Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wiper motor technology, specifically to a wiper motor worm gear oiling device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, lubricating the worm gear of automotive wiper motors is done manually. Operators must use a handheld lubricating device to apply grease to the worm gear surface, then adjust the amount and coverage by visual inspection and experience. This traditional method suffers from difficulty in precisely controlling the uniformity and consistency of manual lubrication. Deviations in lubrication thickness can occur between different operators or at different times by the same operator, directly affecting the lubrication effect and lifespan of the worm gear transmission mechanism. Furthermore, manual lubrication is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this utility model provides a wiper motor worm gear oiling device, which solves the problems of poor oiling consistency and low oiling efficiency caused by manual oiling of the wiper motor worm gear in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A wiper motor worm gear oiling device is provided, including a base, a fixing bracket and a fixing support for fixing the wiper motor are provided on the base, a telescopic cylinder connected to an air circuit assembly is fixed on the fixing support, a nozzle is fixed on the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder, and the oil inlet of the nozzle is connected to a grease metering valve fixed on the fixing support; wherein, the nozzle moves vertically downward through the piston rod to directly above the worm gear of the wiper motor and sprays oil.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this solution are that the nozzle moves to directly above the worm gear under the drive of the telescopic cylinder and sprays oil onto the worm gear in a metered manner through the grease metering valve. This not only realizes the automated oiling of the worm gear, reducing manual labor intensity and improving oiling efficiency, but also ensures a constant oil volume by the grease metering valve, eliminating uneven oiling thickness and significantly improving oiling consistency.

[0007] Furthermore, the wiper motor includes a motor body and a turbine reducer housing for mounting the worm gear; the mounting bracket includes a base plate bolted to a base, and the base plate is provided with a U-shaped seat and a fixed seat for fixing the motor body and the turbine reducer housing, respectively. The motor body and the turbine reducer housing are fixed by the U-shaped seat and the fixed seat, respectively, achieving modular and rapid positioning and clamping of the wiper motor.

[0008] Furthermore, the opening of the U-shaped seat fits snugly against the outer wall of the motor body. This design, where the opening of the U-shaped seat fits snugly against the outer wall of the motor body, enhances the stability of the fixation, avoids positioning deviations caused by motor shaking during the oiling process, and ensures precise alignment of the nozzle and the worm gear.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting base is a cuboid structure bolted to the base plate. Positioning holes are provided in the center of the top surface and on one side of the top surface of the mounting base. Both positioning holes are used to mate with two positioning posts located on the bottom of the worm gear reducer housing. The two positioning posts are respectively clearance-fitted with the two positioning holes. This clearance-fit design between the positioning holes and the positioning posts at the bottom of the worm gear reducer housing enables rapid self-positioning installation of the worm gear reducer housing, reduces manual calibration steps, and ensures the axial alignment accuracy of the worm gear and the nozzle.

[0010] Furthermore, lifting handles are provided on both sides of the base plate. The lifting handles are designed to facilitate the movement of the fixed support by the operator during installation.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixed support includes a vertical frame and a crossbeam fixed to the top of the vertical frame, with a telescopic cylinder vertically fixed to the end of the crossbeam.

[0012] Furthermore, two guide rods are slidably installed inside the telescopic cylinder, symmetrically positioned on both sides of the piston rod. Each guide rod and the piston rod are fixedly connected to a connecting plate, and the nozzle is fixed to the connecting plate and located directly above the worm gear. The symmetrical guide rods move synchronously with the piston rod, enhancing the stability of the nozzle's downward pressing process and preventing tilting caused by unilateral force on the cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the pneumatic circuit assembly includes a cylinder solenoid directional valve connected to the telescopic cylinder; the cylinder solenoid directional valve is connected to the air source via an air pipe and is electrically connected to the controller. The pneumatic circuit assembly achieves automated control of cylinder lifting and lowering through the solenoid directional valve and the controller.

[0014] Furthermore, the controller is electrically connected to the button box. The buttons on the button box support one-button operation, facilitating the raising and lowering of the telescopic cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, the grease metering valve is fixed on the stand and connected to the oil pump. The connection between the grease metering valve and the oil pump ensures continuous and controllable grease supply, avoids oil volume fluctuations caused by manual filling, and guarantees the long-term stability of the coating volume.

[0021] Considering that existing technologies rely on manual oiling of wiper motor worm gears, resulting in poor oiling consistency and low oiling efficiency, this application provides a wiper motor worm gear oiling device to address these issues. This device utilizes a telescopic cylinder 400 mounted on a fixed bracket 300. The moving end of the telescopic cylinder 400 is connected to a nozzle 500, which communicates with a grease metering valve 51. Driven by the telescopic cylinder 400, the nozzle 500 moves to a position directly above the worm gear 721, and the grease metering valve 51 dispenses a metered amount of oil to the worm gear 721. This not only automates oiling of the worm gear 721, reducing manual labor and improving oiling efficiency, but also ensures a constant oil volume through the grease metering valve 51, eliminating uneven oil thickness and significantly improving oiling consistency. A detailed demonstration follows.
