Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle maintenance technology, and more particularly to an integrated device for applying lubricant to vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle maintenance plays a crucial role in vehicle management. It not only effectively extends the vehicle's lifespan and reduces the frequency of malfunctions, but also significantly improves driving safety and passenger comfort.

[0003] Vehicle maintenance includes bearing maintenance. Currently, bearing maintenance requires partial disassembly of the vehicle to expose the transmission bearings. Workers then apply lubricant, such as automotive grease, to each bearing located in different positions. Clearly, the need for partial disassembly complicates the maintenance process, and the large number of bearings makes individual application cumbersome, resulting in a time-consuming and labor-intensive operation. Utility Model Content

[0024] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0025] refer to Figures 1 to 4 A preferred embodiment of the lubricant coating integrated device for a vehicle according to the present application will be described in detail below. The lubricant coating integrated device for a vehicle is mounted on the frame 90 of a vehicle such as an all-terrain vehicle. The frame 90 includes a frame 91 and a transmission unit 92, which is mounted on the frame 91.

[0026] The vehicle's integrated lubricant coating device includes an oil supply body 10, which comprises an oil pipe assembly 11 and a mounting component 12. The oil pipe assembly 11 includes at least one inlet pipe 111 and multiple supply pipes 112. Both the supply pipes 112 and the inlet pipe 111 are mounted on the mounting component 12 and are connected. The mounting component 12 is mounted on a frame 91. The ends of the multiple supply pipes 112, away from the mounting component 12, are mounted on the frame 91 and correspond to different positions on the transmission assembly 92. The inlet pipe 111 is located outside the frame 91 to connect to the fuel tank outside the vehicle. Lubricant flowing through the inlet pipe 111 is introduced into the multiple supply pipes 112 to supply lubricant to different positions on the transmission assembly 92 for comprehensive maintenance. In this way, the user can supply the required lubricant to the locations requiring lubrication from outside the vehicle, without disassembling any parts or applying lubricant individually, increasing the convenience of maintenance.

[0027] Preferably, multiple oil inlet pipes 111 are provided, and the multiple oil inlet pipes 111 are spaced apart. Each of the multiple oil inlet pipes 111 can be connected to the oil tank, and each oil inlet pipe 111 corresponds to an oil supply pipe 112, so as to increase the flow rate by increasing the oil inlet flow path.

[0028] refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the oil supply pipe 112 is partially inserted into the mounting member 12, and one end of the oil supply pipe 112, located within the mounting member 12, is connected to the oil inlet pipe 111. In this way, when all the oil inlet pipes 111 are connected to the oil tank, multiple oil supply pipes 112 can simultaneously apply lubricant to different locations of the transmission unit 92 for comprehensive maintenance; when some of the oil inlet pipes 111 are connected to the oil tank, the corresponding oil supply pipe 112 applies lubricant to specific locations of the transmission unit 92 for targeted maintenance.

[0029] refer to Figure 4In another embodiment, the mounting member 12 forms a converging cavity 1201, and the oil supply pipe 112 and the oil inlet pipe 111 are both connected to the converging cavity 1201. The lubricant flowing through the oil inlet pipe 111 is collected in the converging cavity 1201 and then diverted to multiple oil inlet pipes 111, so as to simultaneously apply lubricant to different positions of the transmission unit 92 and achieve comprehensive maintenance.

[0030] Preferably, the oil supply pipe 112 and the oil inlet pipe 111 are respectively connected to both sides of the mounting component 12 to prevent the oil supply pipe 112 from interfering with the docking operation of the oil inlet pipe 111 and the oil tank, thereby increasing the convenience of docking.

[0031] refer to Figures 5 to 6 The vehicle's lubricant coating integrated device further includes a flow control component 20, which includes at least one first flow control assembly 21. The first flow control assembly 21 is installed on the oil inlet pipe 111 in a manner that allows it to open or close. When the oil inlet pipe 111 is opened, the oil tank can introduce lubricant into the oil inlet pipe 111; when the oil inlet pipe 111 is closed, the first flow control assembly 21 prevents lubricant backflow and discharges it from the end of the oil inlet pipe 111 away from the mounting member 12, and prevents external contaminants from entering the oil inlet pipe 111 when lubricant coating is not required.

