The utility model provides an oil cup for lubricating an
elevator guide rail, which relates to the technical field of
elevator accessories, and comprises an
oil storage cavity, a connecting piece, a sealing cover, an extension cavity, a lubricating component, a sliding block, a through groove, a guide plate, an iron block, an
electromagnet, an elastic piece, a sleeve and a cotton
rope cluster, according to the oil cup, when a lift car of an
elevator moves, the cotton
rope cluster can make contact with the surface of a guide rail, lubricating oil is drained to the surface of the guide rail through the
capillary action of the cotton
rope cluster to lubricate the surface of the guide rail, and when the lift car of the elevator does not move, the lubricating oil is drained to the surface of the guide rail through the
capillary action of the cotton rope cluster. The cotton rope cluster is separated from the surface of the guide rail, and meanwhile the cotton rope cluster is retracted into the extension cavity, so that lubricating oil cannot be guided to the surface of the guide rail through the cotton rope cluster, and meanwhile the lubricating
oil can flow back into the extension cavity and the
oil storage cavity, consumption of the lubricating oil is reduced, the frequency of adding oil into the
oil storage cavity is reduced, and it is guaranteed that an elevator can be continuously and normally used.
