[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0019] like Figures 1-3As shown, a gearbox for a speed reducer includes: an upper housing 1, a lower housing 2, an inner housing 3, a heat dissipation box 4, and a liquid storage tank 5. The upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are fixedly connected by bolts. The inner housing 3 is disposed inside the lower housing 2. The sealed space formed between the inner housing 3 and the lower housing 2 forms a cooling channel 6. A support plate 7 is fixedly disposed between the inner housing 3 and the lower housing 2. The support plate 7 has several water-permeable holes. The outer side of the inner housing 3 is provided with... The lower housing 2 is equipped with heat dissipation fins 8. A liquid inlet 9 is provided at the bottom of the lower housing 2, and a liquid outlet 10 is provided at the top of the lower housing 2. Heat dissipation holes 11 are provided on the walls of the heat dissipation box 4. A serpentine arrangement of heat dissipation pipes 12 is provided inside the heat dissipation box 4. The liquid outlet 10 is connected to one end of the heat dissipation pipe 12, and the other end of the heat dissipation pipe 12 is connected to the liquid storage tank 5. A water inlet pipe 13 is provided between the liquid storage tank 5 and the liquid inlet 9, and a water pump 14 is provided on the water inlet pipe 13.
[0020] Specifically, the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are connected by bolts. The parting surface is usually located on the plane of the axis, which facilitates assembly and maintenance. A gear reduction device is installed inside the housing. When the gearbox housing needs to be cooled, the water pump 14 is started to inject the coolant in the storage tank 5 into the cooling channel 6 through the inlet 9 via the inlet pipe 13. After cooling the oil pool inside the inner housing 3, the coolant flows into the heat dissipation pipe 12 along the outlet 10 of the cooling channel 6. After being ventilated and cooled through the heat dissipation holes 11, it flows back into the storage tank 5 to circulate and cool the gearbox.
[0021] The liquid storage tank 5 has a liquid replenishment port 15 on its top, and a cover 16 is provided on the liquid replenishment port 15. Coolant is added to the liquid storage tank 5 through the liquid replenishment port 15 by opening the cover 16.
[0022] The bottom of the heat sink 4 is provided with several support seats 17, which support the bottom of the heat sink 12.
[0023] A ventilation opening is provided on the side of the heat sink 4. A mounting bracket 18 is fixedly installed inside the ventilation opening. An axial fan 19 is installed inside the mounting bracket 18. A mesh cover 20 is installed on the outside of the mounting bracket 18, and a filter screen 21 is installed on the inside of the mounting bracket 18. The axial fan 19 is turned on to provide forced cooling for the heat pipe 12.
[0024] An oil pump 22 is installed on the outside of the upper housing 1. The oil pump 22 is connected to an oil injector 23, and the nozzle of the oil injector 23 is aligned with the gear meshing point to ensure that the gears are adequately lubricated during operation.
[0025] An oil level indicator 24 is installed on the side wall of the lower housing 2, and an oil drain hole is provided on the side wall of the lower housing 2. A magnetic oil plug 25 is installed in the oil drain hole. The oil drain hole is located at the bottom of the housing for easy replacement of lubricating oil. The magnetic oil plug 25 adsorbs metal wear particles in the lubricating oil, extending the oil's life.
[0026] The top of the upper housing 1 is equipped with a viewing cover 26, and a vent valve 27 is installed on the viewing cover 26. The viewing cover 26 is made of plexiglass or tempered glass and is used to monitor gear meshing and oil level. The vent valve 27 balances the air pressure inside and outside the housing to prevent excessive internal pressure due to temperature rise and oil leakage, or negative pressure that draws in dust. It has built-in filter cotton or molecular sieve to filter moisture and particles in the air.
[0027] The method of using this utility model is as follows: when it is necessary to cool down the gearbox housing, open the cover 16 and add coolant to the storage tank 5 through the replenishment port 15. Start the water pump 14 to inject the coolant in the storage tank 5 into the cooling channel 6 through the inlet port 9 along the water inlet pipe 13. After cooling the oil pool inside the inner housing 3, the coolant flows into the heat dissipation pipe 12 along the outlet port 10 along the cooling channel 6. Turn on the axial fan 19 to force heat dissipation of the heat dissipation pipe 12. After ventilation and heat dissipation through the heat dissipation holes 11, it flows back into the storage tank 5 to circulate and cool the gearbox.
