Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum can stretching technology, and in particular to an automatic oiling system for the aluminum can stretching process. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum cans, a common metal packaging container both domestically and internationally, are popular among consumers due to their attractive appearance, ease of opening, and portability. The stretching machine, as the main production equipment for aluminum cans, requires daily replenishment of a certain amount of XP150 gear lubricating oil.
[0003] Currently, the industry's refueling method relies entirely on manual bucket lifting, which is inefficient. This consumes the energy and time of staff, and when carrying lubricating oil across the site, drips are inevitable, increasing the risk of accidental slips and falls. Therefore, an automated refueling system for the can stretching process is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies that rely on manual filling of cans, which is inefficient, consumes the energy and time of workers, and inevitably causes oil to drip when carrying lubricating oil through the site, increasing the risk of accidental slips and falls. Therefore, this invention proposes an automatic oiling system for the can stretching process.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic refueling system for the stretching process of an easy-open can includes an oil tank. A gear pump is fixedly installed on the top of the oil tank. A suction pipe is fixedly installed on the suction end of the gear pump. The suction pipe passes through the top of the oil tank and is located inside the oil tank. An oil delivery pipe is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the gear pump. At least one refueling mechanism is provided around the circumference of the oil delivery pipe.
[0007] The refueling mechanism includes a branch pipe, which is fixedly connected to the circumference of the oil pipeline. A pneumatic angle seat valve is fixedly installed at the bottom of the branch pipe, and a solenoid valve for controlling the pneumatic angle seat valve is connected to one side of the pneumatic angle seat valve.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the top of the oil tank is provided with a replenishment port, and a blind plate is fixed to the top of the replenishment port by bolts.
[0009] As a further improvement of this invention, a viewing window is provided on one side of the oil tank.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a Y-type filter is installed on the top of the pneumatic angle seat valve via an external threaded internal connector.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a maintenance valve is installed on the top of the Y-type filter via an external thread internal connector, and the maintenance valve is fixedly connected to the branch pipe via the external thread internal connector.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a main valve is installed around the circumference of the oil pipeline, and the main valve is close to the gear pump to control the opening and closing of the oil pipeline.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a steel wire hose is installed at the bottom of the pneumatic angle seat valve through an external threaded internal connector, and the steel wire hose and the external threaded internal connector above it are fixed by a hose clamp.
[0014] In this application, oil supply pipes and branch pipes are laid to each stretching machine, and then connected to the oil inlet of the stretching machine through steel wire hoses. When oil is needed, the angle seat valve is opened by controlling the solenoid valve and the gear pump is started. The gear pump draws lubricating oil from the oil tank, and the lubricating oil enters the branch pipe through the oil supply pipe. After being filtered by the Y-type filter, it is then fed into the stretching machine through the steel wire hose. This reduces the workload and intensity of the workers, eliminates the safety hazards of dripping and slipping when manually lifting oil, and improves the refueling efficiency and reduces downtime.
[0015] Beneficial effects: The automatic refueling system for the stretching process of a can in this utility model reduces the workload and intensity of workers, eliminates the safety hazards of dripping and slipping when manually lifting oil, and improves refueling efficiency and reduces downtime.
[0016] In this utility model, the automatic oiling system for the stretching process of a beverage can is provided by installing a Y-type filter above the pneumatic angle seat valve. This allows the Y-type filter to filter out solid particles and impurities mixed in the lubricating oil, preventing impurities from entering the stretching machine.
[0017] This invention reduces the workload and intensity of workers, eliminates the safety hazards of slipping and falling while manually lifting oil, improves refueling efficiency, and reduces downtime. At the same time, the Y-type filter can filter solid particles and impurities mixed in the lubricating oil, preventing impurities from entering the stretching machine. Attached Figure Description
