[0030] In order to help those skilled in the art better understand the present invention, 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 should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] As described in the background technology, traditional chain lubrication methods mainly rely on manual operations, such as applying grease regularly. Although these methods can meet the lubrication needs of the chain to a certain extent, they have many shortcomings. First, manual lubrication is difficult to ensure uniform lubrication of all parts of the chain. Second, regular lubrication requires a lot of manpower and is labor-intensive.
[0032] In order to solve this technical problem, the utility model provides a transmission chain self-lubricating device, which is used for lubricating the transmission chain.
[0033] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1-4 , the transmission chain self-lubricating device specifically includes:
[0034] The storage box 1 is used to store lubricating substances. A mounting frame 4 is detachably mounted in the storage box 1. At least three guide wheels 401 are provided on the mounting frame 4. The guide wheels 401 are used to guide the transmission chain through the storage box 1 to achieve immersion lubrication of the transmission chain by the lubricating substance.
[0035] The transmission chain self-lubricating device provided by the present invention guides the transmission chain into the storage box 1 through the guide wheel 401 through the provided mounting frame 4 and the guide wheel 401, so that the transmission chain can be immersed in the lubricating substance, thereby realizing automatic lubrication of the transmission chain. Since the transmission chain is immersed in the lubricating substance, it can ensure that each link of the transmission chain is fully lubricated, reducing the need for manual regular lubrication and lowering maintenance costs.
[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features and technical solutions therein can be combined with each other.
[0038] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.
[0039] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-4 , a transmission chain self-lubricating device, including a storage box 1, the storage box 1 is used to store lubricating material, the storage box 1 is detachably provided with a mounting frame 4, the mounting frame 4 is provided with at least three guide wheels 401, the guide wheels 401 are used to guide the transmission chain through the storage box 1 to achieve immersion lubrication of the transmission chain by the lubricating material, and the lubricating material can be lubricating grease; the present application guides the transmission chain into the storage box 1 through the guide wheels 401 by providing the mounting frame 4 and the guide wheels 401, so that the transmission chain can be immersed in the lubricating material, thereby achieving automatic lubrication of the transmission chain. Since the transmission chain is immersed in the lubricating material, it can ensure that each link of the transmission chain is fully lubricated, reducing the need for manual regular lubrication and reducing maintenance costs.
[0040] Further, such as Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the mounting bracket 4 is detachably mounted in the storage box 1 by means of bolts. After removing the bolts, the mounting bracket 4 can be taken out of the storage box 1 so as to connect the transmission chain to the guide wheel 401 externally.
[0041] Example 2 further optimizes the transmission chain self-lubricating device provided in Example 1. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, a magnet 5 is installed at the bottom of the storage box 1. The magnet 5 is used to absorb iron filings in the lubricating substance to the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage box 1 to reduce the situation where iron filings float in the lubricating substance.
[0042] Furthermore, the magnet 5 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the storage box 1 by means of bolts. This arrangement allows the magnet 5 to be removed first when cleaning the iron filings, so as to facilitate cleaning of the iron filings.
[0043] Example 3 further optimizes the transmission chain self-lubricating device provided in Example 1 or 2. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, both sides of the storage box 1 are provided with notches 101, and the notches 101 are used for the entry and exit of the transmission chain.
[0044] Further, such as Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, a collection box 2 is provided on one side of the storage box 1. Two cleaning brushes 203 are installed in the collection box 2 by bolts. The two cleaning brushes 203 are used to clean the transmission chain before it enters the storage box 1 to reduce the contamination of lubricating grease by residual dirt on the transmission chain.
[0045] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, a limiting seat 201 is installed at the bottom of the collection box 2, and a limiting frame 202 is provided on the outer surface of the limiting seat 201. The limiting frame 202 is installed on the side of the storage box 1. The limiting seat 201 cooperates with the limiting frame 202 to support the collection box 2. After unscrewing the bolts connecting the cleaning brush 203, the collection box 2 is pulled upward to separate the collection box 2 from the limiting frame 202, and the collection box 2 can be taken out to facilitate cleaning of the collection box 2. The two cleaning brushes 203 are arranged one above and one below.
[0046] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, a reflux box 3 is fixedly installed on the other side of the storage box 1. The reflux box 3 is connected to the storage box 1 and is used to collect lubricating substances dripping from the transmission chain.
[0047] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, two brushes 301 are installed in the reflux box 3 by bolts. The setting of the brush 301 can, on the one hand, spread the lubricating material of the transmission chain more evenly, and on the other hand, can brush off the excess lubricating material on the transmission chain to reduce the waste of lubricating material. The two brushes 301 are set up one above and one below.
[0048] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a protective cover 102 is installed on the top of the storage box 1 through a hinge, and a mounting hole 103 is also opened on the storage box 1. The mounting hole 103 is used to protect the top of the storage box 1.
[0049] The use process of the transmission chain self-lubricating device provided by the utility model is as follows:
[0050] After passing the bolts through the mounting holes 103, install the storage box 1 to the corresponding position in the escalator. First, remove the mounting frame 4, the upper cleaning brush 203 and the upper brush 301, pass the transmission chain through the lower cleaning brush 203, the gap 101, the guide wheel 401 and the lower brush 301, then put the mounting frame 4 back into the storage box 1, and fix the mounting frame 4 in the storage box 1 with bolts, install the upper cleaning brush 203 and the upper brush 301, add lubricating grease to the storage box 1, and the moving direction of the transmission chain is from the collection box 2 to the reflux box 3. The transmission chain is first cleaned by the two cleaning brushes 203, and then enters the storage box 1 to contact the lubricating grease, and then passes through the brush 301. The dripping lubricating grease brushed off by the brush 301 falls into the reflux box 3 and flows back to the storage box 1.
