Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gearboxes, and in particular to a gear locking transmission mechanism for an excavator gearbox. Background Art

[0002] The excavator gearbox is a mechanism used by the excavator to change the speed and torque from the engine. It can change the transmission ratio of the output shaft and the input shaft in a fixed or shifted manner. The transmission includes multiple planetary gear sets, multiple meshing gears and shifting elements, etc. Different speed outputs can be flexibly obtained by engaging or disengaging different shifting elements (for example, clutches or brakes, etc.).

Since the locking process needs to bear a large torque and impact force, the teeth are prone to wear and deformation, which affects the service life of the gear. High-quality gears are required, which increases production costs. Most of the existing transmission gears are locked by electromagnetic adsorption. This method is fast and accurate, but it is prone to friction between the electromagnetic adsorption parts, which reduces the electromagnetic adsorption effect. Summary of the invention

[0032] The locking member 255 includes a gear 2551 meshingly arranged at the inner teeth of the gear ring 254; an empty ring 2552 is welded and fixed at the center through hole of the gear 2551; an oil groove 2553 with a diversion function is arranged inside the empty ring 2552; the inner ring wall of the empty ring 2552 is provided with ten groups of open grooves distributed in an annular shape, and a protrusion 2554 is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the open groove. Embodiment 2:

[0033] See also Figure 1 to Figure 8 Compared with the first embodiment, the present invention is a gear locking transmission mechanism for an excavator gearbox, and the present embodiment further includes: a guide assembly 26; the guide assembly 26 includes a grooved ring 261 rotatably arranged on the outer ring side of the empty ring 2552; a pressing ring 262 with a pressing and limiting function is fixedly installed at the front end of the grooved ring 261 by bolts; a gasket 263 is rotatably arranged at the rear end of the grooved ring 261; a sealing ring 264 is rotatably arranged on the inner groove wall of the grooved ring 261; and a pressure valve 265 is threadedly installed on the top screw groove of the grooved ring 261.

[0034] Based on the above, the working principle of the gear locking transmission mechanism for an excavator gearbox is:

[0035] When using the device, first connect the device to an external power source, and connect the pressure valve 265 to the hydraulic oil source through an external pipeline, so as to provide the device with the power and pressure control required for operation;

[0036] First, the hydraulic oil is introduced into the annular groove inside the grooved ring 261 through the externally connected pipeline through the pressure valve 265, and enters the oil groove 2553 through the oil hole, thereby increasing the internal pressure of the oil groove 2553 and pushing the protrusion 2554 on the inner ring side of the empty ring 2552 to float out of the empty ring 2552. Here, the empty ring 2552 and the groove on the second slot shaft 23 are engaged in a positioning action, thereby connecting the second slot shaft 23 and the gear 2551. Here, the gear 2551 drives the cast iron ring 253 and the gear ring 254 to rotate on the inner ring side of the coil ring 252. Here, the permanent magnetic particles on the inner ring side of the coil ring 252 are adsorbed on the inner ring groove of the coil ring 252 due to the magnetic field, thereby reducing the friction between the coil ring 252 and the cast iron ring 253.

[0037] When the locking action is performed, the external controller sends a command to the current output controller provided on the articulated frame 251, so that the current output controller works to control the magnetic coupling and the coil ring 252 at the right end of the transmission shaft 21 respectively;

[0038] Due to the output of the current output controller circuit, when the locking action is executed, the current output controller stops supplying energy to the magnetic coupling at the right end of the transmission shaft 21, and the current output controller turns to supply energy to the coil ring 252. The coil ring 252 is energized to generate a magnetic field. The permanent magnetic particles on the shell of the coil ring 252 are pushed by the magnetic field and float out of the groove of the outer shell of the coil ring 252. Here, the shell of the coil ring 252 forms a circle of protrusions, and forms a large friction with the protrusions on the surface of the cast iron ring 253.

[0039] At the same time, under the action of the strong magnetic field, a rapid braking and adsorption fixing state is formed between the coil ring 252 and the cast iron ring 253, and the cast iron ring 253 can lock the gear 2551 with the cooperation of the gear ring 254, and then the protrusion 2554 in the guide component 26 and the groove on the second slot shaft 23 are used to perform a locking action to quickly lock the transmission shaft 21 and the relay shaft on the front side of the gearbox 1, and the multiple sets of gears inside the gearbox 1 are locked through the relay shaft on the front side of the gearbox 1.

[0040] The present invention provides a gear locking transmission mechanism for an excavator gearbox through improvement. By setting an adsorption component 25, multi-tooth meshing transmission of a gear 2551 and a gear ring 254 is realized to share the larger torque during locking, thereby reducing the strength requirements of the gear 2551 and the gear ring 254, and also improving the service life of the gear 2551 and the gear ring 254. A groove on the surface of the coil ring 252 and permanent magnetic particles inside the groove are provided to improve the friction effect between the coil ring 252 and the cast iron ring 253, thereby improving the locking instantaneous stop effect. A guide component 26 is provided to utilize hydraulic pressure to switch the locking and unlocking states between the first slot shaft 22 and the gear 2551, so as to avoid friction and wear of the electromagnetic adsorption component during the unlocking process.
