During use, telescopic booms of forklifts or reach stackers often experience vibration. Research and analysis indicate that this is mostly caused by lubrication issues. Problems such as unreasonable oil passage design in existing lubrication systems, non-standard component arrangement, and unsuitable lubricant selection lead to poor lubrication and thus vibration problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a lubrication system that solves the problem of vibration during the operation of a telescopic boom. This lubrication system solves the problem of uncontrollable frequency of manual grease application by incorporating an automatic lubrication pump. It delivers grease separately through a distributor and oil lines, addressing the issue of inaccurate control over grease application at different lubrication points, preventing excess grease from contaminating the vehicle body, and saving costs while solving the vibration problem during telescopic boom operation.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a lubrication system for solving the problem of vibration during telescopic boom operation, comprising: An automatic lubrication pump is used to automatically pump grease into the oil line according to a set time. The main distributor is connected to the automatic lubrication pump via an oil line to receive the grease pumped out by the automatic lubrication pump, and delivers the grease to the front and rear ends of the telescopic boom via the oil line. The sizes of the oil inlets of the main distributor to the front and rear ends of the telescopic boom are different. Multiple friction blocks are respectively disposed at the front and rear ends of the telescopic arm and connected to the oil outlet of the main distributor through oil pipes, so as to coat the surface of the telescopic arm with grease in the oil pipes to form an oil film on the surface of the telescopic arm for continuous lubrication.
[0005] Optionally, the friction block disposed at the front end of the telescopic arm includes: The first friction block is disposed between the fixed arm lower plate and the telescopic arm base plate of the telescopic arm, and the front end face of the first friction block is flush with the front end face of the fixed arm lower plate.

[0021] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a lubrication system structure for solving the problem of vibration during telescopic boom operation, according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the telescopic arm and fixed arm, and their orientation, according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1 and Figure 2The lubrication system includes an automatic lubrication pump 1, a main distributor 2, and multiple friction blocks 3. Specifically, the automatic lubrication pump 1 automatically pumps grease into the oil line 11 according to a set time. The main distributor 2 is connected to the automatic lubrication pump 1 through the oil line 11 to receive the grease pumped out by the automatic lubrication pump 1 and deliver the grease to the front and rear ends of the telescopic boom 4 through the oil line 11. The oil inlets of the main distributor 2 to the front and rear ends of the telescopic boom 4 are of different sizes. Multiple friction blocks 3 are respectively set at the front and rear ends of the telescopic boom 4 and are connected to the oil inlets of the main distributor 2 through the oil line 11 to coat the grease in the oil line 11 onto the surface of the telescopic boom 4 to form an oil film for continuous lubrication. The automatic lubrication pump 1 operates at 8-hour intervals, with each lubrication session lasting 500 seconds. During these 500-second sessions, approximately 0.35-0.4 ml of grease is pumped out. This amount is consistent with the grease consumed during 8 hours of daily operation, ensuring the entire lubrication system provides an adequate supply of grease to maintain a continuous oil film between the telescopic arm 4 and the friction block 3. Furthermore, precise timing and oil quantity control prevents excess grease waste and vehicle contamination. In addition, because #0 grease has good fluidity but too low viscosity, it cannot form a good coating on the surface of the telescopic arm 4, which is not conducive to the formation of an oil film. #2 grease has high viscosity but poor fluidity, which is not conducive to the removal of friction debris and can easily cause blockage of the lubrication pipeline. #1 grease is more suitable, as it can ensure both fluidity and sufficient viscosity. To avoid the presence of air cavities in the lubrication pipeline, the oil line 11 should be filled with grease in advance before installation. If the entire assembly is completed and then the pump is used to fill the oil, the presence of air cavities in the pipeline will cause poor filling and affect the lubrication efficiency. The main distributor 2 adopts a design with different outlets and different discharge capacities, which can meet the oil supply needs within the lubrication time period without any excess waste.
[0022] In this embodiment, the friction block 3 disposed at the front end of the telescopic arm 4 includes a first friction block 31 and a second friction block 32. Specifically, the first friction block 31 is disposed between the fixed arm lower plate 5 and the telescopic arm base plate 41 of the telescopic arm 4. The telescopic arm 4 is naturally pressed against the upper surface of the first friction block 31 by gravity, and the front end face of the first friction block 31 is flush with the front end face of the fixed arm lower plate 5. A gap is provided near the side end face of the telescopic arm base plate 41, which can be 25mm. Because the first friction block 31 bears the greatest weight, friction debris is most likely to be generated here. This edge arrangement can quickly discharge friction debris with the movement of the telescopic arm 4, and also facilitates the replacement of the friction block 3. The second friction block 32 is inserted and installed on both sides of the fixed arm side plate 6. It adopts an insert installation. When the slider needs to be replaced, it can be pulled out and replaced in the left and right directions. At the same time, the gap with the outer surface of the telescopic arm 4 can be adjusted by adding or removing shims in the left and right directions to ensure that the friction block 3 is always in contact with the outer surface of the telescopic arm 4, so that grease can be applied to the surface of the telescopic arm 4, and the service life of the friction block 3 can be extended.
