[0002] A sealing ring is a circular or annular device used to fill or close the gap between two or more relatively moving parts. It is typically made of an elastic material (such as rubber or polymer) and has good wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and sealing performance.

[0003] To avoid damaging the seals during oil pump assembly, the seal surface is generally lubricated with oil; for example... Figure 1 As mentioned above, three sealing rings 11 are provided on the oil pump 1 along the axial direction, and the diameter of the sealing ring at the end is smaller than the diameter of the two sealing rings in the middle. The existing grease coating machine cannot meet the requirements. At present, the sealing ring surface is mainly coated manually, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also has poor stability of manual operation. The coated surface is uneven, and there is a phenomenon of too much or too little oil. Too little oil cannot meet the process requirements and is prone to quality problems such as damage to parts. Too much oil will cause grease waste. Utility Model Content

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Appendix Figure 2-6 The automatic grease applicator for oil pump seal rings of this utility model includes a machine base 2, a grease applicator 3 disposed on the top of the machine base 2 for applying grease to the oil pump seal ring 11, a metering valve assembly 4 disposed on the top of the machine base 2 and located behind the grease applicator 3 for metering grease into the grease applicator 3, a grease filling assembly 5 disposed inside the machine base 2 for injecting grease into the metering valve assembly 4, and a control button 6 disposed on the front of the machine base 2.

[0028] The grease application fixture 3 includes a lower grease application seat 31, an upper grease application seat 32 disposed above the lower grease application seat 31, and four vertically placed connecting rods 33 for connecting the upper grease application seat 32 and the lower grease application seat 31.

[0029] The upper grease-applying seat 32 is vertically provided with an upper grease-applying cavity 321 to facilitate the passage of the oil pump 1;

[0030] The lower grease-applying seat 31 is vertically provided with a lower grease-applying cavity 311 that is placed coaxially with the upper grease-applying cavity 321;

[0031] Both the upper grease seat 32 and the lower grease seat 31 are provided with annular oil channels 34 surrounding the upper grease cavity 321 and the lower grease cavity 311;

[0032] The sidewall of the upper grease-coated cavity 321 is provided with two rings of upper oil outlet holes 322 that are connected to the annular oil passage 34 and correspond to the positions of the two sealing rings 11 of the same diameter as the oil pump 1.

[0033] The side wall of the lower grease-coating cavity 311 is provided with a lower oil outlet hole 312 that is connected to the annular oil passage 34 and corresponds to the position of the sealing ring 11 at the end of the oil pump 1.

[0034] Each of the annular oil passages 34 is provided with an oil inlet 35 connected to the metering valve assembly 4 via a pipe.

[0035] During operation: vertically insert the oil pump 1 (the part to be coated) into the grease applicator 3; when the shoulder on the oil pump 1 contacts the upper end of the upper grease applicator 32, it acts as a limit, at which point the end sealing ring 11 of the oil pump 1 is located in the lower grease cavity 311 and corresponds exactly to the position of the lower oil outlet 312, while the two sealing rings 11 in the middle are located in the upper grease cavity 321 and correspond exactly to the positions of the two upper oil outlets 322; then start the control button 6, the grease filling component 5 injects grease into the metering valve component 4, and the metering valve component 4 injects grease into the grease applicator 3 in a metered manner, completing the automatic metered application of grease to the two sealing rings 11 with different diameters on the oil pump 1; when the oil pump 1 with grease applied is removed from the grease applicator 3, the oil pump 1 can be rotated manually or automatically to make the grease evenly applied to the sealing rings 11.

[0036] In this embodiment, the diameters of the large grease-applying cavity and the lower grease-applying cavity 311 are both slightly larger than the outer diameter of the corresponding sealing ring 11 on the oil pump 1. This not only makes it easier to pick up and put down the oil pump 1 to be coated with oil, but also allows for a very small gap between the large grease-applying cavity and the lower grease-applying cavity 311 and the sealing ring 11. In this way, the grease flowing out of the oil outlet can be evenly coated onto the sealing ring 11.

[0037] Furthermore, multiple oil inlets are provided, evenly arranged in the circumferential direction at the bottom of the annular oil channel 34; by providing multiple oil inlets evenly placed in the circumferential direction, this utility model makes the grease enter the annular oil channel 34 more evenly, and enables the grease to flow out evenly from the oil outlet.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the grease application fixture 3 also includes a base 36; the lower grease application seat 31 is disposed on the base 36; the base 36 is provided with a connection hole for connecting to the machine base 2; by setting the base 36 at the bottom of the grease application fixture 3, this utility model facilitates the replacement of fixtures and the application of grease to different models of oil pumps 1 or other parts to be greased.

[0039] Furthermore, the grease application fixture 3 also includes a sealing shell 37; the sealing shell 37 has openings at the top and bottom; the upper grease application seat 32 and the lower grease application seat 31 are both located inside the sealing shell 37; the upper grease application seat 32 is partially exposed above the upper end of the sealing shell 37; this utility model uses a sealing shell 37 outside the grease application fixture 3 to prevent particles, dust, etc. from entering the grease application fixture 3 from the side, thus avoiding grease contamination.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the grease application fixture 3 also includes a sealing cover 38; the sealing cover 38 is horizontally installed on the upper end of the upper grease application seat 32 and covers the grease application cavity; by setting the sealing cover 38 on the top of the grease application fixture 3, the grease application cavity can be covered by the sealing cover 38 when not in operation, preventing particles and dust from entering the grease application cavity and further avoiding grease contamination.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the metering valve assembly 4 includes a protective cover 41 mounted on the machine base 2 and two metering valves 42 mounted inside the protective cover 41 and connected to the oil inlets 35 in the upper grease seat 32 and the lower grease seat 31 respectively, to achieve metered oil dispensing and improve the quality of oiling.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the grease filling assembly 5 includes two vertically placed lifting cylinders 51 with their drive ends facing upwards, a horizontally placed movable seat 52 connected to the two lifting cylinders 51 at both ends, an oil tank 53 located between the two lifting cylinders 51, an oil pressure plate 54 located directly above the oil tank 53, and an oil suction pump 55 mounted on the movable seat 52 and connected to the oil pressure plate 54 via an oil suction pipe 55; the oil suction pump 55 is connected to two metering valves 42 via pipes.

[0043] During operation: Two lifting cylinders 51 drive the movable seat 52 to press down, thereby using the oil extraction pipe 55 to drive the oil pressure plate 54 to extend into the oil tank 53. At the same time, the oil suction pump 55 extracts oil and delivers the grease to the metering valve 42. The grease in the oil tank 53 can be replaced after it is used up. The grease delivery of this utility model is driven by gas, which is safe and reliable. The added oil pressure plate 54 can increase the working pressure during oil extraction, resulting in a large oil output and enabling long-distance grease delivery. It has a wide range of applications and can also easily extract and deliver high-viscosity grease. At the same time, the oil pressure plate 54 facilitates the removal of grease from the inner wall of the oil tank 53, reducing residue.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the machine base 2 is equipped with casters 7 with support functions at the four corners of its bottom. When the machine needs to be moved, the support components can be retracted and the machine can be moved by the casters; when the machine needs to work, the support components can be lowered to improve stability.

[0045] The above are merely specific application examples of this utility model and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformations or equivalent substitutions fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
