Detailed Implementation
[0018] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of the utility model will be provided below, along with preferred embodiments. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.
[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0020] Example: See Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a filter-supply lubrication device, including an oil storage tank 1, a filter element 2, an oil supply pipe 3, and a coating head 4; the filter element 2 is installed in the oil storage tank 1, the first end of the oil supply pipe 3 is connected to the oil storage tank 1, and the second end of the oil supply pipe 3 is connected to the coating head 4; an oil inlet 11 is provided at the upper end of the oil storage tank 1, and the oil inlet 11 is arranged correspondingly to the filter element 2; an oil outlet 12 is provided at the lower end of the oil storage tank 1, and the oil outlet 12 is connected to the oil supply pipe 3.
[0021] It is known that waste oil is poured into the oil storage tank 1 from the oil inlet 11 and then directly enters the filter element 2 for filtration. The filtered oil is then transported from the oil outlet 12 through the oil pipeline 3 to the coating head 4. The coating head 4 is installed on the equipment that needs to be lubricated, such as for lubricating chains, gears, or pins.
[0022] It should be noted that waste oil generally contains impurities such as solid particles. Typically, when the concentration of solid particles in the oil reaches a certain value, or when the number of solid particles larger than a certain diameter in a unit of oil exceeds a certain quantity, the oil can no longer be used for lubricating precision parts. However, directly discarding this oil is both a waste of resources and extremely costly to process, making it highly uneconomical. Research has found that while this oil is no longer suitable for lubricating precision parts, it can be used in some components with lower transmission precision, thus enabling the comprehensive utilization of waste oil and improving economic efficiency.
[0023] Through the design of the above structure, waste oil is recycled and reused. By installing the coating head 4 onto the mechanism that needs lubrication, such as for lubricating a chain, the lubricating oil automatically flows from the oil storage tank 1 to the coating head 4, realizing automatic delivery and lubrication without manual intervention. Therefore, in actual use, only periodic inspection is required, and manual oiling and lubrication are not necessary, which greatly saves labor and improves economic efficiency.
[0024] Furthermore, the height of the oil outlet 12 is higher than the height of the coating head 4. It can be understood that this arrangement allows the oil to automatically flow from the oil storage tank 1 to the coating head 4 under gravity via the oil supply pipe 3. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the height of the oil outlet 12 can also be flush with or lower than the coating head 4, as long as the oil level in the oil storage tank 1 is higher than the height of the coating head 4, the oil in the oil storage tank 1 can automatically flow to the coating head 4.
[0025] Preferably, it also includes a control valve 5, which is installed on the oil supply pipe 3. The control valve 5 controls the flow rate of the oil supply pipe 3, so that the amount of oil delivered matches the amount of oil required by the lubricated equipment, preventing excessive oil delivery that would lead to oil waste or excessive oil flowing onto the ground and causing ground pollution.
[0026] Preferably, the oil pipeline 3 includes a main pipe 31 and branch pipes 32. Multiple branch pipes 32 are provided, and all branch pipes 32 are connected to the main pipe 31. The main pipe is arranged in a T-shape, and the multiple branch pipes 32 are distributed at intervals along the main pipe. The end of the main pipe 31 away from the branch pipes 32 is connected to the oil outlet 12. Multiple coating heads 4 are provided, and the multiple coating heads 4 are arranged one-to-one with the multiple branch pipes 32. The control valve 5 includes a main valve 51 and branch valves 52. The main valve 51 is installed on the main pipe 31, and multiple branch valves 52 are provided. The multiple branch valves 52 are respectively installed on the multiple branch pipes 32, and the multiple branch valves 52 are arranged one-to-one with the multiple branch pipes 32.
[0027] It is known that the oil is distributed to each branch pipe 32 through the main pipe 31. The oil flows from the oil storage tank 1 through the main pipe 31 to each branch pipe 32, and then through each branch pipe 32 to the coating head 4. Finally, the oil is brushed onto the lubricated equipment through the coating head 4.
[0028] It should be noted that the main valve 51 and branch valves 52 can be ordinary manual regulating valves or electromagnetic regulating valves. The main valve 51 is used to control the opening and closing of the main pipe 31, and the branch valve 52 is a flow regulating valve to control the oil flow of each branch pipe 32. The main pipe 31 is a rigid pipe, and each branch pipe 32 is a flexible pipe. The flexible pipes are easy to change direction, making it convenient for the hiking head to move and change direction, and are easy to use.
[0029] Preferably, the system also includes a support block 6, which is arranged at the bottom of the oil storage tank 1. The filter element 2 is fixedly connected to the support block 6, and a gap is formed between the filter element 2 and the bottom wall of the oil storage tank 1. By setting the support block 6, the filter element 2 is suspended within the oil storage tank 1, ensuring that the height of the unfiltered oil in the filter element 2 is higher than the height of the filtered oil in the oil storage tank 1. This creates a height difference, causing the oil in the filter element 2 to flow out under gravity, facilitating the filtration of the oil from the filter element 2. Specifically, multiple support blocks 6 are arranged, and these multiple support blocks 6 together provide support for the filter element 2, improving the stability of the support.
