[0030] The technical solution of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation manners.
[0031] See Figures 1 to 3 , the diversion device provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes an oil receiving assembly 1 and an oil guiding assembly 2. Among them, the oil receiving assembly 1 includes an oil receiving tray 11 and an oil flow pipe 12. The oil receiving tray 11 is detachably connected to the slider and is directly opposite to the oil outlet end of the punching machine equipment. An oil outlet 112 is opened at the bottom of the oil receiving tray 11; the input end of the oil flow pipe 12 is connected to the oil receiving tray 11 and communicates with the oil outlet 112; the oil guiding assembly 2 includes an oil guiding pipe 21 and an oil storage barrel 22. An oil receiving port is opened at the top of the oil storage barrel 22. Part of the oil guiding pipe 21 is inserted into the oil receiving port and is detachably connected to the oil storage barrel 22. The output end of the oil flow pipe 12 communicates with the oil guiding pipe 21, and part of the oil flow pipe 12 is inserted into the oil guiding pipe 21 and is slidably connected to the oil guiding pipe 21.
[0032] When the punching machine is working, it will drive the slider to reciprocate vertically, thereby driving the oil receiving tray 11 and the oil flow pipe 12 to reciprocate synchronously. Among them, the movement height range of the slider is the maximum stroke length of the punching machine. The guide oil pipe 21 is placed on the oil storage barrel 22 and remains stationary. During use, the lubricating oil flowing out of the punching machine drips onto the oil receiving tray 11 from the oil outlet end. The lubricating oil flows into the oil flow pipe 12 through the oil outlet 112, then flows through the guide oil pipe 21, and finally flows into the oil storage barrel 22. When the waste lubricating oil in the oil storage barrel 22 reaches the replacement height, directly pick up the guide oil pipe 21. At this time, the guide oil pipe 21 is still sleeved outside the oil flow pipe 12. After replacing the empty oil receiving tray, insert the guide oil pipe 21 into the oil receiving tray again to continue the oil receiving work.
[0033] For the diversion device proposed by the present utility model, an oil outlet 112 is opened at the bottom of the oil receiving tray 11 and connected to the oil flow pipe 12, enabling the lubricating oil in the oil receiving tray 11 to be smoothly diverted, avoiding the problem of excessive accumulation and overflow in the oil receiving tray 11, and reducing the burden on the operator to frequently clean the oil receiving tray 11. Secondly, by setting the guide oil pipe 21 and the oil storage barrel 22, and the oil flow pipe 12 is connected to the guide oil pipe 21, the diversion of the lubricating oil to the oil storage barrel 22 for centralized storage is realized. In the actual operation process, even if the operator forgets to clean the oil storage barrel 22, the lubricating oil will only overflow from the oil receiving port of the oil storage barrel 22 and drip to a safe position such as the ground, avoiding the adverse impact of the lubricating oil dripping on the equipment or the steel belt on the product and the environment, and improving the cleanliness of the production environment and the stability of the product quality. In addition, the sliding connection between the oil flow pipe 12 and the guide oil pipe 21 and the detachable connection design of the relevant components make the entire device more convenient and flexible in installation, maintenance and replacement, can adapt to different punching machines and working scenarios, and improve the versatility and practicality of the device. In summary, the diversion device proposed by the present utility model effectively solves the problems existing in the prior art, such as the small capacity of the oil receiving tray 11, easy overflow and troublesome cleaning, providing a reliable guarantee for the production of the column products of the stereoscopic warehouse shelves.
[0034] It can be understood that the above-mentioned punching machine is only an embodiment, and the diversion device provided by the present utility model can also be applied to other mechanical equipment that requires lubricating oil, such as machine tools and drilling machines, and only needs to be adjusted adaptively to be used, which is not limited here.
[0035] The specific structure of the diversion device will be described below.
[0036] In this embodiment, the oil receiving tray 11 includes an integrally formed base and an edge. The edge surrounds the outer periphery of the base to form an oil receiving space, and the oil outlet 112 is arranged on the base. Mounting holes 111 are opened on the side wall of the oil receiving tray 11 to facilitate connecting the oil receiving tray 11 to the slider through devices such as bolts and pins. The shape of the oil receiving tray 11 can be rectangular or circular, which is not limited here.
[0037] To prevent leakage at the oil outlet 112, a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the flow oil pipe 12 and the oil outlet 112, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the oil receiving assembly 1.
[0038] To ensure that all the lubricating oil in the oil receiving tray 11 can flow into the oil storage tank, the base is inclined upward from the oil outlet 112 to the surroundings, so that the lubricating oil can flow out of the oil outlet 112 under the action of gravity and will not adhere to the inside of the oil receiving tray 11.
[0039] Regarding the specific structure of the flow oil pipe 12. The flow oil pipe 12 extends in an L shape. The flow oil pipe 12 includes a horizontally extending section 121 and a vertically extending section 122 integrally formed. One end of the horizontally extending section 121 is the input end, and the other end of the horizontally extending section 121 extends away from the punching machine equipment. One end of the vertically extending section 122 is connected to the horizontally extending section 121, and the other end of the vertically extending section 122 is the output end. The L-shaped design of the flow oil pipe 12 enables the lubricating oil to smoothly flow from the horizontally extending section 121 to the vertically extending section 122, ensuring the rationality and efficiency of the flow path. The horizontally extending section 121 can smoothly export the lubricating oil in the oil receiving tray 11 and extend away from the punching machine equipment, avoiding interference with other parts of the punching machine equipment, improving the space utilization rate, and also better connecting with the subsequent vertically extending section 122. The setting of the vertically extending section 122 facilitates the insertion of the flow oil pipe 12 into the guide oil pipe 21 and sliding connection with the guide oil pipe 21, ensuring the continuity and stability of the flow process.
