Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of lubrication system heating technology, and in particular to a small heating device for the end of an oil circuit of a lubrication system. Background Art

[0002] The lubrication system oil circuit is an indispensable part of mechanical equipment. Its main function is to form an oil film between moving parts to reduce direct contact between metal surfaces, reduce friction and wear, thereby improving mechanical efficiency and extending equipment life. In addition, lubricating oil can also carry away the heat generated by friction through circulation, helping to maintain the equipment within a reasonable temperature range and avoid damage caused by overheating. However, with the diversification of industrial production environments, especially in extreme climatic conditions, the performance of lubrication systems faces new challenges. In particular, in cold environments, the dynamic viscosity of lubricating oil increases significantly, resulting in poor fluidity and affecting the normal operation of equipment. To address this problem, the industry currently generally adopts a variety of measures to ensure the smooth flow of lubricating oil. Common methods include using low-viscosity lubricants, adding antifreeze, regularly changing lubricants, and preheating the lubricants. Specifically, using low-viscosity lubricants can reduce viscosity at low temperatures, but this is costly and has limited applicability. Adding antifreeze can improve lubricant fluidity to a certain extent, but may affect the lubricant's chemical properties. Regular lubricant replacement, while effective, is cumbersome and expensive in practice. Preheating, a more direct method, uses an external heating device to heat the lubricant to restore it to a suitable working state. However, existing preheating methods often suffer from uneven heating and high energy consumption. While these methods can alleviate lubricant fluidity issues at low temperatures to some extent, they still have some shortcomings. For example, the use of low-viscosity lubricants and antifreeze can increase operating costs and adversely affect lubricant performance. Regular lubricant replacement is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also increases equipment maintenance costs. While existing preheating methods can increase lubricant temperature, the problems of uneven heating and high energy consumption remain unresolved. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a small heating device that can efficiently and evenly heat lubricant at low temperatures to ensure smooth lubricant flow and maintain proper equipment operation.

[0004] The present application provides a small heating device for the end of the oil circuit of a lubrication system, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A small heating device for the end of the oil circuit of a lubrication system includes an oil pipe and a brush assembly, and also includes a heating joint body. The heating joint body is installed on the oil pipe, and the heating joint body is slidably installed on the oil pipe.

The oil pipe is arranged through the through hole, and the heating element is installed in the installation groove. The annular heater is sleeved on the oil pipe and has a clearance fit with the oil pipe.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the heating joint body is installed on the oil pipe and can slide along the oil pipe, so that the heating position can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the heating effect is evenly distributed; an annular heater is provided in the heating joint body, and the annular heater is sleeved on the oil pipe and matched with the oil pipe gap.

[0025] An embodiment of the present application discloses a small heating device for the end of an oil circuit of a lubrication system.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a small heating device for the end of the oil circuit of the lubrication system includes an oil pipe, a brush assembly, and a heating structure body. The heating joint body 3 is installed on the oil pipe 1, and a double-tapered ferrule 4 is installed at one end of the oil pipe 1. A locking groove 21 is provided on the oil outlet body. The end of the oil pipe 1 equipped with the double-tapered ferrule 4 is installed in the locking groove 21. The heating joint body 3 is slidably connected to the oil pipe 1. A tightening block 5 is provided on the heating joint body 3. The tightening block 5 is located between the heating joint body 3 and the double-tapered ferrule 4. The outer surface of the tightening block 5 is provided with an external thread, and the inner side wall of the locking groove 21 is correspondingly provided with an internal thread. The tightening block 5 can be threadedly connected in the locking groove 21 and tightened against the double-tapered ferrule 4. A heating element 6 is provided in the heating joint body 3. The oil pipe 1 is locally heated by the heating element 6, so that the lubricating oil can still maintain good fluidity under low temperature conditions.

[0027] A screwing portion 7 is provided on the outer surface of the lower end of the heating joint body 3. The cross section of the screwing portion 7 is set to be polygonal. The design of the screwing portion 7 makes it easy for the user to manually screw the tightening block 5, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0028] The heating element 6 includes an annular heater 61, a temperature controller 62 and a temperature sensor 63. A through hole is provided on the heating joint body 3, and a mounting groove 31 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole. The oil pipe 1 is provided through the through hole, and the heating element 6 is installed in the mounting groove 31. The annular heater 61 is sleeved with the oil pipe 1 and has a clearance fit with the oil pipe 1. This clearance fit ensures that the annular heater 61 evenly heats the lubricating oil in the oil pipe 1. In the embodiment of the present application, the annular heater 61 adopts a ceramic annular heater 61. The ceramic annular heater 61 is adopted because it has excellent insulation and stability, high heating efficiency and long service life. The ceramic annular heater 61 has a wide operating temperature range and is suitable for various harsh environments, especially cold climates, and can maintain a stable heating effect.

