Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a drum with a built-in motor and an external low-tooth-difference reducer, and more particularly to a drum with a built-in motor and an external low-tooth-difference reducer suitable for drive devices of hoists, winches, belt conveyors, etc. Background Technology
[0002] Hoists and belt conveyors are widely used in coal mines for both underground and surface operations. Typically, the drive units for hoists and belt conveyors use an asynchronous motor or explosion-proof asynchronous motor with a reducer and drum assembly. In this configuration, the drive unit axially comprises a mechanical system consisting of a motor, a high-speed coupling, a reducer, a low-speed coupling, and a drum assembly. This results in a long axial distance, requiring increased chamber space for underground installation. Furthermore, drive units using asynchronous motors or explosion-proof asynchronous motors with reducers are inefficient and energy-intensive.
[0003] Existing hoists and belt conveyors use direct-drive drums with permanent magnet motors. Compared to structures using asynchronous motors or explosion-proof asynchronous motors with couplings and drums, this type of drive eliminates the reducer and high-speed coupling components, resulting in a shorter axial distance, but it is still relatively long. Furthermore, the direct-drive mode requires the drive motor to output high torque at low speeds, but high-torque permanent magnet motors are bulky and inconvenient for transportation and installation in underground tunnels.
[0004] Existing drive units for hoists and belt conveyors include permanent magnet external rotor motor drums. The permanent magnet motor stator is inside, while the external rotor and drum are outside, allowing for direct drive. Compared to direct-drive drums, the axial distance is reduced by eliminating the coupling, and is only the drum length. Both non-explosion-proof and explosion-proof types are available. Non-explosion-proof drums have an air gap between the stator and external rotor, making them suitable only for surface applications and not for underground environments. Explosion-proof drums have a sealed air gap, making them suitable for both surface and underground conditions. However, currently only explosion-proof drums with a motor power not exceeding 315kW are available. In underground conditions, they are suitable for driving belt conveyors with lower loads, but struggle to meet the power requirements for driving heavy-load underground hoists.
[0005] Currently, patents for drive devices of hoists and belt conveyors that integrate motors, multi-stage reducers, or reducers inside the drum housing include "A drum with a built-in motor and multi-stage reducer (CN202321789418.6)", "A mining hoist with a built-in motor and reducer (CN202121310264.9)", and "A drum with a built-in motor (CN202123377883.2)". These patents are subject to issues such as complex structure, excessive size, and poor motor heat dissipation, or they do not comply with the relevant requirements of the "Coal Production Technology and Equipment Policy Guidelines": Underground hoisting - Prohibited - Internal gear winch used for main shaft hoisting. Utility Model Content
[0006] Technical Problem: The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a drum with a built-in motor and an external low-tooth-difference reducer. This fully utilizes the internal space of the drum, replacing the original transversely arranged drive devices of the hoist and belt conveyor outside the drum assembly—such as the motor, high-speed coupling, reducer, low-speed coupling, or low-speed, high-torque permanent magnet motor direct-drive drum, or permanent magnet external rotor motor drum, or drum with a built-in motor and multi-stage reducer—with a "built-in motor + external low-tooth-difference reducer" transmission. This makes the drum conform to relevant regulations, shortens its axial dimension, and is suitable for various drum operating conditions, thus facilitating underground transportation and installation of the equipment, while significantly reducing mining costs.
[0007] Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a drum with a built-in motor and an external low-tooth-difference reducer, comprising a left support seat, bearing one, a motor connecting frame, a left support plate, a drum housing, a motor, a coupling, a connecting flange, a right support plate, a right support seat, and a low-tooth-difference reducer. The low-tooth-difference reducer includes a left connecting plate of an internal gear ring, an internal gear ring, a right connecting plate of an internal gear ring, a planetary gear set, a planetary carrier, a central shaft, an eccentric sleeve, bearing two, bearing three, bearing four, and multiple connecting bolts and seals. The planetary carrier includes a planetary carrier one, a pin set, a pin sleeve, and a planetary carrier two.
