Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sprocket wheels, in particular to a sprocket wheel edge which is convenient for lubrication. Background Art
[0002] A sprocket is a wheel with cog-shaped sprocket teeth, which is used to mesh with accurately pitched blocks on link chains or cables. Sprockets are widely used in mechanical transmission in industries such as chemical industry, textile machinery, escalators, wood processing, multi-story parking garages, agricultural machinery, food processing, instrumentation and petroleum.
[0003] The currently published patent: CN212203033U discloses a self-lubricating sprocket. The barrier ball is located inside the through hole. When the sprocket body rotates, the barrier ball will move in the through hole due to gravity. When the outer surface of the barrier ball fits the support plate, the lubricating oil inside the oil storage cavity will flow into the through hole and then flow out from the through hole to lubricate the meshing point between the sprocket body and the chain. The through hole located on the right side of the sprocket body allows the lubricating oil to flow out slowly, and the lubricating oil flows out along the outer wall of the sprocket body, thereby increasing the lubrication area with the chain, achieving the purpose of self-lubrication, improving work efficiency and saving labor.
[0004] Based on the above search, it was found that the above patent has the following problems when in use: when the self-lubricating sprocket rotates, the barrier ball will cause the movement of the barrier ball in the through hole due to gravity. When the outer surface of the barrier ball fits with the support plate, the lubricating oil inside the oil storage chamber will flow into the through hole to lubricate the meshing point between the sprocket body and the chain. Since the barrier ball generates centrifugal force when it rotates with the sprocket, when the barrier ball and the corresponding tooth rotate to disengage from the chain, the barrier ball will still slide and fit with the support plate due to the centrifugal force. Therefore, the lubricating oil inside the oil storage chamber will be thrown out through the through hole. At this time, the chain is far away from the thrown out lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil cannot flow to the chain surface, so that the chain and sprocket are lubricated, which will cause a waste of lubricating oil. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide a sprocket wheel edge that is easy to lubricate, which can solve the problem that the lubricating oil inside the oil storage cavity will be thrown out through the through hole, while the chain is far away from the thrown out lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil cannot flow to the surface of the chain, so that the lubrication of the chain and the sprocket will cause a waste of lubricating oil.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a sprocket wheel edge that is easy to lubricate, comprising a sprocket body and an automatic lubricating oil discharge mechanism; a key groove is provided on the inner wall of the sprocket body, the surface of the sprocket body is circular and evenly provided with teeth, and an annular oil storage groove is provided inside the sprocket body; the automatic lubricating oil discharge mechanism comprises a block, a guide rod and a spring, the block is circular and evenly provided inside the annular oil storage groove, the guide rod is slidably connected to the inside of the block, the end of the guide rod away from the block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular oil storage groove, and the spring is slidably sleeved on the surface of the guide rod.
[0007] Preferably, an oil inlet is provided on the surface of the sprocket body, and a threaded groove is provided on the inner wall of the oil inlet.
[0008] Preferably, the internal thread of the oil inlet is connected with a special-shaped screw, and the surface of the special-shaped screw is provided with a hexagonal groove for rotation.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the stopper, and one end of the spring away from the stopper is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular oil storage groove.
[0010] Preferably, the surface of the sprocket body is circular and evenly provided with oil drain holes, and the oil drain holes are located in the middle of two adjacent teeth.
[0011] Preferably, the stopper is slidably engaged inside the oil drain hole.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0013] 1. The lubricating oil in the annular oil storage tank on the wheel side of the sprocket which is easy to lubricate can be discharged from the inside of the oil drain hole and flow to the surface of the chain, thereby instantly lubricating the contact position between the chain and the teeth. When the stopper and its adjacent teeth rotate to the surface that is separated from the chain, the chain will also be separated from the surface of the stopper. At this time, the spring can release the elastic force and push the stopper into the inside of the oil drain hole to seal it, thereby avoiding the waste of lubricating oil flowing out of the oil drain hole.
