Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a lubricating device, in particular to an active lubricating device for a mining vehicle axle main reducer assembly. Background Art

[0002] At present, most of the existing mining vehicle axle main reducer assemblies adopt a passive lubrication structure, which realizes the lubrication of the gear meshing parts and bearings by stirring the lubricating oil through gear transmission. The main problem with this lubrication structure is that when the speed of the main reducer assembly is too low, the range of the gear stirring the lubricating oil is limited, which can easily cause lubrication failure due to insufficient lubricating oil.

[0003] However, mining vehicles operate at a low speed and in harsh operating conditions, so differentials are used more frequently. The inter-axle differential mainly relies on gear transmission to stir the lubricating oil and throw the oil to achieve lubrication. Mining vehicles operate at low speeds for a long time, which can easily lead to insufficient inter-axle differential lubricating oil, resulting in bearing failure, abnormal wear and ablation of planetary gears, axle gears, and cross shafts. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: an active lubrication device for a mining vehicle axle main reducer assembly, which solves the problem of lubrication failure caused by low-speed operation.

[0005] The technical solution to solve the above technical problems is: an active lubrication device for a mining vehicle axle main reducer assembly, including a main reducer assembly, which is arranged on a bridge housing, and lubricating oil is installed in the bridge housing. The main reducer assembly includes a main reducer housing and an inter-axle differential, and the inter-axle differential is arranged in the main reducer housing. An oil pump is provided on the main reducer assembly, and the oil pump is connected to the main reducer assembly. The oil pump is provided with a plurality of lubricating oil pipes, and the lubricating oil pipes include an oil extraction pipe and an oil injection pipe. The oil extraction pipe is connected to the lubricating oil in the bridge housing to extract the lubricating oil in the bridge housing, and the oil injection pipe is connected to the main reducer housing, and the oil pump is driven by the main reducer assembly, and the lubricating oil is sprayed on the two bearings of the inter-axle differential and the oil is sprayed on the entire inter-axle differential through the oil injection pipe. An oil filter is provided on the oil extraction pipe.

[0006] A further technical solution of the present invention is: the oil pump is installed on the main reducer housing through the bridge case cover, the oil pump is connected to the main reducer assembly through the driving bevel gear, and the oil pump is driven to rotate through the power chain of the main reducer assembly.

[0007] The main reducer assembly includes an input shaft, a driving cylindrical gear, a passive cylindrical gear and a driving bevel gear. The driving cylindrical gear is arranged on the input shaft and connected to the input shaft. The passive cylindrical gear is fixed on the driving bevel gear. The driving bevel gear is arranged on the reducer housing through a bearing. The passive cylindrical gear meshes with the driving cylindrical gear for transmission, thereby driving the driving bevel gear to rotate. The pin shaft of the oil pump is connected to the driving bevel gear, and the oil pump is driven through the driving bevel gear.

[0008] The oil injection pipe includes a first oil pipe and a second oil pipe. The oil pump outlet is connected to the first oil pipe and the second oil pipe respectively through a three-way interface. The lubricating oil is sprayed onto the input shaft bearing of the inter-axle differential through the first oil pipe, and the lubricating oil is sprayed onto the rear half shaft bearing of the inter-axle differential through the second oil pipe.

[0009] The second oil pipe sprays the lubricating oil on the rear half shaft bearing, and the lubricating oil flows through the rear half shaft bearing, rear half shaft gear, inter-axle planetary gear, inter-axle cross shaft and inter-axle differential case; the first oil pipe sprays the lubricating oil on the input shaft bearing, plane thrust bearing, active cylindrical gear and sliding meshing sleeve. The lubricating oil is drawn by the oil pump and sprayed on the entire inter-axle differential, thereby achieving the purpose of active lubrication.

[0010] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the active lubrication device of the mining vehicle axle main reducer assembly of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention provides an oil pump on the main reduction assembly, and uses the active bevel gear to drive the oil pump to rotate and provide power. The oil pump is provided with multiple lubricating oil pipes to extract lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil is sprayed on the two bearings of the inter-axle differential through the oil pump and the oil pipes, and the lubricating oil is sprayed on the entire inter-axle differential to achieve the purpose of active lubrication. Reduce the inter-axle differential failure caused by insufficient lubrication and improve the overall performance and reliability of the drive axle.

[0011] 2. When the main reduction assembly rotates, it drives the oil pump to rotate, providing power to pump oil and spray the inter-axle differential for lubrication. Even if the mining vehicle is used at a low speed, active lubrication can be achieved through the device when the vehicle is running. The present invention improves the lubrication effect of the inter-axle differential assembly of the main reduction assembly of the mining vehicle axle, and solves the problem of lubrication failure caused by low-speed operation.

[0012] Next, the technical features of the active lubrication device of the main reducer assembly of a mining vehicle axle of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments of the specification. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
