[0025] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 , a sandwich water-cooled oil tank device of this embodiment includes an oil tank body 1, the oil tank body 1 is formed with a bearing chamber 2 for accommodating bearings and an oil chamber 3 for accommodating lubricating oil 20, the bearing chamber 2 and the oil chamber 3 are welded to form an inner connecting plate 4 on the outer wall, an outer connecting plate 5 is welded to the outer side of the inner connecting plate 4, a cooling chamber 6 is formed between the inner connecting plate 4 and the outer connecting plate 5, and cooling water 21 is introduced into the cooling chamber 6 to realize heat exchange between the oil chamber 3 and the cooling chamber 6.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 The bearing chamber 2 is cylindrical, and an opening 7 for placing the bearing is formed on one side of the bearing chamber 2 along the axial direction, and a shaft hole 8 for the shaft to pass through is formed on the other side.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 A columnar connecting ring 9 is welded at the opening 7 of the bearing chamber 2. The axis of the connecting ring 9 coincides with the axis of the bearing chamber 2. A flange 10 is formed at the end of the connecting ring 9 away from the bearing chamber 2, and a mounting hole 11 is provided on the flange 10.

[0030] Reference Figure 1A circular sealing ring 12 is welded at the shaft hole 8 of the bearing chamber 2 , and the sealing ring 12 is fixed by a reinforcing rib 13 welded on the bearing chamber 2 .

[0031] Reference Figure 2 An oil overflow hole is formed between the bearing chamber 2 and the oil chamber 3, which passes through the bearing chamber 2 and the oil chamber 3. When the bearing is placed in the bearing chamber 2, a part of the bearing is placed in the oil chamber 3 at the same time.

[0032] The cylindrical bearing chamber 2 is constructed from high-strength alloy steel sheet metal through a rolling process, ensuring sufficient strength and precision for its cylindrical wall. The connecting ring 9, located at the end away from the bearing chamber 2, features mounting holes 11, with diameters and positions determined based on actual installation requirements, used to secure the entire assembly to the corresponding equipment base.

[0033] The oil chamber 3 is constructed of a material compatible with the bearing chamber 2, ensuring a well-sealed structure after welding. The oil overflow hole 14 between the oil chamber 3 and the bearing chamber 2 is machined to have a moderate diameter and smooth inner wall, allowing lubricating oil 20 to enter the bearing chamber 2 through the oil overflow hole 14. When the bearing is placed in the bearing chamber 2, the oil overflow hole 14 allows a portion of the bearing to be immersed in the lubricating oil 20 in the oil chamber 3, thereby achieving adequate lubrication of the bearing.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 An oil filling pipe 19 is provided on the inner connecting plate 4 at one end of the bearing chamber 2, and an oil drain pipe 15 is provided on the inner connecting plate 4 at one end of the oil chamber 3.

[0035] A water injection pipe 16 and a water outlet pipe 17 are respectively provided on the outer connecting plate 5 at one end of the bearing chamber 2 , and a sewage discharge pipe 18 is provided on the outer connecting plate 5 at one end of the oil containing chamber 3 .

[0036] Reference Figure 5 The outer connecting plate 5 is arranged around the outer periphery of the inner connecting plate 4, and the inner contour of the outer connecting plate 5 is conformal to the outer contour of the inner connecting plate 4. The distance between the inner connecting plate 4 and the outer connecting plate 5 at one end of the bearing chamber 2 is smaller than the distance between the inner connecting plate 4 and the outer connecting plate 5 at one end of the oil chamber 3.

[0037] The outer connecting plate 5 is arranged around the outer periphery of the inner connecting plate 4, and the conformal structure of the two makes the spatial distribution of the cooling chamber 6 uniform, which is conducive to the uniform flow of cooling water 21. The distance between the inner connecting plate 4 and the outer connecting plate 5 at one end of the bearing chamber 2 is smaller than the distance between the inner connecting plate 4 and the outer connecting plate 5 at one end of the oil chamber 3. Figure 5As shown, d1 is smaller than d2. This design is based on the characteristic that heat generated in the bearing chamber is relatively concentrated. By reducing the volume of the cooling chamber 6 in this area, the flow rate of the cooling water 21 in this area is relatively accelerated, thereby enhancing the cooling effect on the bearing.

[0038] The inner connecting plate 4 is formed with a stripe-shaped protrusion on one side of the cooling chamber 6, which is not shown in the figure.

[0039] The striped protrusions formed on the inner connecting plate 4 on one side of the cooling chamber 6 are processed by a stamping process. These striped protrusions can destroy the laminar flow state of the water flow during the flow of the cooling water 21, causing it to form turbulent flow, thereby increasing the contact area and contact time between the cooling water 21 and the inner connecting plate 4, and improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0040] The oil containing chamber 3 is provided with a transparent observation window 22 for observing the height of the oil filling.

[0041] During operation, lubricating oil 20 is injected into the oil chamber 3 through the oil filling pipe 19. When the liquid level of the lubricating oil 20 reaches a certain height, it will enter the bearing chamber 2 through the oil overflow hole to lubricate the bearing. As the bearing runs, the heat generated is transferred to the lubricating oil 20. The lubricating oil 20 with increased temperature exchanges heat with the cooling water 21 in the cooling chamber 6. The cooling water 21 enters the cooling chamber 6 from the water filling pipe 16, absorbs the heat of the lubricating oil 20 during the flow in the cooling chamber 6, and then flows out from the water outlet pipe 17 to form a circulating cooling system. The sewage pipe 18 is used to regularly discharge impurities or sediments that may be generated in the cooling chamber 6 to ensure the cleanliness and cooling effect of the cooling water 21.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
