[0003] The above technical solution has the following disadvantages: it can only add oil to the axle housing and cannot introduce hydraulic oil into the differential housing. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an axle hydraulic circuit structure that addresses the above problems by introducing hydraulic oil into the differential housing, making it convenient to install devices requiring hydraulic drive in the differential housing.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses an axle oil circuit structure, including an axle housing, in which a driven bevel gear, a first half-shaft bevel gear, and a second half-shaft bevel gear are installed. The first half-shaft bevel gear is connected to a first half-shaft, and the second half-shaft bevel gear is connected to a second half-shaft. It also includes a differential housing, in which the driven bevel gear is fixedly connected to the outside of the differential housing, and the first half-shaft bevel gear is rotatably connected to the inside of the differential housing. The differential housing has a toothed back sleeve that can be fitted onto the first half-shaft. A first oil port is located at the connection between the toothed back sleeve extending into the differential housing and the differential housing. A second oil port is provided on the side of the toothed back sleeve extending out of the differential housing. A first oil circuit is provided on the toothed back sleeve that connects the first oil port and the second oil port.
[0006] During use, hydraulic oil enters the differential housing through the second oil port, the first oil passage, and the first oil port, making it convenient to use.
[0007] Preferably, a sealing sleeve is placed between the axle housing and the tooth back sleeve, and a second oil passage is opened on the sealing sleeve corresponding to the second oil port. Two sealing rings are placed between the sealing sleeve and the tooth back sleeve, and the two sealing rings are located on both sides of the second oil port. A third oil passage is opened on the axle housing corresponding to the second oil passage.
[0008] During use, the hydraulic oil passes through the third oil passage, the second oil passage, the second oil port, the first oil passage, and the first oil port in sequence before entering the differential housing, making it convenient to use.
[0009] Preferably, a piston is slidably connected inside the differential housing, and the first oil port is located on the side of the piston near the back of the teeth. Hydraulic oil enters the differential housing through the first oil port and drives the piston to move hydraulically.
[0010] When in use, it facilitates the movement of the piston by hydraulic oil.
[0011] Preferably, the first oil port is positioned facing the piston.
[0012] When in use, it facilitates the movement of the piston by hydraulic oil.
[0013] Preferably, a number of double-sided friction plates or synchronous steel plates are installed on the driven bevel gear, and a number of synchronous steel plates or double-sided friction plates are correspondingly installed on the first half-shaft bevel gear. The number of double-sided friction plates and the number of synchronous steel plates are alternately arranged, and the piston is used to press the number of double-sided friction plates and the number of synchronous steel plates together.
[0014] Under normal driving conditions, several double-sided friction plates and several synchronized steel plates are in a separated state, and the differential allows the left and right wheels to freely differentiate speeds to meet cornering requirements. If a wheel slips or the vehicle is understeer, the piston presses the double-sided friction plates and synchronized steel plates together. When one wheel slips, the double-sided friction plates and synchronized steel plates are pressed together, and the driven bevel gear, the first half-shaft bevel gear, and the second half-shaft bevel gear engage as a whole. The limited-slip differential can quickly transfer driving force to the other wheel, distributing the entire power to both wheels, thereby improving the vehicle's ability to get out of trouble and its driving stability. This type of axle is particularly useful in muddy or uneven terrain and in agricultural operations.
[0015] Preferably, several double-sided friction plates or synchronous steel plates are located on the inner sidewall of the differential housing.
[0016] Under normal driving conditions, no hydraulic oil enters the differential housing through the first oil port. The piston is away from the double-sided friction plates and the synchronization steel plates, and the double-sided friction plates and synchronization steel plates are separated. The differential allows the left and right wheels to freely differential, meeting the needs of cornering. If the wheels are slipping or the vehicle is understeering, hydraulic oil enters the differential housing through the first oil port, hydraulically pushing the piston to move and pressing several double-sided friction plates and several synchronization steel plates together. This structure is simple and easy to use.
[0017] Preferably, the differential housing includes a back differential housing and a surface differential housing. A surface flange is connected to the surface differential housing. The connecting bolts pass through the back differential housing and the surface flange in sequence and are then threadedly connected to the driven bevel gear.
[0018] This structure facilitates the installation of the tooth back difference housing, tooth surface difference housing, and driven bevel gear.
[0019] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: during use, hydraulic oil enters the differential housing after passing through the second oil port, the first oil circuit, and the first oil port, which facilitates the installation of devices requiring hydraulic drive in the differential housing.

