Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drive mechanism technology, and more specifically, relates to a drive mechanism mounted on a snow-throwing device and a snow-throwing device. Background Technology
[0002] Snow removal equipment is a type of machinery specifically designed for clearing snow. It is widely used on roads, airport runways, and various work areas to ensure smooth traffic flow and efficient operations. Compared to traditional manual snow removal, non-professional equipment, or reliance on imported snow removal equipment, which suffer from low efficiency, complex operation, and insufficient environmental adaptability, domestically produced snow removal equipment has gained widespread market recognition due to its superior efficiency, ease of operation, and excellent environmental adaptability.
[0003] Domestically produced snow-throwing equipment utilizes a cleverly designed snow-throwing fan. Equipped with core components such as blades and a drive shaft, this fan can quickly collect snow from the road surface and throw it to the sides, achieving efficient and rapid snow removal. However, to meet the high-power drive requirements for long-distance snow throwing, existing snow-throwing fans employ a gearbox connected to the engine's transmission, which in turn drives the rotating shaft to rotate the fan. In practical applications, because the snow-throwing fan operates at a constant speed, the gearbox's function of adjusting engine output speed and torque is not fully utilized, leading to increased drive mechanism costs and low utilization. Furthermore, the space occupied due to this low utilization hinders the optimization of the snow-throwing equipment's structural layout. Therefore, further improvements are needed to the existing snow-throwing fan drive mechanism, which suffers from the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of low utilization rate caused by functional redundancy in the drive mechanism of existing snow-throwing fans, which leads to increased cost of the drive mechanism and is not conducive to the optimization of the structural layout of snow-throwing equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a drive mechanism mounted on a snow-throwing device and a snow-throwing device.
[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a drive mechanism is provided for a snow-throwing device, the snow-throwing device including a snow-throwing mechanism and an engine, the engine being able to drive the snow-throwing mechanism through the drive mechanism;
[0007] The drive mechanism includes a transmission component, a drive component, and a reducer;
[0008] The drive component is connected to the engine via the transmission component;
[0009] The reducer includes a housing and a driving gear and a driven gear arranged in the housing. The driving end of the driving gear is connected to the driving member to drive the driven gear meshing with it to rotate. An output shaft for driving the snow-throwing mechanism is provided inside the driven gear.
[0010] Optionally, the driven gear is provided with a first support assembly and a second support assembly symmetrically arranged on both sides for supporting the output shaft.
[0011] Optionally, both the first support assembly and the second support assembly include two bearings disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the output shaft and a drain cover disposed at one end of the two bearings away from the driven gear. The drain cover is used to drain the oil that is driven by the driving gear and / or the driven gear and splashed into the drain cover to the ends of the two bearings.
[0012] Optionally, the drain cover is provided with an oil receiving groove with an upward opening for receiving the oil and a drain channel for draining the oil.
[0013] Optionally, the upper end of the housing is provided with a vent plug for adjusting the internal air pressure of the housing and an oil baffle for preventing the oil from leaking out from the vent plug.
[0014] Alternatively, the drive end of the drive gear is connected to the drive member via a spline-shaped connector disposed therein.
[0015] Optionally, the transmission end of the output terminal is provided with a rectangular key-shaped connector for connecting to the snow-throwing mechanism.
[0016] Alternatively, the transmission component is a PTO (Power Take-Off) device.

[0018] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a snow-throwing device is also provided, including a drive mechanism mounted on the snow-throwing device as described above.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0020] This invention proposes a drive mechanism for snow-throwing equipment. The mechanism comprises a transmission component, a drive component, and a reducer. The drive component is connected to the engine via the transmission component. The reducer includes a housing and a driving gear and a driven gear housed within the housing. The driving end of the driving gear is connected to the drive component to drive the meshing driven gear. An output shaft for driving the snow-throwing mechanism passes through the driven gear. Compared to existing snow-throwing fan drive mechanisms, this invention's drive mechanism uses a structure combining a drive component and a reducer to achieve constant operating speed for the snow-throwing mechanism. By fully utilizing this simple and single-function drive mechanism, not only can the cost of the drive mechanism be significantly reduced, but its utilization rate can also be improved while ensuring the operational stability of the snow-throwing mechanism. Furthermore, the transmission component of this invention's drive mechanism can not only transmit power between the engine and the drive component but also transmit power between the engine and other mechanisms of the snow-throwing equipment, such as a hydraulic pump.

Obviously, the one or more embodiments of this utility model described below are merely one or more specific ways to implement the technical solution of this utility model, and are not exhaustive.

