Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pneumatic lift valve technology, specifically to an automatic lubrication device for the packing of a pneumatic lift valve. Background Technology

[0002] A pneumatic lifting valve is a type of valve that uses compressed air as a power source. Its main function is to lift and convey solid materials such as powder, granules, and small lumps.

[0003] Existing pneumatic lift valves typically use oil-soaked packing as the sealing component between the valve stem and the valve body. However, in actual use, due to environmental and temperature factors, the grease in the packing easily evaporates, causing the packing to harden and lose its sealing effect. This necessitates frequent lubrication of the packing. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but inadequate maintenance can also significantly shorten the packing's lifespan, easily leading to leakage of the valve's internal medium through the packing. In such cases, the packing needs to be replaced, resulting in further material and labor losses. Therefore, these problems urgently need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic lubrication device for the packing of a pneumatic lift valve. It has a simple structure and is easy to install. It replenishes the oil in the packing by storing oil, so as to achieve the effect of moisturizing the packing and maintaining its good sealing effect. This reduces the number of maintenance and increases the service life of the pneumatic lift valve.
