Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gear boxes, in particular to a closed gear box with a water turbine power generation compression cooling system. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of technology and changes in industry needs, the application prospects of tunnel boring machines are broad, and tunnel boring machines play an important role in underground projects (such as tunnel construction, mining, etc.). However, the problem of gearbox heating has become a challenge. In traditional cooling, cooling water pipes are usually used for cooling, and this cooling method has some problems. First, the design and installation of the cooling water pipe system in the closed rotating gearbox of the tunnel boring machine is relatively complicated, and the cooling water pipes will be entangled, requiring professional technicians to operate, which increases the difficulty of construction and maintenance; second, the use of cooling water pipes or processing pipelines will cause a certain degree of damage to secondary mechanisms such as the roller, increase the difficulty of processing, and even cause failures.

[0003] Compression refrigeration technology is another widely used refrigeration method, primarily reducing temperatures by compressing and circulating a refrigerant. This technology plays a vital role in air conditioning, refrigeration, and industrial cooling. It boasts high cooling efficiency, effectively converting electrical energy into cooling capacity. Compared to other refrigeration technologies, compression refrigeration systems are relatively easy to maintain. However, their high energy consumption and the increased power required to operate the compressor in high-temperature environments have made this technology difficult to apply within the enclosed rotating gearbox of a roadheader.

[0004] In summary, cooling methods for the enclosed gearbox of the rotating drum are lacking during tunneling operations. Direct connection of the reduction gearbox to water pipes or external wiring is difficult, resulting in entanglement and difficult maintenance. The enclosed design complicates the inspection and replacement of internal components, increasing maintenance costs and time. Some existing technologies employ complex, cutaway cooling circuits, increasing system complexity and failure rates. Therefore, an effective cooling method for enclosed rotating reduction gearboxes is needed. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] The utility model provides a closed gear box 60 with a turbine power generation compression cooling system, which is implemented as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a housing 10, a drive motor 20, a rotating cylinder 30, a power generation mechanism 40 and a cooling mechanism 50; the housing 10 is provided with a drive motor 20 and a rotatable rotating cylinder 30; the drive motor 20 is used to drive the rotating cylinder 30 to rotate; a gear box 60 is provided in the rotating cylinder 30, and the gear box 60 is connected to the rotating cylinder 30 as a coaxial rotation structure, and a lubricating oil flow channel 61 is provided in the gear box 60, and the lubricating oil flow channel 61 is used to input lubricating oil flow; the power generation mechanism 40 includes a turbine 41, a generator rotor 42 and a generator stator 43; the turbine 41 is provided in the lubricating oil flow channel 61, and the turbine 41 is connected to the generator rotor 42 The turbine 41 is connected as a synchronous rotation structure, and in this embodiment, the turbine 41 is arranged as a lift turbine; the generator rotor 42 is rotatably arranged in the generator stator 43; the generator stator 43 is fixedly connected to the outside of the gear box 60 in the form of a coaxial rotation structure; the power generation mechanism 40 is used to supply power to the cooling mechanism 50; the cooling mechanism 50 includes a compressor 51, a conversion unit 52 and an evaporation pipe 53 connected in sequence as a circulation loop; the compressor 51 is used to generate refrigerant high-pressure gas to the conversion unit 52; the conversion unit 52 is used to generate low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant to the evaporation pipe 53; the evaporation pipe 53 surrounds the outside of the gear box 60.

[0033] During operation, lubricating oil can be externally introduced into the lubricating oil flow channel 61. The flow of lubricating oil will drive the turbine 41 to rotate, and the rotation of the turbine 41 will drive the generator rotor 42 to rotate. At this time, the drive motor 20 will drive the rotating cylinder 30 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating cylinder 30 will drive the gear box 60 and the generator stator 43 to rotate synchronously, thereby forming a reverse relative rotation between the generator rotor 42 and the generator stator 43 to generate electrical energy. Finally, the generated electrical energy will provide stable power for the compressor 51, so that the compressor 51 can absorb low-pressure refrigerant gas and convert it into high-pressure refrigerant gas, which is sent to the conversion unit 52. The conversion unit 52 then converts the high-pressure refrigerant gas into liquid refrigerant and sends it to the evaporation pipe 53. The liquid refrigerant at this time absorbs heat from the gear box 60 and the rotating cylinder 30, causing the liquid refrigerant to evaporate into low-pressure refrigerant gas, completing the refrigeration process. The low-pressure refrigerant gas will return to the compressor 51 for the next recycling.

[0034] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a gear box body 60 connected and fixed to the rotating cylinder 30, and the gear cavity 62 inside the gear box body 60 is provided with a sun gear 63, a plurality of planetary gears 64 meshing with the outer side of the sun gear 63, and a ring gear 65 meshing with the outer side of the plurality of planetary gears 64, and the ring gear 65 is connected and fixed to the gear box body 60; the drive motor 20 is connected to the sun gear 63 as a coaxial rotation structure.

