Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a centralized lubrication system, a combined lubrication device, a lubricating pump and a hand-held oil gun. Background Art
[0002] Mechanical equipment generally has moving parts, and friction pairs are formed between the moving parts. Taking construction machinery as an example. Construction machinery is an important part of the equipment industry and is applied in multiple fields. Its operating conditions are complex, the operating objects are variable, and it often works under variable loads, with high requirements for the reliability and adaptability of the machine. In order to ensure the good operation of the friction pairs such as bearings and articulated shafts during long-term high-intensity construction operations, it is necessary to effectively lubricate the pins and bushings.
[0003] Taking construction machinery as an example, the friction pairs at the boom, dipper arm, connecting rod, drawbar and other parts need to be regularly filled with grease for lubrication. Since there are many lubrication points on the excavator and it is inconvenient for manual climbing to the filling positions, a centralized lubrication system is generally used to fill the grease. The centralized lubrication system pumps the grease by a lubricating pump, and after passing through the main oil circuit arranged on the equipment, it enters each distributor. In each distributor, according to the set displacement, the distributor passes through multiple branch oil pipes distributed on the equipment to each lubrication point. The centralized lubrication system greatly reduces the burden of manual filling, and since the lubrication can also be automatically realized during the operation of the equipment, it greatly saves the time of the machine operator, increases the operation time of the equipment, and improves the work efficiency.
[0004] However, the centralized lubrication system also has deficiencies that need to be solved urgently, that is, due to the harsh operating environment of construction machinery, it is often affected by high temperature, low temperature, wind, frost, rain and snow erosion. More importantly, the operating mechanism of construction machinery often comes into contact with materials such as ores, and is easily knocked, resulting in situations such as oil pipe rupture, distributor damage, blockage, etc., causing the overall failure of the centralized lubrication system and unable to continue lubricating. Once the centralized lubrication system is damaged, the machine operator has to stop working and needs to travel a long distance to purchase temporary lubrication equipment and grease or wait for the maintenance personnel to come and repair, which greatly affects the construction process. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a centralized lubrication system that can perform automatic centralized lubrication under normal circumstances. When the system fails or some special points need to be filled with lubricant, manual lubrication can be conveniently carried out. After the manual lubrication is completed, the centralized lubrication work can automatically replenish the lubricant for the manual lubrication part for the next manual lubrication use; the purpose of the utility model is also to provide a combined lubrication device, a lubricating pump and a hand-held oil gun used in the above centralized lubrication system.
[0006] The technical solution of the combined lubrication device of the utility model is as follows:
[0007] The combined lubrication device includes:
[0008] A lubrication pump, which includes an oil tank, a monitor, and a pumping mechanism. The pumping mechanism can suck lubricant from the oil tank and pump it out. An electrically controlled switching valve is connected to the outlet of the pumping mechanism. The electrically controlled switching valve includes a grease inlet and first and second grease outlets. The electrically controlled switching valve can control the grease inlet to be only communicated with one of the first and second grease outlets. The first grease outlet is used to connect to the grease supply pipeline of the centralized lubrication system, and the second grease outlet is connected to a pump oil pipe joint. A pressure reducing and overflow module is arranged between the second grease outlet and the pump oil pipe joint, and the pressure reducing and overflow module is communicated with the oil tank to perform pressure reducing and overflow when the pressure exceeds the set value.
[0009] A handheld grease gun, which includes a grease storage pipe, and the inlet of the grease storage pipe is connected to a gun oil pipe joint; the pump oil pipe joint and the gun oil pipe joint can be quickly connected and disassembled.
