Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of the transverse track of a material reclaimer, and in particular to a lubrication device for the transverse track of a material reclaimer. Background Technology

[0002] The raw material yard reclaimer is a large-scale, continuous conveying, high-efficiency loading and unloading machine. Because the reclaimer operates repeatedly under harsh conditions, its transverse track must be lubricated regularly to prevent wear and jamming between the transverse wheels and the track, which would affect the stable operation of the transverse device and thus impact the reclaimer's output.

[0003] Previously, lubrication was done manually and periodically, and could only be performed when the equipment was stopped. This presented several disadvantages:

[0004] 1. Due to the short duration of daily temporary downtime, it is impossible to guarantee sufficient lubrication of the tracks and wheels;

[0005] 2. The long duration of periodic downtime affects lubrication performance;

[0006] 3. The horizontal track is generally too high, making it inconvenient for people to walk or work, and posing a significant safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a lubrication device for the transverse track of a material handling machine, which solves the problems in the prior art where manual lubrication of the transverse track is performed periodically when the equipment is stopped, which cannot guarantee sufficient lubrication of the track and wheels, has a large period of downtime, affects the lubrication effect, and poses significant safety hazards due to manual lubrication.

[0008] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the present invention provides a lubrication device for the transverse track of a material reclaimer. The lubrication device is fixedly connected to the traveling device of the material reclaimer and located in front of the traveling device in the direction of travel. The lubrication device includes a mounting frame, an oil tank, and a lubrication auxiliary wheel. The mounting frame is fixedly connected to the traveling device, the oil tank is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, and the lubrication auxiliary wheel is rotatably connected to the mounting frame and can roll along the transverse track. The lubrication auxiliary wheel is configured as a hollow structure and has a plurality of oil outlet holes evenly spaced on its circumferential sidewall. The oil tank is connected to the lubrication auxiliary wheel.

[0009] Optionally, the plurality of oil outlet holes are arranged in a circular pattern and, when the lubrication auxiliary wheel rolls along the transverse track, the oil outlet holes correspond to the middle portion of the transverse track in the width direction.

[0010] Optionally, the width of the lubrication auxiliary wheel is the same as the width of the middle part of the transverse track.

[0011] Optionally, an automatic oil filling hole is provided on the side wall of the oil tank, which is used to communicate with an external oil pump so that oil can be automatically filled into the oil tank by the external oil pump.

[0012] Optionally, the top of the oil tank is also provided with a large oil filling hole.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting bracket is symmetrically fixed with two lugs, each lug having a through hole that is coaxially arranged. A rotating shaft is coaxially rotatably connected to the lubrication auxiliary wheel, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. A fixing sleeve is provided at the end of the connecting rod away from the rotating shaft. The fixing sleeve is located between the two lugs and is fixedly connected to the two lugs by bolts passing through the through holes and the fixing sleeve.

[0014] Optionally, the rotating shaft is configured as a hollow structure, with one end of the rotating shaft extending into the inner cavity of the lubrication auxiliary wheel. At least one leakage hole is provided on the side wall of the rotating shaft inside the lubrication auxiliary wheel, and the leakage hole communicates with the inner cavity of the lubrication auxiliary wheel. The oil tank communicates with the cavity of the rotating shaft.

[0015] Optionally, the oil tank is provided with an oil outlet valve, the rotating shaft is provided with an oil inlet valve, and the oil outlet valve and the oil inlet valve are connected by a hose.

[0016] Optionally, the mounting bracket includes an oil tank fixing plate and an auxiliary wheel mounting plate, the oil tank is fixedly mounted on the oil tank fixing plate, and the lubrication auxiliary wheel is mounted on the auxiliary wheel mounting plate;

[0017] Both the fuel tank fixing plate and the auxiliary wheel mounting plate have adjustment holes along their own length. The auxiliary wheel mounting plate is fixedly connected to the fuel tank fixing plate by bolts passing through the adjustment holes.

[0018] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] By incorporating a lubrication device, the lubrication system moves along the cross track as the traveling device moves. This movement of the lubrication device means that the lubrication auxiliary wheel rolls along the cross track. As the lubrication auxiliary wheel rolls, the lubricating oil supplied from the oil tank flows out through the oil outlet onto the cross track, thus lubricating the track. Furthermore, since the lubrication device is located in front of the traveling device in the direction of travel, the lubricated cross track also lubricates the wheels of the traveling device. The entire lubrication process can be completed without stopping the machine; lubrication occurs synchronously while the traveling device is operating, resulting in better lubrication performance. Simultaneously, no manual operation is required, improving safety. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following reference Figures 1 to 5 This invention describes a lubrication device for the transverse track of a material handling machine. In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature, that is, include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. When a feature "includes or contains" one or more of the features it encompasses, unless otherwise specifically described, this indicates that other features are not excluded and may be further included.

[0026] Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," "link," "fix," and "couple" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art should be able to understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] Furthermore, in the description of this embodiment, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or it can include contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. That is, in the description of this embodiment, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," or "below" of the second feature can mean the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0028] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a lubrication device for the transverse track of a material reclaimer. The lubrication device is fixedly connected to the traveling device 1 of the material reclaimer and located in front of the traveling device 1 in the direction of travel. The lubrication device includes a mounting frame 2, an oil tank 3, and a lubrication auxiliary wheel 4. The mounting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the traveling device 1, and the oil tank 3 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 2. The lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 2 and can roll along the transverse track 11. The lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 is a hollow structure with multiple oil outlet holes 41 evenly spaced along its circumferential sidewall. The oil tank 3 is connected to the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4.

