Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil transportation equipment technology, specifically to an oil transportation equipment with a spider hand transmission box. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern industrial automation, spider robots (parallel robots) are widely used in production processes such as material handling, sorting, and assembly due to their high speed and precision. The spider robot's transmission box, as its core transmission component, undertakes the crucial functions of power transmission and motion conversion; its stable operation directly affects production efficiency and product quality. Sufficient and appropriate lubrication is key to ensuring the normal operation of the transmission box and extending its service life; therefore, the performance of the lubrication equipment is of paramount importance.
[0003] A spider arm transmission box oil supply device disclosed in announcement number CN212717884U includes a box body and an oil tank cover. The top surface of the box body is open, and the oil tank cover is detachably fixed to the top surface of the box body, forming an internally hollow closed structure. The oil tank cover has a filling port, and the bottom center of the box body has an oil outlet. The oil outlet is connected to an oil outlet pipe, and a manual valve is installed on the oil outlet pipe. The front side of the box body has a window, and a glass cover is fixedly connected to the window. The glass cover has liquid level scale lines, allowing the liquid level inside the box to be seen through the glass cover for quantitative oil supply to the transmission box. This utility model can ensure quantitative oil supply to the transmission box, saving costs and improving equipment efficiency; at the same time, it reduces the number of times the box is turned over, improving the operating efficiency of the transmission box, significantly reducing the failure rate, and allowing the performance of the transmission box to be fully utilized.
[0004] While the aforementioned patent ensures precise and quantitative lubrication of the transmission gearbox, saving costs and improving equipment efficiency, and reduces the number of gearbox turnovers, thus increasing operational efficiency and significantly lowering the failure rate and allowing the transmission gearbox to perform at its full potential, the device lacks a precise control mechanism for the replenishment amount and an effective oil level detection and alarm system. On one hand, manual lubrication makes precise control of the replenishment amount difficult. Excessive oil can lead to increased internal pressure in the transmission gearbox, causing oil leakage, polluting the working environment, and potentially increasing the operating resistance of transmission components, resulting in energy waste. Insufficient oil, on the other hand, fails to meet the lubrication needs of the transmission gearbox, causing accelerated wear on key components such as gears and bearings due to insufficient lubrication, shortening equipment lifespan, and even causing equipment failure, affecting production continuity. On the other hand, the frequency of manual lubrication is difficult to control. Adding oil too early wastes resources, while adding it too late may damage the equipment due to untimely lubrication. Furthermore, the lack of an effective oil level detection and alarm system prevents operators from monitoring the oil level in the transmission gearbox in real time, failing to promptly detect insufficient oil or abnormal consumption, further increasing the risk of equipment failure. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is as follows: to provide a spider hand transmission box oil conveying device with high practicality and simple operation and structure, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art of difficulty in accurately controlling the replenishment amount of lubricating oil when manually adding it and the lack of an effective oil level detection and alarm structure, which prevents operators from keeping abreast of the oil level in the transmission box and from promptly detecting insufficient oil or abnormal consumption.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

A metering mechanism is installed on the surface of the oil filling port. A liquid level alarm mechanism is installed on one edge of the top of the oil storage tank.
[0008] The metering mechanism includes a flow meter installed on the surface of the oil inlet. One side of the flow meter is electrically connected to a PLC controller A via a power line, and one side of the PLC controller A is electrically connected to an electric control valve via a power line.
[0009] The liquid level alarm mechanism includes a liquid level gauge installed on one side edge of the top of the oil storage tank. A PLC controller B is electrically connected to one side of the liquid level gauge via a power cord, and an alarm light is electrically connected to one side of the PLC controller B via a power cord.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an oil injection cylinder is connected through the top of the oil injection port, and a sealing cap is hinged to the top of the oil injection cylinder, which facilitates sealing.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the electrically controlled valve is installed on the surface of the oil inlet, the detection probe of the level gauge is located inside the oil storage tank, and the oil inlet facilitates oil filling.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an oil outlet is provided at the bottom of the oil storage tank, and a valve is installed on the surface of the oil outlet to facilitate control of the oil volume.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a transparent plate is installed on the surface of the oil storage tank, and scale lines are engraved on the surface of the transparent plate, which facilitates observation of the oil level.

In this system, a liquid level alarm mechanism 4 is installed on one edge of the top of the oil storage tank 1.