[0010] The lubrication pump includes a placement seat for placing the handheld grease gun. A detection module for detecting whether the handheld grease gun is placed in place is arranged on the placement seat. After the handheld grease gun is placed on the placement seat, the detection module feeds back a signal to the monitor, and the monitor controls the electrically controlled switching valve to switch to the second grease outlet for discharging grease.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: During use, under normal circumstances, the lubrication pump defaults to pumping grease to the distributor through the first grease outlet, and then the grease is distributed to each lubrication point through the distributor to achieve centralized lubrication. When the handheld grease gun is placed on the placement seat, the detection module can detect that the handheld grease gun is placed in place, feed back to the monitor, and control the electrically controlled switching valve to switch to the second grease outlet for discharging grease. The grease can then be filled into the handheld grease gun after passing through the pump oil pipe joint until it is full and then automatically overflows back to the oil tank. When the handheld grease gun needs to be used, directly remove the handheld grease gun and add grease to the lubrication points that need to be manually lubricated. There is no need to purchase grease separately or purchase a temporary grease filling device separately. After use, directly place the handheld grease gun back in place and dock the gun oil pipe joint with the pump oil pipe joint, and the lubrication pump can be relied on to replenish the grease again. In summary, it has the following advantages:
[0012] 1. There is no need to purchase grease separately, and it can be directly filled by relying on the lubrication pump, avoiding the trouble of purchasing grease;
[0013] 2. The grease gun does not need to be filled with grease by itself, reducing the waiting time, and the lubrication pump automatically replenishes the grease for the grease gun during the idle time of the grease gun;
[0014] 3. It can not only perform centralized lubrication, but also perform temporary emergency manual lubrication in case of failure, and can also manually add grease to some points that cannot be automatically centrally lubricated;
[0015] 4. It is very convenient to use. It can be picked up and used when needed, and it is in an automatic replenishment state when not in use.
[0016] Furthermore, a piston is provided in the grease storage tube, and a push rod that can extend out of the grease storage tube is connected to the piston, and the push rod is arranged downward. When the grease storage tube is full of grease, the piston drives the push rod to extend and push the placement seat, so that the hand-held refueling gun is separated from the detection area of the detection module. The detection module feeds back to the monitor, and the monitor controls the electronically controlled switching valve to discharge grease from the first grease outlet. The setting of the grease storage tube and the push rod is equivalent to setting a high liquid level detection module and a high liquid level closing execution module when the grease storage tube is full, so that the grease storage tube can be automatically separated from the set position of the placement seat after being full, so that the detection module cannot detect the grease storage tube, and then the electronically controlled switching valve can be controlled by the monitor to automatically close the grease filling oil circuit and switch back to centralized lubrication.
[0017] Furthermore, a magnet is provided at the bottom of the fat storage tube, and the detection module is a magnetic induction sensor. Through the cooperation of the magnetic induction sensor and the magnet, non-contact detection can be performed, which is not easily blocked or disturbed by the environment and is more stable and reliable.
[0018] Furthermore, the electrically controlled switching valve is a two-position three-way solenoid valve.
[0019] Furthermore, the pressure relief module is a relief valve or a safety valve or a pressure reducing valve. Since the pressure pumped out by the lubrication pump is generally high, and the bearing capacity of the grease storage tube of the handheld refueling gun is very limited, in order to prevent the high-pressure grease from filling into the grease storage tube and causing the tube to burst, a safety valve, a pressure regulating valve or a pressure reducing valve can be set to reduce the outlet pressure and ensure the safety of the grease storage tube.
[0020] Furthermore, the detection sensor includes at least one of a pressure sensor, a mechanical limit switch, a laser beam sensor, and an infrared sensor.
[0021] Furthermore, a one-way valve is provided on the pump oil pipe joint. When the gun oil pipe joint is connected to the pump oil pipe joint, the one-way valve is turned on. When the gun oil pipe joint is disconnected from the pump oil pipe joint, the one-way valve is closed to prevent the grease from flowing out of the pump oil pipe joint. Since the grease is relatively viscous even after the lubrication pump is shut down, it takes time to relieve the pressure. If the gun oil pipe joint is directly disconnected from the pump oil pipe joint, the grease in the pump oil pipe joint and the oil pipe in front of it will still be under pressure, causing the grease to flow out of the pump oil pipe joint, polluting the environment and wasting the grease. The one-way valve can avoid this problem by opening the channel when filling the grease and immediately closing the channel when the joint is disconnected.
[0022] Furthermore, the lubrication pump includes a power module for powering the lubrication pump, the power module is connected to a pump electrical connector via wires, the handheld refueling gun is an electric refueling gun, includes a rechargeable battery, the charging port of the rechargeable battery is connected to a gun electrical connector for charging the rechargeable battery of the handheld refueling gun, and the gun electrical connector and the pump electrical connector can be quickly connected and disassembled.
