller can be automatically lubricated during the use of the flat conveyor chain, avoiding the need to lubricate each roller individually, effectively reducing the workload and ensuring the lubrication effect of the roller.
[0012] (2) The present invention provides a ball bearing inside the storage tank and an annular flange on the inner wall of the oil filling port of the storage tank. When the storage tank is inverted, the ball bearing will automatically roll to the lower end of the storage tank under the action of gravity and abut against the annular flange. At this time, the ball bearing will completely block the oil filling port of the storage tank to prevent the lubricating oil in the storage tank from leaking.
[0013] (3) The present invention includes a lubrication funnel installed at the oil filling port of the storage tank. The lubrication funnel includes a funnel body and a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the lower end of the funnel body.

[0014] (4) The present invention has an external thread on the outside of the connecting pipe and an internal thread on the inner wall of the oil filling port of the storage tank. The connecting pipe is threaded inside the oil filling port, making the oil filling funnel easy to install and disassemble. Attached Figure Description
[0015] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the drawings used in the following description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.
[0016] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the quick-fill oil cup for the flat conveyor chain roller provided by the present invention; The components are: 1. storage tank; 2. oil cavity; 3. annular flange; 4. oil outlet; 5. oil outlet pipe; 6. ball bearing; 7. funnel body; 8. connecting pipe; 9. external thread. Detailed Implementation
[0017] To make the content of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0018] Example 1: This application provides a quick-fill oil cup for a flat conveyor chain roller. The device includes a storage tank 1, an oil outlet pipe 5, and ball bearings 6. The inlet end of the oil outlet pipe 5 is connected to the oil chamber 2 inside the storage tank 1, and the outlet end is connected to the oil filling port of the flat conveyor chain roller. Lubricating oil in the oil chamber 2 enters the ball bearings 6 through the oil outlet pipe 5, achieving lubrication of the ball bearings 6. Frequent lubrication of each ball bearing 6 is not required, and when the storage tank 1 is inverted, the ball bearings 6 can seal the opening of the storage tank 1, preventing lubricating oil leakage.
[0019] Specifically, in this embodiment, the storage tank 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure that is closed at one end and open at the other. An oil cavity 2 for holding lubricating oil is formed inside the storage tank 1. An oil filling port communicating with the oil cavity 2 is formed at the open end of the storage tank 1. An annular flange 3 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the oil filling port.
[0020] The ball bearing 6 is disposed within the oil cavity 2 of the storage tank 1. It should be noted that the diameter of the ball bearing 6 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cross-section of the storage tank 1, allowing it to roll within the oil cavity 2. Simultaneously, the diameter of the ball bearing 6 is larger than the inner diameter of the aforementioned annular flange 3. Thus, when the storage tank 1 is inverted, the ball bearing 6 will automatically roll to the lower end of the storage tank 1 under the influence of gravity and abut against the aforementioned annular flange 3. At this time, the ball bearing 6 will completely seal the oil filler port of the storage tank 1, preventing lubricating oil leakage from the storage tank 1.
[0021] An oil outlet 4 is provided on one side of the storage tank 1. The inlet end of the oil outlet pipe 5 is connected to the oil outlet 4, and the outlet end of the oil outlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the oil filling port of the roller in the flat conveyor chain. The lubricating oil in the storage tank 1 can enter the oil outlet pipe 5 through the oil outlet 4, and then enter the oil filling port of the ball bearing 6 through the oil outlet pipe 5 to replenish the lubricating oil in the ball bearing 6.
[0022] It is understandable that the inner diameter of the inlet end of the oil outlet pipe 5 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the oil outlet 4, and the axis of the oil outlet pipe 5 coincides with the axis of the oil outlet 4. This ensures that all the lubricating oil flowing out of the oil outlet 4 enters the oil outlet pipe 5.
[0023] In this embodiment, the axis of the oil outlet pipe 5 is perpendicular to the axis of the storage tank 1.
