Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing processing technology, specifically to a quantitative grease injection valve device for bearings. Background Technology
[0002] Bearings are an important component of modern mechanical equipment. Based on their friction properties, bearings can be divided into two main categories: sliding bearings and rolling bearings. Rolling bearings generally consist of an inner ring, an outer ring, balls, and a cage. To ensure good transmission performance and a long service life, grease is usually injected between the inner and outer rings of rolling bearings for proper lubrication.
[0003] Existing technologies lack adaptive positioning capabilities, requiring manual replacement or adjustment of positioning fixtures for bearings of different specifications. This increases changeover time and labor costs, making it difficult to meet the needs of multi-variety, small-batch production. Furthermore, manual adjustment of clamping force is difficult to control precisely, potentially leading to bearing deformation and surface indentation due to excessive clamping, or bearing displacement during grease injection due to insufficient clamping. Additionally, the fixed position of the grease injection head in existing technologies cannot adapt to bearing installation deviations or specification changes, easily causing grease injection to deviate from the ball pocket, resulting in lubrication failure or contamination of other parts of the bearing. Moreover, in low-temperature environments or when using high-viscosity grease, insufficient grease flow can cause blockages in the delivery pipeline and grease injection head, requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning, affecting production continuity and reducing overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a quantitative grease injection valve device for bearings, which solves the technical problems in the prior art where the positioning fixture needs to be manually replaced or adjusted for bearings of different specifications, and it is difficult to accurately control the force when manually adjusting the clamping force; the grease injection head position is fixed and cannot adapt to bearing installation deviations or specification changes, which can easily cause the grease to be injected off the ball pocket; and in low temperature environments or when using high viscosity grease, the grease is prone to blockage of the delivery pipeline and grease injection head due to insufficient fluidity, which reduces the overall production efficiency.

[0008] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present invention, a quantitative grease injection valve device for bearings is provided, wherein the grease injection head alignment assembly includes a fixed frame, the rear side of the fixed frame is fixedly connected to a machine frame, a lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner walls of the upper and lower sides of the fixed frame, a motor is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame, the output end of the motor passes through the interior of the fixed frame and is fixedly connected to the lead screw, and slide rods are provided on both the left and right sides of the lead screw and fixedly connected to the inner walls of the fixed frame, and a movable seat is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw and slidably connected to the outer walls of the two slide rods, and a cross plate is fixedly connected to the front side of the movable seat.
[0009] For example, in a quantitative grease injection valve device for bearings provided in at least one embodiment of this utility model, a quantitative valve is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate, two side plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate, a worm gear is rotatably connected to the opposite surfaces of the front and rear side plates, a second motor is fixedly connected to the front side wall of the front side plate, the output end of the second motor passes through to the rear side wall of the front side plate and is fixedly connected to the worm gear, a worm wheel is meshed with the left side of the worm gear, a hollow rotating rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the worm wheel, the top of the hollow rotating rod is rotatably connected to the oil outlet at the bottom of the quantitative valve through a sealed bearing, and a grease injection head is detachably fixedly connected to the bottom of the hollow rotating rod.
[0010] For example, in a quantitative grease injection valve device for bearings provided in at least one embodiment of the present invention, a fixed rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the hollow rotating rod, and an optical fiber sensor is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed rod away from the hollow rotating rod. The controller is electrically connected to motor one, quantitative valve, motor two, and optical fiber sensor respectively.
[0011] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present invention, a quantitative grease injection valve device for bearings is provided, wherein the grease preheating and conveying assembly includes a conveying cylinder fixing frame, the conveying cylinder fixing frame is fixedly connected to the left side of the horizontal plate, a conveying cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying cylinder fixing frame, the right end of the conveying cylinder is fixedly connected to the oil inlet of the quantitative valve, a feed hopper communicating with the inside of the conveying cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the conveying cylinder, an auger is rotatably connected to the inside of the conveying cylinder, a motor is fixedly connected to the left side of the conveying cylinder, and the output end of the motor extends through the inside of the conveying cylinder and is fixedly connected to the auger.

