[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0056] The following combines Figures 1 to 12 to describe the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0057] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, on the one hand, a lubricating and cooling structure is provided, which is applied in an electric roller, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 12 . The electric roller includes a roller 1, and a cavity is formed inside the roller 1. Specifically, the lubricating and cooling structure includes a first support shaft 2, a speed reducer 3 supported on the first support shaft 2, and a circulating oil passage 7 formed in the first support shaft 2 and the speed reducer 3. Among them, the first support shaft 2 is used to support one axial end of the roller 1, the speed reducer 3 is supported in the cavity through the first support shaft 2, and the circulating oil passage 7 forms an oil circulation in the first support shaft 2, the speed reducer 3 and the cavity of the roller 1 to achieve the purpose of lubricating and cooling the speed reducer 3.
[0058] More specifically, the first support shaft 2 is rotatably connected to one axial end of the roller 1, such as through a rotating bearing. The two axial ends of the first support shaft 2 are respectively a first end 211 and a second end 212, the first end 211 is located outside the cavity, and the second end 212 is located inside the cavity.
[0059] The speed reducer 3 includes a speed reducer housing 39 and a gear shaft 31 and a gear set provided in the speed reducer housing 39. The speed reducer housing 39 is connected to the first support shaft 2, such as by bolt connection, riveting, clamping, etc. The gear shaft 31 is disposed axially through the speed reducer housing 39. The gear shaft 31 has an output end 312 and an input end 311. The output end 312 faces the second end 212 of the first support shaft 2, and the input end 311 is used to be drivingly connected to the motor 4 to output the power of the motor 4. The gear set is sleeved on the gear shaft 31 and is drivingly connected between the speed reducer housing 39 and the gear shaft 31. The meshing portions of the gears at all levels of the gear set are arranged around the gear shaft.
[0060] The circulating oil passage 7 includes an oil inlet passage 71, a gear shaft oil passage 73, and an oil outlet passage 75 that are connected in a circulating manner. The oil inlet passage 71 and the oil outlet passage 75 are both formed in the first support shaft 2, and the gear shaft oil passage 73 is formed in the gear shaft 31 and extends from the output end 312 towards the input end 311. Among them, the oil inlet passage 71 forms an oil inlet 72 at the first end 211 and is connected to the gear shaft oil passage 73 at the second end 212. The oil outlet passage 75 forms an oil outlet 76 at the first end 211 and is connected to the cavity at the second end 212. The gear shaft oil passage 73 has an oil return port 74 formed on the outer peripheral wall of the gear shaft 31. The oil return port 74 is connected to the meshing portions of the gears at all levels of the gear set and is connected to the oil outlet passage 75 through the cavity.
[0061] In some embodiments, the first support shaft 2 can be directly connected to the reducer housing 39, or the first support shaft 2 can be indirectly connected to the reducer housing 39 through other structures, such as being connected through a planetary gear disc between the first support shaft 2 and the reducer housing 39.
[0062] In some embodiments, the gear shaft 31 of the reducer 3 can be coaxially arranged with the first support shaft 2.
[0063] It should be noted that the reducer housing 39 is in communication with the cavity inside the drum 1, that is, the lubricating oil flowing out of the gear shaft oil passage 73 can finally flow back into the cavity.
[0064] Using the technical solution of the present utility model, firstly, the lubricating oil can enter the gear shaft oil passage 73 from the oil inlet passage 71 and flow out of the gear shaft 31 and the meshing portions of the gears at all levels through the oil return port 74, realizing the lubrication and cooling of the gear shaft 31 of the reducer 3 and the meshing portions of the gears at all levels, and improving the reliability of the operation of the reducer 3. The lubricating oil flowing out of the oil return port 74 finally flows into the cavity and is discharged through the oil outlet passage 75, realizing the circulating flow of the lubricating oil. It can be understood that the input end 311 of the gear shaft 31 is usually directly connected to the motor 4 and is the high-speed end of the reducer 3, with higher requirements for lubrication and cooling. The gear shaft oil passage 73 of this solution extends from the output end 312 to the input end 311 of the gear shaft 31, facilitating the delivery of the lubricating oil to the high-speed end of the reducer 3 to further ensure the reliability of the operation of the reducer 3.