[0029] Example 1, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an axle hydraulic circuit structure includes an axle housing 34, within which a driven bevel gear 13, a first half-shaft bevel gear 4, and a second half-shaft bevel gear 5 are installed. The first half-shaft bevel gear 4 is connected to a first half-shaft 1, and the second half-shaft bevel gear 5 is connected to a second half-shaft 2. A driving bevel gear 6 meshes with the driven bevel gear 13 and is connected to a driving shaft 3. The axle housing also includes a differential housing. The driven bevel gear 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the differential housing, and the first half-shaft bevel gear 4 is rotatably connected to the inside of the differential housing. The differential housing has a toothed back sleeve 8 that can be fitted onto the first half-shaft 1. A first oil port 22 is located at the connection point between the toothed back sleeve 8 extending into the differential housing and the differential housing. A second oil port 20 is provided on the side of the toothed back sleeve 8 extending out of the differential housing. A first oil passage 21 connecting the first oil port 22 and the second oil port 20 is provided on the toothed back sleeve 8. In operation, hydraulic oil enters the differential housing through the second oil port 20, the first oil passage 21, and the first oil port 22 for convenient use. A sealing sleeve 28 is placed between the axle housing 34 and the gear back sleeve 8. The sealing sleeve 28 has a second oil passage 26 corresponding to the second oil port 20. Two sealing rings 29 are placed between the sealing sleeve 28 and the gear back sleeve 8, located on both sides of the second oil port 20. A third oil passage 27 corresponding to the second oil passage 26 is provided on the axle housing 34. In operation, hydraulic oil enters the differential housing sequentially through the third oil passage 27, the second oil passage 26, the second oil port 20, the first oil passage 21, and the first oil port 22 for convenient use.
[0030] Specifically, a piston 23 is slidably connected inside the differential housing. A first oil port 22 is located on the side of the piston 23 near the back of the gear teeth. Hydraulic oil enters the differential housing through the first oil port 22, hydraulically driving the piston 23. The first oil port 22 is oriented towards the piston 23 for easy hydraulic oil movement during use. Several double-sided friction plates 24 or synchronous steel plates 25 are mounted on the driven bevel gear 13, and several synchronous steel plates 25 or double-sided friction plates 24 are correspondingly mounted on the first half-shaft bevel gear 4. The double-sided friction plates 24 and synchronous steel plates 25 are alternately arranged, and the piston 23 presses the double-sided friction plates 24 and synchronous steel plates 25 together. Under normal driving conditions, the double-sided friction plates 24 and synchronous steel plates 25 are separated, allowing the left and right wheels to freely differential, meeting turning requirements. If the wheels slip or the vehicle is understeer, the piston 23 presses the double-sided friction plates 24 and synchronous steel plates 25 together. When one wheel slips, several double-sided friction plates 24 and several synchronous steel plates 25 are pressed together, and the driven bevel gear 13, the first half-shaft bevel gear 4 and the second half-shaft bevel gear 5 are combined into a whole. The limited-slip differential can quickly transfer the driving force to the other wheel, so that the entire power is distributed to both wheels, thereby improving the vehicle's ability to get out of trouble and driving stability. This type of axle is especially useful in muddy or uneven terrain and in farmland operations.
[0031] Specifically, several double-sided friction plates 24 or synchronized steel plates 25 are located on the inner wall of the differential housing. The drive structure includes a first oil port 22 located on the side of the piston 23 away from the double-sided friction plates 24 or synchronized steel plates 25. Hydraulic oil enters the differential housing through the first oil port 22, hydraulically driving the piston 23 to move. Under normal driving conditions, no hydraulic oil enters the differential housing through the first oil port 22, the piston 23 is away from the double-sided friction plates 24 and synchronized steel plates 25, and the double-sided friction plates 24 and synchronized steel plates 25 are separated. The differential allows the left and right wheels to freely differential, meeting the turning requirements. If the wheels are slipping or the vehicle is understeer, hydraulic oil enters the differential housing through the first oil port 22, hydraulically driving the piston 23 to move, pressing the double-sided friction plates 24 and synchronized steel plates 25 together. This structure is simple and easy to use. The differential housing includes a back-tooth differential housing 7 and a front-tooth differential housing 11. A front-tooth flange 12 is connected to the front-tooth differential housing 11. Connecting bolts 10 pass through the back-tooth differential housing 7 and the front-tooth flange 12 in sequence and are threadedly connected to the driven bevel gear 13. This structure facilitates the installation of the back-tooth differential housing 7, the front-tooth differential housing 11, and the driven bevel gear 13. A planetary gear shaft 15 is mounted on the front-tooth differential housing 11, and a planetary gear 14 is mounted on the planetary gear shaft 15. The first half-shaft bevel gear 4 and the second half-shaft bevel gear 5 both mesh with the planetary gear 14. Specifically, a planetary gear bracket 16 is connected to the front-tooth differential housing 11, and a locating pin 17 for fixing the planetary gear shaft 15 is mounted on the planetary gear bracket 16. Under normal driving conditions, the piston 23 is away from the double-sided friction plate 24 and the synchronizing steel plate 25. With the double-sided friction plate 24 and the synchronizing steel plate 25 separated, the differential allows the left and right wheels to freely differential, meeting the turning requirements.
[0032] Specifically, a tooth surface sleeve 18, which can be fitted onto the second half-shaft 2, is connected to the tooth surface differential housing 11. A tooth back bearing seat 31 is installed inside the back differential housing 7, and a tooth back bearing 9 is installed between the tooth back sleeve 8 and the tooth back bearing seat 31. A tooth surface bearing seat 32 is installed inside the tooth surface differential housing 11, and a tooth surface bearing 19 is installed between the tooth surface sleeve 18 and the tooth surface bearing seat 32. A tooth back locking nut 30 is connected to the end of the back differential housing 7, and a tooth surface locking nut 33 is connected to the end of the tooth surface differential housing 11. This structure facilitates the installation between the differential housing and the bridge housing 34.
