Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0039] Example 1:
[0040] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a self-cleaning filtration system for lubricating oil in a rail transit gearbox, including a housing 1. An input shaft 2, an output shaft 3, and a first connecting shell 4 are mounted on the housing 1. A first gear 6 is mounted on the output shaft 3, and a second gear 7 is mounted on the input shaft 2. The first gear 6 and the second gear 7 are meshed together. A first bearing 8 and a second bearing 9 are installed inside the housing 1. The first bearing 8 supports the output shaft 3, and the second bearing 9 supports the input shaft 2. Sealing covers 5 are mounted on both the input shaft 2 and the output shaft 3. A first connecting plate 10 and a... The second connecting plate 11 and the side of the outer shell 1 are provided with a filter assembly 14. The splashed fluid will flow into the first bearing 8 and the second bearing 9 and the filter assembly 14 through the first connecting plate 10 and the second connecting plate 11. The filter assembly 14 is used to filter the lubricating oil. An adjustment assembly 16 is installed in the filter assembly 14. The bottom of the first connecting shell 4 is provided with a first through hole 13. The outer shell 1 is provided with a groove 12 and a second through hole 17. The splashed lubricating oil will enter the first through hole 13 and then flow into the second through hole 17 through the first bearing 8, so as to flow back into the outer shell 1.
[0041] Example 2:
[0042] like Figures 1-13 As shown, based on the same concept as Embodiment 1 above, this embodiment also proposes a self-cleaning filtration system for lubricating oil in rail transit gearboxes.
[0043] In the embodiment, the shell 1, the first connecting shell 4, the first connecting plate 10 and the second connecting plate 11 are fixedly connected as a whole structure, the left side of the second connecting plate 11 corresponds to the position of the filter assembly 14, the first through hole 13 and the groove 12 are both above the first bearing 8, the filter assembly 14 can filter the lubricating oil, the first through hole 13 and the second through hole 17 are in communication with each other, and after lubrication, the first through hole 13 and the second through hole 17 in communication with each other can make the lubricating oil flow back to the inside of the device.
[0044] In the embodiment, the middle of the first connecting plate 10 corresponds to the position of the first connecting shell 4, and the right side of the first connecting plate 10 corresponds to the position of the second bearing 9, so that the first connecting plate 10 can guide the lubricating oil to the position of the second bearing 9, thereby realizing the lubrication function by using the splashing fluid.
[0045] In the embodiment, the filter assembly 14 includes a second connecting shell 1401 fixedly connected to the shell 1, a protrusion 1402 is installed in the second connecting shell 1401, a first supporting block 1403 is abutted below the protrusion 1402, a first filter plate 1404, a second supporting block 1405, a second filter plate 1406 and a third supporting block 1407 are sequentially installed below the first supporting block 1403, and installation grooves 1408 are formed in the second supporting block 1405 and the third supporting block 1407. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the splashing lubricating oil will first flow into the upper first filter plate 1404 from the recessed area between the first supporting block 1403 and the second connecting shell 1401, then flow into the middle position of the lower third supporting block 1407 through the hole in the middle of the second supporting block 1405, and flow out from the middle to the outside, and the second filter plate 1406 is used to clean the impurities, and finally flows back to the inside of the shell 1 from the lower right of the second connecting shell 1401, completing a filtration.
[0046] In the embodiment, the length of the installation groove 1408 is greater than the width of the first filter plate 1404, the width of the first filter plate 1404 and the second filter plate 1406 is equal, a fixing bolt 15 is installed between the third supporting block 1407 and the second connecting shell 1401, and the second supporting block 1405 is annular. The annular structure of the second supporting block 1405 can supply lubricating oil to flow into the lower filtering area for layered filtration, and the fixing bolt 15 can be removed later to replace or clean the first filter plate 1404 and the second filter plate 1406.
