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.
[0017] In existing technology, the fit between the motor housing, support sleeve, planetary reducer, internal gear ring, drive sleeve, planetary carrier, oil inlet channel, oil outlet channel, oil guide pipe, oil inlet hole, and oil outlet hole, and the support sleeve between the motor housing and the planetary reducer, along with the circulation channels for lubricating oil inside the motor housing and the support sleeve, creates a continuous lubrication and cooling cycle within the planetary reducer of the electric drive motor. This effectively avoids localized overheating and accelerated oil oxidation within the planetary reducer of the electric drive motor, reduces dry friction and abnormal wear of the gears, and thus significantly reduces the maintenance frequency of the electric drive motor and extends its service life.
[0018] In view of this, the present invention provides an electric crane crawler motor. Through the cooperation of the motor housing, support sleeve, planetary reducer, internal gear ring, drive sleeve, planetary carrier, oil inlet channel, oil outlet channel, guide pipe, oil inlet hole, and oil outlet hole, and by connecting the oil inlet and outlet channels to a lubricating oil circulation and delivery system, lubricating oil is delivered through the oil inlet channel to the guide pipe during the operation of the crawler motor, and then enters the interior of the planetary reducer through the oil inlet hole, effectively lubricating the gears. Simultaneously, the lubricating oil is discharged through the oil outlet hole and oil outlet channel, creating a continuous lubrication and cooling cycle within the planetary reducer of the electric crane. This effectively avoids localized overheating and accelerated oil oxidation within the planetary reducer of the electric crane, reduces dry friction and abnormal wear of the gears, thereby significantly reducing the maintenance frequency of the electric crane and extending its service life.
[0019] Those skilled in the art should connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case via wires. Appropriate controllers and encoders should be selected according to the actual situation to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, where the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control further.
[0020] Depend on Figure 1-4 It is known that an electric-driven crawler travel motor for a crane includes a motor housing 1, with a support sleeve 2 fixedly connected to one end of the motor housing 1. An output shaft 3 is disposed inside the motor housing 1 and rotatably connected to the support sleeve 2. A planetary reducer 4 is disposed at the end of the output shaft 3, and an internal gear ring 5 is disposed on the outer side of the planetary reducer 4. A drive sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the internal gear ring 5 closest to the motor housing 1. The drive sleeve 6 is rotatably connected to both the motor housing 1 and the support sleeve 2. The planetary reducer 4 is located near the support sleeve 2. A planetary carrier 7 is provided on one side. An oil inlet channel 8 is provided inside the motor housing 1 and the support sleeve 2. An oil outlet channel 9 is provided on the side of the motor housing 1 and the support sleeve 2 away from the oil inlet channel 8. An oil guide pipe 10 is connected to the end of the oil inlet channel 8. The oil guide pipe 10 is inserted into the inner wall of the support sleeve 2. An oil inlet hole 11 is provided at equal intervals on the inner side of the outer wall of the planetary carrier 7. The oil inlet hole 11 is corresponding to the oil guide pipe 10. An oil outlet hole 12 is provided at equal intervals on the outer side of the outer wall of the planetary carrier 7. The oil outlet hole 12 is corresponding to the oil outlet channel 9.
[0021] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that, through the cooperation between the motor housing 1 and the output shaft 3, the stator winding is installed inside the motor housing 1, and the rotor is installed on the outer wall of the output shaft 3. When the motor is energized, the stator generates a rotating magnetic field, and the rotor and output shaft 3 begin to rotate under the action of the rotating magnetic field, thereby realizing the rotational drive of the output shaft 3. Through the cooperation between the output shaft 3, the planetary reducer 4, the internal gear ring 5, the drive sleeve 6, and the planetary carrier 7, the output shaft 3 transmits power to the planetary reducer 4. The gear set inside the planetary reducer 4 reduces speed and increases torque, thereby... The drive internal gear ring 5 rotates with the drive sleeve 6, and the drive sleeve 6 is connected to the drive wheel of the crane track to realize the power transmission between the electric drive travel motor and the crane track. The oil inlet 11 is inclined so that the lubricating oil can flow more smoothly into the planetary reducer 4 under the action of centrifugal force. Through the cooperation between the motor housing 1, support sleeve 2, planetary reducer 4, internal gear ring 5, drive sleeve 6, planetary carrier 7, oil inlet channel 8, oil outlet channel 9, oil guide pipe 10, oil inlet 11 and oil outlet 12, the support sleeve 2 drives the electric drive motor. The motor and planetary reducer 4 are isolated. The oil inlet channel 8 and oil outlet channel 9 are connected to the lubricating oil circulation and delivery system. During the operation of the travel motor, lubricating oil is delivered through the oil inlet channel 8 to the oil guide pipe 10, and then enters the interior of the planetary reducer 4 through the oil inlet hole 11, effectively lubricating the gears. Simultaneously, the lubricating oil is discharged through the oil drain hole 12 and oil outlet channel 9, achieving cooling circulation and lubrication of the planetary reducer 4. The system consists of the motor housing 1, support sleeve 2, planetary reducer 4, internal gear ring 5, drive sleeve 6, planetary carrier 7, oil inlet channel 8, and oil outlet channel 9. The fit between the oil passage 9, the oil guide pipe 10, the oil inlet hole 11 and the oil outlet hole 12, and the support sleeve 2 between the motor housing 1 and the planetary reducer 4, and the circulation channel of lubricating oil inside the motor housing 1 and the support sleeve 2, make the planetary reducer 4 of the electric drive motor form a continuous lubrication and cooling cycle. This effectively avoids the problems of local overheating and accelerated oil oxidation inside the planetary reducer 4 of the electric drive motor, reduces dry friction and abnormal wear of gears, thereby significantly reducing the maintenance frequency of the electric drive motor and extending the service life of the electric drive motor.
