[0028] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figure is a schematic structural diagram of a grease injection device 100 according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the grease injection device 100 includes a grease gun barrel 1, a sealing grease delivery unit 2, and a hydraulic oil delivery unit 3. The grease gun barrel 1 includes a main body 11 having a cylindrical structure and a piston 12 disposed within the main body 11 and configured to slide along the axial direction of the main body 11. The main body 11 includes a first end 111 and a second end 112. The sealing grease delivery unit 2 includes a sealing grease delivery pipe 21 configured to communicate with the first end 111 of the main body 11. The hydraulic oil delivery unit 3 includes a hydraulic oil delivery pipe 31 configured to communicate with the second end 112 of the main body 11.

[0030] During the specific operation, the staff connects the sealing grease delivery pipe 21 to the external sealing grease source, and the sealing grease is added to the interior of the main body 11 through the sealing grease delivery pipe 21. As the sealing grease is gradually added, the sealing grease pushes the piston 12 to move downward continuously until the interior of the main body 11 is filled with sealing grease or the amount of sealing grease added reaches the expected amount. Afterwards, the staff disconnects the connection between the sealing grease source and the sealing grease delivery pipe 21, connects the sealing grease delivery pipe 21 to the equipment to be greased using connecting components such as high-pressure hoses, and connects the external hydraulic source to the hydraulic oil delivery pipe 31. Afterwards, the staff turns on the external hydraulic source, and the hydraulic oil enters the interior of the main body 11 and pushes the piston 12 upward. The sealing grease inside the main body 11 is pushed by the piston 12 and injected into the equipment to be greased through the sealing grease delivery pipe 21 to perform the grease injection operation. After a single grease injection operation is completed, the external hydraulic source is turned off, and the above steps are repeated to achieve grease injection operations on different equipment to be greased.

[0031] Through this design, electric hydraulic injection of sealing grease is achieved, which improves the automation and work efficiency of the grease injection operation, reduces the labor intensity of the staff, promotes the smooth progress of oil well equipment maintenance work, and improves the production efficiency of the oil well.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, in order to ensure that the piston 12 can move in response to changes in pressure, and to ensure that the hydraulic oil and sealing grease on both sides of the piston 12 do not mix, a first sealing ring 121 is provided on the side wall of the piston 12.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the grease gun barrel 1 includes a metering rod 13 connected to the end surface of the piston 12. A through hole 1131 is formed in the top surface 113 of the main body 11. The metering rod 13 is provided with a scale indicating length. The rod 13 is configured to extend through the through hole and extend beyond the top surface 113, and to extend and retract with the movement of the piston 12. Furthermore, the outer diameter of the metering rod 13 matches the inner diameter of the through hole 1131, and a dynamic seal is formed between the rod 13 and the through hole 1131. This design allows workers to observe the change in length of the metering rod 13 each time they perform grease injection. Since the inner diameter of the main body 11 is known, the specific amount of grease injected can be calculated using the inner diameter of the main body 11 and the change in length of the metering rod 13. This enables precise measurement of the grease injection amount, enabling workers to accurately determine whether the equipment being greased has reached the desired grease injection volume. This improves on-site management of grease injection operations, reduces sealant waste, and lowers maintenance costs.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a second sealing ring 11311 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole 1131 to achieve dynamic sealing between the metering rod 13 and the through hole 1131 .

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, in order to effectively control the opening and closing states of the sealing grease delivery pipe 21 to meet the needs of various scenarios, the sealing grease delivery part 2 also includes a first control valve 22 arranged on the sealing grease delivery pipe 21.

According to the length of the main body 11, the middle part or the second end 112 of the main body 11 is connected to the first bracket 41. Through this design, the first end 111 of the main body 11 is higher than the second end 112, so that the setting position of the sealing grease delivery pipe 21 is higher than the hydraulic oil delivery pipe 31, so that the hydraulic oil does not need to be raised to a high height to play a role, and the position of the equipment to be greased is generally a certain distance from the ground. This design has positive significance for both the injection operation of the hydraulic oil and the grease injection operation.

[0039] Preferably, the second bracket 42 is connected to a side edge of the first bracket 41 .

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the support portion 4 includes a third support 43. The third support 43 is longitudinally arranged and configured in a "U" shape, and the third support 43 is further configured to be connected to the first support 41 through the open end and enable the main body 11 to pass through the vacant portion in the middle thereof. Through this design, it plays a role in strengthening the placement of the main body 11, which helps the grease gun barrel 1 maintain a stable working state.

[0041] Preferably, the third support 43 is connected to one side edge of the first support 41, and the first support 43 and the second support 42 are arranged opposite to each other.

Additionally, the projection of the second end 112 of the main body 11 in the transverse direction is inside the projection of the fourth support 44 in the transverse direction. Through this design, it plays a role in strengthening the placement of the main body 11, which helps the grease gun barrel 1 maintain a stable working state.

[0044] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the support portion 4 includes a fifth support 45. The fifth support 45 is configured in a "U" shape, which is longitudinally arranged and configured to be connected to the fourth support 44 through the open end. Through this design, it provides a handrail for the staff to carry and move the grease injection device 100, improving the convenience and safety for the staff to carry the grease injection device 100.

[0045] Preferably, the fifth support 45 is connected to one side edge of the fourth support 44, and the fifth support 45 and the third support 43 are arranged opposite to each other.

Through this design, the grease gun barrel 1 can be lifted as a whole to a certain height from the ground, so as to meet the requirements of complex construction sites, and also greatly reduce the interference of external equipment to the grease gun barrel 1, which helps to improve the safety and stability of the operation of the grease injection device 100.

[0047] Preferably, a support foot 46 is arranged below each of the two ends of the right side edge of the first support 41 and below each of the two ends of the left side edge of the fourth support 44.

[0048] As Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, in order to meet the needs of different application scenarios and realize grease injection operations on multiple devices to be greased at the same time, the grease injection device 100 includes no less than two grease gun barrels 1, and each grease gun barrel 1 is provided with a sealing grease delivery part 2 and a hydraulic oil delivery part 3.

[0049] According to the grease injection device 100 of the present invention, the design of the grease injection gun barrel 1, the sealing grease delivery unit 2, and the hydraulic oil delivery unit 3 enables electric hydraulic injection of sealing grease, thereby improving the automation and work efficiency of the grease injection operation and reducing the labor intensity of the staff.
