Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of precision casting, and in particular to a self-lubricating precision casting for machine tools. Background Technology

[0002] Machine tools are mechanical equipment used to process metals or other materials and are an important component of modern manufacturing. Machine tools use processes such as cutting, grinding, stamping, and forging to process raw materials into the required shapes and sizes. Precision castings for machine tools are a key component in machine tool manufacturing, referring to machine tool parts produced through precision casting processes. They are typically used in important parts of machine tools such as the frame, bed, support components, guideways, and spindle box. Precision castings possess high dimensional accuracy, good surface finish, and strong mechanical properties, effectively improving the accuracy, stability, and service life of machine tools. Therefore, a self-lubricating precision casting for machine tools is particularly needed.

[0003] However, most existing precision castings for machine tools are not self-lubricating. Due to this lack of self-lubrication, they require additional lubricating oil, grease, or other lubricating materials to reduce friction and wear. This additional lubrication requirement increases the complexity of the production process and also raises maintenance costs. Regularly replenishing lubricating oil and checking lubrication conditions require additional labor and time costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-lubricating precision casting for machine tools, addressing the shortcomings of existing self-lubricating precision castings for machine tools mentioned in the background section. Most precision castings lack self-lubrication capabilities, requiring additional lubricating oil, grease, or other lubricating materials to reduce friction and wear. This additional lubrication requirement increases the complexity of the production process and also raises maintenance costs. Regularly replenishing lubricating oil and checking lubrication conditions also incur additional labor and time costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a housing is included, an annular block is installed on the inner side of the housing, a connecting pipe is installed on the upper end of the annular block, a flow groove is opened on the inner side of the annular block, a connecting hole is opened on one side of the flow groove, a material leakage plate is installed on the inner side of the flow groove, an annular plate is installed on one side of the annular block, and a round rod is installed on the inner side of the annular block.

[0006] Preferably, multiple sets of flow channels are provided, and the flow channels are connected by connecting holes.

[0007] Preferably, the surface of the material strainer has multiple sets of perforations, and the material strainer corresponds one-to-one with the flow channel.

[0008] Preferably, a tank is installed at the upper end of the shell, and an observation window is installed on one side of the tank.

[0009] Preferably, a feed inlet is installed at the upper end of the tank, a filter screen is installed inside the feed inlet, and a tank cover is installed at the upper end of the feed inlet.

[0010] Preferably, a pump is installed at the upper end of the tank, a pumping pipe is installed at the lower end of the pump, and a transport pipe is installed on one side of the pump.

[0011] Preferably, the extraction pipe is connected to the transport pipe via an extraction pump, and the transport pipe is connected to the flow tank via a connecting pipe.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This self-lubricating precision casting for machine tools, through the arrangement of a tank, extraction pump, extraction pipe, transport pipe, annular block, connecting pipe, flow channel, connecting hole, material leakage plate, annular plate, and round rod, allows for rapid transport of lubricating fluid. The extraction pump extracts lubricating fluid from the tank through the extraction pipe, and then transports the lubricating fluid through the transport pipe. The lubricating fluid can be quickly extracted from the tank and rapidly transported to the required location through the transport pipe, improving the lubricating fluid delivery efficiency. The connecting pipe and connecting hole can fill the flow channel with lubricating fluid. The lubricating fluid enters the flow channel through the transport pipe and connecting pipe, and then fills other flow channels through the connecting hole. The design of the connecting pipe and connecting hole ensures that the lubricating fluid is evenly distributed among multiple flow channels. This effectively prevents insufficient or excessive lubricant in certain areas, thus achieving better lubrication, reducing friction and wear. The flow channel and strainer plate allow for the addition of lubricant. The lubricant inside the flow channel flows into the machine through the holes on the surface of the strainer plate. By maintaining a continuous supply of lubricant, the flow channel effectively reduces friction between mechanical parts, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life of the equipment. The strainer plate ensures that the lubricant flows evenly to the parts that require lubrication, thereby improving the machine's operating efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a self-lubricating precision casting for machine tools, including a housing 1, an annular block 10 installed on the inner side of the housing 1, a connecting pipe 11 installed on the upper end of the annular block 10, a flow groove 12 opened on the inner side of the annular block 10, a connecting hole 13 opened on one side of the flow groove 12, a material discharge plate 14 installed on the inner side of the flow groove 12, an annular plate 15 installed on one side of the annular block 10, and a round rod 16 installed on the inner side of the annular block 10. Through the arrangement of the annular block 10, the connecting pipe 11, the flow groove 12, the connecting hole 13, the material discharge plate 14, the annular plate 15, and the round rod 16, when the round rod 16 rotates inside the annular block 10, the lubricant inside the flow groove 12 overflows from the discharge plate, lubricating the annular block 10 and the round rod 16.

