Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of transmission maintenance structures, in particular to a planetary gear type speed differential for locomotives. Background Art
[0002] The planetary gear type variable speed differential used in locomotives combines the dual functions of planetary gear mechanisms and differentials. It can not only meet the speed change requirements of electric vehicles, but also realize differential control. Its core part is the planetary gear mechanism, which is composed of a sun gear, planetary gears, a planetary carrier and a ring gear. The transmission ratio is adjusted through the different motion relationships between the components to achieve flexible speed change. At the same time, its special gear setting enables the drive wheels to rotate at different speeds and automatically adjust the wheel speed to meet the different driving requirements of the inner and outer wheels when turning. This type of variable speed differential is widely used in electric vehicles due to its compact structure, high transmission efficiency, smooth shifting and good maneuverability. Especially for models that require flexible speed change and differential control, according to actual needs, different gears and transmission ratios can be achieved by combining two to three sets of planetary gear mechanisms to adapt to the diverse driving needs of electric vehicles.
[0003] The existing planetary gear type speed differential for locomotives will gradually produce noise during long-term use. The main reason is insufficient lubricating oil. Lubricating oil plays a vital role in lubrication and cooling during the operation of the differential. If the amount of lubricating oil is insufficient, the gears and bearings inside the differential cannot be fully lubricated, the friction coefficient increases, and then a harsh noise is generated during high-speed operation. In addition, the lack of lubricating oil may also cause the temperature inside the differential to rise, accelerate the wear of the components, and further affect the performance and life of the differential. However, the existing method of adding lubricating oil is mainly through a catheter, and then people gently suck it through their mouths, and then introduce the lubricating oil into the differential through the filling port. This method has obvious defects, such as this This method of suctioning through the mouth is not only unhygienic but may also pose a threat to human health, because harmful chemicals that may be contained in the lubricant may cause damage to the respiratory tract and digestive system once inhaled or contacted. Secondly, the operation process is cumbersome and inefficient, requiring manual operation, which is not only time-consuming but also easily leads to oil waste. It is particularly impractical for large-scale or frequent lubricant additions. Furthermore, it is difficult to accurately control the amount of lubricant added through mouth suction. Too much or too little oil may affect the normal operation of the differential, and accurate oil quantity is crucial to maintaining the performance of the differential and extending its service life. Finally, the lubricant is prone to dripping or splashing during this process, which not only pollutes the environment but also damages the cleanliness of the workplace and the integrity of the equipment.
