[0027] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1-5As shown, this embodiment provides a rear axle housing with internally integrated oil channels, including a rear axle main housing 1 and a fixing seat 2. The fixing seat 2 is fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the rear axle main housing 1. The outer wall of the rear axle main housing 1 is provided with a lubricating oil inlet and a hydraulic oil inlet. The fixing seat 2 is annular, and its inner wall is provided with a lubricating oil outlet and a hydraulic oil outlet. The lubricating oil inlet and the lubricating oil outlet are connected by a lubricating oil channel 3 formed in the rear axle main housing 1 and the fixing seat 2. The hydraulic oil inlet and the hydraulic oil outlet are connected by a hydraulic oil channel 4 formed in the rear axle main housing 1 and the fixing seat 2.

[0030] The mounting bracket 2 is used to install the gear shaft. Hydraulic oil and lubricating oil are supplied to the gear shaft through integrated lubrication channels 3 and 4 within the rear axle housing. The specially designed built-in oil channels within the rear axle housing effectively cool the gear shaft, while simultaneously reducing the number of vehicle parts, lowering manufacturing and assembly complexity and costs, reducing overall vehicle weight, improving energy efficiency, and reducing fuel consumption.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the rear axle main housing 1 is partially thickened to form a cuboid block, and the lubricating oil passage 3 and hydraulic oil passage 4 are arranged inside the cuboid block. Alternatively, the cuboid block can also be of other shapes.

[0032] The inner wall of the fixed base 2 or the outer wall of the corresponding gear shaft is provided with an annular oil guide groove along the circumference. The oil guide groove is connected to the lubricating oil passage 3, the hydraulic oil passage 4 and the oil passage inside the gear shaft, so that the gear shaft can always be connected to the lubricating oil passage 3 and the hydraulic oil passage 4 during rotation.

[0033] Based on the above technical solution, the rear axle housing with internal integrated oil passages also includes a connecting column 5. The fixed seat 2 is fixedly connected to the rear axle main housing 1 through the connecting column 5, and the lubricating oil passage 3 and the hydraulic oil passage 4 pass through the connecting column 5.

[0034] A connecting column 5 of appropriate length is provided to ensure that the mounting base 2 is located in the appropriate position within the rear axle main housing 1.

[0035] In other words, the two ends of the connecting column 5 are fixedly connected to the fixed seat 2 and the rear axle main housing 1 respectively, and the lubricating oil passage 3 and the hydraulic oil passage 4 pass through the rear axle main housing 1, the connecting column 5 and the fixed seat 2 in sequence.

[0036] Based on the above technical solution, the diameter of the lubricating oil passage 3 is larger than the diameter of the hydraulic oil passage 4.

[0037] Based on the above technical solution, the fixed base 2 is provided in multiple ways, and each fixed base 2 is provided with at least one lubricating oil outlet and at least one hydraulic oil outlet. The number of lubricating oil inlets is the same as the total number of lubricating oil outlets, and they are connected one-to-one through the lubricating oil passage 3. The number of hydraulic oil inlets is the same as the total number of hydraulic oil outlets, and they are connected one-to-one through the hydraulic oil passage 4.

[0038] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, there are two fixed seats 2. One fixed seat 2 has one lubricating oil outlet and three hydraulic oil outlets, and the other fixed seat 2 has one lubricating oil outlet and one hydraulic oil outlet.

[0039] Based on the above technical solutions, such as Figure 5 As shown, there are two fixed seats 2, each fixed seat 2 having one lubricating oil outlet and three hydraulic oil outlets.

[0040] Based on the above technical solution, the lubrication channel 3 includes a first vertical lubrication section 31, a horizontal lubrication section 32, and a second vertical lubrication section 33, and the lubrication oil inlet, the first vertical lubrication section 31, the horizontal lubrication section 32, the second vertical lubrication section 33, and the lubrication oil outlet are connected in sequence.

[0041] Alternatively, the lubricating oil passage 3 may only include the first vertical lubrication section 31, that is, the lubricating oil passage 3 is a straight flow channel, or the lubricating oil passage 3 may be divided into more sections.

[0042] Based on the above technical solution, the hydraulic oil passage 4 includes a first vertical hydraulic section 41, a horizontal hydraulic section 42, and a second vertical hydraulic section 43. The hydraulic oil inlet, the first vertical hydraulic section 41, the horizontal hydraulic section 42, the second vertical hydraulic section 43, and the hydraulic oil outlet are connected in sequence. The first vertical hydraulic section 41 is parallel to the first vertical lubrication section 31, the horizontal lubrication section 32 is parallel to the horizontal hydraulic section 42, and the second vertical lubrication section 33 is parallel to the second vertical hydraulic section 43.

[0043] The lubricating oil passage 3 and the hydraulic oil passage 4 adopt a multi-segment structure, which facilitates the centralized arrangement of multiple lubricating oil inlets and hydraulic oil inlets, so as to directly connect with the control valve block 6 of the rear axle, and also avoids structural interference between multiple oil passages.

[0044] Alternatively, the hydraulic passage 4 may consist only of the first vertical hydraulic section 41, i.e., the hydraulic passage 4 is a straight flow channel, or the hydraulic passage 4 may be divided into more sections.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] This embodiment also provides a rear axle, including the rear axle housing with internally integrated oil passages as described in Embodiment 1, and a gear shaft, which is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 2.

[0047] The gear shaft is installed in the fixed seat 2. By integrating the lubrication oil passage 3 and hydraulic oil passage 4 inside the rear axle housing, hydraulic oil and lubricating oil are provided to the gear shaft, which can effectively cool the gear shaft. At the same time, it can effectively reduce the number of parts in the whole vehicle, reduce the complexity and cost of manufacturing and assembly, reduce the weight of the whole vehicle, improve the energy utilization rate of the whole vehicle, and reduce fuel consumption.

[0048] In one specific example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, there are two mounting bases 2, each with one lubricating oil outlet and three hydraulic oil outlets. There are two gear shafts, a driven gear shaft 7 and a driving gear shaft 8. The driven gear shaft 7 has a high-gear pressure oil passage 701, a reverse pressure oil passage 702, a low-gear pressure oil passage 703, and a driven shaft lubrication oil passage 704. Each of these passages is connected to a hydraulic oil passage 4, meaning the mounting base 2 for the driven gear shaft 7 has a total of three hydraulic oil passages 4. The driven shaft lubrication oil passage 704 is connected to one lubrication oil passage 3. The drive gear shaft 8 is provided with a drive shaft lubrication oil passage 801, a first-gear pressure oil passage 802, a second-gear pressure oil passage 803, and a third-gear pressure oil passage 804. Each of the first-gear pressure oil passage 802, the second-gear pressure oil passage 803, and the third-gear pressure oil passage 804 is connected to a hydraulic oil passage 4. That is, the mounting base 2 for mounting the drive gear shaft 8 is provided with a total of three hydraulic oil passages 4. The drive shaft lubrication oil passage 801 is connected to a lubrication oil passage 3.

[0049] Based on the above technical solution, the rear axle also includes a control valve block 6, which is fixedly connected to the rear axle main housing 1 and communicates with the lubricating oil passage 3 and the hydraulic oil passage 4.

[0050] The control valve block 6 distributes lubricating oil of appropriate flow rate to the lubricating oil passage 3 and hydraulic oil to the hydraulic oil passage 4 according to the actual situation.

[0051] Specifically, the control valve block 6 has several control flow channels that correspond one-to-one with and are connected to the lubricating oil passage 3 and the hydraulic oil passage 4.
