Definitions
- the present patent application relates to a grease lubrication system combined with a system for transportation of hydraulic oil, and the invention is more particularly directed to such a lubrication and hydraulic oil system, which is formed as a closed and pressurized system which is fully sealed and eliminates the risk of spill of grease and hydraulic oil.
- the invention has been developed especially in connection to hydraulic arms of the type which are rotated or are both swinged/turned and rotated about a bearing pin or a bearing ball, actuated by a piston-cylinder apparatus which at the bearing pin or bearing ball thereof is fixed in relation to a stationary bearing block.
- the invention has been especially developed in connection to improvements of the type of hoseless hydraulic piston-cylinder apparatus, generally referred to as hydraulic cylinders or hydraulic arms which are shown for instance in the patent publication WO 83/0281 4 (in the name of the present applicant).
- the invention is especially useful in connection to said type of hoseless hydraulic cylinders, and in the following it will be described with reference to axial motors of piston-cylinder type, especially hydraulic cylinders which are rotatable in one plane of a slide bearing or which are universally rotatable over a ball bearing.
- the lubrication place is evacuated so that grease can be forced through the entire lubrication system, and whereby also in this case a certain amount of grease is generally pressed out at the end of the lubrication system and is left at the road or in the nature.
- the said patent solves the problem of providing a grease lubrication system which is formed so that there is normally no spill of grease into the nature, so that there is an optimum little consumption of grease at the lubrication places, so that the grease lubrication follows automatically and with a constant grease lubrication, so that the grease is pressed into the lubrication places with a constant pressure, so that the grease lubrication is made with long time action, and so that the machine or the vehicle must not be stopped recurrently for filling of grease.
- the object of the invention is to solve the problems involved in both two-dimensionally and universally movable arms actuated by hydraulic cylinders, both as concerns spill of lubrication grease, and also as concerns leaking, cracked or torn apart hydraulic hoses.
- the bearing pin for the bearing ball of the two-dimensionally or the universally movable arm is formed both with a pressurized, closed system for continuous lubrication of the bearing places between the bearing ball and the bearing sockets, and with means for pressurized, closed supply of hydraulic fluid to the two sides of the piston of the hydraulic piston-cylinder apparatus, without the need of using flexible hoses.
- the supply of hydraulic fluid to the bearing pin is made by means of solid tubes, and the transportation of hydraulic fluid from said bearing pin to the piston rod side of the extendible piston is likewise made by means of solid tubes which are directly connected to a projecting part of the bearing pin.
- connection part between the bearing pin and the hydraulic tube extending between the two ends of the hydraulic cylinder can be formed with ball joints, through which hydraulic oil can flow in both directions.
- figure 1 shows a hydraulic piston-cylinder apparatus of hoseless type in a partly cut open condition, which apparatus is formed with a closed, pressurized grease lubrication system and with hoseless means for supply of hydraulic fluid to the two ends of the hydraulic cylinder.
- Figure 2 is a diagrammatic side view of the apparatus of figure 1 , and figure 3 shows the opposite side of the hydraulic arm according to figure 2.
- Figure 4 is an enlarged view of the grease lubrication system according to the invention in a hydraulic arm having a ball joint for transmitting universal motion moments.
- Figure 5 shows a hydraulic arm having a slide bearing for transmitting rotary movements in one plane, and figure 6 shows, more in detail, the means for supply of lubrication grease and hydraulic fluid through the bearing pin to the movable hydraulic cylinder.
- the hydraulic arm shown in the drawings comprises a cylinder part 1 , in which a piston 2 is displaceable.
- the cylinder 1 has a lower cylinder socket 3 and an upper cylinder socket 4.
- the lower cylinder socket 3 is formed with a cylinder ear 5 having a connection means for a bearing pin 6, which is mounted in a bearing block 7 which can be stationary in relation to the machine arm.
- the bearing is a ball type bearing having a bearing ball 8, which is mounted in two annular ball bearing sockets 9 which are clamped to the cylinder ear 5.
- the hydraulic arm is special in that it is hoseless, and in that the hydraulic fluid is transmitted through the bearing pin 6 to and from both the piston side 10 and the piston rod side 1 1 .
- the bearing pin has a first axial bore 12 extending from an outer pressure medium connection 13 halfway through the bearing ball 6.
- the bearing ball 6 has an all around extending slot 14, into which pressure medium is distributed through one or more radial bores 1 5 extending from the axial bore 12, and from there pressure medium is transmitted through a passageway 1 6 into the piston side 10 of the cylinder.
- a lubrication system of the above described ball joint type, which is essential to the invention is shown most clearly in figures 4 and 6, and a corresponding lubrication system having a slide bearing is most clearly shown in figure 5.
- the cylinder ear 5 is formed with two press nipples 24 (see figure 2), or one press nipple 24 and an evacuation plug. Said two connections are intended to make it possible to check that the entire grease lubrication system is filled up with lubrication grease.
- the grease is pressed out, with practically constant pressure, to the lubrication surfaces between the bearing ball 8 and the bearing sockets 9.
- the apparatus shown in figure 5 differs from the above mentioned ball joint embodiment mainly only in that figure 5 relates to a slide bearing embodiment, in which the lubrication should be made between the slide surfaces between the bearing pin 6 and the bearing sockets 9. Otherwise the two embodiments are structurally analogous.
- FIG 6 there is shown an alternative embodiment in which the hydraulic fluid from the piston rod side 1 1 is utilized as a source of pressure for the piston 28 in the pressure chamber 27.
- a branch conduit 31 connected at a place of the feeding side for the bearing pin 6, and in that said branch conduit 31 , over passageways 32, open in the cavity for the piston rod 30 through a specially designed pressure nipple 33.
- the pressure acts against the side of the piston formed eith the piston rod 30.
- the apparatus shown in figure 5 is suited for such fields of use in which the hydraulic arm can only rotate in a predetermined plane. In many cases the hydraulic arm can rotate/turn both sideways and in a predetermined plane of operation, whereby the joint place must be capable of receiving universal movements. In such cases the ball joint embodiment shown in figures 1 , 4 and 6 is best suited.
