[0002] Wheeled excavators are flexible and easy to transfer, with high moving speed and adaptability, and are very suitable for working environments that require frequent moving tasks. The drive axle is the main component of the wheeled excavator chassis transmission, so the drive axle used for wheeled excavators is an important engineering component. In the existing drive axles for wheeled excavators, there are disadvantages such as small load bearing, low transmission efficiency, small output torque and small braking torque, which affect the driving performance and safety performance of the excavator. There are many kinds of wet brake steering drive axles for large tonnage excavators on the market, but there are still some disadvantages;

[0003] For example, in actual use, the wet brake steering drive axle generally used for large-tonnage excavators is responsible for outputting power to the outside through the drive axle. Generally, the drive axle gear set is a traditional tapered spiral bevel gear, which has the characteristics of low efficiency, high noise and low strength during operation. At the same time, the hydraulic oil brake half-shaft provides a large braking force for the drive axle. However, the half-shaft will wear out more after long-term use, which will cause the service life to be reduced. In addition, the steering rod of the general drive axle is not adjustable with the cylinder and the steering knuckle, and cannot meet the movement requirements in the steering movement. Therefore, we propose a wet brake steering drive axle for large-tonnage excavators to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a wet brake steering drive axle for large-tonnage excavators, including: an input shaft 1, a main reduction assembly 2, a steering knuckle 3, a sound-absorbing cotton 4, a buckle 5, a differential assembly 6, a wet brake assembly 7, an oil cylinder 8, a steering tie rod 9, a bridge housing assembly 10, a half shaft 11, an oil pipe 12, an oil outlet hole 13, a valve 14, an oil box 15, a heating wire 16, a pipeline 17, an oil inlet 18, a wheel hub 19, a sun gear 20, and a wheel-side reducer 21;

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the steering drive axle body is formed by the input shaft 1, the half shaft 11 and the wheel hub 19. The first stage reducer and the second stage reducer are respectively arranged between the input shaft 1, the half shaft 11 and the wheel hub 19. The second stage reducer is set as a planetary gear reducer and is arranged between the half shaft 11 and the wheel hub 19. Due to the design of the drive axle body, the first stage reducer and the second stage reducer, the rotation ratio of the input shaft 1 and the wheel hub 19 is increased through the two-stage reduction of the first stage reducer and the second stage reducer, and the rotation speed of the wheel hub 19 is reduced, thereby reducing the driving speed and increasing the output torque. The first stage reducer is set as the main reduction assembly 2, and the second stage reducer is set as the wheel side reducer 2 1. The drive axle body is configured to further include a three-section axle housing assembly 10 and a steering knuckle 3.

The input shaft 1 is configured to be connected to the half shafts 11 through the differential assembly 6. The end portion of the half shaft 11 is connected to the wheel side reducer 21, and the wheel side reducer 21 is configured to be connected to the wheel hub 19. The wheel hub 19 is rotatably connected to the steering knuckle 3 through a bearing, and the steering knuckle 3 is connected to the axle housing assembly 10. Secondly, one end of the half shaft 11 is processed into a sun gear 20, and the connection structure between the sun gear 20 and the half shaft 11 in the traditional drive axle is cancelled, thereby reducing the volume of the sun gear 20 and making the wheel side structure more compact.

[0027] The main reducer assembly 2 is designed as a gear set driven by an equal-height spiral bevel gear, which has the characteristics of high strength, low noise and high efficiency compared with the traditional tapered spiral bevel gear. At the same time, sound-absorbing cotton 4 is installed on the upper and lower sides of the left side of the main reducer assembly 2, and a buckle 5 is arranged on the outside of the sound-absorbing cotton 4. The buckle 5 is engaged with the inner wall of the driving wheel. The setting of the sound-absorbing cotton 4 can also help the main reducer assembly 2 reduce noise;

The hydraulic oil is passed into the brake half shaft 11 to obtain a large braking force. The setting of the wet brake assembly 7 can prevent the entry of external mud and dust, avoid the influence of harsh environment, have large braking force, long service life, and stable braking effect. The half shaft 11 will wear out greatly after long-term use, that is, an oil pipe 12 is set in the middle of the half shaft 11, and an oil outlet hole 13 is opened inside the oil pipe 12, and the rear side of the oil pipe 12 is connected to the oil box 15, and the oil box 15 has stored lubricating oil inside. At the same time, the inner wall of the oil box 15 is provided with a heating wire 16 to heat the electric The hot wire 16 is opened to accelerate the circulation of the lubricating oil in the oil box 15.

An oil inlet 18 is arranged at the rear end of the pipe 17. The oil inlet 18 is fixed by bolts. The lubricating oil can be transported from the oil inlet 18 to the inside of the oil box 15 through the connection of the pipe 17 by unscrewing the bolts. The lubricating oil drips into the inside of the half shaft 11 through the oil outlet 13 arranged inside the oil pipe 12, so that the half shaft 11 can better provide stable power for the drive axle, and at the same time greatly prolong the service life of the half shaft 11.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the oil cylinder 8 and the steering knuckle 3 are connected by the steering tie rod 9. The two ends of the steering tie rod 9 are designed with ball pins, which can be rotated at any angle within a certain range to meet the movement requirements during the steering process. The working route is as follows: the main engine power torque is transmitted from the input flange, and after being decelerated and differentially driven by the main reduction assembly 2, the power is transmitted to the wheel side reducer 21 through the half shaft 11. After being decelerated by the wheel side reducer 21, the power is finally transmitted to the wheel hub 19, thereby driving the tire to roll forward.
