AI Technical Summary
When the drive axle of an existing loader is subjected to heavy loads, the internal gear ring bearing of the wheel-side reducer assembly is prone to fracture due to stress concentration, resulting in structural damage.
A spacer is added to the wheel-side reducer assembly. One end of the spacer has a large chamfer to accommodate the large radius of the internal gear ring, so that the radius of the root of the internal gear ring transitions to a large arc, reducing stress concentration.
It effectively avoids the breakage of the internal gear ring bearing seat, improves the reliability and service life of the drive axle, and has a simple structure and low cost.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of loader drive axle technology, specifically to a loader drive axle wheel-side reducer assembly structure. Background Technology
[0002] A loader drive axle experiences maximum stress at the root of the internal gear ring bearing in its wheel-side reducer assembly under overload or improper operation conditions due to the large torque transmitted by the internal gears. This wheel-side reducer assembly has the following structural drawbacks: The root of the internal gear ring bearing experiences the greatest stress under load because the bearing is a standard part with a small radius (R) at the root. To avoid assembly interference, the radius of the internal gear ring bearing in the wheel-side reducer assembly is required to be smaller than the bearing's radius. This causes stress concentration and damage to the internal gear ring of the wheel-side reducer assembly under heavy loads, easily leading to bearing breakage. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a loader drive axle wheel-side reducer assembly structure that is simple and compact, has low manufacturing and maintenance costs, is safe and reliable in operation, and has a long service life, thereby solving the problem of internal gear ring bearing seat fracture caused by stress concentration in the existing loader drive axle wheel-side reducer assembly under heavy load.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the loader drive axle wheel-side reducer assembly of this utility model includes a wheel housing 1, an internal gear ring 2, a round nut 3, a screw 4, a positioning ring 5, a support shaft 6, a spacer 7, and a bearing 8. The outer ring of the bearing 8 mates with the inner hole seat of the wheel housing 1, and the inner ring mates with the internal gear ring 2, which is mounted on the support shaft 6. The positioning ring 5 is located between the support shaft 6 and the internal gear ring 2. The round nut 3 is mounted at the end of the support shaft 6 to adjust the bearing clearance, and the screw 4 located in the screw hole of the round nut 3 is used to prevent the round nut 3 from loosening. The spacer 7 is mounted at the root bearing position of the internal gear ring 2, and one end of the spacer 7 is provided with a large chamfered spacer R angle 9. The root R angle 10 of the internal gear ring adopts a large arc transition to avoid the internal gear ring bearing position from breaking due to stress concentration. The spacer R angle 9 is used to accommodate the large R angle of the internal gear ring.
[0005] The addition of a spacer to the above-mentioned loader drive axle wheel-side reducer assembly structure has the following technical features and beneficial effects:
[0006] 1. Add a spacer at the mating position of the bearing and the internal gear ring. One end of the spacer is chamfered with a large radius to accommodate the large radius of the internal gear ring. This allows the root of the internal gear ring bearing in the wheel-side reducer assembly to have a large radius transition that meets product requirements, significantly reducing stress. This ensures that the stress at the root of the internal gear ring bearing will not exceed the material properties when the drive axle is under overload. This avoids the problem that the radius of the internal gear ring in the original structure could not be designed to be large, ultimately improving the reliability of the drive axle.
[0007] 2. This structure is simple and compact, with low manufacturing cost, safe and reliable operation, and long service life. It solves the problem of internal gear ring bearing seat fracture caused by stress concentration in the wheel-side reducer assembly of existing loader drive axles under heavy loads.

[0012] The structure of the loader drive axle wheel-side reducer assembly of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0013] Figures 1-3 As shown, the loader drive axle wheel-side reducer assembly of this utility model includes a wheel housing 1, an internal gear ring 2, a round nut 3, a screw 4, a positioning ring 5, a support shaft 6, a spacer 7, and a bearing 8. The outer ring of the bearing 8 mates with the inner hole seat of the wheel housing 1, and the inner ring mates with the internal gear ring 2, which is mounted on the support shaft 6. The positioning ring 5 is located between the support shaft 6 and the internal gear ring 2. The round nut 3 is installed at the end of the support shaft 6 to adjust the bearing clearance, and the screw 4 located in the screw hole of the round nut 3 is used to prevent the round nut 3 from loosening. The spacer 7 is installed at the root bearing position of the internal gear ring 2. One end of the spacer 7 is provided with a large chamfered spacer R angle 9. The root R angle 10 of the internal gear ring adopts a large arc transition to avoid the internal gear ring bearing position from breaking due to stress concentration. The spacer R angle 9 is used to make way for the large R angle of the internal gear ring.
[0014] In the case of overload operation, the wheel-side reducer assembly of the loader drive axle of this utility model has an additional spacer 7. The spacer 7 has a large chamfered spacer R angle 9 to allow for displacement. Therefore, the root R angle 10 of the internal gear ring can adopt a larger R angle. After the root R angle 10 of the internal gear ring is increased, the stress concentration is significantly reduced, and the problem of internal gear ring bearing seat fracture caused by the load exceeding the material strength is avoided.