[0035] After adopting this setting method, the gear box body 60 can be connected and fixed to the rotating cylinder body 30 with screws and bolts, so once the driving motor 20 is working, it will drive the sun gear 63 to rotate, and the rotation of the sun gear 63 will drive the multiple planetary gears 64 to rotate synchronously, and the rotation of the multiple planetary gears 64 will drive the ring gear 65 to rotate; since the ring gear 65 is connected and fixed to the gear box body 60, the rotation of the ring gear 65 will drive the gear box body 60 and the rotating cylinder body 30 to rotate synchronously.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of pick seats 31 separated from each other are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating cylinder 30 , and pick teeth 32 are provided on each of the plurality of pick seats 31 .

[0037] After adopting this setting mode, once the rotating cylinder 30 rotates, the rotating cylinder 30 will drive the pick seat 31 and the pick teeth 32 to rotate together, thereby realizing the excavation work.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a lubricating oil inlet 66 and a lubricating oil outlet 67 are provided on the gear box body 60. The lubricating oil inlet 66 and the lubricating oil outlet 67 are both connected to the interior of the gear cavity 62, and the interior of the gear cavity 62 is also connected to the inlet and outlet of the lubricating oil flow channel 61.

[0039] After adopting this setting method, the lubricating oil can not only enter the gear cavity 62 through the lubricating oil inlet 66 to lubricate each gear in the gear cavity 62, but the lubricating oil can also further flow into the lubricating oil flow channel 61 for circulation, thereby providing working power for the turbine 41 and achieving the purpose of power generation by the power generation mechanism 40.

[0040] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the drive motor 20 is configured as a dual-shaft generator, and gear boxes 60 are provided on opposite sides of the drive motor 20. The two ends of the generator rotor 42 are respectively connected to the turbines 41 in the two gear boxes 60 to form a coaxial rotation structure.

[0041] After adopting this setting, once entering the working state, lubricating oil will be input into the two gear boxes 60 to drive the turbines 41 to work, so the two turbines 41 will be able to jointly drive the dual-shaft generator to generate electricity, so as to provide a more stable power supply for the compressor 51.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, an insulating fixing sleeve 44 is connected between the generator stator 43 and the gear box body 60.

[0043] After adopting this setting method, the insulation setting between the generator stator 43 and the gear box 60 can be ensured, which not only avoids affecting the normal operation of the power generation mechanism 40, but also realizes the stable installation of the generator stator 43.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the conversion unit 52 includes a condenser 521 and a capillary tube 522 , and the compressor 51 , the condenser 521 , the capillary tube 522 and the evaporation tube 53 are sequentially connected to form a circulation loop.

[0045] After adopting this setting method, when the compressor 51 absorbs the low-pressure refrigerant gas and converts it into high-pressure refrigerant gas and sends it to the conversion unit 52, the high-pressure refrigerant gas will first be sent to the condenser 521 so that the condenser 521 can exchange heat with the external environment, release heat, and condense the high-pressure refrigerant gas into liquid; then the liquid refrigerant will be sent to the capillary tube 522, and the capillary tube 522 will reduce the pressure and temperature of the liquid refrigerant, so that the liquid refrigerant becomes a low-pressure and low-temperature state; finally, the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant is sent to the evaporator tube 53, and the liquid refrigerant will absorb heat from the gear box 60 and the inside of the rotating cylinder 30, so that the liquid refrigerant evaporates into a gas state, completing the refrigeration process, and the low-pressure refrigerant gas will return to the compressor 51 again for the next cycle.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a filter 523 is connected between the condenser 521 and the capillary tube 522 .

[0047] After adopting this configuration, the liquid refrigerant can be filtered of impurities by the filter 523 to ensure that the cooling mechanism 50 can always be in a stable working state.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a fan 11 is provided on the housing 10 , and the fan 11 is used to dissipate heat from the condenser 521 .

[0049] After adopting this configuration, the fan 11 can accelerate the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser 521, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the cooling mechanism.

[0050] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the power generation mechanism 40 further includes a battery 44 . The power generation mechanism 40 is electrically connected to the cooling mechanism 50 via the battery 44 . The battery 44 is used to store the electrical energy generated by the power generation mechanism 40 to supply power to the cooling mechanism 50 .

[0051] After adopting this setting, even if the generator rotor 42 and the generator stator 43 have unstable speed, the generated electricity will first be stored in the battery 44, and then the battery 44 will provide stable electricity to the cooling mechanism 50, thereby ensuring the working stability of the cooling mechanism 50.

[0052] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
