Abstract
A lubricating device (1) and method in which a lubricant shot is generated by a supply of lubricant and air, the later being activated before, during and following the dispersing of the lubricant shot. The air supply travels two paths; one leads to a piston chamber (24) and causes a piston assembly (36) to move which, in turn, effects lubricant dispersing; the remaining air path permits air to exit the nozzle device (31) to mix with and direct lubricant to a desired area of lubrication.
Description
- This invention relates to a lubricating assembly and method and in particular to apparatus for lubricating the frictional area between a locomotive wheel flange and rail during operation of the locomotive.
- There are many applications which require the lubrication of surfaces to reduce friction and wear. One such application is in the railroad industry where a locomotive wheel flange contacts a rail resulting in frictional build-up of heat and wear both to the wheel and rail. Excessive frictional contact between rail and flange is undesired because the amount of lost energy can be quite appreciable especially in instances where a locomotive pulls approximately one hundred cars, each of which is subject to frictional heat build-up and wear. It has been estimated that a significant savings of locomotive fuel requirements could be obtained if the energy lost due to the frictional engagement between rail and wheel could be reduced. It thus is highly desirable to minimize the effects of frictional engagement between the wheel flange and the rail.
- One method for reducing friction and wear has been to lubricate the area between the wheel flange and rail. Several efforts have been made to apply the proper amount of lubricant at the desired location. One such system is disclosed and claimed in our pending patent application S.N. 785,571 filed October 8, 1985 entitled "Wheel Flange and Rail Lubrication Apparatus". In the lubricating system disclosed in that application, we employ a lubricating nozzle assembly in which a nozzle is located contiguous to the zone of lubrication between the wheel flange and rail. While the lubricating system disclosed in our pending application performs satisfactorily in most instances, there are occasions where the shot of lubricant delivered to the area to be lubricated is not entirely satisfactory. It has been found that, in some instances, the lubricant does not properly lubricate the desired area because of inconsistent lubricant delivery pressure. The delivery pressure of the aforementioned system is dependent upon and essentially identical to the inlet pressure, and significant inlet pressure variations can be experienced due to temperature fluctuations in the lubricant line which supplies lubricant to the lubricating nozzle. The pressure may vary by a factor of two (2) with a 20° F temperature change.
- What is desired is to have a relatively smooth and consistent shot of lubricant delivered to a confined area of the wheel flange and rail by a lubricating system which is relatively insensitive to lubricant pressure variations at the inlet to the lubricating nozzle.
- A pressure multiplying piston assembly in the lubricating nozzle regulates the lubricant delivery pressure by utilizing a readily available supply of compressed air which is maintained within a narrow pressure range and is independent of temperature variations.
- The lubricating device of the present invention serves to deliver the desired shot of lubricant to the desired area of lubrication. The lubrication system of the present invention delivers lubricant from the device at approximately 20 times the air supply pressure. The air supply, which is approximately 100 psi, is activated before, during and following the dispensing of the lubricant from the nozzle device.
- Briefly, the invention disclosed and claimed herein utilizes a lubricant shot generated by a supply of lubricant and air. The air is delivered to an air inlet port in the nozzle device and then travels two paths. One path directs air to an exit port where the air exits from the outlet port, which is an annular-shaped port, surrounding a lubricant exit port. The air exiting the nozzle device serves to mix with and direct the lubricant to the desired area of lubrication of a wheel flange or other item.
- A second air path permits the air to enter a second piston chamber where the air forces a piston assembly to move in a desired direction as to cause a piston to move along the length of the longitudinal axis of a piston chamber.
- Lubricant such as grease is delivered to the lubricating device at a pressure between 100 to 700 psi. The lubricant enters a nozzle inlet port which leads to a first piston chamber. The lubricant enters the piston chamber and is directed along the length of a longitudinal bore located in the piston. The piston is adapted to move in the first piston chamber to a particular location where a transverse piston bore which connects to the longitudinal piston bore, is aligned with a nozzle bore. Upon alignment, the lubricant exits under pressure from the piston through the nozzle bore and out the nozzle tip. As the lubricant exits the nozzle tip, air simultaneously exits the annular-shaped port which surrounds the lubricant nozzle tip. The air surrounds and mixes with the lubricant to direct a shot of lubricant to a desired location on the target to be lubricated such as a wheel flange. It has been found that the nozzle assembly and lubricating method of the present invention serves to provide an improved lubricating system.

The lubricant travels through axial bore 25 and transverse bore 27 which intersects bore 25. - Air from
hose 18 enters lubricating device 1 atair inlet 30.

One end of
nozzle member 31 is located adjacent port 70, the nozzle being adapted to be screwed into member 4.Nozzle member 31 includes a firstlongitudinal bore 71 one end of which is aligned with port 70, while the remaining end terminates into a second, reduced bore 72 located at the outboard end ofmember 31. - Locking
cap 80 is disposed overnozzle member 31 at its outboard end and is screwed intothreads 82 inmember 2.Cap 80 includes an innercylindrical wall 83 which is slightly larger in diameter than the diameter of the outercylindrical wall section 84 ofmember 31, the difference in diameters being sufficient to provide an air passage betweenwalls cylindrical wall section 85 ofnozzle member 31 is slightly smaller than the diameter ofcylindrical wall section 86 ofcap 80 whereby air is permitted to pass betweenwall sections bore 72 whereby air passes through the annular ring and forms around, and, if desired, mixes with lubricant discharged through nozzle bore 72 ofexit port 87. - The operation of the lubricating device is seen in Figures 2 and 3. Air enters device 1 from
hose 18 and travels two paths. The first path comprises the passage of air frompassageway 30 between thecylindrical wall sections lubricant exit port 87. - A second path of air travels through
air passageway 30, aroundnozzle member 31 and throughpassageways passageway 35 forces biasedpiston cup 39 downward intochamber 37 thereby compressing spring 50 and forcing residual air inchamber 37 throughair vent 90 connected topiston chamber 37. - As seen in Figure 3, downward movement of
cup 39 causes piston 26 to move downward andclose lubricant port 23. Piston 26 continues its downward movement untilport 23 is aligned with second piston recess area 61 and first piston recess area 62 is aligned with port 70 at which time lubricant will exit out of transverse bore 27 and recess area 62, through port 70 and bores 71 and 72 ofnozzle member 31. The lubricant exitsmember 31 atnozzle exit port 87 and is surrounded by and mixed with the annular ring of air exiting betweenwall sections - Subsequent to the shot of lubricant being delivered to the wheel flange, the air supply to the nozzle device 1 is shut off and
