[0002] The hydraulic pump is connected with the transfer case through the main shaft spline, and the pump shaft is sealed by the oil seal. In the working process, the failure of the oil seal will cause pump leakage. Pump leakage will cause many hazards, not only will it cause the performance of the pump to decline, but also will cause the hydraulic oil to directly leak into the transfer case, polluting the gear oil. If it cannot be eliminated early, pump leakage will become more and more serious, eventually leading to the damage of the pump and even the repair of the entire machine. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly detect pump leakage, and repair it in time in the early stage of leakage.
[0003] At present, the transfer case for mining cannot detect pump leakage. Due to the lack of daily detection, only when pump failure is found can the cause of the failure be investigated by disassembling the pump. Only after the hydraulic pump is disassembled can it be observed whether the oil seal is damaged.

[0022] The exemplary embodiments of this application are described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings, which include various details of the embodiments of this application to assist in understanding them. These should be considered in their context only. Thus, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize the various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein, without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. Also, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, the description below omits the description of well-known functions and structures.
[0023] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the transfer case with pump leakage detection function of the present application comprises a case body and a pump seat installed on the case body, the inner periphery of the pump seat forms a lubricating cavity, the pump seat is radially provided with an oil inlet channel, a detection channel, an oil leakage channel and an oil discharge channel, one end of the oil inlet channel forms an oil inlet 1 and is connected to an oil source, the other end penetrates into the lubricating cavity, one end of the detection channel forms a detection port 2, the other end penetrates into the lubricating cavity, one end of the oil leakage channel forms an oil leakage port, the other end penetrates into the lubricating cavity, one end of the oil discharge channel forms an oil discharge port 6, the other end penetrates into the lubricating cavity, the pump seat is further provided with a control counterbore 3, the control counterbore 3 intersects with the oil leakage channel, the pump seat has a lubricating mode and a detection mode, when the pump seat is in the lubricating mode, a first plugging member 4 is arranged at the control counterbore 3, the oil leakage channel is in an open state, and the oil inlet channel is in an open state; when the pump seat is in the detection mode, the detection channel is in an open state, a second plugging member 5 is arranged at the control counterbore 3, the second plugging member 5 is plugged on the oil leakage channel, the oil leakage channel is in a plugged state, and the oil inlet channel is in a plugged state.
[0024] In the present embodiment, the oil leakage channel is perpendicular to the control counterbore, but in other embodiments, the control counterbore can intersect with the oil leakage channel at other angles, as long as the second plugging member can plug the oil leakage channel when inserted into the control counterbore.
[0025] More specifically, a control switch is arranged between the oil inlet 1 and the oil source, when the control switch is in an open state, the oil inlet channel is in an open state; when the control switch is in a closed state, the oil inlet channel is in a plugged state; the oil inlet channel is vertically arranged at the upper end of the pump seat, and the oil discharge channel is vertically arranged at the lower end of the pump seat; the pump seat is provided with a receiving hole, when the first plugging member 4 is located in the control counterbore 3, the second plugging member 5 is placed in the receiving hole; when the second plugging member 5 is located in the control counterbore 3, the first plugging member 4 is placed in the receiving hole; the included angle between the detection channel and the oil inlet channel is 15°, and the included angle between the oil leakage channel and the oil inlet channel is 60°; the end of the oil inlet channel close to the lubricating cavity has a throttle hole with a reduced inner diameter, the inner diameter of the throttle hole is 2mm; when the pump seat is in the lubricating mode, a plug is arranged at the detection port 2; the first plugging member 4 and the second plugging member 5 are sealing screws with different lengths; the inner diameters of the oil inlet channel, the detection channel, the oil leakage channel and the oil discharge channel are all 12mm.
[0026] In other embodiments, the included angle between the detection channel and the oil inlet channel can be controlled to be in the range of 10°-45°, and the included angle between the oil leakage channel and the oil inlet channel can be controlled to be in the range of 45°-80°, the purpose is to ensure that the height of the oil leakage port not only ensures the oil level height in the lubricating cavity, but also does not waste too much oil, and the detection port needs to be higher than the oil leakage port, and the opening positions of the detection channel and the oil inlet channel need to ensure the strength of the pump seat, and the opening positions of the detection channel and the oil leakage channel need to ensure the strength of the pump seat.
[0027] Further, when the pump is installed, the lubricating cavity is a closed cavity formed between the pump mounting surface and the pump seat. In the normal lubrication mode, the control switch between the oil inlet channel and the lubricating oil source is in the open state, the lubricating oil enters the lubricating cavity through the oil inlet channel, and the main shaft spline is lubricated, and when the oil level of the lubricating oil reaches the oil drain port, the lubricating oil is drained from the oil drain port to the box, which not only ensures the lubrication effect of the main shaft spline, but also keeps the pressure in the lubricating cavity at the same level; when the pump leakage needs to be detected, the control switch is closed, and the first sealing member 4 is replaced with the second sealing member 5, that is, the oil drain channel is sealed, at this time, the pump is kept working, and when the pump shaft oil seal leaks, the oil level in the lubricating cavity will continue to rise, and finally flow out from the detection port 2. After judging that the pump leaks, the pump can be disassembled for maintenance, and the oil in the lubricating cavity can be discharged through the oil drain channel before disassembly. In addition, by the time of the oil flowing out from the detection port 2, the degree of pump leakage can be inferred. If the leakage is serious, the gear oil in the transfer case will be contaminated, and the gear oil in the case needs to be replaced in time to avoid affecting the service life of the gears and bearings.
[0028] In addition, in the lubrication mode, the detection port 2 and the oil drain port 6 are provided with sealing plugs.
[0029] As shown in Figure 2 The box body is provided with four pump seats, all of which adopt the pump seat structure with the above-mentioned detection and lubrication functions, and the structure of each pump seat can refer to the structure shown in the embodiment, which will not be described here.
[0030] The above-mentioned detection function is easy to operate, can quickly eliminate pump leakage faults, and is suitable for daily detection.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the design scheme of the transfer case and the pump seat of the present application can simultaneously have the functions of pump shaft oil seal leakage detection and pump shaft spline lubrication, and can conveniently and quickly check whether the pump leaks without disassembling the pump, thereby saving manpower and time cost; thereby the transfer case can be regularly detected, the pump leakage can be found and repaired in time in the early stage, and greater loss can be effectively avoided.
[0032] The above specific embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made depending on design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
