Definitions

• the invention relates to a lubricator according to the preamble of claim 1, for the defined supply of lubricant to a lubrication point, for example to a warehouse.
• a lubricant dispenser comprising a container open at an outlet opening, wherein a supply of a lubricant is arranged between the outlet opening and a slide which can be moved in the direction of the outlet opening, in particular a membrane or a piston, and an actuating element whose operation moves the slide towards the outlet opening.
• the slider is designed as a piston and the actuating element as a set screw, the screw shaft portions of different colors, so that from the color of the screw shaft can be closed at least indirectly on the position of the piston in the housing and thus on the already depressed amount of lubricant.
• the adjacently disposed on the slider lubricant has a different color from the rest of the lubricant. If the lubricant with the different color is out of the outlet opening, the operator immediately recognizes that the supply of lubricant is running low and needs to be replaced.
• the lubricant of the different color has the same lubricating properties as the rest of the lubricant, particularly when it is provided that the lubricant disposed adjacent to the slider comprises a dye, and the dye leaves the lubricating properties unaffected.
• the actuating element is a gas valve
• the actuation of a pressure between the slide and the gas valve is adjustable.
• a connecting hose can be placed between the gas valve and a supply of pressure medium, so that by supplying pressure medium, the slide can be actuated and lubricant can be released without the operator needing to be in close proximity to the container with the lubricant.
• FIG. 1 shows schematically a sectional view of a FIG
• a lubricant dispenser comprising a container 2 which is open at an outlet opening 1, wherein a supply 4 of a lubricant is arranged between the outlet opening 1 and a slide 3 which is movable in the direction of the outlet opening 1, ie a piston, and an actuating element 5 whose operation moves the slider 3 toward the outlet port 1.
• the lubricant 6 has a brownish or gray base color at a distance from the slider 3.
• the lubricant is provided with a dye which gives the lubricant a different color from the base color, in particular it is provided that the adjacently disposed on the slider 3 lubricant 7 has a different from the remaining lubricant 6, red color ,
• the actuating element 5 for the piston 3 designed as a slide valve comprises a gas valve 8, by the operation of compressed air in the area between the slide 3 and the closed end portion 9 of the container 2 facing away from the outlet opening 1, so that a pressure between the slide 3 and the gas valve 8 in the delimited by the slide 3, separated from the supply 4 part of the container 2 is adjustable when the gas valve 8 is opened and additional compressed air in the delimited by the piston 3 end portion 9 of the container 2 can flow through a compressed air line, not shown.
• An increase in the pressure of the compressed air in the delimited by the piston 3 end portion 9 then causes a displacement of the piston 3, whereby specifically additional lubricant can escape from the outlet opening 1.
• the gas valve 8 can be operated remotely, so that the operator does not have to be in the immediate vicinity of the container 2 in order to demand lubricant.
• the red-colored lubricant 7 as an indication of the lubricant consumption can be provided in the wall of the container 2, a viewing window that extends along the displacement of the slider 3 and the piston, and through which a mark on the slide 3 and ., The piston is read from the outside, wherein the mark indicates the position of the slider 3 and the piston within the container 2.
• the change in the marking which may in particular include a scale, it is possible to determine whether any lubricant exits the container 2 at all.
• the compressed air which sets the piston 3 in motion, is then increased until lubricant escapes from the container 2 and can reach the bearing point to be lubricated.
• the slider 3 was provided as a piston, which in particular was to be operated pneumatically. It is understood that the spool may also include a diaphragm that expands in compressed air to the outlet port 1 to allow additional lubricant to exit the outlet port 1.
• a compressed air line was provided to actuate the slider 3 and the piston, respectively. It is understood that a compressed air cylinder may be provided in order to achieve sufficient for the operation of the slide 3 overpressure.
