Description

[0001] The invention relates to a gearbox with a housing.

[0002] It is generally known that a gearbox housing has bearing receptacles in which the bearings of the gearbox shafts are accommodated and the corresponding forces are diverted.

[0003] From DE 10 2008 004 337 A1, a housing for a gearbox is known as the closest prior art.

[0004] A gearbox housing is known from CN 1 02 777 574 A.

[0005] A multi-purpose gearbox is known from US 3 029 661 A.

[0006] A wheelset transmission for use in rail vehicles is known from DE 203 12 235 U1.

[0007] The invention is therefore based on the object of achieving a stable oil supply and thus protecting the environment, in particular conserving resources.

[0008] According to the invention, the object is achieved in the housing for a transmission according to the features specified in claim 1.

[0009] Important features of the invention in the gearbox with housing are that the housing has an upper housing part and a lower housing part, wherein the housing has an upper housing part and a lower housing part, onto which the upper housing part is placed, wherein the upper housing part is arranged on a first side of a plane and the lower housing part on the other side of the plane, in particular wherein the upper housing part is shell-shaped, in particular half-nut-shell-shaped, wherein the upper housing part has a ceiling wall which at least partially delimits the interior of the transmission, wherein at least one oil-guiding rib structure is arranged on the ceiling wall, in particular formed as an elevation or depression, wherein a rib section of the respective oil guide rib structure extends from a region of the ceiling wall with a small or negligible inclination relative to the plane, in particular the horizontal plane, to a region of the ceiling wall with a greater inclination relative to the plane.

[0010] The advantage here is that the oil sprayed onto the ceiling wall can be directed by the oil guide rib structure to laterally arranged grooves. The oil is guided along the ceiling wall from the oil guide rib to the laterally arranged groove.

[0011] According to the invention, the respective oil guide rib structure has two or more rib sections that merge into a collecting rib section. This is advantageous because the oil guide rib structure can be designed in a material-saving manner.

[0012] In an advantageous embodiment, the upper housing part has a top wall which at least partially delimits the interior of the transmission and is curved, in particular concave, in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction in such a way that oil droplets sprayed up to the top wall drip in or against the transverse direction along the top wall into a groove formed on the inside of the upper housing part, in particular wherein the amount of the gradient, in particular the inclination of the top wall relative to the horizontal direction, of the top wall increases more quickly in the transverse direction with increasing distance from the highest point of the top wall, in particular from the point on the top wall with a vanishing gradient, than in the longitudinal direction. It is advantageous in this case that the inclination and the change in inclination in the transverse direction can be carried out in such a way that oil droplets do not drip off but flow along the oil guide rib structure.

[0013] In an advantageous embodiment, the housing upper part has on its inside a groove formed on the housing upper part, in particular a groove formed in one piece, i.e. in one piece,

[0014] In particular, the gradient of the ceiling wall, in particular the inclination of the ceiling wall relative to the horizontal direction, increases more rapidly in the transverse direction with increasing distance from the highest surface point of the ceiling wall, in particular from the surface point of the ceiling wall with a vanishing gradient, than in the longitudinal direction. It is advantageous that a groove is formed as a collecting pocket for oil on the upper part of the housing, allowing the oil conveyed in the transverse direction to be collected from there and fed to the bearing points to be lubricated.

[0015] In an advantageous embodiment, the collecting rib section supplies oil to the groove,

[0016] in particular, wherein the collecting rib section of the oil guide rib structure extends from a region of the ceiling wall with a first amount of inclination against the plane, in particular horizontal plane, to a region of the ceiling wall with a second amount of inclination against the plane, The second amount is greater than the first amount. The advantage here is that the oil can be easily directed, and the inclination can be selected such that the oil can be guided along the ceiling wall without dripping.

[0017] In an advantageous embodiment, the ceiling wall has several oil-conducting rib structures. This is advantageous because as much of the oil spraying up the ceiling wall as possible can be diverted to the channel.

