[0002] Underground mining trucks are one of the main transportation equipment in trackless underground mining operations. They are characterized by good power performance, maneuverability, versatility, and economy, making them suitable for heavy-duty, long-distance underground transportation operations. They are currently widely used in various suitable underground mines with significant results. With the continuous development and promotion of trackless mining technology, the market prospects for underground mining trucks are increasingly promising. At the same time, increasingly stringent requirements are being placed on the development of mining trucks, demanding higher levels of automation, safety, comfort, reliability, and environmental friendliness.

[0003] The underground mining truck with diesel engine is driven by a diesel engine. The diesel engine transmits power to the gearbox (which is integrated with the transfer case) through the drive shaft. The gearbox uses a dual-shaft output to the front and rear drive axles to enable the vehicle to move. However, the diesel truck does not meet environmental protection requirements.

[0004] The original oil extraction machine is replaced by a traction motor. The output shaft of the traction motor is connected to the original drive shaft, which transmits power to the gearbox (integrated with the transfer case). The gearbox uses a dual-shaft output, supplying power to the front and rear drive axles to enable vehicle movement. This traction motor + gearbox solution has low transmission efficiency and requires gear shifting, causing jerking during driving and a possibility of gear slippage. Utility Model Content

The traction motor is located above the reducer and is connected to the reducer via a flange.

The principle of this utility model is as follows: by using a traction motor to directly drive the reducer, no gear shifting is required during vehicle movement, enabling stepless speed regulation of the vehicle, and the system transmission efficiency is high. The single-motor system setup simplifies motor control, increases reliability, and facilitates implementation.

[0016] 4. The traction motor adopts an explosion-proof design, which can be used in environments such as underground dust, flammable and explosive gases, and relatively confined spaces;

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the present invention.

[0019] Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the internal transmission relationship of the speed reducer. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a pure electric underground mining truck powertrain includes a traction motor 1 and a reducer 2. The traction motor 1 is located above the reducer 2, with its output shaft facing downwards and connected to the input shaft 21 of the reducer 2 via a spline. The traction motor 1 is vertically mounted on the first-stage reducer 2 via a flange. The torque of the traction motor 1 and the reducer 2 is longitudinally coupled, while the output of the reducer 2 is lateral. In traction mode, the power supply provides power to the traction motor 1 through the traction controller. The traction motor 1 drives the reducer 2 to transmit traction power through the front and rear axles to the original mechanical drive axle, driving the vehicle. In electric braking mode, the traction motor 1 operates as a generator, converting kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is then recovered to the power supply through the traction controller and high-voltage box, improving energy utilization.

[0022] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, the reducer 2 has a transmission shaft 29 inside. The input shaft of the reducer 2 and the transmission shaft 29 are arranged longitudinally, while the output shaft of the reducer 2 is arranged laterally. The input shaft 21 and the output shaft 27 of the reducer 2 are perpendicular. The input shaft 21 of the reducer 2 has a first gear 22 and a second gear 23. The transmission shaft 29 of the reducer 2 has a third gear 24 and a first bevel gear 25. The output shaft 27 of the reducer 2 has a second bevel gear 26. The first gear 22 and the third gear 24 mesh, and after one stage of speed change, the power is transmitted to the first bevel gear 25. The first bevel gear 25 meshes with the second bevel gear 26. The first bevel gear 25 is a small gear, and the second bevel gear 26 is a large gear. Through the meshing of the first bevel gear 25 and the second bevel gear 26, the speed is further reduced and the torque is increased, and the direction of rotation is changed. Finally, the power is output through the output shaft 27 of the reducer 2. The second gear 23 meshes with the oil pump gear 28, and drives the oil pump 4 after a first-stage speed reduction. The oil pressure established by the oil pump 4 lubricates and cools the reducer 2.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the traction motor 1 is an explosion-proof permanent magnet synchronous traction motor 1. The traction motor 1 adopts an explosion-proof design, making it suitable for environments with high dust levels, flammable and explosive gases, and relatively confined spaces, such as underground mines. The traction motor 1 includes a housing, a device housed within the housing, and a junction box located outside the housing. The housing contains a water-cooling channel connected to a cooling system. The water-cooling method offers several advantages: high efficiency (high heat transfer coefficient, maintaining efficient motor operation, increasing power density to over 5kW / kg); precise temperature control (avoiding permanent magnet demagnetization and extending insulation life); compact design (high cooling efficiency, saving installation space); strong adaptability (coping with high-load conditions, stable heat dissipation); reduced noise (reducing the number of components such as fans); and convenient maintenance and long lifespan of the water-cooling system, balancing high performance and reliability. The motor has a maximum speed of 5000rpm and a maximum torque of 2600Nm, making it a high-speed, high-torque traction motor 1. The high-speed + high-torque traction motor 1 configuration can reduce its size and weight, optimize the transmission ratio, make the structure more compact, reduce the efficiency loss of the reducer 2, and improve the dynamic response sensitivity. At the same time, it reduces the amount of material used in the reducer 2 and the processing difficulty, reduces costs, improves reliability, extends service life, and reduces the heat generation of the reducer 2, simplifies the heat dissipation system, and extends the maintenance cycle.

[0024] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, the output shaft of the reducer 2 includes a front axle located on one side of the second bevel gear 26 and a rear axle located on the other side of the second bevel gear 26. The front axle drives the front axle of the mining car, and the rear axle drives the rear axle of the mining car. A condenser 3 is provided on the outer wall of the reducer 2. The oil pump 4 is connected to the condenser 3. The internal water cooling of the traction motor 1 is connected to the condenser 3 via a water pipe. The condenser 3 is connected to the cooling system. The reducer 2 has its own lubricating oil pump 4 and condenser 3, resulting in a compact system design and high cooling efficiency. A groove is provided on one side of the reducer 2's outer casing. The reducer 2 has an upper space, a middle space, and a lower space. The first gear 22, the second gear 23, the oil pump gear, and the oil pump are located in the upper space. One end of the oil pump 4 extends into the groove and is connected to an oil pipe. The front axle of the reducer 2 extends out of the groove.
