Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air compressors, in particular to a rotating shaft used for an air compressor. Background Art
[0002] An air compressor, also known as an air compressor, is a device used to compress gas. Its primary function is to convert the mechanical energy of a prime mover into the pressure energy of air. It is the core component of an air source device. By compressing gas, an air compressor can produce high-pressure gas to meet the needs of various equipment and projects.
[0003] Existing air compressors usually rotate by the internal rotating shaft, driving the bearings, gears and rotors (such as Figure 1 The air is compressed by the rotating shaft (as shown in the figure). To ensure that the rotating shaft and the bearings, gears and rotors installed on the rotating shaft can run smoothly, the staff usually add lubricating oil to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, so that the lubricating oil flows along the outer surface of the rotating shaft to the bearings, gears and rotors, and finally forms a lubricating film on the surface, which not only makes the machine run smoothly, but also can reduce the temperature of internal parts.
[0004] The existing method of adding lubricating oil is usually to add it directly to the outside of the rotating shaft. This method not only requires stopping the equipment during oiling, but also causes a large amount of oil to adhere to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, causing dripping and evaporation, resulting in resource waste. To this end, we have proposed a rotating shaft for air compressors to effectively address the above drawbacks. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] See also Figures 1-6 A rotating shaft for an air compressor includes a rotating shaft body 1, which is open at both ends and has a hollow interior. Bearings, gears, and rotors are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft body 1 so that staff can inject lubricating oil into the interior from both sides of the rotating shaft body 1. Two guide grooves 2 are provided on the side wall of the rotating shaft body 1 along the axial direction, and the two guide grooves 2 are symmetrically distributed. The rotating shaft body 1 is provided with oil outlet holes 3 that connect the guide grooves 2 with the interior of the rotating shaft body 1; each guide groove 2 has a corresponding number of oil outlet holes 3, and the oil outlet holes 3 are symmetrically distributed so that the lubricating oil inside the rotating shaft body 1 can flow into the guide groove 2 through the oil outlet holes 3, and then be guided to the outside of the rotating shaft body 1 by the guide groove 2. Compared with adding lubricating oil directly from the outside, the present application can store lubricating oil, reduce the number of times lubricating oil is added, and enable the machine to add lubricating oil at any time during operation, thereby improving the working efficiency of the air compressor.
[0026] In order to enable the staff to control the oil discharge time according to demand, the present application has a plugging assembly 4 that is movably and slidably connected in the oil outlet 3. The plugging assembly 4 includes a piston 401 that is slidably connected in the oil outlet 3. The piston 401 is in a frustum shape so that the piston 401 can enter the oil outlet 3 more smoothly. The piston 401 is used to control the on / off state of the oil outlet 3, so that the staff can control the on / off state of the oil outlet 3 by controlling the movement of the piston 401.
[0027] Other structures of the blocking component 4 are described below:
[0028] A connecting block 402 is fixedly provided at one end of the piston 401 facing the center of the rotating shaft 1 . The connecting block 402 is in a U-shape, and a sliding block 403 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the connecting block 402 .
[0029] Furthermore, a driving assembly 5 is slidingly provided in the rotating shaft 1 , and the driving assembly 5 is used to drive the two opposite blocking assemblies 4 to move closer to or away from each other. The driving assembly 5 drives the blocking assemblies 4 to move by driving the slider 403 .
[0030] Specifically, the drive assembly 5 includes a slide plate 501 that slides axially along the rotating shaft 1. The slide plate 501 is provided with an arc-shaped slot 502, and the slider 403 is slidably connected to the slot 502. When the slider 403 is at the end of the slot 502, the connecting block 402 and the piston 401 are close to the outside of the rotating shaft 1. At this time, the piston 401 is completely located in the oil outlet 3, so that the piston 401 can block the oil outlet 3, thereby closing the oil outlet 3. When the slider 403 is in the middle of the slot 502, that is, as the slide plate 501 moves, the slider 403 gradually moves to the middle of the slot 502. During this process, the slot 502 drives the two opposing sliders 403 to move closer to each other, thereby bringing the connecting blocks 402 and the piston 401 on both sides closer to each other. The larger side of the piston 401 will move away from the oil outlet 3, leaving the oil outlet 3 open, thereby allowing the oil in the rotating shaft 1 to enter the oil outlet 3, ultimately achieving the operation of adding lubricating oil to the outside of the rotating shaft 1.
