Detailed Implementation
[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Please see the appendix Figures 1-12In this embodiment, the lubricating oil cleaning filter assembly, gearbox, and rear axle include a housing 1 and a housing cover 2. The housing 1 and the housing cover 2 are fastened together to form a sealed bearing cavity 3. An oil receiving assembly 4 is fixedly connected inside the bearing cavity 3. The housing 1 has a return oil passage 5 that cooperates with the oil receiving assembly 4. The housing cover 2 has an output oil passage 6 that cooperates with the oil receiving assembly 4. The output oil passage 6 is connected to a filter 7. An input oil passage 8 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the filter 7. The input oil passage 8 is fixedly connected to the housing cover 2.
[0031] The inner cavity of the gearbox is the bearing cavity 3. The oil receiving assembly 4 is located inside the bearing cavity 3. The oil receiving assembly 4 collects the lubricating oil splashed during gearbox operation. The oil receiving assembly 4 has a downward indentation in the middle, where the collected lubricating oil will converge. The inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a recessed return oil channel 5. Part of the lubricating oil collected in the oil receiving assembly 4 will enter the inner end of the bearing chamber through the return oil channel 5 to lubricate the bearing, and the other part will enter the filter 7 through the output oil channel 6. The lower end of the filter 7 is connected to the inside of the housing 1 through the input oil channel 8. The height of the output oil channel 6 is higher than the height of the input oil channel 8. In this way, after the lubricating oil enters the filter 7, it will automatically enter the input oil channel 8 under the action of gravity. This way, without the need for an additional power source, the lubricating oil can be filtered in the filter 7 and then flow back into the housing 1, thereby completing the cleaning work of the lubricating oil and avoiding the influence of impurities in the lubricating oil on the gearbox.
[0032] Commonly used gearboxes in daily life include split-type and integrated-type. In an integrated gearbox, the gearbox body 1 and gearbox cover 2 are integrally stamped and cannot be separated. In a split-type gearbox, the gearbox body 1 and gearbox cover 2 are fixed by fixing bolts. Corresponding fixing holes 9 are provided on the outer edge of the gearbox body 1 and gearbox cover 2. The fixing holes 9 are arranged around the perimeter according to the outer contour of the gearbox body 1 and gearbox cover 2.
[0033] The component in the oil receiving assembly 4 used to collect lubricating oil is a horizontal plate. In an integrated gearbox, the horizontal plate spans the left and right sides inside the housing 1. In a split gearbox, the horizontal plate is formed by splicing a first oil guide plate 401 and a second oil guide plate 402. The end of the first oil guide plate 401 is fixed to the cover 2, and the end of the second oil guide plate 402 is fixed to the housing 1. The end faces of the first oil guide plate 401 and the second oil guide plate 402 are parallel to each other. When the housing 1 and the cover 2 are fastened together, the first oil guide plate 401 and the second oil guide plate 402 come into contact with each other, thereby forming a horizontal plate spanning the bearing cavity 3 to collect splashed lubricating oil.
[0034] An oil receiving plate 403 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. The oil receiving plate 403 is located on the side of the second oil guide plate 402. The oil receiving plate 403 is placed at an angle and is located on the side of the return oil channel 5. The oil receiving plate 403 increases the collection area of lubricating oil. At the same time, the cooperation between the oil receiving plate 403 and the second oil guide plate 402 can guide the flow of lubricating oil, so that the lubricating oil can smoothly enter the return oil channel 5.
[0035] The filter 7 used for filtering lubricating oil has a main body of an irregularly shaped housing 701. The upper end of the irregularly shaped housing 701 is an oil inlet 702, and the lower end is an oil return port 703. The oil inlet 702 is linked to the output oil passage 6, and the oil return port 703 is connected to the input oil passage 8. Lubricating oil enters the irregularly shaped housing 701 from the output oil passage 6 and the oil inlet 702, and flows back to the housing 1 from the oil return port 703 and the input oil passage 8. The irregularly shaped housing 701 has two chambers inside, the higher one being the pre-filter chamber 704, and the lower one being the post-filter chamber. The oil chamber 705 is divided into two chambers by a filter diaphragm 706. The filter diaphragm 706 filters the lubricating oil, and impurities in the lubricating oil are retained in the pre-filter chamber 704 above the filter diaphragm 706. The lubricating oil that has passed through the filter diaphragm 706 flows through the rear oil collection chamber 705 and then re-enters the housing 1. At this time, the lubricating oil entering the housing 1 is free of impurities, ensuring the cleanliness of the lubricating oil. The rubber gasket 707 is located between the irregularly shaped housing and the housing cover to ensure the fit of the irregularly shaped housing and avoid contact gaps.
[0036] The overall shape of the filter diaphragm 706 is a flexible bag-like structure (or a filter element shape). Its bag opening is fixed to the oil inlet 702 by a sealing clamp. In this way, the lubricating oil entering from the oil inlet 702 will be trapped inside the bag, and the contact surface between the lubricating oil and the filter diaphragm 706 will be larger, thereby improving the filtration efficiency of the filter diaphragm 706 for the lubricating oil.
[0037] like Figure 11 As shown, the rear axle housing has a first oil passage and a second oil passage. The lubricating oil splashed during the operation of the rear axle is collected in the first oil passage, and then enters the pre-filter chamber of the irregularly shaped housing of the present invention through the first oil passage. After being filtered by the filter membrane, it enters the rear oil collection chamber of the irregularly shaped filter, and then flows into the rear axle housing through the second oil passage. In this way, the lubricating oil is continuously cleaned and filtered when the rear axle is working, so as to keep the lubricating oil clean and extend the service life of the bearings inside the rear axle and the gearbox.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
