Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool guideway lubrication technology, and in particular to a real-time lubrication device for machine tool guideways. Background Technology

[0002] Guide rails, also known as linear guides, slide rails, linear guides, or linear slide rails, are moving parts used to support and guide movement. They reciprocate linearly in a given direction and can achieve high-precision linear motion under high loads. After prolonged use, guide rails require a lubrication system for maintenance.

[0003] The working principle of the real-time lubrication equipment for machine tool guideways is mainly based on the movement of the lubricating block and the spraying of lubricating fluid. The lubricating block has a lubrication cavity inside, which is connected to the machine tool slide box through a motion mechanism and moves with it. When the machine tool slide box moves on the guideway, the lubricating block will also move accordingly, thereby realizing real-time lubrication of the guideway.

[0004] Existing real-time lubrication equipment for machine tool guideways generally uses lubricating oil to lubricate the guideways. However, due to the inability to precisely control the amount of lubricating oil dispensed, some lubricating oil often falls off the guideways due to gravity during lubrication, resulting in waste of lubricating oil. Furthermore, after a period of time, the lubricating oil on the guideway surface combines with dust to form oil stains or solidify into lumps, affecting the normal sliding of the guideways. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 This first embodiment of the present invention provides a real-time lubrication device for machine tool guideways, including a machine tool platform 1. A support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the machine tool platform 1, and a machine tool guideway 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 3. A lubrication seat 15 is slidably connected to the top of the machine tool guideway 4. An installation groove 12 is provided on the lubrication seat 15, and a cleaning brush 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 12. The cleaning brush 5 is slidably installed in the installation groove 12. When the cleaning brush 5 needs to be replaced or cleaned, the operator only needs to rotate the baffle 13 to release the baffle 13 from the cleaning brush. When the brake is engaged, the cleaning brush 5 can be pulled out for replacement or cleaning. A fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the machine tool platform 1 for auxiliary fixing and limiting of the collection box 7. The inner wall of the fixing plate 8 is equipped with a collection box 7 for collecting dripping lubricating oil. A filter screen 10 is installed on the inner wall of the collection box 7. The filter screen 10 can filter out impurities in the dripping lubricating oil. The filtered lubricating oil falls into the bottom of the collection box 7 due to gravity, while the impurities remain on the upper surface of the filter screen 10. The filtered lubricating oil can be reused for lubrication of the machine tool guide rail.

[0026] The bottom of the machine tool platform 1 is fixedly connected with several support legs 2 for supporting the machine tool platform 1. The outer surface of the lubrication seat 15 is fixedly connected with a rotating rod 14. The outer wall of the rotating rod 14 is rotatably connected with a baffle 13. The baffle 13 can block the cleaning brush 5 to prevent the baffle 13 from shifting or even slipping during use, which would affect the cleaning effect. The top of the lubrication seat 15 is fixedly connected with an oil supply tank 6. The top of the oil supply tank 6 is connected to an oil injection pipe 9. Both sides of the oil supply tank 6 are connected to an oil outlet control pipe 16. A valve 17 is installed inside the oil outlet control pipe 16. A lubricating oil pump is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the oil supply tank 6. When the lubrication seat 15 needs to lubricate the machine tool guide rail 4, the valve 17 is opened and the lubricating oil pump is started. The lubricating oil is delivered from the oil supply tank 6 through the oil delivery pipe 15 to the oil outlet pipe 11 and flows out from the oil outlet to lubricate the machine tool guide rail 4. After the lubrication operation is completed, the valve 17 is closed.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the output end of the lubricating oil pump is connected to the end of the oil outlet control pipe 16 near the oil supply tank 6, and the end of the oil outlet control pipe 16 away from the oil supply tank 6 is connected to the oil outlet pipe 11. The outer surface of the oil outlet pipe 11 is connected to several oil outlet nozzles. When lubricating the machine tool guide rail 4, the valve 17 is opened and the lubricating oil pump is started. The lubricating oil flows from the oil supply tank 6 through the oil delivery pipe 15 to the oil outlet pipe 11 due to gravity and flows out from the oil outlet nozzles to lubricate the machine tool guide rail 4. Moreover, the number of oil outlet nozzles connected to the outer surface of the oil outlet pipe 11 is multiple. Compared with lubrication by a single oil nozzle, it can improve the lubrication efficiency and spray the lubricating oil more evenly, reducing the waste of lubricating oil.

[0029] A connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collection box 7. A fixed seat 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 22. A connecting rod 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed seat 20. A pull block 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 19. A fixed insert block 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 19 away from the pull block 18. A limit ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 19. A return spring 21 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting rod 19. A slot 24 is opened on the outer surface of the machine tool platform 1 to facilitate the insertion of the fixed insert block 23. When the operator pulls the pull block 18, it drives the connecting rod 19 and causes the fixed insert block 23 to disengage from the slot 24, making it easy to remove the collection box 7. Conversely, when the operator releases the pull block 18, the fixed insert block 23 is pushed into the slot 24 under the force of the return spring 21, thus completing the installation and fixing of the collection box 7.

[0030] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.

[0031] During use, firstly, an appropriate amount of lubricating oil is injected into the oil supply tank 6 through the oil injection pipe 9. Then, valve 17 is opened to start the lubricating oil pump in the oil supply tank 6, which delivers the lubricating oil from the oil supply tank 6 through the oil delivery pipe 15 to the oil outlet pipe 11, from which it flows out from the oil outlet. As the lubrication seat 15 moves, it lubricates the machine tool guide rail 4. At the same time, the movement of the lubrication seat 15 allows the cleaning brush 5 to clean the upper surface of the machine tool guide rail 4. Since the cleaning brush 5 is slidably installed in the mounting slot 12, when the cleaning brush 5 needs to be replaced or cleaned, the working... Personnel only need to rotate the baffle 13 to release the brake on the cleaning brush 5, and then they can pull out the cleaning brush 5 for replacement or cleaning. The baffle 13 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod 14. The connection is relatively tight and requires the operator to apply a large force to rotate it. The end of the baffle 13 away from the rotating rod 14 faces down and will not shift due to gravity or shaking. Therefore, the baffle 13 can remain fixed by itself. The length of the cleaning brush 5 is equal to that of the mounting groove 12. After being braked by the baffle 13, the cleaning brush 5 will not slide freely in the lubrication seat 25.

[0032] During use, when lubricating the machine tool guide rail 4, due to the inability to precisely control the amount of lubricating oil output, some lubricating oil often falls from the machine tool guide rail 4 into the collection box 7 due to gravity. The filter screen 10 in the collection box 7 can filter out impurities in the dripping lubricating oil. The filtered lubricating oil falls to the bottom of the collection box 7 due to gravity, while the impurities remain on the upper surface of the filter screen 10. The filtered lubricating oil can be reused for lubricating the machine tool guide rail. According to the specific design of the collection box 7, the filter screen 10 in the collection box 7 can be disassembled. After soaking the disassembled filter screen 10 in cleaning agent for a period of time, the deposits and impurities on the surface of the filter screen 10 can be removed using a brush or other tools.

[0033] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
