[0027] To illustrate the technical content and structural features of the present invention in detail, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, this invention discloses a dual-plunger progressive distributor 100, comprising a valve body 10, a first plunger 20, and a second plunger 30, all of which are integrally formed. The valve body 10 contains a first sliding channel 11 and a second sliding channel 12. The first plunger 20 is axially slidably mounted in the first sliding channel 11, and the second plunger 30 is axially slidably mounted in the second sliding channel 12. The valve body 10 also contains a liquid inlet channel 13 and multiple liquid outlet holes 14. The liquid inlet channel 13 communicates with both the first sliding channel 11 and the second sliding channel 12. Each of the first and second sliding channels 11 and 12 is correspondingly connected to two liquid outlet holes 14. The first plunger 20 has two first liquid storage annular grooves 21 arranged axially at intervals along its axial direction, and the second plunger 30 has three second liquid storage annular grooves 31 arranged axially at intervals along its axial direction. The valve body 10 also includes a first connecting channel 15, a second connecting channel 16, a third connecting channel 17, and a fourth connecting channel 18. The first end of the first connecting channel 15 communicates with the middle of the second sliding channel 12, and the second end of the first connecting channel 15 communicates with the left end of the first sliding channel 11. The first end of the second connecting channel 16 communicates with the middle of the second sliding channel 12, and the second end of the second connecting channel 16 communicates with the right end of the first sliding channel 11. The first end of the third connecting channel 17 communicates with the middle of the first sliding channel 11, and the second end of the third connecting channel 17 communicates with the left end of the second sliding channel 12. The first end of the fourth connecting channel 18 communicates with the middle of the first sliding channel 11, and the second end of the fourth connecting channel 18 communicates with the right end of the second sliding channel 12.

[0029] In this invention, the dual-plunger progressive distributor 100 has only two plungers, namely the first plunger 20 and the second plunger 30. Furthermore, the first sliding channel 11 and the second sliding channel 12 each connect to two drain holes 14, meaning there are a total of four drain holes 14. These four drain holes 14 drain oil sequentially, outputting the oil. Since the valve body 10 only has the first sliding channel 11 and the second sliding channel 12, and includes only four drain holes 14, the structure of the valve body 10 is simplified and more compact.

[0030] The following is a structural diagram of the dual-plunger progressive dispenser 100 of the present invention, illustrating its oiling action during one working cycle.

[0031] Figure 1 In the diagram, arrow X points from left to right, arrow Y points from front to back, and arrow Z points from bottom to top.

[0032] As noted above, the dual-plunger progressive dispenser 100 of the present invention includes a first plunger 20 (denoted by A) and a second plunger 30 (denoted by B). The four drain holes 14 are respectively designated as 1# to 4#.

[0033] like Figure 11 As shown, the following is a brief description of the operation process of the dual-plunger progressive dispenser 100 of the present invention. The operation of one process requires going through stages one to four.

[0034] In stage one, the first plunger A is in the left extreme position, the inlet channel 13 is connected to a first liquid storage ring groove 21 of the first plunger A, and then flows into the second connecting channel 16 and the fourth connecting channel 18. The oil flows to the right end of the second sliding channel 12, and the high-pressure oil pushes the second plunger B to the left. The second plunger B pushes the oil at the left end of the second sliding channel 12 towards the first connecting channel 15, and the oil finally flows out from the drain hole 1#.

[0035] In stage two, after the second plunger B reaches the left limit position, the inlet channel 13 is connected to a second liquid storage ring groove 31 of the second plunger B, and the oil flows into the third connecting channel 17 and the second connecting channel 16. The oil flows to the left end of the first sliding channel 11, and the high-pressure oil pushes the first plunger A to move to the right. The first plunger A pushes the oil at the right end of the first sliding channel 11 to the fourth connecting channel 18. The fourth connecting channel 18 is connected to another second liquid storage ring groove 31 of the second plunger B, and the oil finally flows out from the drain hole 4#.

[0036] In stage three, after the first plunger A reaches the right limit position, the inlet channel 13 is connected to a first liquid storage ring groove 21 of the first plunger A, and the oil flows into the first connecting channel 15 and the third connecting channel 17. The oil flows to the left end of the second sliding channel 12, and the high-pressure oil pushes the second plunger B to the right. The second plunger B pushes the oil at the right end of the second sliding channel 12 to the second connecting channel 16. The second connecting channel 16 is connected to a first liquid storage ring groove 21 of the first plunger A, and the oil finally flows out from the drain hole 3#.

