Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lubricating oil production, and in particular to a lubricating oil filling production line. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, lubricating oil filling production lines typically use a single conveyor belt for empty can transport and full can output after filling. The filling mechanism is directly connected to the conveyor belt, resulting in insufficient compactness in the production line layout. Furthermore, the conveyor belt needs frequent starts and stops during the filling process, impacting production efficiency. Traditional filling equipment often relies on manual operation or simple push-rod mechanisms for tank transfer, making precise positioning and automated transport difficult. This can easily lead to tank displacement or collisions, affecting filling stability. In addition, the filling mechanism is usually fixed, lacking a transfer mechanism that coordinates with the conveyor belt, resulting in an inefficient process for empty can loading and full can unloading, thus limiting the overall operating speed of the production line. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a lubricating oil filling production line that can optimize the conveyor layout, improve tank transfer efficiency, and achieve automated filling, thereby increasing production efficiency and operational reliability. Utility Model Content

[0040] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 A lubricating oil filling production line is described in detail with reference to a specific embodiment. It is to be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0041] A lubricating oil filling production line includes a can feeding mechanism, a can discharging mechanism, a filling mechanism, and a transfer mechanism.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the tank feeding and discharging mechanisms adopt a parallel double conveyor belt layout. The first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 110 are responsible for transporting empty tanks and discharging full tanks, respectively. They are arranged in parallel to form a highly efficient production line. The first conveyor belt 100 is equipped with equidistant first baffles 170, and the second conveyor belt 110 is equipped with corresponding second baffles 180. These baffles effectively separate the tanks, ensuring stability and accuracy during transport. Both conveyor belts are made of wear-resistant steel, possessing excellent load-bearing capacity and service life. A weighing platform 120 is installed between the two conveyor belts. Its position is optimized, located on the side of the outlet end of the first conveyor belt 100 and the inlet end of the second conveyor belt 110. This layout shortens the tank transfer distance and makes the overall structure more compact.
[0043] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the filling mechanism includes a weighing platform 120, a lifting frame 130 mounted above the weighing platform 120, a filling cylinder 140 that drives the lifting frame 130 to rise and fall, and a filling pipe 150 mounted on the lifting frame 130. The lifting frame 130 is driven by the filling cylinder 140 and can automatically adjust its height according to different sizes of oil tanks. A movable oil receiving tray 190 is provided below the filling pipe 150, and its position is controlled by an oil receiving cylinder 200 to effectively collect any possible dripping oil, keep the working environment clean, and avoid oil waste.
[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transfer mechanism includes a push rod 160 and a drive assembly. The drive assembly drives the push rod 160 to push the empty oil tank from the first conveyor belt 100 to the weighing platform 120. After the tank is filled with oil, the push rod 160 is driven again to push the full oil tank from the weighing platform 120 to the second conveyor belt 110. Specifically, each station of the first conveyor belt 100 is provided with two first through slots 240 for the push rod 160 to pass through. The second conveyor belt 110 is provided with two second through slots 250 corresponding to the first through slots 240. The weighing platform 120 is located between the two first through slots 240 and the two second through slots 250. The width of the weighing platform 120 is smaller than the diameter of the oil tank. The drive assembly includes a lifting cylinder 260 that drives the push rod 160 to rise and fall, and a motor slide mechanism 270 that drives the push rod 160 to move back and forth between the first through slots 240 and the second through slots 250. One drive assembly can drive one push rod 160 to move, or one drive assembly can drive two or more push rods 160 to move simultaneously. The motor slide mechanism 270 drives two vertical push rods 160 to below the first through slot 240, and the lifting cylinder 260 drives the push rods 160 to rise above the first through slot 240. Figure 3 As shown, the motor slide mechanism 270 drives the push rod 160 to smoothly transfer the empty oil can from the first conveyor belt 100 to the weighing platform 120; after filling, the push rod 160 moves again, accurately pushing the full can from the weighing platform 120 through the second channel 250 to the second conveyor belt 110, and then the lifting cylinder 260 drives the push rod 160 to descend below the second channel 250, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, the above cycle is repeated sequentially to achieve bidirectional automated transfer of the oil tank, ensuring a stable and reliable transportation process. It should be noted that the push rod 160 is covered with a buffer pad, which effectively absorbs the impact force during the transfer process, preventing damage to the oil tank surface, while also reducing mechanical noise and improving the stability and safety of equipment operation.
[0045] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, multiple weighing platforms 120 are sequentially arranged along the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 110, and multiple filling pipes 150 corresponding to the weighing platforms 120 are provided on the lifting frame 130, and multiple sets of push rods 160 are provided. By setting multiple weighing platforms 120, filling pipes 150 and push rods 160, synchronous filling at multiple workstations can be achieved, which can greatly improve production efficiency, meet the needs of large-scale industrial production, and reduce unit time costs.
[0046] It is worth mentioning that the production line is also equipped with a variety of auxiliary devices to improve performance. For example... Figure 1 As shown, photoelectric sensors are installed on both sides of the weighing platform 120. Through the cooperation of the induction switch 210 and the induction baffle 220, filling only begins when the oil tank reaches the weighing platform 120. Furthermore, a flow control valve 230 is installed on the filling pipe 150, connected to the weighing platform 120, which can dynamically adjust the filling flow rate based on real-time weight data, achieving precise control. In addition, the control system can be PLC-controlled and equipped with a human-machine interface, allowing operators to monitor and adjust production parameters in real time. These auxiliary devices collectively ensure the stable operation and precise control of the production line.
[0047] The lubricating oil filling production line operates with full automation. First, empty oil tanks are conveyed orderly to the outlet via the first conveyor belt 100, with baffles on the conveyor belt ensuring uniform spacing between tanks. Once a tank reaches its designated position, the push rod 160 of the transfer mechanism, controlled by the drive assembly, precisely pushes the empty tank smoothly onto the weighing platform 120. A photoelectric sensor triggers a signal, and after the weighing platform 120 completes the tare measurement, the lifting frame 130 lowers the filling pipe 150 to the appropriate height. The flow control valve 230 dynamically adjusts the filling flow rate based on real-time data from the weighing platform 120, achieving precise filling. After filling, the oil receiving tray 190, driven by the oil receiving cylinder 200, is positioned to catch any potential leaks. Simultaneously, the push rod 160 actuates again, pushing the full tank to the second conveyor belt 110 for output. The entire process is cyclical, with each station coordinating to form a continuous and highly efficient automated production line.

In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

[0049] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
