Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transmission devices, in particular to a gearbox for an internal combustion locomotive. Background Art
[0002] A diesel locomotive is a locomotive that uses an internal combustion engine (mainly a diesel engine) as the motive force and drives the wheels through a transmission device. This type of locomotive is equipped with a hydrostatic pump and a cooling fan. The high-pressure oil generated by the hydrostatic pump drives the cooling fan to rotate, and the operation and stop of the cooling fan are automatically controlled by the control of the hydrostatic system temperature control valve, safety valve and other components. This type of locomotive is also equipped with a ventilator for discharging the oil and gas fumes from the diesel engine power room out of the vehicle or for cooling the traction motor. When the hydrostatic pump and ventilator are in operation, the required speed cannot be directly matched with the output end of the diesel engine, which requires a transfer transmission device to achieve this.

Therefore, the transmission ratio of the existing gearbox does not match the above locomotive, and the split speed change cannot be achieved. In addition, its two hydrostatic pump connecting shafts cannot be connected to the ventilator, and the installation structure does not match the above locomotive. There are also disadvantages such as high noise and vibration and low transmission efficiency. Utility Model Content
