[0030] Example
[0031] like Figure 1-4As shown, a self-lubricating camshaft proposed in this embodiment includes a camshaft body 1, the camshaft body 1 includes a shaft body 2 and a plurality of cams 3, and the cams 3 are fixedly sleeved on the shaft body 2, an oil storage cavity 4 is provided inside the shaft body 2, a plurality of connecting holes 5 are opened on the shaft body 2, a cavity 6 is provided inside the cam 3, an oil inlet hole 7 is opened on the cam 3, a fixing block 8 and a connecting block 9 are provided on the inner wall of the cavity 6, and the connecting block 9 is fixedly installed in the cavity 6. When the camshaft body 1 rotates, the centrifugal force will cause the connecting block 9 to move toward the direction close to the fixing block 8. A spring 10 is fixedly connected between the fixing block 8 and the connecting block 9, and the connecting block 9 and the cavity are connected. 6 inner wall fits together, and the spring 10 is compressed and deformed under force. At this time, the oil inlet hole 7 is in an open state, and the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 4 enters the cavity 6 after passing through multiple connecting holes 5 and the oil inlet hole 7. A first oil outlet hole 11 and second oil outlet holes 12 symmetrically distributed about the first oil outlet hole 11 are provided on the cam 3. Finally, the lubricating oil is discharged from the first oil outlet holes 11 and the second oil outlet holes 12 on the multiple cams 3, thereby lubricating the surface of the cam 3, slowing down the wear rate of the cam 3 during rotation, and extending its service life. When the camshaft body 1 stops rotating, the elastic force of the spring 10 makes the connecting block 9 fit together with the inner wall of the cavity 6, blocking the oil inlet hole 7.
[0032] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting hole 5 is connected to the oil storage chamber 4, and the two ends of the oil inlet hole 7 are respectively connected to the connecting hole 5 and the cavity 6. When the camshaft body 1 rotates, the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 4 passes through multiple connecting holes 5 and the oil inlet hole 7 and enters the cavity 6 due to the action of centrifugal force.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the first oil outlet hole 11 and the second oil outlet hole 12 are both connected to the cavity 6 , and the lubricating oil is eventually discharged from the first oil outlet hole 11 and the second oil outlet hole 12 on the plurality of cams 3 to lubricate the surface of the cam 3 .
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a threaded hole 13 is formed at one end of the shaft body 2 , and a connecting bolt 14 is installed in the threaded hole 13 . The connecting bolt 14 is removed from the threaded hole 13 to facilitate the injection of lubricating oil into the oil storage chamber 4 .
[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the diameter of the oil inlet hole 7 is larger than the diameter of the connecting hole 5.
[0036] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the number of the connecting holes 5 is the same as the number of the cams 3 .
[0037] Specifically, when the self-lubricating camshaft is in use: when the camshaft body 1 rotates, the centrifugal force causes the connecting block 9 to move toward the fixed block 8, and the spring 10 is compressed and deformed under force. At this time, the multiple oil inlet holes 7 are in an open state, and the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 4 enters the multiple cavities 6 after passing through the multiple connecting holes 5 and the oil inlet holes 7, and finally the lubricating oil is discharged from the first oil outlet holes 11 and the second oil outlet holes 12 on the multiple cams 3, thereby lubricating the surface of the cam 3, slowing down the wear rate of the cam 3 during rotation, extending its service life, and being more practical.
[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although this specification has described the present invention in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific implementation methods. Therefore, any modification or equivalent replacement of the present invention; and all technical solutions and improvements thereof that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
