Generally, it cooperates with a paired gear or rack to achieve the transmission function. The rotation of the gear is inseparable from lubrication. Without sufficient lubrication, it will cause great damage to the gear and reduce the service life of the gear.

[0003] The existing gears are mainly lubricated by manually adding lubricating oil to the meshing parts of the gears regularly. It needs to be realized by injecting with tools. The whole process is too cumbersome, and it cannot ensure timely lubrication of the gears, affecting the life of the gears.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the utility model provides a gear with a self-lubricating function. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a gear with a self-lubricating function. The lubricating oil inside the oil storage cavity is absorbed to the surface of the tooth by the first oil-absorbing cotton strip and the second oil-absorbing cotton strip for lubrication, realizing the self-lubricating effect of the gear. Then, the movement of two clamping plates is controlled by a moving rod, realizing the effect of controlling the oil outlet, solving the problem that the existing gears generally add lubricants externally, improving the service life of the gears, and thus solving the problems in the background technique.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A gear with a self-lubricating function, including a gear disc. The outer side surface of the gear disc is formed with protruding teeth in an array. A plurality of oil storage cavities are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction inside the gear disc. An oil outlet is arranged on the inner wall of the oil storage cavity close to the tooth. An oil outlet groove communicating with the oil outlet is arranged on the inner side surface of the tooth. A first oil-absorbing cotton strip is arranged inside the oil storage cavity. One end of the first oil-absorbing cotton strip is arranged inside the oil outlet and fixedly connected to two second oil-absorbing cotton strips. The second oil-absorbing cotton strips are arranged inside the oil outlet groove. Symmetric clamping plates are arranged on both inner walls of the oil outlet. Two symmetric first springs are arranged at the end of the clamping plate far from the oil outlet. A U-shaped moving plate is arranged on the side surface of the clamping plate close to the oil outlet. Symmetric partition blocks are arranged on both sides of the first oil-absorbing cotton strip. One end of the partition block is provided with a moving rod. The end of the moving rod far from the partition block passes through the gear disc and is located between two teeth. A second spring is sleeved on the outer side surface of the moving rod inside the gear disc.

[0007] Furthermore, two symmetric rectangular grooves are formed on the inner side of the oil storage cavity close to the teeth. The clamping plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove. Sliding grooves are formed on both inner walls of the rectangular groove. Sliders are fixedly connected to both sides of the clamping plate, and the sliders are slidably connected to the inside of the sliding grooves. A rectangular opening communicating with the oil outlet is formed at one end of the rectangular groove close to the oil outlet, and the clamping plate can pass through the rectangular opening to clamp the first oil-absorbing cotton strip.

[0008] Furthermore, two symmetric support rods are fixedly connected to the side of the U-shaped moving plate close to the clamping plate. One end of the support rod away from the U-shaped moving plate is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate. The side of the partition block contacts the opposite sides of the two U-shaped moving plates. One end of the moving rod is fixedly connected to the side of the partition block. A cylindrical cavity is formed inside the gear disk. The moving rod passes through the cylindrical cavity and is slidably connected to its inner wall. One end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical cavity away from the teeth, and the end of the second spring close to the teeth is fixedly connected to the side of the ring. The ring is located inside the cylindrical cavity and the inner wall of the ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the moving rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the second oil-absorbing cotton strip is fixedly attached to the inner wall of the oil outlet groove, and the outer side of the second oil-absorbing cotton strip is higher than the outer side of the teeth.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the end of the clamping plate away from the oil outlet, and the end of the first spring away from the clamping plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the rectangular groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the partition block is conical in shape.