[0030] When the traveling device 1 moves along the transverse track 11, the lubrication device also moves along with it. The movement of the lubrication device means that the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 rolls along the transverse track 11. As the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 rolls, the lubricating oil supplied to it through the oil tank 3 flows out from the oil outlet 41 onto the transverse track 11, thus lubricating the transverse track 11. Furthermore, since the lubrication device is located in front of the traveling device 1 in its direction of travel, the lubricated transverse track 11 also lubricates the wheels of the traveling device 1. The entire lubrication operation does not require stopping the machine; lubrication is performed synchronously while the traveling device 1 is working, resulting in better lubrication. At the same time, no manual operation is required, improving safety.

[0031] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3Multiple oil outlet holes 41 are arranged in a circle, and when the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 rolls along the transverse track 11, the oil outlet holes 41 correspond to the middle part of the transverse track 11 in the width direction. When the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 rolls along the transverse track 11, the lubricating oil flowing out of the oil outlet holes 41 will cover the middle part of the transverse track 11 in the width direction. At the same time, since the middle part of the transverse track 11 is higher than the two sides in the width direction, the lubricating oil will flow from the middle of the transverse track 11 to both sides, thus gradually covering the entire transverse track 11. Only one ring of oil outlet holes 41 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4, and the lubricating oil flows from the middle of the transverse track 11 to both sides, thus making full use of the lubricating oil and saving lubricating oil.

[0032] Furthermore, since only one ring of oil outlet holes 41 needs to be set, the width of the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 can be set to be the same as the width of the middle part of the horizontal track 11, without having to cover the entire horizontal track 11, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4.

[0033] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 An automatic oil filling hole 31 is provided on the side wall of the oil tank 3. The automatic oil filling hole 31 is used to connect with an external oil pump so that oil can be automatically injected into the oil tank 3 by the external oil pump, thereby making the oil filling operation more convenient.

[0034] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The top of the oil tank 3 is also equipped with a large oil filling hole 32. When the automatic oil filling hole 31 is blocked or the external oil pump fails, lubricating oil can be manually added to the oil tank 3 through the large oil filling hole 32, thus adapting to different working conditions.

[0035] Of course, a large oil filling hole 32 can be provided only at the top of the oil tank 3, without the need for an automatic oil filling hole 31.

[0036] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The mounting bracket 2 includes an oil tank 3 fixing plate 21 and an auxiliary wheel mounting plate 22. The oil tank 3 is fixedly mounted on the oil tank 3 fixing plate 21, and the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 is mounted on the auxiliary wheel mounting plate 22.

[0037] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 Both the oil tank 3 fixing plate 21 and the auxiliary wheel mounting plate 22 have adjustment holes along their length. The auxiliary wheel mounting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the oil tank 3 fixing plate 21 by bolts passing through the adjustment holes. By adjusting the overlapping part of the auxiliary wheel mounting plate 22 and the oil tank 3 fixing plate 21, the height of the auxiliary wheel mounting plate 22 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 so that the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 can cooperate with the transverse track 11.

[0038] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 Two lugs 51 are symmetrically fixed on the mounting bracket 2. Optionally, the two lugs 51 are vertically fixed to the auxiliary wheel mounting plate 22. Each lug 51 has a through hole, and the two through holes are coaxially arranged. A rotating shaft 54 ​​is coaxially rotatably connected to the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4, and a connecting rod 53 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 54. A fixing sleeve 52 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 53 away from the rotating shaft 54. The fixing sleeve 52 is located between the two lugs 51 and is fixedly connected to the two lugs 51 by bolts passing through the through holes and the fixing sleeve 52. By using bolts for fixing, the fixing sleeve 52 can be easily removed from the lugs 51, thereby realizing the detachability of the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 from the mounting bracket 2. This facilitates the removal of the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 to clear blockages in the oil outlet 41 of the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4.

[0039] Further, refer to Figure 5 Two bearings 542 are coaxially fixed on the side wall of the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4, and the rotating shaft 54 ​​is rotatably connected to the two bearings 542. One end of the rotating shaft 54 ​​first passes through one of the bearings 542 and extends into the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4, and is rotatably connected to the other bearing 542.

[0040] Further, refer to Figure 5 The rotating shaft 54 ​​is a hollow structure. A drain hole 541 is provided on the side wall of the rotating shaft 54 ​​inside the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4, and the drain hole 541 communicates with the inner cavity of the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4. There can be one or more drain holes 541. The oil tank 3 communicates with the cavity of the rotating shaft 54. Lubricating oil in the oil tank 3 flows out from the oil outlet of the oil tank 3, flows along the cavity of the rotating shaft 54, and flows into the lubrication auxiliary wheel 4 through the drain hole 541, finally flowing from the oil outlet 41 onto the transverse track 11.

[0041] Further, refer to Figures 1-4 The oil tank 3 has an oil outlet valve 61, and the rotating shaft 54 ​​has an oil inlet valve 62. The oil outlet of the oil outlet valve 61 and the oil inlet of the oil inlet valve 62 are connected by a hose 7. The lubricating oil in the oil tank 3 can flow into the cavity of the rotating shaft 54 ​​through the hose 7. The oil outlet valve 61 is used to control the oil output from the oil tank 3, and the oil inlet valve 62 is used to control the oil output from the rotating shaft 54.

[0042] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
