Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of transmission power elements, and in particular to a defrost gearbox. Background Art
[0002] During colder nights and early mornings, the ground surface temperature can drop below zero, potentially harming plants due to frost. During this period, a temperature inversion occurs above the garden, where the air temperature about ten meters above the ground is higher than the ground itself. Existing technology uses a defrost machine to blow air from a higher altitude toward the ground, raising the ground temperature and reducing plant frost damage.
[0003] Previous defrosters blew air directly downward, which only affected a small area of airflow and could only direct warm air downward in a small area. Subsequent improved defrost designs used a gearbox to achieve oblique blowing while simultaneously enabling the gearbox to rotate to change the blowing direction. This allowed the defrost to cause a large area of high-altitude airflow to sink and mix with low-altitude airflow, covering a large area of the garden. However, this gearbox has the following problems: the gearbox's self-rotating structure, which serves as the self-rotating bearing for the entire gearbox, has a large load-bearing capacity and size, and needs to prevent the lubricating oil in the bearing from evaporating, and protect the bearing from foreign matter that may affect its use. The current structure still has room for improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to achieve bearing protection for the gearbox rotation structure, the present application provides a defrosting gearbox.
[0005] This application provides a defrost gearbox, which adopts the following technical solution:

This prevents rapid evaporation of the autorotating bearing's lubricating oil and prevents the ingress of external dust and other particles. While both the upper and lower sealing rings will wear over long periods of operation, the wear and tear of the lower sealing ring prevents the entry of dust into the autorotating bearing. Furthermore, since the sealing surface between the upper sealing ring and the gear carrier is located above the gear carrier, this wear and tear also prevents the entry of dust into the autorotating bearing.
[0008] Preferably, an annular dovetail groove is formed on the outer wall of the input housing at a position above the rotation bearing, and the inner ring of the upper sealing ring is an embedded ring embedded in the dovetail groove.

[0014] Preferably, the input seat housing is a rotating body, the upper end of the input seat housing extends into the box body, two input bearings are installed at the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the input seat housing, the input rotating shaft passes through the two input bearings, and the position of the input rotating shaft near the lower end is threadedly connected with a bearing nut that abuts the inner ring of the input bearing.

[0016] Preferably, the lower sealing ring, the input cover and the input seat housing are connected by bolts, and an input oil seal abutting against the input rotating shaft is provided on the inner side wall of the input cover.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of the lower sealing ring and the input cover is completed by bolts, and the input oil seal is used for rotational sealing.
[0018] Preferably, the self-rotation drive device also includes a transmission assembly located in the housing, which cooperates with the output shaft, transmits power, and drives the housing to transmit, the transmission assembly includes a first worm located on the output shaft, a first transmission shaft located in the housing and extending in the front-to-back direction, a first worm wheel located on the first transmission shaft and meshing with the first worm, a second worm located on the first transmission shaft, a second transmission shaft with one end located in the housing and the other end passing downwardly out of the housing, a second worm wheel located at the upper end of the second transmission shaft and meshing with the second worm, and a transmission gear located at the lower end of the second transmission shaft and meshing with the gear rack.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the output shaft rotates, the transmission shaft is driven to rotate through the cooperation of the first worm and the first worm wheel, and the transmission shaft drives the second transmission shaft to rotate through the cooperation of the second worm and the second worm wheel, and the second transmission shaft drives the transmission gear to rotate. Since the transmission gear is engaged with the teeth of the outer ring of the gear rack, the entire box rotates around the center of the gear rack, so that the direction of the airflow is constantly changing, driving a large range of high-altitude airflow to blow to the ground.
[0020] Preferably, a transmission bearing is sleeved on the second transmission shaft, and the transmission bearing is installed on the inner side wall of the box body, and a transmission seat shell is provided on the box body below the transmission bearing, and a circle of abutment ring is formed on the upper side wall of the transmission seat shell to abut the outer ring of the transmission bearing, the second transmission shaft passes through the transmission seat shell, and a transmission oil seal that fits the second transmission shaft is embedded on the inner wall of the transmission seat shell.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the output device 3 includes an output shaft 12 for mounting blades, an output bevel gear 13 fixed on the output shaft 12 and meshing with the input bevel gear 8, and output bearings 14 located at both ends of the output shaft 12 on the housing 1 for supporting the output shaft 12.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotation drive device 4 comprises a gear carrier 15 mounted on the outside of the input housing 5 and rotatably connected to the input housing 5; a transmission assembly 16 located within the housing 1 and cooperating with the output shaft 12 to transmit power and drive the housing 1. A protective cover 17 is mounted on the underside of the housing 1, enclosing the portion of the gear carrier 15 and transmission assembly 16 that extends outside the housing 1. A rotation bearing 18, utilizing a tapered roller bearing, is mounted between the gear carrier 15 and the input housing 5. A lower, annular rubber seal 19 is bolted to the input cover 6, forming a sealing surface against the inner wall of the gear carrier 15. An annular dovetail groove 20 is formed on the outer wall of the input housing 5, above the rotation bearing 18. This groove houses an upper rubber seal 21. The inner ring of this seal is an insert ring 22 that fits snugly into the groove. The seal 21 slopes downward from the inside out at an angle greater than 20 degrees.

The output end of the drive power element is connected to the input shaft 7 and drives the input shaft 7 to rotate. The input shaft 7 transmits power through the cooperation of the input bevel gear 8 and the output bevel gear 13, causing the output shaft 12 to rotate.
