Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lubrication equipment technology, and specifically to an oiling device for ICV valves. Background Technology
[0002] The ICV valve is a one-way valve, also known as a check valve, and is an essential component connecting the fuel tank and fuel line in a car to prevent fuel backflow. During refueling, the fuel nozzle adds fuel to the tank through the fuel line and ICV valve. To facilitate the installation of the ICV valve and the metal filler cap, lubricant needs to be applied to the sealing ring inside the valve during installation, allowing for quick and smooth installation without damaging the valve's structure. Currently, the common method is to manually apply lubricant to the sealing ring inside the ICV valve using a brush. However, manual application is inefficient, and the brush bristles will shed over time. These shed bristles remaining inside the ICV valve can affect its seal or enter the fuel pump during refueling, potentially damaging the pump. Utility Model Content

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0034] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.
[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an oiling device for an ICV valve is provided for applying oil to the inside of the ICV valve. The oiling device for the ICV valve includes:
[0036] The conformal template 1 includes an annular wall 11 and a liquid outlet head 12. The liquid outlet head 12 is disposed inside the annular wall 11 and forms a receiving cavity 2 for installing an ICV valve between the liquid outlet head 12 and the annular wall 11. The liquid outlet head 12 is provided with a liquid outlet groove 121. The liquid outlet head 12 is adapted to extend into the interior of the ICV valve and make the liquid outlet groove 121 contact the sealing ring of the ICV valve.
[0037] The liquid supply system is connected to the liquid outlet tank 121 to provide lubricating fluid to the liquid outlet tank 121, and the lubricating fluid is adapted to flow through the liquid outlet tank 121 to the sealing ring.
[0038] The lubrication device for the ICV valve provided in this embodiment improves the lubrication application efficiency of the ICV valve by installing the ICV valve in the accommodating cavity 2 and applying lubricant to the sealing ring through the liquid outlet 12, and can also avoid damage to the oil tank electric pump caused by brush shedding.
[0039] Specifically, the conformal template 1 is used to support the installation of the ICV valve. The shape of the receiving cavity 2 is adapted to the shape of the ICV valve. After the operator places the ICV valve into the receiving cavity 2, the outlet groove 121 is close to the sealing ring of the ICV valve. After the ICV valve is placed, the liquid supply system starts working, delivering lubricant to the outlet head 12 and allowing the lubricant to flow through the outlet groove 121 onto the sealing ring. During this process, the operator can manually rotate the ICV valve circumferentially by a certain angle to ensure that a larger area of the sealing ring is coated with lubricant. Compared to related technologies that use a brush to apply lubricant over a large area around the sealing ring, by bringing the outlet groove 121 into contact with the sealing ring, it is beneficial to precisely apply lubricant to the sealing ring itself and improves work efficiency compared to manual application.
[0040] In one embodiment, combined Figures 1 to 6 As shown, there are multiple outlet tanks 121, which are distributed at equal intervals along the circumference of the ICV valve.
[0041] The lubrication device for the ICV valve provided in this embodiment provides multiple outlet grooves 121 that are equidistantly distributed along the circumference of the ICV valve, so that the multiple outlet grooves 121 can contact the sealing ring evenly, thereby making the lubricant evenly distributed on the sealing ring.
[0042] Specifically, the axial direction of the sealing ring is parallel to the axial direction of the ICV valve. Multiple outlet grooves 121 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the ICV valve, allowing the operator to evenly apply lubricant to the sealing ring without rotating the ICV valve or making small-angle rotations along its circumference. In one feasible embodiment, the number of outlet grooves 121 is 16.
[0043] In one embodiment, combined Figure 6 As shown, an outlet pipe 15 is provided inside the outlet head 12 and is connected to the outlet tank 121; the liquid supply system includes a storage tank 3 and an electric pump 4. The inlet of the electric pump 4 is connected to the storage tank 3, and the outlet of the electric pump 4 is connected to the outlet pipe 15.
[0044] Specifically, the storage tank 3 contains lubricating fluid, the inlet of the electric pump 4 is connected to the bottom area of the inner cavity of the storage tank 3, the outlet of the electric pump 4 is connected to the inlet of the outlet pipe 15, and the outlet of the outlet pipe 15 is connected to the inlet of the outlet tank 121. The electric pump 4 is used to pump the lubricating fluid in the storage tank 3 to the outlet pipe 15 and to make the lubricating fluid flow to the sealing ring through the outlet tank 121.
[0045] In one embodiment, combined Figures 1 to 4As shown, the oiling device for the ICV valve also includes a valve presence sensor 5 and a time relay 6. The valve presence sensor 5 is located at the contour template 1 and is used to detect whether an ICV valve is installed in the accommodating cavity 2. The valve presence sensor 5 is electrically connected to the electric pump 4 through the time relay 6.
[0046] The lubrication device for the ICV valve provided in this embodiment uses a time relay 6 to ensure that the working time of the electric pump 4 is relatively stable each time, and to facilitate the adjustment of the single working time of the electric pump 4. This allows for adjustment of the working cycle and output volume as needed, avoiding excessive output of lubricating fluid.