[0024] It should be noted that the distance between the bottom of the oil cavity 2 inside the storage tank 1 and the oil outlet 4 is greater than the diameter of the ball bearing 6. When the oil filling port of the storage tank 1 faces upward, the ball bearing 6 is located at the bottom of the oil cavity 2, and both the oil filling port and the oil outlet 4 on the storage tank 1 are in the open state. When the oil filling port of the storage tank 1 faces downward, the ball bearing 6 automatically rolls to the lower end of the storage tank 1 under the action of gravity and abuts against the annular flange 3. At this time, the ball bearing 6 will completely block the oil filling port of the storage tank 1, and the oil filling port will be in a closed state to prevent the lubricating oil in the storage tank 1 from leaking, while the oil outlet 4 remains in the open state.
[0025] Example 2: This application provides a quick-fill oil cup for a flat conveyor chain roller. See also... Figure 1 The difference from Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, a refueling funnel is installed at the refueling port of the storage tank 1. The refueling funnel includes a funnel body 7 and a connecting pipe 8 fixedly connected to the lower end of the funnel body 7. The funnel body 7 is a hollow, frustoconical structure with openings at both the top and bottom. The connecting pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the funnel body 7 with the smaller diameter, and the inner diameter of the connecting pipe 8 is equal to the inner diameter of the smaller diameter end of the funnel body 7. The end of the connecting pipe 8 furthest from the funnel body 7 extends into the refueling port of the storage tank 1, and the end of the connecting pipe 8 forms an annular flange 3.
[0026] The aforementioned filling funnel not only facilitates the addition of lubricating oil to the storage tank 1, but also allows the end of the connecting pipe 8 extending into the storage tank 1 to serve as an annular flange 3 within the storage tank 1, which, in conjunction with the ball bearing 6, prevents lubricating oil leakage from the storage tank 1.
[0027] It should be noted that the outer diameter of the connecting pipe 8 is equal to or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cross-section of the storage tank 1. This ensures that the gap between the outer wall of the connecting pipe 8 and the inner wall of the storage tank 1 is small enough to prevent the lubricating oil in the storage tank 1 from leaking out through this gap.
[0028] Preferably, the above-mentioned refueling funnel is detachably installed at the refueling port of the storage tank 1, that is, the outer side of the connecting pipe 8 is provided with an external thread 9, and the inner wall of the refueling port of the storage tank 1 is provided with an internal thread. The connecting pipe 8 is threaded into the refueling port, so that the refueling funnel is easy to install and remove.
[0029] When using the aforementioned quick-fill oil cup for the flat conveyor chain rollers, first install the device at the oil filling port of the flat conveyor chain roller through the oil outlet pipe 5, with the open end of the storage tank 1 facing upwards. Then, add lubricating oil into the storage tank 1. Since the flat conveyor chain has an upper and lower section during use, and the rollers of the upper and lower sections face opposite directions, in the oil cup with the oil filling port facing upwards in the storage tank 1, the ball bearing 6 is located at the bottom of the oil chamber 2. At this time, both the oil filling port and the oil outlet 4 on the storage tank 1 are in the open state, and the lubricating oil in the oil chamber 2 automatically enters into the ball bearing 6 through the oil outlet pipe 5 to lubricate the ball bearing 6. In the oil cup with the oil filling port facing downwards in the storage tank 1, the ball bearing 6 automatically rolls to the lower end of the storage tank 1 under the action of gravity and abuts against the annular flange 3. At this time, the ball bearing 6 completely seals the oil filling port of the storage tank 1, and the oil filling port is in a closed state to prevent the lubricating oil in the storage tank 1 from leaking, while the oil outlet 4 remains in the open state.
[0030] Therefore, the technical solution of this application connects the oil outlet pipe 5 to the oiling port of the roller of the flat conveyor chain, and installs the oil cup on the side of each roller. In this way, the roller can be automatically lubricated during the use of the flat conveyor chain, avoiding the need to lubricate each roller individually, effectively reducing the workload, and ensuring the lubrication effect of the roller.
[0031] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may have other implementation methods; all technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope claimed by the present invention.
