[0002] The reducer plays the role of matching the speed and transmitting torque between the motor and the working machine.
[0003] The use occasions of reducers are very different, all over the world, with winter and summer alternating, and a large temperature difference between day and night. In some important occasions such as underground coal mines and other special environments, the requirements for the working oil temperature of the reducer are more stringent.
[0004] Reducers generally use synthetic lubricants, using splash, oil bath or pressure forced lubrication. When starting work, the lubricant must not solidify; when running under continuous load, the maximum oil temperature must not exceed 90°C, and the oil temperature needs to be monitored in real time.
[0005] For example, on January 18, 2022, a patent with publication number CN215567793U, entitled "A patent for a reducer with a temperature monitoring module", can monitor the temperature of the equipment in real time through the temperature monitoring module; however, in the above documents, after the temperature of the reducer body working on the cooling tower exceeds the normal working temperature, it cannot be cooled by external components. The reducer body can only stop working and rely on its own heat dissipation, which is limited. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a temperature-controlled reducer to solve the problem of limited heat dissipation.

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a temperature-controlled reducer comprises a reducer body 1, wherein the reducer body 1 comprises a shell 2, a transmission pair is arranged in the shell 2, a lubricating oil 3 is arranged in the shell 2 below the transmission pair, the lubricating oil 3 infiltrates the lower part of the transmission pair, a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the lubricating oil 3 is arranged on one side of the lower part of the shell 2, the temperature sensor is connected to a control panel located outside the shell 2, an output pipe 9 for discharging the lubricating oil 3 installed on the shell 2 is arranged on one side of the temperature sensor, a motor pump 6 connected to the control panel is arranged on the output pipe 9, an air cooler 5 connected to the control panel is arranged on the shell 2, one side of the air cooler 5 is connected to the output pipe 9, and the other side of the air cooler 5 is connected to an input pipe 10 connected to the upper end of the shell 2, and the input port of the input pipe 10 communicating with the shell 2 is located at the upper part of the transmission pair.
[0023] After the reducer body 1 works, the transmission pair works. Since the lubricating oil 3 infiltrates the lower part of the transmission pair, the lubricating oil 3 flows to the transmission pair. In addition, the operation of the transmission pair is also convenient for stirring the lubricating oil 3, so that the temperature of the lubricating oil 3 in the shell 2 is relatively uniform. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the lubricating oil 3 is greater than 70°C, the motor pump 6 and the air cooler 5 are started through the control panel. The motor pump 6 completes the extraction of the high-temperature lubricating oil 3 and enters the air cooler 5 through the output pipe 9. The air cooler 5 is installed in a natural ventilation environment to take away the heat in the lubricating oil 3 through the air, and then the heat-dissipated lubricating oil 3 is input into the shell 2 through the input pipe 10. When the temperature continues to drop below 50°C, the motor pump 6 and the air cooler 5 stop running, and the reducer body 1 performs normal operation.
[0024] The control panel is connected to an alarm. When the temperature of the lubricating oil 3 in the reducer body 1 is higher than 85° C., the alarm sounds an alarm and controls the reducer body 1 to stop running.
[0025] The transmission pair includes a first rotating shaft, a large gear 4 is connected to the first rotating shaft, the lower part of the large gear 4 is immersed in the lubricating oil 3, a second gear shaft meshing and transmission connected with the large gear 4 is arranged on one side of the first rotating shaft, a small gear is arranged on the second gear shaft, and a third gear shaft transmission connected with the small gear is arranged on one side of the second gear shaft, and the first rotating shaft and the third gear shaft are respectively connected to the working machine and the motor.
[0026] The motor power is input from the shaft extension end of the third gear shaft (through the coupling) and transmitted to the third gear shaft; the third gear shaft meshes with the small gear in turn to transmit the motor power to the second gear shaft; the second gear shaft meshes with the large gear 4 to transmit the power of the second gear shaft to the first rotating shaft; the first rotating shaft then transmits the power of the first rotating shaft to the working machine through the coupling; the reducer converts the small torque and high speed of the motor into the large torque and low speed power transmission required by the working machine.
[0027] An electric heater 8 immersed in the lubricating oil 3 is arranged at the lower part of the shell 2. The electric heater 8 is connected to the control panel. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the lubricating oil 3 is lower than 10°C, the electric heater 8 is started through the control panel to heat the lubricating oil 3. When the oil temperature is continuously heated to more than 20°C, the electric heater 8 is automatically disconnected and stops heating.
[0028] When the reducer body 1 is in a low temperature environment, the temperature is lower than the solidification point of the lubricating oil 3, or the reducer body 1 is in operation and the oil temperature of the lubricating oil 3 is lower than 10°C, the viscosity of the lubricating oil 3 is about 2000cSt, the friction inside the lubricating oil 3 increases, the power loss of the reducer body 1 increases, and the use efficiency decreases. In the above two cases, the control panel sends a command signal to the electric heater 8, so that the electric heater 8 is automatically powered on, the electrical energy is converted into thermal energy, the lubricating oil 3 continues to absorb heat, and the oil temperature is continuously increased. When the temperature of the lubricating oil 3 measured by the platinum thermal resistor 7 reaches 20°C, the control panel will send a command signal to the electric heater 8, the electric heater 8 automatically cuts off the power, stops heating, and ensures the normal operation of the reducer body 1.
[0029] The control panel adopts a distributed control system, which is referred to as DCS (Distributed Control System). It is based on a microprocessor and is a new generation of instrument control system that adopts the design principles of decentralized control functions, centralized display operations, and taking into account both division and autonomy and comprehensive coordination.
[0030] The temperature sensor uses a platinum thermal resistor 7 to detect the temperature of the lubricating oil 3. The platinum thermal resistor 7 monitors the temperature of the lubricating oil 3 in the reducer body 1 in real time, and the measured signal is transmitted to the DCS, thereby realizing the detection and control of the temperature.
[0031] A guide plate 11 connected to the inner wall of the housing 2 is provided below the input port. The guide plate 11 is tilted, and the lubricating oil 3 entering the housing 2 through the input port flows toward the transmission pair under the guidance of the guide plate 11, so as to lubricate the transmission pair.
[0032] The guide plate 11 is hinged to the inner wall of the shell 2 . When the lubricating oil 3 flows onto the guide plate 11 , the guide plate 11 swings to drive the air circulation in the shell 2 , thereby accelerating the temperature uniformity of the lubricating oil 3 in the shell 2 .
[0033] The guide plate 11 is hinged to the inner wall of the shell 2 via a hinge shaft, and a torsion spring is sleeved on the hinge shaft. The two ends of the torsion spring are respectively abutted or connected to the guide plate 11 and the inner wall of the shell 2. The setting of the torsion spring facilitates increasing the frequency of the swinging of the guide plate 11, further accelerating the temperature uniformity of the lubricating oil 3 in the shell 2.
