Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel belt granulators and automatic lubrication, in particular to an automatic grease filling system for a steel belt granulator. Background Art

[0002] Steel belt granulators are large-scale machines commonly used in industries such as fertilizers, petrochemicals, and fine chemicals. They typically operate in high temperatures and experience frequent operation. Lubrication of granulator bearings is a key factor in ensuring stable operation and extending equipment life. Under these high-temperature and high-speed operating conditions, bearing lubrication is generally required daily to prevent bearing damage and subsequent equipment downtime due to insufficient lubrication.

[0003] Traditional lubrication methods rely on operators manually adding grease, a method that presents serious safety risks. Operators performing grease filling operations in high-temperature environments are susceptible to burns, and there is a risk of crushing injuries or even death, posing a significant threat to personal safety. Furthermore, manual grease filling poses challenges such as difficulty in accurately controlling grease dosage and unstable filling cycles, increasing equipment maintenance complexity and operating costs.

[0004] While some automatic grease filling devices exist in the prior art, these devices are typically designed for use with lightly loaded, low-speed, or normal-temperature machinery and are not suitable for the high-temperature, high-speed operating conditions of steel belt pelletizers. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a system that can safely, accurately, and automatically fill grease bearings in steel belt pelletizers under these conditions. This system would reduce operator safety risks, improve lubrication efficiency and equipment reliability, and reduce maintenance costs, thereby effectively addressing the technical issues presented in the aforementioned background art.

[0026] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a storage tank 1 stores grease; an oil delivery mechanism is connected to the output end of the storage tank 1 and the lubrication point of the steel belt granulator 2, respectively, and delivers the grease from the storage tank 1 to the lubrication point; a control mechanism is connected to the storage tank 1, and controls the pressure within the storage tank 1 to control the delivery of grease by the oil delivery mechanism. The oil delivery mechanism and the control mechanism enable automatic grease filling, eliminating the risks and inaccuracies of manual operation and improving lubrication efficiency.

[0027] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the oil delivery mechanism includes an oil delivery pipe 31 and a first quick-change connector 32. The ends of the oil delivery pipe 31 are connected to the output end of the storage tank 1 and the lubrication point of the steel strip pelletizer 2, respectively, ensuring that grease can be accurately and accurately added to the designated location. The first quick-change connector 32 is installed at both ends of the oil delivery pipe 31 to improve connection stability and enable quick connection and disconnection of the oil delivery pipe 31 to the storage tank 1 and the lubrication point, improving ease of use. Furthermore, multiple oil delivery pipes 31 can be provided to connect multiple lubrication points of the steel strip pelletizer 2.

[0028] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the control mechanism includes: an electrical control box 41, an instrument air duct 42, and a pressure gauge 43; the instrument air duct 42 is connected to the storage tank 1 and delivers compressed air into the storage tank 1 to drive the flow of grease; the pressure gauge 43 is installed on the storage tank 1 and monitors the pressure within the storage tank 1; the electrical control box 41 is connected to the pressure gauge 43 and the instrument air duct 42, and the electrical control box 41 receives the detection data from the pressure gauge 43 and controls the opening and closing of the instrument air duct 42. The electrical control box 41, the instrument air duct 42, and the pressure gauge 43 can control the pressure in the storage tank 1, thereby achieving automatic grease filling; the electrical control box 41 can be connected to the factory's central control room via wired or wireless means to achieve centralized control.

[0029] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the control mechanism further includes: a liquid level meter 44, which is arranged on the storage tank 1 and connected to the electrical control box 41. The liquid level meter 44 monitors the liquid level in the storage tank 1. When the liquid level drops to a set value, the liquid level meter 44 feeds back to the electrical control box 41 to remind the replenishment of grease.

[0033] Working Principle: At the set filling time, the electronic control box 41 activates the air valve in the instrument air duct 42, directing compressed air into the storage tank 1. At this point, the barometer 43 begins monitoring the grease pressure. Once the pressure reaches the set value, the valve of the first quick-change connector 32 opens, and the grease is automatically added to the granulator's bearings and other lubrication points through the oil pipe 31. After filling is completed, the system automatically stops, closes the air valve and valve, and waits for the next filling cycle.