[0065] Secondly, both the oil inlet passage 71 and the oil outlet passage 75 are arranged on the first support shaft 2, and the oil inlet 72 of the oil inlet passage 71 and the oil outlet 76 of the oil outlet passage 75 are both located at the first end 211 of the first support shaft 2, which is convenient for installation and connection with the external driving structure, avoiding too long lead wires.
[0066] In some embodiments, the oil inlet 72 of the oil inlet passage 71 and the oil outlet 76 of the oil outlet passage 75 are both located on the end face of the first end 211 far from the second end 212 to further improve the convenience of installation.
[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and 3 shown, the gear shaft oil passage 73 includes a central hole 313 and an oil outlet hole. Among them, the central hole 313 extends from the output end 312 to the input end 311, and communicates with the oil inlet passage 71 at the output end 312. That is, the central hole 313 penetrates through the end of the output end 312 to facilitate communication with the oil inlet passage 71; alternatively, the central hole 313 can penetrate through the ends of both the output end 312 and the input end 311 at the same time. One end of the oil outlet hole communicates with the central hole 313, and the other end forms an oil return port 74 on the outer peripheral wall of the gear shaft 31. That is, the oil outlet hole extends in the radial direction of the gear shaft 31 to communicate the central hole 313 and the outer periphery of the gear shaft 31.
[0068] In some embodiments, from the output end 312 to the input end 311, the diameter of the central hole 313 gradually increases. With such a setting, the linear velocity at the part with a small diameter of the central hole 313 is small, and the linear velocity at the part with a large diameter is large. The lubricating oil will flow from the place with a small linear velocity to the place with a large linear velocity, that is, flow towards the input end 311, so as to ensure that the lubricating oil can flow to the high-speed end and improve the lubrication and cooling effects.
[0069] In some embodiments, from the output end 312 to the input end 311, the included angle between the oil outlet hole and the central hole 313 is an acute angle. That is, the oil outlet hole is inclined towards the input end 311 in the radial direction of the central hole 313 to ensure that the lubricating oil can flow to the high-speed end and further improve the lubrication and cooling effects.
[0070] In some embodiments, the oil outlet hole includes a third oil outlet hole 314 and a fourth oil outlet hole 315, and the third oil outlet hole 314 and the fourth oil outlet hole 315 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the central hole 313. In this way, the lubricating oil can flow to different positions along the axis of the gear shaft 31 through the third oil outlet hole 314 and the fourth oil outlet hole 315 respectively, which is convenient for lubricating and cooling the inside of the speed reducer 3 in a targeted manner.
[0071] In some embodiments, there are multiple third oil outlet holes 314 and multiple fourth oil outlet holes 315. The multiple third oil outlet holes 314 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the central hole 313, and the multiple fourth oil outlet holes 315 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the central hole 313. The multiple third oil outlet holes 314 and the multiple fourth oil outlet holes 315 jointly form multiple oil return ports 74 on the outer peripheral wall of the gear shaft 31.
[0072] In some embodiments, the speed reducer 3 is a planetary speed reducer, and the above-mentioned gear shaft 31 is a sun gear shaft. The above-mentioned speed reducer housing 39 includes a speed reducer flange and a speed reducer internal gear housing connected to each other, and the sun gear shaft is disposed through the installation space enclosed by the speed reducer flange and the speed reducer internal gear housing.
[0073] In some embodiments, the gear set includes a first-stage planetary gear assembly 32 , a first bearing 33 , a second-stage sun gear 34 , a second-stage planetary gear assembly 35 and the output gear 37 , which are coaxially arranged in sequence.
