AI Technical Summary
The existing automatic oil filling machine has a simple clamping mechanism design, which can only clamp and position specific models of valve cover. This cannot meet the diverse production needs, which means that every time the valve cover model is changed, the entire clamping equipment needs to be replaced or complex debugging is required, increasing production costs and time, and reducing market response speed.
Employing a multi-track electric slide rail and a motor-driven clamping mechanism, combined with an arc-shaped support frame and cylinders, it achieves adaptive clamping of valve covers of different sizes. Furthermore, the position and angle of the injection needle are adjusted collaboratively by the electric slide rail and cylinders to adapt to the complex structure of the valve cover.
It enables adaptation to various valve cover sizes without changing clamping equipment, shortens the production cycle, improves oil injection accuracy and efficiency, and reduces production costs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile production technology, and more specifically, to an automatic oiling machine. Background Technology
[0002] The valve cover, also known as the cylinder head cover, is the uppermost sealing component of a car engine. Located above the valve chamber and on top of the cylinder head, it covers the valve mechanism, including key components such as valves, valve springs, rocker arms, and camshafts. When using the valve cover, it is often necessary to lubricate its surface with an automatic lubricator to maintain its seal during installation. However, the clamping mechanism of automatic lubricators is limited to specific valve cover models. Since valve covers for different car models vary significantly in size and shape, these lubricators cannot meet diverse production needs. Each change of valve cover model may require replacing the entire clamping equipment or complex adjustments, significantly increasing production costs and time, severely hindering production efficiency, and reducing the company's responsiveness to market demands. Therefore, we propose an automatic lubricator to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide an automatic oiling machine that solves the problem that when oiling valve covers, the clamping mechanism of the automatic oiling machine is designed in a single way, which can only clamp and position valve covers of a specific model. In automobile manufacturing, valve covers of different models vary greatly in size and shape, which means that these oiling machines cannot meet diverse production needs. Every time the valve cover model is changed, it may be necessary to replace the entire clamping equipment or perform complex adjustments to the equipment, which greatly increases production costs and production cycle, seriously restricts the improvement of production efficiency, and reduces the company's responsiveness to market demands.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An automatic oiling machine includes a base plate. A first electric slide rail is mounted in the middle of the upper surface of the base plate. A first slider is mounted on the upper end of the first electric slide rail. A placement plate is mounted on the upper end of the first slider. A clamping mechanism is mounted on the upper end of the placement plate. A support frame is mounted on the rear end of the upper surface of the base plate. A second electric slide rail is mounted on the upper part of the front surface of the support frame. A second slider is mounted on the second electric slide rail. A fixing block is mounted on the front surface of the second slider. A cylinder is installed inside the fixing block. A motor is mounted on the lower end of the fixing block, and the output end of the cylinder is connected to the motor. An arc-shaped support frame is mounted on the output end of the motor.

[0007] Preferably, an arc-shaped electric slide rail is installed on the lower inner surface of the arc-shaped support frame, and a third slider is installed inside the arc-shaped support frame. The third slider is connected to the arc-shaped electric slide rail, and the lower end of the third slider is connected to the temporary storage box.
[0008] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a sliding groove, which is located at both ends of the upper surface of the placement plate and corresponds one-to-one with the sliding groove. Movable blocks are movably installed inside the sliding groove, and clamping plates are installed on the upper ends of the movable blocks. The clamping plates are movably located at the upper end of the placement plate and are aligned with each other.
[0009] Preferably, guide rods are installed inside the slide groove, and the rods of the guide rods are movably installed inside the movable block.

[0023] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes an automatic oiling machine, including a base plate 1, a first electric slide rail 2 installed in the middle of the upper surface of the base plate 1, a first slider 3 installed at the upper end of the first electric slide rail 2, a placement plate 4 installed at the upper end of the first slider 3, a clamping mechanism 5 installed at the upper end of the placement plate 4, a support frame 6 installed at the rear end of the upper surface of the base plate 1, a second electric slide rail 7 installed at the upper end of the front surface of the support frame 6, a second slider 8 installed on the second electric slide rail 7, a fixing block 9 installed on the front surface of the second slider 8, a cylinder 10 installed inside the fixing block 9, a motor 11 installed at the lower end of the fixing block 9, and the output end of the cylinder 10 connected to the motor 11, an arc-shaped support frame 13 installed at the output end of the motor 11, a temporary storage box 17 installed on the arc-shaped support frame 13, the temporary storage box 17 being connected to an external storage tank through a pipe, and an oiling needle 18 being installed through the lower end of the interior of the temporary storage box 17.
