[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and beneficial effects of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme of the utility model is further explained below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.
[0021] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the utility model provides a general speed reducer ventilation labyrinth structure 3, including box 1, its inside is equipped with labyrinth structure 3, its outside is equipped with air exchange valve 2, and air exchange valve 2 and labyrinth structure 3 are communicated through the ventilation groove on the box 1,
[0022] Labyrinth structure 3 includes first shell 401, second shell 402, third shell 403 and fourth shell 404, first shell 401 is connected to be equipped in the box 1, and the periphery side is arranged as circular arc, the bottom of first shell 401 is arranged as cone and is equipped with first communication groove 601, second shell 402 is arranged as inverted cone and both ends are connected to the inner periphery side of first shell 401, and it is equipped with second communication groove 602, and second shell 402 divides first shell 401 into first cavity 501 and second cavity 502, third shell 403 is arranged as inverted cone and both ends are connected to the box 1 and are equipped in second cavity 502, and form third cavity 503, the bottom of third shell 403 is arranged as circular arc and is equipped with third communication groove 603, fourth shell 404 is arranged as inverted cone, and both ends are arranged on the both sides of ventilation groove respectively and are equipped in third cavity 503, form fourth cavity 504, and fourth shell 404 is equipped with fourth communication groove 604.
[0023] In the embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The inside of the box 1 is provided with a lubricating oil and air mixture. In operation, the lubricating oil and air mixture enters the first cavity 501 through the first communication groove 601 on the first shell 401. Under the action of the R-arc surface and the inverted taper surface on the periphery of the first shell 401, most of the lubricating oil is intercepted and flows back to the box 1 through the communication groove, and only a small amount of lubricating oil enters the second cavity 502 through the second communication groove 602, while the flow of air is not affected. The lubricating oil entering the second cavity 502 is turned back under the action of the cavity arc surface and flows back to the first cavity 501 from the second communication groove 602, while the air can still flow smoothly without being affected. The mixture that can subsequently enter the third cavity 503 and the fourth cavity 504 contains a large proportion of air and a small amount of oil gas. Under the action of heat exchange, a small amount of oil gas in the mixture may condense and change into liquid again. However, the oil liquid generated by the change has almost no initial speed and will flow downward under the action of gravity after condensing into large oil droplets on the cavity wall. Under the action of the inverted taper surface and the inner communication hole, the oil liquid flows back to the second cavity 502 and finally returns to the box 1, while the air flows through the third cavity 503 to the fourth cavity 504 and finally reaches a pressure dynamic balance state with the external environment (flows in or out) in the air exchange valve 2, thereby achieving the purpose of blocking the oil flow and maintaining the dynamic balance of the air pressure in and outside the reduction box.

[0026] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , the range of the taper angle θ4 of the second shell 402 is preferably 90°< θ4< 110°, which can satisfy the maximum inclination range of 35° to 45°.
[0027] The utility model discloses according to certain angle law selects different taper surface and arc surface cooperation, forms symmetrical 4 layer labyrinth structure, selects the horizontal lowest point of every cavity and opens the communicating groove, and the communicating groove of adjacent two cavities is arranged on different shell to further grow the flow path, on this basis, the corresponding taper angle can be adjusted and constructs the ventilation labyrinth structure that can adapt to big inclination angle, through this mode, the purpose of the general design of semi-parameterization can be reached.
