[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention is a flameproof three-stage transmission gearbox for an electric anchor winch, comprising a gearbox body 1, wherein a high-speed large gear shaft 2, a low-speed small gear shaft 3 and an output shaft 4 are installed inside the gearbox body 1; the high-speed large gear shaft 2, the low-speed small gear shaft 3 and the output shaft 4 are connected via a gear combination transmission;

[0028] The gearbox 1 is equipped with an explosion-proof sensor 5 for detecting the force applied to the high-speed gear shaft 2. The explosion-proof sensor 5 includes an elastomer 6, which is mounted on the gearbox 1. The shaft end of the high-speed gear shaft 2 is connected to the elastomer 6 via a high-speed end bearing. The outer end of the elastomer 6 is provided with an end cap 7. The gearbox 1 is fixed with an explosion-proof junction box 8 electrically connected to the bridge in the elastomer 6. The outer side of the end cap 7 is fixed with an outlet wire protection cover 9. The high-speed gear shaft 10, the low-speed pinion shaft 3, and the output shaft 4 are connected via a gear combination transmission, thus achieving a three-stage transmission. The gearbox is equipped with an explosion-proof sensor 5 for detecting the force applied to the high-speed gear shaft 10. The force measuring direction of the elastomer 6 is at a certain angle to the end cap 7, which is consistent with the force angle of the high-speed end bearing. The wire outlet protection cover 9 is fixed to the outside of the end cover 7 with bolts and sealed with glue; the end cover 7 is welded to the elastomer 6 as a whole to ensure the explosion-proof effect. The bridge in the elastomer 6 generates an electrical signal and transmits it to the explosion-proof junction box 8, and then transmits it to the electrical control cabinet through a cable to measure the force on the gearbox; in this way, the force state of the gearbox can be detected to avoid the operation risk of the gearbox. By installing the explosion-proof sensor 5 on the gearbox body, the elastomer of the sensor is connected to the shaft end of the high-speed large gear shaft and is sealed by the end cover and the wire outlet protection cover. The integrated design of the elastomer and the end cover enhances the explosion-proof effect and is convenient for disassembly and maintenance. The explosion-proof junction box and the wire outlet protection cover together ensure the safe connection and transmission of the sensor cable, preventing sparks or explosions in an explosion-proof environment.

[0029] The operating principle of the explosion-proof sensor 5 is that when the shaft 2 of the high-speed gear 10 is subjected to force, the elastomer 6 undergoes a slight deformation, which is converted into an electrical signal change in the bridge. The electrical signal is then transmitted to the electrical control cabinet via an explosion-proof junction box and cables for force analysis and calculation. This design enables real-time monitoring of the stress state of the high-speed gear shaft, and thus the gearbox itself, ensuring safe operation in environments with strict explosion-proof requirements and contributing to the safety and reliability of the electrical system.

[0030] In specialized environments like ocean-going tankers and liquefied gas carriers, electrical equipment must meet stringent explosion-proof requirements. This utility model utilizes flameproof sensors, explosion-proof junction boxes, and wire protection covers to ensure safe operation of the gearbox in explosion-proof environments, eliminating the risk of explosions caused by electrical failures.

[0031] The gear assembly includes a high-speed gear 10 and a secondary pinion 11 provided on the high-speed gear shaft 2. The low-speed pinion shaft 3 is provided with a secondary gear 12. The output shaft 4 is provided with a low-speed gear 13. The secondary pinion 11 meshes with the secondary gear 12, and the low-speed gear 13 meshes with the low-speed pinion shaft 3. The high-speed gear 10 is provided with a motor pinion 14 on the motor shaft, which meshes with the high-speed gear 10. The motor shaft drives the motor pinion 14 to rotate, and the motor pinion meshes with the high-speed gear 10, thereby driving the high-speed gear shaft 2 to rotate. The high-speed gear shaft 2, in turn, drives the low-speed pinion shaft 3 to rotate through the meshing action of the secondary pinion 11 and the secondary gear 12. The low-speed pinion shaft 3 then drives the output shaft 4 through the low-speed gear 13, thereby achieving a three-stage transmission. The three-stage transmission allows the gearbox reduction ratio to be adjusted over a wide range to adapt to different loads of the anchor winch. The three-stage transmission provides more flexible transmission ratio selection, allowing the electric anchor winch to operate efficiently under various working conditions.

[0032] The gearbox 1 is secured with a cover 15 bolted to the top, facilitating disassembly and maintenance. An explosion-proof junction box 8 is also bolted to the gearbox 1. The end cap 7 of the explosion-proof sensor 5 extends from the bottom of the wire protection cover 9 and connects to the explosion-proof junction box 8. Wires then exit from the bottom of the explosion-proof junction box 8 and pass through the wiring conduit of the gearbox to connect to the electrical control cabinet. The cover design makes the gearbox interior easily accessible for maintenance and inspection.

[0033] The high-speed gear 10 and the secondary pinion 11 are axially fixed to the high-speed gear shaft 2 via a gear spacer ring. The ends of the low-speed pinion shaft 3 are connected to the gearbox 1 via low-speed bearings. The two ends of the output shaft 4 are mounted on the gearbox 1 via low-speed end bearings. The gearbox 1 is equipped with a vent pipe to help balance the pressure inside the gearbox and reduce malfunctions caused by pressure changes.

[0034] The gear box body 1 is provided with an observation window 16 so as to facilitate viewing the internal operating conditions. The gear box body is also provided with a liquid level gauge 17 so as to facilitate detecting the liquid level of the lubricating oil in the gear box body and to replenish it in time.

[0035] During operation, the explosion-proof three-stage transmission gearbox for electric anchor winch, the motor shaft drives the motor pinion 14 to rotate, the motor pinion engages with the high-speed gearwheel 10, and then drives the high-speed gearwheel shaft 2 to rotate, and the high-speed gearwheel shaft 2 drives the low-speed pinion shaft 3 to rotate through the meshing action of the secondary pinion 11 and the secondary gearwheel 12, and the low-speed pinion shaft 3 drives the output shaft 4 through the low-speed gearwheel 13, thereby realizing three-stage transmission. The three-stage transmission can adjust the gearbox reduction ratio over a large range to adapt to anchor winches with different loads; the high-speed gearwheel 10 shaft 2, the low-speed pinion shaft 3 and the output shaft 4 are connected through a gear combination transmission, thus realizing three-stage transmission, and the gearbox body is equipped with an explosion-proof sensor 5 for force detection of the high-speed gearwheel 10 shaft 2, wherein the force measuring direction of the elastomer 6 is at a certain angle to the end cover 7, which is consistent with the force angle of the high-speed end bearing. The wire protection cover 9 is fixed to the outside of the end cover 7 with bolts and sealed with glue; the end cover 7 is welded to the elastomer 6 as a whole to ensure the explosion-proof effect. The bridge in the elastomer 6 generates an electrical signal and transmits it to the explosion-proof junction box 8, and then transmits it to the electrical control cabinet through a cable to measure the force on the gearbox; in this way, the force state of the gearbox can be detected to avoid operational risks of the gearbox.