[0023] The technical solution of the lubricating pump of the present utility model is as follows:
[0024] The lubricating pump includes an oil tank, a monitor and a pumping mechanism. The pumping mechanism can suck the lubricant from the oil tank and pump it out. An electrically controlled switching valve is connected to the outlet of the pumping mechanism. The electrically controlled switching valve includes a grease inlet and first and second grease outlets. The electrically controlled switching valve can control the grease inlet to be only communicated with one of the first and second grease outlets. The first grease outlet is used to connect to the grease supply pipeline of the centralized lubrication system, and the second grease outlet is connected with a pump oil pipe joint. A pressure reducing and overflow module is arranged between the second grease outlet and the pump oil pipe joint. The pressure reducing and overflow module is communicated with the oil tank so as to perform pressure reducing and overflow when the pressure exceeds the set value. The lubricating pump includes a placement seat for placing a hand-held grease gun. A detection module for detecting whether the hand-held grease gun is placed in place is arranged on the placement seat. After the hand-held grease gun is placed on the placement seat, the detection module feeds back a signal to the monitor, and the monitor controls the electrically controlled switching valve to switch to the second grease outlet for grease output.
[0025] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: During use, under normal circumstances, the lubricating pump defaults to pumping grease to the distributor through the first grease outlet, and then the distributor distributes it to each lubrication point to achieve centralized lubrication. When the hand-held grease gun is placed on the placement seat, the detection module can detect that the hand-held grease gun is placed in place, feed it back to the monitor, and control the electrically controlled switching valve to switch to the second grease outlet for grease output. The grease can then be used to fill the hand-held grease gun through the pump oil pipe joint until it is full and then automatically overflows back to the oil tank. When the hand-held grease gun needs to be used, directly remove the hand-held grease gun and add grease to the lubrication points that need manual lubrication. There is no need to purchase grease separately or purchase a temporary grease filling device separately. After use, directly place the hand-held grease gun back in place and dock the gun oil pipe joint with the pump oil pipe joint, and the lubricating pump can be relied on to replenish the grease again. In summary, it has the following advantages:
[0026] 1. There is no need to purchase grease separately, and it can be directly filled by relying on the lubricating pump, avoiding the trouble of purchasing grease;
[0027] 2. There is no need to fill the grease gun manually, reducing the waiting time, and the lubricating pump automatically replenishes the grease for the grease gun during the idle time of the grease gun;
[0028] 3. It can not only perform centralized lubrication, but also perform temporary emergency manual lubrication in case of failure, and can also manually add grease to some points that cannot be automatically centrally lubricated;
[0029] 4. It is very convenient to use. It can be picked up and used when needed, and it is in an automatic replenishment state when not in use.
[0030] Furthermore, the electrically controlled switching valve is a two-position three-way solenoid valve.
[0031] Furthermore, the pressure relief module is a relief valve or a safety valve or a pressure reducing valve. Since the pressure pumped out by the lubrication pump is generally high, and the bearing capacity of the grease storage tube of the handheld refueling gun is very limited, in order to prevent the high-pressure grease from filling into the grease storage tube and causing the tube to burst, a safety valve, a pressure regulating valve or a pressure reducing valve can be set to reduce the outlet pressure and ensure the safety of the grease storage tube.
[0032] Furthermore, the detection sensor includes at least one of a pressure sensor, a mechanical limit switch, a laser beam sensor, and an infrared sensor.
[0033] Furthermore, a one-way valve is provided on the pump oil pipe joint. When the gun oil pipe joint is connected to the pump oil pipe joint, the one-way valve is turned on. When the gun oil pipe joint is disconnected from the pump oil pipe joint, the one-way valve is closed to prevent the grease from flowing out of the pump oil pipe joint. Since the grease is relatively viscous even after the lubrication pump is shut down, it takes time to relieve the pressure. If the gun oil pipe joint is directly disconnected from the pump oil pipe joint, the grease in the pump oil pipe joint and the oil pipe in front of it will still be under pressure, causing the grease to flow out of the pump oil pipe joint, polluting the environment and wasting the grease.

[0035] The technical solution of the handheld refueling gun of the utility model is as follows:
[0036] The handheld fuel gun includes:
[0037] A grease storage pipe, used for storing lubricant, including an inlet and an outlet;
[0038] The gun oil pipe joint is communicated with the inlet of the grease storage pipe and is used for quickly docking with the pump oil pipe joint of the lubrication pump to receive the lubricant from the lubrication pump.
