AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing wheeled excavator front drive axle assembly, the radial thickness of the sun gear is relatively small, which can easily cause cracking and damage and affect driving safety.

Method used

An outer half shaft structure is designed, including a gear shaft, a locking screw and an outer half shaft. The gear shaft has no splined connection with one end of the gear shaft and one end of the outer half shaft. The locking screw is connected to the outer half shaft through the gear shaft, so that the gear on the gear shaft becomes the sun gear on the wheel side reducer, thereby increasing the strength of the sun gear.

Benefits of technology

By increasing the strength of the sun gear, the risk of cracking and damage of the sun gear is avoided and the safety of driving is ensured.

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a front drive axle assembly of a wheeled excavator which is not easy to cause a sun wheel to crack and be damaged and ensures driving safety.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a front drive axle assembly of a wheeled excavator, which is composed of a wheel-side reducer, a main reducer, a steering knuckle, a differential, an outer half shaft, an inner half shaft, a steering support knuckle and a bridge housing. The main reducer is arranged in the middle of the bridge housing, one end of two steering support knuckles are respectively connected to the main reducer through the bridge housing to form a whole, the other ends of the two steering support knuckles are movably connected to the wheel-side reducer through the steering knuckle, the differential arranged in the bridge housing is transmission connected to the gearbox through the main reducer, the inner half shaft gear on the differential is transmission connected to one end of the inner half shaft also arranged in the bridge housing, the other end of the inner half shaft is transmission connected to one end of the steering knuckle, and the other end of the steering knuckle is transmission connected to the wheel-side reducer through the outer half shaft structure, the outer half shaft structure includes a gear shaft, a locking screw and an outer half shaft, the end of the gear shaft without a gear is spline-connected to one end of the outer half shaft, and the locking screw passes through the gear shaft and is connected to the outer half shaft.

[0005] An external spline that can cooperate with the outer half shaft is arranged on the outer circle of the end of the gear shaft without the gear, and an axial through hole for the locking screw to pass through is also arranged on the gear shaft.

[0006] An axial blind hole is provided on one end face of the outer half shaft that can be connected to the gear shaft. An internal spline that can cooperate with the external spline on the gear shaft is provided on the inner surface of the blind hole. A threaded hole for facilitating connection with the locking screw is also provided at the bottom of the blind hole.

[0007] The axis of the gear shaft and the axis of the outer half shaft are on the same straight line.

[0008] After adopting this structure, the outer half shaft structure includes a gear shaft, a locking screw, and an outer half shaft. One end of the gear shaft without a gear is spline-connected to one end of the outer half shaft. The locking screw passes through the gear shaft and is connected to the outer half shaft, making the gear on the gear shaft become the sun gear on the wheel side reducer. Thus, the purpose of increasing the strength of the sun gear, not easily causing the sun gear to crack and damage, and ensuring driving safety is achieved. Brief Description of the Drawings