[0012] Furthermore, a refueling pipe communicating with the outside is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the oil storage cavity, and a sealing cover is fixedly connected to the outer end of the refueling pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] A gear with self-lubricating function provided by the utility model, when in use, when two gears are meshed, the teeth on one side of the gear disk squeeze the moving rod on the other gear, driving the moving rod to move towards the center of the gear disk and squeezing the second spring through the circular ring. The movement of the moving rod drives the partition block to move, and the movement of the partition block drives the two U-shaped moving plates to move away from each other. The two U-shaped moving plates drive the two clamping plates to move away from each other and squeeze the first spring. The two clamping plates leave the oil outlet and loosen the first oil-absorbing cotton strip. The first oil-absorbing cotton strip will absorb the lubricating oil inside the oil storage cavity and transmit it to the second oil-absorbing cotton strip. The meshed teeth of the two gear disks will squeeze the second oil-absorbing cotton strip to squeeze out the lubricating oil inside it, and evenly apply the overflowing lubricating oil to the teeth of the gear set, achieving the effect of automatic lubrication. When the moving rod is not squeezed, the second spring will drive the moving rod away from the center of the gear disk and return to its original position. The first spring will also use its own elastic force to push the clamping plate into the oil outlet through the rectangular opening. The two clamping plates move in the same direction to clamp the first oil-absorbing cotton strip, preventing the first oil-absorbing cotton strip from continuing to absorb lubricating oil and transmitting it to the second oil-absorbing cotton strip, achieving the effect of controlling the oil output, solving the problem that existing gears generally add lubricants externally, and improving the service life of the gears.

[0023] 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.

[0024] In order to solve the technical problem that the existing gears are mainly lubricated by the method of manually regularly injecting lubricating oil into the meshing parts of the gears, which needs to be realized by means of tool injection, the whole process is too cumbersome, and it cannot ensure timely lubrication of the gears, affecting the service life of the gears, as Figures 1-7 shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0025] A gear with self-lubricating function includes a gear disc 1. The outer side surface of the gear disc 1 is formed with protruding teeth 2 in an array. A plurality of oil storage cavities 3 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction inside the gear disc 1. An oil outlet 4 is opened on the inner wall of the oil storage cavity 3 close to the teeth 2. An oil groove 5 communicating with the oil outlet 4 is opened on the inner side surface of the teeth 2. A first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6 is arranged inside the oil storage cavity 3. One end of the first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6 is arranged inside the oil outlet 4 and fixedly connected to two second oil-absorbing cotton strips 7. The second oil-absorbing cotton strips 7 are arranged inside the oil groove 5. Symmetrically arranged clamping plates 11 are arranged on the inner side walls on both sides of the oil outlet 4. Two symmetrically arranged first springs 13 are arranged at one end of the clamping plate 11 away from the oil outlet 4. A U-shaped moving plate 15 is arranged on the side surface of the clamping plate 11 close to the oil outlet 4. Symmetrically arranged partition blocks 16 are arranged on both sides of the first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6. One end of the partition block 16 is provided with a moving rod 17. The end of the moving rod 17 away from the partition block 16 passes through the gear disc 1 and is located between two teeth 2. A second spring 20 is sleeved on the outer side surface of the moving rod 17 inside the gear disc 1.

[0026] Specifically, during use, when two gears are engaged, the teeth 2 on one side of the gear disk 1 squeeze the moving rod 17 on the other side of the gear disk 1, driving the moving rod 17 to move towards the center of the gear disk 1 and squeezing the second spring 20. The movement of the moving rod 17 drives the movement of the partition block 16, and the movement of the partition block 16 drives the two U-shaped moving plates 15 to move away from each other. The two U-shaped moving plates 15 drive the two clamping plates 11 to move away from each other and squeeze the first spring 13. The two clamping plates 11 move away from the oil outlet 4 and loosen the first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6. The first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6 will absorb the lubricating oil inside the oil storage cavity 3 and transmit it to the second oil-absorbing cotton strip 7. The meshing teeth 2 of the two gear disks 1 will squeeze the second oil-absorbing cotton strip 7 to squeeze out the lubricating oil inside it, and evenly apply the overflowing lubricating oil to the teeth 2 of the gear set, achieving the effect of automatic lubrication. When the moving rod 17 is not squeezed, the second spring 20 will drive the moving rod 17 to move away from the center of the gear disk 1 and return to its original position. The first spring 13 will also use its own elastic force to push the clamping plate 11 into the oil outlet 4. The two clamping plates 11 move in the same direction to clamp the first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6, preventing the first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6 from continuing to absorb lubricating oil and transmitting it to the second oil-absorbing cotton strip 7, achieving the effect of controlling the oil output. The purpose of this design is to absorb the lubricating oil inside the oil storage cavity 3 to the surface of the teeth 2 through the first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6 and the second oil-absorbing cotton strip 7 for lubrication, realizing the self-lubrication effect of the gear. Then, by controlling the movement of the two clamping plates 11 through the moving rod 17, the effect of controlling the oil output is achieved, solving the problem that existing gears generally add lubricants externally, and improving the service life of the gears.