[0039] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: It can be used in combination with a lubricating pump and has an interface for docking with the lubricating pump. Under normal circumstances, the electric control switching valve of the lubricating pump supplies grease to the distributor through the first grease outlet for centralized lubrication. When the hand-held grease gun is placed on the placement seat, the electric control switching valve switches to supply grease through the second grease outlet to fill the hand-held grease gun until it is full and then automatically overflows back to the fuel tank. When the hand-held grease gun is needed, simply remove the hand-held grease gun and apply grease to the lubrication points that require manual lubrication. There is no need to purchase additional grease or temporary grease filling equipment separately. After use, directly place the hand-held grease gun back in place and dock the gun oil pipe connector with the pump oil pipe connector, and it can rely on the normal lubrication of the lubricating pump while replenishing grease for it. In summary, it has the following advantages:
[0040] 1. There is no need to purchase additional grease separately, and it can be directly filled by relying on the lubricating pump, avoiding the trouble of buying grease;
[0041] 2. The grease gun does not need to be filled with grease by itself, reducing the waiting time, and the lubricating pump automatically replenishes grease for the grease gun during its idle time;

[0044] Furthermore, a piston is provided in the grease storage tube, and a push rod that can extend out of the grease storage tube is connected to the piston. The push rod is arranged downward. When the grease storage tube is full of grease, the piston drives the push rod to extend and can push the placement seat, so that the hand-held grease gun is separated from the detection area of the detection module of the lubricating pump. Through the setting of the grease storage tube and the push rod, it is equivalent to setting a high liquid level detection module and a high liquid level closing execution module when the grease storage tube is full, so that the grease storage tube can be automatically separated from the set position of the placement seat after being full, so that the detection module cannot detect the grease storage tube, and then the electric control switching valve can be controlled by the monitor to automatically close the grease filling oil circuit and switch back to centralized lubrication.
[0045] Furthermore, a magnet is provided at the lower part of the grease storage tube.
[0046] Furthermore, the hand-held grease gun is an electric grease gun, including a rechargeable battery.

When the handheld grease gun 1 is placed in place, the reed switch can detect it and feedback it to the monitor 25. The monitor 25 can then control the electric control switching valve 24 to switch to the second grease outlet for greasing, so as to fill the handheld grease gun 1 with grease.
[0078] In this embodiment, a piston 111 is slidably and sealingly assembled in the grease storage pipe 11. A push rod 112 that can extend out of the grease storage pipe 11 is connected to the piston 111. The push rod 112 is arranged downward. When the rodless cavity of the grease storage pipe 11 is filled with grease, the piston 111 drives the push rod 112 to extend and push the placement seat 212, so that the hand-held grease gun 1 is separated from the detection area of the reed switch. The detection module feeds back to the monitor 25, and the monitor 25 controls the electric control switching valve 24 to discharge grease from the first grease outlet, and continues centralized lubrication. Through the settings of the grease storage pipe 11 and the push rod 112, it is equivalent to setting a high liquid level detection module and a high liquid level closing execution module when the grease storage pipe 11 is full, so that after being full, the grease storage pipe 11 can automatically be separated from the set position of the placement seat 212, so that the detection module cannot detect the grease storage pipe 11. Furthermore, the electric control switching valve 24 can be controlled by the monitor 25 to automatically close the grease filling oil circuit and switch back to centralized lubrication. The electric control switching valve 24 in this embodiment is a two-position three-way solenoid valve. The pressure reducing and overflow module is an overflow valve 26 or a safety valve or a pressure reducing valve 5. Since the pressure pumped out by the lubricating pump 2 is generally relatively large, and the load-bearing capacity of the grease storage pipe 11 of the hand-held grease gun 1 is very limited. In order to prevent the high-pressure grease from being filled into the grease storage pipe 11 and causing the pipe to burst, after setting the safety valve, pressure regulating valve or pressure reducing valve 5, the outlet pressure can be reduced to ensure the safety of the grease storage pipe 11.
[0079] A check valve is provided on the pump oil pipe joint 210. When the gun oil pipe joint 12 is connected to the pump oil pipe joint 210, the check valve is turned on. When the gun oil pipe joint 12 is separated from the pump oil pipe joint 210, the check valve is closed to prevent the grease from flowing out of the pump oil pipe joint 210. Since even after the lubricating pump 2 stops, due to the high viscosity of the grease, it takes time to relieve the pressure. If the gun oil pipe joint 12 is directly disconnected from the pump oil pipe joint 210, the grease in the pump oil pipe joint 210 and the oil pipe in front of it still has pressure and the grease will flow out of the pump oil pipe joint 210, which will pollute the environment and waste grease. Setting the check valve can avoid this problem, opening the channel during grease filling and immediately closing the channel when disconnecting the joints.
