MECHANISM FOR AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION OF BRAKE CABLES Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B66B7/12 

FIELD: shipbuilding.

SUBSTANCE: invention is intended for the lubrication of cable systems of military and civilian ships (cables for towing ships, cable systems of lifting and transport equipment, etc.). The technical problem of the claimed invention is to create a mechanism for automated lubrication of brake cables on military and civilian ships. The automated brake cables lubrication device contains a unit consisting of two tightly fitting parts. Inside the body are located: bumpers-limit switches and cuff brushes located on both sides of the specified unit, device for non-destructive testing of the cable containing gap sensors that scan the integrity of brake cable and, through communication module, transmit scanning parameters to operator's control panel, reservoir with lubricant, inside of which heating elements are made, metering bushings that supply lubricant by drip to cable and located on both sides of grease reservoir, a drive roller and pressure rollers with spring mechanism, control unit that transmits control signals received from the operator's control panel to electric motor switch with gearbox launching drive roller and battery.

EFFECT: automated ship brake cables lubrication mechanism is proposed.
