Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of lubricating oil devices for fan reducers, and in particular relates to an air charging and oil changing pipeline for a fan reducer. Background Art
[0002] Steel mill air separation units are equipped with large rotating equipment, including air compressors, oxygen product compressors, and nitrogen product compressors. These compressors provide kinetic energy to the gaseous medium and also generate a certain amount of heat. The compressors are equipped with circulating water coolers, which utilize heat exchange between the circulating water and the high-temperature gaseous medium to improve compressor efficiency and ensure operational safety. The circulating water returns to the circulating water tank, where the heat carried by the water is dissipated into the atmosphere through the fan and filler.
[0003] The fan reducer used in the circulating water pool is equipped with dedicated pipelines for filling and draining lubricating oil. Valve operation allows for the discharge of old lubricating oil and the addition of new oil. This is fundamental to the daily maintenance of the fan reducer. However, lubricating oil is relatively viscous and has poor fluidity, making refilling time relatively long. The reducer for the cooling fan in the circulating water pool uses ISO VG220 lubricant, which relies on the natural flow of the lubricating oil, making refilling time lengthy.
[0004] Therefore, a fan reducer air charging and oil changing pipeline is proposed. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0020] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0021] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, a fan reducer air filling and oil exchange pipeline includes a reducer 3, which can reduce the speed of the motor 8 and increase the output torque. The reducer 3 is provided with a transmission shaft 4 on the top, which is responsible for transmitting power. The transmission shaft 4 is provided with a fan blade 1 on the top of the transmission shaft 4. The fan blade 1 generates airflow through rotation to promote the cooling effect.
[0022] The bottom of the transmission shaft 4 is connected to a gear 5, which transmits power through meshing to ensure normal operation of the equipment. A power shaft 7 is meshed with the gear 5, which is connected to a motor 8. Motor 8 provides driving force to ensure continuous and stable power output. The power shaft 7 connects the gear 5 and the motor 8, transmitting power and providing an efficient power transmission path.
[0023] A lubricating oil pipe 6 is provided at the bottom of the reducer 3. This pipe delivers lubricating oil to the reducer for lubrication, ensuring a timely supply of lubricating oil and reducing wear. A drain port 12 is provided at the end of the lubricating oil pipe 6, which serves as a discharge port for the lubricating oil. A connecting pipe 21 extends from the lubricating oil pipe 6, which is equipped with an oil level sight glass 10. This sight glass displays the lubricating oil level, facilitating oil level monitoring and preventing poor lubrication due to insufficient oil.
[0024] The connecting pipe 21 serves as a connection to facilitate maintenance. The end of the connecting pipe 21 is provided with a connecting thread, which facilitates the connection of the end of the connecting pipe 21 to other components. The connecting pipe 21 is connected to the refueling pipe 20, and the refueling pipe 20 is connected to the refueling measuring cylinder 18. The refueling measuring cylinder 18 accurately measures the amount of lubricating oil added to avoid overfilling and reduce oil waste. The refueling pipe 20 provides a convenient refueling channel to improve refueling efficiency. The top of the refueling measuring cylinder 18 is provided with an oil filling port 17. The oil filling port 17 is the injection port for lubricating oil, which is convenient for adding lubricating oil. One side of the refueling measuring cylinder 18 is connected to the instrument air pipe 22, and the instrument air pipe 22 is connected to the air source. Filling with gas ensures smooth pneumatic oiling and improves oiling efficiency.
[0025] Motor 8 generates power, which rotates fan blades 1 through the action of drive shaft 7, gear 5 inside reducer 3, and drive shaft 4. This increases air flow through the circulating water pool, enhances heat exchange between air and circulating water, and cools the circulating water. The circulating water pool fan requires regular lubrication changes according to the maintenance plan. Use ISO VG220 industrial gear oil, with a maximum lubrication volume of 60L. Maintenance consists of two steps: shutting down the machine to drain the oil and then refilling with fresh oil.
[0026] The oil draining step of the fan reducer is to drain the oil immediately after the shutdown. In this way, the residual temperature of the lubricating oil in the working state is relied on to maintain the good fluidity of the lubricating oil, which is especially important in winter.
