[0031] In addition, if the terms "first", "second" and the like are used only to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the utility model can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0033] In the prior art, some gearboxes are provided with air filters, which are generally installed on the gearbox body, and the output gear shaft 400 in the gearbox body is under high-speed rotating conditions, part of the lubricating oil splashes to the position of the air filter and directly enters the air filter, which is easy to seep out from the air filter. And the high-temperature atomized lubricating oil is also easy to seep out from the air filter, which is not conducive to the use of the air filter and increases the consumption of lubricating oil, increasing the operating cost.

[0034] In view of this, the designer provides an anti-seepage air filter which can reduce the seepage probability of lubricating oil from the filter body 100.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment provides an anti-seepage air filter, which comprises a filter body 100 and an adapter 200. The adapter 200 is provided with a flow channel 201, and the flow channel 201 has at least one bending section 202 in its extension direction. The adapter 200 is connected with the filter body 100, and the flow channel 201 is connected with the filter channel of the filter body 100. The adapter 200 or the filter body 100 is used for connecting with the shell 300 of the gearbox, and the port of the flow channel 201 away from the filter body 100 is located in the cavity surrounded by the shell 300.

[0036] As described above, the working principle of the anti-seepage air filter provided by the embodiment is as follows:

[0037] During the operation of the gear box, the external air is filtered by the filter body 100 and enters the cavity surrounded by the shell 300 of the gear box from the flow channel 201, and the air in the cavity can also be discharged from the filter body 100, thereby realizing the circulation of the air inside and outside the shell 300, reducing the operation temperature and pressure, and ensuring the stable operation of the gear box. Since the flow channel 201 has at least one bending section 202 in the extension direction thereof, the length of the flow channel 201 can be extended in the limited space, and the atomized lubricating oil liquid in the shell 300 is blocked at the bending section 202 after entering the flow channel 201, thereby reducing the speed, avoiding the atomized lubricating oil liquid from directly impacting the filter body 100, and reducing the probability of leakage of the atomized lubricating oil liquid from the filter body 100. Meanwhile, due to the design of the bending section 202 of the flow channel 201, the travel of the atomized lubricating oil liquid to the filter body 100 is increased, the time of the atomized lubricating oil liquid staying in the flow channel 201 is increased, the atomized lubricating oil liquid is more likely to be liquefied during the flow process, and the liquefied lubricating oil liquid can flow back to the shell 300 under the action of gravity, thereby reducing the probability of oil leakage and improving the resource utilization.

[0038] The following embodiments illustrate the detailed structure of the oil-impermeable air filter of the present application by way of example.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, optionally, the oil-impermeable air filter comprises a filter body 100 and an adapter 200. The filter body 100 is connected with the adapter 200, and the adapter 200 is used for mounting the filter body 100 on the shell 300 of the gear box.

[0040] In the embodiment, it should be noted that the filter body 100 is a known structure, and the structure of the filter body 100 is not improved in the embodiment. In order to avoid repetitive and tedious description, the detailed structure of the filter body 100 and the filtering principle thereof are not described in detail in the embodiment, and the known technology can be referred to.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, optionally, the adapter 200 comprises an adapter pipe 210 and an elbow pipe 220. One end of the adapter pipe 210 is connected with the filter body 100, the other end of the adapter pipe 210 is connected with the elbow pipe 220, and the elbow pipe 220 extends into the cavity surrounded by the shell 300. The lumen of the adapter pipe 210 and the lumen of the elbow pipe 220 are communicated and form the flow channel 201. The bending section 202 of the flow channel 201 is formed in the lumen of the elbow pipe 220, that is, the bending part of the elbow pipe 220 is the bending section 202.

[0042] Optionally, the adapter pipe 210 comprises an integrated first pipe body 211 and a second pipe body 212, both of which can be circular pipes, coaxially arranged to facilitate processing and manufacturing, and the outer diameter of the first pipe body 211 is larger than that of the second pipe body 212. During assembly, the filter body 100 is inserted into the first pipe body 211, and then the second pipe body 212 can be inserted through the housing 300 of the gearbox, so that the second pipe body 212 is connected with the housing 300, and then the elbow pipe 220 is connected with the second pipe body 212, effectively reducing the installation difficulty.