[0037] In stage four, after the second plunger B reaches the right limit position, the inlet channel 13 is connected to a second liquid storage ring groove 31 of the second plunger B, and the oil flows into the fourth connecting channel 18 and the first connecting channel 15. The oil flows to the right end of the first sliding channel 11, and the high-pressure oil pushes the first plunger A to move to the left. The first plunger A pushes the oil at the left end of the first sliding channel 11 to the third connecting channel 17. The third connecting channel 17 is connected to another second liquid storage ring groove 31 of the second plunger B, and the oil finally flows out from the drain hole 2#.

[0038] After the above-mentioned operation process from stage one to stage four, the drain holes 1# to 4# were sequentially oiled.

[0039] As can be seen from the operation process of stages one to four, the present invention has only two plungers, including the first plunger 20 and the second plunger 30. During operation, the first plunger 20 and the second plunger 30 slide left and right alternately, which allows the drain holes 1# to 4# to be pumped with oil in sequence. This simplifies the structure of the valve body 10 and makes the structure more compact.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the first plunger 20 and the second plunger 30 are of equal length. The first plunger 20 includes three first stepped structures 22 spaced apart along its axial direction, with a first liquid-retaining annular groove 21 formed between each pair of first stepped structures 22. The second plunger 30 includes second stepped structures 32 spaced apart along its axial direction, with a second liquid-retaining annular groove 31 formed between each pair of second stepped structures 32. Both the first plunger 20 and the second plunger 30 are centrally symmetrical structures. The second plunger 30 has one more annular groove and one more stepped structure than the first plunger 20. This is done to allow the first plunger 20 and the second plunger 30 to automatically switch directions.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the first sliding channel 11 and the second sliding channel 12 are arranged in parallel, the first connecting channel 15 is inclined relative to the first sliding channel 11, and the second connecting channel 16 is inclined relative to the second sliding channel 12. The first sliding channel 11, the second sliding channel 12, the first connecting channel 15 and the second connecting channel 16 are in the same plane, that is, the axes of the first sliding channel 11, the second sliding channel 12, the first connecting channel 15 and the second connecting channel 16 fall on the same plane. This is beneficial to optimizing the structure of the valve body 10 and making the valve body 10 more compact.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the first end of the first connecting channel 15 and the first end of the second connecting channel 16 are spaced apart from each other on the left and right, forming a first gap between them. The sum of the lengths of a second liquid storage ring groove 31 and a second stepped structure 32 is greater than the length of the first gap. The length of the first gap is greater than the length of the second liquid storage ring groove 31, and the length of the first gap is greater than the length of the second stepped structure 32. The first end of the third connecting channel 17 and the first end of the fourth connecting channel 18 are spaced apart from each other on the left and right, forming a second gap between them. The sum of the lengths of a first liquid storage ring groove 21 and a first stepped structure 22 is greater than the length of the second gap. The length of the second gap is greater than the length of the first liquid storage ring groove 21, and the length of the second gap is greater than the length of the first stepped structure 22. This design is adopted to allow the first plunger 20 and the second plunger 30 to switch directions normally.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, the third connecting channel 17 and the fourth connecting channel 18 are both multi-segment bending structures.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a sealing plug 01 is installed at each end of the first sliding channel 11 and the second sliding channel 12, and the sealing plug 01 is used to seal the ends of the first sliding channel 11 and the second sliding channel 12.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an output connector 02 is installed in the drain hole 14, and an input connector 03 is installed in the inlet channel 13. The output connector 02 facilitates the discharge of oil, while the input connector 03 facilitates the import of oil. The input connector 03 and the output connector 02 are located on different sides of the valve body 10.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the end of the liquid inlet channel 13 branches into two parts, which are connected to the first sliding channel 11 and the second sliding channel 12 arranged one above the other.

[0047] ​ In the diagram, arrow X points from left to right, arrow Y points from front to back, and arrow Z points from top to bottom.

[0048] The above-disclosed examples are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention.
