The first output end of the three-way valve 17 is connected to the first reducer lubricating oil inlet, and the second output end of the three-way valve 17 is connected to the bottom of the intermediate oil pan 11. The intermediate oil pan 11 is fixedly installed on the connecting flange part of the reducer 13 and is surrounded by oil pan partitions. The oil pan partitions are vertically installed on the outer periphery of the top of the connecting flange of the reducer 13. The first right lower gear, the first left lower gear 13-15, and the outer gear ring 13-17 are all located inside the oil pan partitions.

[0035] A sealing ring is installed between the top of the oil pan partition and the bottom of the rotating flange 13-18 to prevent impurities from entering the middle oil pan 11 and protect the lubricating oil.

[0036] The upper right oil pump 1-1 and the upper left oil pump 1-2 are two non-electric oil pumps.

[0037] Its working principle:

[0038] The lubricating oil is sucked from the oil tank 9 by 2 lower oil pumps 8 (one in use and one in reserve), sent to the cooler 7, and after the lubricating oil cooler cools down, a part of it enters the lubrication system of the reducer 13 through the three-way valve 17, and the other part enters the middle oil pan 11.

[0039] The lubricating oil that enters the lubrication system of the reducer 13 returns to the lubricating oil tank 9 through a pipe from the reducer lubricating oil outlet after completing lubrication.

[0040] The lubricating oil that enters the middle oil pan 11 is respectively sucked into the upper left reducer housing 13-26 and the upper right reducer housing 13-19 by the left suction pipe 10 and the right suction pipe 5. After lubricating the transmission gears and bearings, it returns to the middle oil pan 11 through the left oil return pipe 2 and the right oil return pipe 3, and flows into the lubrication system of the reducer 13 from the oil pan oil outlet, and returns to the lubricating oil tank 9 through a pipe from the reducer lubricating oil outlet after completing lubrication.

[0041] The opening design at the upper part of the middle oil pan 11 avoids the entanglement of the left suction pipe 10, the right suction pipe 5, the left oil return pipe 2, and the right oil return pipe 3 when the reducer 13 drives the stirring rotor to rotate.
