Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearings, and specifically to a bearing grease injection device with a metering mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Bearings are crucial support components in mechanical systems. Their core function is to reduce the coefficient of friction and maintain rotational accuracy. This is achieved through the inner ring mating with the shaft, the outer ring mating with the bearing housing, and the rolling elements, such as steel balls or rollers, and the cage preventing direct contact between the rolling elements. Bearing grease injection forms an oil film between the rolling elements and the raceway to avoid direct metal-to-metal contact. Bearing grease injection devices ensure optimal lubrication of the bearing by injecting grease in precise quantities, thereby extending bearing life and improving equipment reliability.

[0003] A search revealed a bearing grease injection device (publication number CN213809987U). This device includes a support frame, a cylinder, a movable pressure plate, a hydraulic cylinder, a main grease outlet pipe, branch grease outlet pipes, a rotary joint, and an injection pipe. By designing specific structures for the main grease outlet pipe, branch grease outlet pipes, rotary joint, and injection pipe, only one main grease outlet pipe needs to be connected to the side wall of the cylinder to simultaneously inject grease into a large number of bearings of various specifications, greatly improving work efficiency and reducing the amount of grease remaining in the main grease outlet pipe. Because the grease outlet holes are arrayed on the circumference of the injection pipe, the uniformity of bearing grease injection is ensured. The connection between the branch grease outlet pipes and the main grease outlet pipe via a rotary joint allows each branch grease outlet pipe to rotate around the joint as an axis. Rotating the branch grease outlet pipe allows the corresponding injection pipe for the bearing to be fitted to to rotate to a specific height, facilitating manual or robotic insertion of the bearing into the corresponding injection pipe, further improving work efficiency.

[0004] Existing bearing grease injection devices, lacking a metering mechanism, can lead to large fluctuations in grease volume and unstable bearing lubrication during the grease injection process. Furthermore, relying solely on a metering pump for metered grease injection results in insufficient overall injection accuracy. In the comparative case mentioned above, the bearing grease injection device also lacks a metering mechanism. Consequently, under long-term use, the bearing grease injection device is difficult to adapt to bearings of various specifications, resulting in poor overall equipment versatility and requiring frequent replacement of parts or adjustment of parameters.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a bearing grease injection device with a metering mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bearing grease injection device with a quantitative mechanism. This device utilizes an electromagnetic control valve, a coarse feed cylinder, a spiral pusher, a metering chamber, an elastic wave sensor, a buffer chamber, a weighing plate, and a weighing sensor to achieve the quantitative mechanism. This mechanism, through multi-method coordinated control, allows for precise control of the grease injection amount error. Furthermore, it reduces manual intervention, significantly increases grease injection speed, and improves overall grease injection accuracy. Additionally, it allows for quantitative adjustment of the grease according to different bearing grease injection requirements, making the device adaptable to bearings of different specifications. This bearing grease injection device is highly precise. Precise grease injection avoids insufficient or excessive lubrication of bearings, reducing the risk of bearing overheating and oil film failure. This addresses the problem in existing bearing grease injection devices where the lack of a metering mechanism leads to large fluctuations in grease volume and unstable bearing lubrication. Furthermore, relying solely on a metering pump for quantitative grease injection results in insufficient overall injection accuracy. The bearing grease injection device in the comparative case also lacks a metering mechanism, making it difficult to adapt to various bearing sizes under long-term use. This results in poor overall equipment versatility and the need for frequent component replacement or parameter adjustments.

Then, the spiral pusher inside the coarse feed cylinder pushes the grease into the metering chamber, completing the quantitative coarse calculation. Next, multiple elastic wave sensors are installed outside the metering chamber. These sensors emit elastic waves, and the propagation time of the elastic waves is transmitted to the drive controller. The grease volume is calculated based on the time change, performing a secondary quantitative calculation. Finally, the quantitatively dispensed grease is pumped to… The buffer chamber is equipped with multiple weighing sensors to accurately weigh the injected grease. This allows for three quantitative calculations of the grease volume, giving the bearing grease injection device a quantitative mechanism.

It also allows for quantitative adjustment of the grease volume according to different bearing grease injection needs, making the device adaptable to different bearing specifications. This precise grease injection device avoids insufficient or excessive lubrication, reducing the risk of bearing overheating and oil film failure. Attached Figure Description

Pipe 23, the second feed pump 22 is fixedly connected to the buffer chamber 19, and multiple elastic wave sensors 15 (the model of elastic wave sensor 15 is WS100, which can be purchased from the manufacturer) are installed on the outside of the metering chamber 14. The elastic wave sensor 15 emits elastic waves and transmits the propagation time of the elastic waves to the drive controller 3. The volume of oil is calculated by the change in time, and a secondary quantitative calculation is performed. Then the quantitatively measured oil is pumped into the buffer chamber 19. Multiple weighing sensors 21 are also installed inside the buffer chamber 19 to accurately weigh the delivered oil.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a limit frame 6 is threadedly connected to the upper part of the feeding rack 4. A limit ring 7 is fixedly installed inside the limit frame 6. A bearing grease cylinder 8 is fixedly installed inside the limit ring 7. The bearing grease cylinder 8 can store grease in batches and is used to push grease to the bearing for grease injection at any time. The limit frame 6 is threadedly connected to the feeding rack 4. The bearing grease cylinder 8 and the feeding hopper 5 are vertically distributed. The limit frame 6 is used to assist the bearing grease cylinder 8 to be placed vertically above the feeding hopper 5 for grease to flow out. The spiral push rod 13 is rotatably connected to the coarse push cylinder 11. The metering chamber 14 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the grease injection machine 1.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, connect the external power supply, take out the bearing to be greased, and place the bearing directly on the bearing grease injection tray 26. Then, take out the bearing grease cylinder 8 and insert it vertically between the limiting rings 7 and place it into the feeding hopper 5. The grease is then vertically downward under the influence of the feeding hopper 5 and is first quantitatively fed into the coarse feeding cylinder 11 by the electromagnetic control valve 10. Then, turn on the servo motor 12 to drive the spiral push rod 13 to rotate. The grease is pushed into the metering chamber 14 by the spiral push rod 13 inside the coarse feeding cylinder 11, thus completing the quantitative coarse calculation. Then, multiple elastic wave sensors 15 are set on the outside of the metering chamber 14. The elastic wave sensors 15 emit elastic waves and transmit the elastic wave propagation time to the drive controller 3. The grease volume is calculated by the time change, and a second quantitative calculation is performed. Then, turn on the first feeding pump 17 to allow the first feeding pump 17 to draw the quantitative grease through the first extraction pipe 18 and input it into the buffer. In chamber 19, multiple weighing sensors 21 are installed inside the buffer chamber 19 to accurately weigh the injected grease. This allows for three quantitative calculations of the amount of grease injected, giving the bearing grease injection device a quantitative mechanism. This quantitative mechanism, through multi-method coordinated control, allows for precise control of the grease injection error. Moreover, this quantitative mechanism reduces manual intervention and significantly increases the grease injection speed. After the quantitative grease is extracted for the grease injection requirements of different bearings, the second feed pump 22 is turned on to extract the quantitative grease and input it into the grease injection ring 24. The grease injection head 25 on the grease injection ring 24 then evenly injects the grease into the bearing. Finally, the operator can flip the bearing over after grease injection to continue grease injection, thus completing the installation and use of the bearing grease injection device. After completion, the servo motor 12 switch, the first feed pump 17, and the second feed pump 22 switch are turned off. If not used for a long time, the external power supply can be disconnected. This completes the use of the bearing grease injection device with a quantitative mechanism.