[0040] More specifically, in order to facilitate the smooth connection between the horizontally extending section 121 and the oil receiving tray 11 and the guide oil pipe 21, elbows 123 are provided at both ends of the horizontally extending section 121. One end of the horizontally extending section 121 is connected to the oil outlet 112 through the elbow 123, and the other end of the horizontally extending section 121 is connected to the guide oil pipe 21 through the elbow 123.
[0041] In other embodiments, the flow oil pipe 12 can also be set to an S shape, a straight shape, etc., and is selected according to the actual situation, which is not limited here.
[0042] Regarding the oil guide pipe 21. The outer periphery of the oil guide pipe 21 is fixedly connected with a limit plate 23, which can abut against the top of the oil storage barrel 22. The setting of the limit plate 23 plays a role in positioning and fixing the oil guide pipe 21, ensuring the stability of the connection between the oil guide pipe 21 and the oil storage barrel 22, and preventing the oil guide pipe 21 from shaking or shifting during operation. The oil guide pipe 21 is divided into a connecting section 211 and an extending section 212. The connecting section 211 is located on the upper side of the limit plate 23, and the oil flow pipe 12 is inserted in the connecting section 211; the extending section 212 is located on the lower side of the limit plate 23, and the extending section 212 is inserted in the oil receiving port. The oil guide pipe 21 is divided into a connecting section 211 and an extending section 212, so that the oil flow pipe 12 can be accurately inserted into the connecting section 211 for good docking and diversion, and the extending section 212 can be smoothly inserted into the oil receiving port. This segmented design improves the accuracy and adaptability of the connection and further optimizes the path and effect of the diversion.
[0043] Specifically, the length of the extension section 212 is greater than or equal to 10 cm, which ensures the stability of the entire flow-guiding device during operation, helps maintain the smooth and continuous flow of the lubricating oil, and does not cause flow interruption or failure due to shaking or tipping of the oil-guiding pipe 21. At the same time, the sufficiently long extension section 212 also enhances the reliability and safety of the entire flow-guiding device, reduces accidents that may be caused by the instability of the oil-guiding pipe 21, and thus better achieves effective flow guidance and collection of the lubricating oil.
[0044] Specifically, the length of the connecting section 211 is greater than or equal to the maximum distance of a single unidirectional movement of the slider in the vertical direction, ensuring that the oil flow pipe 12 can always smoothly and synchronously reciprocate in the connecting section 211 of the oil guide pipe 21 during the reciprocating motion of the slider in the vertical direction. The oil flow pipe 12 will not be separated from the oil guide pipe 21 due to the movement of the slider, thereby preventing waste lubricating oil from flowing outside and maintaining a clean and safe working environment.
[0045] Specifically, when the slider moves to the lowest position, the bottom end of the oil flow pipe 12 is higher than the top of the oil storage barrel 22. When the oil storage barrel 22 needs to be replaced, because the bottom end of the oil flow pipe 12 is higher than the top of the oil storage barrel 22, it will not interfere with the oil storage barrel 22. The operator can easily remove or replace the oil storage barrel 22 without being hindered by the oil flow pipe 12, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of replacing the oil storage barrel 22.
[0046] It is understandable that the actual lengths of the various parts of the oil flow pipe 12 and the oil guide pipe 21 need to be adaptively selected according to different equipment and different working conditions, and are not limited here.
[0047] Regarding the oil storage barrel 22, an oil discharge port is provided at the bottom of the oil storage barrel 22, and a control valve is provided on the oil discharge port. The control valve can open or close the oil discharge port. The setting of the oil discharge port facilitates the export of the lubricating oil collected in the oil storage barrel 22 for subsequent treatment or utilization, improving the convenience of operation. The control valve can precisely control the opening and closing of the oil discharge port. When oil discharge is required, the control valve can be conveniently opened for oil discharge operation, while when oil discharge is not required, the oil discharge port can be reliably closed to prevent accidental leakage of lubricating oil. It can be understood that the control valve selects existing mechanical equipment, and its working principle and specific structure will not be elaborated here.
[0048] Specifically, a cover plate 221 is detachably provided at the top of the oil storage barrel 22. An oil receiving port is provided on the cover plate 221. The cover plate 221 is used to open or close the internal space of the oil storage barrel 22. The detachable cover plate 221 enables the cover plate 221 to be conveniently detached when it is necessary to clean, maintain or pour out the lubricating oil inside the oil storage barrel 22, providing a convenient operation method and ensuring the good condition inside the oil storage barrel 22. When it is not necessary to operate inside the oil storage barrel 22, the cover plate 221 can close the internal space of the oil storage barrel 22, effectively preventing foreign impurities from entering the oil storage barrel 22 when not necessary, maintaining the purity of the lubricating oil inside the oil storage barrel 22, and also reducing the volatilization and pollution of the lubricating oil to a certain extent.
[0049] Regarding the specific connection method between the cover plate 221 and the oil storage barrel 22, it can be bolt connection, snap connection or magnetic attraction connection, etc., which is not limited here, as long as the detachable connection between the two is ensured. In other embodiments, the cover plate 221 can also be set to be hinged or rotationally connected to the oil storage barrel 22, etc., which will not be elaborated here.
[0050] More specifically, moving wheels are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the oil storage barrel 22, thereby improving the mobility of the oil storage barrel 22, facilitating the movement of the oil storage barrel 22 between different positions, facilitating the handling and position adjustment of the oil storage barrel 22, and saving labor costs and time costs.
[0051] The above embodiments only elaborate the basic principles and characteristics of the present invention. The present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, there are various changes and modifications to the present invention, and these changes and modifications all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
