The upper gearbox housing 3 and the lower gearbox housing 4 are connected by the connecting bolts 5. A sealing strip is provided between the bottom of the upper gearbox housing 3 and the top of the lower gearbox housing 4.

[0019] according to Figure 1-2 As shown, there are two upper housing lifting screw seats 1. The two upper housing lifting screw seats 1 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the gearbox upper housing 3 respectively. Setting up the upper housing lifting screw seats 1 makes it convenient for the gearbox upper housing 3 to be quickly connected to the lifting equipment after production, thus reducing the lifting time.

[0020] according to Figure 1-2 As shown, one side of the outer wall of the traction motor connecting seat 2 is welded to the outer wall of the gearbox upper housing 3. One side of the outer wall of the gearbox upper housing 3 is welded with a connecting seat that is the same shape as the upper housing lifting screw seat 1. Multiple threaded sleeves are fixedly inserted between the connecting seat and the opposite side of the upper housing lifting screw seat 1. The connecting hole on the motor and the threaded sleeve on the traction motor connecting seat 2 are aligned, and a fixing screw is driven between them to quickly fix the motor.

[0021] according to Figure 1-2 As shown, the drain plug 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the lower gearbox 4, and the oil inlet end of the drain plug 6 penetrates through the outer wall of the lower gearbox 4 and extends into the interior of the lower gearbox 4. The nameplate 7 is set on one side of the outer wall of the lower gearbox 4. When the gearbox is under maintenance, the cover in the drain plug 6 can be opened to quickly drain the lubricating oil from the lower gearbox 4, reducing the time required for manual handling.

[0022] according to Figure 1-2As shown, the oil filling plug 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the gearbox lower housing 4, and the oil outlet end of the oil filling plug 8 penetrates through the outer wall of the gearbox lower housing 4 and extends into the interior of the gearbox lower housing 4. The oil filling plug 8 can quickly inject lubricating oil into the gearbox lower housing 4, avoiding the need to disassemble the housing to complete the task.

[0023] according to Figure 1-2 As shown, the lower housing lifting screw seat 9 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lower housing 4 of the gearbox. There are two sets of stiffening plates 10, and the two sets of stiffening plates 10 are respectively distributed on the outer surface of the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 4 of the gearbox, which increases the structural strength of the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 4 of the gearbox, extends the service life of the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 4 of the gearbox, and prevents breakage.

[0024] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Move the lower gearbox 4 to the designated installation area and place the required gears in sequence according to the available space. After placement, place a sealing strip on top of the lower gearbox 4, and then cover the upper gearbox 3 with the mounting bolts 5 to form a single unit. Simultaneously, align the motor mounting holes with the threaded sleeve on the traction motor connector 2 and install fixing screws between them. After the equipment is assembled, connect the hooks on the hoisting equipment to the lifting screw seats 1 on the upper gearbox for transport. Before using the equipment, open the protective cover in the oil filler plug 8 and inject lubricating oil. After rotation testing, the equipment is installed in the user's location. When maintenance is required, the cover in the drain plug 6 is opened to quickly drain the lubricating oil. The connecting bolts 5 and screws are then removed in sequence using the above method to disassemble the equipment. The simple loading structure and convenient disassembly and assembly method facilitate quick repair of damaged internal components. At the same time, it shortens the contact distance between each gear, increases the gear rotation ratio, stabilizes the normal operation of the equipment, and uses a reasonable oil injection method to ensure that the gears are quickly lubricated, preventing insufficient lubrication that could damage the gear teeth and effectively improving the service life of the equipment.
