Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift loading machine technology, and in particular to a boom cylinder pin lubrication device and a forklift loading machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most forklifts use a centrally mounted boom cylinder, which integrates pins on both sides of the boom cylinder. These pins connect the boom cylinder to two corresponding cylinder mounting seats on the front frame. Each cylinder mounting seat on the front frame is equipped with a grease inlet to lubricate the bushing between the pin and the mounting seat. The two grease inlets on the two cylinder mounting seats are connected to the front frame wing box via steel pipes for easy grease injection.

[0003] Theoretically, the pin on the boom cylinder and the bushing on the cylinder mounting seat of the front frame are clearance fits. The inner wall of the bushing has an annular oil groove (the cross-section of the annular oil groove is semi-circular). When a certain amount of grease is applied, the pin and bushing end faces should theoretically exude oil evenly. The operator usually uses this to judge whether enough grease has been applied. However, the boom cylinder of a forklift is relatively heavy. Due to the weight of the boom cylinder, the pin on the boom cylinder is pressed tightly against the bushing, causing the pin and bushing to become eccentric. The upper clearance is larger and the lower clearance is smaller. This leads to uneven oil exude from the pin and bushing end faces when grease is applied (only the upper clearance exudes oil, while the lower clearance exudes almost no oil). In other words, the lubrication between the pin and bushing is uneven, which may lead to dry friction, abnormal noise, and over time, the bushing may even fall off, seriously affecting the user experience and reducing user satisfaction.

[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0038] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0040] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a boom cylinder pin lubrication device 100, including a cylinder mounting base 10, a bushing 20, and a first oil pipe 30. The cylinder mounting base 10 has a support hole and a first lubrication oil passage 1121, which is connected to the support hole. The bushing 20 is disposed in the support hole and is used to rotate with the pin. The inner circumferential wall of the bushing 20 has a first annular oil groove 21, and the top of the bushing 20 has a first oil hole 23, which connects the first lubrication oil passage 1121 and the first annular oil groove 21. The first oil pipe 30 is connected to the first lubrication oil passage 1121. The lubricating oil can flow through the first oil pipe 30, the first lubricating oil passage 1121 and the first oil hole 23 to the top of the first annular oil groove 21, thereby entering the top gap between the bushing 20 and the pin. Because the top gap between the bushing 20 and the pin is large and the bottom gap is small, the lubricating oil that enters the top gap between the bushing 20 and the pin cannot flow smoothly to the bottom gap between the bushing 20 and the pin.

[0042] To address the aforementioned problems, the boom cylinder pin lubrication device 100 provided by this utility model includes a second lubrication oil passage 121 on the cylinder mounting base 10, which is connected to the support hole; a second oil hole 24 is provided at the bottom of the bushing 20, which connects the second lubrication oil passage 121 and the first annular oil groove 21; and a second oil pipe 40 is also included, which is connected to the second lubrication oil passage 121. Lubricating oil can flow through the second oil pipe 40, the second lubrication oil passage 121, and the second oil hole 24 to the bottom of the first annular oil groove 21, thereby entering the bottom gap between the bushing 20 and the pin, thus improving the problem of uneven lubrication between the pin and the bushing 20, and eliminating the potential hazards of dry friction, abnormal noise, or even bushing 20 detachment during machine operation.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment, the cross-section of the first annular oil groove 21 is rectangular, and the width of the first annular oil groove 21 is widened so that the lubricating oil entering the gap between the bushing 20 and the top of the pin through the first oil pipe 30 can flow to the bottom gap between the bushing 20 and the pin.

[0044] Furthermore, a second annular oil groove 22 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the bushing 20. The second annular oil groove 22 is connected to the second lubricating oil passage 121. A third oil hole 25 is also formed on the bushing 20. The third oil hole 25 is located between the first oil hole 23 and the second oil hole 24, and the third oil hole 25 connects the second annular oil groove 22 and the first annular oil groove 21. The second oil hole 24 is connected to the second lubricating oil passage 121 through the second annular oil groove 22. Lubricating oil enters the second annular oil groove 22 through the second oil pipe 40 and the second lubricating oil passage 121. Part of the lubricating oil in the second annular oil groove 22 enters the bottom of the first annular oil groove 21 through the second oil hole 24, and the other part goes up along the second annular oil groove 22 and enters the middle of the first annular oil groove 21 through the third oil hole 25, further improving the problem of uneven lubrication between the pin and the bushing 20.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the second annular oil groove 22 is rectangular, but it can also be other shapes, and is not limited to this embodiment.