[0018] In an advantageous embodiment, the respective oil guide rib structure is manufactured as a separate part and connected to the upper housing section. This is advantageous because simple production is achieved by forming the oil guide rib structure in the casting mold.

[0019] In an advantageous embodiment, the upper part of the housing is shaped like a shell, in particular half-nut shell-shaped, wherein the upper housing part has a top wall which at least partially delimits the interior of the transmission and which is curved in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction, in particular concave, such that oil droplets sprayed up to the top wall drip in or against the transverse direction along the top wall into a groove formed on the inside of the upper housing part, in particular wherein the amount of the gradient, in particular the inclination of the ceiling wall relative to the horizontal direction, of the ceiling wall in the transverse direction increases more rapidly with increasing distance from the highest point of the ceiling wall, in particular from the point of the ceiling wall with a vanishing gradient, than in the longitudinal direction.

[0020] The advantage here is that the top wall is designed so that oil droplets sprayed up from a toothed part, such as a gear, to the top wall are diverted to a groove in the upper part of the housing and from there parts to be lubricated can be supplied with lubricating oil.

[0021] Important features of the invention in the gearbox with housing are that the housing has an upper housing part and a lower housing part, in particular wherein the upper housing part is shell-shaped, in particular half-nut-shell-shaped, wherein the upper housing part has a longitudinally and transversely curved, in particular concave, ceiling wall which at least partially delimits the interior of the transmission, the upper housing part has a groove formed on the inside of the upper housing part, in particular a groove formed in one piece, i.e. in one piece, wherein the amount of the gradient of the ceiling wall, in particular the inclination of the ceiling wall relative to the horizontal direction, increases more rapidly in the transverse direction with increasing distance from the highest surface point of the ceiling wall, in particular from the surface point of the ceiling wall with a vanishing gradient, than in the longitudinal direction,

[0022] An advantage here is that the top wall is designed at an angle such that oil droplets sprayed from a toothed part, such as a gear, onto the top wall are directed to a groove in the upper housing section, from where parts to be lubricated can be supplied with lubricating oil. The oil droplets are preferably conveyed along the top wall in or against the transverse direction, so that the grooves arranged in or against the transverse direction are supplied with oil.

[0023] In an advantageous embodiment, the transverse direction is aligned parallel to the shaft axis of the output shaft, wherein the longitudinal direction is oriented perpendicularly and / or transversely to the transverse direction, in particular wherein the longitudinal direction is oriented parallel to the plane spanned by a shaft axis of an intermediate shaft and a shaft axis of an output shaft. It is advantageous that

[0024] In an advantageous embodiment, the ceiling wall is shaped like a vault. This is advantageous in that the spraying oil droplets are deflected along the vault and then channeled down the side into a groove formed on the inside.

[0025] In an advantageous embodiment, lubricating oil is supplied from the trough to parts requiring lubrication, such as bearings and / or gearing. The advantage here is that the oil is pumped into the trough by spraying oil onto the ceiling wall. Additionally, the pumping action of the gear wheel interacting with the trough also pumps lubricating oil into the trough, ensuring sufficient oil is available to lubricate the parts requiring lubrication, such as bearings or meshing gears.

[0026] In an advantageous embodiment, a trough for oil guidance and reducing splashing losses surrounds a peripheral section of a toothed part, in particular a gear wheel, in particular in the radial and axial direction, wherein the tub is composed of at least three parts, i.e. at least a base plate and two side walls, wherein the base plate is screw-connected to the two side walls, the tray is attached to the housing, wherein the trough has a recess, in particular a channel, in particular at its deepest surface area, in particular at the surface area having the greatest radial distance, in particular, wherein, upon rotation of the gear, oil is conveyed from the oil sump of the transmission through the recess between the tub and the gear, in particular to a higher position than the level of the oil sump, The base plate and side walls are stamped and bent parts.