[0074] The first bearing 33 is sleeved and fixed on the input end 311 of the gear shaft 31, and the first-stage planetary gear assembly 32 is rotatably connected to the input end 311 of the gear shaft 31 through the first bearing 33.

The adapter plate 342 is arranged close to the first-stage planetary gear assembly 32 and is fixedly connected to the first-stage planetary gear assembly 32, such as by bolts; at the same time, the adapter plate 342 presses the outer ring of the first bearing 33.
[0076] Among them, a second bearing 36 is provided on the side of the reducer flange facing the reducer internal gear housing, the outer ring of the second bearing 36 is fixedly connected to the reducer flange, and the inner ring is fixedly connected to the second-stage planetary gear assembly 35. That is, the second-stage planetary gear assembly 35 is rotatably connected to the reducer flange through the second bearing 36, and is rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the gear shaft 31. The end of the second-stage planetary gear assembly 35 away from the second-stage sun gear 34 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the second bearing 36, and the end close to the second-stage sun gear 34 is meshed with the second-stage sun gear 34, and is also meshed with the reducer internal gear housing.

The second-stage planetary gear assembly 35 is sleeved on the outer side of the output gear 37, one end of the output gear 37 is fixedly connected to the second-stage planetary gear assembly 35, and the other end is transmission-connected to the drum 1. Exemplarily, a planetary gear plate assembly 5 can be provided between the reducer 3 and the first support shaft 2, and the output gear 37 can be transmission-connected to the drum 1 through the planetary gear plate assembly 5.
[0078] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the output gear 37 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the gear shaft 31 to form a first annular gap 370 between the output gear 37 and the gear shaft 31. The first annular gap 370 communicates with the third oil outlet hole 314 and the meshing part of the second-stage sun gear 34 and the second-stage planetary gear assembly 35. Lubricating oil can reach the meshing part of the second-stage sun gear 34 and the second-stage planetary gear assembly 35 through the third oil outlet hole 314.
[0079] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the second-stage sun gear 34 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the gear shaft 31 to form a second annular gap 340 between the second-stage sun gear 34 and the gear shaft 31.

Lubricating oil can reach the meshing part of the first-stage planetary gear assembly 32 and the gear shaft 31 through the fourth oil outlet hole 315.
[0080] In the above embodiments, by providing the first annular gap 370 and the second annular gap 340, lubrication and cooling of the gears at all levels in the speed reducer 3 can be achieved, further improving the lubrication and cooling effects and ensuring the reliability of the operation of the gears at all levels in the speed reducer 3.
[0081] In some embodiments, the aperture of the third oil outlet hole 314 is slightly smaller than the aperture of the fourth oil outlet hole 315 so that part of the lubricating oil can reach the fourth oil outlet hole 315 after passing through the third oil outlet hole 314.
[0082] In some embodiments, from the output end 312 to the input end 311, the outer diameter dimension of the first annular gap 370 shows an increasing trend. That is, when the gear shaft 31 rotates, the linear velocity in the first annular gap 370 shows an increasing trend, and the lubricating oil can be thrown to the meshing part of the second-stage sun gear 34 and the second-stage planetary gear assembly 35 through the linear velocity difference, ensuring the reliability of gear lubrication and cooling.
[0083] Exemplarily, as Figure 4 shown, the output gear 37 has a first gear inner wall 371, and the first annular gap 370 is formed between the first gear inner wall 371 and the outer wall of the gear shaft 31. Among them, the first gear inner wall 371 includes a first cylindrical section and a first conical section. The first conical section is located at one end of the output gear 37 close to the second-stage planetary gear assembly 35, that is, one end close to the meshing part of the second-stage sun gear 34 and the second-stage planetary gear assembly 35. From the output end 312 to the input end 311, the diameter of the first cylindrical section remains unchanged, and the diameter of the first conical section gradually increases.
