Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gearbox technology, and in particular to a dual-inlet internal pipeline gearbox with a screw pump. Background Technology

[0002] High-speed gearboxes mostly employ forced lubrication. Due to industry demands, power and speed are constantly increasing, leading to a continuous increase in the specific pressure exerted on the bearings. Besides the bearings and rotor, the lubrication system is also a critical design element, determining the safe and stable operation of a gearbox. Current gearbox designs prioritize compactness and aesthetics, requiring not only material savings but also minimizing manufacturing complexity.

[0003] For dual-inlet screw pumps with side mounting, most adopt an external pipeline or a lower housing with multiple oil holes. The former is easily restricted by the spatial layout of the application scenario, increasing the difficulty of pipeline installation and disassembly, and often interfering with the hoisting of the entire unit; the latter increases the weight of the entire unit and increases material costs.

[0004] CN220870041U discloses a gearbox with an oil pump, comprising a gearbox base, a shaft seat on the gearbox base, an output shaft and an input shaft on the shaft seat, an adjusting oil pump on the surface of the gearbox base, an oil inlet pipe at one end of the adjusting oil pump, an oil distributor plate connected to the oil inlet pipe, the oil distributor plate being installed inside the gearbox base and located on one side of the input shaft, an oil inlet plate between the oil distributor plate and the oil inlet pipe, and an oil pan seat corresponding to the oil distributor plate on the gearbox base. The adjusting oil pump delivers oil through the oil inlet pipe into the oil inlet plate, and the oil enters the oil distributor plate on the oil pan seat. The side of the oil pan seat abuts against the input shaft, simultaneously delivering oil at a uniform speed to the input shaft as it rotates.

[0005] In existing technology, oil can only enter the gearbox through one inlet, which results in a long oil passage inside the gearbox and makes it easy for the oil passage to become blocked. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the problem of poor oil flow in the gearbox caused by a single oil inlet in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a gearbox with a dual oil inlet internal pipeline and a screw pump.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a dual-inlet internal pipeline gearbox with a screw pump, comprising a housing, an input shaft, an output shaft, and a pump shaft. The input shaft, output shaft, and pump shaft are all rotatably mounted on the housing via bearings, and are connected by a drive connection. Two inlet flanges are installed on the housing, and the two inlet flanges are connected by a distribution pipe, allowing oil to enter the distribution pipe through either inlet flange. The oil is supplied to the bearings, input shaft, output shaft, and pump shaft inside the gearbox through the two inlet flanges.

[0008] Preferably, the output shaft is equipped with an output gear and a driving gear, the input shaft is an integrally formed gear shaft, the pump shaft is equipped with a driven gear, the output shaft is driven by the output gear meshing with the input shaft, and the output shaft is connected to the pump shaft by the driving gear and the driven gear.

[0009] Preferably, the housing is provided with elongated holes and multiple oil injection pipes. Any oil inlet flange supplies oil to the bearings on the housing through the elongated holes, and any oil inlet flange sprays oil to the gear meshing parts inside the housing through the oil injection pipes.

[0010] Preferably, a first oil distribution block is installed on the housing, and a first oil inlet flange is connected to the first oil distribution block. The first oil distribution block distributes the oil in the first oil inlet flange to the oil distribution pipe, the elongated hole, the first oil injection pipe, and the second oil injection pipe. The meshing point of the input shaft and the output gear is located between the first oil injection pipe and the second oil injection pipe.

[0011] Preferably, a second oil distribution block is installed on the housing, and a second oil inlet flange is connected to the second oil distribution block. The second oil inlet flange is connected to the oil distribution pipe and the third oil injection pipe through the second oil distribution block. The third oil injection pipe sprays oil to the meshing point of the driving gear and the driven gear.

[0012] Preferably, the screw pump is mounted on the housing, and the pump shaft is connected to the screw pump drive.

[0013] Preferably, the input shaft is mounted on the housing via a first bearing and a second bearing, the output shaft is mounted on the housing via a third bearing and a fourth bearing, and the pump shaft is mounted on the housing via a fifth bearing; wherein the first bearing, the second bearing, the third bearing, and the fourth bearing are all sliding bearings.

[0014] Preferably, a speed measuring gear is installed on the output shaft, and the speed measuring probe is installed in the gearbox through the first bracket. The speed measuring probe can determine the output speed of the gearbox by detecting the speed measuring gear.

[0015] Preferably, the vibration probe is mounted on the housing via a second bracket, and the vibration probe is used to detect the runout of the input shaft.

[0016] Preferably, the junction box is installed on the side of the box via a third bracket, and a connector is fixed at the bottom of the box. One end of the connector is connected to the inside of the box, and the other end of the connector is connected to an elbow via an oil sealing flange. The elbow is connected to the junction box via a corrugated pipe.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of this utility model are as follows: oil can be supplied to the bearings and gears in the gearbox through any oil inlet flange. The dual oil inlet structure design can effectively reduce the length of the oil circuit in the gearbox. Even with the space limitation caused by the screw pump, oil can still be supplied in both directions and the oil circuit can be unobstructed, thereby reducing the oil pressure loss.
