Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of assembly and processing of electric toothbrushes, in particular to a uniform oiling device for a special-shaped shaft. Background Art

[0002] At present, the waterproofing of the motor shaft and the toothbrush handle of the electric toothbrush is mainly achieved by the interference fit seal between the motor shaft waterproof silicone and the motor shaft. Fig.11 The sealing silicone is sleeved on the end of the motor shaft and fits on the housing. Due to the interference fit, the waterproof silicone and the motor shaft mating surface are prone to dry assembly during assembly, and the waterproof silicone cannot be smoothly assembled into place, resulting in low production efficiency or excessive force applied by employees during the waterproof silicone assembly process, causing the waterproof silicone to be damaged. To solve this problem, it is necessary to apply lubricating oil to the motor shaft in advance. Since the front half of the motor shaft is a semicircular structure, more lubricating oil will remain on the semicircular end face during oiling, resulting in the need to wipe off the residual grease after the silicone is assembled. During the wiping process, the hands of employees are also easily stained with grease, causing secondary pollution to the toothbrush handle, so the oiling position and amount of the motor shaft need to be accurately controlled. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model provides a device for uniformly coating oil on a special-shaped shaft, aiming to solve the problem of uniformly and quickly coating the motor shaft of the special-shaped shaft of the electric toothbrush with waterproof lubricating oil during the assembly process of the electric toothbrush.

[0004] In view of this, the technical solution provided by the utility model is as follows: a device for uniformly oiling a special-shaped shaft, comprising a base, an oil storage seat is provided at the front end of the base, an oil storage tank which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom is provided inside the oil storage seat, a side cover is provided on one side of the oil storage tank, an outer sleeve is provided on the side cover, outer holes are evenly distributed on the tube wall of the outer sleeve, the outer holes are communicated with the oil storage tank, an oiling seat is fixed at the bottom of the oil storage tank, a through sleeve hole is provided inside the oiling seat, the outer sleeve extends from one side of the side cover plate and is sleeved in the sleeve hole, a slidable linkage mechanism is connected in the sleeve hole, and the linkage mechanism includes a movable block A push rod is connected to the movable block, a sleeve rod is provided at the front end of the push rod, an inner sleeve is provided at the front end of the sleeve rod, the push rod passes through the side wall of the oil storage seat and is sleeved in the sleeve hole, the inner sleeve extends and is sleeved in the outer sleeve, inner holes are evenly distributed on the tube wall of the inner sleeve, the inner holes are staggered with the outer holes, the motor shaft of the electric toothbrush is inserted into the inner sleeve through the outer sleeve, the linkage mechanism is slid, and the inner sleeve slides so that the inner hole is aligned with the outer hole, and the waterproof lubricating oil stored in the oil storage tank is squeezed into the inner sleeve through the outer hole and the inner hole to achieve uniform coating of the motor shaft.

[0005] Furthermore, a slider is installed at the bottom of the movable block, and a slide rail corresponding to the slider is provided on the base. The slider is slidably matched with the slide rail, and the movable block slides on the slide rail through the slider.

[0006] Furthermore, a baffle is provided on the base, and a pair of springs are installed on the baffle, and the springs are connected to the movable block. After the motor shaft is oiled, the linkage mechanism uses the pair of springs on the baffle to ensure that the device can achieve automatic reset of the inner sleeve after the motor shaft is oiled, so that the inner hole of the inner sleeve and the outer hole of the outer sleeve are staggered, thereby preventing the waterproof lubricating oil in the oil storage tank from being squeezed into the inner sleeve when not in use.

