Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mining machinery technology, specifically relating to an integrated device for driving a cooling fan and a hydraulic pump, and an electric wheel mining truck. Background Technology
[0002] As mines expand and mining depths increase year by year, the difficulty and complexity of mining operations also gradually increase. To improve mining efficiency and reduce labor and vehicle operating costs, the trend towards larger mining trucks is becoming increasingly evident, especially with electric wheel mining trucks gradually becoming mainstream. However, existing electric wheel mining trucks have some shortcomings in their power transmission mechanisms, particularly in power transmission efficiency and cooling systems.
[0003] Traditional electric wheel mining truck hydraulic systems include lifting, hydraulic braking, and hydraulic steering systems, all crucial for the operation of the mining truck. However, the electric wheels are connected to the main drive shaft at the rear of the main generator via a universal joint. This design increases the axial dimension of the generator, thus adding to its weight. As the vehicle's weight increases, the power transmission efficiency of the mining truck gradually decreases, making it difficult to meet the ever-growing operational demands.
[0004] Furthermore, the electrical control cabinet, power components, and electric wheel traction motor of the electric wheel mining truck generate a large amount of heat during operation, requiring effective heat dissipation design. Currently, these components mainly rely on air cooling. Although this can meet cooling requirements in some situations, for large mining trucks, especially under heavy loads, the effectiveness and efficiency of the air cooling system are insufficient. Moreover, the air cooling system consumes a lot of power, increasing the vehicle's energy consumption and affecting overall operating efficiency.
[0005] Furthermore, existing designs rely on traditional cooling fans for heat dissipation. While high-performance mining trucks may be equipped with independent cooling fans, the cooling effect of traditional cooling fans is insufficient as the size of mining trucks increases. To ensure normal operation, cooling fans with larger airflow and air pressure are required, which further increases the axial dimension of the generator and the weight of the motor. Large cooling fans also require additional electrical control systems and control costs, increasing manufacturing and maintenance costs, and making the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of mining trucks more complex and expensive.
[0006] In summary, the power transmission efficiency and heat dissipation system design of mining trucks face many challenges. Optimization is needed to improve the working efficiency of mining trucks, reduce energy consumption, and lower subsequent use and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

These are merely for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0028] Furthermore, the use of the term "horizontal" does not imply that the component must be absolutely horizontal, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
[0029] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] This utility model provides an integrated device for driving a cooling fan and a hydraulic pump, including a drive motor 1, one end of which is connected to a drive motor transmission shaft 2, the drive motor transmission shaft 2 passing through a cooling fan 3, and a transmission flange 4 provided at the other end of the drive motor transmission shaft 2 extending out of the cooling fan 3, the transmission flange 4 being connected to a hydraulic pump 6 via a universal joint 5; the drive motor 1, the cooling fan 3, and the hydraulic pump 6 are coaxially arranged.
[0031] This invention integrates the drive motor 1, cooling fan, and hydraulic pump through a streamlined design, reducing the number of components and significantly lowering the overall vehicle procurement cost. Compared to existing systems that require multiple individual components, this integrated device uses a coaxial series structure of "drive motor + cooling fan + hydraulic pump," optimizing the use of installation space and significantly improving the compactness of the spatial layout. Furthermore, this integrated device effectively reduces the axial dimension and weight of the main generator, lowering the overall vehicle weight, improving energy efficiency, and reducing transportation and operating costs. The integrated design of this device makes system disassembly and replacement more convenient, and significantly improves subsequent maintenance efficiency.
[0032] In some embodiments, the cooling fan 3 includes a fan volute and a fan impeller. The fan volute is fixedly connected to the drive motor 1 via a threaded connector. The fan impeller is disposed inside the fan volute and fixedly connected to the drive motor transmission shaft 2. The fan impeller includes blades and a hub. The blades are disposed on the hub, and a fan seat is disposed inside the hub. The fan seat is fixedly connected to the drive motor transmission shaft 2 via a spline sleeve. The fan volute includes a vent 7 and an outlet 8, which are disposed on the same side. The vent 7 is close to the drive motor 1, and the outlet 8 is close to the hydraulic pump 6. The drive motor 1 and the cooling fan 3 transmit torque through the drive motor transmission shaft 2.
[0033] In some embodiments, the drive motor 1 is a permanent magnet synchronous motor, which can be controlled by FOC vector control. The outer diameter of the drive motor 1 is 400~450mm, and the power is 350~400kW. Preferably, the outer diameter of the drive motor 1 is 430mm, the power is 360kW, and the torque is 1800N.m. The drive motor 1 uses FOC vector control and serves as the sole power source to drive the cooling fan 3 and the hydraulic pump 6. The use of a permanent magnet synchronous motor provides higher working efficiency due to its high efficiency and low loss characteristics. The drive motor has a smaller outer diameter and suitable power and torque, which facilitates the selection and matching of the controller. In addition, the small outer diameter drive motor in the integrated device can also meet the needs of the cooling fan 3 and the hydraulic pump 6, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the overall device.
[0034] In some embodiments, the end of the drive motor drive shaft 2 extending out of the cooling fan 3 is provided with a stop and a threaded hole. The drive motor drive shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the transmission flange 4 through a stop and threaded connector; the transmission flange 4 is fixedly connected to the universal joint 5 through a stop and threaded connector. The torque of the drive motor 1 is transmitted to the hydraulic pump 6 through the transmission flange 4 and the universal joint 5, ultimately driving the hydraulic pump 6 to rotate together with the drive motor 1. The universal joint 5 is used to connect the hydraulic pump 6 and the cooling fan 3, avoiding excessive stress concentration and further improving the overall vehicle operating safety.
[0035] This utility model also provides an electric wheel mining truck, which includes an integrated device for driving a cooling fan and a hydraulic pump. This integrated device has a compact design and occupies little space, thus offering greater flexibility and selectivity in the arrangement of the truck's chassis. In use, the drive motor 1 drives the cooling fan 3 and the hydraulic pump 6. The cooling fan 3 draws in air through its inlet and blows the cooling air into the rear axle or converter through its impeller to cool the electric wheel drive motor or converter.
[0036] In summary, through reasonable design optimization, this integrated device can effectively improve the overall performance of the equipment, reduce costs, and improve the convenience of later maintenance. It not only makes the equipment lighter and more energy-efficient, but also greatly reduces production and maintenance costs, bringing long-term economic benefits to enterprises.