[0008] The motor is located inside the drum housing, and the low-tooth-difference reducer is located outside the drum. The left end of the motor stator is connected to the motor connecting frame, the right end of the motor stator is connected to the left end of the connecting flange, and the right end of the connecting flange is connected to the left end of the planetary carrier of the low-tooth-difference reducer. The connection of the motor connecting frame, the motor stator, the connecting flange, and the planetary carrier forms a main shaft that supports the drum from left to right. Each pin of the planetary carrier of the left and right through main shaft has a pin sleeve fitted on it. Each pin with a pin sleeve passes through the eccentric hole of the planetary gear set, and its left end is fixedly connected to planetary carrier one, and its right end is fixedly connected to planetary carrier two. The left end of the motor connecting frame of the left and right through main shaft is fixedly connected to the left support seat, and the right end of the planetary carrier of the left and right through main shaft is fixedly connected to the right support seat. The left support plate and the right support plate are respectively located at the left and right ends of the drum housing. The center hole of the left support plate is rotatably supported on the motor connecting frame via a bearing. The outer edge of the left support plate passes through... The motor is bolted to the drum housing; the center hole of the right support plate is bolted to the left connecting plate of the inner gear ring on the outer edge of the small tooth difference reducer, and the outer edge of the right support plate is bolted to the drum housing; the output shaft of the motor is connected to the central shaft of the small tooth difference reducer, and the central shaft is keyed to the eccentric sleeve; the center hole of each planetary gear of the planetary gear set is supported on the eccentric sleeve by a bearing, and the planetary gear set meshes with the inner gear ring; the left and right ends of the inner gear ring are respectively connected to the outer edges of the left connecting plate and the right connecting plate of the inner gear ring by screws; the inner hole of the left connecting plate of the inner gear ring is supported on the left end of the planet carrier by a bearing, and the inner hole of the right connecting plate of the inner gear ring is supported on the right end of the planet carrier by a bearing; the outer edge of the left connecting plate of the inner gear ring is bolted to the right support plate; the right end cover of the motor, the connecting flange, the left connecting plate of the inner gear ring, the inner gear ring, the right connecting plate of the inner gear ring, the planet carrier, and multiple bearings form a sealed cavity.
[0009] Sealing gaskets are provided between the right end of the motor and the left end of the connecting flange, between the outer edge of the left connecting plate of the internal gear ring and the left end of the internal gear ring, and between the right end of the internal gear ring and the outer edge of the right connecting plate of the internal gear ring.
[0010] A lip seal is provided between the right end of the connecting flange and the coupling.
[0011] Bearings and lip seals are provided between the right end of the connecting flange, the left end of the planetary carrier and the inner hole of the left connecting plate of the internal gear ring, and between the right end of the planetary carrier and the inner hole of the right connecting plate of the internal gear ring.
[0012] The output shaft of the motor is connected to a low-tooth-difference reducer via a coupling.
[0013] The planetary gear set has Z1 teeth on the planetary gears and Z2 teeth on the internal gear ring; the reduction ratio of the low-tooth-difference reducer is Z2 / (Z2-Z1).
[0014] The reduction ratio range of the aforementioned low-tooth-difference reducer is 10-100.
[0015] Beneficial Effects: Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the drum of this utility model with its built-in motor and external low-tooth-difference reducer is adaptable to both asynchronous motors and permanent magnet motors, and is also suitable for both surface non-explosion-proof and underground explosion-proof applications. By embedding the motor within the drum housing, the axial dimension of the "motor + drum" mechanical subsystem is shortened, reducing the cost of roadway and chamber excavation. The "external low-tooth-difference reducer" is located on the outer side of the drum assembly, complying with the relevant requirements of the "Coal Production Technology and Equipment Policy Guidelines." By fully utilizing the internal space of the drum housing and using a built-in motor for transmission, the axial dimension of the drum drive device is shortened, greatly facilitating underground transportation and installation of the equipment, while significantly saving mining costs. Compared to existing hoist and belt conveyor drive devices, such as the structure of "asynchronous motor or explosion-proof asynchronous motor + reducer + drum device" and the structure of "permanent magnet motor direct-drive drum," the axial dimension is significantly shortened: the axial distance is reduced by the axial distance of the motor, high-speed coupling, reducer, and low-speed coupling, or by the axial distance of the permanent magnet motor and coupling.
[0016] Compared to the drive devices of hoists and belt conveyors that use a built-in motor direct drive method, the built-in motor direct drive method requires a larger motor size under the same working conditions (same load, speed, and drum diameter). This invention features a compact structure and ease of use. The installation of the reducer assembly not only reduces the rated speed of the motor, but also reduces the motor size and cost, and allows for adaptation to motors of any speed. The increased gap between the motor and the drum housing facilitates heat dissipation. The built-in explosion-proof motor meets the explosion-proof requirements of downhole equipment. The reducer assembly is designed to be detachable. By removing the bolts between the low-tooth-difference reducer and the right support plate, and between the right end of the motor and the connecting flange, the entire reducer assembly and the right disassembly plate can be removed from the drum housing for easy maintenance and installation. This invention has broad applicability and innovation within the technical field. Attached Figure Description
