Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transmission boxes, and more specifically to a long-life automobile reducer housing. Background Art

[0002] Reducers are generally used for low-speed and high-torque transmission equipment. For automobiles, the power of the high-speed internal combustion engine is reduced by meshing the gear with a small number of teeth on the input shaft of the reducer with the large gear on the output shaft.

[0003] The reducer mainly includes a reducer housing and several transmission structures arranged in the housing for reducing speed, such as a gear transmission structure, a worm transmission structure, a gear-worm transmission structure, etc.

[0004] The reducer housing in some existing automobiles is mainly composed of a lower housing and an upper housing. For example, the reducer housing in an automobile reducer disclosed in the Chinese patent with the announcement number CN204153105U is composed of a reducer housing seat and a reducer housing cover installed on the reducer housing seat. A space for accommodating the transmission structure is formed between the lower housing and the upper housing.

[0005] When the reducer is working, lubricating oil and other oils need to be added. During the operation of the reducer, due to the frictional heat of the kinematic pair and the influence of the ambient temperature, the temperature inside the reducer housing rises, the pressure gradually increases, and the oil easily flows out from the housing through the assembly surface between the lower housing and the upper housing. When the oil flows out to the screw used to fix the lower housing and the upper housing, it is easy to cause erosion to the connection structure and affect the service life. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to address the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a long-life automobile reducer housing, which forms a flow-blocking structure to hinder the flow of oil from the housing to the screw assembly, so as to solve the problem that when the reducer using the housing is working, the oil easily flows to the connecting screw, causing the connecting structure of the upper and lower housings to be corroded, thereby affecting the service life of the housing.

[0011] Between the accommodating cavity and the screw assembly, the upper end surface of the support portion is provided with: a liquid containing groove with the notch facing upward, and a flow blocking portion protruding upward;

[0012] The flow blocking part is inserted upward into the inserting groove of the overlapping part.

[0013] As a further preferred solution, the lower housing is provided with: an oil guide hole extending obliquely;

[0014] The upper end of the oil guide hole extends to the bottom of the liquid containing groove, and the lower end extends to the side wall of the containing cavity, so that: the oil guide hole can guide the oil in the liquid containing groove back to the containing cavity.

[0015] As a further preferred embodiment, the oil guide hole is a straight hole extending obliquely.

[0016] As a further preferred solution, the diameter of the oil guide hole gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0017] As a further preferred solution, the outer edge of the upper end of the blocking portion is chamfered to form a first guiding surface for guiding the blocking portion to be inserted upward into the insertion groove.

[0018] As a further preferred solution, the notch at the lower end of the insertion slot is chamfered to form a second guiding surface for guiding the flow blocking portion to be inserted upward into the insertion slot.

[0019] As a further preferred solution, the upper end of the flow blocking portion is spaced apart from the wall of the insertion slot;

[0034] The present invention is specifically described below with reference to the embodiments:

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] A long-life automobile reducer housing, as shown in the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 3 As shown, it includes a lower shell 1 and an upper shell 2 placed on the lower shell 1; wherein the lower shell 1 is provided with a first groove a1 with a groove facing upward, and the upper shell 2 is provided with a second groove a2 with a groove facing downward. Figure 1 When the upper housing 2 is placed on the lower housing 1, the first groove a1 is connected to the second groove a2, so that a receiving cavity a for receiving the transmission structure is formed between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1. The transmission structure is a gear or a worm or a gear and a worm arranged according to the deceleration requirements.

[0037] After the upper shell 2 is placed on the lower shell 1 , the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 1 are fixedly connected by a screw assembly 3 to assemble and form a reducer housing.

[0038] Specifically, the outer edge of the upper shell 2 is convexly provided with a lap portion 2.1, and the outer edge of the lower shell 1 is convexly provided with a support portion 1.1, and the lap portion 2.1 and the support portion 1.1 are arranged in a matching manner. When the upper shell 2 is placed on the lower shell 1, the lap portion 2.1 is lapped downward on the support portion 1.1, and the lap portion 2.1 and the support portion 1.1 are fixedly connected by the screw assembly 3, so that the upper shell 2 is fixedly connected to the lower shell 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, the screw assembly 3 includes a connecting screw 3.1 and a fastening nut 3.2. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the threaded end of the connecting screw 3.1 passes through the overlapping part 2.1 and the supporting part 1.1 from top to bottom in sequence, and then is screwed with the fastening nut 3.2. By tightening the fastening nut 3.2 upward, the nut of the connecting screw 3.1 and the fastening nut 3.2 can clamp and fasten the overlapping part 2.1 and the supporting part 1.1 together.

[0040] At this time, when the transmission structure is installed in the reducer housing, that is, the accommodating chamber a, and the transmission structure is in operation, the oil in the accommodating chamber a easily flows to the screw assembly 3 through the gap between the overlapping portion 2.1 and the supporting portion 1.1, corroding the screw assembly 3 and affecting the service life of the housing.

[0041] Based on this, in this embodiment, a flow-blocking structure is formed to prevent the oil from flowing from the housing to the screw assembly, so as to solve the problem that when the reducer using the housing is working, the oil easily flows to the connecting screw, causing the connecting structure of the upper and lower housings to be corroded, thereby affecting the service life of the housing. The service life of the housing can be extended.

[0042] Specifically, as attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, between the accommodating chamber a and the screw assembly 3, the upper end surface of the support portion 1.1 is provided with: a liquid containing groove 1.2 with a notch facing upward, and a flow blocking portion 1.3 protruding upward.

