Description

[0001] Gearbox with a housing part and a pipe

[0002] Description:

[0003] The invention relates to a transmission with a housing part and a pipeline.

[0004] It is generally known that a gearbox has a housing part in which toothed parts are arranged and whose openings can be closed with a gearbox cover.

[0005] From US 4 633 938 A, a transmission is known as the closest prior art.

[0006] A cooling piping for a gearbox is known from CN 212 273 319 U.

[0007] A gearbox is known from JP 2010 - 249 156 A.

[0008] From DE 10 2010 034 198 A1 an arrangement for cooling a device is known.

[0009] A lubricating oil cooling system for gearboxes is known from US 2 687 784 A.

[0010] The invention is therefore based on the object of enabling a simple production of a transmission that achieves high performance with a small installation volume.

[0011] According to the invention, the object is achieved in the transmission according to the features specified in claim 1.

[0012] Important features of the transmission are that the transmission is designed with a housing part and a pipe, in particular through which a cooling medium can flow, wherein the housing part has at least one through-bore, in particular through the wall or side wall of the particularly trough-shaped housing part, in which a connection of the pipe is arranged, in particular such that a coolant line coming from the outside can be connected to the pipe, wherein the pipe in the transmission is designed as at least two-layer winding, in particular planar winding and / or flat winding, wherein the first layer of the winding extends further in a direction which is aligned perpendicular to the winding axis than the second layer of the winding, in particular wherein the first layer is connected to the connection and the second layer is connected to a further, spaced-apart,a similarly designed connection, in particular wherein the first layer is arranged closer to the bottom of the trough-shaped housing part than the second layer, in particular such that the area wrapped by the first layer is larger than the area wrapped by the second layer, in particular wherein the first layer has at least two turns and the second layer also has at least two turns.

[0013] The advantage here is that the pipe is wound in layers of varying sizes. This allows a first layer to be very large and positioned as low as possible in the trough-shaped housing section. The corresponding pipe connection, i.e., the connection of the first layer, can be positioned very low, so that a screw connection with an open-end wrench cannot be operated inside the housing section, as the connection is located very close to the floor and / or on a side wall, which hinders the rotational movement of an open-end wrench.

[0014] According to the invention, the open-end wrench only needs to be applied and operated from the outside. This simplifies production. By positioning the connection of the first layer of the pipeline particularly close to the bottom, the first layer can be arranged particularly close to the bottom, thus improving heat dissipation. In particular, the heat from the housing part, in particular from the bottom of the housing part, can be efficiently dissipated via the first layer. In an advantageous embodiment, the distance between the bore and the bottom of the trough-shaped housing part is less than fifteen percent, in particular less than ten percent, of the clear inner diameter of the bore. The advantage here is that an open-end wrench can no longer be placed and operated, i.e. rotated, on a screw part, since there is insufficient free space between the bore and the bottom and / or the side wall of the housing part.

[0015] In an advantageous embodiment, the distance between the bore, which is formed in a first, in particular flat, wall region, and a second, in particular flat, wall region of the tub-shaped housing part, oriented perpendicular to the first wall region, is less than fifteen percent, in particular less than ten percent, of the clear inner diameter of the bore. This is advantageous because an open-end wrench can no longer be placed on a screw part and actuated, i.e., rotated, since there is insufficient clearance between the bore and the base and / or the side wall of the housing part.

[0016] In an advantageous embodiment, the smallest distance from a toothed part encompassed by the gear unit, the axis of rotation of which is aligned perpendicular to the winding axis, to the bottom of the trough-shaped housing part is smaller than the greatest distance of the second layer from the bottom of the trough-shaped housing part, in particular wherein the first layer of the winding extends perpendicular to the direction of the axis of rotation of the toothed part and perpendicular to the winding axis of the first and second layers further than the second layer of the winding, in particular wherein the axis of rotation of the toothed part is aligned perpendicular to the normal direction of the winding plane, in particular wherein the housing has a cover part and the trough-shaped housing part, wherein the cover part is placed on the trough-shaped housing part. The advantage here is that the lubricating oil flow entrained by the toothed part is conveyed directly to the first layer and thus heat dissipation can be carried out easily.In an advantageous embodiment, the vertical projection of the gearing part of the transmission into the winding plane of the first layer is spaced apart from the vertical projection of the second layer into the winding plane of the first layer. This is advantageous because the gearing part extends just as closely to the first layer as the second layer. Thus, the heat flow from the gearing part to the first layer is as direct and thus as large as possible.

