Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lubrication device technology, specifically a lubrication device for chain processing. Background Technology

[0002] As industrial production continues to move towards automation and precision, the chain, as a core component of mechanical transmission, plays a decisive role in the overall performance of the equipment due to its processing quality. However, traditional manual application and immersion lubrication methods are prone to problems. Manual application is inefficient and results in uneven lubrication, while immersion causes a large waste of lubricating oil and pollution, and also affects the operation of high-speed chains. In response to the current urgent need for efficient, precise, and environmentally friendly lubrication in production, we need to develop a new type of chain processing lubrication device that can accurately control the amount and location of lubricating oil, achieve automated operation, and take into account energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN217736880U discloses a high-efficiency lubrication and coating device for manufacturing chains. By setting up a lubrication device, turning on the drive motor causes the take-up and release wheel axles to rotate under force, pulling the chain body to move and wind around. The guide wheel rotates under force, and the chain body is simultaneously subjected to force and transmission with the surface of the driven wheel. The chain body is also successively subjected to force and immersed in the inner wall of the oil tank. The drive wheel and the release wheel axle rotate under force simultaneously. By setting up a lubrication device, it is easy to remove the chain body after production by immersing it in the lubricating oil in the oil tank, which increases the lubrication efficiency and effectively improves the stability of the equipment. Furthermore, by setting up a cleaning device, pulling the lever causes the telescopic spring to expand under force, and the insert block to move away from the surface of the connecting block. Then, pulling the support rod causes the connecting block to slide under force, and the tension spring to expand under force. The sponge block to separate under force. Then, when the chain body begins to be lubricated by the oil groove and is about to wrap around the surface of the take-up and release wheel axle, the support rod is released. The tension spring rebounds after losing its restraint, and the support rod pulls the sponge block to fit onto the surface of the chain body. Then, the lever is released, the telescopic spring rebounds after losing its restraint, and the insert block is inserted into the surface of the connecting block under force. By setting up a cleaning device, it is easy to clean excess grease from the surface of the chain body.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, directly immersing the chain in lubricating oil and cleaning it with a sponge is not an effective way to remove the lubricating oil from inside the chain. This results in the chain absorbing a large amount of dust and impurities during use. When these contaminants mix with the lubricating oil, they form sludge that adheres to the chain surface and surrounding equipment. Cleaning this sludge is very difficult and requires specialized cleaning agents and tools. Moreover, the presence of sludge may affect the normal operation of the chain and increase the risk of chain wear. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lubrication device for chain processing. By using this device, the problem of directly immersing the chain in lubricating oil and cleaning it with a sponge is solved. This method cannot effectively remove the lubricating oil from the inside of the chain, which leads to the chain absorbing a large amount of dust and impurities during use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lubrication device for chain processing, comprising a lubrication device, rotating devices at both ends of the lubrication device, two sets of cleaning devices at the upper end of the lubrication device, a lubrication box, two sets of protective plates hinged at the upper end of the lubrication device, two sets of spraying plates inside the lubrication box, and sliding grooves at the connection points of the two sets of protective plates; the rotating device includes a fixed plate, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the lubrication box, a connecting shell slidably mounted on the outside of the fixed plate, and a connecting plate fixedly mounted on the upper end of the connecting shell. The connecting plate has a rotating motor fixedly mounted on one side. The drive end of the rotating motor passes through the connecting plate, and a fixed roller is fixedly mounted on the drive end of the rotating motor. A rotating rod is fixedly mounted on the end of the fixed roller away from the rotating motor. A U-shaped rod is slidably mounted on the outside of the connecting shell. One end of the U-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the lubrication box, and a bolt is threaded onto one end of the U-shaped rod. One end of the bolt is fixedly connected to the connecting shell. The rotating device also includes an L-shaped connecting plate. A second fixed roller is rotatably mounted on the inside of the L-shaped connecting plate. A second rotating rod is fixedly mounted on one end of the second fixed roller. The second fixed roller and... Fixed roller 1 is positioned on the same horizontal line. When chain lubrication is required, open both sets of protective plates, and place the ring chain onto fixed roller 1 and fixed roller 2. The chain is then secured by the gap between the gears on the outer sides of fixed roller 1 and fixed roller 2 and the chain. After securing, close both sets of protective plates. Adjust the position of the connecting shell by rotating bolt 1 at one end of the U-shaped rod, adjusting the chain tension so that the lower part of the chain is positioned at the lower end of the sliding groove and restricted by it. At this point, the chain is lightly clamped by four sets of cleaning devices. The chain is then started... The motor drives the first fixed roller to rotate, which in turn drives the chain to rotate along the first and second fixed rollers inside the sliding groove. The chain rotating inside the sliding groove is sprayed with lubricant by the spray plate. After spraying, the chain is cleaned by the cleaning device. After several rotations, the chain is completely coated. At this time, the protective plate is opened and the chain is taken out for further processing. If the chain is not completely cleaned, the motor stops rotating and the spray plate does not spray. The chain can be cleaned a second time by manually rotating the first rotating rod to ensure that the chain is completely clean.