[0032] Further, the first flow control assembly 21 includes a first sealing member 211 and a first elastic member 212. A portion of the inner wall of the oil inlet pipe 111 extends axially to form a first abutting step 1111. The first sealing member 211 is disposed within the oil inlet pipe 111 and can be driven to move along the flow direction of lubricant entering the oil inlet pipe 111, separating from the first abutting step 1111 to open the oil inlet pipe 111. The two ends of the first elastic member 212 correspond to the first abutting step 1111 and the inner wall of the oil inlet pipe 111, respectively. The first elastic member 212 is elastically deformable when the first sealing member 211 is moved by an external force to separate from the first abutting step 1111, and can be reset when the first sealing member 211 is not subjected to an external force, so that the first sealing member 211 remains abutting against the first abutting step 1111.

[0033] Preferably, the first elastic element 212 is implemented as a spring.

[0034] Preferably, when the oil tank is connected to the oil inlet pipe 111 to introduce lubricant, the first sealing member 211 is separated from the first abutting step 1111 by the pressure of the lubricant, so as to automatically open the oil inlet pipe 111.

[0035] In another embodiment, when the oil tank is connected to the oil inlet pipe 111 with its oil pipe portion inserted into the oil inlet pipe 111, the first sealing member 211 is pushed by the oil pipe to separate from the first abutting step 1111, so as to automatically open the oil inlet pipe 111.

[0036] In one embodiment, the lubricant introduced into the oil supply pipe 112 is discharged from a port away from the mounting member 12 to be directly applied to the transmission unit 92.

[0037] In another embodiment, the flow control component 20 further includes a plurality of second flow control components 22, each of which is installed on a corresponding oil supply pipe 112 in a manner capable of opening or closing one of the oil supply pipes 112. When the oil supply pipe 112 is opened, the lubricant flowing through the oil inlet pipe 111 and introduced into the oil supply pipe 112 is discharged; when no lubricant is needed and the oil supply pipe 112 is closed, the second flow control component 22 serves to prevent the lubricant retained in the oil supply body 10 from continuing to be discharged, thereby saving lubricant and isolating the retained lubricant from the outside environment to prevent deterioration, effectively avoiding the mixing of newly introduced lubricant with deteriorated lubricant during re-coating and affecting the maintenance effect.

[0038] Specifically, the second flow control assembly 22 includes a second sealing member 221 and a second elastic member 222. A portion of the inner wall of the oil supply pipe 112 extends axially to form a second abutment step 1121. The second sealing member 221 is disposed within the oil supply pipe 112 and can be driven to move along the flow direction of lubricant entering the oil supply pipe 112, separating from the second abutment step 1121 to open the oil supply pipe 112. The two ends of the second elastic member 222 correspond to the second abutment step 1121 and the inner wall of the oil supply pipe 112, respectively. The second elastic member 222 is elastically deformable when the second sealing member 221 is moved by an external force to separate from the second abutment step 1121, and can be reset when the second sealing member 221 is not subjected to an external force, so that the second sealing member 221 remains abutting against the second abutment step 1121.

[0039] Preferably, the second elastic element 222 is implemented as a spring.

[0040] Preferably, when the oil tank is connected to the oil inlet pipe 111 to introduce lubricant, the second sealing member 221 is separated from the second abutting step 1121 by the pressure of the lubricant, so as to automatically open the oil supply pipe 112.

[0041] Preferably, when the transmission unit 92 is provided with ten bearings respectively sleeved on ten rotating shafts, ten oil supply pipes 112 are provided, and one end of each oil supply pipe 112 away from the mounting member 12 corresponds to a bearing, so as to apply lubricant to the bearing.

[0042] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of this application described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the scope of this application. The advantages of this application have been fully and effectively implemented. The functional and structural principles of this application have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments, and any variations or modifications can be made to the implementation of this application without departing from the stated principles.
