Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to gear box technical field especially relates to a kind of oil-electricity double-drive marine gear box. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, most of the ships are powered by diesel engines, which rotate the propeller at the stern through the bearing to generate propulsion power. The marine gear box is generally designed with a certain speed ratio, and the propeller is designed according to this speed ratio to achieve the best propulsion efficiency. However, ships such as passenger-cargo ships, engineering ships and trawl fishing vessels usually have multiple modes or speed conditions. Under the condition of a certain main engine power, the multi-condition operation of the ship will cause a significant fluctuation in the utilization rate of the main engine power, resulting in a decrease in the propeller propulsion efficiency, an increase in energy consumption, a waste of fuel, an impact on economy, and serious air pollution. The use of electric drive for hybrid power drive not only allows the diesel engine to work at an economic speed or reduces the operation of the diesel engine to solve the problems of carbon deposition, fuel waste and pollution emission, but also allows the ship to sail in pure electric mode for as much time as possible, which can significantly reduce the energy consumption and operating cost of the ship.

[0003] Patent application No. CN110316347A discloses a marine gear box with an auxiliary transmission box to meet the PTO / PTI function. The auxiliary transmission box takes power from the rear end of the main transmission clutch of the propulsion gear box to realize the PTI function. However, in this structure, the electric motor serves as an auxiliary power device, and the input power is generally much smaller than that of the diesel engine. Moreover, the input and output are horizontally arranged at the same center, which requires a large installation space. Patent application No. CN118387278A discloses a high-efficiency diesel-electric hybrid propulsion ship and its gear box. The engine is connected to the right end of the input shaft, which can be a diesel engine or a gasoline engine. The propeller is connected to the left end of the output shaft, and the electric motor is connected to the left end of the first transmission shaft, thereby driving the propeller and the electric motor to rotate at different speeds. However, this structure of the gear box cannot be applied in the reverse working condition. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an oil-electricity double-drive marine gear box that can realize the independent driving of the propeller by the diesel engine or the electric motor. The structure of the oil-electricity double-drive marine gear box is compact.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The diesel input component includes a first input shaft, a first drive gear is loosely fitted at the rear end of the first input shaft, and a first transmission gear and a first clutch are arranged at the front end of the first input shaft. The first clutch is used to control the transmission between the first drive gear and the first input shaft.

[0008] The reversing axle assembly includes a reversing axle, a second drive gear is loosely fitted at the rear end of the reversing axle, and a second transmission gear and a second clutch are arranged at the front end of the reversing axle.

The three-position four-way solenoid valve controls the engagement / disengagement of the first and second clutches. When using the three-position four-way solenoid valve, it is essential to first switch the solenoid-operated hydraulic control valve to the diesel engine drive mode.

This design facilitates gearbox disassembly and maintenance. The upper gearbox can be lifted to remove the motor input components, while the middle gearbox can be lifted to remove the diesel input components and the reversing shaft components for maintenance such as replacing friction plates.

[0022] This utility model, by adopting the above technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, the propeller can be driven by either a diesel engine or an electric motor. Since it has two power sources, a diesel engine and an electric motor, it can intelligently switch between fuel and motor at any speed, which greatly reduces fuel consumption and improves power performance.

[0036] The diesel input component includes a first input shaft 4, whose two ends are supported on the housing by two roller bearings. The front end of the first input shaft 4 is connected to the flywheel of the diesel engine via a first input coupling 3 and a first high-elasticity coupling 2. The first input shaft 4 and the first input coupling 3 are connected by a hydraulically fitted tapered interference fit. The connecting cover 1 is connected to the diesel engine housing. A first drive gear 10 is loosely fitted at the rear end of the first input shaft 4. The two ends of the first drive gear 10 are supported on the middle housing 36 and the lower housing 37 by two roller bearings, respectively.

[0037] More specifically, the first clutch 9 is arranged inside the first transmission gear 6.