[0043] Example: Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of a drive mechanism mounted on a snow-throwing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of a drainage cover according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0044] Reference Figure 1-2 An embodiment of this utility model provides a drive mechanism mounted on a snow-throwing device. The snow-throwing device includes a snow-throwing mechanism and an engine, and the engine can drive the snow-throwing mechanism through the drive mechanism.
[0045] The drive mechanism includes a transmission component, a drive component 1, and a reducer;
[0046] Drive component 1 is connected to the engine via a transmission component;
[0047] The reducer includes a housing 2 and a drive gear 3 and a driven gear 4 arranged inside the housing 2. The drive end of the drive gear 3 is connected to the drive member 1 to drive the driven gear 4 that meshes with it to rotate. An output shaft 5 for driving the snow-throwing mechanism is provided inside the driven gear 4.
[0048] In one specific embodiment, the transmission component (not shown in the figure) is a PTO (Power Take-Off). A PTO is a mechanical device used to obtain power from a power source such as an engine and transmit it to external equipment to drive auxiliary equipment or perform a specific function. Its structure and working principle are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, the driving component 1 is a hydraulic motor. A hydraulic motor is a mechanical device that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, outputting rotary or linear motion to drive the operation of the load equipment. Its working principle is as follows... Figure 1 The structures shown are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0050] In one embodiment, the housing 2 is provided with mounting holes 21 for mounting it to the snow-throwing mechanism. Specifically, the mounting holes are threaded holes for connecting to the snow-throwing mechanism via bolts.
[0051] In one embodiment, the upper end of the housing 2 is provided with a vent plug 6 for regulating the internal air pressure of the housing 2 and an oil baffle 7 for preventing oil leakage from the vent plug 6. Specifically, the housing contains oil with a level up to the centerline of the drive gear. The oil is industrial gear oil, used to lubricate the drive gear and driven gear to reduce friction and wear, while also assisting in gear heat dissipation and cleaning.
[0052] When the drive gear and driven gear rotate, they cause the oil to splash around inside the housing, thus lubricating the various components inside the housing.
[0053] In one embodiment, the lower end of the housing 2 is provided with an oil drain plug 8 for releasing oil. This allows for the release and replacement of new oil when the oil deteriorates, reaches its replacement cycle, or requires inspection and maintenance.
[0054] In one specific embodiment, the drive end of the drive gear 3 is connected to the drive member 1 through a spline-shaped connection port 31 disposed therein.
[0055] In one embodiment, a first support assembly and a second support assembly for supporting the output shaft 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the driven gear 3.
[0056] In one embodiment, both the first support assembly and the second support assembly include two bearings 9 disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the output shaft 5 and a drain cover 10 disposed at one end of the two bearings away from the driven gear 4. The drain cover 10 is used to drain the oil that is driven by the driving gear 3 and / or the driven gear 4 and splashed into the drain cover 10 to the ends of the two bearings 9.
[0057] In one specific embodiment, the drain cover 10 is provided with an oil receiving groove 101 for receiving oil and having an upward opening, and a drain channel 102 for draining oil.
[0058] Specifically, the two bearings not only support the output shaft, but also improve its transmission accuracy and reliability, reduce transmission errors, and reduce noise and vibration in the oil.
[0059] While the oil can splash onto the end of the two bearings closest to the driven gear, it struggles to reach the end furthest from the driven gear. Furthermore, due to the driving or driven gear, the splashing speed and volume of the oil are significant. After splashing onto the upper part or side wall of the housing, the oil is then driven downwards or in other directions by gravity, mechanical vibration, or other oil-related forces. Based on this characteristic, this invention incorporates an upward-opening oil receiving groove and a drainage channel connecting to the end of the two bearings furthest from the driven gear within the drainage cover plate, thus achieving lubrication of the two bearings.
[0060] In addition, four bearings of the same number and structure as the output shaft are also arranged on both sides of the drive gear to ensure the transmission accuracy and reliability of the drive gear.
[0061] In one specific embodiment, the transmission end of the output end 5 is provided with a rectangular key-shaped connector 51 for connecting to the snow-throwing mechanism. Specifically, a protrusion for supporting the snow-throwing mechanism is provided on the drain cover plate near the connector.
[0062] When the drive mechanism of this utility model drives the snow-throwing mechanism, firstly, the engine can be controlled to drive the transmission component. At the same time, the drive component, driven by the transmission component, drives the driving gear to rotate, and the driven gear and output shaft rotate accordingly, driving the snow-throwing mechanism to perform snow-throwing operations.
[0063] The drive mechanism for a snow-throwing device proposed in this utility model comprises a transmission component, a drive component, and a reducer. The drive component is connected to the engine via the transmission component. The reducer includes a housing and a drive gear and a driven gear arranged within the housing. The drive end of the drive gear is connected to the drive component to drive the driven gear meshing with it to rotate. An output shaft for driving the snow-throwing mechanism is provided inside the driven gear.
[0064] Therefore, compared with existing snow-throwing fan drive mechanisms, the drive mechanism of this invention adopts a structural design combining a drive component and a reducer to achieve constant operating speed for the snow-throwing mechanism. By fully utilizing this simple and single-function drive mechanism, not only can the cost of the drive mechanism be significantly reduced, but its utilization rate can also be improved while ensuring the operational stability of the snow-throwing mechanism. Furthermore, the transmission component of the drive mechanism of this invention can not only realize power transmission between the engine and the drive component, but also realize transmission between the engine and other mechanisms of the snow-throwing equipment, such as the hydraulic pump. This facilitates the rational optimization of the structural layout of the snow-throwing equipment, resulting in greater flexibility and improved overall performance.
[0065] Furthermore, this invention also achieves lubrication of the end of the bearing furthest from the driven gear by setting a drainage cover plate.
[0066] Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a snow-throwing device, including a drive mechanism mounted on the snow-throwing device according to any of the above embodiments.
[0067] While one or more embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention can be implemented in any other form without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, the embodiments described above are illustrative and not restrictive, and many modifications and substitutions will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
