[0002] Peripheral drive thickeners are core equipment in industries such as mineral processing and water treatment. Their peripheral drive mechanisms, including the traveling gears that track along the pool wall and the drive sprockets that rotate the scraper arm, bear enormous loads and operate in harsh environments, making them prone to wear. Effective lubrication of these critical components is essential to ensure long-term stable operation and extend the equipment's service life. Existing lubrication methods mainly involve manual, periodic oiling, which suffers from low efficiency, uneven lubrication, difficulty in covering all lubrication points, operational hazards, oil waste, and environmental pollution. While some automatic lubrication systems, such as centralized lubrication systems, exist, they are typically complex in structure, costly, and require extensive installation and maintenance, making them overly complex or uneconomical for certain applications. Therefore, a simple, effective, economical, and easy-to-implement lubrication method is needed. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] The purpose of this invention is to provide a peripheral drive concentrator lubrication device to solve the problems existing in the prior art. It has a simple structure, is easy to use, and has low cost.

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] This utility model provides a lubrication device 100 for a peripheral drive concentrator, comprising: an oil storage box 1, a main oil guide pipe 2, a branch oil guide pipe, and a flow regulating valve 3. The oil storage box 1 is installed on the main structure of the concentrator to store lubricating oil. The top end of the main oil guide pipe 2 is connected to and communicates with the bottom of the oil storage box 1. The first end of the branch oil guide pipe is connected to and communicates with the bottom end of the main oil guide pipe 2, and the second end of the branch oil guide pipe is positioned above the part of the concentrator that needs lubrication. The second end of the branch oil guide pipe has an oil outlet so that the lubricating oil in the oil storage box 1 can flow through the main oil guide pipe under its own gravity. After pipe 2 and the oil guide branch pipe, the oil flows out from the outlet and falls to the part that needs lubrication; the flow regulating valve 3 is installed on the main oil guide pipe 2 to regulate the flow rate of lubricating oil through the main oil guide pipe 2; the oil storage box 1 is installed on the main structure of the concentrator for easy fixing and arrangement; the main oil guide pipe 2 connects the oil storage box 1 and the oil guide branch pipe, becoming a reliable channel for the flow of lubricating oil; the oil guide branch pipe is located above the lubrication part and has an oil outlet, which realizes precise drip lubrication by using gravity; the flow regulating valve 3 can flexibly control the flow rate of lubricating oil according to actual needs, ensuring appropriate lubrication for different parts under different working conditions.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the oil guide branch pipe includes a first branch pipe 4 and a second branch pipe 5. The top end of the first branch pipe 4 is connected to and communicates with the bottom end of the main oil guide pipe 2, and the bottom end is located above the concentrator's traveling wheel gear ring 7. The top end of the second branch pipe 5 is connected to and communicates with the bottom end of the main oil guide pipe 2, and the bottom end is located above the concentrator's drive sprocket 8. Dividing the oil guide branch pipe into the first branch pipe 4 and the second branch pipe 5, and aligning them with the two key lubrication points of the concentrator's traveling wheel gear ring 7 and drive sprocket 8 respectively, enables targeted oil supply to these two important components, further improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of lubrication of the key moving parts of the concentrator, reducing component wear caused by inadequate lubrication, and ensuring the stable operation of the concentrator.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the first branch pipe 4 includes a first inclined section and a first horizontal section. The higher end of the first inclined section is connected to and communicates with the bottom end of the main oil guide pipe 2, and the lower end of the first horizontal section is connected to and communicates with the first inclined section. The end of the first horizontal section away from the first inclined section is a closed end. Multiple first drip ports are provided at the bottom of the first horizontal section. With this structural design of the first branch pipe 4, the first inclined section facilitates the rapid flow of lubricating oil into the horizontal section by gravity, the closed end of the horizontal section prevents the lubricating oil from flowing out irregularly, and the multiple first drip ports increase the number of lubricating oil dripping points. When above the traveling wheel tooth ring 7, the lubricating oil can drip more evenly onto the traveling wheel tooth ring 7, improving the uniformity of lubrication and reducing local wear.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the second branch pipe 5 includes a second inclined section and a second horizontal section. The higher end of the second inclined section is connected to and communicates with the bottom end of the main oil guide pipe 2, and the second horizontal section is connected to and communicates with the lower end of the second inclined section. The end of the second horizontal section away from the second inclined section is a closed end. Multiple second drip ports are provided at the bottom of the second horizontal section. Similar to the first branch pipe 4, this structure of the second branch pipe 5 ensures that lubricating oil can smoothly transition from the main oil guide pipe 2 to the second horizontal section by gravity. The closed end ensures that the lubricating oil accumulates and drips out regularly from the multiple second drip ports. Above the transmission sprocket 8, the lubricating oil can be evenly covered on the transmission sprocket 8, which helps reduce friction and wear between the sprocket and the chain, improves transmission efficiency, and extends the service life of the sprocket.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the main oil guide pipe 2 is a vertical or near-vertical pipe. The vertical or near-vertical pipe design makes the most of the gravity principle, allowing the lubricating oil to flow quickly and smoothly from the oil storage box 1 into the oil guide branch pipe. This avoids the accumulation and blockage of lubricating oil in the pipe, ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the entire refueling device, and facilitating stable and efficient oil supply to various lubrication parts.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the flow regulating valve 3 is a needle valve or a ball valve. Both needle valves and ball valves can precisely regulate small flow rates. By selecting these two types of valves as the flow regulating valve 3, the operator can precisely adjust the flow rate of the lubricating oil according to the actual lubrication requirements of different components of the concentrator, thereby achieving flexible adaptation to different working conditions and ensuring that each component receives the appropriate amount of lubrication, thus avoiding both insufficient lubrication and waste of lubricating oil.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes a cover 6. The top of the oil storage box 1 is provided with an oil inlet opening. The cover 6 is detachably fixedly connected to the top of the oil storage box 1 to close the oil inlet opening. The cover 6 is designed to cooperate with the oil inlet opening on the top of the oil storage box 1, so that the cover 6 can be easily opened when adding lubricating oil. In normal use, the cover 6 closes the oil inlet opening, which can effectively prevent dust, impurities and other contaminants from entering the oil storage box 1 and contaminating the lubricating oil, thus extending the service life of the lubricating oil, ensuring the cleanliness of the lubricating oil, and thereby improving the working reliability and lubrication effect of the entire refueling device.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] This embodiment provides a method of using the peripheral transmission concentrator lubrication device 100 as described in Embodiment 1;

