Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of mining transport vehicles and relates to a spline lubrication structure, mainly to a spline lubrication structure of a transmission system of a mining transport vehicle. Background Art
[0002] With the booming global and domestic economies, the demand for coal, as well as ferrous and nonferrous metal ores, has continued to rise both domestically and internationally. This trend has spurred the development of large-scale mining haulers, which emerged as the times progressed. Initially, mining areas used traditional mechanical mining haulers, but as demand grew, large-tonnage mining haulers began to enter mining areas and became the mainstream.
[0003] Traditional mechanical mining haulers face limitations in large-tonnage applications. To overcome these limitations, electric-driven mining haulers have been introduced. These vehicles are renowned for their large tonnage, powerful power, excellent gradeability, and high haul efficiency. Despite their modest speeds, they offer impressive quality and utilization. These characteristics have made them a primary transportation tool in open-pit mines, significantly reducing mining costs and meeting the needs of mining operations both domestically and internationally.
[0004] From a transmission system perspective, the application of electric drive technology in ultra-large mining haulers has already taken a dominant position in this market segment due to its unique advantages. With its high efficiency, stability, and ease of maintenance, electric drive systems provide powerful power support for large mining haulers, further promoting the modernization and efficiency of the mining industry.
[0005] Traditionally, key connections, such as flat keys and wedge keys, are used to connect traction motors to input shafts. These connections are simple and low-cost, but can lead to wear or damage due to stress concentration at the connection when subjected to high loads or high-speed rotation.
[0006] To improve the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the connection while reducing stress concentration, spline connection technology came into being. Spline connection transmits torque between two shafts through a series of interlocking tooth structures. Its design allows for a larger contact area and more uniform torque distribution.
[0007] While spline connections are highly effective in mechanical transmission, they also face lubrication challenges. Without proper lubrication, the tooth structure of a spline connection, operating under high loads, can lead to increased wear at the spline connection, reducing transmission efficiency, especially in high-speed or heavy-load applications.
[0008] Traditional lubrication methods, such as oil bath lubrication or splash lubrication, are unable to meet the lubrication needs of spline connections due to uneven distribution of the lubricant or inadequate lubrication. In addition, these methods may cause other problems due to excessive lubricant or contamination. Summary of the Invention

[0035] Example:
[0036] This embodiment provides a spline lubrication structure for a mining transport vehicle transmission system, including a traction motor 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the traction motor 1 includes a traction motor output shaft 2, which is connected to one end of a spline connecting sleeve 3, and the other end of the spline connecting sleeve 3 is connected to one end of a reducer input shaft 4. An axially through-hole 5 is provided in the reducer input shaft 4.
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the other end of the reducer input shaft 4 is coaxially provided with a sun gear 6, and the sun gear 6 is provided with an oil guide hole 7, which is connected to the channel 5;
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the sun gear 6 is axially aligned and connected to the oil guide end cover 8 , and the oil guide end cover 8 is provided with an oil guide groove 9 , which is connected to the channel 5 .
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, a first threaded hole 10 is provided inside the side of the traction motor output shaft 2 close to the oil guide end cover 8, and a hexagonal flange bolt 11 is provided in the first threaded hole 10. One end of the hexagonal flange bolt 11 is placed in the first threaded hole 10 to limit the reducer input shaft 4. A notch 12 is provided on the inner surface of the end of one end of the reducer input shaft 4. The notch 12 is located at the other end of the channel 5. The other end of the hexagonal flange bolt 11 is coaxially mounted with a sun gear mounting sleeve 13. The sun gear mounting sleeve 13 consists of a hollow first cylinder 1301 and a second cylinder 1302. The first cylinder 1301 and the second cylinder 1302 have the same inner diameter, and there is a first gap 14 between the inner surface of the first cylinder 1301 and the second cylinder 1302 and the hexagonal flange bolt 11, the side surface of the first cylinder 1301 contacts the outer surface of the side of the traction motor output shaft 2 close to the oil guide end cover 8, the outer surface of the second cylinder 1302 contacts the inner surface of one end of the notch 12, and there is a second gap 15 between the outer surface of one side of the upper end of the second cylinder 1302 and the side surface of the notch 12, and the outer surface of the other side of the upper end of the second cylinder 1302 is connected to the sun gear positioning retaining ring 16.