Simultaneously, a pressure sensor monitors the clamping force in real time, automatically stopping the clamping action when a preset pressure threshold is reached. This effectively prevents deformation of the bearing outer ring, surface scratches, or internal structural damage due to excessive clamping force, or instability due to insufficient clamping force. The grease injection head alignment component allows adjustment of the grease injection head's height and rotation angle, ensuring precise alignment with the bearing ball bearing position and preventing grease from being injected into non-target areas (such as bearing rollers or outer rings), guaranteeing that all grease enters the preset lubrication point. The grease preheating and delivery component effectively reduces grease viscosity, enhancing its fluidity and allowing for smoother passage through the delivery pipeline and grease injection head. This avoids delivery blockages or discontinuous grease injection caused by viscous grease. Lower viscosity grease experiences less resistance during delivery and injection, and combined with the auger delivery structure, achieves faster and more stable grease delivery, improving grease injection efficiency.

The bearing adaptive pressure positioning component 2 is installed on the upper and lower sides of the operating table 12. The bearing adaptive pressure positioning component 2 is used to perform pressure adaptive positioning of the bearing. Grease injection head alignment component 3 is located directly above bearing adaptive pressure positioning component 2. Grease injection head alignment component 3 is used to calibrate and align the grease injection head with the bearing ball pocket position. The grease preheating and delivery component 4 is located on the left side of the grease injection head alignment component 3. The grease preheating and delivery component 4 is used to preheat the grease, reduce the viscosity of the grease, and improve the grease injection efficiency.
[0024] In some embodiments, the frame 1 is welded from Q235 steel plate, and the front side of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to the controller 11 by screws. The controller 11 is a Siemens S7-1200 series PLC. The top front side of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to the operating table 12 by welding. The operating table 12 is processed from 45 steel plate.
[0025] The bearing adaptive pressure positioning assembly 2 includes an electric telescopic rod 20, which is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the operating table 12. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 20 is fixedly connected to a lifting block 21. The side wall of the lifting block 21 is rotatably connected to four rectangularly distributed connecting rods 22. The top of each of the four connecting rods 22 is rotatably connected to a cross slider 23. The top of the operating table 12 has four rectangularly distributed cross grooves 25 that are slidably connected to the outer wall of the cross slider 23.
[0026] A bearing placement plate 27 is fixedly connected to the top center of the operating table 12. The tops of the four cross sliders 23 all extend to the top of the operating table 12 and are fixedly connected to arc-shaped clamping blocks 24. Pressure sensors 26 are fixedly connected to the clamping arc surfaces of the four arc-shaped clamping blocks 24. The controller 11 is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 20 and the pressure sensors 26 respectively.
[0027] In some examples, the electric telescopic rod 20 uses an electric push rod of model DTZ300. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 20 is fixedly connected to a lifting block 21 via a coupling. The lifting block 21 is made of aluminum alloy. The side wall of the lifting block 21 is rotatably connected to four rectangular connecting rods 22 via pins. The connecting rods 22 are made of No. 45 steel. The top of each of the four connecting rods 22 is rotatably connected to a cross slider 23 via a pin. The cross slider 23 is made of wear-resistant cast iron. The surface of the bearing placement plate 27 is covered with a rubber anti-slip pad. The top of each of the four cross sliders 23 extends to the top of the operating table 12 and is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped clamping block 24 via bolts. The arc-shaped clamping block 24 is made of engineering plastic and its curvature matches the outer diameter of commonly used bearings. The clamping arc surfaces of the four arc-shaped clamping blocks 24 are fixedly connected to pressure sensors 26 via screws. The pressure sensors 26 are PT124G-111 thin-film pressure sensors. The controller 11 is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 20 and the pressure sensors 26 via wires.
