DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention.

[0030] The lubrication mechanism 2 is arranged inside the energy storage tank 110. An exhaust pipe 118 is connected to the outside of the upper space of the energy storage tank 110 for passing through the inside and outside. The exhaust pipe 118 is L-shaped with its opening facing the ground. A limiting groove 116 is provided at the top of the counterweight block 115. A limiting rod 117 is inserted into the limiting groove 116, and the top of the limiting rod 117 is connected to the inner surface of the energy storage tank 110.

[0031] When in use, one of the air passages 112 starts to take in air, so that the air pressure in the air storage space at the lower part of the energy storage tank 110 gradually increases, so that the partition sheet 113 and the rubber ring 114 move upward, and the counterweight 115 moves upward in the upper movement space of the energy storage tank 110, and the air in the upper space is squeezed out from the limit rod 117;

[0032] At the same time, when exhaust begins through the other air duct 112 , the counterweight 115 exerts additional pressure on the partition plate 113 due to its own weight when pressing downward.

[0035] When shutting down for maintenance, the sealing plug at the end of the oil pipe 210 can be removed, and the lubricating oil bottle can be connected to it. The oil bottle can be squeezed so that the oil flows along the oil pipe 210 into the energy storage tank 110 and into the groove ring frame 212, and finally the oil is dispersed from the oil leakage hole to the inner wall of the energy storage tank 110.

[0036] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention.