[0027] The advantage here is that oil can be pumped from the gearbox's oil sump to a higher location, such as an intermediate reservoir or a collecting trough, by means of the gear, so that bearings and meshing gears can be lubricated from there with lubricating oil. In addition, splashing losses can be reduced by means of the pan, which at least partially follows the contour of the gear, i.e. the envelope of the rotating gear, i.e. the cylindrical spatial area touched by the rotating gear. To this end, the gap between the rotating gear and the pan, in particular the base plate of the pan, must be designed to be small. The base plate, with its surface section facing the gear, is arranged at a radial distance that is only slightly different from the radial distance between the tips of the gear teeth and the gear axis.#Thus, the surface section of the base plate facing the gear extends substantially in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction, but, with the exception of a recess, always has the same radial distance from the axis of the gear, in particular from the axis of the shaft to which the gear is connected in a rotationally fixed manner.

[0028] The design of the tub from only three parts, namely the base plate and side walls, enables particularly cost-effective production by screwing these parts together.

[0029] In an advantageous embodiment, the distance, particularly the radial distance, between the base plate and the heads of the gear teeth is constant within the circumferential angular range covered by the tub. The advantage here is that a small gap is sufficient to achieve the pumping effect. Thus, splashing losses can be reduced.

[0030] In an advantageous embodiment, the base plate has radially extending tab sections to which the side walls are screw-connected. The advantage here is that the tab sections can be easily manufactured by bending a stamped sheet. Furthermore, the tab section can be aligned parallel to the side wall, i.e., perpendicular to the circumferentially and axially extending surface section of the base plate. This allows for a simple, stable connection between the base plate and the side wall. This is particularly advantageous in a transmission series that uses gears of different sizes, since a different gear ratio can be implemented for each transmission in the transmission series.This means that the base plate must be fastened at an adjusted radial distance and the axially aligned screws of the screw connection between the base plate and the side wall must be fastened at different radial distances.

[0031] In an advantageous embodiment, a side wall has a marking at which a borehole can be made for the passage of a screw of the screw connection. This is advantageous because, depending on the gear ratio of the transmission or the size, in particular the tip diameter, of the gear, a borehole can be made at a different marked radial distance, thus allowing the tray to be arranged at a different radial distance.

[0032] In an advantageous embodiment, the recess, in particular the channel, is defined by the base plate and the two side walls. This is advantageous because an oil-promoting recess can be manufactured simply and cost-effectively.

[0033] In an advantageous embodiment, the base plate and each side wall are each formed as a single piece. The advantage here is that each of the three parts can be manufactured as a stamped and bent part, making it very simple and cost-effective. Even the two side walls can be constructed identically.

[0034] In an advantageous embodiment, the housing is provided for a gearbox, wherein the housing has an upper housing part and a lower housing part, wherein the upper housing part has a frame-like support section on which wall sections are formed, wherein the frame-like support section is formed integrally with the wall sections, i.e. in one piece, in particular as a cast part, in particular as a cast steel part.

[0035] The advantage here is that only the load-bearing section requires a lot of material, and therefore mass, while the wall sections do not. This allows high forces to be transmitted in a material-saving manner.

[0036] In an advantageous embodiment, the maximum wall thickness of the wall sections is smaller than the maximum wall thickness of the support section. This is advantageous because the wall sections can be designed with a thinner wall thickness, thus allowing the housing to be constructed with less material.

[0037] In an advantageous embodiment, the frame-like support section of the upper housing part has a first and a second transverse rib, in particular wherein the transverse ribs extend mainly in the horizontal direction, in particular being further extended in the horizontal direction than in any direction transverse thereto, wherein the frame-like support section has two first ribs, wherein the two first ribs are spaced apart from each other and are each connected to the first transverse rib, in particular at two spaced apart locations, in particular wherein the first ribs extend mainly in the vertical direction, in particular being further extended in the vertical direction than in any direction transverse thereto, wherein the two second ribs are spaced apart from each other and are each connected to the second transverse rib, in particular at two spaced apart locations, In particular, the second ribs extend primarily in the vertical direction, i.e., in particular, they are further extended in the vertical direction than in any direction transverse thereto. This is advantageous in that particularly high stability can be achieved with minimal material expenditure. This is because the frame-like support section has a rectangular shape, in which the rectangle is bent out of the plane of the rectangle on its two opposite sides, so that the bent regions are arranged essentially in further planes perpendicular to the plane, which are spaced apart from one another and parallel.