[0030] During use, it was discovered that the waste oil contained impurities such as water. This water not only cannot be used to lubricate the equipment, but its presence is also harmful to the equipment, easily causing rust and oil emulsification. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the water from the waste oil.
[0031] Based on this, a drain pipe 7 and a drain valve 8 are also provided. The drain pipe 7 is installed at the bottom of the oil storage tank 1 and is connected to the inside of the oil storage tank 1. The drain valve 8 is installed on the drain pipe 7. The oil outlet 12 is arranged above the bottom wall of the oil storage tank 1. Because water is denser than oil, when the filtered oil and water are stored in the oil storage tank 1, the water will sink to the bottom of the oil storage tank 1. Since the drain pipe 7 is the lowest point, the water in the oil will first collect at the drain pipe 7. At this time, by opening the drain valve 8, the water in the drain pipe 7 and the oil storage tank 1 can be drained, preventing water from entering the lubricated equipment through the oil supply pipe 3. In addition, by arranging the oil outlet 12 at a height higher than the bottom wall of the oil storage tank 1, it is further prevented that the oil will flow out from the oil outlet 12 to the lubricated equipment.
[0032] Preferably, the filter element 2 has an opening at the top, which corresponds to the oil inlet 11. The filter element 2 includes a bottom filter wall 21 and a side filter wall 22, with the side filter wall 22 surrounding the bottom filter wall 21. Waste oil enters the filter element 2 sequentially through the oil inlet 11 and the opening. The oil is simultaneously filtered by the bottom filter wall 21 and the side filter wall 22, removing solid impurities from the oil, reducing the concentration of solid particles, and improving the oil quality to meet the requirements of the lubricated equipment.
[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the filter bottom wall 21 is arranged in a circular or rectangular shape, and the filter side walls 22 are arranged around the filter bottom wall 21. The filter side walls 22 are arranged in a pleated shape to increase the filtration area and improve the filtration efficiency. In some other embodiments, the filter bottom wall 21 may also be arranged in a rectangular or other shape, and the filter side walls 22 may be arranged around the bottom wall.
[0034] Preferably, the coating head 4 includes a brush 41 and a fixing seat 42. The brush 41 is connected to the oil supply pipe 3. The first end of the fixing seat 42 is fixed to the brush 41, and the second end of the fixing seat 42 extends outward. It is understood that the brush 41 is fixedly connected to the lubricated equipment, such as the frame of a chain, via the fixing seat 42, and the chain is lubricated by the brush 41. The branch pipe 32 in the oil supply pipe 3 is connected to the brush 41. Specifically, the oil output from the branch pipe 32 flows along the brush 41, from the root of the brush 41 to the tip of the brush 41. As the chain rotates, the oil is brushed onto the chain.
[0035] Of course, the coating head 4 can also be a sponge brush. The branch pipe 32 delivers the oil to the sponge brush, and the sponge brush applies the oil to the equipment being lubricated. In some embodiments, the coating head 4 may only include a mounting base, through which the branch pipe 32 of the oil supply pipe 3 is directly installed on the equipment being lubricated, and the oil drips directly from the outlet of the branch pipe 32 onto the equipment being lubricated to lubricate it.
[0036] Preferably, the system further includes a guide hopper 9, which is arranged on the oil storage tank 1 and at the oil inlet 11, facing the filter element 2. The guide hopper 9 is welded inside the oil storage tank 1, and its outlet faces the filter element 2. The guide hopper 9 guides the oil, allowing it to smoothly enter the filter element 2 for filtration.
[0037] It should be noted that the oil inlet 11 should not be set too large. If it is set too large, the oil will flow directly to the opening of the filter element 2. If it is set too small, it will be inconvenient to pour the oil.
[0038] Therefore, an oil baffle 10 can be installed on the oil storage tank 1, and the oil baffle 10 is arranged around the top of the oil storage tank 1, with the oil inlet 11 enclosed within the oil baffle 10. With the oil baffle 10 installed, when pouring oil, it is only necessary to pour the oil inside the oil baffle 10, reducing the difficulty of pouring and preventing oil spillage, thus improving convenience. It should also be noted that a round steel bar is installed at the top of the oil baffle 10. This round steel bar creates a rounded transition at the top of the oil baffle 10, preventing sharp edges from injuring people and improving safety when pouring oil.
[0039] It also includes a support frame, on which the oil storage tank 1 is supported. By raising the height of the oil storage tank 1 with the support frame, the oil can flow by gravity without the need for power, thus saving energy and improving economy.
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