[0028] When bearing positioning is required, firstly, after receiving a start signal, the controller 11 drives the electric telescopic rod 20 to retract, causing the lifting block 21 to move upward. Simultaneously, the four connecting rods 22 pull the cross slider 23 outward along the cross groove 25, causing the arc-shaped clamping block 24 to open. The operator places the bearing to be greased on the bearing placement plate 27. Then, the electric telescopic rod 20 extends in the opposite direction, pushing the lifting block 21 downward. The connecting rods 22 push the cross slider 23 towards the center, and the arc-shaped clamping block 24 gradually clamps the outer ring of the bearing. The pressure sensor 26 collects clamping pressure data in real time and transmits it to the controller 11. When the pressure... When the force reaches the preset threshold, the controller 11 cuts off the power to the electric telescopic rod 20, completing the adaptive pressure positioning of the bearing. In this embodiment, the bearing adaptive pressure positioning component 2 can position bearings of different sizes within a certain range, enabling it to automatically adapt to bearings of different outer diameters, improving the equipment's versatility and reducing adjustment time when changing bearing models. At the same time, the pressure sensor 26 monitors the clamping force in real time, and automatically stops the clamping action when the preset pressure threshold is reached. This can effectively prevent the bearing outer ring from deforming, surface from scratching, or internal from being damaged due to excessive clamping force, or prevent the clamping from being unstable due to insufficient clamping force.
[0029] like Figures 4-5As shown, the grease injection head alignment component 3 is shown in another embodiment of the present invention. The grease injection head alignment component 3 includes a fixed frame 30. The rear side of the fixed frame 30 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The upper and lower inner walls of the fixed frame 30 are rotatably connected to lead screws 31. The top of the fixed frame 30 is fixedly connected to a motor 33. The output end of the motor 33 passes through the interior of the fixed frame 30 and is fixedly connected to the lead screw 31. The left and right sides of the lead screw 31 are provided with slide rods 32 that are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the fixed frame 30. The outer wall of the lead screw 31 is threadedly connected to a movable seat 34 that is slidably connected to the outer walls of the two slide rods 32. The front side of the movable seat 34 is fixedly connected to a cross plate 35.
[0030] A metering valve 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 35. Two side plates 37 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate 35. A worm gear 38 is rotatably connected to the opposite surfaces of the front and rear side plates 37. A motor 39 is fixedly connected to the front side wall of the front side plate 37. The output end of the motor 39 extends through to the rear side wall of the front side plate 37 and is fixedly connected to the worm gear 38. A worm wheel 310 is meshed with the left side of the worm gear 38. A hollow rotating rod 311 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the worm wheel 310. The top of the hollow rotating rod 311 is rotatably connected to the oil outlet at the bottom of the metering valve 36 through a sealed bearing. A grease injection head 312 is detachably fixedly connected to the bottom of the hollow rotating rod 311.
[0031] A fixed rod 313 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the hollow rotating rod 311. A fiber optic sensor 314 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed rod 313 away from the hollow rotating rod 311. The controller 11 is electrically connected to the motor 1 33, the metering valve 36, the motor 2 39, and the fiber optic sensor 314.
[0032] In some examples, the fixed frame 30 is welded from channel steel, and its rear side is fixedly connected to the frame 1 by bolts. The output end of motor 1 33 passes through the interior of the fixed frame 30 and is fixedly connected to the lead screw 31 by a coupling. A metering valve 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the cross plate 35 by bolts. The metering valve 36 is a DFA-25 electromagnetic metering valve. The output end of motor 2 39 passes through the rear side wall of the front side plate 37 and is fixedly connected to the worm gear 38 by a coupling. A hollow rotating rod 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the worm wheel 310 by a key. 1. The top of the hollow rotating rod 311 is rotatably connected to the oil outlet at the bottom of the metering valve 36 via a sealed bearing. The bottom of the hollow rotating rod 311 is detachably fixed with a grease injection head 312 via a thread. The end of the fixed rod 313 away from the hollow rotating rod 311 is fixedly connected with a fiber optic sensor 314 via bolts. The fiber optic sensor 314 is a diffuse reflection type fiber optic sensor of model E3Z-LS63. The controller 11 is electrically connected to the motor 1 33, the metering valve 36, the motor 2 39, and the fiber optic sensor 314 via wires.