[0007] Preferably, the inner side of the lubrication box has two sets of liquid inlet grooves and two sets of liquid outlet grooves. The liquid outlet grooves are matched with the spraying plates. The outlets of the two sets of spraying plates are located at the lower ends of the two sets of sliding grooves. The lubricating liquid inside the lubrication box is drawn from the liquid inlet grooves through the spraying plates and sprayed out from the nozzle of the lubrication box to achieve lubrication of the chain and reuse of the lubricating liquid.

[0008] Preferably, the two sets of sliding grooves are fitted together, and the two sets of sliding grooves are matched with two sets of cleaning devices. A connecting column is fixedly installed inside the sliding groove, and the connecting column is fixedly connected to the protective plate. A second fixing plate is fixedly installed inside the sliding groove, and a rotating roller is rotatably installed on one side of the second fixing plate. When the lower end of the chain is rotated by the two sets of protective plates, it drives the two sets of connecting columns to be restricted, so that the chain is located at the lower end of the two sets of connecting columns and the chain is fitted with the two sets of rotating rollers, restricting the chain at the lower end of the sliding groove, and spraying is performed by the spraying plate.

[0009] Preferably, the lubrication tank is provided with a drain port, which is connected to the inside of the lubrication tank, and the lubricating fluid to be cleaned is discharged through the drain port.

[0010] Preferably, the cleaning device includes a U-shaped frame, inside which multiple sets of cleaning rollers are rotatably installed. The cleaning rollers are connected to the U-shaped frame by bolts. Two sets of U-shaped frames are located on both sides of the sliding groove. When a portion of the lower end of the chain is located at the lower end of the sliding groove and is restricted by two sets of connecting posts, the chain is restricted by four sets of U-shaped frames. At the same time, the chain is in contact with the cleaning rollers. When the chain rotates on fixed roller one and fixed roller two, the chain located at the lower end of the sliding groove is cleaned by the cleaning rollers after being sprayed with lubricant. Similarly, after several rotations, the entire chain is lubricated and cleaned.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This utility model proposes a chain processing lubrication device. When chain processing lubrication is required, two sets of protective plates are opened, and the annular chain is fitted onto fixed roller one and fixed roller two. The chain is further secured by the gap between the gears on the outer sides of fixed roller one and fixed roller two and the chain. After securing, the two sets of protective plates are closed, and the position of the connecting shell is adjusted by rotating the bolt one at one end of the U-shaped rod, thereby adjusting the chain tension so that the lower part of the chain is located at the lower end of the sliding groove and is restricted by the sliding groove. At this time, the chain is lightly clamped by four sets of cleaning devices. The starting motor drives the first fixed roller to rotate, which in turn drives the chain to rotate along the first and second fixed rollers inside the sliding groove. The spraying plate sprays lubricant onto the chain rotating inside the sliding groove. After spraying, the chain passes through a cleaning device for oil absorption and cleaning. After several rotations, the chain is fully coated. At this point, the protective plate is opened, and the chain is taken out for further processing. If the chain is not completely cleaned, the motor stops, and the spraying plate does not spray. The chain can be cleaned a second time by manually rotating the first rotating rod to ensure complete cleaning of the chain. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0021] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Combination Figure 1-5A lubrication device for chain processing includes a lubrication device 1, with rotating devices 2 at both ends of the lubrication device 1, and two sets of cleaning devices 3 at the upper end of the lubrication device 1. The lubrication device 1 includes a lubrication box 11, with two sets of protective plates 12 hinged to the upper end of the lubrication device 1. Two sets of spray plates 13 are installed inside the lubrication box 11, and sliding grooves 121 are provided at the connection points of the two sets of protective plates 12. The rotating device 2 includes a fixed plate 21, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the lubrication box 11. A connecting shell 22 is slidably installed on the outside of the fixed plate 21, and a connecting plate 23 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting shell 22. A rotating device is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 23. The rotating motor 24 has its drive end passing through the connecting plate 23. A fixed roller 25 is fixedly installed on the drive end of the rotating motor 24. A rotating rod 26 is fixedly installed on the end of the fixed roller 25 away from the rotating motor 24. A U-shaped rod 27 is slidably installed on the outer side of the connecting shell 22. One end of the U-shaped rod 27 is fixedly connected to the lubrication box 11. A bolt 271 is threaded onto one end of the U-shaped rod 27. One end of the bolt 271 is fixedly connected to the connecting shell 22. The rotating device 2 also includes an L-shaped connecting plate 28. A fixed roller 281 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the L-shaped connecting plate 28. A rotating rod 282 is fixedly installed on one end of the fixed roller 281. 281 and 25 are on the same horizontal line. When lubrication of the chain is required, open the two sets of protective plates 12, and put the ring chain onto 25 and 281. The chain is secured by the gap between the gears on the outside of 25 and 281 and the chain. After securing, close the two sets of protective plates 12. Adjust the position of the connecting shell 22 by rotating the bolt 271 at one end of the U-shaped rod 27 to adjust the tension of the chain. This ensures that the lower part of the chain is located at the lower end of the sliding groove 121 and is restricted by the sliding groove 121. At this time, the chain is slightly clamped by the four sets of cleaning devices 3. The starting motor 24 drives the fixed roller 25 to rotate, which in turn drives the chain to rotate along the fixed roller 25 and the fixed roller 281 inside the sliding groove 121. The spraying plate 13 sprays lubricant onto the chain rotating inside the sliding groove 121. After spraying, the chain is cleaned by the cleaning device 3. After several rotations, the chain is completely coated. At this time, the protective plate 12 is opened and the chain is taken out for further processing. When the chain is not completely cleaned, the starting motor 24 stops, and the spraying plate 13 does not spray. The chain can be cleaned a second time by manually rotating the rotating rod 26 to ensure that the chain is completely clean.