[0022] Furthermore, a cover plate 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the planetary reducer 4 away from the motor housing 1, and a first sealed bearing 14 is installed on the inner wall of both ends of the support sleeve 2. The inner wall of the first sealed bearing 14 is connected to the output shaft 3. A first bearing 15 is installed on the outer side of the motor housing 1 near the planetary reducer 4, and a second bearing 16 is installed on the outer wall of the support sleeve 2. The outer walls of the first bearing 15 and the second bearing 16 are connected to the drive sleeve 6. An oil seal 17 is provided at the ends of the motor housing 1 and the drive sleeve 6 that are close to each other.
[0023] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the cooperation between the support sleeve 2, the planetary reducer 4, the cover plate 13, and the first sealing bearing 14 effectively seals the interior of the planetary reducer 4, preventing lubricating oil leakage. Through the cooperation between the motor housing 1, the support sleeve 2, the drive sleeve 6, the first bearing 15, the second bearing 16, and the oil seal 17, the drive sleeve 6 is supported and positioned externally by the first bearing 15 and the second bearing 16. The oil seal 17 further seals the space between the motor housing 1 and the drive sleeve 6, effectively improving the sealing performance of the electric drive motor. To prevent external impurities from entering the planetary reducer 4 and ensure stable circulation of lubricating oil, the operation stability and reliability of the electric drive travel motor are improved. Through the cooperation between the motor housing 1, support sleeve 2, planetary reducer 4, drive sleeve 6, cover plate 13, first sealing bearing 14, first bearing 15, second bearing 16 and oil seal 17, the interior of the planetary reducer 4 is effectively sealed to prevent lubricating oil leakage, further improve the sealing performance of the electric drive travel motor, effectively prevent external impurities from entering the planetary reducer 4, and ensure stable circulation of lubricating oil, thereby improving the operation stability and reliability of the electric drive travel motor.
[0024] Furthermore, the outer wall of the motor housing 1 is provided with a first connecting flange 18, and the outer wall of the drive sleeve 6 is provided with a second connecting flange 19.
[0025] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that through the cooperation between the motor housing 1, the drive sleeve 6, the first connecting flange 18 and the second connecting flange 19, the motor housing 1 and the drive sleeve 6 can be easily connected or fixed to the crane frame and the crawler drive wheel, increasing the installation flexibility and ease of use of the electric drive crane crawler motor.
[0026] Furthermore, an end cover 20 is fixedly connected to the end of the motor housing 1 away from the support sleeve 2. An electromagnetic brake 21 is provided on the side of the end cover 20 away from the planetary reducer 4. A brake disc 22 is installed on the end of the output shaft 3 away from the planetary reducer 4. The electromagnetic brake 21 and the brake disc 22 are connected in cooperation.
[0027] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that, through the cooperation between the motor housing 1, end cover 20, electromagnetic brake 21 and brake disc 22, when it is necessary to brake the crawler travel motor of the electric drive crane, the electromagnetic brake 21 is energized to generate magnetic force, which attracts the brake disc 22 to fit tightly with the electromagnetic brake 21, thereby realizing the rapid braking of the travel motor, improving braking efficiency and response speed, effectively reducing the wear and noise that may be caused by traditional mechanical braking methods, ensuring the safety and stability of the crane during operation, and improving the overall user experience. The specific model of the electromagnetic brake 21 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements.
[0028] Furthermore, a dust cover 23 is provided on the outer side of the electromagnetic brake 21. The dust cover 23 is fixedly connected to the end cover 20. A second sealed bearing 24 is installed on the inner wall of the end cover 20. The second sealed bearing 24 is connected to the output shaft 3.
[0029] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the drive motor is sealed by the cooperation between the end cover 20, the dust cover 23, and the second sealed bearing 24, which effectively prevents dust and impurities from entering the drive motor and the electromagnetic brake 21, thus avoiding affecting the performance and service life of the drive motor and the electromagnetic brake 21.
