DEVICE FOR DISTRIBUTING A LUBRICANT FLOW TRANSPORTED BY MEANS OF A GAS FLOW, AND MACHINE PROVIDED WITH SUCH A DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a device for distributing a lubricant flow S transported by means of a gas flow, especially an air flow, said device comprising a distributing body (2) having a plurality of inflow boreholes (26, 27) which extend from the front surface of the distributing body, along the longitudinal axis (L) thereof and axially parallel in relation to each other, and outflow boreholes (22) which are each connected to one of the inflow boreholes (26) and end on a peripheral surface of the distributing body (2). The invention also relates to a machine provided with such a device. The distributing device according to the invention is easy to mount and allows large volume flows to be distributed to a high number of outflow boreholes. This is achieved in that an adapter ring (4-8) placed over the distributing body (2) is associated with at least one of the outflow boreholes (22), the width of the adapter ring covering part of the length of the distributing body (2), which is larger than the diameter of the outflow opening (23) of the outflow borehole (22) associated with the ring, said adapter ring comprising at least one opening (35) through which the lubricant/gas flow S leaving the outflow borehole (22) associated with the ring leaves.
