Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of traveling motors, and particularly relates to a lubrication structure for a traveling motor. Background Art
[0002] The statements herein only provide the background art related to the utility model, and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.
[0003] A traveling motor is a mechanical device specifically designed to be connected to a wheel or a crawler drive wheel, which can convert the hydraulic pressure energy provided by a hydraulic pump into the mechanical energy of its output shaft to drive the motor to rotate. By the flow of hydraulic oil and the angle change of the swash plate used in the traveling motor, the output speed and torque of the motor can be controlled, thereby realizing the movement of the traveling motor, low-speed driving, high-speed driving, release of overspeed and parking brake, as well as high-low speed switching and automatic switching.
[0004] In the prior art, by equipping the traveling motor with a high-pressure automatic variable device, the gear can be automatically changed according to the driving resistance. When the high-speed gear is engaged, the circuit is connected to the oil inlet of the manual transmission oil port, pushing the shift valve to move leftward, making the motor become a small displacement; if the driving resistance increases and the oil pressure rises to the set value, the oil pushes the shift valve to move rightward, and the motor automatically becomes a large displacement low-speed gear to increase the torque.
[0005] The inventor found that during the process of the angle change of the swash plate, due to the lack of a special lubrication structure to lubricate the mating surface of the swash plate and the servo piston, therefore, the friction force between the swash plate and the end face of the servo piston is relatively large, and wear marks are easily generated, affecting the performance and service life of the swash plate and the servo piston. Moreover, during the wear process, wear debris is easily generated between the lower end face of the swash plate and the end face of the servo piston. On the one hand, it will contaminate the hydraulic oil in the traveling motor, and on the other hand, the debris will flow into other components along with the hydraulic oil, affecting the performance and service life of other components.

[0028] As introduced in the background art, the purpose of the present utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art, and provide a lubrication structure for a traveling motor. By adding an oil passage on the swash plate 3, guiding the oil to enter the gap between the swash plate 3 and the servo piston 4 to form an oil film, the wear of the mating surface between the swash plate 3 and the servo piston 4 is reduced.
[0029] Embodiment 1
[0030] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment discloses a lubrication structure for a walking motor, including: a swash plate 3 and a servo piston 4, and the lower end surface of the swash plate 3 is in contact with the end surface of the servo piston 4 to form a mating surface. An oil passage is opened on the swash plate 3, and the oil passage penetrates through the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the swash plate 3, so that the upper end surface of the swash plate 3 is communicated with the end surface of the servo piston 4, and the oil inside the housing 1 flowing to the upper end surface of the swash plate 3 is conveyed to the mating surface of the swash plate 3 and the servo piston 4. The oil forms an oil film in the gap between the lower end surface of the swash plate 3 and the end surface of the servo piston 4, seeps out from the edge of the end surface of the servo piston 4, provides lubrication for the mating surface of the swash plate 3 and the servo piston 4, and reduces the wear of the mating surface.
[0031] Since the servo piston is symmetric, in order to ensure balanced force, in this embodiment, two oil passages are opened on the swash plate 3, namely a first oil passage 6 and a second oil passage 7, and the first oil passage 6 and the second oil passage 7 are symmetrically distributed.
[0032] In this embodiment, the lower end surface of the swash plate 3 and the end surface of the servo piston 4 are both flat structures. When the angle of the swash plate 3 changes, the two end surfaces are in contact with each other to form a mating surface.
[0033] In this embodiment, the lubrication structure for the walking motor further includes a plunger 5. The head of the plunger 5 is in close contact with the upper end surface of the swash plate 3. Driven by the swash plate 3, the plunger 5 makes a cyclic movement in the housing 1. During the movement, the high-pressure oil inside the housing 1 flows out to the upper end surface of the swash plate 3, and the high-pressure oil on the upper end surface of the swash plate 3 enters the gap between the swash plate 3 and the servo piston 4 through the oil passage.
[0034] In order to make the high-pressure oil flowing out of the plunger 5 more easily enter the oil passage and flow to the end surface of the servo piston 4, in this embodiment, the opening range of the oil port at the upper end of the swash plate 3 is controlled within the movement range of the plunger 5 of the walking motor, and the opening range of the oil port at the lower end of the swash plate 3 is controlled within the range of the servo piston 4.
[0035] In this embodiment, a return spring plate 2 is arranged between the plunger 5 and the upper end surface of the swash plate 3. The return spring plate 2 is provided with through holes, and the number of the through holes matches the number of the plungers 5. The head of each plunger 5 passes through the corresponding through hole and is in close contact with the upper end surface of the swash plate 3. The movement of the plunger 5 is controlled by the return spring plate 2, and the oil suction process is realized during the cyclic movement of the plunger 5.
[0036] In order to ensure that the oil flows smoothly to the mating surface of the swash plate 3 and the servo piston 4 and does not affect the performance of the swash plate 3, in this embodiment, the aperture of the oil passage is set to 2-3 mm.
[0037] Based on the above lubrication structure, this embodiment further provides a travel motor, which is composed of a swash plate 3, a servo piston 4, and a lubrication structure. Through the lubrication structure, the oil discharged during the cyclic movement of the plunger 5 can enter the gap between the lower end face of the swash plate 3 and the end face of the servo piston 4 to form an oil film, providing lubrication for the mating surface of the swash plate 3 and the servo piston 4, reducing the wear of the mating surface of the swash plate 3 and the servo piston 4, and improving the product performance and service life of the travel motor. At the same time, it can avoid the problems of contamination of the hydraulic oil by the debris generated during the wear of the swash plate and the servo piston and damage to other components, ensuring the stability and reliability of the travel motor.
[0038] The travel motor further includes a housing 1. The swash plate 3 and the servo piston 4 are installed in the housing 1. The lubrication structure introduces the internal oil of the housing 1 to the mating surface of the swash plate 3 and the servo piston 4 to ensure stable lubrication conditions during the operation of the motor.
[0039] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and changes. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
