Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of linear modules with automatic lubrication structures, and particularly to a linear module with an automatic lubrication structure. Background Technology

[0002] A linear module with an automatic lubrication structure is a widely used transmission component in automated equipment. It enables linear motion and reduces friction and wear between components through the automatic lubrication structure, thereby improving the operating efficiency and service life of the equipment.

[0003] The applicant discovered through a search that a Chinese patent discloses "A Track Module with a Self-Lubricating Structure," with publication (announcement) number "CN214171253U." This patent primarily utilizes a combination of a movable pin, sealing bolt, drive motor, threaded screw, slide groove, return spring, oil filling hole, movable block, slider, T-block, oil storage cavity, and through hole. The operator unscrews the sealing bolt, adds lubricating oil into the oil storage cavity through the oil filling hole, and turns on the drive motor. The threaded screw drives the movable block to reciprocate linearly along the slide groove. When the T-block moves to any movable pin, it pushes the movable pin into the through hole, causing the slider inside the oil storage cavity to move backward, exposing the oil outlet. Lubricating oil flows from the oil outlet into the space between the movable block and the slide groove to achieve lubrication. When the T-block slides past the movable pin, the return spring pushes the slider back to its original position, and the slider blocks the oil outlet, stopping lubrication. Lubrication can be achieved without stopping the machine, saving working time. However, this patent cannot efficiently classify and filter and collect the dripping waste oil when lubricating the internal components of the track module. In actual use, the waste oil is not collected, which will pollute the inside of the module and the surrounding environment, increasing the workload of subsequent cleaning. At the same time, long-term accumulation of waste oil and impurities may corrode the module components and cause additional failures. Therefore, we propose a linear module with an automatic lubrication structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a linear module with an automatic lubrication structure to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when lubricating the internal components of the track module, it is impossible to efficiently classify, filter and collect the dripping waste oil. In actual use, the waste oil is not collected, which will pollute the inside of the module and the surrounding environment, increase the workload of subsequent cleaning. At the same time, the long-term accumulation of waste oil and impurities may corrode the module components and cause additional failures.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a linear module with an automatic lubrication structure, comprising a module base, a motor disposed on the left outer wall of the module base, a screw fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, the right end of the screw rotatably connected to the right inner wall of the module base, a moving block threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw, a guide rail provided on the inner wall of the module base, the outer wall of the moving block slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail, an automatic lubrication assembly disposed on the right side of the module base, the automatic lubrication assembly comprising an oil pump, an oil collection box, a slider, and a fine filter screen, the oil pump being connected to a distribution pipe and multiple nozzles via an oil delivery pipe, the oil pump being connected to an oil storage tank via an input pipe, and a coarse filter screen disposed at the lower part of the interior of the module base.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, multiple sets of nozzles are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the diversion pipe at equal intervals. One end of the input pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of the oil pump, and the other end of the input pipe is fixedly installed inside the oil storage tank. The oil storage tank is also fixedly installed on the right side surface of the module base and located to the right of the oil pump.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the oil collection box is located directly below the coarse filter screen, a sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the bottom of the module base, the slider is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the oil collection box, the slider is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove, and the fine filter screen is located inside the upper part of the oil collection box.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the oil tank is provided with a rapid oil draining and cleaning component on its exterior. The rapid oil draining and cleaning component includes an oil drain valve pipe, which is located on the right outer wall of the oil tank.

With its rapidly draining and cleaning components, the drain valve can quickly empty the old oil or waste liquid from the oil tank without disassembly, simplifying the oil change process. The air blowing interface on the top of the oil tank, with its external thread, can securely connect to a high-pressure air gun.

The transparent observation window, along with the oil level scale, allows for direct viewing of the remaining oil level and turbidity, enabling precise judgment of when to add oil and the oil condition, thus preventing lubrication issues. This integrated design of "rapid draining, efficient cleaning, and visual management" significantly reduces the difficulty of maintaining the oil tank. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0015] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and appendix Figure 4 - Appendix Figure 7 A linear module with an automatic lubrication structure includes a module base 1. A motor 2 is installed on the left outer wall of the module base 1. A screw 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2. The right end of the screw 3 is rotatably connected to the right inner wall of the module base 1. A moving block 4 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 3. A guide rail 5 is provided on the inner wall of the module base 1. The outer wall of the moving block 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail 5. An automatic lubrication component 6 is installed on the right side of the module base 1. The automatic lubrication component 6 includes an oil pump 601, an oil collection box 607, a slider 608, and a fine filter screen 609. The oil pump 601 is connected to a diversion pipe 603 and multiple sets of nozzles 604 through an oil delivery pipe 602. The oil pump 601 is connected to an oil storage tank 606 through an input pipe 605. A coarse filter screen 611 is installed at the lower part of the interior of the module base 1.

[0016] The module base 1 serves as the basic frame of the entire linear module, used to fix the motor 2 and the two ends of the support screw 3. It also provides an installation reference for all components such as the guide rail 5 and the automatic lubrication component 6, ensuring the precise relative position of each component and maintaining the overall rigidity and motion stability of the module.

[0017] The oil pump 601 is fixedly installed on the right side surface of the module base 1. One end of the oil supply pipe 602 is fixedly connected to the output end of the oil pump 601, and the other end of the oil supply pipe 602 is fixedly connected to the inside of the diversion pipe 603. The diversion pipe 603 is fixedly installed inside the module base 1. Multiple sets of nozzles 604 are evenly distributed and fixedly installed on the outer wall of the diversion pipe 603. One end of the input pipe 605 is fixedly connected to the input end of the oil pump 601, and the other end of the input pipe 605 is fixedly installed inside the oil storage tank 606. The oil storage tank 606 is also fixedly installed on the right side surface of the module base 1 and is located to the right of the oil pump 601.

