Abstract

This invention discloses a minimally invasive oral-style repair method for transmission gears, relating to the technical field of diesel locomotive driver controllers. First, the worn area of ​​the gear is ground down using a file. Next, a welding rod is welded to the ground worn area using gas welding. Then, rough machining is performed using a file to remove the weld beads left after welding. After pre-grinding, a milling cutter is used to machine the welded area on a milling machine. Finally, the milled area is finely machined using a file. The diameter and meshing clearance of the repaired gear are measured to determine if the repair is satisfactory. The repaired gear undergoes heat treatment, employing a low-cost repair method. By manually repairing the worn area of ​​the transmission gear using a minimally invasive oral-style repair method, the performance of the component is ensured to meet technical requirements. This reduces maintenance costs to 150 yuan per unit, ensuring the reliability and economy of the HXN5 diesel locomotive driver controller maintenance process.

[0002] The HXN5 diesel locomotive driver controller (model 17KC120) is composed of components supplied by Germany and the United States and manufactured by Schalteborg GmbH in Germany. This driver controller lacks both technical support and spare parts supply for my country's locomotive maintenance system, leading to numerous limitations and technical barriers. Furthermore, the lack of necessary maintenance equipment and tooling significantly increases the difficulty of independent maintenance.

[0003] The traditional method involves replacing the entire gear assembly with a new one, requiring gear group positioning and coaxial positioning between the transmission rod and the gears. This method is costly and technically challenging. Furthermore, the transmission mechanism between the traction, braking, and drive gears in the driver controller involves linear motion (non-circular motion) via an eccentric shaft. Directly replacing the gears necessitates gear group positioning and coaxial positioning between the transmission rod and the gears. Currently, there is no relevant technical documentation in my country, creating a technical barrier, making the process difficult and expensive (approximately 48,000 RMB per unit).

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a maintenance method for driver controllers. Summary of the Invention
