They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0028] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-2 The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below.
[0030] Example: See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automatic lubrication device for the operating wheel of the cableway gondola includes a cableway support 1, which is set at a fixed position on the cableway, and a horizontal support 5 is fixed on one side of the cableway support 1.
[0031] The automatic lubrication device includes a lubricating oil bottle 6 and an oil-rubbing pad 14.
[0032] The lubricating oil bottle 6 is mounted on the cableway support 1 via an oil bottle fixing bracket 7. Specifically, the oil bottle fixing bracket 7 has an L-shaped structure. One side of the oil bottle fixing bracket 7 is connected to the cableway support 1 via a third fixing bolt 10, and the other side is fixed to the lubricating oil bottle 6 via a fixing strap 8 and a second fixing screw 9.
[0033] The oil-rubbing pad 14 is fixed on the horizontal support 5 for contacting the passing operating wheel 4. Specifically, the oil-rubbing pad 14 is fixed on the horizontal support 5 by a mounting plate 13, and the mounting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the horizontal support 5 by a first fixing screw 15; the oil-rubbing pad 14 is fixed on the mounting plate 13.
[0034] The lubricating oil bottle 6 and the oil-rubbing pad 14 are connected by a lubricating oil pipe 11; one end of the lubricating oil pipe 11 is connected to the lubricating oil bottle 6, and the other end is fixed to the mounting plate 13 by a fixing sleeve 16. An oil-permeable cotton thread 12 is provided inside the lubricating oil pipe 11, one end of which extends into the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil bottle 6, and the other end is connected to the oil-rubbing pad 14.
[0035] This embodiment of the structure achieves automatic lubrication of the operating wheel each time it passes through a fixed-position lubrication mechanism, eliminating the need for manual operation, improving efficiency and reducing safety hazards. It realizes automated lubrication and solves the problems of low efficiency, unevenness and safety hazards associated with manual lubrication.
[0036] Preferably, the oil-rubbing pad 14 is made of sponge material. Using sponge material for the oil-rubbing pad effectively ensures uniform lubrication, reduces wear on the operating wheel, and ensures high reliability.
[0037] In this embodiment, the cableway support 1 is provided with multiple fixing holes. The height of the lubricating oil bottle 6 can be adjusted by connecting the third fixing bolt 10 to fixing holes at different heights. The adjustable height of the lubricating oil bottle 6 is used to control the oil seepage rate of the oil-permeable cotton thread 12. This method of fixing the lubricating oil bottle achieves quantitative lubrication. By adjusting the height of the lubricating oil bottle to control the oil seepage rate, it can adapt to the seepage flow rate problems caused by different seasonal temperatures and oil viscosity.
[0038] Working principle of this utility model:
[0039] The automatic lubrication device, installed at a fixed position on the cableway that the operating wheel 4 must pass through in each cycle, ensures that the oil-rubbing plate 14 is in contact with the operating wheel 4. Lubricating oil in the lubricating oil bottle 6 slowly seeps to the oil-rubbing plate 14 through the oil-permeable cotton thread 12. When the gondola's gripper 3 passes along the track 2, the operating wheel 4 contacts the oil-rubbing plate 14, completing the lubrication. Furthermore, by adjusting the height of the lubricating oil bottle 6, the oil seepage rate can be changed to adapt to different ambient temperatures and varying lubricating oil viscosities.
[0040] This invention utilizes a fixed-position lubrication mechanism to automatically lubricate the operating wheel each time it passes, eliminating the need for manual operation, thus improving efficiency, reducing safety hazards, and solving problems such as low efficiency, uneven lubrication, and safety risks associated with manual lubrication. The overall structure is simple, easy to install and maintain, and cost-effective.
[0041] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