[0029] The ring heater 61 is configured as a ceramic ring heater 61. The ceramic ring heater 61 has excellent insulation and high-temperature resistance, making it suitable for long-term continuous operation. The shape of the ceramic ring heater 61 can be circular, square, or other geometric shapes, depending on the actual installation space. The thickness of the ceramic ring heater 61 can be adjusted based on the required heating power; generally, a thickness between 1 and 3 mm is suitable.

[0030] Among them, the material of the ring heater 61 can be selected as a carbon fiber ring heater 61. The carbon fiber ring heater 61 has the characteristics of light weight, high strength and good thermal conductivity, and is particularly suitable for use in high-performance equipment such as aerospace, high-speed trains, etc. The thickness of the carbon fiber ring heater 61 can be adjusted according to the required heating power, and is generally more suitable between 0.5-2mm. The shape of the carbon fiber ring heater 61 can be flat, wavy or other special shapes, and the specific shape should be selected according to the actual installation space. For example, the flat carbon fiber ring heater 61 is suitable for narrow spaces, and the wavy carbon fiber ring heater 61 is suitable for occasions that require a large surface area for heat transfer.

[0031] The shape of the annular heater 61 can also be set to a spiral shape. The spiral annular heater 61 can increase the contact area with the oil pipe 1 and improve the heating efficiency. The pitch and diameter of the spiral annular heater 61 should be adjusted according to actual needs. Generally, a pitch between 1-5mm and a diameter between 2-10mm are more suitable. The spiral annular heater 61 can be installed by welding, bonding or embedding. The specific method should be selected according to the actual working conditions. For example, welding is suitable for high temperature and high pressure environments, bonding is suitable for low temperature and low pressure environments, and embedding is suitable for occasions that require frequent disassembly and assembly.

[0032] The annular heater 61 can also be installed magnetically. The magnetic annular heater 61 is adsorbed on the oil pipe 1 by magnets, and no additional fixing device is required, making it very convenient to install and disassemble. The magnet material of the magnetic annular heater 61 can be selected from neodymium iron boron magnets or samarium cobalt magnets, both of which have strong magnetic force and stable performance. The shape of the magnetic annular heater 61 can be a circular ring, a rectangular strip or other geometric shape, and the specific shape should be selected according to the actual installation space. During the installation of the magnetic annular heater 61, attention should be paid to the polarity of the magnet to obtain the best adsorption effect.

[0033] A deep hole 32 is opened on the inner wall of the mounting groove 31, and the temperature sensor 63 is installed in the deep hole 32. The temperature sensor 63 and the annular heater 61 are electrically connected to the temperature controller 62 through a wire. The gap between the temperature sensor 63, the annular heater 61 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 31 is filled with thermal conductive silicone.

[0034] The thermostat 62 can set the upper and lower limits of the heating temperature. When the temperature of the lubricating oil in the oil pipe is lower than the set lower limit, the thermostat 62 automatically starts the annular heater. When the temperature reaches the set upper limit, the thermostat 62 automatically stops the annular heater. This can avoid overheating and extend the service life of the heating element.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the end face of the clamping block 5 facing the double-taper ferrule 4 is provided with a clamping groove 51, and the clamping groove 51 is arranged corresponding to the double-taper ferrule 4 to ensure the sealing between the heating joint body 3 and the oil pipe 1 and avoid leakage of lubricating oil. The clamping groove 51 is arranged as an inclined groove and is arranged to be inclined outward from the side adjacent to the oil pipe 1 to the side away from the oil pipe 1. At the same time, in other embodiments, the inclined groove can be set as a trapezoidal groove and a V-groove. The use of the trapezoidal groove can make the clamping block 5 easier to embed into the double-taper ferrule 4, thereby improving assembly efficiency. The V-groove can enhance the sealing effect to a greater extent because it can apply pressure over a wider area. The design of the wedge groove focuses more on realizing the self-locking function during the assembly process, that is, as the pressure of the heating joint body 3 increases, the wedge groove can better bite the double-taper ferrule 4, thereby improving the reliability of the connection.

[0036] The embodiment of this application describes a small heating device for the end of a lubrication system oil circuit. The principle of operation is as follows: by installing a heating connector body 3 on an oil pipe 1 and integrating a heating element 6 within the heating connector body 3, the operation of the entire lubrication system is no longer affected by low temperatures. The selection of heating element 6 not only improves heating efficiency but also balances safety and cost-effectiveness. A rational structural design ensures the device's tightness and avoids problems such as lubricant leakage caused by uneven heating.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
