DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0019] Embodiment. A brake camshaft with a self-lubricating structure, comprising: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a shaft body 1, one end of which is provided with an S-shaped cam head 2, and the other end of the shaft body 1 is provided with an external spline 3; an oil storage tank 4 is provided at the axial center of the shaft body 1, and an oil filling hole 5 connected to the oil storage tank 4 is provided on the shaft body 1, and a one-way oiling nozzle 6 is threadedly connected to the oil filling hole 5; a plurality of lubrication grooves 7 distributed along the axial direction at intervals are provided on the shaft body 1, and the lubrication groove 7 is arranged in a ring shape; a plurality of No. 1 oil outlet holes 8 evenly distributed in a ring shape are provided in the lubrication groove 7, and the No. 1 oil outlet hole 8 is connected to the oil storage tank 4; a ring-shaped sponge 9 is provided in the lubrication groove 7, and the sponge 9 blocks and covers all the No. 1 oil outlet holes 8.
[0020] The oil filling hole 5 is located at one end of the shaft body 1 where the external spline 3 is provided; a No. 2 oil outlet hole 10 is provided in each keyway of the external spline 3, and the No. 2 oil outlet hole 10 is connected to the oil storage tank 4; a hollow column 11 is connected to the No. 2 oil outlet hole 10, and a steel ball 12 is provided at the top of the hollow column 11 as a limit, and the top of the steel ball 12 is protruding outside the hollow column 11; a cover 13 is connected to the bottom of the hollow column 11, and a spring 14 is provided between the cover 13 and the steel ball 12; a through hole 15 connected to the oil storage tank 4 is provided on one side of the bottom of the hollow column 11; a sponge column 16 is provided in the middle of the spring 14.
[0021] Working principle: When the brake is activated, the adjusting arm can drive the shaft body 1 to rotate through the external spline 3, thereby driving the S-shaped cam head 2 at the other end of the shaft body 1 to rotate, and the cam head 2 can brake the wheel through the brake shoe.
[0022] Since an oil storage tank 4 containing lubricating oil is provided at the axial center part of the shaft body 1, and a plurality of annular lubricating grooves 7 spaced apart along the axial direction are provided on the shaft body 1, and a plurality of annular No. 1 oil outlet holes 8 evenly distributed in annular shapes are provided in each lubricating groove 7, and an annular sponge 9 is provided in each lubricating groove 7; the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 4 can flow out from the No. 1 oil outlet hole 8 under the influence of gravity and be absorbed by the sponge 9, and the capillary action of the sponge 9 itself can lead the lubricating oil from the bottom where it is more concentrated to the top where the lubricating oil is less; as the shaft body 1 rotates, each part of the sponge 9 can contain a certain amount of lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil in the sponge 9 can better lubricate the outer side of the shaft body 1 after penetrating and diffusing outwards; among them, the sponge 9 can also prevent the lubricating oil from flowing out of the oil storage tank 4 quickly to cause excessive waste, thereby reducing the maintenance frequency.
[0023] Since a through hole 15 connected to the oil storage tank 4 is provided on one side of the bottom of the hollow column 11, the lubricating oil can enter the hollow column 11 through the through hole 15 and be absorbed by the sponge column 16. When the adjusting arm drives the shaft body 1 to rotate through the external spline 3, the steel ball 12 protruding from the corresponding keyway can be pressed down. At this time, the steel ball 12 compresses the spring 14 on the cover 13 in the hollow column 11 and the sponge column 16 in the middle of the spring 14, so that the lubricating oil absorbed in the sponge column 16 is squeezed out, and part of the squeezed lubricating oil can flow out from the top of the hollow column 11 to lubricate the keyway.
[0024] When lubricating oil needs to be added for maintenance, the staff only needs to inject the lubricating oil into the oil storage tank 4 through the one-way oiling nozzle 6 on the oil filling hole 5.