[0047] Specifically, when the valve presence sensor 5 detects that the ICV valve is installed inside the conformal template 1, it transmits a signal to the time relay 6. The time relay 6 controls the electric pump 4 to run for a period of time, defined as H, where 0.4s ≤ H ≤ 0.6s. Controlling the operating time of the electric pump 4 via the time relay 6, compared to manual control, helps ensure a relatively stable amount of lubricant flowing onto the sealing ring each time. This avoids the problem in related technologies where the amount of lubricant applied by the brush is uneven, and when too much is applied, excess lubricant flows into the sealing cap, leading to poor sealing test results and affecting subsequent sealing inspections.
[0048] Although the specific circuit connections between the valve presence sensor 5, time relay 6, electric pump 4, and indicator light 8 are not described in detail in this technical solution, this is because such connections are technically feasible for those skilled in the art based on the actual models of the valve presence sensor 5, time relay 6, indicator light 8, electric pump 4, and indicator light 8 used. The circuits involved mainly involve basic circuit designs such as power supply lines and signal transmission lines. Therefore, even without a specific circuit diagram, those skilled in the art can understand how to implement this technical solution.
[0049] In one embodiment, the valve presence sensor 5 includes a photoelectric sensor.
[0050] Specifically, the valve presence sensor 5 includes a photoelectric sensor or a pressure sensor, etc. Preferably, a photoelectric sensor is used to avoid direct contact with the ICV valve and to prevent damage. The photoelectric sensor is located outside the conforming template 1, and a through hole is provided on the side wall of the annular wall 11, into which the probe of the photoelectric sensor extends.
[0051] In one embodiment, the volume of the storage tank 3 is 280 ml-330 ml.
[0052] For example, in some embodiments, the volume of the liquid storage tank 3 can be 280ml or 290ml or 300ml or 310ml or 320ml or 330ml, or it can be a range formed by any two of the above values.
[0053] As a feasible implementation, the liquid storage tank 3 has a volume of 300ml, and one replenishment can complete 2500~3000 products. It needs to be replenished every 2~3 days. On the one hand, this avoids the problem of excessive replenishment frequency caused by too small a volume, and on the other hand, it avoids the problem of excessively large oiling device volume caused by too large a volume.
[0054] In one embodiment, combined Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the oiling device for the ICV valve also includes a housing 7, a contour template 1 is disposed on the upper end face of the housing 7, and an oil supply system is disposed inside the housing 7.
[0055] The oiling device for ICV valves provided in this embodiment has a housing 7 to protect the components located inside it.
[0056] Specifically, the liquid storage tank 3, the electric pump 4, and the time relay 6 are installed inside the housing 7. The valve presence sensor 5 is fixedly connected to the housing 7 via a U-shaped bracket 16. Since the electric pump 4 generates heat during operation, heat dissipation holes are provided on the housing 7 for heat dissipation. The lubrication device for the ICV valve can be connected to an external power source to power the electric pump 4, the valve presence sensor 5, and the time relay 6.
[0057] In one embodiment, combined Figure 1 As shown, an indicator light 8 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 7, and the indicator light 8 is electrically connected to the electric pump 4.
[0058] The oiling device for the ICV valve provided in this embodiment displays the working status of the electric pump 4 by setting an indicator light 8, which makes it easy for operators to intuitively know the working status of the electric pump 4 and reduces the risk of removing the ICV valve from the template 1 when the electric pump 4 is working.
[0059] In one embodiment, combined Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a level gauge 9 is also provided on the outside of the housing 7. The level gauge 9 is used to display the liquid level in the storage tank 3.
[0060] The lubrication device for ICV valves provided in this embodiment, by setting a level gauge 9, allows the operator to intuitively and conveniently observe the liquid level in the storage tank 3, so as to replenish the lubricant in a timely manner.
[0061] Specifically, the top of the liquid storage tank 3 is provided with a liquid injection hole 13 to facilitate the addition of lubricating fluid into the liquid storage tank 3 through the liquid injection hole 13. The housing 7 is provided with a relief groove 14 corresponding to the liquid injection hole 13 to provide clearance for the liquid injection hole 13.
[0062] In one embodiment, an anti-slip pad is provided on the underside of the housing 7.
[0063] The oiling device for ICV valves provided in this embodiment improves the stability of the oiling device for ICV valves when placed on a table by providing an anti-slip pad under the housing 7.
[0064] Specifically, the housing 7 is made of stainless steel, and the anti-slip pads are such as rubber pads or silicone pads. Furthermore, the bottom of the housing is provided with multiple fixing plates 10, and the fixing plates 10 have through holes. The table surface for placing the oiling device has threaded holes corresponding to the through holes, so as to fix the housing to the table surface with bolts.
[0065] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear illustration and are not intended to limit the implementation. Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by the present invention.