The outer friction plate of the first clutch 9 is connected to the first transmission gear 6, and the inner friction plate of the first clutch 9 is connected to the first clutch seat 7. The first clutch seat 7 is connected to the first drive gear 10.

[0038] The reversing axle assembly includes a reversing axle 11, with both ends of the reversing axle 11 supported on the middle housing 36 and the lower housing 37 respectively by two roller bearings.

A second transmission gear 12 and a second clutch 15 are arranged at the front end of the reversing axle 11. The second transmission gear 12 is heat-fitted onto the front end of the reversing axle 11 and also serves as the housing for the second clutch 15, which controls the transmission between the second drive gear 18 and the reversing axle 11. The second transmission gear 12 meshes with the first transmission gear 6.

[0039] More specifically, the second clutch 15 is arranged inside the second transmission gear 12. A second piston 14 and a second return spring 13 for resetting the second piston 14 are provided on one side of the second clutch 15. The outer friction plate of the second clutch 15 is connected to the second transmission gear 12, and the inner friction plate of the second clutch 15 is connected to the second clutch seat 16. The second clutch seat 16 is connected to the second drive gear 18.

[0040] The motor input component includes a second input shaft 21, which is supported at both ends by two roller bearings on the upper housing 35 and the middle housing 36. The rear end of the second input shaft 21 is provided with a second input coupling 20 and a second high-elasticity coupling 19, which connect to the motor shaft. The second input shaft 21 and the second input coupling 20 are connected by a hydraulically fitted tapered interference fit. A third drive gear 28 is loosely fitted at the front end of the second input shaft 21. Two sliding bushings 29 are placed between the third drive gear 28 and the second input shaft 21 to replace the rolling bearings at both ends, reducing the arrangement space and increasing the transmission speed. An oil distribution sleeve 30 is provided between the two sliding bushings 29 to enhance lubrication. A first driven gear 17 meshes with the third drive gear 28, which is thermally fitted onto the second drive gear 18. A third clutch 26 is arranged on the second input shaft 21 to control the transmission between the third drive gear 28 and the second input shaft 21.

[0041] More specifically, a clutch housing 22 is fixedly mounted at the rear end of the second input shaft 21. A third clutch 26 is arranged inside the clutch housing 22.

The second driven gear 32 meshes with both the first driving gear 10 and the second driving gear 18.

[0043] The gearbox provided by this utility model also includes a hydraulic control component, which includes a motor-driven pump 34, an electromagnetic reversing hydraulic control valve 25, a three-position four-way solenoid valve 24, and an electric pump. The motor-driven pump 34 supplies oil when the diesel engine is driven, and the electric pump supplies oil when the electric motor is driven. The electromagnetic reversing valve 25 establishes the working and lubricating oil pressure of the hydraulic system and can be used to switch between the diesel engine drive mode and the electric motor drive mode, while controlling the engagement and disengagement of the third clutch 26. The three-position four-way solenoid valve 24 controls the engagement and disengagement of the first clutch 9 and the second clutch 15. Specifically, the electromagnetic reversing hydraulic control valve 25 is connected to the third piston 23, and the first piston 8 and the second piston 14 are connected to the three-position four-way solenoid valve 24 through a hydraulic oil chamber. When using the three-position four-way solenoid valve 24, the electromagnetic reversing hydraulic control valve 25 must first be switched to the diesel engine drive mode.

[0044] The gearbox is used as follows: (Previous)

[0045] When the electromagnetic reversing hydraulic control valve 25 is in the "diesel engine" position and the three-position four-way solenoid valve 24 is in the "stop" position, the working oil passages of the first clutch 9 on the first input shaft 4 and the second clutch 15 on the reverse shaft 11 are simultaneously switched to the return oil passage. Under the action of the first return spring 5, the first piston 8 quickly disengages from the inner and outer friction plates, and the second piston 14 quickly disengages from the inner and outer friction plates under the action of the second return spring 13. The first drive gear 10 is loosely fitted on the first input shaft 4, and the second drive gear 18 is loosely fitted on the reverse shaft 11, thus preventing them from driving the driven gear 32 on the output shaft 31 to rotate, and the propeller stops rotating. At this time, all the oil in the hydraulic system is lubricating oil, which flows through various oil passages to the lubrication points of the gearbox. The lubricating oil pressure is regulated by the lubrication valve in the lubrication valve plate assembly, ensuring stable lubrication pressure that fully meets the lubrication needs at various speeds.