[0027] The following is a detailed description of the design of the above key components:
[0028] The reducer 3 is provided with an exhaust hole 2 on one side. The exhaust hole 2 exhausts gas, preventing gas accumulation, effectively reducing the internal pressure of the reducer 3, and ensuring the smooth flow of lubricating oil. The exhaust hole 2 of the reducer 3 keeps the internal pressure of the reducer 3 equal to the ambient atmospheric pressure.
[0029] The oil drain port 12 is provided with an oil collecting bucket 13, which collects the discharged lubricating oil, thereby avoiding lubricating oil waste and facilitating environmentally friendly disposal. The lubricating oil pipe 6 is provided with an oil drain ball valve 11, which controls the opening and closing of the lubricating oil pipe 6 to discharge the lubricating oil, facilitate regular maintenance, and reduce maintenance costs.
[0030] The end of the connecting pipe 21 is provided with a dust cap 9 to prevent external debris from entering the connecting pipe 21 . The connecting pipe 21 is covered by the dust cap 9 when refueling is not required.
[0031] A refueling ball valve 19 is provided on the refueling pipe 20. The refueling ball valve 19 controls the opening and closing of the refueling pipe 20.
[0032] The oil filling port 17 is provided with a sealing cover 16. The sealing cover 16 can close the oil filling port 17 to prevent impurities from entering, thereby keeping the internal lubricating oil pure and extending the service life of the lubricating oil.
[0033] The instrument gas pipe 22 is provided with a stop valve 14 and a filter pressure reducing valve 15 . The stop valve 14 controls the opening and closing of the instrument gas pipe 22 . The filter pressure reducing valve 15 can filter the gas in the instrument gas pipe 22 and reduce the pressure to a suitable working pressure.
[0034] Example 2, as shown in Example 1, a fan reducer air filling and oil changing pipeline has the following implementation methods:
[0035] (1) Stainless steel is used to make the refueling measuring cylinder 18. The top of the refueling measuring cylinder 18 is designed with an oil filling port 17 and a well-sealed sealing cover 16, and the two are connected by a rotary thread; secondly, the top of the measuring cylinder is connected to an instrument air pipe 22, the diameter of the instrument air pipe 22 is 6mm, and the instrument air pipe 22 is designed with a stop valve 14 and a filter pressure reducing valve 15. The pressure reducing valve controls the inflation pressure of the instrument air to 50kPa, and the filtered and decompressed instrument air is connected to the top of the refueling measuring cylinder 18. In addition, a refueling pipe 20 with a diameter of 20mm is designed at the bottom of the refueling measuring cylinder 18, and a refueling ball valve 19 is designed. A threaded connection method is designed between the refueling pipe 20 and the connecting pipe 21 to maintain good airtightness at the connection. The placement height of the refueling measuring cylinder 18 is flush with the pipe connection thread of the connecting pipe 21, or slightly higher than the connecting pipe 21.
[0036] (2) Operation method of filling and oiling. First, open the sealing cap 16 of the oil filling port 17 at the top of the filling cylinder 18 and fill the qualified lubricating oil into the filling cylinder 18. Rotate the sealing cap 16 to seal it; second, check and confirm that the exhaust hole 2 of the reducer 3 is in the open state and the oil drain ball valve 11 is in the closed state; third, rotate the joint to connect the filling pipe 20 to the connecting pipe 211; fourth, open the stop valve 14 of the instrument air pipe 22 and introduce the power air source into the filling cylinder 18. Under the regulation of the filter pressure reducer, control the internal pressure of the filling cylinder 18 to 45-50kPa. The pressure data of the internal pressure of the filling cylinder 18 can be tracked by the pressure gauge on the filter pressure reducer; fifth, control the speed of the lubricating oil entering the reducer 3 by operating the filling ball valve 19 at the bottom of the filling cylinder 18. When the oil level in the oil level sight glass 10 drops, it means that the lubricating oil in the cylinder has been filled. At this time, close the filling ball valve 19 at the bottom of the filling cylinder 18. According to the refueling amount of the reducer 3, add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the refueling cylinder 18 and refill it; Sixth, after the lubricating oil is filled, close the exhaust hole 2 of the reducer 3 and tighten the connecting pipe 21 with the dust cap 9.
[0037] (3) The method of quantitative refueling with a measuring cylinder can effectively prevent oil overflow caused by excessive oil filling. During the refueling process of the reducer 3, you should also always pay attention to the exhaust hole 2 of the reducer 3 to prevent accidental oil overflow and waste.
