The left bearing cavity 2 is connected to the right bearing cavity through a special-shaped oil receiving plate 6. The special-shaped oil receiving plate 6 spans the top of the housing 1. The special-shaped oil receiving plate 6 is used to collect the lubricating oil splashed from the gearbox cavity 8 when the gears are running. The collected lubricating oil flows back to the left bearing cavity 2 and the right bearing cavity 3 through the left oil tank 4 and the right oil tank 5 respectively. The connecting channel between the left oil tank 4 and the left bearing cavity 2 is located at the inner end of the bearing, located at the bearing The lubricating oil at the inner end of the chamber will directly act on the bearing, and then flow into the box body 1 from the gap of the bearing, circulate back and forth, thereby increasing the lubrication effect and reducing the working temperature of the bearing. A through hole 7 is provided on the front side of the special-shaped oil receiving plate 6, and the through hole 7 is used to collect the splashed lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil is collected above the special-shaped oil receiving plate 6; the connection between the left oil bin and the left bearing cavity is located at the leftmost side of the left bearing cavity, and the connection between the right bearing cavity and the right oil bin is located at the rightmost side of the right bearing cavity, so that the lubricating oil in the left oil bin and the right oil bin directly acts on the outside of the bearing during the falling process, and then seeps inward through the roller gap of the bearing outside the bearing, so that the bearing is fully lubricated.

[0027] The special-shaped oil receiving plate 6 is a V-shaped or U-shaped structure as a whole. The special-shaped oil receiving plate 6 and the inner wall of the box body 1 form a downwardly recessed inner cavity 8. The inner cavity 8 can increase the storage amount of lubricating oil. The two ends of the inner cavity 8 are connected to the left oil tank 4 and the right oil tank 5 through connecting holes, so that the splashed lubricating oil can flow back to the left oil tank 4 and the right oil tank 5.

[0028] There are two bearing holes in the left bearing cavity 2 and the right bearing cavity 3, and the groove depths of the two bearing holes are different.