[0033] Controller 11 sends a pulse signal to motor 33, driving screw 31 to rotate, causing moving seat 34 to move downward along slide bar 32, bringing grease injection head 312 closer to the bearing. When grease injection head 312 reaches the detection position relative to the bearing surface, fiber optic sensor 314 starts working, emitting a laser beam to scan the bearing surface. By comparing the magnitude of the reflected signals from the ball pocket and non-ball pocket positions, alignment of grease injection head 312 with the bearing ball pocket is achieved. A position signal is generated by identifying the height difference between the ball pocket and the roller. After receiving the signal, controller 11 calculates the angular deviation and drives motor 39 to rotate. The worm gear 38 and worm wheel 310 mesh and drive the hollow rotating rod 311 and the grease injection head 312 to rotate until the grease injection head 312 is aligned with the center of the bearing ball pocket. At this time, the controller 11 stops the second motor 39 and controls the first motor 33 to continue driving the grease injection head 312 to move down to the grease injection working position. In this embodiment, the height and rotation angle of the grease injection head 312 can be adjusted by the grease injection head alignment component 3 to make it accurately aligned with the bearing ball pocket position, avoiding grease injection into non-target areas (such as bearing rollers or outer rings) and ensuring that all grease enters the preset lubrication point.
[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, this invention illustrates a grease preheating and conveying assembly 4 in another embodiment. The grease preheating and conveying assembly 4 includes a conveying cylinder fixing frame 40, which is fixedly connected to the left side of the horizontal plate 35. A conveying cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying cylinder fixing frame 40. The right end of the conveying cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the oil inlet of the metering valve 36. A feed hopper 42 communicating with the inside of the conveying cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the conveying cylinder 41. An auger 43 is rotatably connected inside the conveying cylinder 41. A motor 44 is fixedly connected to the left side of the conveying cylinder 41. The output end of the motor 44 passes through the inside of the conveying cylinder 41 and is fixedly connected to the auger 43.
[0035] Heating plates 45 are uniformly fixedly connected inside the conveying cylinder 41, and temperature sensors are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conveying cylinder 41. The controller 11 is electrically connected to the motor 44, the heating plates 45, and the temperature sensors respectively.
[0036] In some embodiments, the conveying cylinder fixing frame 40 is fixedly connected to the left side of the horizontal plate 35 by bolts. The inside of the conveying cylinder 41 is rotatably connected to the auger 43 through bearings. The left side of the conveying cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the motor 44 by bolts. The output end of the motor 44 passes through the inside of the conveying cylinder 41 and is fixedly connected to the auger 43 through a coupling. The inside of the conveying cylinder 41 is uniformly welded and fixedly connected to the heating plate 45. The inner wall of the conveying cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) by screws. The temperature sensor is a PT100 platinum resistance temperature sensor. The controller 11 is electrically connected to the motor 44, the heating plate 45 and the temperature sensor through wires.
[0037] The controller 11 preheats the heating plate 45 to the conveying cylinder 41. The temperature sensor monitors the grease temperature inside the cylinder in real time. When the temperature reaches the set value, the controller 11 maintains a constant temperature through PID regulation. After the grease injection command is triggered, the motor 44 starts and drives the auger 43 to rotate, breaking up the solid or high-viscosity grease in the feed hopper 42 and pushing it to the metering valve 36. During the pushing process, the grease is continuously heated by the heating plate 45, and the viscosity is reduced to a state suitable for grease injection. The grease preheating and conveying component 4 can effectively reduce the viscosity of the grease, making it more fluid and allowing it to pass through the conveying pipeline and grease injection head more smoothly. This avoids conveying blockage or discontinuous grease injection caused by grease viscosity. Low-viscosity grease has less resistance during conveying and injection. Combined with the auger conveying structure, it can achieve faster and more stable grease pushing and improve grease injection efficiency.
[0038] The controller 11 sends a command to the metering valve 36 according to the preset grease injection amount corresponding to the bearing model. The metering valve 36 opens its internal channel, and the preheated grease is injected into the bearing ball pocket through the inner cavity of the hollow rotating rod 311 from the grease injection head 312. When the grease injection amount reaches the set value, the metering valve 36 quickly closes the channel to complete the metered grease injection. Then, the motor 33 reverses to drive the grease injection head to move up and reset. The electric telescopic rod 20 retracts to release the arc-shaped clamp from the bearing. The operator removes the greased bearing, and the device enters the next working cycle.
