[0040] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a grease gun grease filling tool is provided, comprising: an outer cylinder 2, an inner cylinder 1, an inner cylinder baffle 6 and a piston 3 assembly.

[0043] For the convenience of description, the two ends of the outer tube 2 are named as the first end and the second end respectively. Similarly, the two ends of the inner tube 1 are also the first end and the second end. The first end of the outer tube 2 and the first end of the inner tube 1 are located at the same end.

[0044] A filling groove is provided on the side of the inner cylinder 1 , and the filling groove is used to fill grease into the inner cylinder 1 after the inner cylinder 1 is pushed out from the outer cylinder 2 .

[0045] The inner cylinder 1 is coaxially arranged in the outer cylinder 2, the inner side surface of the outer cylinder 2 is in contact with the outer side surface of the inner cylinder 1, and the inner cylinder 1 slides along its central axis relative to the outer cylinder 2; the inner cylinder baffle 6 is fixedly connected to the second end of the inner cylinder 1, and a locking opening is provided on the inner cylinder baffle 6; the inner cylinder baffle 6 is fixedly connected to the inner cylinder 1, and the piston 3 assembly applies a force to the inner cylinder baffle 6 to adjust the position of the inner cylinder 1.

[0046] The inner end of the piston 3 assembly is arranged in the inner tube 1, and the outer end of the piston 3 assembly is arranged outside the outer tube 2;

[0047] The piston 3 assembly has two connection states:

[0048] State 1: the piston 3 assembly and the inner cylinder baffle 6 are not limited, and the piston 3 assembly moves in the inner cylinder 1;

[0049] In state two, the piston 3 assembly and the inner tube 1 assembly are limited, and the piston 3 assembly drives the inner tube 1 to move in the outer tube 2.

[0050] When filling the grease, first set the piston 3 assembly to state 2, then push the piston 3 assembly to push the inner cylinder 1 out of the outer cylinder 2, and then gradually squeeze the grease into the inner cylinder 1 along the notch of the inner cylinder 1. During the squeezing process, it is convenient to observe the filling effect and adjust the squeezing direction and amount in real time. This method is suitable for bagged and tubed grease. For small barrel packaging, the grease can be filled into the inner cylinder 1 with the help of a putty knife tool. The amount of grease to be loaded into the inner cylinder 1 is determined according to the capacity of the grease gun. The size of the cylinder can be designed according to the specifications of the grease gun.

[0051] After the grease is filled, pull the piston 3 assembly so that the piston 3 assembly pulls the inner tube 1 back into the outer tube 2, and then converts the piston 3 assembly to state 1, and then pushes the piston 3 assembly forward, the piston 3 assembly pushes the grease in the inner tube 1 out, thus realizing the grease adding function.

[0052] Embodiment 2

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to achieve the functions and purposes of the first embodiment, the piston 3 assembly includes: a piston 3 plug body, a piston push rod 8 and a piston locking pin 11

[0054] The piston 3 plug body is arranged in the inner cylinder 1, and the piston 3 plug body is in contact with the inner side surface of the inner cylinder 1, and the piston 3 plug body slides relative to the inner cylinder 1 along the central axis; the main function is to push the grease in the inner cylinder 1, and it is also responsible for applying force to the inner cylinder baffle 6 when the inner cylinder 1 is pulled back into the outer cylinder 2.

[0055] The inner end of the piston push rod 8 passes through the locking opening and is fixedly connected to the piston 3 plug body, and the outer end of the piston push rod 8 is arranged outside the outer tube 2;

[0056] The piston locking pin 11 is vertically connected to the inner end of the piston push rod 8, and the distance between the piston locking pin 11 and the piston 3 plug body is not less than the thickness of the inner cylinder baffle 6; the main function is to apply a force to the inner cylinder baffle 6 when the inner cylinder 1 is pushed out of the outer cylinder 2.

[0057] In order to apply forces in different directions to the inner cylinder baffle 6 in different states, the locking opening includes a circular hole and a strip-shaped extended hole. The circular hole is coaxially arranged with the piston push rod 8, and the strip-shaped extended hole is arranged along the extension line of the radius of the circular hole.

[0058] When in state 1, the piston locking pin 11 coincides with the strip-shaped extension hole; at this time, the piston 3 assembly does not interfere with the inner cylinder baffle 6, and the piston 3 assembly does not exert a force on the inner cylinder 1.

[0059] When in state 2, the piston locking pin 11 does not overlap with the strip-shaped extension hole. At this time, the piston 3 assembly interferes with the inner cylinder baffle 6, and the piston 3 assembly applies a force to the inner cylinder 1.

