Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a thin oil lubrication station, belonging to the field of lubrication devices. Background Technology

[0002] A lubrication station is a system used for lubricating industrial equipment. It is mainly used to provide lubricating oil or grease to mechanical equipment to reduce friction, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0003] Lubrication stations are typically connected directly to the equipment's lubrication system. However, during long-term operation, leaks may occur in the connecting pipes, leading to reduced lubrication effectiveness and potentially causing abnormal wear on the equipment. Furthermore, leaks not only reduce system reliability but also increase maintenance difficulty, making troubleshooting and repair time-consuming and inefficient, thus impacting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology and to provide a thin oil lubrication station.

[0005] A thin oil lubrication station, used in conjunction with a distributor integrated plate for oil supply, includes an oil tank, a gear pump assembly, an integrated block mounted on the oil tank, and a speed control valve. The integrated block has an internal oil passage with an inlet and an outlet. An oil filter connected to the gear pump assembly is mounted on the oil tank. The oil filter, speed control valve, and overflow valve are all mounted on the integrated block and connected via the internal oil passage. The outlet of the internal oil passage connects to the inlet of the distributor integrated plate. Because the main components are integrated into the integrated block, the complex piping connections of traditional lubrication stations are reduced, making troubleshooting more intuitive, maintenance more efficient, shortening repair time, and improving equipment operational stability. The integrated design of the speed control valve and overflow valve allows for more precise regulation of lubricating oil flow, meeting the lubrication needs of different equipment and ensuring system stability and efficiency. The direct connection to the distributor integrated plate makes the oil supply process smoother, reduces oil flow resistance, improves lubricating oil delivery efficiency, and further enhances the lubrication effect and service life of the equipment.

[0006] Preferably, the oil outlet of the internal oil passage in the integrated block is connected to the inlet of the distributor integrated plate via a high-pressure hose. The high-pressure hose maintains stable sealing performance under high pressure, reducing joint stress caused by vibration or temperature changes, thereby effectively reducing the risk of oil leakage. Compared to rigid pipelines, using a high-pressure hose connection provides greater flexibility in equipment layout and installation, facilitates later maintenance and replacement, and shortens maintenance time. The high-pressure hose effectively resists pressure fluctuations, ensuring a stable flow of lubricating oil during transmission, meeting the requirements for precise oil supply, thereby further improving the reliability and efficiency of the entire lubrication system.

[0007] Preferably, the gear pump assembly is located on one side of the oil tank. The gear pump assembly includes a pump inlet for oil intake and a pump outlet for connection to the oil filter. Side mounting maintains a reasonable distance between the gear pump assembly and other components, facilitating installation, wiring, and subsequent maintenance, while also contributing to a compact design of the overall oil tank structure. Side mounting of the gear pump assembly allows for easier positioning and maintenance in case of malfunction or maintenance, reducing interference with other components and shortening maintenance time. The pump inlet draws in lubricating oil, while the pump outlet directly connects to the oil filter, ensuring the oil is pre-filtered before entering the internal oil passages. This reduces the risk of impurities entering the system, thereby improving the reliability and lubrication effect of the entire lubrication system.

[0008] Preferably, the integrated block is further equipped with a pressure relay, the inlet of which is connected to a branch of the internal oil circuit between the oil filter outlet and the speed control valve inlet. The pressure relay can monitor the pressure status of the internal oil circuit in real time, and can promptly issue a signal in case of abnormal fluctuations, ensuring that the system operates within the optimal working pressure range. Through effective monitoring of oil pressure, the system can respond quickly under high or low pressure conditions, thereby protecting critical components from damage and enhancing the overall safety and reliability of the system. Precise pressure monitoring makes the pressure monitoring of the internal oil circuit more accurate, further ensuring stable delivery of lubricating oil and improving the overall operating effect of the lubrication system. The pressure relay includes a high-pressure relay and a low-pressure relay.

[0009] Preferably, the oil tank is equipped with a heating element for heating the lubricating oil. The heating element preheats the lubricating oil at low temperatures, ensuring it maintains suitable fluidity and preventing excessively high viscosity from affecting lubrication. The heating element can be a heating tube placed inside the oil tank, an externally attached heater (or external heater), or a PTC self-regulating heating element. This not only ensures suitable fluidity of the lubricating oil at low temperatures but also improves the overall safety and reliability of the system through self-regulation of temperature. The specific choice needs to be determined based on actual operating conditions, the oil tank structure, and the system's heating requirements.

