Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transmission device technology, specifically to a transmission gear shaft with a cooling channel. Background Technology
[0002] Transmission gear shafts are core components in mechanical transmission systems, mainly used to transmit torque and rotational motion. They are commonly found in automotive gearboxes, industrial speed reducers, and other equipment. They are usually made of high-strength alloy steel and their surfaces are heat-treated to improve wear resistance and fatigue strength. Currently, the cooling of transmission gear shafts mainly relies on external lubrication systems, which use oil pumps to spray cooling oil onto the shaft surface in the gear meshing area, using the flow of oil to carry away heat. For example, in automotive transmissions, lubricating oil is collected by an oil collector and then sprayed onto the gear shaft surface through nozzles to achieve cooling and lubrication. However, external oil spray cooling often cannot cover all heat source areas of the gear shaft. Especially at high speeds, uneven heat dissipation can easily lead to local overheating, causing material annealing or thermal fatigue cracks. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transmission gear shaft with a cooling channel to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A transmission gear shaft with a cooling channel, comprising: The shaft has a rotating disk at one end, an oil collection groove on the surface of the rotating disk, and an external circulation pipe and an internal circulation pipe inside the shaft. A liquid storage tank is provided on the outer side of the rotating disk, a cover plate is installed on one side of the liquid storage tank, and a sealed bearing is provided between the cover plate and the shaft. A cooling plate is fixedly installed on the other side of the liquid storage tank. The cooling plate has a spiral groove inside. A return pipe is provided at one end of the spiral groove, and an inlet pipe is provided at the other end of the spiral groove.
[0005] Preferably, a gear is fixedly mounted on the surface of the shaft.
[0006] Preferably, the rotating disk is fixedly connected to the shaft.
[0007] Preferably, the external circulation pipe is connected to the oil collection tank, and the end of the external circulation pipe away from the rotating disk is connected to the internal circulation pipe, and the internal circulation pipe passes through the rotating disk; Both the external circulation pipe and the internal circulation pipe are prefabricated pipes, formed by casting and installed inside the shaft 1.
[0008] Preferably, a liquid storage space is provided between the inner side wall of the liquid storage tank and the side of the shaft, and an installation bracket is fixedly connected to the outer side of the liquid storage tank. The liquid storage tank is rotatably connected to the shaft through the cover plate and the sealing bearing.
[0009] Preferably, heat dissipation fins are fixedly provided on the surface of the cooling plate.
[0010] Preferably, the reflux pipe extends into the interior of the liquid storage tank, and the volute is connected to the interior of the liquid storage tank through the reflux pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the inlet pipe is inserted into one end of the inner circulation pipe, and a rotary oil seal is provided between the end of the inlet pipe and the inner wall of the inner circulation pipe, and the volute groove is connected to the inner circulation pipe through the inlet pipe.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By rotating the shaft, the cooling oil enters the oil collection tank and then flows into the external circulation pipe through the guide channel. The cooling oil then flows into the internal circulation pipe through the external circulation pipe and back to one end of the rotating disk through the internal circulation pipe, thus realizing the circulation of cooling oil inside the shaft. This results in more uniform cooling of the shaft and compensates for the problem that external oil spraying cannot cover all heat source areas of the gear shaft.
[0013] 2. By setting up a volute, the cooling oil flows through the inner circulation pipe and then enters the inside of the volute through the inlet pipe. It then flows back to the inside of the storage tank through the return pipe, thus realizing the automatic circulation of the cooling oil without the need for additional power.

When the shaft 1 rotates, it drives the rotating disk 11 to rotate inside the liquid storage tank 3, so that the cooling oil inside the sealed bearing 33 is collected obliquely into the oil collection groove 12 and then enters the outer circulation pipe 14 through the guide groove 13.
