[0002] The current widely used lubricating system on the agricultural harvesting machinery is single in function, and cannot accurately control the lubricating period and the lubricating amount. However, accurate control of the lubricating period and the lubricating amount in the mechanical work and daily maintenance is beneficial to better maintenance of the stability of the machinery. Therefore, a control system capable of automatic lubrication is needed to solve the problem of inconvenient operation of the existing silage machine. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0003] The utility model aims at solving the above technical problems of the prior art, and provides a silage machine self-lubricating system.
[0004] A silage machine self-lubricating system, comprising a key switch, a main clutch button, a controller, an instrument, an armrest box and a lubricating pump, wherein the controller is connected with the key switch through a first circuit, the main clutch button is arranged on the first circuit, the controller is further connected with the armrest box and the instrument through a second circuit and a third circuit respectively, the lubricating pump is connected with the armrest box, the controller receives the combined signals of the key switch and the main clutch button, and sends a control signal to the armrest box, the armrest box controls the lubricating pump to work, the controller is internally provided with an automatic stop program, the automatic stop program is used for sending a stop signal to the armrest box after a predetermined time, and controlling the lubricating pump to stop working, and the instrument is provided with an operation interface, and the predetermined time is set on the operation interface.
[0005] Further, the controller is a PLC.
[0006] Further, the lubricating pump is one of a positive displacement pump, a vane pump, a vacuum pump, a jet pump and a water hammer pump.
[0007] Further, the lubricating pump is provided with a lubricating button, and the lubricating button is used for controlling the on-off of the second circuit.
[0008] Advantages: compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0009] Through the combination of the key switch, the main clutch button and the controller, the automatic start of the lubricating system is realized. This design reduces the manual operation steps and improves the work efficiency.
[0010] The automatic stop program built in the controller can automatically stop the work of the lubricating pump after a predetermined time, avoids unnecessary energy waste and excessive lubrication, and is helpful to protect the equipment and prolong the service life.
[0011] The instrument is provided with an operation interface, allowing the user to set the predetermined time according to actual needs, increasing the flexibility and user-friendliness of the system.
[0012] The system supports multiple types of lubrication pumps, such as positive displacement pumps, vane pumps, etc., providing users with more options and allowing them to choose the most suitable lubrication pump type based on actual needs.
[0013] The system's safety is increased through the settings of the main clutch button and the lubrication button. Only when certain conditions are met (such as the key switch being on and the main clutch being pressed) will the system start or continue to work, which helps prevent accidents caused by misoperation.
[0014] The circuit and component design of the system are relatively simple and easy to maintain and troubleshoot, which reduces maintenance costs and ensures the continuous and stable operation of the system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
