Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of winch wire rope lubrication devices, specifically to a winch wire rope lubrication device. Background Technology
[0002] Winches are widely used in construction, ports, power, mining, and entertainment equipment, and their safe and reliable operation is of great significance to modern society. To reduce wear on the wire ropes of winches, frequent lubrication is necessary. Traditional lubrication methods involve manually applying lubricating oil to the wire rope, but this is difficult to control, resulting in uneven application, significant oil waste, and low efficiency. Furthermore, applying lubricating oil to the winch wire rope must be done while the winch is running, which compromises worker safety and may affect the stability of the wire rope's operation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lubrication device for winch wire ropes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model discloses a wire rope lubrication device for a winch, comprising a housing and a wire rope. A lubrication wheel, a pressure wheel, and a guide wheel are sequentially arranged inside the housing. The lubrication wheel, pressure wheel, and guide wheel are each mounted on a fixed shaft and rotate. The housing has an oil supply groove located at the bottom of the lubrication wheel. The wire rope passes through both ends of the housing and is supported by the lubrication wheel and guide wheel, and is pressed down by the pressure wheel.
[0006] The box body is equipped with a rotatable cover plate. A pressure roller is provided on one end of the inner side of the cover plate. The pressure roller is located on top of the guide roller. The pressure roller is elastically controlled by springs at the top of both ends of the shaft. The springs are fixedly connected to the shaft of the cover plate and the pressure roller. An oil scraper is provided on the other end of the inner side of the cover plate. The oil scraper and the end plate of the box body scrape oil off the wire rope together.
[0007] As an improvement, the fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the box body.
[0008] As an improvement, the box body is provided with a waste oil tank, which is located at the bottom of the guide wheel.
[0009] As an improvement, the cover plate can be bolted to the box body.
[0010] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: By utilizing the wire rope to drive the lubrication wheel, pressure wheel, and guide wheel, lubrication of the wire rope can be completed without manual operation while the winch is running. Furthermore, excess lubricating oil on the wire rope surface can be scraped off and left in the oil groove, avoiding waste, saving labor, saving oil, and improving safety. The guide wheel and pressure wheel ensure stable operation of the wire rope while it is being lubricated, preventing deviation and derailment, and guaranteeing the normal operation of the winch.

[0023] This embodiment is combined with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 This paper provides a detailed description of a wire rope lubrication device for a winch.
[0024] This embodiment discloses a wire rope lubrication device for a winch, comprising a housing 1 and a wire rope 7. The housing 1 contains a lubrication wheel 2, a pressure wheel 3, and a guide wheel 4 arranged sequentially. The lubrication wheel 2, pressure wheel 3, and guide wheel 4 are respectively mounted on a fixed shaft 5 and rotate. The housing 1 has an oil supply groove 6 located at the bottom of the lubrication wheel 2. The wire rope 7 passes through both ends of the housing 1 and is supported by the lubrication wheel 2 and guide wheel 4, and is pressed down by the pressure wheel 3.
[0025] The housing 1 is equipped with a rotatable cover 11. A pressure roller 8 is located on the inner side of the cover 11, positioned on top of the guide roller 4. The pressure roller 8 is elastically controlled by springs 9 at both ends of its shaft. The springs 9 are fixedly connected to the cover 11 and the shaft of the pressure roller 8. An oil scraper 12 is located on the other inner side of the cover 11. The oil scraper 12, together with the end plate of the housing 1, scrapes oil off the wire rope 7. The oil scraper 12 has a semi-circular hole, and the end plate of the housing 1 also has a semi-circular hole, which together form a single circular hole that fits over the wire rope 7. When the wire rope 7 passes through the circular hole, excess oil on its surface is scraped off and left in the oil supply groove 6, preventing waste.
[0026] The fixed shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the box body 1.
[0027] The box body 1 is provided with a waste oil tank 10, which is located at the bottom of the guide wheel 4.
[0028] The cover plate 11 can be bolted to cover the box body 1. As shown in the attached figure, the cover plate 11 and the box body 1 have bolt holes.
[0029] In practical implementation, the end of the wire rope 7 facing the lubrication wheel 2 is connected to the winch, and the wire rope 7 is as follows: Figure 1 The lubricating oil trough 6, which passes through housing 1, contains a certain amount of lubricating oil and submerges the lower part of the lubricating wheel 2. When the winch starts, the wire rope 7 is wound up and down, causing the lubricating wheel 2, pressure wheel 3, and guide wheel 4 to rotate. The wire rope 7 comes into contact with the lubricating wheel 2, and the lubricating oil adhering to the lubricating wheel 2 from the lubricating trough 6 adheres to the wire rope 7, thus lubricating it. When the wire rope 7 passes through the round hole, excess lubricating oil on the surface is scraped off and left in the lubricating trough 6, avoiding waste. The guide wheel 4 stabilizes and guides the wire rope 7, and the pressure wheel 8 further ensures that the wire rope 7 does not deviate. The waste oil trough 10 collects the waste oil dripping from the wire rope 7 as it passes through the guide wheel 4.
[0030] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the actual scope of protection is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this invention should be included within the scope of protection of this invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