[0031] In order to enable the staff to control the switch of the oil outlet hole 3 when the machine is running, the present application fixes a control rod 503 at one end of the slide 501, and the control rod 503 extends to the outside of the rotating shaft 1, so that the staff can move the slide 501 by pulling or pushing the control rod 503, thereby causing the slide groove 502 to drive the slider 403 to move, and then causing the piston 401 to start moving, thereby realizing the control of the switch of the oil outlet hole 3.
[0032] Furthermore, an anti-slip block 6 is fixedly provided at a position on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 1 near the oil outlet 3, and the anti-slip block 6 is sleeved on the outside of the piston 401. The piston 401 and the anti-slip block 6 are slidably connected so that the larger side of the piston 401 will enter the encirclement of the anti-slip block 6 when leaving the oil outlet 3, and the anti-slip block 6 is composed of four blocks arranged in a circle, so that the anti-slip block 6 will not affect the entry of lubricating oil into the oil outlet 3. At the same time, when the piston 401 needs to return to the oil outlet 3, the slide groove 502 is prevented from causing the blocking component 4 to shift as a whole, thereby preventing the piston 401 from being unable to be inserted directly into the oil outlet 3.
[0033] Sealing covers 7 are fixedly installed at the openings at both ends of the rotating shaft body 1. The control rod 503 passes through the sealing cover 7 on one side, and the control rod 503 and the sealing cover 7 are slidably connected to prevent the lubricating oil inside the rotating shaft body 1 from leaking.
[0034] The working principle and usage process of the present invention are as follows: First, when using the rotating shaft body 1, the bearings, gears and rotors are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft body 1 so that the rotating shaft body 1 can drive the bearings, gears and rotors to rotate. Then, the sealing cover 7 on one side of the rotating shaft body 1 is opened, and lubricating oil is injected into the interior of the rotating shaft body 1 for storage, or an oil guide pipe is used to extend into the rotating shaft body 1 for adding oil.
[0035] When the compressor is running, the rotating shaft 1 begins to rotate. At this time, the staff can pull or push the control lever 503 to move the slide 501. At this time, the slider 403 in the slide groove 502 will be driven to move. When the slider 403 moves from the end of the slide groove 502 to the middle position, the two opposing sliders 403 will approach each other, thereby driving the connecting blocks 402 and the piston 401 on both sides to approach each other, and then the piston 401 will leave the oil outlet 3. At this time, the lubricating oil in the rotating shaft 1 will enter the oil outlet 3, and the oil outlet 3 will transport the lubricating oil to the guide groove 2. The guide groove 2 will guide the lubricating oil along the path to various parts of the outside of the rotating shaft 1. Finally, the lubricating oil will form a lubricating film on the surface of the rotating shaft 1, bearings, gears and rotor, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the compressor and cooling the interior, avoiding waste caused by excessive oil addition from the outside. Storing lubricating oil inside the rotating shaft 1 reduces the number of oil additions and improves the working efficiency of the device.
[0036] At the same time, when lubricating oil needs to be added to the rotating shaft 1, the machine can be kept running without stopping. The oil guide tube can be inserted into the rotating shaft 1 to make the rotating shaft 1 and the sealing cover 7 rotate outside the guide tube. At this time, adding oil through the oil guide tube does not affect the operation of the machine.
[0037] Finally, when the oil outlet hole 3 needs to be closed, the above steps are performed by pulling or pushing the control rod 503 in the reverse direction to control the slide plate 501 to move in the reverse direction to close the oil outlet hole 3, which is easy to operate.
