DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and not to limit the present application.

[0026] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0027] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified and limited, it should be noted that the terms "mounting", "connection" and "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection, it can be a communication between two elements, it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] The present application provides a method for adjusting the internal gap of a gear box, comprising:

[0029] Place the tooling 10 on the horizontal ground, place the installation cylinder 9 on the tooling 10, as shown in Figure 2 Heat the self-aligning roller bearing 8 and install it on the secondary planetary carrier 7, and the bearing end face must be firmly installed. Because the self-aligning roller bearing 8 needs to be baked and installed, it cannot be installed without heating.

[0030] Lift the secondary planetary carrier 7 as a whole and drop it into the installation cylinder 9. Before the secondary planetary carrier is installed on the installation cylinder 9, the planetary gear, the planetary gear shaft and the self-aligning roller bearing 8 have been installed on the secondary planetary carrier 7.

[0031] When installing the secondary planetary carrier 7 on the installation cylinder 9, the self-aligning roller bearing 8 outer ring end face must be firmly installed on the installation cylinder 9. Due to gravity, the inner and outer rings of the self-aligning roller bearing 8 are misaligned by half the axial play. The axial play of the self-aligning roller bearing before installation is 3.814mm-5.178mm, and the axial play of the self-aligning roller bearing 8 after installation is L. In the present application, the axial play of the self-aligning roller bearing after installation is generally 2.483mm-4.25mm, and L in the present application is generally considered as the average of the axial play after installation, which is 3.6mm.

[0032] The second sun gear 5, the second inner gear ring 6, the middle box body 4, and the first inner gear ring 3 are sequentially installed, and then the first planetary carrier 2 provided with the first planetary gear and the first planetary gear shaft is hoisted to the second sun gear 5, under the action of gravity, the first planetary carrier 2 falls on the second sun gear 5, and the positions of the parts are as shown in Figure 2 .

[0033] The parallel box is hoisted and falls on the first inner gear ring 3, the parallel box body and the end face of the first inner gear ring 3 abut, the plug gauge is used to measure the gap value n between the parallel box body and the first inner gear ring 3, and at this time, the gap value n is measured without installing the tool ring between the end cover 1 and the first inner gear ring 3.

[0034] The actual thickness a of the tool ring is measured by using the micrometer, the parallel box is hoisted by using the crane, the tool ring is placed between the end cover 1 and the first planetary carrier 2, the parallel box is again fallen on the first inner gear ring 3, and the gap value m between the parallel box body and the first inner gear ring is again measured by using the plug gauge, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0035] The actual value of A = a-(m-n) is calculated by the actually measured a, m, and n, and the value of A is the theoretical thickness of the position of the supporting ring installed on the end cover 1 and the first planetary carrier 2 in the state. Figure 2 After the assembly is completed, in order to control the axial gap of the gear box in a reasonable range, the general axial gap is (2±0.5) mm, the theoretical axial gap is P, and therefore the actual thickness B of the supporting ring = a-(m-n)-P-L / 2, that is, B = a-(m-n)-2-1.8 mm. Thus, the precise measurement of the axial gap can be realized, and the operation is simple, fast, time-saving and labor-saving. 2 mm is the axial gap of the gear box in the normal working state, and 2 mm is subtracted, that is, the reserved gap is 2 mm.

[0036] The gear box is normally in the state as shown in Figure 1 , that is, the gear box is horizontally placed, so that when the gap value between the parallel box body and the first inner gear ring 3 is measured, the contact between the parts may have a gap or an interference, and the measurement result has a large error. The gear box is rotated by 90° in the application, and then the measurement is performed. Since the parts are in the falling and pressing state under the action of gravity, the error is reduced.

[0037] The parallel box structure is adopted as the input transmission part in the application, the parallel gear box and the planetary gear transmission are used to transmit the torque in cooperation with each other, and the parallel shaft transmission and the planetary transmission are included. The plug gauge, the crane, and the micrometer can be used to measure various data, and the process of measuring the data is time-saving and labor-saving. In addition, the measurement accuracy of the axial gap is improved by the tool and the trial assembly method, the axial gap can be quickly and simply measured, the number of grinding and assembling is effectively reduced, and the labor of the operator is obviously reduced.

[0038] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