[0017] In an advantageous embodiment, the gear unit has a housing part and a pipe, in particular through which a cooling medium can flow, wherein the housing part has a continuous bore, in particular through the wall of the housing part, wherein the gear unit has a connecting piece, wherein a bushing has an external thread region with which the bushing is screwed into an internal thread region of the bore, wherein the bushing is placed on the connecting piece and / or is arranged between the connecting piece and the housing part, wherein the connecting piece is hollow and / or has an axially continuous recess, in particular wherein the axial direction is aligned parallel to the direction of the screw axis of the external thread region and / or internal thread region.

[0018] The advantage here is that the pipeline only needs to be connected with an adapter piece, which can then be connected to the connector by simply plugging it in. This means that the connector only needs to be attached to the housing part from the outside. External operation is easy. All that needs to be done is screwed on a nut, which presses the sleeve against the housing part and thus also presses the bushing against the housing part from the inside of the sleeve. This improves tightness and protects the bushing from the sleeve. For this reason, the bushing can be made from plastic and the sleeve from metal, so that the bushing is protected from external mechanical influences.

[0019] In addition, a sensor can be inserted into the sleeve to detect leaks. This sensor detects either the lubricant from the interior of the gearbox and / or the coolant from the pipe.

[0020] In an advantageous embodiment, the bushing is made of a more elastic material than the connecting piece, in particular the bushing is made of plastic and / or the connecting piece is made of metal. This is advantageous in that improved sealing can be achieved because the more elastic material can be deformed without any special effort.

[0021] In an advantageous embodiment, the distance between the bore and the bottom of the trough-shaped housing part is less than fifteen percent, in particular less than ten percent, of the bore's clear inner diameter. This is advantageous because a connection for the lowest layer of the pipeline can be arranged so deep, i.e., very close to the bottom of the housing part, that operating a screw connection with an open-end wrench is not possible.

[0022] In an advantageous embodiment, the distance between the bore formed in a first, in particular flat, wall region and a second, in particular flat, wall region of the trough-shaped housing part, oriented perpendicular to the first wall region, is less than fifteen percent, in particular less than ten percent, of the clear internal diameter of the bore. It is advantageous that a connection of the lowest layer of the pipeline can be arranged so close to the bottom of the housing part, in particular such that a screw connection cannot be operated with an open-end wrench.

[0023] In an advantageous embodiment, the connecting piece protrudes through the housing part, in particular through the wall of the housing part, and / or protrudes from both sides of the housing part, in particular from the wall of the housing part. This is advantageous because the connection of the pipeline and a line coming from the outside can be implemented very easily.

[0024] In an advantageous embodiment, the connecting piece has an internal thread into which an adapter piece is screwed, wherein the adapter piece has an internally conical region in which one end of the pipeline is received and / or into which the end of the pipeline is inserted, in particular wherein a union nut is screwed onto the outside of the internally conical region of the adapter piece such that the internally conical region is elastically deformed, in particular shrunk onto the end of the pipeline. The advantage here is that the pipeline can be connected to the connecting piece very quickly and easily, whereby a very high level of reliability can be achieved.

[0025] In an advantageous embodiment, the bushing protrudes from the housing part, particularly on the side of the housing part facing away from the adapter piece and / or the pipeline, with a sleeve being fitted onto the connecting piece and resting against the housing part. The advantage here is that the bushing can be protected by the sleeve and can therefore be manufactured from plastic.

[0026] In an advantageous embodiment, the sleeve surrounds the area of ​​the bushing that protrudes from the housing part, particularly radially. This provides the advantage of mechanically protecting the bushing.

