[0031] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementations, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0032] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only used to schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present invention, and thus the illustrations only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 An embodiment of the utility model provides an oil temperature detection component, which includes a straight shaft 1, a planetary gear and a half-shaft gear. The planetary gears are respectively matched with the half-shaft gears and the straight shaft 1. The oil temperature detection component also includes a locking structure and a temperature sensor. The locking structure and the half-shaft gear cooperate with each other to lock the half-shaft gear; the temperature sensor is installed at the matching position of the straight shaft 1 and the planetary gear.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that the oil temperature detection component can simulate the working condition of one side of the wheel locking through the locking structure, and calculate the differential working condition through the torque and speed input at the input end. At the same time, the temperature of the lower shaft 1 and the planetary gear under the differential working condition can be obtained through the position arrangement of the temperature sensor, which can then be used to guide the design of the differential.

[0036] It is also worth noting that the temperature sensor in this embodiment can be a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) temperature sensor, which is characterized by a decrease in resistance as the temperature increases and an increase in resistance as the temperature decreases, and has the advantages of fast response, high accuracy, and low cost. Depending on the specific implementation environment, other types of temperature sensors may also be used, and this embodiment does not constitute a limitation on the type of sensor, but is merely an example thereof.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the oil temperature detection component also includes a shell 3, which has an assembly through hole along its own axial direction. The locking structure includes a locking tool 4 and a locking bolt 5. The locking tool 4 is arranged in the assembly through hole and cooperates with the half-shaft gear. The locking bolt 5 is sequentially passed through the shell 3 and the locking tool 4 to lock the locking tool 4.

[0038] It is worth noting that the oil temperature detection component cooperates with the half-shaft gear through the locking fixture 4, and the locking bolt 5 is inserted through the housing 3 and the locking fixture 4, so as to realize the axial locking of the locking fixture 4, thereby being able to well simulate the working condition of one side being locked. In addition, the housing 3 is provided with an assembly through hole along its own axial direction, so that the locking fixture 4 can be conveniently installed in the assembly through hole, which simplifies the assembly process of the component and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, the assembly through hole is a countersunk hole, and the locking fixture 4 has a large diameter end and a small diameter end that are mutually adapted to the countersunk hole, and the small diameter end has an external spline that is interconnected with the half-shaft gear.

[0040] It is worth noting that by designing the assembly through hole as a countersunk hole, and making the locking fixture 4 have a large diameter end and a small diameter end that are mutually compatible with the countersunk hole, and the small diameter end has an external spline that is interconnected with the half-shaft gear, a tighter and more stable assembly is achieved. The design of the countersunk hole allows the locking fixture 4 to be completely embedded in the shell 3, thereby reducing the external resistance generated during operation and ensuring the stability and tightness of the assembly. At the same time, the large diameter end and the small diameter end of the locking fixture 4 match the design of the countersunk hole, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the assembly process and reducing the possibility of assembly errors. The external spline at the small diameter end is interconnected with the half-shaft gear, which further enhances the firmness and stability of the connection.

[0041] Please refer again Figure 1 The oil temperature detection component also includes a Bluetooth transmitter 9, which is electrically connected to the temperature sensor. It can be understood that by electrically connecting the Bluetooth transmitter 9 to the temperature sensor, a data transmission function is realized. This design enables the temperature sensor to transmit the collected temperature data to an external device via Bluetooth technology in real time, thereby facilitating the measurement and recording of the actual temperature.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The oil temperature detection component also includes a connecting rod 6, a bearing 7 and a bearing seat 2. One end of the connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the straight shaft 1, and the other end of the connecting rod 6 is sleeved with a bearing 7. The bearing 7 is installed in the bearing seat 2, and the bearing seat 2 is interference fit in the housing 3.