A rectangular opening 9 communicating with the oil outlet 4 is provided at one end of the rectangular groove 8 close to the oil outlet 4. The clamping plate 11 can pass through the rectangular opening 9 to clamp the first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6. The purpose of this design is that through the rectangular opening 9, the sliding clamping plate 11 can enter the oil outlet 4 to clamp the first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6 and cut off the transmission path of the first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6, achieving the effect of controlling the oil output and prolonging the self-lubrication time of the gear.

[0029] Further, as Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

The side of the partition block 16 contacts the opposite sides of the two U-shaped moving plates 15. One end of the moving rod 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the partition block 16. A cylindrical cavity 18 is formed inside the gear disc 1. The moving rod 17 passes through the cylindrical cavity 18 and is slidably connected to its inner wall. One end of the second spring 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical cavity 18 away from the tooth 2, and the end of the second spring 20 close to the tooth 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the ring 19.

[0032] The second oil-absorbing cotton strip 7 is fixedly attached to the inner wall of the oil outlet groove 5. The outer side of the second oil-absorbing cotton strip 7 is higher than the outer side of the tooth 2. The purpose of this design is to fix the second oil-absorbing cotton strip 7 on the side of the tooth 2 through the oil outlet groove 5, and then squeeze out the lubricating oil in the second oil-absorbing cotton strip 7 to achieve the self-lubricating effect.

[0033] Further, as Figure 5 shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0034] One end of the first spring 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the clamping plate 11 away from the oil outlet 4, and the end of the first spring 13 away from the clamping plate 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the rectangular groove 8.

The purpose of this design is to fill the oil storage cavity 3 through the fuel filling pipe 21, and the sealing cover 22 closes the outlet end of the fuel filling pipe 21 to prevent oil leakage.

[0039] In summary, during use, when the two gears are engaged, the teeth 2 on one side of the gear disk 1 squeeze the moving rod 17 on the other gear, driving the moving rod 17 to move towards the center of the gear disk 1 and squeezing the second spring 20 through the ring 19. The movement of the moving rod 17 drives the movement of the partition block 16, and the movement of the partition block 16 drives the two U-shaped moving plates 15 to move away from each other. The two U-shaped moving plates 15 drive the two clamping plates 11 to move away from each other and squeeze the first spring 13. The two clamping plates 11 move away from the oil outlet 4 and release the first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6. The first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6 will absorb the lubricating oil inside the oil storage cavity 3 and transfer it to the second oil-absorbing cotton strip 7. The meshing teeth 2 of the two gear disks 1 will squeeze the second oil-absorbing cotton strip 7 to squeeze out the lubricating oil inside it, and evenly apply the overflowing lubricating oil to the teeth 2 of the gear set, achieving the effect of automatic lubrication. When the moving rod 17 is not squeezed, the second spring 20 will drive the moving rod 17 to move away from the center of the gear disk 1 and return to its original position. The first spring 13 will also use its own elastic force to push the clamping plate 11 into the oil outlet 4 through the rectangular opening 9. The two clamping plates 11 move in the same direction to clamp the first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6, preventing the first oil-absorbing cotton strip 6 from continuing to absorb lubricating oil and transferring it to the second oil-absorbing cotton strip 7, achieving the effect of controlling the oil output, solving the problem that existing gears generally add lubricant externally, and improving the service life of the gears.
