Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gearbox technology, and more specifically, to a gearbox that is easy to assemble. Background Technology

[0002] A gearbox (also known as a reducer or gear setter) is a core transmission device in industrial equipment for power regulation. Through gear meshing or worm gear engagement, it converts the high-speed, low-torque output of a motor or engine into the low-speed, high-torque power required by the equipment. Its design principle is based on the law of conservation of energy, proportionally amplifying torque while reducing speed, thus meeting the operating requirements of different mechanical equipment. During the production process, the end caps of the gearbox require assembly.

[0003] However, most traditional assembly methods use bolts for fixing. Since the bolts and nuts are separate, the two parts need to be assembled separately during the assembly process, which is time-consuming and laborious. Also, because they are separate, they are prone to being lost.

[0004] Furthermore, when using a gearbox, the internal gears need to be lubricated to ensure its long-term use. However, traditional lubrication methods often require disassembling the gearbox, which is cumbersome and affects maintenance efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0031] Please see Figure 1-6 A gearbox designed for easy assembly includes a housing 1. An end cap 2 is provided on the upper surface of the housing 1. Mounting grooves 3 are correspondingly provided on both the end cap 2 and the outer wall of the housing 1. A transmission component 4 is located inside the mounting grooves 3. Threaded holes 5 are provided at the connection points between the end cap 2 and the housing 1. Multiple threaded holes 5 are provided, and each threaded hole 5 contains a connecting screw 6. A protective ring 7 is fixedly provided at the outer end of the connecting screw 6, located on the upper surface of the end cap 2. A limiting ring 8 is provided at the upper end of each protective ring 7. A threaded ring is provided at the bottom of each limiting ring 8, and the threaded rings are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the protective ring 7. A partition 9 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the housing 1, located at the lower end of the transmission component 4. Multiple oil leakage holes 10 are provided on the partition 9 and are evenly distributed. An internal hexagonal groove 25 is provided on the upper surface of each connecting screw 6, and the internal hexagonal groove 25 is located inside the limiting ring 8.

[0032] In this embodiment, an oil injection pipe 11 is fixedly provided on the upper end face of the partition 9 and located in the middle position. An oil injection head 12 is provided on the outer wall of the oil injection pipe 11 and located at the upper end. Multiple oil injection heads 12 are provided and are evenly distributed.

[0033] More specifically, the user can screw the connecting screw 6 into the threaded hole 5 on the housing 1 to fix the end cover 2 and the housing 1, facilitating assembly. The user can also screw the limiting ring 8 onto the upper end of the protective ring 7 to limit the connecting screw 6 and prevent it from being lost. When the transmission component 4 needs to be lubricated, the user can control the pump body 13 to guide the lubricating oil inside the housing 1 into the oil spray pipe 11 and spray it out through the oil spray head 12, so that the lubricating oil sticks to the outer end of the transmission component 4, thereby achieving the lubrication effect. Excess lubricating oil will re-enter the bottom of the housing 1 through the oil leakage hole 10 for continued use.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As an embodiment for further fixing the end cap 2 and the housing 1: a first threaded ring 15 is fixedly provided on the outer end of the mounting groove 3 and on the outer wall of the housing 1, and a second threaded ring 16 is correspondingly provided on the outer wall of the end cap 2. A locking plate 17 is slidably provided on the outer ends of the first threaded ring 15 and the second threaded ring 16.

[0038] In summary, when using the overall equipment: the user can screw the connecting screw 6 into the threaded hole 5 on the housing 1 to fix the end cover 2 and the housing 1. Then, the locking plate 17 is slidably installed onto the outer end of the first threaded ring 15 and the second threaded ring 16 so that the positioning pin 19 enters the positioning hole 20. Finally, the locking nut 18 is tightened to make it abut against the outer wall of the locking plate 17 to further increase the stability of the connection between the end cover 2 and the housing 1 and facilitate use. In addition, the user can screw the limiting ring 8 onto the upper end of the protective ring 7 to limit the connecting screw 6 and prevent it from loosening and being lost. When the transmission component 4 needs to be lubricated, the user can control the pump body 13 to guide the lubricating oil inside the housing 1 into the oil spray pipe 11 and spray it out through the oil spray head 12 so that the lubricating oil sticks to the outer end of the transmission component 4, thereby achieving the lubrication effect. Excess lubricating oil will re-enter the bottom of the housing 1 through the oil leakage hole 10 for continued use.