[0043] It is worth noting that the connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the straight shaft 1 at one end, and a bearing 7 is sleeved on the other end, which ensures the stable connection between the connecting rod 6 and the straight shaft 1 and provides axial support, so that the straight shaft 1 can rotate stably. At the same time, the bearing 7 is installed in the bearing seat 2, and the bearing seat 2 is fixed to the housing 3 by interference fit, providing additional support and stability, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the transmission system.

[0044] Please refer again Figure 5 and Figure 6 The connecting rod 6 has a center hole (not marked in the figure), the wiring harness of the temperature sensor is passed through the center hole, and the wiring harness is connected to the Bluetooth transmitter 9.

[0045] It is worth noting that the connecting rod 6 has a central hole, so that the wiring harness of the temperature sensor can pass through the central hole. This design optimizes the use of space, embeds the wiring harness inside the connecting rod 6, reduces the exposure of the external wiring harness, and improves the neatness and compactness of the assembly. In addition, the wiring harness is passed through the central hole of the connecting rod 6, which can effectively protect the wiring harness from damage by the external environment, such as friction, extrusion, etc., thereby helping to extend the service life of the wiring harness and reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0046] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 6 is threadedly connected to the straight shaft 1, and the direction of the thread engagement is opposite to the rotation direction of the straight shaft 1. It can be understood that the installation of the connecting rod 6 and the straight shaft 1 through the reverse thread connection can prevent the connecting rod 6 from falling off when the reducer rotates forward.

[0047] In this embodiment, the base of the Bluetooth transmitter head 9 is a wedge-shaped block, which is embedded in the wedge-shaped block by positioning bolts, and the Bluetooth transmitter head 9 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6.

[0048] It is worth noting that the connection structure can improve the firmness and stability after the connection, and the wedge-shaped block design makes the installation process of the Bluetooth transmitter head 9 easier.

[0049] In this embodiment, a clamping spring 8 is further provided on the circumference of the connecting rod 6. It is understandable that the clamping spring 8 provided on the circumference of the connecting rod 6 can provide axial pressure to limit the axial movement or movement of the connecting rod 6 during operation, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection and preventing the connection from loosening or falling off due to vibration or load changes.

[0050] In this embodiment, a groove (not shown in the figure) is provided at the joint of the straight shaft 1 and the planetary gear, and the temperature sensor is installed in the groove. It can be understood that the provision of the groove can ensure accurate temperature detection while effectively utilizing space and improving the space utilization rate of the component.

[0051] This embodiment also provides a reducer, including the above-mentioned oil temperature detection component, having all its beneficial effects.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 7 This embodiment also provides an oil temperature detection component, which has the same structure except for the connection structure between the straight shaft 1 and the connecting rod 6, and will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In this embodiment, the straight shaft 1 has an axial hole 12, a connecting rod 6 is passed through the axial hole 12, and the connecting rod 6 has an internal thread; a fixing bolt 13 passes through the axial hole 12 and engages with the internal thread, so that the connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the straight shaft 1, and the entrance of the center hole is located on the side of the connecting rod 6.

[0055] It is worth noting that the connection structure provides a stable connection, simplifies the assembly process, improves the connection strength and optimizes the installation position. Compared with the solution in Example 1, there is no need to limit the rotation direction of the straight shaft 1 during the test process.

[0056] Example 3

[0057] Please refer to Figure 8 This embodiment also provides an oil temperature detection component, which has the same structure except for the structure of the connecting rod 6, and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 6 includes a plurality of split rods 10, with a boss or a positioning ring 11 between two adjacent split rods 10, the free end of the tail split rod 10 is fixedly connected to the straight shaft 1, and the free end of the first split rod 10 is sleeved with a bearing 7.

[0059] It is worth noting that the connecting rod 6 design using a multi-section split rod 10 is flexible and adjustable, easy to install and maintain, and enhances the stability and reliability of the connection. The length of the connecting rod 6 can be adjusted according to specific needs and installation space limitations to adapt to different application scenarios and requirements.
