AI Technical Summary
The lubricating oil pump design of existing hydraulic retarders has problems of poor lubrication and cooling effect, especially because the gap between the oil pump and the middle cover causes the oil path to be too long, making it impossible to effectively lubricate and cool the bearings and oil seals.
A flow guide structure is designed, including an oil guide sleeve. The first end of the oil guide sleeve is intersected with the oil outlet hole of the oil pump, and the second end is inserted into the oil guide hole of the hydraulic retarder's middle cover, and there is a gap between the second end and the oil guide hole. The first end and the second end of the oil guide sleeve are stepped to ensure that the lubricating oil can better flow through the hydraulic retarder's middle cover.
Through the design of the flow guide structure, the flow efficiency of the lubricating oil is improved, and better lubrication and cooling effect of bearings and oil seals is achieved.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of hydraulic retarders, in particular to a flow guide structure of a lubricating oil pump of a hydraulic retarder. Background Art
[0002] A hydraulic retarder is an auxiliary braking device that operates when a vehicle is slowing or stopping. In the absence of external oil, that is, when in the closed state, the retarder is equipped with an internal lubricating oil pump to ensure adequate lubrication of the internal bearings and oil seals. The lubricating oil pump is mounted on the center cover and has an oil outlet on the end face of the pump body. Due to the gap between the pump body and the end face of the housing, the oil pumped by the lubricating oil pump is discharged through this gap and specific oil holes in the center cover, ultimately reaching the bearings and oil seals, achieving lubrication and cooling.
[0003] However, existing lubrication methods have several drawbacks. First, the lubrication oil pump is a low-pressure type, which means it may not be efficient in providing lubrication and cooling. Second, the clearance between the pump body and the center cover causes the oil to travel a long path between the pump outlet and the oil holes in the center cover. This can increase the distance the oil has to travel to reach the bearings and oil seals, resulting in suboptimal lubrication and cooling. Consequently, the current design suffers from inadequate lubrication and cooling of the bearings and oil seals. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a hydraulic retarder lubricating oil pump diversion structure, comprising an oil pump and a hydraulic retarder middle cover, the oil pump being installed on the hydraulic retarder middle cover, an oil outlet hole being provided on the housing of the oil pump, an oil guide sleeve being embedded in the oil outlet hole, the oil guide sleeve having a first end and a second end, the first end being located in the oil outlet hole, and the second end protruding from the housing end surface of the oil pump, an oil guide hole being provided at a position of the hydraulic retarder middle cover corresponding to the oil outlet hole, and when the oil pump and the hydraulic retarder middle cover are installed, the second end of the oil guide sleeve is inserted into the oil guide hole.
[0005] Furthermore, the aperture of the first end of the oil guide sleeve is larger than the aperture of the second end.
[0006] Furthermore, the diameter of the oil guide hole is larger than the diameter of the second end of the oil guide sleeve, and there is a gap between the second end and the oil guide hole.
[0007] Furthermore, the first end and the second end of the oil guide sleeve are stepped.
[0008] Furthermore, the oil guide sleeve gradually contracts from the first end toward the second end.
[0009] Furthermore, the oil outlet hole and the first end of the oil guide sleeve are interference fit.
[0010] By means of the oil guide sleeve of the utility model, the lubricating oil in the oil pump can flow through the middle cover of the hydraulic retarder in a better manner, so that the bearing and the oil seal have a better lubrication and cooling effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] The main function of the lubricating oil pump diversion structure of this utility model is to lubricate the bearings and oil seals after the lubricating oil is discharged from the oil pump through the hydraulic retarder middle cover. Figure 1-Figure 4The hydraulic retarder lubricating oil pump diversion structure proposed in the utility model includes an oil pump 1 and a hydraulic retarder middle cover 2. The oil pump 1 is installed on the hydraulic retarder middle cover 2. An oil outlet hole 11 is provided on the housing of the oil pump 1. An oil guide sleeve 3 is embedded in the oil outlet hole 11. The oil guide sleeve 3 has a first end 31 and a second end 32. The oil outlet hole 11 and the first end 31 of the oil guide sleeve 3 are interference fit, and the aperture of the first end 31 of the oil guide sleeve 3 is larger than the aperture of the second end 32. At the same time, when installed, the first end 31 is located in the oil outlet hole 11, and the second end 32 protrudes from the end surface of the housing of the oil pump 1.
[0029] An oil guide hole 21 is provided in the hydraulic retarder's middle cover 2 at a position corresponding to the oil outlet hole 11. When the oil pump 1 is installed with the hydraulic retarder's middle cover 2, the second end 32 of the oil guide sleeve 3 is inserted into the oil guide hole 21. The diameter of the oil guide hole 21 is larger than the diameter of the second end 32 of the oil guide sleeve 3, creating a gap between the second end 32 and the oil guide hole 21. Furthermore, it is important to note that when the second end 32 of the oil guide sleeve 3 is inserted into the oil guide hole 21, the end surface of the second end 32 does not protrude beyond the end surface of the hydraulic retarder's middle cover 2. In this embodiment, the first end 31 and second end 32 of the oil guide sleeve 3 are stepped.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 5 In another embodiment, the oil guide sleeve 3 tapers from the first end 31 toward the second end 32 .
[0031] By means of the oil guide sleeve of the utility model, the lubricating oil in the oil pump can flow through the middle cover of the hydraulic retarder in a better manner, so that the bearing and the oil seal have a better lubrication and cooling effect.
[0032] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. Unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, ordinary technicians in this field can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention according to specific circumstances.
