DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0010] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: The utility model is an automatic lubricating scraper conveyor sprocket assembly: the controller 1, the solenoid valve 3, the lubrication pump 5, the grease distribution valve group 7 and the grease barrel 22 are installed and fixed in the protective box 23. The grease barrel 22 is installed and placed below the quantitative lubrication pump 5, and the grease barrel 22 has a built-in oil level sensor 4. The lubrication pump 5 is driven by emulsion, and the emulsion inlet pipeline is provided with a pressure sensor 2 and a fault indicator. When the pressure value is lower than the set value, the fault indicator flashes and alarms. The grease outlet pipeline is provided with a pressure sensor 2, a safety valve and a fault indicator to monitor the pressure value at the grease outlet. When it is higher than the set value, the fault indicator flashes and alarms, and the safety valve overflows. A grease metering sensor 6 is provided on the grease pipeline to monitor the oil injection amount of each line of the grease pipeline. The cables of the solenoid valve 3, the grease distribution valve group 7, the pressure sensor 2, the fault indicator, the oil level sensor 4 and the grease metering sensor 6 are all connected to the controller.
[0011] The lubrication pump 5 is driven by emulsion, and the emulsion enters the lubrication pump 5 through the solenoid valve 3. The controller 1 controls the solenoid valve 3 to change direction at a fixed time, thereby controlling the piston of the lubrication pump 5 to reciprocate, extracting and pressurizing the grease, and the pressurized grease is transported to the grease distribution valve group 7 through the oil pipe, and then transported to each lubrication point through each lubrication branch. The amount of grease injected into each lubrication point can be set by the controller 1. When the solenoid valve 3 is actuated to start grease injection, the grease distribution valve group 7 opens the first grease pipeline, and the grease enters the oil injection port Ⅰ9 through the rotary joint 8, flows through the main oil injection channel Ⅰ10 into the six oil injection auxiliary channels Ⅰ12, enters the oil groove and six oil holes of the bearing Ⅰ13, and finally enters the bearing cavity through the bearing Ⅰ13. The grease metering sensor 6 measures the amount of grease injected into the first channel and feeds back to the controller 1. When the amount of grease injected reaches the set value, the grease distribution valve group 7 automatically closes the first grease branch and opens the second grease branch. The grease enters the oil injection port Ⅱ21 through the rotary joint 8, flows through the main oil injection channel Ⅱ20 into the six oil injection auxiliary channels Ⅱ18, enters the oil groove and six oil holes of the bearing Ⅱ17, and finally enters the bearing cavity through the bearing Ⅱ17. The amount of grease injected into the second channel is measured and fed back to the controller 1, and grease is injected in sequence; during the grease injection process, the old oil in the bearing cavity is discharged through the breathable plug 16, and the grease injection amount and lubrication time of each bearing do not interfere with each other. All parameters can be set in the controller 1.
[0012] It should be understood that the above detailed description of the technical solution of the utility model with the help of preferred embodiments is illustrative rather than restrictive, and any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