[0037] Step S1: Prepare the refueling device: A refueling device is provided, comprising: an oil storage box 1, an oil guide main pipe 2 connected to the bottom of the oil storage box 1, a first oil guide branch pipe and a second oil guide branch pipe connected to the lower end of the oil guide main pipe 2, and a flow regulating valve 3 disposed between the oil storage box 1 and the oil guide main pipe 2 or disposed on the oil guide main pipe 2. Ensure that all components are properly connected and undamaged, and that the flow regulating valve 3 is functioning normally. The device structure required for this method is clarified, laying the foundation for subsequent operations. This refueling device with a specific structure integrates functions such as storage, flow guiding, and flow control, providing reliable hardware support for the lubrication of the peripheral drive concentrator and ensuring that the lubrication process proceeds in an orderly manner according to the settings.

[0038] Step S2: Installation and Positioning: Install and fix the lubrication device to the truss or support structure of the peripheral drive concentrator using appropriate methods such as welding or bolting. During this process, use measuring tools and positioning devices to accurately align the lower outlet of the first oil guide pipe with the lubrication point of the concentrator's traveling gear, and accurately align the lower outlet of the second oil guide pipe with the lubrication point of the concentrator's drive sprocket 8. After installation, check the stability of the device and the operation of the moving parts to ensure that the lubrication device is stable and does not interfere with the moving parts of the concentrator. Precise installation and positioning ensures that the lubricating oil drips accurately to the key lubrication points, greatly improving lubrication efficiency and effect, reducing problems such as insufficient lubrication and additional wear of parts caused by deviations in the lubricating oil drop point, ensuring that the moving parts of the concentrator receive sufficient and necessary lubrication, and thus ensuring the normal and stable operation of the concentrator.

[0039] Step S3: Adding Lubricating Oil: Open the cover 6 on the top of the oil reservoir 1 (if there is a cover 6), add sufficient grade and quantity of lubricating oil to the oil reservoir 1 to meet the lubrication requirements of the peripheral transmission concentrator, and then securely connect the cover 6 to the top of the oil reservoir 1 to seal the oil inlet opening to prevent impurities from entering. Adding sufficient and suitable lubricating oil provides the necessary material basis for subsequent lubrication work. Sealing the oil inlet opening helps prevent dust, impurities and other contaminants from entering the oil reservoir 1 and contaminating the lubricating oil, which can extend the service life of the lubricating oil, maintain the cleanliness of the lubricating oil, and thus improve the reliability and effectiveness of the refueling device and the entire lubrication work.

[0040] Step S4: Flow Adjustment: Based on the actual lubrication requirements of key components such as the traveling gears and drive sprockets 8 of the peripheral transmission concentrator, and considering factors such as equipment operating conditions, speed, and load, operate the flow regulating valve 3 (needle valve or ball valve) installed on the main oil guide pipe 2. By slowly adjusting the valve opening, observe the flow of lubricating oil through the main oil guide pipe 2 and out through the branch pipes, ensuring the lubricating oil flows out at a suitable drip rate (e.g., X drops per minute, where X is determined based on actual operating conditions). This satisfies the lubrication needs of different components under current operating conditions. Precise flow adjustment ensures that key components such as the traveling gears and drive sprockets 8 receive adequate lubricating oil under different operating conditions. This avoids waste and contamination caused by excessive lubricating oil flow, and also prevents insufficient lubrication due to insufficient flow, reducing component wear, maintaining good equipment operating condition, and improving the overall performance and service life of the equipment.

[0041] Step S5: Operation and Inspection: During the operation of the peripheral drive concentrator, regularly inspect the lubrication device. Check the oil level in the oil storage box 1. If the oil level drops to a certain level, replenish the lubricating oil in time. Check the working status of the flow regulating valve 3 to ensure its adjustment accuracy is stable and that the lubricating oil flows out at the set flow rate. Observe whether the lubricating oil accurately drips through the oil guide branch pipe to the lubrication parts of the traveling gear and transmission sprocket 8, and the lubrication effect of each lubrication part, such as the wear of the parts and the operating sound. At the same time, check whether there are any abnormalities such as leaks at the connection parts of all components of the entire lubrication device. Continuous operation and inspection keep the entire lubrication process under control. Timely replenishment of lubricating oil can ensure the continuous and stable operation of the lubrication device. Ensuring the normal operation of the flow regulating valve 3 and the accurate dripping of lubricating oil can ensure the lubrication effect. Inspection of the connection parts of the components can promptly detect and solve potential problems. For example, leaks can lead to lubricating oil loss and environmental pollution. Early detection allows for timely repair and treatment, minimizing the impact on the normal operation of the concentrator, improving the reliability and stability of the lubrication device, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model.