[0027] In an advantageous embodiment, in the area covered by the sleeve in the axial direction, the radial spacing area covered by the sleeve encompasses the radial spacing area covered by the bushing, in particular in the area of ​​the bushing protruding from the housing part, and / or is spaced from this. It is advantageous in this case that the bushing can be surrounded by the sleeve in a way that is protected on the outside. In an advantageous embodiment, the area covered by the sleeve in the axial direction overlaps with the area covered by the bushing in the axial direction, in particular completely. It is advantageous in this case that the sleeve extends further away from the housing part than the bushing and thus surrounds and protects the bushing.

[0028] In an advantageous embodiment, the sleeve is connected to the connecting piece in a rotationally fixed manner by means of at least one first screw part, in particular a threaded pin, wherein the first screw part is at least partially screwed into a radially directed threaded bore of the sleeve and projects into a radially directed recess of the connecting piece. Advantageously, the relative position of the sleeve to the connecting piece is fixed.

[0029] In an advantageous embodiment, a second screw part is provided, which is at least partially screwed into an axially directed threaded bore of the sleeve and at least partially screwed into an axially directed threaded bore of the housing part. Advantageously, the relative position, in particular the rotational position, is fixed relative to the housing part.

[0030] In an advantageous embodiment, the first screw part is spaced from the second screw part in the circumferential direction, in particular, the first screw part being arranged radially within the radial spacing area covered by the second screw part. This allows for a compact design while still maintaining a high degree of rigidity of the sleeve.

[0031] In an advantageous embodiment, the area of ​​the bushing protruding from the housing part has an outer diameter that is larger than the clear inner diameter of the threaded bore of the housing part. This is advantageous because it prevents the bushing from slipping into the threaded bore.

[0032] In an advantageous embodiment, a pressure force acting on an external thread area of ​​the

[0033] The nut screwed onto the connector presses the sleeve against the housing part, particularly in such a way that the bushing is also pressed against the housing part and is elastically deformed. This is advantageous in that it achieves a high degree of tightness, is simple to manufacture, and provides housing-forming protection for the bushing.

[0034] In an advantageous embodiment, the pipeline in the gearbox is arranged as at least two-layer winding, in particular a planar winding and / or flat winding, wherein the first layer of the winding extends further perpendicular to the winding axis than the second layer of the winding, in particular wherein the first layer is arranged closer to the bottom of the trough-shaped housing part than the second layer, in particular such that the area wrapped by the first layer is larger than the area wrapped by the second layer, in particular wherein the first layer has at least two turns and the second layer also has at least two turns. The advantage here is that, on the one hand, the greatest possible heat flow can be brought about towards the first layer starting from the bottom of the trough-shaped housing part, since the first layer is arranged closer to the bottom of the trough-shaped housing part than the second layer.In addition, a driving toothed part can be provided above the first layer, which can thus be arranged in a similarly close proximity to the first layer as the second layer, whereby the second layer, however, is spaced apart from the toothed part.

[0035] In particular, the oil moving from the input side can be dissipated as directly as possible. The spacing between the toothed part and the second layer is particularly clearly visible when both components are projected vertically into a plane whose normal plane is aligned parallel to the winding axis. The rotational axis of the toothed part is parallel to this plane. The plane is preferably aligned perpendicular to the winding axis of the first layer and the second layer.

[0036] In an advantageous embodiment, the vertical projection of a gearing part of the gear into the winding plane of the first layer is spaced apart from the vertical projection of the second layer into the winding plane of the first layer. The normal direction of the winding plane is aligned parallel to the winding axis of the first layer and parallel to the winding axis of the second layer. This advantageously ensures optimal utilization of the interior space and the first and second layers are arranged as close as possible to the gearing part, allowing for the most efficient heat dissipation possible.

[0037] In an advantageous embodiment, the smallest distance from the toothed part to the bottom of the trough-shaped housing part is smaller than the largest distance of the second layer from the bottom of the trough-shaped housing part, in particular wherein the rotational axis of the toothed part is aligned perpendicular to the normal direction of the winding plane, in particular wherein the housing has a cover part and the trough-shaped housing part, wherein the cover part is placed on the trough-shaped housing part. It is advantageous that the toothed part protrudes close to the first layer and thus the lubricating oil moved by the first toothed part can be directly dissipated.