[0046] In this embodiment, there are two third oil holes 25. One third oil hole 25 is located on one side of the peripheral wall between the first oil hole 23 and the second oil hole 24, and the other third oil hole 25 is located on the other side of the peripheral wall between the first oil hole 23 and the second oil hole 24. The lubricating oil of the second annular oil groove 22 can enter the middle of both sides of the first annular oil groove 21 through the two third oil holes 25, further improving the uniformity of lubrication between the pin and the bushing 20. In other embodiments, the number of third oil holes 25 may be more than two, with several third oil holes 25 located on one side of the peripheral wall between the first oil hole 23 and the second oil hole 24, and the remaining third oil holes 25 located on the other side of the peripheral wall between the first oil hole 23 and the second oil hole 24. The number of third oil holes 25 is not limited to this embodiment.

[0047] Furthermore, the inner wall of the bushing 20 is provided with a through oil groove 26, which extends along the thickness direction of the bushing 20 and is connected to the first annular oil groove 21. The lubricating oil in the first annular oil groove 21 can flow through the through oil groove 26 to both ends of the bushing 20 along the thickness direction, so as to lubricate the bushing 20 and the pin from the ends, further improving the uniformity of lubrication between the pin and the bushing 20.

[0048] In this embodiment, there are multiple through-holes 26, each corresponding to a second oil hole 24 and a third oil hole 25, and the through-holes 26 are connected to the corresponding second oil hole 24 or third oil hole 25. Lubricating oil enters the first annular oil groove 21 through the second oil hole 24 or third oil hole 25 and simultaneously enters the through-holes 26, improving the smoothness of lubricating oil entering the through-holes 26 and increasing lubrication between the bushing 20 and the bottom and middle of the pin, further improving the uniformity of lubrication between the pin and the bushing 20. For example, there are three through-holes 26, each corresponding to a second oil hole 24 and two third oil holes 25.

[0049] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In this embodiment, the cylinder mounting base 10 includes an upper base 11 and a lower base 12, which are detachably connected to facilitate the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the bushing 20. The upper base 11 is provided with a first half-support hole 113, and the lower base 12 is provided with a second half-support hole 122. The first half-support hole 113 and the second half-support hole 122 together form a support hole.

[0050] Reference Figure 5 and combined Figure 3 The upper body 11 has a seat hole, and an oil pipe mounting seat 112 is installed in the seat hole. The oil pipe mounting seat 112 is inserted into the first oil hole 23. The first lubricating oil passage 1121 is provided through the oil pipe mounting seat 112 and is connected to the first oil hole 23. (Refer to...) Figure 6 and Figure 7 The second lubrication channel 121 is opened in the lower seat body 12.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model also provides a forklift, including a boom cylinder, a front frame 200, and two boom cylinder pin lubrication devices 100. The boom cylinder has pins on both sides. The two boom cylinder pin lubrication devices 100 are both located on the front frame 200 and are spaced apart along a first direction. Each pin corresponds to one boom cylinder pin lubrication device 100, and the pins are rotatably engaged with the support holes in the corresponding boom cylinder pin lubrication devices 100. By providing the aforementioned boom cylinder pin lubrication devices 100, the problem of uneven lubrication between the pins and bushings 20 can be improved, eliminating the risk of dry friction, abnormal noise, or even bushing 20 detachment during machine operation.

[0052] In this embodiment, the inlet positions of the second lubricating oil passages 121 on the two cylinder mounting seats 10 are different. Specifically, the inlet of the second lubricating oil passage 121 on the outer cylinder mounting seat 10 is located on the end face away from the other cylinder mounting seat 10 along the first direction. (Refer to...) Figure 7The inlet of the second lubrication passage 121 on the inner cylinder mounting seat 10 is located on the end face away from the front frame 200 wing box along the second direction, as shown in the reference. Figure 6 The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Of course, the inlet position of the second lubrication oil passage 121 on the two cylinder mounting seats 10 is not limited to this embodiment, but is determined according to the installation position of other components on the front frame 200 and the direction of the second oil pipe 40.

[0053] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
