Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of differentials, in particular to a horizontal spiral centrifuge differential. Background Art
[0002] Horizontal spiral centrifuges are typically compact, can be operated continuously, run relatively smoothly, and have strong adaptability. Due to their high production capacity, easy maintenance, and excellent solid-liquid separation performance, they are currently widely used in fields requiring solid-liquid separation, such as chemical, petroleum, food, pharmaceutical, and environmental protection. A horizontal spiral centrifuge typically consists of a rotating drum, an inner spiral shaft, and a differential. During operation, the drum rotates at high speed, with the inner spiral shaft rotating in the same direction as the drum but at a slightly lower speed. As a result, after the suspension enters the drum, the high-speed rotation of the drum generates a very strong centrifugal force, which in turn separates the suspension into solids and liquids. This causes the solid phase particles to adhere to the inner wall of the drum, while the liquid phase, due to its lower density than the solid phase particles, is subjected to less centrifugal force and resides on the inner side of the drum, achieving the desired separation effect. The relative motion generated by the speed difference between the drum and the inner rotating shaft effectively pushes the solid phase particles to the discharge port at the conical end of the drum for discharge, while simultaneously discharging the liquid phase from the overflow port at the large end of the drum, completing the solid-liquid separation operation. Therefore, the differential connected to the inner rotating shaft is particularly important. How to ensure the stable operation of the inner rotating shaft, make the differential structure compact for long-term continuous operation, and be able to provide timely protection when the inner rotating shaft is overloaded are problems that people in this field need to solve.

[0025] The technical solution of this embodiment will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a horizontal spiral centrifuge differential, including an outer shell, a primary planetary system, a secondary planetary system, and an overload protection assembly. The outer shell is fixed to the outside of the primary planetary system and the secondary planetary system. The primary planetary system includes a primary planetary carrier 21. The two ends of the primary planetary carrier 21 are respectively provided with a double-row cylindrical roller bearing 201 and a deep groove ball bearing 202. One end of the primary planetary carrier 21 provided with the double-row cylindrical roller bearing 201 is connected to the inner spiral shaft of the drum. The secondary planetary system is located between the primary planetary system and the overload protection assembly.
[0027] The overload protection assembly includes a coupling 71, a torque transmission shaft 72, a torsion bar 73 and a safety pin 74. The torque transmission shaft 72 is connected to the secondary planetary system through the coupling 71. One end of the torsion bar 73 is connected to the torque transmission shaft 72, and the other end is connected to the safety pin 74. When the inner screw shaft is overloaded, the safety pin 74 breaks and the torque transmission shaft 72 can rotate freely.
[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, an outer shell is provided to protect the interior of the primary planetary system and the secondary planetary system, thereby preventing the two from being affected by the outside world during operation, and effectively preventing the primary planetary system and the secondary planetary system from being corroded, thereby extending their service life. Furthermore, the double-row cylindrical roller bearings 201 and deep groove ball bearings 202 provided at both ends of the primary planetary carrier 21 of the primary planetary system can effectively ensure the dual support effect of the primary planetary carrier 21, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the horizontal spiral centrifuge differential and effectively extending its service life. At the same time, in this embodiment, an overload protection component is provided to automatically activate the protection function when the inner spiral shaft is overloaded, so as to avoid damage to the horizontal spiral centrifuge differential, thereby effectively avoiding excessive maintenance work and reducing maintenance costs.
[0029] The specific structure of the horizontal spiral centrifuge differential in this embodiment is described below.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the horizontal spiral centrifuge differential in this embodiment includes an outer shell, a primary planetary system, a secondary planetary system and an overload protection component. Specifically, the outer shell is fixed to the outside of the primary planetary system and the secondary planetary system to protect the two and prevent the external environment from affecting their operation. At the same time, the inside and the outside of the two are separated to prevent corrosion and other factors from affecting their service life. Furthermore, the primary planetary system and the secondary planetary system are interconnected to realize the differential function of the horizontal spiral centrifuge differential, so that solids and liquids can be separated. Furthermore, the primary planetary system is connected to the inner spiral shaft of the drum, and the secondary planetary system is located between the primary planetary system and the overload protection component, and the overload protection component can automatically turn on the protection function when the inner spiral shaft is overloaded, so that the horizontal spiral centrifuge differential loses its differential function, thereby protecting the equipment and reducing maintenance costs.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer shell includes an input-end support shell 10, a rear shell 50, and a support cover 60, and is provided with a support plate 40. Specifically, the input-end support shell 10 and the support cover 60 are respectively disposed on the outside of the primary planetary system and the outside of the secondary planetary system. Furthermore, the rear shell 50 is fixedly connected to the support cover 60 and is located outside the secondary planetary system. Thus, the input-end support shell 10, the rear shell 50, and the support cover 60 can protect the primary and secondary planetary systems. For example, in this embodiment, a support plate 40 is disposed between the primary and secondary planetary systems, and the support plate 40, the rear shell 50, and the support cover 60 are connected by fasteners. In this embodiment, the fasteners are configured as bolts to ensure stable installation of the support plate 40. For example, screw holes can also be provided on the input-end support shell 10, so that the drum can be mounted on the input-end support shell 10 using bolts.
