Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lubrication equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent wire rope lubrication device. Background Technology
[0002] The hoisting wire ropes of quay cranes require lubrication and maintenance according to a predetermined lubrication cycle. Lubrication should ideally be performed before the old oil on the wire rope dries out. However, due to resource constraints, current lubrication and maintenance plans are mostly arranged by balancing the lubrication schedule with dockside vessel operations, often using manual oiling. Lubrication is performed in sections, coordinated with the slow movements of the hoisting and trolley. During lubrication, personnel are in direct contact with the wire rope, requiring each person to consider both the quality of lubrication and the coordination of the equipment's mechanisms, posing potential risks to the surrounding steel structures and personnel. Manual oiling carries risks of hand injuries, collisions, uneven application leading to poor lubrication, and leaks at the maintenance site. If the oil film is too thick, it can be splashed out during operations, contaminating equipment structures, passageways, and polluting the working vessels and marine environment.
[0003] During the two lubrication cycles, the oil film on the surface of the wire rope cannot be guaranteed to remain for a long time. When the oil film is damaged, the wire rope of the quay crane is exposed to wind, sun and rain at the seaside, and is also corroded by salt. The wire rope gradually develops from surface rust to internal rust, and then the wires inside and out become brittle. Finally, after the wire rope is reversed by the pulley, most of the wires break. This problem occurs in every wire rope that is used normally, especially in the frequently operated sections of the hoisting wire rope.
[0004] Currently, manual oiling is used to lubricate the hoisting wire ropes of quay cranes. After each lubrication, problems such as uneven oiling and excessively thick oil film cause pollution to surrounding equipment, passageways, ships, and the marine environment to varying degrees during hoisting wire rope operations.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This utility model provides an intelligent wire rope lubrication device, including a first support frame, a second support frame, an oil tank, an electric pump assembly, and an oil distributor.

[0014] The technical solution provided in this application document has the following beneficial effects: This utility model provides an intelligent wire rope lubrication device, including a first support frame, a second support frame, an oil tank, an electric pump assembly, and an oil distributor. The second support frame is welded to the first support frame, and the first support frame is mounted on the wire rope mounting frame. The oil tank is mounted on the second support frame, and the oil distributor is mounted on the first support frame. A connecting pipe is provided between the oil distributor and the oil tank. The electric pump assembly is mounted on the connecting pipe, specifically on the second support frame and at the end of the connecting pipe. The electric pump assembly pumps oil from the oil tank into the oil distributor for distribution, enabling wire rope lubrication without stopping the machine.

Each lubrication port is equipped with a bracket, and a lubrication brush is mounted on the bracket. An oil pipe connects the oil distributor and the lubrication brush, allowing the lubrication brush to contact the wire rope and form a uniform oil film coating. This solves the problem of lubricating oil dripping and splashing during machine operation after wire rope lubrication. With this setup, when the wire rope needs lubrication, the electric pump assembly pumps the oil from the tank into the oil distributor for distribution. The distributor then delivers the distributed oil through oil pipes to the lubrication brushes, which lubricate the wire rope. This reduces the need for manual lubrication or lubrication of certain wire ropes, thus reducing the likelihood of rust. It also avoids problems such as uneven oil application or excessively thick oil film, preventing pollution of surrounding equipment, passageways, ships, and the marine environment during wire rope hoisting operations.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0019] This specific embodiment provides an intelligent wire rope lubrication device, which solves the technical problems of needing to stop the machine and the easy occurrence of splashing during wire rope lubrication in the prior art.
[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments shown below do not limit the scope of the utility model as described in the claims. Additionally, the complete contents of the structures represented in the following embodiments are not limited to those necessary for the solution of the utility model as described in the claims.
