Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gearbox technology, and in particular to a gearbox used in drilling equipment mud pumps. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the diesel engines used to drive mud pumps are powered by multi-speed gearboxes to meet the pressure requirements of mud pumps under different working conditions. The existing multi-speed gearboxes are four-speed gearboxes. Their shifting method involves fixing first and second gear shift forks to the first and second gear shift fork shafts, and third and fourth gear shift forks to the third and fourth gear shift fork shafts. These shift forks connect to the gearbox's internal gears. Gear engagement is achieved by manually operating a shift lever or using a cylinder to control the shift forks. When using this gearbox, the clutch must first be disengaged, and after engaging a gear, the pneumatic clutch is inflated to transmit power. The above shifting method suffers from problems such as difficulty in meshing the gears, long clutch inflation / deflation times, and low shifting efficiency. Furthermore, with the development of drilling rig technology, the existing shifting method is no longer suitable for the needs of pump units. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a technology to improve these shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings and defects of existing mud pump gearboxes, in order to achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a gearbox for drilling equipment mud pumps, comprising:
