Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic coating technology, and in particular to an automatic lubricant applicator for wardrobe slide rails. Background Technology

[0002] Wardrobe slides, also known as drawer slides or guide rails, are an indispensable and important component of wardrobes, drawers, and other furniture. They are mainly used to support the smooth and unobstructed opening and closing of drawers, doors, and other components. Given the crucial role of wardrobe slides in daily use, proper maintenance is especially important, particularly for frequently used wardrobes and drawers. High-quality slide maintenance not only ensures smooth opening and closing every time, reducing noise and friction wear, but also significantly extends the lifespan of the slides. Through proper lubrication, it is possible to effectively prevent accelerated wear caused by long-term use, ensuring that the furniture remains like new for a long time.

[0003] However, existing methods of maintaining wardrobe slides usually require users to manually apply lubricant to the slides periodically. This process is not only tedious and time-consuming, but also quite laborious. In addition, when lubricating, users' hands may be at risk of slipping and getting injured by directly touching the slides, especially if the edges of the slides are sharp or if the user is careless.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic lubricant applicator for wardrobe slide rails to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the drawbacks of the tedious process of manually applying lubricant and the risk of slipping and injuring hands, this utility model provides an automatic lubricant applicator for wardrobe slide rails.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: An automatic lubricant applicator for wardrobe slide rails includes a cabinet body, tracks, protruding strips, door panels, auxiliary wheels, liquid storage tanks, metering pumps, connecting pipes, T-tubes, applicator heads, positioning rods, tapping plates, and torsion springs. Two tracks are symmetrically installed vertically on the front of the cabinet body. Each track is symmetrically connected to protruding strips both front and back. Door panels are slidably connected between the two corresponding tracks. Each door panel is symmetrically connected to two auxiliary wheels. Each door panel is symmetrically fitted with a liquid storage tank, and each door panel is symmetrically equipped with two metering pumps. Each liquid storage tank is symmetrically connected to a connecting pipe, and the other end of each connecting pipe is connected to the input end of the corresponding metering pump. Each metering pump output end is connected to a T-tube, and both ends of the T-tube are connected to applicator heads. Each door panel is symmetrically fixedly connected to two positioning rods, and a tapping plate is rotatably connected to each positioning rod. Torsion springs are wound between the positioning rods and the tapping plates, and the tapping plates are close to the metering pumps.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the connecting tube is made of a soft material.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the coating head is made of nanofiber material.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a scraper, with each coating head symmetrically and fixedly connected with a scraper on the left and right, and a gap of one millimeter is left between the scraper and the track.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a protective plate, with a protective plate symmetrically placed on the left and right sides of the front of each door panel.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a sliding block and a flange ring. Each connecting pipe has several vent holes circumferentially opened on the side near the liquid storage tank. A sliding block is slidably connected to the connecting pipe, and a flange ring is fixedly connected to the sliding block. The flange ring slides up and down inside the connecting pipe.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention uses the cooperation of the protrusion strip, the clapper and the torsion spring to squeeze the metering pump when the clapper is reset, thereby transporting the lubricant in the storage tank to the coating head through the connecting pipe and the T-shaped pipe, realizing the effect of automatic lubricant application, effectively improving the application efficiency, avoiding the risk of slippage when applying manually, and improving the convenience and safety of track maintenance.

[0013] 2. This utility model uses a scraper to ensure that the lubricant is applied more evenly to the wardrobe track, which not only greatly improves the application efficiency but also avoids the unevenness and waste that may be caused by manual application. Furthermore, by attaching the protective plate to the door panel, the liquid storage tank, metering pump, and connecting pipe are not directly exposed, thus avoiding damage caused by external collisions and extending the service life of this device.

[0014] 3. This utility model achieves precise blocking and unblocking of the connecting pipe and vent hole by moving the sliding block and flange ring up and down, effectively preventing the waste of lubricant. It can also remove dust on the track by drawing air through a metering pump when lubrication is not required and spraying gas through the spray head, thus achieving a highly efficient cleaning function.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] Example: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the system includes a cabinet 1, rails 2, protruding strips 201, door panels 3, auxiliary wheels 301, a liquid storage tank 4, a metering pump 5, a connecting pipe 6, a T-tube 7, a spray nozzle 8, a positioning rod 9, a tapping plate 10, and a torsion spring 11. Two rails 2 are symmetrically installed on the front of the cabinet 1 using screws. Each rail 2 has protruding strips 201 welded symmetrically front and back. Door panels 3 are slidably connected between the two corresponding rails 2. Each door panel 3 is symmetrically connected to two auxiliary wheels 301 on the left and right sides. Each door panel 3 has a liquid storage tank 4 symmetrically engaged on the left and right sides. Each door panel 3 also has a symmetrical connecting pipe on the left and right sides. Two metering pumps 5 are installed by screws. Each liquid storage tank 4 is symmetrically connected to a connecting pipe 6 by threads. The other end of each connecting pipe 6 is connected to the input end of the corresponding metering pump 5. Each metering pump 5 is connected to a T-shaped pipe 7 by a T-shaped pipe. The front and rear ends of the T-shaped pipe 7 are connected to a spray head 8. Each door panel 3 is symmetrically welded with two positioning rods 9. A tread plate 10 is rotatably connected to the positioning rod 9. A torsion spring 11 is wound between the positioning rod 9 and the tread plate 10. The tread plate 10 is close to the metering pump 5. The connecting pipe 6 is made of soft material, and the spray head 8 is made of nanofiber material.

[0024] When applying lubricant to the wardrobe slide rails using this device, first, rotate the upper connecting pipe 6 clockwise to separate it from the liquid storage tank 4. Then, pour an appropriate amount of lubricant into the liquid storage tank 4. After completing the lubrication, rotate the upper connecting pipe 6 counterclockwise to reattach it to the liquid storage tank 4. Subsequently, initiate the entire lubrication process by sliding the door panel 3. During the sliding process of the door panel 3, the door panel 3 will sequentially drive the liquid storage tank 4, the metering pump 5, the connecting pipe 6, the T-tube 7, the applicator head 8, the positioning rod 9, the tapping plate 10, and the torsion spring 11 to move together. When the door panel 3 slides, the protrusion strip 201 on the track 2 will push the tapping plate 10 to rotate and move away from the metering pump 5. At the same time, the torsion spring 11 will deform. Once the tapping plate 10 passes a protrusion on the protrusion strip 201, the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring 11 will cause the tapping plate 10 to quickly... During the reset process, the tapping plate 10 uses inertia to perform a tapping and squeezing action on the metering pump 5, thereby delivering the lubricant in the reservoir 4 to the T-tube 7 through the connecting pipe 6, and finally to the track 2 by the applicator 8. The nanofiber material makes the applicator 8 apply the lubricant more evenly and smoothly. This process is repeated every time the lubricant passes through a protrusion on the protrusion strip 201, so that the lubricant can be continuously distributed on the entire track 2 until the entire track 2 is covered with lubricant. After lubrication is completed, the reservoir 4 can be removed for cleaning. The connecting pipes 6 on the upper and lower sides are rotated clockwise to separate them from the reservoir 4. The reservoir 4 can then be easily removed from the door panel 3 for cleaning, preventing the residual lubricant from drying out or contaminating the newly added lubricant, and effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the reservoir 4.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a scraper 12. Each coating head 8 is symmetrically welded with a scraper 12 on the left and right, and there is a gap of one millimeter between the scraper 12 and the track 2.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a protective plate 13, with a protective plate 13 symmetrically placed on the left and right sides of the front of each door panel 3.

[0027] When the applicator 8 applies lubricant to the track 2, a tiny gap of one millimeter is intentionally left between the scraper 12 and the track 2. As the scraper 12 moves across the surface of the track 2, it effectively removes excess lubricant, ensuring that the lubricant is neither unevenly distributed nor overused. This avoids waste of excessive lubricant and also effectively prevents dust from adhering to the lubricant. When the storage tank 4 is full of lubricant, the protective plate 13 can be clipped onto the door plate 3 to prevent the storage tank 4, metering pump 5, and connecting pipe 6 from being directly exposed. This effectively protects the storage tank 4, metering pump 5, and connecting pipe 6 from damage caused by external collisions or dust accumulation, thus extending the service life of the device.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a sliding block 14 and a flange ring 15. Each connecting pipe 6 has four vent holes 601 circumferentially opened on the side near the liquid storage tank 4. The sliding block 14 is slidably connected to the connecting pipe 6, and the flange ring 15 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 14. The flange ring 15 slides up and down inside the connecting pipe 6.

[0029] In daily use, if lubricant is not needed for track 2, the door panel 3 should be removed first. Then, by moving the sliding block 14 downward, the flange ring 15 moves down to block the connecting pipe 6. At the same time, the sliding block 14 moves away from the vent hole 601, allowing the connecting pipe 6 to communicate with the outside through the vent hole 601. When the door panel 3 is pushed, the metering pump 5 draws in outside air through the vent hole 601 and sprays the gas from the applicator head 8, effectively blowing away the dust on track 2. Conversely, when lubricant needs to be applied to track 2, the sliding block 14 should be moved upward. The flange ring 15 moves upward and no longer blocks the connecting pipe 6. At the same time, the sliding block 14 blocks the vent hole 601, allowing the lubricant to be delivered normally to the applicator head 8 through the connecting pipe 6.

[0030] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
