[0029] The utility model is not limited to the following specific embodiments. All equivalent modifications made based on the technical solution of this application fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0030] It should be noted that the directional terms mentioned in this article, such as "inner cavity", "inner circumference" and "outer circumference", are consistent with the specific directions on the paper in the drawings of the specification or the corresponding directions of the space shown in the drawings; all components and devices in this utility model, unless otherwise specified, adopt components and devices known in the prior art.
[0031] Example
[0032] This embodiment discloses a 13-speed high-torque mechanical transmission, including a primary shaft 1 and a primary shaft gear 2 coaxially connected, and a secondary shaft 8 coaxial with the primary shaft 1. Multiple gears are coaxially mounted on the secondary shaft 8, and a synchronizer corresponding to each gear is also coaxially mounted on the secondary shaft 8. A secondary shaft spline washer 17 is coaxially positioned between each gear and the secondary shaft 8. Multiple grooves 17-0 are evenly distributed on the inner circumference of each secondary shaft spline washer 17, and the outer circumference of the secondary shaft 8 corresponding to each groove 17-0 is... Each groove 17-0 has a limiting groove 8-0, and a hexagonal key 16 parallel to the axis of the two shafts 8 is provided in the space between each groove 17-0 and the corresponding limiting groove 8-0. A top gap 17a is left between each hexagonal key 16 and the top surface of the groove 17-0, and a side gap 17b is left between each hexagonal key 16 and the opposite side surface of the groove 17-0. In this embodiment, the preferred value of the top gap 17a is 0.28mm to 0.37mm, and the preferred value of the side gap 17b is 0.27mm to 0.38mm.
[0033] Through the optimized design of the top clearance 17a and side clearance 17b, the rotation of the hexagonal key 16 is greatly constrained, effectively solving the problem of the hexagonal key 16 being chewed up within the contact area between the hexagonal key 16 and the two-shaft spline pad 17. Simultaneously, the toothed hub of each gear synchronizer disclosed in this embodiment is widened to 23.92mm~24mm, effectively reducing the failure of synchronizer toothed hub cracking and increasing the mating length of the hexagonal key at the synchronizer toothed hub, which also greatly constrains the rotation of the hexagonal key 16. Based on after-sales fault analysis of the 13-speed series products, this embodiment conducts targeted analysis for different fault modes and implements them in the 13JSDX280T transmission, resulting in a significant improvement in the reliability and quality of the transmission assembly.
[0034] Specifically, each of the two-axis spline pads 17 has at least one oil groove 17-1 on both sides to improve the lubrication conditions of each of the two-axis spline pads 17.
[0035] Taking into account both the strength and cost factors of the dual-axis spline pad 17, the dual-axis spline pad 17 disclosed in this embodiment is provided with two parallel oil grooves 17-1 on both sides, and the oil grooves 17-1 on opposite sides are perpendicular to each other; and the vertical distance from each oil groove 17-1 to the center line of the dual-axis spline pad 17 is equal to enhance the strength of the spline pad. The oil grooves 17-1 in this embodiment can be forged.
[0036] Based on current market failure performance, this embodiment increases the thickness of the two-axis spline pad 17 to 8mm to 8.05mm to further enhance its strength and take into account changes in the transmission assembly.
[0037] Specifically, the outer circumference of the end of the first shaft gear 2 matches the inner circumference structure of the fifth gear side engagement tooth 18-1 of the fifth and sixth gear synchronizer 18, and the outer circumference of the end of the first shaft gear 2 meshes with the inner circumference of the fifth gear side engagement tooth 18-1. This means that the original internal meshing is changed to external meshing, and the meshing circle radius is increased. Based on the fault performance of the 13-speed series products, the service life of the fifth and sixth gear synchronizer 18 can be significantly improved.
[0038] This embodiment also includes a secondary housing welding shaft 21. The front weld seam 21a of the secondary housing welding shaft 21 is a semi-U-shaped weld with an angle of 45° to its axial direction, in order to improve the fatigue strength of the secondary housing welding shaft 21. The secondary housing welding shaft 21 in this embodiment is composed of a secondary housing intermediate shaft transmission gear 10 and a secondary housing intermediate shaft 11.
[0039] The 13-speed high-torque mechanical transmission disclosed in this embodiment can use 42CrMoH material and a local high-frequency quenching process to improve the static torsional strength of the auxiliary gearbox main shaft 14. After local high-frequency quenching, the surface hardness of the auxiliary gearbox main shaft is required to be no less than HRC55, and the effective hardened layer depth at the spline root is 5-8mm.
[0040] In this embodiment, to improve the static torsional strength of shaft 1, the connecting spline of shaft 1 is a 24-tooth involute structure, which increases its breaking torque and yield torque by 1.21 to 1.39 times.
[0041] In this embodiment, to improve the static torsional strength of the entire gearbox and enhance the strength of the auxiliary gearbox synchronizer sleeve 13 and the auxiliary gearbox main shaft reduction gear 12, the meshing pair of the auxiliary gearbox synchronizer sleeve 13 and the auxiliary gearbox main shaft reduction gear 12 is moved back 2.8mm based on the existing structure, so that the meshing pair is closer to the support of the auxiliary gearbox main shaft reduction gear 12. The shortening of its cantilever length can significantly improve the static torsional strength of the gearbox in low gears.
[0042] The overall solution in this embodiment is designed based on after-sales fault analysis of the 13-speed 2000Nm~2600Nm series products. Improvement schemes and measures are formulated and implemented for the 13JSDX280T, which can be completely transplanted and applied to the same series of 13-speed products to achieve the goal of reducing the market failure rate of the same series of products.
[0043] The specific working process of this embodiment, taking three gears as an example, is as follows:
[0044] First, the driver controls the vehicle's air circuit to make the main gearbox synchronizer 7 mesh with the second shaft third gear 6, and the auxiliary gearbox synchronizer 13 mesh with the auxiliary gearbox reduction gear 12;
[0045] Secondly, the engine's output torque is input to the transmission assembly via shaft 1. The transmission path of the torque input via shaft 1 inside the transmission is as follows: shaft 1 → shaft 2 → intermediate shaft drive gear 3 → intermediate shaft 4 → intermediate shaft third gear 5 → second shaft third gear 6 → synchronizer 7 → second shaft 8 → auxiliary gearbox drive gear 9 → auxiliary gearbox intermediate shaft drive gear 10 → auxiliary gearbox intermediate shaft 11 → auxiliary gearbox reduction gear 12 → auxiliary gearbox synchronizer sleeve 13 → auxiliary gearbox main shaft 14 → flange 15.
[0046] At this point, the torque output from the engine is transmitted through the gearbox to the rear transmission system, which is connected to the gearbox flange 15.
[0047] The power transmission path for other gears is analyzed using the same method as the power transmission path for gear 3 above, and will not be repeated here.
[0048] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.
[0049] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. To avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately. Furthermore, the various different embodiments disclosed in this solution can also be combined arbitrarily, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure.
