Abstract
A mobile lubrication pump has a motor for driving the pump for producing a pump pressure, a pressure monitor for measuring the pump pressure, a motor controller for regulating the operation of the motor, and a data processing unit (DPU) for communicating with the motor controller, and for receiving: 1) input from the pressure monitor, and 2) user input related to pump capacity and/or lubrication target. The data processing unit is configured to determine and communicate a motor speed and/or motor torque to the motor controller based on the received input 1) and 2).
Claims25
A mobile lubrication pump, comprising:
- a motor for driving the pump for producing a pump pressure;
- a pressure monitor for measuring the pump pressure;
- a motor controller for regulating the operation of the motor;
- a data processing unit (DPU) for communicating with the motor controller, and for receiving:
- 1) input from the pressure monitor, and 2) user input related to:
- a maximum lubrication pressure of a lubrication target;
- and
- wherein the data processing unit is configured to determine and communicate a motor speed and/or motor torque to the motor controller based on the received input 1) and 2).
A method for regulating the pump pressure of a mobile lubrication pump, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a mobile lubrication pump comprising a pump, a motor, and a pressure monitor;
- b) providing at least one condition parameter via a communication device, wherein the condition parameter is related to:
- a maximum lubrication pressure of a lubrication target;
- c) measuring the pump pressure;
- d) determining and regulating the speed and/or torque of the motor based on the input in b) and c).
