Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drive transmission, specifically to an electromagnetic retarder four-motor two-speed mining dump truck gearbox. Background Technology

[0002] The mining machinery industry is currently accelerating its upgrade towards green and electric technologies. Mining dump trucks, as core equipment in mine transportation, suffer from drawbacks such as high carbon emissions, low energy efficiency, and high maintenance costs with traditional diesel power systems. New energy electrification technology offers a fundamental solution to these problems. However, the extreme heavy loads, frequent starts and stops, and braking on long slopes of mining dump trucks place stringent demands on the power transmission system: it must withstand extremely high torque (peak torque typically reaching tens of thousands of Newton-meters) while ensuring high reliability and energy recovery efficiency. Existing single-speed transmission technology used in civilian electric vehicles is insufficient to meet these requirements. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem that existing products cannot meet usage requirements, this utility model provides an electromagnetic retarder four-motor two-speed mining dump truck gearbox that solves the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] An electromagnetic retarder four-motor two-speed mining dump truck gearbox includes a motor, an input gear group, a connecting gear group, a transmission gear group, and an output gear group connected in sequence. Multiple motors converge into the connecting gear group through the input gear group and are transmitted to the transmission gear group through the connecting gear group. The transmission gear group is provided with two sets of shifting mechanisms and is connected to the output gear group through the shifting mechanisms. The output gear group is provided with an electromagnetic retarder.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment of the electromagnetic retarder four-motor two-speed mining dump truck gearbox provided by this utility model, the input gear set includes multiple input shafts, each connected to the same number of motors. The connecting gear set includes one connecting shaft, and all input shafts mesh with the same connecting shaft. The input gear set includes four input shafts, each connected to one of the four motors. Each input shaft has input teeth, and the connecting shaft has two front connecting teeth, each of which meshes with two input teeth. The input teeth and the front connecting teeth are meshed by two sets of gears with opposite directions of rotation, forming a herringbone tooth layout.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the electromagnetic retarder four-motor two-speed mining dump truck gearbox provided by this utility model, the transmission gear set includes two intermediate shafts, one end of which meshes with the connecting shaft, and the other end of which is connected to the output shaft through the shifting mechanism.

[0007] Each of the intermediate shafts is provided with intermediate teeth, and the connecting shaft is also provided with rear connecting teeth, which mesh with the two intermediate teeth.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the electromagnetic retarder four-motor two-speed mining dump truck gearbox provided by this utility model, the shifting mechanism includes a shifting spline disposed on the intermediate shaft, a first shifting tooth and a second shifting tooth sleeved on the intermediate shaft, the shifting spline being connected to the first shifting tooth, or the shifting spline being connected to the second shifting tooth.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the electromagnetic retarder four-motor two-speed mining dump truck gearbox provided by this utility model, the output gear set includes an output shaft, a first output tooth and a second output tooth disposed on the output shaft, the output shaft is provided with the electromagnetic retarder, and the first output tooth and the second output tooth respectively mesh with the first shift tooth and the second shift tooth.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the electromagnetic retarder four-motor two-speed mining dump truck gearbox provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0011] 1. The solution provided by this utility model adopts an axial force self-balancing design. Two sets of gears with opposite directions of rotation are used between the input gear and the front connecting gear to form a herringbone tooth layout. The meshing forces of the symmetrical tooth directions cancel each other out, significantly reducing the axial load on the constant mesh bearing. This can reduce the wear of the shaft support bearings, improve the overall life of the transmission system, and avoid the complexity of adding thrust bearings or shaft shoulders required by traditional single-direction gears.

[0012] 2. The solution provided by this utility model adopts a design of four motors in two groups of transmission. The power ratio of the auxiliary motor can be further adjusted to achieve dual optimization of lightweight and reliability.

[0013] 3. The solution provided by this utility model has ultra-high torque density. The four-motor power confluence technology significantly improves the torque carrying capacity of the constant meshing shaft through parallel input, and effectively disperses gear contact stress by combining the dual intermediate shaft split transmission.

[0014] 4. The solution provided by this utility model adopts a multi-motor collaborative control strategy, which provides sufficient power redundancy when a single motor fails, ensuring safe continuous operation under extreme conditions.

[0015] 5. The solution provided by this utility model adopts a dual intermediate shaft two-speed transmission design. The dual intermediate shaft structure in the rear section achieves two-speed ratio switching through a combination of main and auxiliary gearboxes. The dual intermediate shaft synchronizer can reduce shifting impact and improve power continuity. The auxiliary motor can serve as a secondary power source, avoiding the risk of power interruption during mine car lifting and unloading. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The output gear group 2 includes four input shafts 21 and four input teeth 22.

[0023] The input shafts 21 are equipped with bearings at both ends. The four input shafts 21 are arranged in two parallel groups and are connected to the first motor 11, the second motor 12, the third motor 13, and the fourth motor 14, respectively. The four input teeth 22 are respectively located on the four input shafts 21.

[0024] The connecting gear assembly 3 includes a connecting shaft 31, and two front connecting teeth 32 and one rear connecting tooth 33 sequentially disposed on the connecting shaft 31. The connecting shaft 31 is relatively long and adopts a two-section structure, with each section having two bearing supports.

[0025] The first motor 11 and the second motor 12 serve as main motors, while the third motor 13 and the fourth motor 14 serve as auxiliary motors. The two input teeth 22 connecting the first motor 11 and the second motor 12 mesh with the first front connecting tooth 32, and the two input teeth 22 connecting the third motor 13 and the fourth motor 14 mesh with the second front connecting tooth 32.

[0026] The input tooth and the front connecting tooth 32 are connected by two sets of gears with opposite directions of rotation, forming a herringbone tooth layout, roughly as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0027] The transmission gear set 4 includes two intermediate shafts 41 and two intermediate teeth 42.

[0030] The first shift tooth 51 and the second shift tooth 52 are located on both sides of the shift spline 53, and each has a spline on a similar side. They are connected by a sliding sleeve 54 to realize the output of power from the first shift tooth 51 or the second shift tooth 52.

[0031] The output gear assembly 6 includes an output shaft 61, a first output tooth 62, and a second output tooth 63. The output shaft 61 is equipped with the first output tooth 62, the second output tooth 63, and an electromagnetic retarder 7. The first output tooth 62 simultaneously meshes with the first shift teeth 51 of both shift mechanisms 5, while the second output tooth 63 meshes with the second shift teeth 52 of both shift mechanisms 5. The first shift teeth 51 have a smaller diameter and output high torque, while the second shift teeth 52 have a larger diameter and output high speed.
