[0026] The lubricating oil is sprayed from the first gear 2 to the tooth surface of the third gear 9, and when the gears are engaged, the gears are lubricated, and the excess oil flows down and carries away the debris of the gear wear, while reducing the temperature of the tooth surface. After the oil is filtered by the filter element 1501, the gear pump 10 draws clean oil from below the filter element 1501 and pumps it into the main oil inlet hole 101 again for lubrication. The oil receiving box 15 and the box body 12 are assembled and installed, which is convenient to take down the oil receiving box 15 to replace the filter element 1501.

[0027] Since the first gear 2 and the third gear 9 are not immersed in the oil, the running resistance is very small.

[0028] In the preferred embodiment, the gear pump 10 further comprises a fourth gear 1001 and a fifth gear 1002 that are engaged with each other, the fourth gear 1001 is provided with a driving shaft 1005, and the driving shaft 1005 is connected with the second input and output shaft 14 through the coupling 11.

[0029] The power of the gear box is used as the power source of the gear pump 10, and since the gears are connected in series, the pumping speed is positively related to the running speed of the gear box, and the lubrication speed is adaptively adjusted.

[0030] In the preferred embodiment, the first input and output shaft 1 is sleeved with the first gear 2 and the second gear 3, the end surfaces of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 are tightly attached, the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 can rotate relative to each other, the end surface of the first gear 2 is provided with a first semicircular groove 201, the end surface of the second gear 3 is provided with a second semicircular groove 301, the first semicircular groove 201 and the second semicircular groove 301 are circumferentially rotated relative to each other to form a whole circular structure, the first semicircular groove 201 and the second semicircular groove 301 are provided with a top bead 7 at the aperture of the whole circular structure, the end surfaces of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 are provided with a sunken groove 802, the sunken groove 802 of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 is provided with a top ring 8 arranged symmetrically, the side of the top ring 8 away from the top bead 7 is provided with a recess 801, and the first input and output shaft 1 is provided with a main oil inlet hole 101 that is communicated with the recess 801.

[0031] Initially, the teeth of the first gear 2 and the teeth of the second gear 3 are aligned, and at this time, the first semicircular groove 201 and the second semicircular groove 301 are in a misaligned state.

[0032] When the external oil injection machine injects oil into the main oil injection hole 101 through the rotary joint, the oil or low viscosity grease enters the groove 801, lifting the top ring 8. The top ring 8 is provided with a wedge surface, and the two top rings 8 are centered and extruded to the top bead 7, extruding the top bead 7 to the orifice of the first semicircular groove 201 and the second semicircular groove 301. The diameter of the top bead 7 is slightly larger than the diameter of the whole circle structure, so that the misaligned first semicircular groove 201 and the second semicircular groove 301 are extruded to the middle, making them form a whole circle structure. At the same time, the teeth of the first gear 2 and the teeth of the second gear 3 are circumferentially staggered at an angle, until the two tooth surfaces abut against the tooth surface of the other gear.

[0033] When the other gear tooth gap is small, the misaligned teeth of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 are extruded when meshing, the angle of the teeth of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 is reduced, and the top bead 7 is extruded by the first semicircular groove 201 and the second semicircular groove 301 which are separated. When the other gear tooth gap is large, under the action of oil pressure, the top bead 7 extrudes the first semicircular groove 201 and the second semicircular groove 301 to make them close together, the angle of the teeth of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 is large, until they contact the tooth surface of the other gear again, so that they are always in a state of no gap when meshing.

[0034] In the preferred embodiment, the inside of the first gear 2 is provided with a first shaft sleeve 4, the inside of the second gear 3 is provided with a second shaft sleeve 5, the first shaft sleeve 4 and the second shaft sleeve 5 are sleeved with the first input and output shaft 1, the side wall of the first shaft sleeve 4 and the second shaft sleeve 5 is provided with a plurality of second dispersed oil holes 401 arranged circumferentially, the inner wall of the main oil injection hole 101 is provided with a plurality of first dispersed oil holes 102 along the circumference, and the outer wall of the first input and output shaft 1 is provided with an oil collecting groove 103 at the orifice of the first dispersed oil hole 102. Each second dispersed oil hole 401 communicates with the oil collecting groove 103 at one end, and communicates with the groove 801 of the top ring 8 at the other end.

[0035] The first dispersed oil hole 102 is two circles, which respectively communicates with the second dispersed oil hole 401 of the first shaft sleeve 4 and the second shaft sleeve 5.

[0036] Because it is not possible to directly drill a blind hole into the end face of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3, it is necessary to use the second dispersed oil hole 401 on the shaft sleeve as a transition to connect the main oil injection hole 101 and the groove 801 of the top ring 8.

[0037] The first gear 2 and the first shaft sleeve 4 are fixed and integrated after being sleeved, and the second gear 3 and the second shaft sleeve 5 are fixed and integrated after being sleeved.

[0038] In the preferred embodiment, the side wall of the sink 802 of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 is provided with a boring groove 302, the end face of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 is provided with a second drainage groove 304, the second drainage groove 304 is connected with the tooth root at one end, and the other end of the second drainage groove 304 and the boring groove 302 are provided with a drainage hole 303.

[0039] The lubricating oil or grease in the main oil injection hole 101 is under pressure and is gathered in the oil collecting groove 103 from the first oil dispersion hole 102, and then enters the groove 801 along the second oil dispersion hole 401. When the groove 801 is lifted, the oil or grease enters the drainage hole 303 from the boring groove 302. Since the end faces of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 are in contact, the oil or grease is sprayed from the tooth root of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 along the second drainage groove 304, and lubricates the meshing position with other gears.

[0040] In the preferred scheme, two lock nuts 6 are sleeved on the first input and output shaft 1, the first shaft sleeve 4 and the second shaft sleeve 5 are arranged between the two lock nuts 6, the lock nuts 6 are threadedly connected with the first input and output shaft 1, and the two lock nuts 6 are clamped to make the end faces of the first shaft sleeve 4 and the second shaft sleeve 5 in contact.

[0041] In the preferred scheme, the end face of the first shaft sleeve 4 is provided with an inner recess, the end face of the second shaft sleeve 5 is provided with an outer protrusion, and the inner recess and the outer protrusion are slidably sleeved.

[0042] The above-described embodiments are only preferred technical solutions of the present application, and should not be regarded as a limitation of the present application.
