According to the transmission type, they can be divided into gear reducers, worm reducers and planetary gear reducers, etc. In addition, they also include various special transmission devices, such as speed increase devices, speed regulating devices and various composite transmission devices including flexible transmission devices. The product service areas involve metallurgy, coal, building materials, shipbuilding, water conservancy, electric power, engineering machinery and petrochemical industries.
[0003] Most of the existing speed reducers are sealed by installing a transparent cover and a skeleton oil seal. During the operation of the speed reducer, the skeleton oil seal is always in contact with the high-speed shaft and rotates at a relatively high speed. Therefore, high requirements are placed on the processing of the high-speed shaft and the installation of the skeleton oil seal. After long-term operation, the skeleton oil seal and the high-speed shaft will be worn to a certain extent, resulting in a reduction in the sealing effect. At this time, in order to ensure the sealing effect, the equipment can only be shut down and the oil seal and wear-resistant sleeve must be replaced, and the high-speed shaft may even need to be replaced, which will result in a large time and economic loss.
[0004] Therefore, designing a new reducer high-speed end sealing structure and solving the above problems can effectively increase the service life of the equipment and reduce maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0031] The utility model provides a technical solution: a horizontal reducer high-speed end sealing structure, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a box body 1, a transparent cover 2, a high-speed shaft 3, bolts 4, washers 5, spacers 6, bearings 7, and an oil slinger 8.
[0032] The transparent cover 2 is fastened to the housing 1 by bolts 4 and washers 5. The oil slinger 8 and the bearing 7 are installed on the high-speed shaft 3 by interference fit. The three pass through the inner hole of the housing 1 and are installed on the bearing seat of the housing 1. A spacer sleeve 6 is installed between the transparent cover 2 and the bearing 7 for axial positioning.
[0033] The housing 1 is fixed to the main frame. When the reducer is running, the housing 1, the transparent cover 2, the spacer 6 and the outer ring of the bearing 7 are stationary relative to the ground, and the high-speed shaft 3, the oil slinger 8 and the inner ring of the bearing 7 rotate.
[0034] Anaerobic sealant is applied between the box body 1 and the transparent cover 2 for end face sealing. The box body 1 and the transparent cover 2 are provided with oil grooves 9 for the lubricating oil between the transparent cover 2 and the bearing 7 to flow back into the box body. A spiral groove is machined on the high-speed shaft 3, which forms a non-contact spiral seal together with the inner surface of the transparent cover 2. The spiral form is rectangular, and the gap between the outer edge of the spiral and the inner hole of the transparent cover 2 is 0.2mm.
[0035] The oil slinger 8 is made by stamping and has a "Z" shape (in cross-sectional view). A conical flange is machined on one end face of the inner ring of the transparent cover 2, and there is a 1mm gap between the oil slinger 8 and the conical flange of the transparent cover 2.
[0036] A space A is formed between the oil slinger 8 and the spacer sleeve 6 and the bearing 7; a space B is formed between the transparent cover 2 and the spacer sleeve 6; a space C is formed between the oil slinger 8 and the transparent cover 2 and the high-speed shaft 3; a space D is formed at the lower part of the structure between the transparent cover 2 and the oil slinger 8, the spacer sleeve 6 and the bearing 7.
[0037] When the reducer is stationary, since the reducer adopts splash lubrication and the lubricating oil is not filled to the height where the high-speed shaft 3 is located, the lubricating oil will not leak through this structure.
[0038] When the reducer is working normally, the lubricating oil continuously enters space A through the gap between the rollers of bearing 7. At this time, the lubricating oil is blocked by the oil slinger 8, and due to its high-speed rotation, under the action of centrifugal force, the lubricating oil is thrown along the conical surface of the oil slinger 8 to the inner wall of space B, which is circular, and then continuously drips onto the outer wall of the inner ring of the transparent cover 2 under the action of gravity. The outer wall of the inner ring of the transparent cover 2 is designed with a conical flange, which greatly reduces the lubricating oil flowing into space C. Under the action of gravity, the lubricating oil entering space B will eventually flow into space D. Due to the high-speed rotation of the rollers of bearing 7, the lubricating oil in space D cannot flow back into the box body through the gap between the rollers very smoothly, so it accumulates in space D and forms an oil pool. When the oil pool reaches a certain height, the lubricating oil will flow back to the inside of the box body 1 from the oil groove 9 opened on the box body 1 and the transparent cover 2. The lubricating oil entering the space C, after reaching the spiral seal provided on the high-speed shaft 3, will become the sealing liquid of the spiral seal, and under the action of the spiral seal, the subsequent leakage of the lubricating oil is prevented.
[0039] The non-contact spiral seal uses the lubricating oil of the reducer as the sealing liquid. When the high-speed shaft 3 rotates, the lubricating oil filled in the spiral groove generates a pumping pressure head, and the highest pressure is generated at the spiral groove near the inside of the reducer, which is balanced with the lubricating oil pressure inside the reducer, that is, the pressure difference is 0, thereby preventing the lubricating oil from leaking out. This non-contact spiral seal can meet the sealing requirements of a maximum pressure of 2MPa and a linear speed of 30m / s for the high-speed shaft 3.
[0040] An oil groove 9 is provided on the housing 1, and an oil groove 9 is also provided at a corresponding position of the transparent cover 2. An oil return hole 10 is provided at the bottom of the oil groove 9 of the housing 1. The lowest point of the oil groove 9 is an oil level line 11, and its position determines the amount of oil stored between the bearing 7 and the transparent cover 2. The oil level line 11 is set at one-third to one-half of the roller of the bearing 7, which can not only lubricate the bearing 7, but also enhance the heat dissipation of the bearing.
[0041] The route of lubricating oil circulation between bearing 7 and transparent cover 2. When the lubricating oil between bearing 7 and transparent cover 2 exceeds the oil level line 11, the lubricating oil flows back to the inside of the box through spacer 6, oil groove 9 of transparent cover 2, oil groove 9 of box body 1, and oil return hole 10 of box body 1, completing the circulation of lubricating oil.
[0042] The above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent substitutions or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