[0084] Exemplarily, the first gear inner wall 371 can also be integrally conical, that is, from the output end 312 to the input end 311, the diameter of the first gear inner wall 371 gradually increases.
[0085] Understandably, the diameter of the inner wall 371 of the first gear, which is also the inner diameter of the output gear 37 and the outer diameter of the first annular gap 370.
[0086] In some embodiments, from the output end 312 to the input end 311, the outer diameter dimension of the second annular gap 340 shows an increasing trend. That is, when the gear shaft 31 rotates, the linear velocity within the second annular gap 340 shows an increasing trend. Through the linear velocity difference, the lubricating oil can be thrown to the meshing position between the first-stage planetary gear assembly 32 and the gear shaft 31, further ensuring the reliability of gear lubrication and cooling.
[0087] Exemplarily, as Figure 5 shown, the sun gear 341 has a second gear inner wall 3411, and the second annular gap 340 is formed between the second gear inner wall 3411 and the outer wall of the gear shaft 31. Among them, the second gear inner wall 3411 includes a second cylindrical section and a second conical section. The second conical section is located at one end of the sun gear 341 close to the adapter plate 342, that is, one end close to the meshing position between the first-stage planetary gear assembly 32 and the gear shaft 31. From the output end 312 to the input end 311, the diameter of the second cylindrical section remains unchanged, and the diameter of the second conical section gradually increases.
[0088] Exemplarily, the second gear inner wall 3411 can also be integrally conical, that is, from the output end 312 to the input end 311, the diameter of the second gear inner wall 3411 gradually increases.
[0089] Understandably, the diameter of the second gear inner wall 3411 is also the inner diameter of the second-stage sun gear 34 and the outer diameter of the second annular gap 340.
[0090] In some embodiments, the gear shaft 31 and the first-stage planetary gear assembly 32 are rotatably connected through the above-mentioned first bearing 33, and the second annular gap 340 communicates with the position where the first bearing 33 is located. Understandably, the first bearing 33 is connected between the gear shaft 31 and the first-stage planetary gear assembly 32 and belongs to a high-speed bearing, which has relatively high requirements for lubrication and cooling. In this example, the lubricating oil can reach the first bearing 33 through the second annular gap 340 to achieve the lubrication and cooling of the high-speed bearing, further improving the reliability of the operation of the speed reducer 3.

Exemplarily, the communication groove 222 can be set as a kidney-shaped hole, a rectangular hole, a U-shaped hole, etc.
[0096] In some embodiments, the support shaft portion 21, the cover body portion 22 and the gear shaft 31 are coaxially arranged. A protruding portion is provided on the middle of the cover body portion 22 facing the gear shaft 31. The protruding portion is located at the axis of the cover body portion 22.

During the rotation of the gear shaft 31, part of the lubricating oil in the central hole 313 enters the first annular gap 370 through the third oil outlet hole 314 and is thrown out onto the first gear inner wall 371 of the output gear 37, and finally is thrown to the meshing part of the second-stage sun gear 34 and the second-stage planetary gear assembly 35 for lubrication and cooling. The remaining lubricating oil in the central hole 313 continues to flow towards the input end 311, enters the second annular gap 340 through the fourth oil outlet hole 315 and is thrown out onto the second gear inner wall 3411 of the second-stage sun gear 34, and finally is thrown to the first bearing 33 and the meshing part of the gear shaft 31 and the first-stage planetary gear assembly 32 for lubrication and cooling. After the lubricating oil lubricates and cools the inside of the speed reducer 3, it flows out, returns to the lower part of the cavity in the drum 1, is pumped up by the oil pipe 23, and is pumped out through the oil outlet 76 of the oil outlet channel 75 in the first support shaft 2. After heat exchange and cooling outside, it is pumped into the first support shaft 2 again through the oil inlet 72 to realize the circulation of the lubricating oil.
