Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of loader gearboxes, and in particular to an oil-blocking and air-permeable structure of a loader gearbox. Background Art
[0002] The loader gearbox is one of the core transmission components of the loader. It can change the transmission ratio and expand the torque and speed of the driving wheel. Maintaining a good and stable internal pressure of the gearbox to keep the internal and external pressure difference balanced to prevent the oil from damaging the seal and causing the gearbox to leak oil is an important condition to ensure the normal operation of the gearbox. The regulation of the internal pressure of the gearbox is completed through a breathable structure to ensure the sealing of the internal seals of the gearbox. The existing gearbox breathable structure generally adopts a breathable joint to connect an oil filter device, and then locks the breathable joint to the gearbox, and then locks a "J"-shaped oil baffle plate at the orifice of the breathable joint of the gearbox through open bolts and nuts to block the orifice of the breathable joint, thereby forming a breathable structure; the breathable structure blocks the splashing oil in the gearbox through the oil baffle, and then only allows gas molecules to pass through the external oil filter device, while liquid cannot pass from the inside, and dust cannot enter from the outside, thereby achieving the purpose of waterproof, dustproof, oil-proof and breathable. However, this breathable structure has the following defects:
[0003] 1. There are many parts to be processed, including gearbox housing, breathable joints, oil filter, oil baffle, bolts, nuts, cotter pins and other parts, which results in low production efficiency and high manufacturing cost;
[0004] 2. The ventilation structure has many assembly steps and is complicated, which reduces production efficiency. During maintenance, a variety of tools need to be prepared, which increases maintenance costs and difficulty.
[0005] 3. The filter device is installed externally.

The head of the connecting disk 12-1 has a hat shape with external threads. The round tube 12-2 is stamped into a barrel shape by a steel plate and has a rectangular opening on the side of the barrel shape; the lower end of the inner hole of the threaded head 6 locks the connecting disk 12-1 on the oil retaining tube 12, and the upper end of the inner hole of the threaded head 6 is inserted into the breathable membrane assembly 8, and the fitting surface of the upper end of the threaded head 6 where the filter plate 7 is placed is provided with 6 pentagonal breathable holes.
