DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; and direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a main reducer with an oil baffle structure includes a driving bevel gear 3, a driven bevel gear 4 and an oil baffle; the driving bevel gear 3 and the driven bevel gear 4 are meshed with each other and rotatably supported in a bridge housing 5; the oil baffle is fixed to the bridge housing 5 and wraps the lower parts of the driving bevel gear 3 and the driven bevel gear 4 to block most or all of the gear oil on the outside of the oil baffle; the oil baffle is clearance-fitted with the driving and driven bevel gears 3 and 4 to prevent interference with the rotation of the driving and driven bevel gears 3 and 4.

[0036] The above-mentioned oil baffle is further described below.

[0037] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the oil baffle is an integral structure, which strengthens the overall rigidity. It is mainly composed of a main bevel gear guard plate 1 and a secondary bevel gear guard plate 2 that are vertically cross-welded or integrally cast.

[0038] In the preferred solution, the oil baffle is welded by the main bevel gear guard plate 1 and the secondary bevel gear guard plate 2. The axial width of the oil baffle is 10 mm larger than the gear width, a 5 mm gap is retained on one side, and the upper end surface of the oil baffle is 10 mm higher than the oil level.

[0039] The following is a further description of the secondary bevel gear guard and the primary bevel gear guard.

[0040] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the slave bevel gear guard plate 2 is a C-shaped groove structure consisting of an inner arc plate 21, an outer arc plate I 22 and a bottom arc plate I 23. The lower part of the driven bevel gear 4 is located in the slave bevel gear guard plate 2; the main bevel gear guard plate 1 is composed of an outer arc plate II 11 and a bottom arc plate II 12. The inner side surface of the bottom arc plate II 12 is fitted together with the bridge housing 5, and the lower part of the driving bevel gear 3 is located in the main bevel gear guard plate 1.

[0041] For further solutions, please refer to Figure 3-Figure 8 As shown, the outer arc upright plate I22 is provided with a right-angle notch 31 at the joint with the outer arc upright plate II11 and the bottom arc plate II12, and the bottom arc plate I22 is provided with an inwardly concave arc notch 32 at the joint with the bottom arc plate II12; the bottom arc plate II12 is provided with a special-shaped notch 33 at the joint with the bottom arc plate I23 and the outer arc upright plate I22.

[0042] The following further describes the solution of connecting the oil baffle to the bridge housing.

[0043] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a connecting plate 41 is fixed on the top of the joint between the bottom arc plate I23 and the bottom arc plate II12, and a mounting plate I42 extending upward and having a through hole is fixed on the connecting plate 41. The mounting plate I42 is fixed to the bridge housing 5 by bolts.

[0044] It should be noted that the through hole on the mounting plate I 42 is an elongated hole, and its mounting position can be fine-tuned when the oil baffle is installed.

[0045] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a downwardly extending mounting plate II 43 with through holes is fixed to the inner periphery of the radially outer circumference of the bottom arc plate II 12. Mounting plate II 43 is bolted to the axle housing 5. An outwardly extending mounting plate III 44 with through holes is fixed to the outer sides of each of the inner arc plate 21 and the outer arc plate I 22 of the bevel gear guard 2. Both mounting plates III 44 are bolted to the axle housing 5.

[0046] It should be noted that the through hole of the mounting plate III 44 on the inner arc-shaped vertical plate 21 is an elongated hole, and its mounting position can be fine-tuned when the oil baffle is installed.

[0047] Further solutions, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, an oil inlet hole 51 for entering a small amount of gear oil to lubricate the driving and driven bevel gears 3 and 4 is provided at the center position of the lowest area of ​​the bottom arc plate I 23 and the bottom arc plate II 12.

[0048] It should be noted that the diameter of the oil inlet hole 51 is 8.5 mm, which should not be too large, otherwise the oil inlet volume of the entire oil baffle cavity will be very large, which will only increase the oil stirring loss.

[0049] In summary, the utility model provides a main reducer with an oil baffle structure, wherein the oil baffle is composed of a main bevel gear guard plate and a slave bevel gear guard plate that are vertically cross-welded. The main bevel gear guard plate and the slave bevel gear guard plate are respectively provided with an oil inlet hole, and the oil inlet hole is set to a small diameter. When the drive axle rotates, most of the gear oil inside the oil baffle is thrown out. Due to the high rotation speed of the main and driven bevel gears, under the action of centrifugal force, the lubricating oil on the outside of the oil baffle cannot flow into the oil baffle. At this time, only a small amount of gear oil enters the oil baffle through the two oil inlet holes. Since the diameters of the two oil inlet holes are small, the gear oil entering can meet the lubrication of the active bevel gear and the driven bevel gear without generating excess oil stirring loss. Moreover, the main bevel gear guard plate fits together with the bridge housing to prevent excess gear oil from entering the oil baffle in all directions, which more effectively improves the transmission efficiency of the transmission system.