[0023] In this embodiment, the friction block 3 disposed at the rear end of the telescopic arm 4 includes a third friction block 33 and a fourth friction block 34. Specifically, the third friction block 33 is disposed on the rear end face of the telescopic arm 4 to coat the surface of the telescopic arm 4 with grease. The fourth friction block 34 is disposed on both sides of the rear end of the telescopic arm 4 to coat the surface of the telescopic arm 4 with grease.
[0024] In this embodiment, the first friction block 31, the third friction block 33, and the fourth friction block 34 are all configured as rectangular structures 7, with diamond-shaped grooves on their top surfaces. A first oil injection hole 71 is located at the center of the rectangular structure 7. After the lubricating grease is injected, it flows along the symmetrically arranged diamond-shaped grooves to various parts of the friction block 3 surface. In this embodiment, the oil groove width can be 6mm and the depth can be 5mm. This structure increases the grease-accommodating cavity, increases the grease capacity, and slows down grease consumption. Furthermore, the symmetrically arranged diamond-shaped grooves ensure uniform grease distribution and improve the penetration and spreadability of the grease film. The first oil injection hole 71 is connected to the oil pipe 11 and is used to inject the lubricating grease into the diamond-shaped grooves. Specifically, it can be as follows... Figure 3 As shown.
[0025] In this embodiment, wedge-shaped notches 72 are provided on opposite sides of the rectangular structure 7, and semi-circular grooves 73 are provided on opposite sides where the wedge-shaped notches 72 are not provided. The friction block 3 is designed with wedge-shaped notches 72 and semi-circular grooves 73. When replacing the friction block 3, a screwdriver can be inserted into the wedge-shaped notches 72 to pry up the friction block 3, and then a hook can be used to hook the semi-circular grooves 73 to pull out the friction block 3. Replacing the friction block 3 is convenient and efficient. Specifically, it can be done as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0026] In this embodiment, the second friction block 32 is configured as a circular structure 8, with a second oil injection hole 81 at its center. The second friction block 32 serves as the main friction block in the left-right direction, combining left-right limiting and reducing motion friction. Since frequent gap adjustments are required, its circular, small-faceted design facilitates installation and left-right gap adjustment. Specifically, it can be configured as follows... Figure 5 As shown.
[0027] In this embodiment, the lubrication system further includes a proximity five-way distributor 9 and a distance seven-way distributor 10. Specifically, the proximity five-way distributor 9 is connected to one oil line 11 of the main distributor 2 to deliver grease to the first friction block 31 and the second friction block 32. The distance seven-way distributor 10 is connected to another oil line 11 of the main distributor 2 to deliver grease to the third friction block 33 and the fourth friction block 34. The oil outlet of the main distributor 2 connected to the proximity five-way distributor 9 has a displacement of 0.14 ml / r, and the oil outlet connected to the distance seven-way distributor 10 has a displacement of 0.25 ml / r. This configuration can meet the oil supply requirements within the lubrication time period without causing excess waste.
[0028] Through the above technical solution, this utility model provides a lubrication system to solve the problem of vibration during the operation of a telescopic boom. An automatic lubrication pump 1 automatically pumps grease into an oil line 11 according to a set time. The oil line 11 connects a main distributor 2 to the automatic lubrication pump 1 to receive the grease pumped out. The grease is then delivered to the front and rear ends of the telescopic boom 4 via the oil line 11. The oil inlets of the main distributor 2 to the front and rear ends of the telescopic boom 4 are of different sizes to control the grease discharge. Multiple friction blocks 3 are respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the telescopic boom 4 and connected to the oil inlets of the main distributor 2 via the oil line 11 to coat the surface of the telescopic boom 4 with the grease in the oil line 11, forming an oil film for continuous lubrication. The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a lubrication system that solves the problem of vibration during the operation of a telescopic boom 4. This lubrication system solves the problem of uncontrollable frequency of manual grease application by setting up an automatic lubrication pump 1. The grease is delivered separately through the distributor and oil line 11, which solves the problem of inaccurate control of grease application at different lubrication points, avoids excess grease from contaminating the vehicle body, solves the problem of vibration during operation of the telescopic boom 4, and saves costs.

Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention. This includes combining various specific technical features in any suitable manner. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not describe the various possible combinations separately. However, these simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