[0043] It should be understood that, since the outer diameter of the second pipe body 212 is designed to be smaller than that of the first pipe body 211, the consumption of materials can be reduced, and since the second pipe body 212 is connected with the housing 300, the diameter of the assembly hole formed on the housing 300 can be reduced, which ensures the firm connection between the second pipe body 212 and the housing 300 without affecting the strength of the housing 300.

[0044] Optionally, the filter body 100 can be inserted into the first pipe body 211 and screwed with the first pipe body 211.

[0045] Optionally, the outer pipe wall of the second pipe body 212 can be provided with an external thread groove, and the assembly hole on the housing 300 is a threaded hole, and the external thread groove is screwed with the thread.

[0046] Optionally, the port of the second pipe body 212 away from the first pipe body 211 can be processed into a threaded hole, and the elbow pipe 220 can be screwed into the threaded hole.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the elbow pipe 220 can be provided as a right-angle pipe or a U-shaped pipe, and obviously, in other embodiments, the elbow pipe 220 can also be a pipe body with other angles.

[0048] In addition, in some embodiments, the elbow pipe 220 can be provided with multiple bending portions, so that the flow channel 201 has multiple bending sections 202, which can further increase the fluid movement stroke and reduce the oil leakage probability of the filter body 100.

[0049] The oil leakage prevention air filter provided in this embodiment has at least one bending section 202 in the flow channel 201, so that the atomized lubricating oil liquid is blocked at the bending section 202 when flowing towards the filter body 100, the speed is reduced, and it is not easy to reach the filter body 100 and leak. At the same time, the design of the bending section 202 increases the fluid movement stroke, and the atomized lubricating oil liquid is easily liquefied when flowing in the flow channel 201, which can flow back to the housing 300 under the action of gravity, and the resource utilization rate is high.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3The embodiment also provides a gear box, which comprises a shell 300 and the oil-proof air filter in the above embodiment, and the adapter 200 is mounted on the shell 300, and the end of the flow channel 201 communicates with a cavity surrounded by the shell 300.

[0051] Optionally, the gear box further comprises an output gear shaft 400, the output gear shaft 400 is rotatably connected with the shell 300, the shell 300 has an inner side wall 310 which is perpendicular to the axis of the output gear shaft 400, and the end of the flow channel 201 which is away from the filter body 100 is directed to the inner side wall 310. In this way, the partial hole section of the flow channel 201 extends along the axis of the output gear shaft 400, and the end face where the end of the flow channel 201 is located is substantially perpendicular to the output gear shaft 400. The lubricating oil agitated by the output gear shaft 400 is less likely to directly enter the flow channel 201 from the end, thereby reducing the probability of oil leakage from the filter body 100.

[0052] Further, the distance between the inner side wall 310 and the end of the flow channel 201 is L, and the value of L can be 5-10mm, for example, the distance between the inner side wall 310 and the end of the flow channel 201 can be 5mm, 7.5mm or 10mm, etc. It is worth noting that the distance between the end of the flow channel 201 and the inner side wall 310 can be controlled by additionally arranging an adjusting pipe 500 at the end of the elbow pipe 220. The adjusting pipe 500 can be a steel pipe, the length of the adjusting pipe 500 is designed as required, and the adjusting pipe 500 can be screw-connected with the elbow pipe 220.

[0053] By controlling the distance between the inner side wall 310 and the flow channel 201, the probability of the atomized lubricating oil entering the flow channel 201 from the end can be further reduced, thereby reducing the probability of oil leakage from the filter body 100.

[0054] It should be understood that, in some embodiments, the shell 300 comprises a body 320 and a sight hole cover 330 mounted on the top of the body 320, the sight hole cover 330 can be used to observe the internal condition of the cavity, and the sight hole cover 330 can be fixed on the body 320 by bolts or the like. The adapter pipe 210 can be fixed on the sight hole cover 330.

[0055] The above merely provides a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which shall be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
