Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent fat-adding device technology, and in particular to an intelligent fat-adding device with a fault alarm function. Background Technology

[0002] A smart grease dispenser is a high-tech lubrication device that automatically adds grease to mechanical equipment according to preset times and cycles, ensuring good lubrication. The working principle of a smart grease dispenser is usually based on technologies such as mechanical drive and electronic control. Mechanically driven smart grease dispensers may achieve automatic grease dispensing through mechanical components such as motors and gears, while electronically controlled smart grease dispensers use microprocessors to control the operation of motors or pumps, precisely controlling the amount and timing of grease dispensing.

[0003] The device with the publication number CN212644198U is a conventional intelligent grease applicator. However, since this type of device is installed in complex environments such as production workshops, it can cause great damage to the grease applicator itself. Furthermore, it needs to be left in place for a long time after installation, making it difficult to guarantee that the device will not experience minor malfunctions. Common malfunctions include leakage of lubricating grease due to damage to the main housing of the grease applicator, or grease not being output from the output end.

[0004] In response to this, it is urgent to add fault monitoring and alarm functions to address the existing design flaws in order to improve the fault tolerance of the system. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and achieve the above-mentioned functions, this utility model provides an intelligent fat applicator with a fault alarm function.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A smart fat dispenser with a fault alarm function includes a fat dispenser body. A retaining ring is snapped into the bottom of the vertical shell of the fat dispenser body. An upward-facing photoelectric sensor is fixed in several threaded holes in the retaining ring. A baffle is installed on the outer side of the top of the retaining ring. A transparent plastic frame covering all photoelectric sensors is set between the baffle and the fat dispenser body.

[0008] A fat transfer detector is installed at the lower port of the fat transfer device body. An electrical control box is fixed to the side of the fat transfer detector. A rotating fat transfer wheel is installed inside the fat transfer detector. The position of the center axle of the fat transfer wheel is staggered with the position of the fat inlet to be detected.

[0009] Furthermore, the height of the transparent plastic frame is lower than the height of the baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, the fat inlet to be detected of the fat inlet detector is threadedly connected to the lower port of the fat applicator body, and the bottom end of the fat inlet detector is provided with a detected fat inlet, the specifications of which are the same as those of the lower port of the fat applicator body.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the axle passes through the sealing plate and is connected to the encoder shaft via a coupling, while the other end is fixed to a bearing inside the bearing block on the side wall of the grease detector.

[0012] Furthermore, the grease inlet roller has end caps on both sides with a distance greater than the diameter of the grease inlet to be inspected. The annular cavity between the two end caps is divided into fan-shaped cavities by several partitions. Each partition has a slot at its end and an anti-overflow plate is installed in the slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the anti-overflow sheet is made of elastic rubber and comes into contact with the inner walls of the upper and lower end faces of the fat transfer detector when it rotates.

[0014] Furthermore, an audible and visual alarm is installed on the top of the fat filler body.

[0015] Furthermore, the encoder is fixed inside the electrical control box by a support plate, and the control cable of the encoder passes through the wire hole on the electrical control box and connects to the control panel on the fat transfer detector.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: this utility model can dually monitor whether the body of the intelligent fat transfer device is damaged or malfunctioning and issue an alarm. On the one hand, it monitors and alarms the outer wall of the body, and on the other hand, it monitors and alarms the fat transfer pressure and flow rate. The manufacturing cost of the dual monitoring mechanism of this utility model is extremely low, and the price is controlled within one hundred yuan, which is conducive to mass production.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0030] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model includes a fat filler body 1. A retaining ring 3 is snapped into the bottom of the vertical shell of the fat filler body 1. To reduce production costs, the retaining ring 3 can be made of rigid PVC. An upward-facing photoelectric sensor 303 is fixed in several threaded holes inside the retaining ring 3. A baffle 301 is installed on the outer side of the top of the retaining ring 3. A transparent plastic frame 302 covering all photoelectric sensors 303 is provided between the baffle 301 and the fat filler body 1. The snap-fit ​​connection facilitates replacement and has extremely low replacement costs.

