[0002] A double twisting machine is a machine used to manufacture steel ropes. In a double twisting machine, two or more sets of steel wires are intertwined and twisted together with a certain twist pitch and direction under the traction of a strand twister. Double twisting machines can twist multiple strands simultaneously, resulting in high production efficiency. They are widely used in the manufacturing process of various steel ropes. However, the complex structural design of double twisting machines, such as gear and gear ring transmission systems, requires regular lubrication and maintenance; otherwise, frictional wear can easily lead to transmission failure.

[0003] As a core piece of equipment in wire rope manufacturing, the double twisting machine requires continuous lubrication during operation due to frictional losses in its transmission systems, such as gears and gear rings. Lubrication is typically achieved through manual or automatic methods. Manual lubrication involves manually applying oil to the bearings of the oil pumping unit point by point using a grease gun or a small booster pump. This method is currently used for most oil pumping unit bearings. However, manual lubrication has several drawbacks: it requires stopping the machine for lubrication, the effective lubrication volume is small, there are safety concerns related to working at heights, it is extremely inconvenient, and it pollutes the equipment and the environment. Therefore, an automatic lubrication device for the double twisting machine is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The present invention provides an embodiment of an automatic lubrication device for a double twisting machine, comprising a housing 1, which serves as the main body of the lubrication device and protects the internal components, preventing external impurities from entering and affecting the lubrication effect. A mounting bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1, and mounting holes 3 are provided on the surface of the mounting bracket 2. By passing bolts through the mounting holes 3, the entire lubrication device can be easily fixedly installed at the corresponding position of the double twisting machine. The mounting bracket 2 is L-shaped. An adjustment component 11 is provided inside the housing 1, and an oil replenishment component 10 is provided on the top of the housing 1.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4The oil replenishment assembly 10 includes a fixed base 101, a can 102, and a moving rod 107. The fixed base 101 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell 1, providing support and a mounting base for the can 102. The bottom surface of the can 102 is provided with a groove 103 for storing grease. The groove 103 on its bottom surface cooperates with the protrusion 105 to achieve the positioning of the can 102. An elastic sheet 104 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed base 101. The elasticity of the elastic sheet 104 makes the protrusion 105 and the groove 103 in close contact, ensuring that the can 102 is stably installed on the fixed base 101. The side of the elastic sheet 104 away from the inner wall of the fixed base 101 is fixedly connected to the protrusion 105. The protrusion 105 is set as a semi-cylinder, and the surface of the protrusion 105 contacts the inner wall of the groove 103. The elastic sheet 104 is in a naturally extended straight state when not subjected to external force.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 The number of elastic plates 104 is set to two sets, and the protrusions 105 are set on the side of the two sets of elastic plates 104 that are close to each other. The moving rod 107 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed base 101. The front side of the moving rod 107 is fixedly connected to a control rod 106 for easy application of force by the operator. The moving rod 107 is moved by the control rod 106, which in turn drives the wedge block 108 to move. The rear surface of the moving rod 107 is fixedly connected to the wedge block 108. The cross-sectional shape of the wedge block 108 is set to a right trapezoid. The front side of the wedge block 108 is provided with an inclined surface. The movement of the wedge block 108 can disengage the protrusions 105 from the grooves 103, making it convenient to remove the tank 102 for oil replenishment or replacement.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 The adjustment assembly 11 includes a screw 111 threadedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. A knob 112 is fixedly connected to the right side of the screw 111 for easy rotation by the operator. The position of the screw 111 can be adjusted by rotating the knob 112. The adjustment assembly 11 also includes an oil outlet pipe 113 for conveying grease from inside the housing 1 to the parts of the twisting machine that require lubrication. The number of oil outlet pipes 113 is set to multiple, with the surface of the rightmost oil outlet pipe 113 being flush with the screw 111. The left side of 11 is rotatably connected, and the top of the oil outlet pipe 113 located on the far left is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 1. The front side of the oil outlet pipe 113 is connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 1 through a hose 114. The hose 114 connects the front side of the oil outlet pipe 113 to the inner wall of the outer casing 1, so that the grease can flow smoothly into the oil outlet pipe 113. The bottom of the oil outlet pipe 113 is provided with an oil outlet 116. The grease flows out through the oil outlet 116 to lubricate the double twisting machine.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5The adjustment assembly 11 also includes a hinge rod 115 and a shaft 117 that can be movably adjusted in angle. The number of hinge rods 115 is set to multiple, and the shaft 117 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the multiple hinge rods 115 so that the multiple hinge rods 115 form a scissor frame. The bottom of the shaft 117 is movably connected to the top of the oil outlet pipe 113. By adjusting the position of the shaft 117, the position and oil outlet direction of the oil outlet pipe 113 can be changed.

[0036] Working principle: In use, the entire device is first fixed to the twisting machine through the mounting holes 3 on the mounting bracket 2. When adding oil, the operator pulls the control lever 106, which moves the moving lever 107, causing the wedge block 108 to push the protrusion 105 outward, overcoming the elastic force of the elastic plate 104. This causes the groove 103 at the bottom of the can 102 to disengage from the protrusion 105, making it easy to remove the can 102 for oiling or replacement. After oiling is completed, the control lever 106 is released. Under the elastic force of the elastic plate 104, the protrusion 105 is re-embedded into the groove 103, quickly fixing the can 102 in place and improving work efficiency.

[0037] During the lubrication process, the grease flows from the tank 102 into the outer shell 1, and then enters the oil outlet pipe 113 through the hose 114. By rotating the knob 112, the screw 111 is driven. The scissor frame, which is composed of multiple hinge rods 115 and shafts 117, can adjust the position of the oil outlet pipe 113 as needed to meet the lubrication needs of different parts on the double twisting machine. The oil outlet 116 at the bottom of the oil outlet pipe 113 delivers the grease to the parts of the double twisting machine that need lubrication, realizing automatic lubrication and improving the normal operation and lubrication effect of the double twisting machine.

[0038] 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
