Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a protection device for a speed reducer, belonging to the technical field of mining excavators. Background Art

[0002] At present, the traveling speed reducers of large mining excavators often adopt planetary structure speed reducers with two-stage or three-stage reduction. The speed reducer mainly consists of a transmission shaft, gears, a planetary carrier, etc. inside, which can achieve the function of reducing speed and increasing torque, but at the same time puts forward higher requirements for the anti-collision of the speed reducer.

[0003] During the use of the existing traveling speed reducer, due to the relatively low height of the excavator chassis, collisions and bumps are inevitable, which will damage the internal structure of the speed reducer. In order to reduce the collision damage of the speed reducer during walking, designers will protect the speed reducer by making the width of the traveling track shoe exceed the body of the speed reducer during the design process. However, for some models, due to the requirement of traveling traction, the body of the speed reducer will exceed the width of the track shoe, making the track shoe unable to effectively protect the speed reducer.

[0030] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, a speed reducer protection device includes a plurality of arc-shaped protective covers 2 and a plurality of connecting plates 3; the plurality of protective covers 2 are uniformly arranged at the end of the speed reducer 9 along the entire circumference at intervals, and each protective cover 2 is fixed to the end cover 8 of the speed reducer 9 by sharing the end cover bolts 1; the plurality of connecting plates 3 are respectively arranged between two adjacent protective covers 2, and the two spaced protective covers 2 are connected by the connecting plate 3, so that the plurality of protective covers 2 form a closed circular protective cover along the entire circumferential direction, playing a protective role for the speed reducer 9.

[0031] It should be noted that the protective cover 2 is welded into a whole on site through the connecting plate 3, so that the force generated by an external object collision is transmitted to the whole protection device, and the speed reducer body; the number of the protective covers 2 is not fixed and is determined according to the size of the speed reducer body. The protective cover 2 is fixed on the speed reducer body through structures such as part of the end cover bolts 1 and the connecting plate 3 of the speed reducer itself, and is not connected to other structures, ensuring the independence of the speed reducer 9 and the protective cover 2.

[0032] The above protective cover structure is further described below.

[0033] As Figure 3 shown, the protective cover 2 includes an arc-shaped protective plate 5 and a baffle 6 welded thereto or integrally cast; wherein, the baffle 6 is vertically located at the outer edge of the inner arc surface of the protective plate 5.

[0034] In a further solution, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown, at least one through hole I 10 coaxial with the through hole II on the end cover 8 is provided on the baffle 6, and the end cover bolt 1 passes through the through hole I 10 and the through hole II and is then tightened into the threaded hole on the end face of the speed reducer 9, so as to fix the baffle 6 on the end cover 8.

[0035] In a further solution, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, a bolt sheath 11 is fastened in a through hole II on an end cover 8 arranged coaxially with a through hole I 10. The inner hole diameter of the bolt sheath 11 is the same as the outer diameter of the rod part of an end cover bolt 1. The end cover bolt 1 passes through the through hole I 10 and the bolt sheath 11 and is then screwed tightly into a threaded hole on the end face of a speed reducer 9. The gap between the end cover bolt 1 and the through hole II is filled by the bolt sheath 11 to prevent suspension at the joint of the end of the end cover bolt 1, effectively increasing the locking torque of the protection device.

[0036] A further solution is as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown. A bolt protection device for protecting the end cover bolt 1 is provided on the outer vertical surface of a baffle 6 near the through hole I 10, so that the bolt head is completely hidden inside a protection plate 5 to prevent damage to the end cover bolt 1 caused by collision.

[0037] In a preferred solution, the bolt protection device is composed of a plurality of ribs 7 protruding from the outer vertical surface of the baffle 6 and surrounding the exposed part of the end cover bolt 1 in its sunk groove end to end; alternatively, the bolt protection device is composed of a plurality of ribs 7 protruding from the outer vertical surface of the baffle 6 and surrounding the exposed part of the end cover bolt 1 in its sunk groove and connected to the protection plate 5.

[0038] It should be noted that in the drawings, the bolt protection device is composed of three ribs 7 welded together in a U-shaped structure and welded to the protection plate 5.

[0039] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, the outer arc surfaces of the protection plates 5 are both provided with stepped surfaces at both ends along its circumferential direction, and a connecting plate 3 is lapped on the stepped surfaces of two adjacent protection plates 5 to connect the two adjacent protection plates 5 together.

[0040] A further solution is as Figure 3 shown. The protective cover 2 further includes an arc-shaped bent plate 4. The shape of the bent plate 4 is the same as that of the protection plate 5, so that the bent plate 4 is closely attached to the inner arc surface of the protection plate 5 and the two are welded together.

[0041] A further solution is as Figure 3 shown. The baffle 6 is an irregular plate structure formed by obliquely cutting the included angles at both ends of its inner ring surface on the basis of a sector ring structure.

[0042] In summary, the present utility model provides a speed reducer protection device. A plurality of protective covers are assembled onto the speed reducer body through bolt sheaths and the end cover bolts of the speed reducer itself, and are welded on site through connecting plates, so that the protective covers form a whole to play a protective role for the speed reducer. The specific functions are:

[0043] 1. Different protective cover specifications are designed according to different reducer sizes to match the reducer. The protective cover is assembled with the reducer through the end cover bolts and bolt sheaths of the reducer. The protective cover is not connected to other structures of the reducer, ensuring the independence of the reducer and the protective cover. A bolt sheath is added at the connection between the protective device and the end cover bolts of the reducer to prevent the end of the bolt from having a suspension at the joint, effectively increasing the locking torque of the protective device.

[0044] 2. The protective cover is designed with a bolt protection device through baffles and ribs, so that the bolt head is completely sunk into the sunk groove formed by the welded joint of the protective plate and the ribs, preventing the end cover bolts from being damaged by external objects during the movement of the reducer.

[0045] 3. After the protective cover and the reducer are assembled, they need to be welded and connected through the connecting plate to form an integral whole for the protective cover, so that the force generated by the collision of external objects is transmitted to the entire protective device rather than the reducer body. The number of protective covers is not fixed and is determined according to the volume of the reducer body.