[0021] Furthermore, multiple sets of flow channels 12 are provided, and the flow channels 12 are connected by connecting holes 13. Through the flow channels 12 and connecting holes 13, lubricant enters the interior of the flow channels 12, and then fills the other flow channels 12 through the connecting holes 13. The design of the connecting pipe 11 and connecting holes 13 ensures that the lubricant is evenly distributed among the multiple flow channels 12. This effectively avoids insufficient or excessive lubricant in certain areas, thereby achieving better lubrication and reducing friction and wear.

[0022] Furthermore, the surface of the material strainer 14 has multiple sets of perforations, each corresponding to a flow channel 12. Through the arrangement of the flow channel 12 and the material strainer 14, the lubricant inside the flow channel 12 flows into the machine through the surface of the material strainer 14. By maintaining a continuous supply of lubricant, the flow channel 12 effectively reduces friction between mechanical parts, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life of the equipment. The material strainer 14 ensures that the lubricant flows evenly into the parts requiring lubrication, thus improving the machine's operating efficiency.

[0023] Furthermore, a tank 2 is installed on the upper end of the shell 1, and an observation window 3 is installed on one side of the tank 2. Through the arrangement of the tank 2 and the observation window 3, the installation position of the observation window 3 allows the user to conveniently view the lubricant reserves inside the tank 2 from the outside.

[0024] Furthermore, a feed inlet 4 is installed at the upper end of the tank body 2, a filter screen 5 is installed inside the feed inlet 4, and a tank cover 6 is installed at the upper end of the feed inlet 4. With the setup of the tank body 2, feed inlet 4, filter screen 5, and tank cover 6, the tank cover 6 is opened, and the lubricating fluid is poured into the tank body 2 through the feed inlet 4. During the pouring process, the filter screen 5 filters the lubricating fluid. The design of the feed inlet and the tank cover 6 makes adding lubricating fluid more convenient. The operator only needs to open the tank cover 6 and pour in the lubricating fluid, without complicated operating procedures. Through the filtration of the filter screen 5, the lubricating fluid can maintain a high purity, thereby ensuring the efficient operation of the lubrication system, reducing friction and wear, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0025] Furthermore, a pump 7 is installed at the upper end of the tank 2, a pump pipe 8 is installed at the lower end of the pump 7, and a transport pipe 9 is installed on one side of the pump 7. Through the arrangement of the pump 7, the pump pipe 8, and the transport pipe 9, the pump 7 draws lubricating fluid from the tank 2 through the pump pipe 8, and the pump 7 transports the lubricating fluid through the transport pipe 9. Through the pump 7, the lubricating fluid can be quickly drawn out of the tank 2 and rapidly transported to the required location through the transport pipe 9, thereby improving the lubricating fluid delivery efficiency.

[0026] Furthermore, the extraction pipe 8 is connected to the transport pipe 9 via the extraction pump 7, and the transport pipe 9 is connected to the flow tank 12 via the connecting pipe 11. With the arrangement of the extraction pump 7, extraction pipe 8, transport pipe 9, annular block 10, connecting pipe 11 and flow tank 12, the extraction pump 7 transports the lubricant through the extraction pipe 8 and the transport pipe 9. The lubricant enters the flow tank 12 through the transport pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 11. The function of the extraction pump 7 is to realize the automatic delivery of lubricant and avoid the instability caused by manual operation.

[0027] Working principle: In use, first open the can lid 6 and pour the lubricant into the can body 2 through the feed port 4. During the pouring process, the filter screen 5 filters the lubricant. After filling, close the can lid 6 and turn on the extraction pump 7. The extraction pump 7 extracts the lubricant from the can body 2 through the extraction pipe 8 and transports the lubricant through the transport pipe 9. The lubricant enters the flow channel 12 through the transport pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 11. Then, the lubricant fills other flow channels 12 through the connecting hole 13 in the flow channel 12. When the round rod 16 rotates inside the annular block 10, the lubricant inside the flow channel 12 flows out through the holes on the surface of the leakage plate 14, lubricating the annular block 10 and the round rod 16. This completes the use process of a self-lubricating precision casting for machine tools.
