Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0032] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present utility model. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0033] The technical means not detailed in this application and not used to solve the technical problems of this application are set according to the common general knowledge in the art, and various common general knowledge setting methods can be realized.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 7 , the modular idler gear structure provided by this application includes: a gear shaft 1, a lubricating oil passage 2, a positioning pin structure 3, a double-row tapered roller bearing 4, an outer cage 5 of the double-row tapered roller bearing, an inner cage 6 of the double-row tapered roller bearing 4, an internal oil passage 7 of the double-row tapered roller bearing 4, a journal 8 of the gear shaft 1, a compression flange 9 of the gear shaft 1, external teeth 10 of the idler gear 12, and an inner cavity 11 of the idler gear 12.

[0035] The double-row tapered roller bearing 4 is sleeved on the gear shaft 1; the gear shaft 1 serves as the support shaft of the double-row tapered roller bearing 4. A lubricating oil passage 2 is opened in the gear shaft 1, and the lubricating oil of the lubricating oil passage 2 can reach the oil passage 7 provided on the inner cage 6 of the double-row tapered roller bearing 4 to lubricate each roller in the double-row tapered roller bearing 4. The lubricating oil passage 2 includes: a first section and a second section; the first section and the second section are vertically arranged and communicate with each other; the first section is opened on the end face of the gear shaft 1 to facilitate connection with an external lubricating oil passage; the first section extends axially in the gear shaft 1 along the gear shaft 1, and one end of the second section is connected to the side wall of the first section and extends and communicates with the oil passage 7 on the inner cage 6. Thus, lubricating oil is conveyed to the double-row tapered roller bearing 4, and after passing through the oil passage 7 on the inner cage 6, the lubricating oil enters the area between the roller and the inner cage 6 to achieve effective lubrication of the roller.

[0036] The double-row tapered roller bearing 4 includes: an inner frame 6 and an outer frame 5 and a rotating tapered roller arranged between the inner frame 6 and the outer frame 5.

Due to the large fillet surface structure, the contact end surfaces of the first ring body 71 and the second ring body 72 have a large gap between the contact end surfaces, which can store and form a lubricating oil film on the contact surface between the roller and the inner frame 6. The built-in oil channel 7 is opened in the gap between the contact end surfaces of the first ring body 71 and the second ring body 72. The oil entering the gap of the large fillet surface can pass through the built-in oil channel 7 of the bearing to fully utilize the oil from the gear shaft provided with the lubricating oil path 2 to achieve full lubrication of the bearing. The outer wall of the outer frame 5 is in direct contact with the inner cavity 11 of the idle gear 12, serving as a bearing for the rotation of the idle gear 12. The outer end faces of the first ring body 71 and the second ring body 72 are respectively provided with anti-slip convex rings, and the tapered rollers are rolled in the grooves inside the anti-slip convex rings to prevent the rolling bearings from slipping out of the cavity surrounded by the first ring body 71 and the second ring body 72.

[0038] The structure places the bearing inside the idle gear cavity, and the gear shaft 1 is provided with an oil lubrication channel 2. The oil lubricates the built-in bearing through the oil channel 2 to achieve lubrication and cooling of the bearing, thereby improving reliability and service life. The double tapered roller bearing 4 has an oil lubrication channel inside, and the outer strong frame is formed as a whole. The inner cavity frame 6 is provided with a two-body structure of a first ring body 71 and a second ring body 72, which is convenient for controlling the axial clearance of the bearing, and can ensure that the inner frame of the bearing can be directly pressed during use, without the need to control the axial clearance separately, and the double-row tapered roller bearing can withstand large axial and radial forces, and is an idler gear transmission structure that can withstand high power output.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the journal 8 of the gear shaft 1 is in direct contact with the inner frame 6 of the double-row tapered roller bearing 4, and has an interference fit, and the inner frame 6 of the double-row tapered roller bearing 4 serves as a fixed ring. A positioning pin structure 3 is provided on the gear shaft 1, and the positioning pin structure 3 can ensure that the position of the entire structure is accurate and stable after installation, and the gear can also be precisely matched.

[0040] The gear shaft 1 is fitted with the inner hole of the double tapered roller bearing 4. The shaft end of the gear shaft 1 is provided with a locating pin structure 3, and the inside of the locating pin structure is provided with an oil lubrication channel 2. The oil channel 2 leads to the side of the journal 8 to lubricate the bearing. A pressing flange structure 9 is arranged at the end of the gear shaft 1. After the pressing flange structure 9 is fastened by the mounting bolts, it is ensured that the entire idle gear transmission structure will not move axially and rotates smoothly.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, it includes: a pressing flange 9; the pressing flange 9 is arranged on the gear shaft 1, serving as the bolt fastening position of the entire structure and ensuring the axial positioning of the gear at the same time.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, an external tooth structure 10 and an inner cavity 11 are arranged on the outer side wall of the idle gear 12. The external tooth structure 10 transmits torque with the adjacent gear, and the inner cavity 11 cooperates with the outer cage 5 of the double row tapered roller bearing 4 to realize the rotation of the idle gear 12 relative to the gear shaft 1.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, a stop is arranged on the inner cavity 11 to prevent the gear from moving axially on the gear shaft 1. The size of the external tooth 10 can be designed according to the size of the gear according to the layout of the gear train.

[0044] After the above components are processed individually and then assembled, an idle gear transmission structure with an internal bearing is formed. It has a high degree of integration and good versatility. The modular setting of the idle gear is realized, which is convenient for installation and use, and has a good lubrication effect.
