However, although there is a certain automatic lubrication structure in the existing slewing bearings, due to the difficulty in controlling the output amount of lubricating oil, it is easy to cause the problem that the oil overflows from the bearing and combines with the surrounding dust, which affects the smooth rotation of the bearing after a long time.
[0005] Therefore, an automatically lubricated slewing bearing is proposed for the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatically lubricated slewing bearing to solve the problem that although there is a certain automatic lubrication structure in the existing slewing bearings as mentioned in the above background technique, due to the difficulty in controlling the output amount of lubricating oil, it is easy to cause the problem that the oil overflows from the bearing and combines with the surrounding dust, which affects the smooth rotation of the bearing after a long time.

[0009] Preferably, an oil storage tank is provided inside the outer ring for storing lubricating oil. Only regular refueling is required. Two oil absorbing cotton pieces are provided at the rear end of the sponge. The oil absorbing cotton passes through the outer ring and is placed in the oil storage tank. The oil absorbing cotton can quantitatively suck the oil in the oil storage tank into the sponge, avoiding the problem of oil spillage easily occurring in the original structure.
[0010] Preferably, the outer surface of the oil nozzle is provided with threads for connecting and moving with the inlet oil pipe. And by using the threads, the position of the inlet oil pipe inside the oil nozzle can be adjusted. The inlet oil pipe is divided into two parts, the front part of the inlet oil pipe is used for connecting with the threads to control the position of the inlet oil pipe. A third groove is provided inside the oil nozzle for the rear part of the inlet oil pipe to move inside.

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] In order to solve the technical problem that although the existing slewing bearings also have a certain automatic lubrication structure, it is difficult to control the output amount of the lubricating oil, which easily causes oil spillage of the bearing and combines with the surrounding dust, affecting the smooth rotation of the bearing over time, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the following technical solutions are provided:
[0021] Embodiment 1
[0022] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an automatic lubricating slewing bearing of the present invention includes an outer ring 1;
[0023] Among them, an inner ring 2 is provided inside the outer ring 1, an inner tooth pattern 201 is provided on the inner side of the inner ring 2, a seal ring group 3 is provided between the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2, the seal ring group 3 includes an upper ring and a lower ring, the upper ring and the lower ring are arranged up and down, an oil nozzle 5 is provided on the outer surface of the outer ring 1, the front end of the oil nozzle 5 is movably connected to an oil inlet pipe 4, and the oil injection structure is divided into two parts: the oil nozzle 5 and the oil inlet pipe 4, which is convenient for oil injection and closing the oil inlet when not injecting oil, avoiding the internal oil from spilling during use.
[0024] Embodiment 2
[0025] In order to ensure that the lubricating oil can be evenly applied to the rolling balls 6, a sponge 7 is provided;
[0026] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, a first groove 101 is opened on the inner side of the outer ring 1, a second groove 202 is opened on the outer surface of the inner ring 2, a plurality of balls 6 are provided between the first groove 101 and the second groove 202, and a sponge 7 for supplying oil is provided on the inner wall of the first groove 101.
[0027] Among them, an oil storage tank 102 is provided inside the outer ring 1 for storing lubricating oil. Only regular refueling is required. Two oil-absorbing cotton pieces 701 are provided at the rear end of the sponge 7. The oil-absorbing cotton pieces 701 pass through the outer ring 1 and are placed inside the oil storage tank 102. The oil-absorbing cotton pieces 701 can quantitatively suck the oil in the oil storage tank 102 into the sponge 7, avoiding the problem of oil spillage that is prone to occur in the original structure.
[0028] Embodiment 3
[0029] Since the oil injection hole needs to be exposed outside and is also used during oil injection, it is easy to cause external leakage of the internal lubricating oil.
[0030] For the above problems, as Figure 3 shown, a thread 501 is provided on the outer surface of the oil nozzle 5 for connecting and moving the inlet oil pipe 4. And by using the thread 501, the position of the inlet oil pipe 4 inside the oil nozzle 5 can be adjusted. The inlet oil pipe 4 is divided into two parts, the front part of the inlet oil pipe 4 is used to connect with the thread 501 to control the position of the inlet oil pipe 4, and a groove three 502 is opened inside the oil nozzle 5 for the rear part of the inlet oil pipe 4 to move inside.
[0031] Specifically, an opening 401 is opened inside the inlet oil pipe 4, and an oil inlet 402 is opened inside the opening 401 for oil injection. A limiting plate 403 is provided at the rear end of the inlet oil pipe 4 for restricting the movement inside the groove three 502. A oil guiding channel 10201 is provided inside the outer ring 1. The front end of the oil guiding channel 10201 is connected to the groove three 502, and the rear end of the oil guiding channel 10201 is connected to the oil storage tank 102.
[0032] Working principle: When oil injection is required, the front half of the inlet oil pipe 4 is twisted based on the thread 501 on the outer surface of the oil nozzle 5. Since the inlet oil pipe 4 is divided into two parts and is movably connected, as Figure 3 shown, when the front half of the inlet oil pipe 4 rotates outward, it will drive the rear half of the inlet oil pipe 4 to move from the Figure 2 state to the Figure 3 state, making the oil inlet 402 correspond to the upper opening of the oil guiding channel 10201. At this time, the front end of the filling oil pipe is inserted into the opening 401 to start oil injection. When the lubricating oil is injected into the oil storage tank 102, the oil-absorbing cotton pieces 701 can quantitatively suck the oil in the oil storage tank 102 into the sponge 7. Since the sponge 7 stores oil through the structure of the pores inside itself, the lubricating oil adheres to the surface of the sponge 7. When the rolling ball 6 rolls and moves, through mutual friction, the lubricating oil is evenly smeared on the surface of the rolling ball 6, avoiding oil spillage that is prone to occur in the original structure and increasing the smoothness of the bearing during use to a certain extent.
[0033] It should be noted that in this text, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