[0018] The nozzles 604 are fixed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the distribution pipe 603 to accurately spray the lubricating oil in the distribution pipe 603 onto the surfaces of key moving parts such as the screw 3 and the guide rail 5 in atomized or directional spraying manner, so as to ensure uniform lubrication.

[0019] The oil collection box 607 is located directly below the coarse filter screen 611. A sliding groove 610 is provided on the inner side of the bottom of the module base 1. The slider 608 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the oil collection box 607 and is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 610. The fine filter screen 609 is located inside the oil collection box 607 at the top.

[0020] The oil collection box 607 is located directly below the coarse filter screen 611. It is a container for collecting waste oil and impurities, and is used to receive waste oil after it has been filtered by the coarse filter screen 611, so as to prevent waste oil from directly polluting the inside of the module base 1 or the environment.

[0021] Specifically, through the automatic lubrication component 6, the oil pump 601, oil delivery pipe 602, diversion pipe 603, and multiple sets of nozzles 604 work together to automatically and evenly deliver the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 606 to key parts such as the screw 3, guide rail 5, and moving block 4. This avoids uneven or missed lubrication by manual methods, reduces wear, and extends the module's lifespan. At the same time, the coarse filter 611 initially filters large particulate impurities in the waste oil, and the oil collection box 607, in conjunction with the fine filter 609, performs secondary purification. The oil collection box 607 can be quickly pulled out for cleaning via the slider 608 and the slide groove 610, simplifying maintenance. This integrated design of "precise lubrication + graded filtration + convenient maintenance" improves operational reliability while balancing economy and convenience.

[0022] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 5 and appendix Figure 6 The oil tank 606 is equipped with a quick oil drain cleaning component 7 on its exterior. The quick oil drain cleaning component 7 includes an oil drain valve pipe 701, which is located on the right outer wall of the oil tank 606. An air blow port 702 is fixedly installed on the top of the oil tank 606. An external thread 703 is provided on the outer wall of the air blow port 702. A transparent observation window 704 is provided on the front outer wall of the oil tank 606. An oil level scale line 705 is provided on the front outer wall of the oil tank 606 to the left of the transparent observation window 704.

[0023] The air blowing interface 702 is fixedly installed on the top of the oil storage tank 606 and is used to connect an external high-pressure air gun. When high-pressure airflow is introduced into the oil storage tank 606, the inner wall of the tank can be blown clean, and residual oil residue and impurities can be blown to the oil drain valve pipe 701 for discharge, thereby achieving rapid cleaning of the inside of the oil storage tank 606 without disassembly.

[0024] Specifically, through the set-up rapid oil draining and cleaning component 7, the oil drain valve pipe 701 can quickly drain the old oil or waste liquid in the oil storage tank 606 without disassembly, simplifying the oil change process. The air blowing interface 702 on the top of the oil storage tank 606, in conjunction with the external thread 703, can be connected to a high-pressure air gun to blow away the oil residue on the inner wall through high-pressure airflow. Combined with the oil drain valve pipe 701, it achieves integrated cleaning of "blowing and washing + residue removal", ensuring the cleanliness of the tank. The transparent observation window 704, in conjunction with the oil level scale line 705, allows for viewing the remaining oil level and turbidity, judging the timing of oil replenishment and the oil status, and avoiding affecting lubrication. This integrated design of "rapid oil draining, efficient cleaning, and visual management" reduces the maintenance difficulty of the oil storage tank 606.

[0025] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model is a linear module with an automatic lubrication structure. First, after the module is started, the motor 2 drives the screw 3 to rotate. The screw 3 drives the moving block 4 to move linearly along the guide rail 5 on the inner wall of the module base 1 through threaded transmission. At the same time, the automatic lubrication component 6 is started. The oil pump 601 draws lubricating oil from the oil storage tank 606 through the input pipe 605, and delivers it to the distribution pipe 603 inside the module base 1 through the oil delivery pipe 602. Then, it passes through multiple sets of spray nozzles evenly distributed on the outer wall of the distribution pipe 603. Head 604 evenly sprays lubricating oil onto key parts such as the threaded surface of screw 3 and the contact surface between guide rail 5 and moving block 4, achieving real-time lubrication during movement. The lubricated waste oil drips downwards, first passing through the coarse filter 611 at the bottom of the module base 1 to intercept large particles. The filtered waste oil continues downwards, falling into the oil collection box 607 located directly below the coarse filter 611. The fine filter 609 at the top of the oil collection box 607 performs secondary purification of the waste oil, further filtering out finer impurities, completing the process. Waste oil is graded, filtered, and collected to prevent impurities from contaminating the module's interior. When the lubricating oil in the oil reservoir 606 needs to be replaced, the operator opens the drain valve 701 on the right outer wall of the oil reservoir 606 to quickly drain the old oil or waste liquid without disassembling the oil reservoir 606. If it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the oil reservoir 606, the high-pressure air gun connector is connected to the air blowing interface 702 on the top of the oil reservoir 606 via the external thread 703, and a high-pressure airflow is introduced to blow away the residual oil residue on the inner wall. The oil residue is discharged with the airflow through the drain valve 701. The process achieves integrated cleaning of "blowing and slag removal". After cleaning, the oil drain valve 701 is closed and new lubricating oil is added. When the waste oil or impurities in the oil collection box 607 accumulate to a certain amount, the staff pulls the slider 608 on the outer wall of the oil collection box 607 along the sliding groove 610 on the inner side of the bottom of the module base 1 to remove the oil collection box 607 from the module base 1, pour out the waste oil and clean the fine filter screen 609. After cleaning, the slider 608 is aligned with the sliding groove 610 and pushed back to its original position to complete the maintenance of the oil collection box 607.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
