Please refer to Figs~ 1, 4 and 6, the automatic grease dispenser according to the present invention comprises a body (1) and a base (2). The body (1) contains a circuit board (3), a current transformer (40), a motor (5 ), a reduction gear set (6), a rotary shaft (7) and a pusher (8). The base (2) is for holding of a grease pack (23) and has an outlet (21) for grease from the grease pack (23). The base (2) is made of transparent material to facilitate viewing for remaining grease in the grease pack (23).
The base (2) is designed with an outer thread (22) on the top for connecting to the body (1) by means of a nut (13). The base (2) can be removed from the body (1) by loosening the nut (13) for replacement of the grease pack (23). A gasket (14) is placed between the base (2) and the body (1) to assure tight connection.
The ~ody (1) has a hollow hole (111) on the top. A
viewing glass (112) is formed with a thread for fixing to the hollow hole (111), The viewing glass (112) can be removed by turning. As shown in Fig. 2, the circuit board (3) is located beneath the viewing glass (11), and has two rows of dip switches (31 and 31'), in which the dip switch (31) is for ad~ustment of operating period of the motor (5) to control grease output, and the other dip switch (31') is to control intermittent working cycle of the motor (5) for intermittent oiling. A
switch (32) is placed beside the dip switches (31 and 31') to drive the motor (5) for reverse operation when the grease pack (23) is exhausted for resetting of the pusher (8). Two LEDs (33 and 33') are used to indicate e~h~l~stion of the grease pack (23) and normal operation of the grease dispenser respectively.
.. . .
As shown in Figs. 4 and 7, there are two alternative for power source to the motor (5) - AC power source with a current transformer (40) installed within the body (1) as shown in Fig. 4; or DC power source by installation of a plurality of dry batteries (42) in a battery Ch? h~r (41) designed within the body (1) as shown in Fig. 7. A battery chr ~er cover (43) is particularly designed to ease repl~- ~ t of the batteries (42).
Please refer to Figs. 3, 4 and 6, the motor (5) is fixed at the lower body section (12), and has an o~LpuL
shaft (51) engaging with an output gear (52). The ouL~uL gear (52) is en~a~e~ with the first gear (61) of the reduction gear set (6). The rotary shaft (7) is formed with a shank (71) at the upper end and a threaded section (72) at the lower end. The shank (71) is connected to a transmission gear (73) engaged with the last gear (62) of the reduction gear set (6). A
,' ; . ' . ~ ' ' ' ' sleeve (15) is placed between the ~hank (71) and the lower body section (12) to ease rotation of the rotary . shaft (7). The upper end of the shank (71) is placed in the bottom of the upper body section (11).
A hole (114) is designed with a flange (113) to prevent from swinging of the rotary shaft (7). The upper body section (11) and the lower body section (12) are formed as to separate parts to facilitate assembly of components in the body (1), and are joined together by supersonic welding to form the body (1) after - assembly.
The pusher (8) comprises a piston (82) and a piston rod (81). The piston (82) has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the base (2) .' to facilitate vertical displ?c~ - t of the pusher (8) in the base (2), and to permit convection of air therein.
The piston (82) is designed with a concPntric stepped head to squeeze the grease pack (23) for an optimum pressure concentration to result the best output. The piston rod (81) is extended upward from the center of the piston (82), and has an axial hole (811). The axial -hole (811) has a smaller diameter and an inner thread (812) at the upper end for connecting to the threaded section (72) of t~e said rotary shaft (7). The piston rod (81) h~S ~ longitudinal groove (813) for insertion of a positioning element (16) extended from the lower body section (12) to prevent from rotation of the pusher (8) following the rotation of the rotary shaft (7).
.; .
As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, when the motor (5) is running, it, after reduction by the reduction gear set (6), drives the rotary shaft (7) and then the pusher (8) to displace downward to squeeze the grease pack (23) so ' that grease in the grease pack (23) is squeezed out of the outlet (21).
' , Fig. 8 illustrates an application of the automatic grease dispenser according to th~ present invention.
The outlet (21) is locked by means of thread to an oiling port of a bearing base (9) to lubricate a bearing --(91) intermittently in a constant quantity periodically.
This automatic grease dispenser can be used for any machine requiring lubrication with grease.
. .
For use of the automatic grease dispenser according to the present invention, a grease pack (23) is placed in the base (2) first, and then the motor (5) is i -adjusted for intermittent operating cycle as shown in Fig. 2 for output of grease in constant quantity and at constant interval. When the grease pack (23) is austed, the switch (32) is turned on to run the motor (5) in reverse direction for displacing the pusher (8) ,- '. ,-.. .

. g upward and resetting of the pusher (8), and then the base (2) can be removed from the body (1) for repl~c~ r-nt of the grease pack (23). After replacement of the grease pack (23), the base (2) is fixed to the body (1) to resume operation.
Apparently, the present invention can eliminate the conventional grease dispenser's defects, as follows:
10(1) It can control grease output precisely: Two rows of dip switches are used to set up intermittent operating cycle and output period for constant output at constant intervals, and eliminate the defect of ; in~cc~7rate output volume as happened in the conventional grease dispenser; and (2) It eliminates accumulation of pressure that deteriorate grease quantity: The present invention applies a pressure to the grease only during it is working to force out the grease, and no pressure is applied to the grease when there is no output from the present invention. Therefore, after prolonged operation, base oil in the grease will not be forced out and the grease will not be hardened. It is a design to prevent from deteriorati~n of grease quality due to prolonged pressure applied to the grease by compression spring.