[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, after receiving the start signal, the controller 11 drives the electric telescopic rod 20 to retract, causing the lifting block 21 to move upward. Simultaneously, the four connecting rods 22 pull the cross slider 23 outward along the cross groove 25, causing the arc-shaped clamping block 24 to open. The operator places the bearing to be greased on the bearing placement plate 27. Then, the electric telescopic rod 20 extends in the opposite direction, pushing the lifting block 21 downward. Through the connecting rods 22, the cross slider 23 is pushed towards the center, and the arc-shaped clamping block 24 gradually clamps the outer ring of the bearing. The pressure sensor 26 collects the clamping pressure data in real time and transmits it to the controller 11. When the pressure value reaches the preset threshold, the controller 11 cuts off the power to the electric telescopic rod 20, completing the adaptive pressure positioning of the bearing. In this embodiment, the bearing adaptive pressure positioning component 2 can position bearings of different sizes within a certain range, enabling it to automatically adapt to bearings of different outer diameters, improving the equipment's versatility and reducing adjustment time when changing bearing models. At the same time, the pressure sensor 26 monitors the clamping force in real time, and automatically stops the clamping action when the preset pressure threshold is reached. This can effectively prevent the bearing outer ring from deforming, surface scratches, or internal structure damage due to excessive clamping force, or the clamping from being unstable due to insufficient clamping force.
[0040] Controller 11 sends a pulse signal to motor 33, driving screw 31 to rotate, causing moving seat 34 to move downward along slide bar 32, bringing grease injection head 312 closer to the bearing. When grease injection head 312 reaches the detection position relative to the bearing surface, fiber optic sensor 314 starts working, emitting a laser beam to scan the bearing surface. By comparing the magnitude of the reflected signals from the ball pocket and non-ball pocket positions, alignment of grease injection head 312 with the bearing ball pocket is achieved. A position signal is generated by identifying the height difference between the ball pocket and the roller. After receiving the signal, controller 11 calculates the angular deviation and drives motor 39 to rotate. The worm gear 38 and worm wheel 310 mesh and drive the hollow rotating rod 311 and the grease injection head 312 to rotate until the grease injection head 312 is aligned with the center of the bearing ball pocket. At this time, the controller 11 stops the second motor 39 and controls the first motor 33 to continue driving the grease injection head 312 to move down to the grease injection working position. In this embodiment, the height and rotation angle of the grease injection head 312 can be adjusted by the grease injection head alignment component 3 to make it accurately aligned with the bearing ball pocket position, avoiding grease injection into non-target areas (such as bearing rollers or outer rings) and ensuring that all grease enters the preset lubrication point.
[0041] The controller 11 preheats the heating plate 45 to the conveying cylinder 41. The temperature sensor monitors the grease temperature inside the cylinder in real time. When the temperature reaches the set value, the controller 11 maintains a constant temperature through PID regulation. After the grease injection command is triggered, the motor 44 starts and drives the auger 43 to rotate, breaking up the solid or high-viscosity grease in the feed hopper 42 and pushing it to the metering valve 36. During the pushing process, the grease is continuously heated by the heating plate 45, and the viscosity is reduced to a state suitable for grease injection. The grease preheating and conveying component 4 can effectively reduce the viscosity of the grease, making it more fluid and allowing it to pass through the conveying pipeline and grease injection head more smoothly. This avoids conveying blockage or discontinuous grease injection caused by grease viscosity. Low-viscosity grease has less resistance during conveying and injection. Combined with the auger conveying structure, it can achieve faster and more stable grease pushing and improve grease injection efficiency.
[0042] The controller 11 sends a command to the metering valve 36 according to the preset grease injection amount corresponding to the bearing model. The metering valve 36 opens its internal channel, and the preheated grease is injected into the bearing ball pocket through the inner cavity of the hollow rotating rod 311 from the grease injection head 312. When the grease injection amount reaches the set value, the metering valve 36 quickly closes the channel to complete the metered grease injection. Then, the motor 33 reverses to drive the grease injection head to move up and reset. The electric telescopic rod 20 retracts to release the arc-shaped clamp from the bearing. The operator removes the greased bearing, and the device enters the next working cycle.
[0043] It should be noted that the controller 11, electric telescopic rod 20, pressure sensor 26, metering valve 36, fiber optic sensor 314, heating plate 45, temperature sensor, and various motors are all common models available on the market.