[0038] In an advantageous embodiment, each first rib and each second rib has a support eyelet at the end region facing away from the respective transverse rib. This is advantageous because the forces introduced into the housing during transport are transferred directly into the frame-like support section and not into thin wall sections.

[0039] In an advantageous embodiment, a first rib is connected at its end region to a beam, in particular a supporting beam, which is connected at its other end to the end region of a second rib, wherein the other rib is connected at its end region to a beam, in particular a supporting beam, which in turn is connected at its other end to the end region of the other second rib, In particular, the two beams are arranged parallel and spaced apart from each other. The advantage here is that high stability can be achieved through the bracing.

[0040] In an advantageous embodiment, a shaft of the gearbox is mounted in the housing by means of a bearing, wherein a first part of the bearing receptacle is arranged in the upper housing part and a second part of the bearing receptacle is arranged in the lower housing part, The first part of the bearing support is designed as a thickened section and is connected to the area of ​​the transverse ribs to which the respective rib is also connected. It is advantageous that additional bracing of the frame-like support section is provided by means of the thickened areas.

[0041] In an advantageous embodiment, a housing cover closes an opening in the upper housing part 1, which is enclosed by the frame-shaped support section, in particular at a distance, in particular such that the frame-shaped support section does not directly touch the opening, but is spaced from the opening. This is advantageous in that transmission components can be inspected and maintenance work can be performed through the opening. Furthermore, no lubricating oil flows out of the transmission, since the opening is located on the top side of the upper housing part.

[0042] Important features of the gearbox are that it is provided with a housing, whereby a shaft of the gearbox is mounted in the housing by means of a bearing, wherein a first part of the bearing receptacle is arranged in the upper housing part and a second part of the bearing receptacle is arranged in the lower housing part, wherein the first part of the bearing support is designed as a thickened section and is connected to that area of ​​the transverse ribs to which the respective rib is also connected.

[0043] The advantage is that high torsional rigidity and high mechanical stability can be achieved.

[0044] Further advantages emerge from the dependent claims. The invention is not limited to the combination of features in the claims. Further possible combinations of claims and / or individual claim features and / or features of the description and / or the figures will become apparent to those skilled in the art, particularly from the problem and / or the problem posed by comparison with the prior art.

[0045] The invention will now be explained in more detail with the aid of illustrations: In the Fig. 1 shows a gear housing according to the invention for a gear in a first viewing direction in an oblique view, which is composed of an upper housing part 1 and a lower housing part 2. In the Fig. 2, the gear housing according to the invention is shown in a different viewing direction in an oblique view. In the Fig. 3 shows the gear housing according to the invention in a third viewing direction in an oblique view. In the Fig. 4 shows the lower housing part 2 in an oblique view. In the Fig. 5 shows the upper housing part 1 in an oblique view. In the Fig. 6 shows the frame-like supporting section of the upper housing part 1. In the Fig. 7 shows a side wall section 3 as a section of the upper housing part 1, which is inserted into the frame-like support section. In the Fig. 8 shows a section of the lower housing part 2 of a wall section with a wave structure, in particular a concave-convex wall section. In the Fig. 9 shows the oil level 90. In the Fig. 10 shows a gear wheel 100 of the transmission, which is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on a shaft 101 mounted in the transmission housing and is at least partially surrounded by a trough fastened to the housing lower part 2. In the Fig. 11, the tub itself is shown in an oblique view, wherein the tub has side walls 102 and a base plate 103. In the Fig. 12 shows a side wall 102 of the tub. In the Fig. 13 shows the base plate 103 of the tub. In the Fig. 14, the tub is shown without the front side wall 102, so that the gear is visible in an oblique view, with a first section being marked. In the Fig. 15 is the first excerpt of the Fig. 14 is shown enlarged, with a second section marked. In the Fig. 16 is the second section of the Fig. 15 shown enlarged. In the Fig. 17, the gearbox housing is shown cut in the longitudinal direction, so that the curvature of the roof wall, in particular the arched course in the longitudinal direction, is visible. In the Fig. 18, the housing of the gearbox is shown cut in the transverse direction, so that the curvature of the ceiling wall 171, in particular the curved course in the transverse direction, is visible. In the Fig. 19 shows a rhombus-shaped oil guide rib structure designed as an oil guide rib structure 210, wherein the oil guide rib structure 210 is formed or arranged on the inside of the ceiling wall 171. In the Fig. 20 shows the oil guide rib structure 210 and a gear 10 spraying the oil up to the oil guide rib structure 210. In the Fig. 21, the oil guide rib structure 210 is shown separately.