[0032] Optionally, in this embodiment, the primary planetary system includes a primary planetary carrier 21, a primary sun gear 22, a primary planetary gear 23, and a primary ring gear 24. The primary planetary gear 23 is provided with a primary planetary shaft 231. Double-row cylindrical roller bearings 201 and deep groove ball bearings 202 are also provided at both ends of the primary planetary carrier 21. Specifically, one end of the primary planetary carrier 21 provided with the double-row cylindrical roller bearing 201 is provided with an internal spline for connecting to the inner spiral shaft of the drum to ensure that the inner spiral shaft does not move axially during rotation, thereby achieving a tighter connection. Exemplarily, the input-end support housing 10 is mounted on the primary planet carrier 21, with a double-row cylindrical roller bearing 201 positioned between the input-end support housing 10 and the primary planet carrier 21, and a deep-groove ball bearing 202 positioned between the support plate 40 and the primary planet carrier 21. This dual support arrangement of the primary planet carrier 21 by the double-row cylindrical roller bearing 201 and the deep-groove ball bearing 202 effectively improves the load-bearing capacity of the entire horizontal spiral centrifuge differential, thereby extending the service life of the entire device. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the primary sun gear 22 is connected to the primary planet carrier 21, the primary planet gears 23 engage with the outer side of the primary sun gear 22, and the primary ring gear 24 engages with the outer side of the primary planet gears 23. The primary ring gear 24 is bolted to the input-end support housing 10 of the outer housing, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the primary planet system and the stable installation of the input-end support housing 10. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the large end of the outer side of the input-end support housing 10 is bolted to the primary ring gear 24.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the secondary planetary system similarly includes a secondary planetary carrier 31, a secondary sun gear 32, secondary planetary gears 33, and a secondary ring gear 35, with the secondary planetary gears 33 being provided with a secondary planetary shaft 331. Specifically, in this embodiment, the secondary planetary carrier 31 is connected to the primary sun gear 22, and one end of the secondary sun gear 32 is connected to the secondary planetary carrier 31, and the other end is connected to the overload protection assembly. The secondary planetary gears 33 engage with the outer side of the secondary sun gear 32, and the secondary ring gear 35 engages with the outer side of the secondary planetary gears 33. In this embodiment, the secondary ring gear 35 is connected to the rear housing 50 of the outer shell, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the secondary planetary system and the stable installation of the rear housing 50. Exemplarily, the secondary ring gear 35 is disposed inside the rear housing 50. Furthermore, a spherical roller bearing 601 is disposed between the support cover 60 and the secondary sun gear 32 of the secondary planetary system to ensure effective transmission of force. For example, in this embodiment, the first-stage planetary shaft 231 and the second-stage planetary shaft 331 are both configured as hollow structures, and radial bushings 34 are installed on the outside of both. Thus, the first-stage planetary gear 23 and the second-stage planetary gear 33 are both supported by radial bushings 34, which can effectively utilize the internal space of the horizontal spiral centrifuge differential, making the size of the overall equipment smaller and the structure more compact.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the overload protection assembly in this embodiment includes a coupling 71, a torsion transmission shaft 72, a torsion bar 73 and a safety pin 74. Specifically, the torsion transmission shaft 72 is connected to the secondary planetary system through the coupling 71, one end of the torsion bar 73 is connected to the torsion transmission shaft 72, and the other end is connected to the safety pin 74, and when the inner spiral shaft is overloaded, the safety pin 74 can break in time, so that the torsion transmission shaft 72 can rotate freely, thereby making the horizontal spiral centrifuge differential no longer have a differential function, thereby turning on the protection function to avoid damage to the equipment. For example, in this embodiment, the torsion bar 73 is connected to the torsion transmission shaft 72 by a flat key, and in other embodiments, other ways of connection can also be selected, which will not be repeated here.
[0035] In summary, in this embodiment, the double-row cylindrical roller bearings 201 and the deep groove ball bearings 202 can realize the double-support structure of the first-stage planetary carrier 21, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the horizontal spiral centrifuge differential and effectively extending its service life. Furthermore, the first-stage planetary gears 23 and the second-stage planetary gears 33 are both supported by radial pads 34, which can make the overall size of the horizontal spiral centrifuge differential smaller, the structure more compact, and improve its internal space utilization. Finally, when the inner spiral shaft is overloaded, the relative movement between the torsion bar 73 and the safety pin 74 in the overload protection assembly can cause the safety pin 74 to break, and realize the free rotation of the torsion transmission shaft 72 so that the horizontal spiral centrifuge differential no longer has a differential function, thereby realizing the automatic protection function when the centrifuge is overloaded as a whole, reducing maintenance costs.
[0036] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
