Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grease tank technology, specifically a dipstick sealing device for a grease tank on the wheel flange of a rail locomotive. Background Technology
[0002] The main functions of grease are lubrication, protection, and sealing. The vast majority of greases are used for lubrication and are called anti-friction greases. Anti-friction greases primarily reduce mechanical friction and prevent mechanical wear. They also provide protection against metal corrosion and act as a sealant against dust. Some greases are mainly used to prevent metal from rusting or corroding and are called protective greases, such as industrial petroleum jelly. A few greases are specifically used for sealing and are called sealing greases, such as thread-locking grease. Most greases are semi-solid substances with unique fluidity. Grease containers need to be sealed with capping devices during storage.
[0003] However, most existing capping devices use traditional bolt fixing methods, which requires a lot of manpower and resources to cap, thus seriously affecting capping efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, this device can quickly fix the lid 2 and the body 1, thereby greatly improving the practicality of this device.
[0032] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the rotary lock assembly includes multiple locking blocks 11 installed on the outer surface of the housing 1 and multiple L-shaped locking plates 10 installed on the bottom of the housing cover 2. A sliding groove 12 adapted to the L-shaped locking plate 10 is provided between two adjacent locking blocks 11. The locking blocks 11 and the L-shaped locking plates 10 are fixedly connected by a positioning mechanism.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, this device can quickly lock and fix the box body 1 and the box cover 2 through the rotary locking assembly, thereby greatly accelerating the sealing efficiency of this device and thus greatly improving the practicality of this device.
[0034] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the positioning mechanism includes multiple fixed cylinders 3 disposed on the top of the box cover 2 and a positioning hole 17 opened on the top of the locking block 11. A movable rod 13 is movably connected inside the fixed cylinder 3. The top of the movable rod 13 extends above the fixed cylinder 3 and is fixedly connected to a fixed plate 14. The bottom of the movable rod 13 extends below the box cover 2 and is fixedly connected to a positioning rod 15. A return spring 16 is provided on the outer surface of the movable rod 13.
[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the device can quickly fix the box body 1 and the box cover 2 through the positioning mechanism, thereby avoiding relative sliding between the box cover 2 and the box body 1, and thus greatly improving the installation stability of the device.
[0036] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a sliding rod 5 installed on the top of the box cover 2 and a connecting ring 6 slidably disposed on the outer surface of the fixed cylinder 3. The outer surface of the sliding rod 5 is movably connected to the sliding ring 7. The top of the sliding ring 7 is fixedly connected to the pull plate 8. Multiple connecting rods 9 are installed on the circumferential side of the sliding ring 7. The other end of the connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 6.
[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, this device can lift multiple fixed plates 14 upwards at once through the lifting mechanism, thereby enabling operators to quickly unlock multiple positioning mechanisms and further improving the efficiency of operators in installing and disassembling the box cover 2.
[0038] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, an oil dipstick 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box cover 2.
[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, the amount of grease stored inside the housing 1 can be quickly measured using the dipstick 4.
[0040] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, a sealing ring 18 is provided at the connection between the box body 1 and the box cover 2.
[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing effect of this device can be greatly improved by utilizing the sealing performance of the sealing ring 18.
[0042] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, an anti-slip sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pull plate 8.
[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, the slip-resistant sleeve can prevent the hand from slipping.
[0044] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the inner diameter of the connecting ring 6 is smaller than the inner diameter of the fixed plate 14.
[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, since the inner diameter of the connecting ring 6 is smaller than the inner diameter of the fixed disk 14, the connecting ring 6 will drive the fixed disk 14 to move upward during the rising process.
[0046] In use, the operator can first align the L-shaped locking plate 10 at the bottom of the lid 2 with the sliding groove 12 on the outer surface of the box body 1 and insert it. Then, rotate the lid 2 so that the bottom of the L-shaped locking plate 10 rotates to below the locking block 11. During rotation, the top of the locking block 11 will first push the positioning rod 15 upward, so that the positioning rod 15 enters the fixed cylinder 3 through the compression return spring 16. When the lid 2 rotates the positioning rod 15 to the positioning hole 17, the positioning rod 15 will quickly spring into the positioning hole 17 under the elastic action of the return spring 16, thus quickly fixing the box body 1 and the lid 2, thereby greatly accelerating the sealing efficiency of this device. When it is necessary to open the lid... At time 2, the operator can pull the pull plate 8, causing it to slide the sliding ring 7 along the slide rod 5. This allows the sliding ring 7 to move the surrounding connecting rings 6 upward via the connecting rod 9. Since the inner diameter of the connecting ring 6 is smaller than the inner diameter of the fixed plate 14, the connecting ring 6 will move the fixed plate 14 upward during the upward movement. When the fixed plate 14 moves, it will drive the positioning rod 15 to disengage from the positioning hole 17 via the movable rod 13. After the positioning rod 15 is completely disengaged from the positioning hole 17, the operator can then rotate the box cover 2, causing the box cover 2 to rotate the L-shaped clamping plate 10 to the slide groove 12. Finally, the box cover 2 can be pulled upward, which greatly improves the disassembly efficiency of the box cover 2.