[0040] like Figure 2As shown, the sun gear positioning ring 16 is composed of a hollow third cylinder 1601 and a fourth cylinder 1602. The inner diameters of the third cylinder 1601 and the fourth cylinder 1602 are the same. The outer surface of the third cylinder 1601 contacts the inner surface of the other end of the notch 12. The fourth cylinder 1602 is provided with a first inner hole 17. The middle end of one end of the reducer input shaft 4 is provided with a second threaded hole 18. The outer diameter of the fourth cylinder 1602 is smaller than the outer diameter of the reducer input shaft 4. The inner diameter of the first inner hole 17 is larger than the inner diameter of the second threaded hole 18. Bolts 19 are provided in the first inner hole 17 and the first threaded hole 18. The bolts 19 tightly connect the fourth cylinder 1602 and the end of one end of the reducer input shaft 4. There is a third gap 20 between the bolt 18 and the inner surface of the first inner hole 16.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, a fourth gap 21 is formed between the first cylinder 1301 , the second cylinder 1302 , the third cylinder 1601 , the fourth cylinder 1602 , the traction motor output shaft 2 , the reducer input shaft 4 and the spline connection sleeve 3 .
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, a first external spline 22 is provided on one end of the traction motor output shaft 2 connected to the spline connecting sleeve 3, a second external spline 23 is provided on the outer surface of one end of the reducer input shaft 4, and an internal spline 24 is provided on the inner surface of the spline connecting sleeve 3. The first external spline 22 and the second external spline 23 are connected through the internal spline 24.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, a motor rotating shaft 25 is provided inside the traction motor output shaft 2 .
[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the second inner holes 26 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the oil guide end cover 8.
[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the oil guide end cover 8 and the reducer input shaft 4 are connected by bolts 19, which can facilitate the subsequent disassembly of the reducer input shaft 4, making it convenient to add lubricating oil to the channel 5. At the same time, when the reducer input shaft 4 fails, it is also convenient to disassemble and repair.
[0046] Specifically in this embodiment, the spline connection sleeve 3 connects the traction motor output shaft 2 and the reducer input shaft 4 respectively, ensuring a close fit of the machinery.
[0047] Specifically in this embodiment, the oil guide groove 9 provided on the oil guide end cover 8 can guide the lubricating oil to the channel 5 in the reducer input shaft 4. By utilizing the axial floating principle of the reducer input shaft 4, the lubricating oil can smoothly reach the interior of the spline connection sleeve 3, thereby achieving continuous and effective lubrication of the spline connection part.
[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sun gear 6 is connected to the oil guide end cover 8 in an axially aligned manner, ensuring that the lubricating oil can smoothly enter the oil guide groove 9 through the oil guide hole 7 and then flow into the channel 5 .
[0049] Specifically in this embodiment, the first external spline 22 and the second external spline 23 are connected by the internal spline 24, and the sun gear mounting sleeve 13 and the sun gear locating retaining ring 16 are tightly fixed by the bolts 19, which not only accurately determines the axial position of the reducer input shaft 4, but also allows a second gap 15 between the sun gear mounting sleeve 13 and the reducer input shaft 4, so that the reducer input shaft 4 can achieve axial micro-motion.
[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the traction motor 1 generates output, the traction motor output shaft 2 rotates, which in turn drives the reducer input shaft 4, thereby causing the sun gear 6 and the oil guide cover 8 to rotate. As the sun gear 6 rotates, it draws some lubricating oil into the channel 5 through the oil guide holes 7 in its tooth grooves. Simultaneously, during operation of the transport vehicle, lubricating oil also flows into the channel 5 through the oil guide grooves 9. By leveraging the floating nature of the sun gear on the reducer input shaft 4, the lubricating oil can smoothly enter the interior of the splined connection sleeve 3.
