Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheel hub bearing technology, and in particular to a structure for uniformly injecting grease into wheel hub bearings. Background Technology

[0002] Wheel hub bearings are one of the key components of automobiles and other vehicles. Their main functions are to bear the weight of the vehicle and provide precise guidance for the rotation of the wheel hub. Their working environment is relatively harsh, bearing large radial and axial loads, while also adapting to different driving speeds and road conditions. In order to ensure that wheel hub bearings can work properly, reduce friction, reduce wear, and improve sealing and heat dissipation, good lubrication is essential. Grease can form an oil film between the rolling elements and raceways of the bearing, effectively reducing the coefficient of friction, reducing direct metal-to-metal contact, and thus extending the service life of the bearing.

[0003] Traditional grease application involves applying grease to a scraper and then manually spreading it onto the wheel hub bearing. This method is not only time-consuming but also makes it difficult to ensure even grease distribution on the bearing surface, often resulting in uneven grease distribution. Furthermore, the grease injection process can contaminate surrounding areas and lead to waste. Additionally, due to the properties of grease, it tends to accumulate in the channels. Currently, the market utilizes multiple sets of angled oil outlets arranged in a ring array on the grease injection mold and mandrel to spray grease into the bearing grooves at different angles. This, combined with the centrifugal force of the rotating bearing, helps prevent localized accumulation. However, this method still cannot effectively and evenly distribute grease on the bearing, leading to insufficient lubrication in certain areas, increasing the risk of wear and failure. Additionally, some grease is wasted because it doesn't reach the bearing, causing spillage and environmental impact while increasing costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a wheel hub bearing grease uniform injection structure, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art where the grease is not evenly applied to the bearing, resulting in insufficient lubrication in some parts of the bearing, and the grease will not be injected into the bearing, thus affecting the environment.

[0037] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 2 A support block 28 is firmly fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the output pipe 204. The support block 28 provides stable support for the output pipe 204. A valve 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the output pipe 204.

[0039] Working principle: First, place the bearing on the base 14 above the support block 10 and fix it with the gap between the fixing block 15 and the bearing. Then, use the hydraulic rod 4 on the frame 3 to move the moving plate 5 downward. After the needle 8 is aligned with the bearing, start the motor 12 in the protective shell 11. The motor 12 will rotate the shaft 13, which will then drive the base 14 to rotate, causing the bearing that is engaged with the fixing block 15 to rotate as well. At this time, lubrication can be performed. Since the bearing is rotating during the lubrication process, the grease is injected evenly into the bearing, preventing the grease from hindering the normal flow of the lubricant inside the bearing.

[0040] During the filling process, grease will spill onto the workbench 1. At this time, the water pump 202 inside the water tank 201 can be started. The water pump 202 will pump water out of the water tank 201 and deliver it through the water supply pipe 203 to the output pipe 204. Then, the water will be sprayed out from the nozzle 205 on the output pipe 204 to rinse the top surface of the workbench 1. During the rinsing process, some water will flow into the interior through the drainage holes 208 on the top surface of the workbench 1. After passing through the filter plate 207 to filter out some iron filings and grease, the water will flow into the area below the filter plate 207. Then, the water pump 206 will deliver the water back into the water tank 201 to complete the circulation. This saves costs and also cleans the workbench 1.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