[0023] Combination Figure 2-3The lubrication tank 11 has two sets of liquid inlet grooves 111 and two sets of liquid outlet grooves 112. The liquid outlet grooves 112 are matched with the spraying plate 13. The outlets of the two sets of spraying plates 13 are located at the lower ends of the two sets of sliding grooves 121. The lubricating fluid inside the lubrication tank 11 is drawn from the liquid inlet grooves 111 through the spraying plate 13 and sprayed out from the nozzle of the lubrication tank 11 to achieve the lubrication treatment of the chain and at the same time, the lubricating fluid can be reused.

[0024] Combination Figure 2-3 , Figure 5-6 Two sets of sliding grooves 121 are fitted together, and the two sets of sliding grooves 121 are matched with two sets of cleaning devices 2. A connecting column 122 is fixedly installed inside the sliding groove 121. The connecting column 122 is fixedly connected to the protective plate 12. A second fixing plate 123 is fixedly installed inside the sliding groove 121. A rotating roller 124 is rotatably installed on one side of the second fixing plate 123. When the lower end of the chain is rotated by the two sets of protective plates 12, it drives the two sets of connecting columns 122 to be restricted, so that the chain is located at the lower end of the two sets of connecting columns 122 and the chain is fitted with the two sets of rotating rollers 124, restricting the chain at the lower end of the sliding groove 121, and spraying is performed by the spraying plate 13.

[0025] Combination Figure 2-3 The lubrication tank 11 is provided with a drain port 14, which is connected to the interior of the lubrication tank 11. The lubricating fluid to be cleaned is discharged through the drain port 14.

[0026] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 6 The cleaning device 3 includes a U-shaped frame 31, inside which multiple sets of cleaning rollers 32 are rotatably installed. The cleaning rollers 32 are connected to the U-shaped frame 31 by bolts 33. The two sets of U-shaped frames 31 are located on both sides of the sliding groove 121. When the lower part of the chain is located at the lower end of the sliding groove 121 and is restricted by the two sets of connecting posts 122, the chain is restricted by the four sets of U-shaped frames 31. At the same time, the chain is in contact with the cleaning rollers 32. When the chain rotates on the fixed roller 25 and the fixed roller 281, the chain located at the lower end of the sliding groove 121 is cleaned by the cleaning rollers 32 after being sprayed with lubricant. Similarly, after the chain rotates several times, the lubrication and cleaning of the entire chain is completed.

[0027] Working principle: When the chain needs to be processed and lubricated, open the two sets of protective plates 12, and put the ring chain on the fixed roller 1 25 and fixed roller 281. The chain is fixed by engaging the outer gear with the chain gap. Then close the protective plates 12. Adjust the position of the connecting shell 22 by rotating the bolt 271 at one end of the U-shaped rod 27 to adjust the chain tension, so that the lower part of the chain is located at the lower end of the sliding groove 121 and is restricted by it. At this time, the chain is slightly clamped by the four sets of cleaning devices 3. Start the rotating motor 24 to drive the fixed roller 1 25 to rotate, which in turn drives the chain along the fixed roller 1 25 and the fixed roller 281. The second 281 rotates in the sliding groove 121. The spray plate 13 draws lubricating liquid from the lubrication tank 11 from the liquid inlet 111 and sprays it onto the chain rotating in the sliding groove 121 from the nozzle. After spraying, the chain is cleaned by the cleaning roller 32 of the cleaning device 3. After several rotations, the overall coating is completed. If the chain is not cleaned completely, the rotating motor 24 stops rotating and the spray plate 13 stops spraying. The rotating rod 26 can be manually rotated for secondary cleaning. The lubricating liquid in the lubrication tank 11 can be circulated and used in conjunction with the spray plate 13 through the liquid outlet 112. The lubricating liquid to be cleaned can be discharged through the drain port 14.
