Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, specifically to a bucket wheel mechanism and a bucket wheel excavator / loader. Background Technology

[0002] The bucket wheel mechanism is one of the more important components of a bucket wheel stacker-reclaimer. Its function is to retrieve materials onto the machine through rotation. It typically includes the bucket wheel and its drive unit.

[0003] There are two main drive methods for existing bucket wheels: motor + reducer drive and low-speed high-torque motor direct drive. Due to torque limitations, low-speed high-torque motors are mainly used in bucket wheel equipment with relatively low torque requirements. Whether it is motor + reducer drive or low-speed high-torque motor drive, it is placed on the outside of the bucket wheel boom and away from the bucket wheel end. This arrangement is simple and convenient for maintenance and repair, but this arrangement increases the axial length of the bucket wheel, causing the bucket wheel boom to interfere with the material when rotating towards the motor side, and reducing the rotation amplitude.

[0004] In the motor + reducer mode, the motor is a three-phase asynchronous motor and the reducer is a cylindrical gear reducer; both the motor and the reducer are relatively heavy in size and weight, which is also detrimental to the stability of the bucket wheel excavator. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a bucket wheel mechanism and a bucket wheel excavator to solve the problem of excessive axial length of the bucket wheel shaft, while improving the stability of the whole machine.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bucket wheel mechanism, including a bucket wheel and a bucket wheel boom, further comprising: a bucket wheel boom, the bucket wheel boom being disposed on the bucket wheel boom; a bucket wheel shaft, the bucket wheel shaft being rotatably disposed on the bucket wheel shaft, and one end of the bucket wheel shaft being connected to the bucket wheel via a connector; a travel reducer, the travel reducer being embedded in the end of the bucket wheel shaft away from the bucket wheel, and the travel reducer being connected to the bucket wheel boom via a transition sleeve; and a hydraulic motor, the hydraulic motor being inserted into the travel reducer; wherein, the end face of the output end of the travel reducer is connected to the bucket wheel shaft.

[0007] Furthermore, the bucket wheel shaft has a hollow stepped shaft structure, and the travel reducer is embedded in the cavity at the end of the bucket wheel shaft away from the bucket wheel, and the end face of the bucket wheel shaft away from the bucket wheel is connected to the end face of the output end of the travel reducer.

[0008] Furthermore, the bucket wheel boom includes: a hollow sleeve disposed on the bucket wheel boom frame; a first mounting support disposed inside the hollow sleeve; and a second mounting support disposed inside the hollow sleeve; wherein the bucket wheel shaft is movably connected to the first and second mounting supports via bearings.

[0009] Furthermore, the bucket wheel arm also includes: a right-side connecting plate, which is disposed at one end of the hollow sleeve adjacent to the travel reducer; wherein, the right-side connecting plate is used to install the transition sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, the bucket wheel arm also includes: a left connecting plate, which is disposed at the other end of the hollow sleeve; wherein, the left connecting plate is provided with a bracket for installing the skeleton oil seal.

[0011] Furthermore, a skeleton oil seal is provided between the right-side connecting plate and the bucket wheel shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, the hollow sleeve is provided with an oil injection device for bearing lubrication.

[0013] Furthermore, the connector is an expansion sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, the hydraulic motor is flange-connected and inserted into the travel reducer.

[0015] A bucket wheel excavator is provided, wherein the bucket wheel excavator is equipped with the aforementioned bucket wheel mechanism.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a bucket wheel mechanism, including a bucket wheel boom 7, on which a bucket wheel arm 8 is mounted; it also includes a bucket wheel shaft 3, which passes through the bucket wheel arm 8 and is rotatably mounted on the bucket wheel arm 8; the bucket wheel shaft 3 has a hollow stepped shaft structure, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the left end of the bucket wheel shaft 3 extends into the bucket wheel arm 8, and the left end of the bucket wheel shaft 3 is connected to the bucket wheel 1 via a connector 2. Specifically, the connector 2 can be an expansion sleeve, which facilitates disassembly and assembly and also reduces the wall thickness of the bucket wheel shaft 3. The right end of the bucket wheel shaft 3 is fitted with a travel reducer 6. Specifically, the travel reducer 6 is fitted into the cavity at the right end of the bucket wheel shaft 3. The right end face of the bucket wheel shaft 3 is provided with a mounting hole for connecting with the end face of the output end (i.e., the end of the reduction output) of the travel reducer 6. The outer side of the travel reducer 6 is connected to the bucket wheel arm 7 via a transition sleeve 9, and the hydraulic motor 10 is directly inserted into the travel reducer 6 via a flange connection. The travel reducer 6 is driven by the hydraulic motor 10, and the travel reducer 6 drives the bucket wheel shaft 3 to rotate, thereby driving the bucket wheel 1 to rotate.

[0029] The bucket wheel boom 8 includes a hollow sleeve 803 cylinder welded to the bucket wheel boom frame 7. A first mounting support 802 and a second mounting support 804 are welded inside the hollow sleeve 803 cylinder. Bearings 5 ​​connect the bucket wheel shaft 3 to both the first and second mounting supports 802 and 804. A left connecting plate 801 and a right connecting plate 805 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the hollow sleeve 803 cylinder. A flat surface and holes are machined on the left connecting plate 801 for mounting a support for the skeleton oil seal 4; that is, a skeleton oil seal 4 is provided between the support and the bucket wheel shaft 3. A skeleton oil seal 4 is provided between the right connecting plate 805 and the bucket wheel shaft 3, and a flat surface and holes are machined on the right connecting plate 805 for mounting a transition sleeve 9.

[0030] In this embodiment, a travel reducer 6 and a hydraulic motor 10 replace the traditional cylindrical gear reducer and three-phase asynchronous motor, respectively. The hydraulic motor 10 is inserted into the travel reducer 6, which is equivalent to partial embedding. The travel reducer 6 has the advantage of compact structure. The hydraulic motor 10 is directly inserted into the travel reducer 6, thereby effectively shortening the axial dimension of the bucket wheel shaft 3. At the same time, it can also reduce the weight of the front end of the bucket wheel arm 8 and improve the stability of the whole machine. In this embodiment, changing the series-connected components to embedded ones has a significant effect on shortening the axial dimension.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] See again Figures 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment can be equipped with an oil injection device for lubricating the bearing 5 on the hollow sleeve 803. Since the skeleton oil seal 4 is provided, a sealed space can be formed inside the bucket wheel arm 8. By injecting grease through the oil injection device, the bearing 5 can be lubricated, thus solving the problem of lubricating the bearing 5 during the transmission of the bucket wheel shaft 3.
