Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shield machine cooling devices, in particular to a cooling device for a planetary reducer and a planetary reducer. Background Art

[0002] The shield machine is a special mechanical equipment used for tunnel shield construction, which is widely used in tunnel projects such as subways, railways, highways, municipal engineering, and hydropower. Among them, the main drive reducer is the core transmission component of the shield main drive system. It has the characteristics of low speed and heavy load, high power density, and high reliability. The active reducer often adopts a planetary reduction structure.

[0003] Currently, the cooling device of the planetary reduction structure of the common shield machine is mainly in the form of water cavity cooling. The existing cooling device of the water cavity cooling form requires an inner cylinder to be installed on the outer shell of the main drive mechanism, and a spiral cooling water flow cavity is set between the outer shell and the inner cylinder. Heat exchange and cooling are carried out by passing flowing cooling water into the cavity.

[0004] However, when the above cooling device is in use, since an inner cylinder needs to be added inside the outer shell, it occupies more installation space inside the outer shell, making the installation space smaller and affecting the installation of the ring gear of the planetary reduction mechanism, and increases the installation cost and manufacturing cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a cooling device for a planetary reducer and a planetary reducer, aiming to solve the problem that the cooling device of the existing shield machine active reducer occupies more space inside the shell, thus affecting the installation of the planetary reducer mechanism.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] By adopting the above scheme, when in use, the cooling medium is passed through the medium inlet into the cooling medium channel, and the heat exchange cooling of the reducer housing and the gear ring is performed by the cooling medium. Since the outer wall of the reducer housing and the gear ring jointly form the cooling medium channel, on the one hand, the overall structure of the cooling device is compact, and there is no need to set an inner cylinder to form the cooling medium channel, and the space inside the reducer housing is small; on the other hand, the cooling medium is in direct contact with the gear ring, which improves the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling medium and the gear ring.

The zigzag section extends the flow path of the cooling medium, so that the cooling medium can fully exchange heat with the reducer housing and the gear ring in contact.

[0010] The utility model is further configured that the bending section is S-shaped. Since the bending section is S-shaped, the entire bending section is more evenly distributed and is also easy to process.

The cooling medium channel is jointly enclosed by the housing body, the first convex ring, the second convex ring, the first vertical rib plate, the second vertical rib plate, the sealing plate and the gear ring to enable the cooling medium to flow between the reducer housing and the gear ring for sufficient heat exchange. The first convex ring, the second convex ring, the first vertical rib plate, the second vertical rib plate and the sealing plate all play a role in strengthening the outer shell body.

[0012] The utility model is further configured that sealing members are provided between the gear ring and the first convex ring and the second convex ring. The sealing members can enhance the sealing performance of the cooling cavity enclosed between the gear ring and the housing body.

Specifically, the arrangement of the sealing plate 7 corresponding to the zigzag section located on the left side of the second vertical rib plate 6 is as follows: the left end of the sealing plate 7 closest to the second convex ring 3 is connected to the second vertical rib plate 6, and there is a gap between the right end and the second vertical rib plate 6 for the cooling medium to pass through; the right end of the adjacent sealing plate 7 is connected to the second vertical rib plate 6, and there is a gap between the left end and the first vertical rib plate 5 for the cooling medium to pass through; the adjacent sealing plates 7 are staggered according to the above distribution method, so as to form an S-shaped flow groove, and the S-shaped flow groove and the gear ring 8 enclose the bending section of the cooling medium channel 9. With the second vertical rib plate 6 as the center, the two bending sections are symmetrically arranged, and the two bending sections are connected through the flow gap between the lower end of the first vertical rib plate 5 and the second convex ring 3. The inner sides of the housing body 1, the first convex ring 2, the second convex ring 3, the first vertical rib plate 5, the second vertical rib plate 6, the sealing plate 7 and the gear ring 8 are all in contact with the gear ring 8, and together enclose the cooling medium channel 9.

[0029] In order to enhance the sealing performance between the gear ring 8 and the housing body 1, a seal 12 is provided between the gear ring 8 and the first convex ring 2 and the second convex ring 3. The seal 12 is specifically provided as follows: a mounting groove for installing the seal 12 is provided on the outer side of the gear ring 8.

The inner sides of the first convex ring 2 and the second convex ring 3 correspond to three seals 12 provided along the circumference of the reducer housing. Correspondingly, mounting grooves corresponding to the seals 12 are provided on the outer wall of the gear ring 8. The first convex ring 2 and the second convex ring 3 clamp the corresponding seals 12 together with the gear ring 8. The seals 12 are sealing rings in the prior art. A third convex ring 4 is also provided on the inner side of the housing body 1. The third convex ring 4 is located on the upper side of the first convex ring 2. The inner diameter of the third convex ring 4 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first convex ring 2.

The cooling medium in the cooling medium channel 9 can be easily discharged by removing the plug 15. Since the speed of the end of the reducer power input is faster than that of the end of the power output, the temperature generated inside is higher, and the medium inlet 10 and the medium outlet 11 are both arranged at the end of the reducer housing close to the power input. Setting the medium inlet 10 at the end close to the power input can more effectively cool and dissipate heat. The medium inlet 10, the medium outlet 11 and the medium discharge port 14 are all arranged in the upper section of the housing body 1, so as to facilitate finding the medium inlet 10, the medium outlet 11 and the medium discharge port 14 when in use.

Among them, the cooling medium can specifically be cooling water, or other fluids with heat exchange effect. The cooling medium flows in an S shape under the guidance of the sealing plate 7, prolonging the contact time between the ring gear 8 and the housing body 1, and improving the heat exchange efficiency. The first convex ring 2, the second convex ring 3, the first vertical rib plate 5, the second vertical rib plate 6 and the sealing plate 7 all play a reinforcing role on the housing body 1.