[0025] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, a clamping frame 12 is installed on the lower surface of the output end of the motor 11, and the upper end of the arc-shaped support frame 13 is engaged with the clamping frame 12. A bolt 14 is threadedly installed between the arc-shaped support frame 13 and the clamping frame 12, and a nut is threadedly installed at one end of the bolt 14. An arc-shaped electric slide rail 15 is installed on the lower inner surface of the arc-shaped support frame 13, and a third slider 16 is installed inside the arc-shaped support frame 13. The third slider 16 is connected to the arc-shaped electric slide rail 15, and the lower end of the third slider 16 is connected to the temporary storage box 17. The clamping mechanism 5 includes a slide groove 501, which is located at both ends of the upper surface of the placement plate 4, and the slide groove 501... Each slide 501 has a corresponding movable block 503 installed inside it. Each movable block 503 has a clamping plate 505 installed on its upper end. The clamping plates 505 are located on the upper end of the placement plate 4 and are aligned with each other. Each slide 501 has a guide rod 502 installed inside it. The rod of the guide rod 502 is installed through the movable block 503. Each guide rod 502 has a spring 504 sleeved on its outer side. The ends of the springs 504 that are close to each other are in contact with the sides of the movable blocks 503 that are far apart. The ends of the springs 504 that are far apart are in contact with the inner wall of the slide 501. Each clamping plate 505 has a guide inclined plate 506 installed on its upper end.
[0026] The valve cover is placed on the placement plate 4, and then the valve cover pushes the clamping plate 505 to both sides along the guide ramp 506. The clamping plate 505 then drives the movable block 503 to slide inside the slide groove 501 and compress the spring 504, thus achieving adaptive design for valve covers of various sizes. This eliminates the need to replace the entire clamping equipment or perform complex adjustments, significantly reducing production costs. Simultaneously, the guide ramp 506 at the upper end of the clamping plate 505 facilitates valve cover placement, providing guidance and positioning, and improving placement efficiency. Then, the first electric slide rail 2 is activated, which drives the first slider 3, the placement plate 4, and the valve cover on the placement plate 4 to move horizontally. The second electric slide rail 7 is then activated, which drives the second slider 8, the fixing block 9, the cylinder 10, the motor 11, the arc-shaped support frame 13, the temporary storage box 17, and the oil injection needle 18 to move horizontally. This allows for rapid adjustment of the horizontal position of the oil injection needle 18, ensuring it accurately aligns with the area of the valve cover requiring oil injection, thus improving the accuracy of the oil injection. Then, the motor 11 is started. The output end of the motor 11 drives the arc-shaped support frame 13 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the temporary storage box 17 and the oil injection needle 18. The cylinder 10 is started, pushing the motor 11 and connected components to move up and down, further adjusting the height of the oil injection needle 18, so as to realize the oil injection operation of different parts of the valve cover, adapting to the complex structure and oil injection requirements of the valve cover. Due to the universality of the clamping mechanism 5, there is no need to interrupt production and adjust the equipment when changing the valve cover model, shortening the production cycle. Finally, the external Oil in the storage tank flows into the temporary storage box 17 through a pipe. The oil in the temporary storage box 17 is injected into the valve cover through the injection needle 18. The arc-shaped electric slide rail 15 inside the arc-shaped support frame 13 drives the third slider 16 and the temporary storage box 17 to move along the arc-shaped track. The position and angle of the injection needle 18 can be finely adjusted during the oil injection process to ensure a stable and smooth oil injection process, improve the quality and efficiency of oil injection. At the same time, the arc-shaped electric slide rail 15 can further improve the flexibility and accuracy of oil injection, making the oil injection operation more suitable for the shape characteristics of the valve cover.
[0027] The working principle of this automatic oiling machine:
[0028] In use, first place the valve cover on the placement plate 4. Then, the valve cover pushes the clamping plate 505 to both sides along the guide ramp 506. The clamping plate 505 then drives the movable block 503 to slide inside the slide groove 501 and compress the spring 504 to install the valve cover. Then, the first electric slide rail 2 is activated, which drives the first slider 3, the placement plate 4, and the valve cover on the placement plate 4 to move horizontally. At the same time, the second electric slide rail 7 is activated, which drives the second slider 8, the fixing block 9, the cylinder 10, the motor 11, the arc support frame 13, the temporary storage box 17, and the oil injection needle 18 to move horizontally, so as to quickly adjust the oil injection needle. 18 is in a horizontal position, then the motor 11 is started. The output end of the motor 11 drives the arc-shaped support frame 13 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the temporary storage box 17 and the oil injection needle 18. The cylinder 10 is started, pushing the motor 11 and connected components to move up and down, further adjusting the height of the oil injection needle 18. Finally, the oil in the external storage tank flows into the temporary storage box 17 through the pipeline. The oil in the temporary storage box 17 is injected into the valve cover through the oil injection needle 18. The arc-shaped electric slide rail 15 inside the arc-shaped support frame 13 drives the third slider 16 and the temporary storage box 17 to move along the arc track. The position and angle of the oil injection needle 18 can be finely adjusted during the oil injection process so that the oil injection needle 18 can perform oil injection work on the required oil injection point of the valve cover.
[0029] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