[0032] A grease delivery detector 4 is installed at the lower port of the grease delivery device body 1. An electrical control box 5 is fixed to the side of the grease delivery detector 4. A rotatable grease delivery wheel 6 is installed inside the grease delivery detector 4. The position of the central wheel shaft 7 of the grease delivery wheel 6 is staggered with the position of the grease inlet 401 to be tested, so as to ensure that the grease delivery wheel 6 can only flow in one direction under the impact of lubricating grease.

[0033] The height of the transparent plastic frame 302 is lower than the height of the baffle 301. All the cables of the photoelectric sensors 303 are centralized and connected to the audible and visual alarm light 2 and the control panel 101 for linkage.

[0034] The fat inlet 401 of the fat inlet detector 4 is threadedly connected to the lower port of the fat applicator body 1 for fixation. The bottom of the fat inlet detector 4 is provided with a detected fat inlet 402, and the specifications of the detected fat inlet 402 are the same as those of the lower port of the fat applicator body 1, ensuring that the installation specifications of the entire intelligent fat applicator are uniform.

[0035] One end of the axle 7 passes through the sealing plate 9 and is connected to the rotating shaft of the encoder 8 via the coupling 701. The other end is fixed on the bearing 702 inside the bearing block 703 on the side wall of the grease detector 4. The sealing plate 9 is located between the grease detector 4 and the electrical control box 5, and is the left end face of the grease detector 4, used to prevent grease leakage.

[0036] The grease inlet roller 6 has end caps 603 on both sides with a spacing greater than the diameter of the grease inlet 401 to be inspected. The annular cavity between the two end caps 603 is divided into a fan-shaped cavity by several partitions 601. Each partition 601 has a slot at its end and an anti-overflow plate 602 is installed in the slot. The installation method can be adhesive bonding.

[0037] The anti-overflow plate 602 is made of elastic rubber. When it rotates with the grease roller 6 and contacts the inner wall, it will undergo elastic deformation according to the direction of rotation. When rotating, it contacts the inner wall of the upper and lower end faces of the grease detector 4 to support the lubricating grease flowing out from above with the largest area and provide sufficient rotational power.

[0038] The fat filler body 1 is equipped with an audible and visual alarm 2 on its top, which can emit sound and light when an alarm is triggered to facilitate the staff to locate it.

[0039] The encoder 8 is fixed inside the electrical control box 5 by the support plate 801. The electrical control box 5 is also equipped with related switching power supplies, converters and other electrical control components, which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail. The control cable of the encoder 8 passes through the wire hole 501 on the electrical control box 5 and is connected to the control panel 101 on the fat transfer detector 4.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the outer shell of the grease applicator body 1 breaks, the pressure causes the lubricating grease to overflow and flow down. After flowing onto the transparent plastic frame, it blocks the detection distance of the photoelectric sensor 303, thereby triggering an alarm. Under normal circumstances, the lubricating grease in the grease applicator body 1 will flow down with normal pressure and flow rate, causing the grease delivery wheel 6 to rotate. The grease delivery wheel 6 will transmit the rotation angle and other relevant parameters to the control panel via the encoder 8. As long as the parameters are within the allowable error range, no alarm will be triggered. After the grease leakage occurs, the internal lubricating grease does not have sufficient pressure and flow rate, and the impact force generated will be greatly reduced. At the same time, the grease volume input to the grease delivery detector 4 will also be reduced. Overall, the rotation angle and number of rotations of the grease delivery wheel will be reduced or even not deflected, which will trigger the alarm function to remind of the abnormality.

[0041] The grease detection port 402 of the grease detector 4 in this utility model will normally flow out lubricating grease, which is fixed to the bearing seat to be lubricated or connected to the grease delivery tube.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