[0046] When the three-position four-way solenoid valve 24 is in the "forward" position, the working oil passage of the first clutch 9 of the first input shaft 4 is opened, and the working oil pressure pushes the first piston 8 of the first clutch 9 to press the inner and outer friction plates, so that the first driving gear 10 rotates synchronously with the first input shaft 4 through the first clutch seat 7, and drives the second driven gear 32 to rotate, thereby driving the output shaft 31 and the propeller to rotate, and the ship moves forward.

[0047] When the three-position four-way solenoid valve 24 is in the "reverse" position, the working oil passage of the second clutch 15 of the reverse shaft 11 is opened. The working oil pressure pushes the second piston 14 of the second clutch 15 to press the inner and outer friction plates, so that the second drive gear 18 rotates synchronously with the reverse shaft 11 through the second clutch seat 16, and drives the second driven gear 32 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the output shaft 31 and the propeller to rotate. At this time, the ship moves backward.

[0048] When the electromagnetic reversing hydraulic control valve 25 is in the "stop" position, the working oil passage of the third clutch 26 on the second input shaft 21 switches to the return oil passage. Under the action of the third return spring 27, the third piston 23 quickly disengages from the inner and outer friction plates. The third drive gear 28 is loosely fitted on the second input shaft 21, and therefore cannot drive the first driven gear 17 on the second drive gear 18 to rotate. The second drive gear 18 does not rotate, and therefore cannot drive the second driven gear 32 on the output shaft 31 to rotate, so the propeller stops rotating. At this time, all the oil in the hydraulic system is lubricating oil, which flows through the oil passages to the lubrication points of the gearbox.

[0049] When the electromagnetic reversing hydraulic control valve 25 is in the "motor" position, the working oil passage of the third clutch 26 on the second input shaft 21 is opened. The working oil pressure pushes the piston 23 of the third clutch 26 to press the inner and outer friction plates, so that the third drive gear 28 rotates synchronously with the second input shaft 21, and drives the first driven gear 17, which is hot-fitted on the second drive gear 18, to rotate. The rotation of the second drive gear 18 drives the second driven gear 32 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the output shaft 31 and the propeller to rotate, and the ship moves forward.

[0050] When the electric motor drives the reversing motion, simply rotate the motor in the opposite direction, and the ship will move backward.

[0051] This utility model's gearbox diesel engine drive uses a three-shaft, five-gear, single-stage reduction transmission, while the electric motor drive uses a three-shaft, four-gear, two-stage reduction transmission. For example... Fig. 3As shown, the first input shaft 4 and the output shaft 31 are arranged vertically and at opposite centers, with the first input shaft 4 located above the output shaft 31. The reversing shaft 11 is located on one side of the center line between the first input shaft 4 and the output shaft 31, and the second input shaft 21 is located above the output shaft 31, resulting in a compact structural arrangement. The gearbox includes an upper gearbox 35, a middle gearbox 36, and a lower gearbox 37. The upper gearbox 35 and the middle gearbox 36 are horizontally separated along the center line of the second input shaft 21, while the middle gearbox 36 and the lower gearbox 37 are obliquely separated along the center line of the input shaft 4 and the reversing shaft 11. The motor input component is installed in the upper gearbox 35 and the middle gearbox 36, the diesel input component and the reversing shaft component are installed in the middle gearbox 36 and the lower gearbox 37, and the output shaft component is installed in the lower gearbox 37. This facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the gearbox. The motor input component can be removed by lifting the upper gearbox 35, and the diesel input shaft component and the reversing shaft component can be removed by lifting the middle gearbox 36 for maintenance such as replacing friction plates.
