Description

Technical area

The The invention relates to a lubricating oil supply device for fitness equipment.

State of the art

The Running machine usually has a motor driven shaft through which the track turns into a revolving motion can be offset. Under the raceway a running plate is provided. When using, between the raceway and the running plate a Friction occur, which cause wear of the raceway and heat can. Therefore, the Career be lubricated. Lubrication takes place in general as follows: 1. manual oil filling: the Lubricating oil is injected by the user between the raceway and the running board; 2. Oil tank: the oil tank points an oil pipe on, extending to the point between the track and the running plate extends, reducing the lubricating oil by operation a switch on the oil tank between the Running track and the running plate can flow; 3rd oil carpet: the oil carpet is with the lubricating oil soaked and arranged under the track. These methods of lubrication are bothersome and can be uniform lubrication not reach the career path.

Object of the invention

Of the Invention is based on the object, a lubricating oil supply device to create for fitness equipment from an oil container, one Air pump and an oil distributor exists, the air pump under the control of an odometer air promotes into the oil tank, causing the lubricating oil emerges from the oil reservoir and through the oil distributor on the fitness machine is distributed.

Ways to execute the invention

Like from the 1 it can be seen, the invention consists of an oil reservoir 10 , an air pump 15 and an oil distributor 18 , The oil tank 10 has an airtight lid 11 , an oil inlet 12 , an air intake 13 and an oil outlet 14 , The oil inlet 12 is with a check valve 121 provided and with an oil supply 120 connected, causing the lubricating oil 100 through the oil supply 120 can be filled in the oil tank. The air intake 13 is via an air supply line 130 with the air pump 15 connected, causing the air pump 15 can pump the air into the oil tank, so that the lubricating oil 100 from the oil outlet 14 flows. The oil outlet 14 is over an oil pipe 17 with the oil distributor 18 connected. The oil distributor 18 has a plurality of oil outlet openings 19 on. Between the oil outlet 14 and the oil pipe 17 is a solenoid valve 16 provided that can be opened and closed. In the oil tank 10 is a floating ball 21 intended. On the outside of the oil tank 10 is a sensor 20 attached, the height of the hover ball 20 which allows the oil level in the oil reservoir to be measured.

In 2 the invention is on a running machine 30 Applied to a motor driven shaft 32 through which the raceway 31 can be placed in a circulating motion. Under the career 31 is a running plate 33 provided at the oil distributor 18 is attached. The oil pipe 17 , the oil container 10 and the air pump 15 can be attached to a suitable location of the running machine.

After switching on, the air pump promotes 15 the air in the oil tank 10 , The air pressure causes the lubricating oil 100 in the oil reservoir through the oil outlet 14 , the solenoid valve 16 (in the open position) and the oil pipe 17 from the oil outlet openings 19 of the oil distributor 18 out, reducing the career 31 from the Schieröl 100 is lubricated ( 2 ). This will reduce the frictional force between the raceway 31 and the board 33 reduced.

The air pump 15 Can with the odometer of the running machine 15 get connected. This allows the air pump 15 be controlled so that when a predetermined distance is reached, the air pump 15 is automatically activated. After a predetermined period of time, the air pump 15 automatically deactivated. The longer the distance traveled, the higher the amount of lubricating oil. Therefore, over-driving and under-driving the oil supply is avoided.

The check valve 121 the oil supply 120 serves to prevent backflow of the lubricating oil 100 and an exit of air. The solenoid valve 16 has a backup function. If the lid 11 not airtight, is the solenoid valve 16 closed, whereby accidental leakage of the lubricating oil can be prevented. The sensor 15 that the oil level in the oil tank 10 can measure, can be connected to an alarm Warning to be generated when the oil level reaches a minimum.

Thereby, the invention can deliver the lubricating oil smoothly, so that the height of the oil tank 10 and the air pump 15 is not limited.

• 1. in 3 ist die Luftpumpe 15 mit dem Ölbehälter 10 einteilig ausgebildet, wie direkt an dem Ölbehälter und dem Deckel befestigt;
• 2. in 4 ist im Ölbehälter 10 ein Kolben 22 vorgesehen, der mit einer Kolbenstange 23 verbunden ist und im Ölbehälter 10 hin und her bewegt werden kann;
• 3. der Sensor 20, der den Ölstand im Ölbehälter 10 messen kann, kann ein Infrarorsensor oder ein Metallsensor sein.

The following describes the embodiments of the invention:

• 1st in 3 is the air pump 15 with the oil container 10 integrally formed as attached directly to the oil reservoir and the lid;
• 2. in 4 is in the oil tank 10 a piston 22 provided with a piston rod 23 is connected and in the oil tank 10 can be moved back and forth;
• 3. the sensor 20 that the oil level in the oil tank 10 can be an infrared sensor or a metal sensor.

by virtue of the above facts, the invention corresponds in its availability, Progressiveness and novelty fully on the requirements for a utility model.