[0046] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the lower housing part 2 is arranged below the upper housing part 1. In the vertical direction, the upper housing part 1 is arranged above the lower housing part 2.

[0047] The upper housing section 1 has a frame-like support section, which absorbs and transmits the majority of the forces. The remaining sections of the upper housing section 1 are designed solely for the oil-tight enclosure of the gearbox interior, i.e., they are constructed with thinner walls than the support section and fit snugly against the support section.

[0048] Thus, the upper housing part 1 and the lower housing part 2 are shaped like a shell.

[0049] The frame-like support section of the housing upper part 1 has a first transverse rib 62. This extends mainly in the horizontal direction.

[0050] Two first ribs 61 are spaced apart from each other and are each connected to the first transverse rib 61, in particular at two spaced apart locations.

[0051] The first ribs 61 extend mainly in the vertical direction, i.e. they are further extended in the vertical direction than in any direction transverse thereto.

[0052] The frame-like support section of the housing upper part 1 also has a second transverse rib 62. This extends mainly in the horizontal direction.

[0053] Two second ribs 61 are spaced apart from each other and are each connected to the second transverse rib 61, in particular at two spaced apart locations.

[0054] The second ribs 61 extend mainly in the vertical direction, i.e. they are further extended in the vertical direction than in any direction transverse thereto.

[0055] Each first rib 61 and each second rib 61 has a lifting eye 63 at its end region facing away from the respective transverse rib. Thus, the gearbox can be attached to the lifting eyes using a hook or rope and is easily transported. The forces occurring during transport are transferred via the lifting eyes 63 into the end regions and thus into the frame-like support section. Thus, the gearbox housing is only slightly deformed and remains undamaged.

[0056] A first rib 61 is connected at its end region to a beam 60, in particular a supporting beam, which is connected at its other end to the end region of a second rib 61. Likewise, the other rib 61 is connected at its end region to a beam 60, in particular a supporting beam, which in turn is connected at its other end to the end region of the other second rib 61. The two beams 60 are arranged parallel and spaced apart from each other.

[0057] As described above, wall sections are nestled against the frame-like support section of the housing upper part 1 formed from the ribs 61, transverse ribs 62 and beams 60, so that the shell-like housing upper part can be formed in one piece, in particular as a cast part.

[0058] In this case, the wall sections, in particular also two side wall sections 3 and the wall section with a concave-convex wave structure, are formed and nestled against the frame-like support section and are formed in one piece.

[0059] The beams 60 extend mainly in the horizontal direction, i.e. they are wider horizontally than in any transverse direction.

[0060] The frame-like supporting section is therefore realized by thickening the wall thickness.