[0038] In an advantageous embodiment, a sensor, in particular a leakage sensor, is arranged on the inside of the sleeve, in particular such that the sensor is positioned at the lowest point of the inside of the sleeve in the direction of gravity. This is advantageous in that a high level of protection against leakage can be achieved. The predefined rotational position of the sleeve allows the sensor to be positioned at the lowest point on the inside.

[0039] 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. The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to schematic illustrations:

[0040] Figure 1 shows a housing part 1 of a transmission according to the invention with an inserted pipe 2 in plan view.

[0041] In Figure 2, the pipeline, designed as a two-layer winding, is shown exploded to the housing part 1.

[0042] Figure 3 shows the two-layer winding in an oblique view.

[0043] Figure 4 shows the two-layer winding in side view.

[0044] In Figure 5, the housing part 1 is shown in an oblique view.

[0045] In Figure 6, the housing part 1 is shown in a cut-away side view.

[0046] In Figure 7, the housing part 1 is shown in an oblique view, with a connection 4 being shown at least partially exploded.

[0047] Figure 8 shows the housing part 1 in plan view.

[0048] Figure 9 shows a cross section of the housing part 1 in the area of ​​the at least partially exploded connection 4.

[0049] Figure 10 shows the pipeline 2 with exploded connection in an oblique view.

[0050] As shown in the figures, the transmission has a housing part 1, on the first side of which, in particular the top side, an opening is formed through which the pipe 2 designed as a two-layer winding can be inserted and mounted.

[0051] A first layer 20 of the winding extends further in a first direction than a second layer 21 of the winding. Preferably, the first layer 20 is arranged below the second layer 21 in the direction of gravity. This allows for improved heat dissipation of the housing part 1, since the waste heat flowing into the housing part 1 is quickly distributed over the entire housing part 1, and the first layer 20 is arranged closer to the inner wall of the housing part 1, in particular the underside of the housing part 1, than the second layer 21.

[0052] The pipeline can be supplied with a cooling medium, in particular water, by means of a first connection 3, in particular an inlet, passing through the housing part 1, and by means of a second connection 4, in particular an outlet, passing through the housing part 1, from a pump arranged outside the gearbox.

[0053] The housing part 1 is made of metal, in particular cast steel. The interior of the gearbox is at least partially filled with lubricating oil, which supplies the gearbox bearings and the meshing gear areas.

[0054] To simplify the installation of the pipeline 2, the connections (3, 4) can be mounted sealed from the outside.

[0055] For this purpose, the housing part 1 has a through hole for each connection (3, 4), which has a thread introduced from the outside and not completely through.

[0056] A hollow bushing 71 provided with an external thread is screwed into this thread from the outside and is placed onto a connecting piece 70 projecting through the bore.

[0057] Preferably, the bushing 71 is made of a more elastic material, in particular plastic, than the hollow connecting piece 70. In particular, the connecting piece 70 is made of metal.

[0058] Thus, the bushing 71 is elastically deformed and seals between the connecting piece 70 and the housing part 1. In particular, this seal ensures oil tightness, in particular so that the lubricating oil of the transmission cannot escape into the external environment. The connecting piece 70 protrudes through the housing part 1 as well as through the bushing 71 and through the sleeve 72, in particular in the axial direction, i.e., in particular parallel to the screw direction of the bushing 71 or the screw axis direction of the external thread of the bushing 71.

[0059] The sleeve 72 is aligned coaxially with the bushing 71 and the connecting piece 70 and completely surrounds the bushing 71 radially, in particular in the circumferential direction.

[0060] The area of ​​the bushing 71 protruding axially from the housing part 1 is surrounded by the sleeve 72 and thus protected.

[0061] The sleeve 72 is preferably made of metal.

[0062] The bushing 71 is positioned against the inside of the sleeve 72.