[0007] Furthermore, a pair of rotating shaft brackets are provided on the base, and a connecting rod is provided between the rotating shaft brackets to rotate through the rotating shaft. The connecting rod is an L-shaped structure, and a pressure plate with an adjustment rod is provided at one end of the connecting rod. The pressure plate presses against the upper part of the oil storage tank, and the other end of the connecting rod presses against the movable block. After the motor shaft is inserted into the inner sleeve, the connecting rod abuts against the movable block and rotates with the rotating shaft as the axis during the movement of the corresponding movable block. The rotation of the connecting rod causes the pressure plate to squeeze the paste-like waterproof lubricating oil in the oil storage tank. Therefore, under the action of the pressure plate, the waterproof lubricating oil is squeezed through the outer hole of the outer sleeve and squeezed into the inner sleeve through the inner hole of the inner sleeve to achieve uniform coating of the motor shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the movable block is provided with a sloped surface on its upper portion, and the connecting rod is provided with a sloped end portion corresponding to the sloped surface. The connecting rod is fitted onto the sloped surface through the sloped end portion. During the movement of the movable block, the connecting rod rotates through the rotating shaft so that the pressure plate can better squeeze the waterproof lubricating oil in the oil storage tank.

[0009] Further, the sleeve hole includes a first sleeve hole sleeved with the outer sleeve and a second sleeve hole sleeved with the push rod, a sleeve rod hole connected with the sleeve rod is provided between the first sleeve hole and the second sleeve hole, a step surface for limiting the sliding of the inner sleeve is provided between the first sleeve hole and the sleeve rod hole, and a step surface for limiting the reset of the push rod is provided between the second sleeve hole and the sleeve rod hole. After the motor shaft is inserted into the inner sleeve, the inner sleeve is limited by the step surface between the first sleeve hole and the sleeve rod hole, so that the inner hole of the inner sleeve and the outer hole of the outer sleeve are aligned, thereby ensuring that the waterproof lubricating oil enters the inner sleeve, and when the electric toothbrush is pulled out of the inner sleeve, the movable block is reset by the spring, and the push rod is limited by the step surface between the second sleeve hole and the sleeve rod hole, so that the inner hole of the inner sleeve and the outer hole of the outer sleeve are staggered, so as to avoid the waterproof lubricating oil in the oil storage tank from the outer hole of the outer sleeve to enter the inner sleeve when the device is not in use.

[0010] The utility model has an oil storage tank filled with waterproof lubricating oil, which is a paste-like semi-solid substance. When the motor shaft of the electric toothbrush is oiled, the motor shaft of the electric toothbrush is inserted into the inner sleeve through the outer sleeve. During the insertion process of the motor shaft, the inner sleeve slides inside the oiling seat and is limited by the step surface between the first sleeve hole and the sleeve rod hole. At this time, the outer hole on the outer sleeve and the inner hole of the inner sleeve are aligned with each other, so that the waterproof lubricating oil can enter the inner sleeve through the outer hole-inner hole and realize the oiling of the motor shaft. At the same time, during the sliding process, the inner sleeve pushes the movable block in the opposite direction through the sleeve rod-push rod, so that the movable block slides along the slide rail. During the sliding process of the movable block along the slide rail, it also drives the abutting connecting rod, and the connecting rod rotates with the rotating shaft as the fulcrum. During the rotation, the pressing plate connected to the connecting rod moves downward, and the pressing plate presses the waterproof lubricating oil of the paste-like semi-solid substance downward from the top, so that the waterproof lubricating oil can better enter the inner sleeve through the outer hole-inner hole to coat the motor shaft.

[0011] According to the utility model, after the motor shaft is coated as described above, the linkage mechanism uses the spring connected to the baffle to achieve reset. Under the action of the spring, the movable block slides and resets along the slide rail, and the movable block drives the push rod, which is limited by the step surface between the second set of holes and the sleeve rod hole, so that the inner hole of the inner sleeve and the outer hole of the outer sleeve are staggered, which can prevent the waterproof lubricating oil in the oil storage tank from being squeezed into the inner sleeve from the outer hole of the outer sleeve when the device is not in use. At the same time, the sliding reset of the movable block and the synchronous reset of the connecting rod under the action of gravity, the rotation of the connecting rod causes the pressure plate to be raised, and the surface pressure of the waterproof lubricating oil is suddenly reduced. Therefore, the waterproof lubricating oil will not be squeezed into the inner sleeve. Therefore, the electric toothbrush is convenient and quick to oil, which greatly improves the efficiency of oiling.