[0043] To be specific, between the accommodating chamber a and the screw assembly 3, the upper end surface of the support portion 1.1 is provided with a liquid containing groove 1.2 with a notch facing upwards, and the liquid containing groove 1.2 is used to store the oil overflowing from the accommodating chamber a to prevent the oil from flowing directly and quickly to the screw assembly 3. Instead, only when the liquid containing groove 1.2 is full of oil can part of the oil flow to the screw assembly 3, thereby reducing the amount of oil that can flow to the screw assembly 3.

[0044] At the same time, between the screw assembly 3 and the liquid tank 1.2, the upper end surface of the support part 1.1 is provided with an upwardly protruding flow blocking part 1.3, and the lower end surface of the lap part 2.1 is provided with a downwardly notched insertion groove 2.2 to match the flow blocking part 1.3, and when the upper shell 2 is placed on the lower shell 1, the flow blocking part 1.3 is upwardly inserted into the insertion groove 2.2 of the lap part 2.1, so as to further prevent the oil from flowing from the liquid tank 1.2 to the screw assembly 3.

[0045] The flow-blocking structure formed by the liquid-containing groove 1.2 and the flow-blocking part 1.3 inserted upward into the upper shell 2 can prevent the oil from flowing out from the accommodating chamber a of the shell to the screw assembly 3, slow down or even avoid the erosion of the screw assembly 3 caused by the oil flowing from the accommodating chamber a to the screw assembly 3, and extend the service life of the shell.

[0046] During the installation process, the flow blocking portion 1.3 can be smoothly inserted into the insertion slot 2.2.

[0047] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 4 As shown in , the outer edge of the upper end of the blocking part 1.3 can be chamfered to form a first guiding surface 1.31 guiding the blocking part 1.3 to be inserted upward into the insertion groove 2.2.

[0048] The notch at the lower end of the insertion slot 2.2 (more precisely, the side wall of the notch) may also be chamfered to form a second guide surface 2.21 guiding the flow blocking part 1.3 to be inserted upward into the insertion slot 2.2.

[0049] Embodiment 2:

[0050] Based on the first embodiment, in order to achieve that when the reducer is not working, the oil in the liquid containing tank 1.2 can flow back to the containing chamber a for reuse.

[0051] As attached Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, an oil guide hole 1.4 extending obliquely may be provided in the lower shell body 1; the upper end of the oil guide hole 1.4 extends to the bottom of the liquid containing groove 1.2, and the lower end extends to the side wall of the containing chamber a (to be precise, the lower end of the oil guide hole 1.4 extends to the groove wall of the first groove a1), so that under the action of gravity, the oil guide hole 1.4 can relatively smoothly guide the oil in the liquid containing groove 1.2 back to the containing chamber a, and the oil in the containing chamber a is not easy to enter the liquid containing groove 1.2 through the oil guide hole 1.4.

[0052] In order to ensure smooth flow guidance, the oil guide hole 1.4 is preferably a straight hole extending obliquely.

[0053] At the same time, in order to better achieve: the oil guide hole 1.4 can smoothly guide the oil in the liquid containing tank 1.2 back to the containing chamber a, while the oil in the containing chamber a is not easy to enter the liquid containing tank 1.2 through the oil guide hole 1.4.

[0054] In this embodiment, in the direction from top to bottom, it is preferred that the diameter of the oil guide hole 1.4 is gradually reduced.

[0055] Embodiment three:

[0056] Based on the first or second embodiment, in order to better perform the above-mentioned flow blocking. In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 5As shown in the figure, the height dimension of the protrusion of the flow blocking part 1.3 is preferably set to be smaller than the groove depth dimension of the insertion groove 2.2, so that after the flow blocking part 1.3 is inserted into the insertion groove 2.2, the upper end of the flow blocking part 1.3 is spaced apart from the groove wall of the insertion groove 2.2; and a sealing member 4 in a compressed state is installed in the space between the upper end of the flow blocking part 1.3 and the groove wall of the insertion groove 2.2. The sealing member 4 is made of rubber or silicone, etc., and has a common elastic sealing structure.

[0057] Before the upper shell 2 is placed on the lower shell 1, the seal 4 is placed on the upper end of the flow blocking part 1.3. After the upper shell 2 is placed on the lower shell 1, the seal 4 is adapted to be placed in a compressed state between the flow blocking part 1.3 and the wall of the insertion groove 2.2 to achieve sealing and flow blocking, thereby better slowing down or even preventing the oil from flowing from the accommodating chamber a to the screw assembly 3.

[0058] Furthermore, to prevent the seal 4 from being misplaced when the upper shell 2 is placed on the lower shell 1, a receiving groove 1.32 with an upward notch is preferably provided at the upper end of the flow blocking portion 1.3, and the seal 4 is adapted to be positioned and installed in the receiving groove 1.32 so that the seal 4 can stably achieve sealing and flow blocking.

[0059] In order to make it easier to place the sealing member 4 in the insertion groove 2.2, the diameter of the groove opening of the receiving groove 1.32 is preferably set to gradually increase in the direction from bottom to top.

[0060] Embodiment 4:

[0061] Based on the first embodiment, the liquid containing tank 1.2 may be filled with oil-absorbing cotton, which can absorb the oil flowing into the liquid containing tank 1.2, thereby better preventing the oil from flowing toward the screw assembly 3 and improving the flow resistance effect.
