Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, and in particular to a drive axle noise reduction package, a drive axle noise reduction structure, and engineering machinery. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the electrification of loaders has become a key development direction in the industry. Compared with traditional loaders, electric loaders lack the masking effect of engine noise, resulting in prominent transmission system noise when the machine is moving (including gear meshing squealing noise and gear pair knocking noise, etc.), which seriously affects the external sound power of the machine, the noise level near the driver's ear, and the sound quality.

[0003] The electric drive assembly of a certain type of electric loader mainly consists of a drive motor, a gearbox, and a drive axle. The motor drives the gearbox, and the output of the gearbox is connected to the drive axle to drive the vehicle. Because this type of electric loader is designed for a high speed (up to 40 km / h), the noise from its travel system is very prominent during operation. Analysis revealed that the main noise source is the main transmission gear pair (a pair of spiral bevel gears) of the drive axle. Despite measures such as optimizing gear machining precision, tooth profile, tooth backlash, and increasing the axle housing thickness, the noise reduction effect was minimal, and the cost was high. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a drive axle noise reduction package, drive axle noise reduction structure, and engineering machinery to solve the noise problem of the main transmission gear pair (a pair of spiral bevel gears) of the drive axle in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a drive axle noise reduction package, which is a flexible noise reduction package. The drive axle noise reduction package includes an inner protective layer, a sound-absorbing layer, and an outer protective layer. The inner protective layer is the inner wall of the drive axle noise reduction package, and the outer protective layer is the outer wall of the drive axle noise reduction package. The sound-absorbing layer is located between the inner and outer protective layers. The drive axle noise reduction package is cylindrical, with its axial direction extending left and right. It has openings at both ends, a cylindrical cavity through which the drive axle can pass, a sleeve hole through which the input end of the drive axle can pass on the front sidewall, and a through-slit along the left and right sides on the rear sidewall. Several fixing holes are provided on the upper and lower edges of the through-slit.

[0006] Furthermore, the sidewall of the drive axle noise reduction package is provided with several openings for bolt installation and axle housing maintenance.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper edge of the inspection window is connected to a first bolt removal and installation window, which is rectangular in shape.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper and lower edges of the gap are provided with two fixing holes distributed along the left and right sides, and the two fixing holes on the upper edge correspond one-to-one with the two fixing holes on the lower edge.

[0010] Furthermore, the front lower side wall of the drive axle noise reduction package is provided with a second bolt removal and installation window, which is rectangular in shape, and the rear lower side wall of the drive axle noise reduction package is provided with a third bolt removal and installation window, which is convex in shape.

[0011] Furthermore, the sleeve hole is cylindrical in shape and protrudes outward.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing holes are secured using bolts or ropes.

[0013] This utility model provides a drive bridge noise reduction structure, including a drive bridge and a drive bridge noise reduction package as described in any of the above technical solutions. The drive bridge noise reduction package is sleeved on the drive bridge, and the sleeve hole is sleeved on the input end of the drive bridge.

[0014] This utility model provides an engineering machinery, including an engineering machinery body, and also includes a drive axle noise reduction package or a drive axle noise reduction structure as described in any of the above technical solutions, wherein the drive axle noise reduction package or the drive axle noise reduction structure is disposed on the engineering machinery body.

[0015] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The structure of this utility model is reasonable. (1) By setting the drive bridge noise reduction package as a flexible noise reduction package, the drive bridge noise reduction package includes an inner protective layer, a sound-absorbing layer and an outer protective layer.

From this analysis, it can be seen that the drive axle noise reduction measure of this utility model is low in cost, easy to implement, and has excellent noise reduction effect.

[0025] Specifically, the side wall of the drive axle noise reduction package 1 has several openings for bolt installation and axle housing maintenance. Function: These openings facilitate bolt installation of the drive axle and maintenance of the axle housing.

[0026] Specifically, the rear sidewall of the drive axle noise reduction package 1 is provided with a circular inspection window 106.