[0010] Furthermore, an oil suction filter is installed near the oil tank outlet, and the oil suction filter is connected to the oil tank outlet. The oil suction filter can effectively filter out impurities and suspended particles in the oil tank before the oil enters the oil supply system, ensuring the purity of the lubricating oil and reducing the risk of wear and blockage caused by impurities. The filtered oil maintains a high quality in all stages, which helps to stabilize the supply of lubricating oil and improve the overall system's operational stability and safety. Because the oil suction filter effectively prevents impurities from entering, it can reduce malfunctions caused by oil contamination, thereby reducing the system's maintenance frequency and costs.

[0011] Furthermore, the oil tank is equipped with high and low level gauges and a thermometer for detecting the oil's condition. The high and low level gauges can monitor the oil level in the tank in a timely manner, preventing oil supply interruptions due to insufficient oil or overflow. Simultaneously, the thermometer monitors oil temperature changes, providing timely warnings of abnormal conditions and ensuring safe system operation. By detecting the oil temperature, the operating status of the heating components can be more precisely controlled, ensuring the oil is maintained within the optimal lubrication temperature range, thereby improving the fluidity and lubrication effect of the lubricating oil. The real-time data provided by the level gauge and thermometer can be integrated into the automated control system, enabling precise adjustment of the oil supply and heating system, improving the system's intelligence and operational efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, the oil tank is also equipped with an oil return port. This port allows the lubricated oil to be collected and returned to the tank, reducing oil waste and enabling oil recycling. Promptly guiding the returned oil back into the tank helps balance the oil temperature and pressure within the tank, ensuring the oil in the supply system remains in a suitable state and improving the overall stability of the system.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Since the main components are integrated on the integrated block, the complex piping connections in traditional lubrication stations are reduced, making troubleshooting more intuitive, maintenance more efficient, shortening repair time, and improving equipment operational stability. The integrated design of the speed control valve and the overflow valve allows for more precise regulation of lubricating oil flow, meeting the lubrication needs of different equipment and ensuring the stability and efficiency of system operation. The direct connection with the distributor integrated plate makes the oil supply process smoother, reduces oil flow resistance, improves lubricating oil delivery efficiency, and further enhances the lubrication effect and service life of the equipment.

[0024] like Figure 1-5 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of a thin oil lubrication station according to this invention, used in conjunction with a distributor integrated plate 10 for oil supply. The thin oil lubrication station includes an oil tank 1, a gear pump assembly 2, an integrated block 3 mounted on the oil tank 1, and a speed control valve 4. The integrated block 3 has an internal oil passage with an inlet and an outlet. The oil tank 1 is equipped with an oil outlet filter 5 connected to the gear pump assembly 2. The oil outlet filter 5, speed control valve 4, and overflow valve 12 are all mounted on the integrated block 3 and connected via the internal oil passage. The outlet of the internal oil passage connects to the inlet of the distributor integrated plate 10. Because the main components are integrated on the integrated block 3, the complex piping connections of traditional lubrication stations are reduced, making troubleshooting more intuitive, maintenance more efficient, shortening repair time, and improving equipment operational stability. The integrated design of the speed control valve 4 and the overflow valve 12 allows for more precise adjustment of the lubricating oil flow, meeting the lubrication needs of different equipment and ensuring the stability and efficiency of the system operation. The direct connection with the distributor integration board 10 makes the oil supply process smoother, reduces oil flow resistance, improves lubricating oil delivery efficiency, and further enhances the lubrication effect and service life of the equipment.

[0025] The oil outlet of the internal oil circuit in the integrated block 3 is connected to the inlet of the distributor integrated plate 10 via a high-pressure hose 6. The high-pressure hose 6 maintains stable sealing performance under high pressure, reducing joint stress caused by vibration or temperature changes, thereby effectively reducing the risk of oil leakage. Compared to rigid pipelines, the use of high-pressure hose 6 provides greater flexibility in equipment layout and installation, facilitating later maintenance and replacement, and shortening maintenance time. The high-pressure hose 6 effectively resists pressure fluctuations, ensuring a stable flow of lubricating oil during transmission, meeting the precision requirements of the distributor integrated plate 10 for oil supply, thereby further improving the reliability and efficiency of the entire lubrication system.

