Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gearbox transmission, specifically to a gearbox output shaft mounting structure for a double-screw oil press. Background Technology
[0002] The twin-screw oil press, as a highly efficient and energy-saving oil extraction device, is widely used in the pressing process of vegetable oilseeds. Its core structure consists of two counter-rotating spiral shafts that squeeze the oil out of the feed through continuously increasing pressure within the press cage. Due to its high oil extraction efficiency, excellent oil yield, and low residual oil content in the dried cake, the twin-screw oil press has been widely used in recent years in the processing of various high-oil-content crops such as peanuts, walnuts, and tea seeds.
[0003] However, in practical applications, the gearbox design of the double-screw oil press suffers from the following technical bottlenecks:
[0004] The oil pressing process of a twin-screw oil press requires a close center distance between the screw shafts to achieve uniform compression and efficient pressing of the material within the pressing chamber. However, in traditional gearboxes, the arrangement of the two output shafts must meet the requirement of a close center distance, which limits the installation space of the output shafts and makes it difficult to guarantee assembly accuracy.
[0005] Because the center distance of the output shaft is relatively close, the support structure design of the output shaft in traditional gearboxes often cannot balance strength and rigidity. It is easy for vibration or uneven load to cause transmission instability, which affects the continuous operation efficiency of the oil press.
[0006] Traditional gearboxes often use a split bearing housing structure. The fit between the output shaft and the bearing housing needs to be adjusted multiple times to meet the coaxiality requirements. This not only increases the assembly difficulty, but also leads to lubricant leakage or impurity intrusion due to unreasonable sealing structure design, further shortening the equipment life.
[0007] In summary, the existing gearbox design of twin-screw oil presses has significant shortcomings in terms of output shaft arrangement, transmission stability, and ease of maintenance. There is an urgent need for a gearbox output shaft installation scheme that is compact, has high assembly precision, stable transmission, and is easy to maintain, in order to meet the core requirements of twin-screw oil presses for high efficiency, long service life, and low maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0008] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a gearbox output shaft mounting structure for a double-screw oil press, which solves the significant deficiencies in the gearbox design of the double-screw oil press in terms of output shaft arrangement, transmission stability, and ease of maintenance.
[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: it includes a drive shaft, an intermediate transmission shaft, and an output shaft installed in the cover and the base and driven by gear meshing. The output shaft consists of a first output shaft and a second output shaft in parallel transmission. A double output bearing seat is provided between the cover and the base. The first output shaft and the second output shaft rotate within the double output bearing seat. Semicircular rings are fixed at both ends of the intermediate bidirectional semicircular ring in the double output bearing seat. The semicircular rings are used to fix the first output shaft and the second output shaft within the intermediate bidirectional semicircular ring for rotation.
[0010] Preferably, a support seat is fixed at the bottom of the housing, and a first bearing seat is fixed inside the support seat, with the end of the second output shaft abutting against the first bearing seat and rotating therein.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the first output shaft abuts against the double output bearing housing and rotates, while the other end abuts against the housing cover and housing housing through the second bearing housing and rotates.
[0012] Preferably, the first output shaft and the second output shaft are provided with meshing gears.
[0013] Preferably, the cover and the base are provided with corresponding arc grooves, and the dual output bearing housing is installed in the arc groove.
[0014] Preferably, the connecting half-faces of the semi-circular ring and the middle bidirectional semi-circular ring are positioned by a hidden pin, and the two ends of the semi-circular ring and the middle bidirectional semi-circular ring are locked and fixed by bolts and nuts.
[0015] Preferably, a bearing is fixedly installed inside the dual-output bearing housing, and a first end cover and a second end cover are fixedly installed at the ends of the dual-output bearing housing, with lip seals installed inside the first end cover and the second end cover.
[0016] The lip seals in the first and second end caps abut against the first and second output shafts.
[0017] This utility model provides a gearbox output shaft mounting structure for a double-screw oil press, with the following advantages:
[0018] 1. By setting up a dual-output bearing housing consisting of a central bidirectional semi-circular ring and two end semi-circular rings, and using concealed pin positioning and bolt locking, the coaxiality and assembly accuracy between the first and second output shafts are ensured.

[0019] 2. Multiple bearing seats are provided at the end of the output shaft, and the half-face structure of the cover and the housing enhances the support rigidity of the output shaft. At the same time, a support seat with stiffeners is provided at the bottom of the housing to provide additional support for the second output shaft, effectively improving the stability and fatigue resistance of the overall structure.
[0020] 3. The dual-output bearing housing adopts an openable structure design, which facilitates the installation, replacement and clearance adjustment of the bearings, reduces the difficulty and time cost of later maintenance, and improves the maintainability and ease of use of the equipment.

The two ends of the semi-circular ring 802 and the intermediate bidirectional semi-circular ring 801 are locked and fixed by bolts and nuts. The internal mounting holes of the dual-output bearing housing 8 are precision-machined after fixing to ensure the assembly accuracy of the semi-circular ring 802 and the intermediate bidirectional semi-circular ring 801. The openable design of the dual-output bearing housing 8 facilitates bearing installation and adjustment of bearing clearance.
