Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lubrication technology for baling machines with threaded tracks, and particularly relates to a lubrication mechanism for a large-diameter baling machine with threaded tracks. Background Art

[0002] When feeding and drawing wire in a large-diameter baler, the large diameter of the baler results in a long friction time between the wire and the various parts of the baler's baler, which greatly reduces the service life of the baler's baler parts.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to extend the service life of the guide roller, grease is usually applied manually to the surface of the guide roller. However, manual operation often results in uneven application of grease, and it requires constant monitoring to see if the grease is used up. The process of manually applying grease to the surface of the guide roller is cumbersome, and the grease is used up irregularly. In addition, manual application may result in grease dripping onto the surface of the baler, which is difficult to clean. Utility Model Content