[0061] Additionally, thickened areas are provided on the upper housing part 1, which serve as bearing supports for at least part, in particular half, of the circumference of an outer ring of a bearing. These arcuately shaped, adjacent, thickened areas are connected to the transverse ribs 62, in particular in the end region in which the respective rib 61 is connected.

[0062] The concave-convex wave structure of the wall sections increases the surface area and thus reduces the heat transfer resistance to the ambient air. A particularly deep recess is provided as recess 5 for the operating area for screw connections. The screws not shown in the figures are connecting screws with which the upper housing section 1 and the lower housing section 2 are screwed together.

[0063] The housing lower part 2 has a wave structure 6, in particular a concave-convex wall section, which also increases the surface area and thus reduces the heat transfer resistance from the gear interior, in particular lubricating oil, to the ambient air.

[0064] The housing cover is provided for closing an opening in the upper housing part 1, which opening is enclosed by the frame-shaped support section, in particular at a distance. This means that the frame-shaped support section does not directly touch the opening, but is spaced from it.

[0065] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 10, the gear 100 is rotationally fixedly connected to the shaft 101, which is mounted in the housing via a bearing. The bearing is accommodated in a bearing recess of the housing, with a first part of the bearing recess being arranged in the upper housing part 1 and a second part of the bearing recess being arranged in the lower housing part 2.

[0066] The lower space surrounding the gear 100 is enclosed by the tub, which has side walls 102 and a base plate 103. It can thus be manufactured from three pieces.

[0067] The side walls 102 of the trough are attached to the base plate 103. The base plate 103 has a downwardly directed protrusion 130 at its lowest point. The protrusion 130 is directed radially away from the gear and is open at its radially outer end. Thus, lubricating oil of the transmission passes from the transmission's oil sump through the protrusion 130 to the gear 100. Laterally, i.e., on both sides in the axial direction, the protrusion is closed by a respective tab section 120 of the side walls 102, forming a channel extending radially through to the gear 100.

[0068] As from Fig. 12, the side walls 102 are each punched out as a sheet metal part and have markings on their axial outer side which indicate the positions of drill holes to be drilled, in particular depending on the gear ratio of the transmission and / or toothing data of the gear wheel 100.

[0069] Screws are passed through the drill holes, which enable a screw connection between the base plate 103 and the respective side wall 102 to be carried out.

[0070] Depending on the size or other gearing data, the base plate can be arranged at an optimal radial distance from the gear center axis.

[0071] The base plate 103 is also manufactured as a stamped and bent part and has a U-shaped cross-section. It is bent in such a way that the distance between the teeth, in particular the tips of the teeth of the gear 100 located at the same circumferential angle as the base plate 103, is constant. Thus, a narrow gap is provided between these tooth tips and the base plate 103.

[0072] When the gear 100 rotates, a pumping effect is created, as the lubricating oil in the tooth gaps moves at a higher speed than the lubricating oil in the channel. In this way, lubricating oil is transported through the channel from the oil sump to the gear 100 and then moved along by it.

[0073] The trough also reduces splashing losses during movement of the gear 100. This is because the engagement of the teeth of the gear 100 takes place in the space surrounded by the trough.

[0074] The U-shaped curved base plate 103 is circularly curved in the circumferential direction with the exception of the tab sections 120 and the protuberance 130, so that the distance between the teeth of the toothing of the gear 100 and the base plate 103 is substantially constant in the corresponding circumferential angle range.

[0075] The tab sections 120 are directed radially outwards, so that the respective side wall 102 can be pressed and screwed onto the base plate 103, in particular onto its tab sections 120, in the axial direction.

[0076] By means of the pumping action of gear 100 in conjunction with the pan, oil is pumped to a position higher than the oil level in the oil sump and from there, via an intermediate reservoir or directly to the points to be lubricated, such as bearings or meshing gears. Appropriate lines or pipes are provided for this purpose.

