[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When replenishing grease at a grease station or pump unit on-site, this novel grease reservoir device first replenishes the grease reservoir through an external refueling line and a quick-connect fitting. The amount of grease is then monitored by a weighing sensor connected to the microcontroller control box of the grease reservoir. When the upper limit of the grease reservoir is reached, the microcontroller control box activates an alarm to indicate that the reservoir is full. Conversely, an alarm will also sound when the grease level is low, allowing personnel to take timely action. In summary, this utility model measures the grease content in the reservoir by weighing, providing a quick and easy way to determine the grease level.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grease storage technology, and in particular to a novel grease storage tank device. Background Technology
[0002] In metallurgical enterprises, hot rolling mills require adequate lubrication throughout the entire process. Grease lubrication, also known as dry grease lubrication, is a crucial component of the grease lubrication system, ensuring the normal operation of the rolling mill. During the rolling process, various adverse factors on-site can cause the grease tank to fail to meet the requirements of automated oil supply, affecting the normal lubrication of on-site machinery. Currently, grease reservoirs require regular inspection by workers, making it impossible to constantly monitor grease levels. During replenishment, a lack of grease in the reservoir can cause cavitation in the pump connected to the reservoir, leading to damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new, safer grease reservoir device that measures grease content by weighing, allowing for quick and easy monitoring of the grease level and providing alarms for excessively low or high levels. This device would overcome current shortcomings and meet current needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A novel grease reservoir device includes a grease reservoir, a weighing sensor, and a reservoir bracket. The grease reservoir is located above the reservoir bracket and is used to store grease. The weighing sensor is fixedly installed on the reservoir bracket and supports the grease reservoir. The grease reservoir and the weighing sensor are fixedly connected. An outlet ball valve is installed at the bottom of the grease reservoir. A filter is connected to the lower side of the outlet ball valve. A buffer connector is connected to the lower side of the filter. An elbow and a quick connector are connected to the lower side of the buffer connector. A quick-fill connector is provided on the upper right side of the grease reservoir. A microcontroller control box is fixedly installed on the grease reservoir. A display screen and an alarm are installed on the microcontroller control box. The weighing sensor, display screen, and alarm are all electrically connected to the microcontroller control box.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the grease reservoir is funnel-shaped.
[0007] Preferably, a safety ladder is fixed to the side of the grease reservoir, and a grease reservoir inspection cover is detachably installed on the top of the grease reservoir.

The amount of grease is then monitored by a weighing sensor connected to the microcontroller control box of the grease reservoir. When the upper limit of the grease reservoir is reached, the microcontroller control box activates an alarm to indicate that the reservoir is full. Conversely, an alarm will also sound when the grease level is low, allowing personnel to take timely action. In summary, this utility model measures the grease content in the reservoir by weighing, providing a quick and easy way to determine the grease level.

[0012] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0013] Specific implementation examples are given below.
[0014] See Figure 1In this embodiment of the present invention, a novel grease reservoir device includes a grease reservoir 1, a weighing sensor 3, and a reservoir support 10. The grease reservoir 1 is located above the reservoir support 10 and is used to store grease. The weighing sensor 3 is fixedly installed on the reservoir support 10 and is used to support the grease reservoir 1. The grease reservoir 1 and the weighing sensor 3 are fixedly connected. By measuring the weight of the grease reservoir 1 using the weighing sensor 3 and pre-subtracting the weight of the grease reservoir 1 itself, the content of grease in the grease reservoir 1 can be determined. An outlet ball valve 2 is installed at the bottom of the grease reservoir 1. Opening the outlet ball valve 2 allows the grease in the grease reservoir 1 to be discharged. A filter 4 is connected to the lower side of the outlet ball valve 2, and the lower side of the filter 4 is connected to... A buffer connector 5 is provided, and an elbow and quick connector 6 are connected to the lower side of the buffer connector 5. The elbow and quick connector 6 are used to connect with other pipelines to transport grease. A quick oil replenishment connector 9 is provided on the upper right side of the grease reservoir 1. The quick oil replenishment connector 9 is used to replenish grease into the grease reservoir 1. A single-chip microcomputer control box 11 is fixedly installed on the grease reservoir 1. The single-chip microcomputer control box 11 is equipped with a display screen 12 and an alarm 13. The weighing sensor 3, the display screen 12 and the alarm 13 are all electrically connected to the single-chip microcomputer control box 11. The weighing sensor 3 transmits the measured data to the single-chip microcomputer control box 11, and the data is displayed on the display screen 12 for viewing, so that people can clearly understand the grease content in the grease reservoir 1 and make timely replenishment convenient.
[0015] The bottom of the grease reservoir 1 is funnel-shaped so that the grease can be discharged from the bottom of the grease reservoir 1.
[0016] A safety ladder 7 is fixed to the side of the grease reservoir 1, and a grease reservoir inspection cover 8 is detachably installed on the top of the grease reservoir 1. In case of a problem, a person can climb up the safety ladder 7 to open the grease reservoir inspection cover 8 for inspection.
[0017] Working principle: When replenishing grease at a grease station or pump unit on site, this new type of grease reservoir device first replenishes grease to the grease reservoir 1 through an external refueling pipeline via a quick refueling connector 9. The amount of grease stored is then monitored by the single-chip microcomputer control box 11 of the grease reservoir 1 via the weighing sensor 3. When the upper limit of the grease reservoir 1 is reached, the single-chip microcomputer control box 11 controls the alarm 13 to issue an alarm (with the upper and lower limits of the weight alarm value preset), indicating that the grease reservoir 1 is full. Conversely, an alarm will also be issued when there is no grease in the grease reservoir 1, so that the staff can take appropriate action in time.
[0018] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