[0063] For additional axial fixation and securing, a nut 73 is screwed with its internal thread onto an externally threaded portion of the connecting piece 70 and is axially positioned against the sleeve 72. Thus, the sleeve 72 is pressed against the housing part 1 by the nut 73.

[0064] The connecting piece 70 is preferably made of metal.

[0065] To form a connection, a union nut 80 with adapter part 81, in particular nozzle, is placed on the pipe 2.

[0066] The pipeline 2 is inserted into a conical region of a recess in the adapter part 81, in particular a nozzle, wherein the clear inner diameter of the adapter part 81 decreases with increasing insertion depth of the pipeline 2 by means of the conical region. On its outer circumference, the conical region of the adapter part 81 has a threaded portion onto which the union nut 80 is screwed with its internal thread, so that the union nut 80 deforms the conical region, in particular shrinking it onto the pipeline. The recess of the adapter part 81 is continuous in the axial direction. The adapter part 81 is screwed into an internally threaded bore of the connecting piece 70 with its end region facing away from the pipeline and provided with an external thread.

[0067] This makes it possible to easily connect the pipeline 2 inside the chamber. The adapter part 81 simply needs to be screwed into the connector and the pipeline inserted into the adapter part 81. The connection is sealed by screwing the union nut 80, particularly with the additional use of a sealing ring or even a cutting ring surrounded by the union nut 80.

[0068] Because the bushing 71 protrudes radially on the side of the housing part 1 facing away from the adapter piece, it is prevented from completely migrating into the bore of the housing part. The bushing 71 is protected by the sleeve 72 forming the housing.

[0069] According to the invention, the end of the pipeline can be connected to the adapter piece and the union nut even before it is inserted into the gearbox. After inserting the pipeline 2 into the gearbox, no screwing is necessary inside the gearbox; simply inserting the adapter piece into the connecting piece 70 is sufficient. Screwing is only required outside the gearbox. Therefore, the invention allows the connection to be arranged extremely close to the bottom of the tub-shaped housing part, in particular near a lower lateral corner of the housing part 1. This is because operation with a tool such as an open-end wrench is not necessary. Thus, the bore can be arranged very close to the bottom or another side wall.

[0070] In further embodiments of the invention, the adapter part 81, in particular the nozzle, and / or the union nut 80 are made of plastic. Thus, improved sealing can be achieved through elastic prestressing.

[0071] In Figure 10 it is clearly visible that the second layer 21 takes up less space than the first layer 20. Thus, this free space, which is located above the area blackened in Figure 10, can be used by a gear that projects into it. In this way, efficient space utilization is enabled. In further embodiments according to the invention, the sleeve 72 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the connecting piece 70 by means of at least one first screw part, in particular a threaded pin, in particular in that the first screw part is screwed into a radially directed threaded bore and projects, in particular and at least partially, into a radially directed recess, in particular a threaded bore, of the connecting piece 70.

[0072] In addition, a second screw part is provided, which is screwed into an axially directed threaded bore of the sleeve 71 and at least partially screwed into an axially directed threaded bore of the housing part 1. This axially directed threaded bore is spaced circumferentially from the above-mentioned radially directed threaded bore.

[0073] Thus, the sleeve 71 is screwed to the housing part 1 by means of the first screw part and is connected to the connecting piece 70 in a rotationally fixed manner by means of the second screw part.

[0074] When screwing in the first screw part, the sleeve 72 presses on the bushing 71. In particular, the nut 73 is then not necessary.

[0075] In further embodiments according to the invention, a sensor, in particular a leakage sensor, is arranged on the inside of the sleeve. The sensor detects the leakage of coolant or lubricant from the bore of the housing part 1. This is because the sleeve 72 surrounds the area of ​​the bushing 71 protruding from the housing part 1 and is pressed against the housing part by the nut 73. Preferably, when using the aforementioned second screw part, the rotational position of the sleeve 72 is fixed. Therefore, the rotational position of the sensor on the inside of the sleeve 72 is also fixed. The rotational position is preferably fixed such that the sensor is arranged at the bottom in the direction of gravity in the area surrounded by the sleeve 72, thus making even the first drops of leakage directly detectable.