[0012] In the utility model, the pressing plate can be adjusted according to the consumption of the waterproof lubricating oil through the adjusting rod on the pressing plate, so as to ensure that the pressing plate squeezes the waterproof lubricating oil with an appropriate amount of pressure during the oiling process.

[0013] In the utility model, since the inner holes are evenly arranged on the tube wall of the inner sleeve, during the plugging process of the electric toothbrush, the evenly arranged inner holes are used to provide waterproof lubricating oil, thereby ensuring that the motor shaft of the electric toothbrush is evenly oiled.

A push rod 72 is connected to the movable block 71, and a sleeve rod 73 is provided at the front end of the push rod 72. An inner sleeve 74 is provided at the front end of the sleeve rod 73. The push rod 72 passes through the side wall of the oil storage seat 2 and is sleeved in the sleeve hole 81. The inner sleeve 74 extends and is sleeved in the outer sleeve 5. The inner holes 741 are evenly distributed on the tube wall of the inner sleeve 74, and the inner holes 741 are staggered with the outer holes 51. Specifically, refer to Figure 5 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 The sleeve hole 81 of the oiling seat 8 includes a first sleeve hole 811, a second sleeve hole 812 and a sleeve rod hole 813. The first sleeve hole 811 is fixedly sleeved with the outer sleeve 5, and the second sleeve hole 812 is slidably sleeved with the push rod 72.

The pressing plate 6 can be adjusted according to the consumption of the waterproof lubricating oil, thereby ensuring that the pressing plate 6 squeezes the waterproof lubricating oil with an appropriate amount of pressure during the oiling process, so that the waterproof lubricating oil can be better squeezed into the inner sleeve 74. The other end of the connecting rod 3 presses against the movable block 71, and the pressure applied by the pressing plate 6 to the oil storage tank 21 is utilized The lever principle of the connecting rod 3 is realized. After the motor shaft 91 is inserted into the inner sleeve 74, it passes through the moving linkage mechanism 7. During the movement of the corresponding movable block 71, the connecting rod 3 abutting against the movable block 71 rotates with the rotating shaft 12 as the axis. The rotation of the connecting rod 3 enables the pressure plate 6 to squeeze the paste-like waterproof lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 21, thereby realizing the pressurization of the waterproof lubricating oil squeezed on the pressure plate 6. In order to better realize the linkage effect between the movable block 71 and the connecting rod 3, the movable block 71 is provided with a slope 711 on its upper part, and the connecting rod 3 is provided with an oblique end corresponding to the oblique surface 711. The connecting rod 3 is fitted on the oblique surface 711 through the oblique end. During the movement of the movable block 71, the connecting rod 3 rotates through the rotating shaft 12 so that the pressure plate 6 can better squeeze the waterproof lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 21.

[0029] When implementing it, refer to Figure 6 , insert the motor shaft 91 of the electric toothbrush 9 into the inner sleeve 74 through the outer sleeve 5. During the insertion of the motor shaft 91, the inner sleeve 74 slides inside the oiling seat 8 and is limited by the step surface between the first sleeve hole 811 and the sleeve rod hole 813. At this time, the outer hole 51 on the outer sleeve 5 and the inner hole 741 of the inner sleeve 74 are aligned, so that the waterproof lubricating oil can enter the inner sleeve 74 through the outer hole 51-inner hole 741 and realize the oiling of the motor shaft 91. At the same time, the inner sleeve 74 slides During the movement, the movable block 71 is pushed in the opposite direction by the sleeve rod 73-push rod 72, so that the movable block 71 slides along the slide rail 13.