[0060] The specific working methods are:

[0061] When not in use, the piston 3 plug body is located at the first end of the inner cylinder 1. Therefore, when in use, the piston push rod 8 is pulled out to the bottom, so that the piston 3 plug body is close to the second end, and the piston push rod 8 is rotated to align the piston locking pin 11 with the strip-shaped extension hole of the inner cylinder baffle 6, so that the piston locking pin 11 passes through the inner cylinder baffle 6. Then, the piston push rod 8 is rotated again to misalign the piston locking pin 11 with the strip-shaped extension hole. When the piston push rod 8 is pushed forward, the inner cylinder 1 is pushed out of the outer cylinder 2 because the inner cylinder baffle 6 is stuck between the piston locking pin 11 and the piston 3 plug body.

[0062] After the grease is filled, pull back the piston push rod 8, the inner cylinder 1 returns to the outer cylinder 2, the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 are fixed, and the piston push rod 8 is rotated to align the piston locking pin 11 with the strip extension hole of the inner cylinder baffle 6, and the piston locking pin 11 passes through the inner cylinder baffle 6, and then the first end of the tool is completely placed in the grease gun barrel to be filled, and the piston push rod 8 is slowly pushed forward. At this time, the piston 3 plug body pushes the grease in the inner cylinder 1 into the grease gun barrel. With continuous pushing, the grease is gradually filled in the grease gun barrel from the inside to the outside. At the same time, due to the extrusion of the grease, the tool as a whole is continuously withdrawn from the gun barrel until the grease is completely pushed into the gun barrel or the gun barrel is filled, and then the grease injection operation can be carried out smoothly.

[0063] In order to achieve the above operation, it is necessary to appropriately limit the length of each component, and the length of the outer cylinder 2 is greater than the length of the inner cylinder 1. The length of the piston push rod 8 is not less than the length of the outer cylinder 2.

[0064] In order to prevent contamination when not in use, the first end of the outer tube 2 is closed by a detachable tube cap, the second end of the outer tube 2 is closed by an outer tube cover 5, and the outer end of the piston push rod 8 passes through the outer tube cover 5 and is fixedly connected to the handle 4.

[0065] Embodiment 3

[0066] It can be seen from the second embodiment that when performing the grease injection operation, the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 need to be fixed, so this embodiment provides a fixing method.

[0067] An inner cylinder retaining ring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner cylinder retaining plate 6 . The inner cylinder retaining ring 7 is coaxially arranged with the outer cylinder 2 . A locking assembly for fixing the inner cylinder retaining ring 7 is arranged at the second end of the outer cylinder 2 .

[0068] The locking assembly includes at least one locking piece 12 and an outer tube sheath 9. The second end of the outer tube 2 is provided with a mounting groove. The locking piece 12 is elastically connected in the mounting groove. The outer tube sheath 9 is sleeved on the outer tube 2. When the outer tube sheath 9 overlaps with the locking piece 12, the outer tube sheath 9 drives the locking piece 12 to move toward the inside of the outer tube 2.

[0069] An arc-shaped groove matched with the locking piece 12 is arranged on the annular surface of the inner cylinder retaining ring 7. When fixing, the locking piece 12 is locked into the arc-shaped groove.

[0070] The outer tube sheath 9 is an annular component that fits the outer tube 2 and can be used as a gripping part of the tool. The outer side surface of the outer tube sheath 9 is provided with a symmetrical straight cut platform, which can be used as a supporting plane when placing the tool to prevent the tool from rolling uncontrollably.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, in addition, the outer tube sheath 9 can slide freely on the outer tube 2. When it moves to the locking piece 12, it will drive the locking piece 12 to move inside the outer tube 2, and then the locking piece 12 is engaged in the arc-shaped slot, thereby locking the movement of the inner tube 1; when the outer tube sheath 9 leaves, the locking piece 12 rebounds and moves upward under the action of elasticity, and the locking piece 12 leaves the arc-shaped slot, thereby unlocking the inner tube 1.

[0072] In order to make the connection between the inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2 more stable, the number of arc-shaped grooves is set to be multiple and distributed in a ring array on the inner tube retaining ring 7 .

[0073] Finally, in order to push all the grease out of the inner tube 1 , a sealing ring 10 is provided on the outer ring surface of the piston 3 for sliding sealing with the inner side surface of the inner tube 1 .

[0074] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment / method", "some embodiments / methods", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment / method or example are included in at least one embodiment / method or example of the present application.

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments / methods or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments / methods or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments / methods or examples, unless they are contradictory.

[0075] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0076] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are only for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other changes or modifications may be made based on the above utility model, and these changes or modifications are still within the scope of the present utility model.