[0026] The gear pump assembly 2 is located on one side of the oil tank 1. The gear pump assembly 2 includes a pump inlet 21 for oil intake and a pump outlet 22 for connection to the oil filter 5. This side-mounted design maintains a reasonable distance between the gear pump assembly 2 and other components, facilitating installation, wiring, and subsequent maintenance, while also contributing to the compact design of the overall oil tank 1 structure. Because the gear pump assembly 2 is side-mounted, it is easier to locate and maintain in case of malfunction or maintenance, reducing interference with other components and shortening maintenance time. The pump inlet 21 draws in lubricating oil, while the pump outlet 22 directly connects to the oil filter 5, ensuring that the oil is pre-filtered before entering the internal oil passages. This reduces the risk of impurities entering the system, thereby improving the reliability and lubrication effect of the entire lubrication system.

[0027] The integrated block 3 is also equipped with a pressure relay 7, the inlet of which is connected to a branch of the internal oil circuit between the outlet of the oil filter 5 and the inlet of the speed control valve 4. The pressure relay 7 can monitor the pressure status of the internal oil circuit in real time. If abnormal fluctuations occur, it can promptly issue a signal to ensure the system operates within the optimal working pressure range. Through effective oil pressure monitoring, the system can respond quickly under high or low pressure conditions, thereby protecting critical components from damage and enhancing the overall safety and reliability of the system. Precise pressure monitoring makes the monitoring of the internal oil circuit more accurate, further ensuring stable lubricant delivery and improving the overall operating effect of the lubrication system. The pressure relay 7 includes a high-pressure relay 71 and a low-pressure relay 72.

[0028] The oil tank is equipped with a heating element for heating the lubricating oil. This heating element preheats the oil at low temperatures, ensuring it maintains suitable fluidity and preventing excessively high viscosity from affecting lubrication. The heating element can be a heating tube placed inside the oil tank, an externally attached heater (or external heater), or a PTC self-regulating heating element. This not only ensures suitable fluidity of the oil at low temperatures but also improves the overall safety and reliability of the system through self-regulation of temperature. The specific choice should be determined based on actual operating conditions, the oil tank structure, and the system's heating requirements.

[0029] An oil suction filter 8 is installed near the oil tank outlet, and the oil suction filter 8 is connected to the oil tank outlet. The oil suction filter 8 effectively removes impurities and suspended particles from the oil tank before the oil enters the oil supply system, ensuring the purity of the lubricating oil and reducing the risk of wear and blockage caused by impurities. The filtered oil maintains high quality in all stages, helping to stabilize the lubricating oil supply and improve the overall system's operational stability and safety. Because the oil suction filter 8 effectively prevents impurities from entering, it reduces malfunctions caused by oil contamination, thereby reducing the system's maintenance frequency and costs.

[0030] The oil tank is also equipped with a high / low level gauge and a thermometer 11 for detecting the oil status. The high / low level gauge can monitor the oil level in the tank in a timely manner to prevent oil supply interruption due to insufficient oil or overflow. At the same time, the thermometer 11 monitors changes in oil temperature and provides timely warnings of abnormal conditions to ensure safe system operation. By detecting the oil temperature, the working status of the heating components can be controlled more precisely to ensure that the oil is maintained within the optimal lubrication temperature range, thereby improving the fluidity and lubrication effect of the lubricating oil. The real-time data provided by the level gauge and thermometer 11 can be integrated into the automated control system to achieve precise adjustment of the oil supply and heating system, improving the system's intelligence level and operating efficiency.

[0031] The oil tank is also equipped with an oil return port 9. The oil return port 9 allows the lubricated oil in the system to be collected and returned to the oil tank, reducing oil waste and enabling oil recycling. Timely introduction of the returned oil into the oil tank through the oil return port 9 helps balance the oil temperature and pressure within the tank, ensuring that the oil in the supply system remains in a suitable state and improving the overall stability of the system.

[0032] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several specific embodiments, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed.