[0047] In this embodiment, the adjustment component 16 includes a fixing rod 1601 fixedly connected to the second support block 1405 and the third support block 1407. A spring plate 1602 is fixedly mounted on the fixing rod 1601. A steel rope 1603 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the spring plate 1602. A cone 1604 and a cylinder 1605 are disposed inside the spring plate 1602. A pressing block 1606 is fixedly mounted on the cylinder 1605. Figures 11-13 It can be seen that the steel ropes 1603 on the upper and lower layers of spring plates 1602 are fixedly connected to the first filter plate 1404 and the second filter plate 1406, respectively. When the cone 1604 and the cylinder 1605 are not installed inside the spring plate 1602, as... Figure 12 As shown, at this time, the spring plate 1602 retracts normally, which in turn causes the steel ropes 1603 on the spring plate 1602 to pull the first filter plate 1404 or the second filter plate 1406. Each filter plate slides in the mounting groove 1408 and retracts towards the central axis of the first support block 1403, thereby narrowing the screen gap. When the conical cylinder 1604 and the cylindrical cylinder 1605 are installed inside the spring plate 1602, as... Figure 13 As shown, at this time, the spring plate 1602 expands and pushes the first filter plate 1404 or the second filter plate 1406 outward, so that the device can increase the sieve gap, thereby realizing the function of adjusting the filtration effect.
[0048] In this embodiment, the spring sheet 1602 is C-shaped. The spring sheet 1602, the cone 1604, and the cylinder 1605 are all mesh structures. The cone 1604, the cylinder 1605, and the extrusion block 1606 are fixedly connected as an integral structure. After the cone 1604 and the cylinder 1605 are installed inside the C-shaped spring sheet 1602, the extrusion block 1606 will fill the C-shaped notch of the spring sheet 1602, thereby achieving the clamping function and ensuring the stability of the filter structure.
[0049] The working method of the self-cleaning filtration system for lubricating oil in rail transit gearboxes of the present invention is as follows:
[0050] First, such as Figures 1-3 , Figures 6-13 As shown, when the input shaft 2 rotates, it drives the first gear 6 and the output shaft 3 to rotate via the second gear 7. Lubricating oil splashed from the first gear 6 flows through the first connecting plate 10 into the second connecting plate 11 on the left, then into the filter assembly 14. It then flows through the middle of the first connecting plate 10 into the groove 12, and finally into the first connecting housing 4. Lubricating oil on the right side of the first connecting plate 10 flows into the second bearing 9. The first through hole 13 in the first connecting housing 4 guides the lubricating oil to the cavity between the first bearing 8, the housing 1, the output shaft 3, and the sealing cover 5. After the first bearing 8 is lubricated, as... Figure 13 As shown, the lubricating oil will flow back into the device housing 1 through the second through hole 17.
[0051] In splash lubrication, the lubricating oil flows from the outside of the upper filter assembly 14 to the middle, and then from the middle to the periphery of the lower filter assembly 14, which is combined with Figures 3-12 As shown in the figure, the lubricating oil flows from the recessed area between the first supporting block 1403 and the second connecting shell 1401 into the first filter plate 1404 of the upper layer of the filter assembly 14, and then flows into the middle position of the third supporting block 1407 of the lower layer of the filter assembly 14 through the hole in the middle of the second supporting block 1405, and flows out from the middle to the outside, and is cleaned of impurities by the second filter plate 1406, and finally flows back to the inside of the shell 1 from the lower right of the second connecting shell 1401, completing a filtering cycle. As shown in the figure, Figures 10-13 As can be seen, the steel ropes 1603 on the upper and lower spring plates 1602 are fixedly connected with the first filter plate 1404 and the second filter plate 1406, respectively, when the conical cylinder 1604 and the cylindrical cylinder 1605 are not installed in the spring plate 1602, as shown in the figure, Figure 12 At this time, the spring plate 1602 normally contracts, and then the steel ropes 1603 on the spring plate 1602 pull the first filter plate 1404 or the second filter plate 1406, and each filter plate slides in the installation groove 1408 and contracts towards the central axis of the first supporting block 1403, thereby reducing the size of the impurity screen gap during filtering, and when the conical cylinder 1604 and the cylindrical cylinder 1605 are installed in the spring plate 1602, the spring plate 1602 expands and pushes the first filter plate 1404 or the second filter plate 1406 outward, increasing the size of the screen gap, thereby achieving the adjustment function of the filtering effect. After the conical cylinder 1604 and the cylindrical cylinder 1605 are installed in the "C"-shaped spring plate 1602, the extrusion block 1606 fills the "C"-shaped gap position of the spring plate 1602, thereby achieving the clamping function and ensuring the stability of the filtering structure.
[0052] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