[0077] The protrusion 130 can be produced by bending it out of the original shape of the base plate 103. For this purpose, a stamped sheet is bent such that two circularly bent regions are spaced apart from each other by a substantially rectangularly bent region. The circularly bent regions are then pressed together, thus forming the circular region of the base plate 103. The circularly bent regions encompass a recess. The rectangularly bent region also has a centrally arranged recess, thus forming the protrusion 130.

[0078] As in Fig. 17 and Fig. 18, the ceiling wall 171 is curved, with a different curvature in the longitudinal direction than in the transverse direction. The inclination is designed such that oil droplets sprayed onto the ceiling, for example by a gear 100 of the transmission, preferably flow off in the transverse direction along the ceiling wall 171. Below the ceiling wall 171, in particular below the end region of the ceiling wall 171 arranged in the longitudinal direction, a groove is formed, the groove wall 170 of which extends in the longitudinal direction, i.e. extends further in the longitudinal direction than in the transverse direction or in another direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Likewise, a further groove is arranged below the end region of the ceiling wall 171 arranged opposite to the longitudinal direction.

[0079] Thus, the sprayed-up oil flows down the ceiling wall 171 either longitudinally or counter-longitudinally to the respective end region of the ceiling wall 171 and drips down into the respective groove. From there, the oil is directed to a bearing or gear part to be lubricated.

[0080] The channel is formed in one piece on the upper housing part 1, i.e. by shaping the cast steel part, and is thus formed in one piece with the upper housing part 1.

[0081] From the highest point of the concave ceiling wall 171, the oil flows faster in the transverse direction than in the longitudinal direction because the curvature and gradient are greater in the transverse direction.

[0082] The ceiling wall is wider in the longitudinal direction than in the transverse direction.

[0083] The oil flow direction 172 on the ceiling wall 171 is thus directed outwards, i.e. in the longitudinal direction or counter to the longitudinal direction, and thus the oil drops are transported towards the groove.

[0084] Thus, the pumping action of the gear together with the pan not only transports oil to a higher position, especially into the groove, but also transports any splashing oil into the groove. This ensures sufficient oil is available for lubrication.

[0085] As in the Fig. As shown in Figures 19 to 21, the ceiling wall 171 has a rhombus-like structure projecting into the interior, which collects the oil sprayed up by the gear wheel 100 and guides it in the transverse direction or counter to the transverse direction to the respective groove.

[0086] In Fig. 20, the oil flow direction 201 along the oil guide rib structure 210 is marked and the oil spray direction 202 is also marked.

[0087] The oil guide rib structure 210 has a rhombus-like structure, the two adjacent transversely facing sides of which are joined to form a collecting rib section which guides the oil to the groove and / or has an end section such that the oil drips into the groove.

[0088] The rib sections formed as sides of the rhombus extend from the area of ​​vanishing or slight inclination of the ceiling wall 171 to a region in which the amount of inclination is greater. From this, the collecting rib section extends to a region in which the amount of inclination is even greater.

[0089] As in Fig.As shown in Figure 19, not only a single, but also an additional oil guide rib structure 210 is shown on the top wall 171. This is assigned to another gear or arranged such that when the direction of rotation of the gear 100 is reversed, the area of ​​the top wall 171 having this additional oil guide rib structure 210 is injection-molded.

[0090] In further embodiments of the invention, other structures can be used. For example, not just two, but several rib sections are connected to a collecting rib section, so that the rib sections form a finger-like structure.

[0091] The rib sections extend from the area of ​​vanishing or slight inclination of the ceiling wall 171 to a region in which the inclination is greater. From this area, the collecting rib section extends to a region in which the inclination is even greater.

[0092] Alternatively, the oil guide rib structure 210 can also be designed as a separate part, i.e. not as a raised portion formed in the casting mold on the upper housing part 1 and projecting toward the interior, but as a part attached to the ceiling wall 171 of the upper housing part.

[0093] Further alternatively, the oil guide rib structure 210 is not designed as an elevation, but as a depression, such as a groove or the like, in the ceiling wall 171 of the upper housing part 1.
