Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gearbox technology, and specifically to a gearbox mechanism with a lubrication structure. Background Technology
[0002] The gearbox is a core component of a mechanical transmission system. Its internal parts require proper lubrication to reduce friction, minimize wear, aid in heat dissipation, and ensure transmission efficiency. For example, the electric loader gearbox assembly disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN213655621U, while innovative, still has shortcomings. Currently, traditional gearboxes mostly use splash lubrication, where oil is splashed to various lubrication points by the rotation of gears. However, this lubrication method has significant drawbacks, resulting in uneven lubrication. For parts far from the splash area or those moving at low speeds, sufficient lubrication is often difficult to achieve. Over time, this accelerates wear on components, affecting the overall performance and lifespan of the gearbox. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a gearbox mechanism with a lubrication structure.
[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A gearbox mechanism with a lubrication structure includes a housing, and an input shaft assembly and an intermediate shaft assembly located within the housing, wherein:
[0006] The housing has an oil passage hole I and an oil passage bolt. Oil enters the oil passage bolt through the oil passage hole I, and then enters the input shaft assembly through the channel on the oil passage plug. It also has an oil passage hole II, a small oil passage hole III, and a small oil passage hole IV. Oil enters the housing through the oil passage hole II, and then enters the intermediate shaft assembly through the small oil passage holes III and IV. An oil collection groove and a lubrication hole are also provided. The oil collection groove is connected to the lubrication hole, and some oil flows into the oil collection groove and then enters the right / left bearing of the input shaft assembly through the lubrication hole. Finally, an oil return hole is provided, connected to the oil sump.
[0007] This technical solution optimizes the gearbox structure and adds a forced lubrication mechanism to achieve forced lubrication. An electronic oil pump actively draws oil, creating a pressurized lubricating oil flow that is delivered into the gearbox. Simultaneously, the working status of the forced lubrication mechanism is monitored, and the oil outlet pipe ensures the gearbox receives sufficient lubricating oil, effectively reducing friction and wear and ensuring normal gearbox operation. Specifically, oil enters the oil vent bolt through oil vent I, and then through the channel on the oil vent plug, allowing sufficient oil to enter the input shaft assembly. Based on changes in parameters such as the input shaft assembly speed and load, the electronic oil pump adjusts its output power to meet different lubrication requirements. By rationally designing various oil vents, oil collection grooves, lubrication holes, and return oil holes on the gearbox housing, a high degree of integration between the lubrication system and the main gearbox structure is achieved, resulting in a compact gearbox structure with a small footprint.
[0008] In addition, the gearbox mechanism with a lubrication structure proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0010] This technical solution, by actively extracting oil, ensures that the oil is delivered to the parts that require lubrication and cooling with sufficient pressure and flow, thus meeting the needs of the transmission under different operating conditions.
[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the oil suction pipe is provided with an oil suction filter, and its two ends are connected to the oil suction pipe through transition joint I and transition joint II.
[0012] In this technical solution, because impurities and wear particles will gradually settle to the bottom of the oil sump during use, an oil suction filter is required for filtration.
[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the housing is provided with an oil pressure sensor for monitoring the working status of the electronic oil pump.
[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the electronic oil pump is also connected to an oil outlet pipe, the other end of which is connected to the input shaft assembly and the intermediate shaft assembly.
[0015] In this technical solution, the filtered oil is delivered to the input shaft assembly and intermediate shaft assembly through the oil outlet pipe; the oil outlet pipe adopts a branch structure to ensure that the lubricating oil is evenly distributed to each lubrication point; after the oil arrives, it fully lubricates the bearings, gears and other key parts of the input shaft assembly and intermediate shaft assembly, reduces friction and wear, and ensures the normal operation of the gearbox; the lubricated oil flows back to the oil sump at the bottom of the gearbox to form a circulation.
[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the input shaft assembly is provided with a meshing sleeve shifting mechanism, and there is a needle roller bearing and a needle roller bearing sleeve assembly between the mechanism and the input shaft assembly; a lip seal ring is provided on the input shaft assembly.
[0017] In this technical solution, the lip seal ring prevents oil leakage and ensures that the right / left bearing of the input shaft assembly receives continuous and stable lubrication.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0019] By optimizing the transmission structure and adding a forced lubrication mechanism, forced lubrication is achieved. The electronic oil pump actively draws oil and forms a pressurized lubricating oil flow to deliver it into the transmission. At the same time, the working status of the forced lubrication mechanism is monitored, and the oil outlet pipe ensures that the transmission receives sufficient lubricating oil, effectively reducing friction and wear and ensuring the normal operation of the transmission.
