Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a grease gun, comprising:

[0030] An oil storage cylinder, the oil storage cylinder comprises an oil storage tank 1 and a gun head 2 covered on the oil storage tank 1, the gun head 2 is provided with an oil rod cavity 23, an oil outlet nozzle 22 connected with the oil rod cavity 23, and an oil inlet 21 connected with the oil storage tank 1 and the oil rod cavity 23, and an oil push rod 3 is slidably arranged in the oil rod cavity 23;

[0031] A crank 5, wherein the crank 5 is hinged to the oil storage cylinder via a pin; and

[0032] An articulated chain is arranged between the head end of the oil pushing rod 3 and the crank handle 5, and the articulated chain includes at least one link 4; when there is one link 4, the two ends of the link 4 are rotatably connected to the oil pushing rod 3 and the crank handle 5 respectively; when there are two or more links 4, all the links 4 are connected in series, and the link 4 located at the head end of the articulated chain is rotatably connected to the crank handle 5, and the link 4 located at the end of the articulated chain is rotatably connected to the oil pushing rod 3, and two adjacent links 4 are rotatably connected.

[0033] In order to facilitate user operation, the upper end of the crank handle 5 is hinged to the gun head 2 through a pin shaft in this embodiment. In order to make the grease gun more beautiful, a receiving groove is provided on the crank handle 5 in this embodiment, and all the chain links 4 are located in the receiving groove.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 2 , when the oil push rod 3 is pushed inwardly to the bottom along the oil rod cavity 23, all the chain links 4 and the oil push rod 3 are in a straight line. Figure 3 As shown, when the oil push rod 3 is pulled outward, the chain link 4 connected to the crank handle 5 rotates relative to the crank handle 5, the chain link 4 connected to the oil push rod 3 rotates relative to the oil push rod 3, and the two adjacent chain links 4 rotate relative to each other, thereby pulling the oil push rod 3 outward along the oil rod cavity 23 in a straight line.

[0035] In this embodiment, each of the chain links 4 includes a first hinged portion located at a head end and a second hinged portion located at a tail end, and the first hinged portion and the second hinged portion are integrally formed.

[0036] As a specific implementation method, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first hinged part is a pillar 41, and the second hinged part is a hinge slot 42, and the pillar 41 is connected to the hinge slot 42. Specifically, each hinge slot 42 includes left and right side walls and a bottom wall located between the bottoms of the side walls. For each link 4, the rear end of its pillar 41 is fixedly connected to the front side of the hinge slot 42.

[0037] In this embodiment, when there is one chain link 4, the support 41 is rotatably connected to the crank handle 5 via a pin, and the hinge slot 42 is rotatably connected to the head end of the oil push rod 3 via a pin;

[0038] When there are two or more chain links 4, all the chain links 4 are connected in series, and the pillar 41 of the chain link 4 at the head end of the hinge chain is rotatably connected to the crank handle 5 through a pin, and the hinge slot 42 of the chain link 4 at the end of the hinge chain is rotatably connected to the head end of the oil push rod 3 through a pin. In each of the two adjacent chain links 4, the hinge slot 42 of the chain link 4 at the front side and the pillar 41 of the chain link 4 at the rear side are both rotatably connected through a pin. Specifically, the left and right side walls of the hinge slot 42, the pillar 41 and the oil push rod 3 are all provided with through holes for the pin to pass through.

[0039] In this embodiment, in order to make the structure more optimized, this embodiment is arranged that when the crank handle 5 is turned to pull the oil push rod 3 outward along the oil rod cavity 23, the chain link 4 rotates relative to the adjacent chain link 4 or the crank handle 5 or the oil push rod 3, so that the articulated chain is in a bent state; when the crank handle 5 is turned to push the oil push rod 3 inward to the bottom along the oil rod cavity 23, all the chain links 4 of the articulated chain are in a straight line, and of the two adjacent chain links 4, the support 41 of the chain link 4 located on the rear side abuts against the bottom wall of the articulated groove 42 of the chain link 4 located on the front side. At this position, the oil push rod 3 is pushed inward into place.

[0040] In this embodiment, as a specific implementation, for example, there are two chain links 4, and the specific structure is that the upper end of the crank handle 5 is rotatably connected to the gun head 2 through the first pin 6. The chain link 4 at the head end is rotatably connected to the crank handle 5 through the second pin 7, the two chain links 4 are rotatably connected through the third pin 8, and the oil push rod 3 is rotatably connected to the chain link 4 at the tail end through the fourth pin 9.

[0041] Working principle description:

[0042] When the crank 5 is rotated away from the oil storage cylinder, the chain link 4 connected to the crank 5 rotates relative to the crank 5, and the chain link 4 connected to the oil push rod 3 rotates relative to the oil push rod 3, and two adjacent chain links 4 rotate relative to each other, thereby pulling the oil push rod 3 outward along the oil rod cavity 23 in a straight line, and the hinge chain is in a bent state. When the crank 5 is rotated toward the oil storage cylinder, the crank 5 pushes the oil push rod 3 inward along the oil rod cavity 23 through the chain link 4, so that the grease is sprayed out through the oil spray nozzle.

[0043] The present utility model is not limited to the above optional implementation modes. Under the premise of not conflicting with each other, the various schemes can be combined arbitrarily. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the inspiration of the present utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in their shapes or structures, all technical schemes that fall within the scope defined by the claims of the present utility model fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