[0080] In this embodiment, the electric control switching valve is a two-position three-way solenoid valve, and it can also be replaced by other valves that can achieve one-to-two switching.
[0081] In use, under normal circumstances, the lubricating pump 2 defaults to pumping grease to the distributor or lubricating pipeline through the first grease outlet, and then the grease is distributed to each lubricating point by the distributor to achieve centralized lubrication. When the hand-held grease gun 1 is placed on the placement seat 212, the docking of the gun and pump oil pipe joints and the connection of the gun and pump electrical connectors can be achieved manually or automatically. The detection module (reed switch) can detect that the hand-held grease gun 1 is placed in place (the magnet is sensed by the reed switch), and feedback to the monitor 25 to control the electro-hydraulic switching valve 24 to switch to the second grease outlet for grease output. The grease can then pass through the pump oil pipe joint 210 to fill the hand-held grease gun 1 until it is full and then automatically overflows back to the fuel tank 21. At the same time when it is full, the piston 111 in the grease storage tube 11 moves to the end, causing the ejector rod 112 to extend to the longest distance. The ejector rod 112 pushes the placement seat 212, causing the hand-held grease gun 1 to lift, and the magnet on the hand-held grease gun 1 to move out of the sensing range of the reed switch, and feedback to the monitor 25. The monitor 25 can then control the electro-hydraulic switching valve 24 to automatically switch to the first grease outlet for grease output; when the hand-held grease gun 1 needs to be used, directly remove the hand-held grease gun 1 and add grease to the lubricating points that need manual lubrication. There is no need to purchase additional grease or additional temporary grease filling equipment. After use, directly place the hand-held grease gun 1 back in place and dock the gun oil pipe joint 12 with the pump oil pipe joint 210, and the lubricating pump 2 can be relied on to replenish the grease again.
[0082] In this embodiment, the pump oil pipe joint 210 and the gun oil pipe joint 12 are quick oil pipe joints, which are plug-and-play and convenient to disassemble and assemble. The pump electrical connector 211 and the gun electrical connector 13 are quick electrical connectors, also plug-and-play and convenient to disassemble and assemble.
[0083] When the centralized lubrication system is working, relying on the forward and reverse rotation of the pump motor 22, the two-position four-way valve 281 is controlled to switch different valve positions to achieve the alternating grease output of the main oil circuits 4A and B. After the grease passes through the double-line distributor 32 and the progressive distributor 31 for distribution, it reaches each friction pair through the lubricating branch pipeline.
[0084] Embodiment 2 of the centralized lubrication system of the present utility model: As Figure 3 shown, this system is a single-line centralized lubrication system. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that a two-position three-way valve 282 is provided in its lubricating pump 2, there is only one main oil circuit 4, and a plurality of single-line distributors 33 are connected to the main oil circuit 4. When the single-line system is working, it needs to unload after working once and then rest.
[0085] Embodiment 3 of the centralized lubrication system of the present utility model: As Figure 4As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that there is only one main oil passage 4 in this system, and the two-position four-way valve 281 is not provided in the lubricating pump 2. A master progressive distributor 31 is provided on this main oil passage 4, and a slave progressive distributor 31 is connected to the oil outlet of the master progressive distributor 31 through a pipeline. When the lubricating pump 2 is started during operation, grease will be discharged from this main oil passage 44 and the corresponding distributors, and no grease will be discharged after the lubricating pump 2 stops.
[0086] Embodiment 4 of the centralized lubrication system of the present utility model: As Figure 5 shown, this centralized lubrication system is a double-line progressive system with a double-line pump and two sets of progressive distributors 31. The system includes a lubricating pump 2, a hand-held grease gun 1, and multiple progressive distributors 31. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that each of the two main oil passages 4 is provided with a master progressive distributor 31 and a slave progressive distributor 31 connected to the oil outlet of the master progressive distributor 31. When the two main oil passages 4 discharge oil alternately, the corresponding progressive distributors 31 on the two main oil passages 44 will discharge oil alternately.
[0087] Embodiment of the hand-held grease gun of the present utility model: It has the same structure as the hand-held grease guns in the above-mentioned centralized lubrication system, and will not be elaborated herein.
[0088] Embodiment of the combined lubrication device of the present utility model: The combined lubrication device includes a lubricating pump and a hand-held grease gun.
