[0002] Vertical mills are commonly used equipment in the cement industry. Due to their large production load and long operating time, they are easily affected by materials and their operation is unstable. When lubrication is insufficient, joints such as mill disc bearings, reducers, and rollers are prone to wear, which affects production safety, increases the labor intensity of workers, and increases maintenance costs.

[0003] Existing lubrication methods are mostly manual quantitative lubrication. Excessive lubrication can cause overheating, while insufficient lubrication can exacerbate wear. Lubrication of internal lubrication points requires stopping the machine, and upstream and downstream equipment must be started and stopped simultaneously. Utility Model Content

[0009] Preferably, the oil outlet of the oil storage tank is connected to a solenoid valve via a high-pressure oil pipe, and the central control room network is connected to the input signals of the PLC and the matching touch screen via a network cable protocol.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 An automatic lithium-based grease lubrication system for a cement vertical mill includes a central control room network 1, which is wirelessly connected to a centralized lubrication host 2; the centralized lubrication host 2 is connected to a valve control box 3 via a high-pressure oil pipe, and the valve control box 3 is connected to a refueling point 4 via a branch oil pipe; the centralized lubrication host 2 includes a high-pressure pump 21, which is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the centralized lubrication host 2.

[0020] An oil storage tank 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the high-pressure pump 21, and an infrared sensor 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the oil storage tank 22; a PLC and a matching touch screen 24 are fixedly installed on the top of the inner cavity of the centralized lubrication host 2. By setting the PLC and the matching touch screen 24, remote monitoring and adjustment of equipment lubrication parameters can be achieved, and remote manual lubrication can be performed.

[0021] The valve control box 3 includes a solenoid valve 31. A multi-way valve block 32 is installed on the surface of the solenoid valve 31. A pressure transmitter 34 is connected to the outlet of the multi-way valve block 32. A pressure reducing valve 33 is connected to the outlet of the pressure transmitter 34. The pressure transmitter 34 detects the internal pressure of the pipeline.

[0022] When the oil circuit becomes blocked, it detects an increase in oil pressure and sends a signal to the PLC and the matching touch screen 24 for display, reminding the staff to perform maintenance.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 The oil outlet of the oil storage tank 22 is connected to the solenoid valve 31 through a high-pressure oil pipe. The central control room network 1 is connected to the input signals of the PLC and the matching touch screen 24 through the network cable (Modbus TCP) protocol. The central control room network 1 determines the lubrication demand based on the current and temperature, and sends signals to the PLC and the matching touch screen 24 to control the refueling and realize on-demand refueling.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 The output terminals of the PLC and the matching touch screen 24 are unidirectionally electrically connected to the input terminals of the solenoid valve 31 and the pressure transmitter 34 respectively via communication lines. The output terminal of the pressure transmitter 34 is connected to the input terminals of the PLC and the matching touch screen 24 via signal.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 There are several refueling points 4, and each refueling point 4 is matched with a valve control box 3. The pressure reducing valve 33 is connected to the refueling point 4 through a branch oil pipe. Each refueling point 4 is individually controlled by the valve control box 3, and the refueling amount is set according to the different lubrication point positions.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 The detection end of the infrared sensor 23 extends into the interior of the oil storage tank 22, and the output end of the infrared sensor 23 is connected to the input end of the PLC and the matching touch screen 24.

[0027] In use, the staff controls the system through the central control room network 1. The infrared sensor 23 detects the oil level inside the oil storage tank 22. The high-pressure pump 21 pumps the lubricating oil out of the oil storage tank 22 and into the valve control box 3 through the high-pressure oil pipe. When a certain refueling point 4 needs to be supplied with oil, the operator opens the corresponding solenoid valve 31 inside the upstream valve control box 3 through the PLC and the matching touch screen 24, so that the lubricating oil is discharged into the refueling point 4 through the valve control box 3 for oil supply.

[0028] In summary, the lithium-based grease automatic lubrication system of this cement vertical mill, through the cooperation of the central control room network 1, centralized lubrication host 2, valve control box 3 and lubrication point 4, solves the problems of existing lubrication methods, which are mostly manual quantitative lubrication, where excessive lubrication will cause overheating and insufficient lubrication will aggravate wear, and where lubrication points require stopping the machine to lubricate and upstream and downstream equipment need to be started and stopped simultaneously.