[0021] Reference Figures 1-5This utility model provides an intelligent wire rope lubrication device, including a first support frame 1, a second support frame 2, an oil tank 3, an electric pump assembly 4, and an oil distributor 5. The second support frame 2 is welded to the first support frame 1, and the first support frame 1 is mounted on a wire rope mounting bracket. The oil tank 3 is mounted on the second support frame 2, and the oil distributor 5 is mounted on the first support frame 1. A connecting pipe is provided between the oil distributor 5 and the oil tank 3. The electric pump assembly 4 is mounted on the connecting pipe. Specifically, the electric pump assembly 4 is mounted on the second support frame 2 and installed at the end of the connecting pipe. Component 4 can pump the oil in the oil tank 3 into the oil distributor 5 for distribution, thus enabling wire rope lubrication without stopping the machine. For convenient lubrication, at least one lubrication port 11 is provided on the first support frame 1. The position of the lubrication port 11 corresponds to the position of the wire rope roller. A bracket 6 is provided at each lubrication port 11 position, and a lubrication brush 7 is installed on the bracket 6. The oil pipe 8 connects the oil distributor 5 and the lubrication brush 7. The lubrication brush 7 is in contact with the wire rope, and the oil film coating is uniform, which solves the problem of wire rope lubricating oil dripping and splashing during machine operation. With this setup, when the wire rope needs lubrication, the electric pump assembly 4 pumps the oil from the oil tank 3 into the oil distributor 5 for distribution. The oil distributor 5 then delivers the distributed oil to the lubrication brush 7 through the oil pipe 8. The lubrication brush 7 lubricates the wire rope, thereby reducing the need for manual lubrication or situations where lubrication is inconvenient for some wire ropes, reducing the chance of rusting. At the same time, it avoids problems such as uneven oil application and excessively thick oil film, preventing pollution to surrounding equipment, passageways, ships, and the marine environment during wire rope hoisting operations.
[0022] To further optimize the design and facilitate support for the lubrication brush 7, the bracket 6 includes support rods 61, an arc-shaped support plate 62, and an L-shaped support plate 63, all positioned at both ends of the lubrication port 11. The arc-shaped support plate 62 is installed between the two support rods 61, and its curvature corresponds to that of the wire rope, forming an arch. The distance between the arc surface of the arc-shaped support plate 62 and the wire rope remains consistent, reducing the probability of the arc-shaped support plate 62 colliding with the wire rope. Simultaneously, to better support the lubrication brush 7, one end of the L-shaped support plate 63 is installed in the middle of the arc-shaped support plate 62, and the other end is installed on the first support frame 1. This ensures the stability of the arc-shaped support plate 62. The lubrication brush 7 is installed at the intersection of the L-shaped support plate 63 and the arc-shaped support plate 62, ensuring not only the stability of the connection between the L-shaped support plate 63 and the arc-shaped support plate 62 but also the stability of the lubrication brush 7.
[0023] The design is further optimized so that the lubricating brush 7 includes a mounting part and a brush head. The first end of the mounting part is provided with the brush head, and multiple drainage holes are provided on the end face of the first end of the mounting part. The second end of the mounting part is connected to an oil pipe. With this configuration, the oil pipe 8 delivers oil to the mounting part of the lubricating brush 7. The mounting part has a receiving cavity for temporarily storing the oil. At the same time, since there are drainage holes on the end face of the first end of the mounting part, the oil in the receiving cavity flows towards the brush head position along the drainage holes. The oil on the brush head comes into contact with the wire rope to achieve lubrication of the wire rope.
[0024] To further optimize the scheme and enable automatic control, an electrical control box 9 is installed on the first support frame 1. The electrical control box 9 contains a controller, which is electrically connected to the electric pump assembly 4 and the oil distributor 5. When the wire rope needs to be lubricated, the controller controls the electric pump assembly to start, thereby achieving oil lubrication. At the same time, the controller can also be set with a time interval. After a certain period of time, the electric pump assembly 4 will automatically turn on and off to achieve the function of automatic lubrication and reduce the output of manpower and material resources.
[0025] To further optimize the design and ensure effective lubrication, two lubrication brushes 7 are installed at each lubrication port 11. The lubrication brushes 7 are positioned on both sides of the wire rope to ensure the contact area between the lubrication brushes 7 and the wire rope.
[0026] Further optimization of the scheme: the electric pump assembly 4 includes a motor and a pump body. The motor drives the pump body to move so that the oil in the oil tank 3 is pumped into the oil distributor 5. That is, the motor is electrically connected to the controller to control the motor to turn on and off.
[0027] Further optimizing the design, the first support frame 1 includes a support part 12 and an annular part 13. The annular part 13 is installed above the support part 12. The inner diameter of the annular part 13 is the same as the inner diameter of the support part, that is, the inner circumferential surface of the annular part 13 is aligned with the inner circumferential surface of the support part 12. The annular part 13 is larger than the outer diameter of the support part 12, which facilitates the installation of the first support frame 1. At the same time, the oil distributor 5 and the lubrication port 11 are installed in the annular part 13, which facilitates the alignment of the lubrication port 11 with the position of the wire rope. The second support frame 2 is installed below the support part 12.
[0028] In this embodiment, the lubrication port 11 is further optimized and four lubrication ports are provided. The oil distributor 5 is provided with eight oil pipes. This configuration enables simultaneous lubrication of four sets of wire ropes, greatly reducing the labor required.
