Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
As shown in fig. 1-2, the schematic diagram of the differential lubrication structure provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to an automobile speed reducer, and the lubrication of the internal gear of the differential is realized. In the present embodiment, the differential is located in the speed reducer case, and the differential includes a differential case 11, and side gears and planetary gears located in the differential case 11; the differential lubrication structure of the present embodiment includes a window hole 111 in the differential case 11, and an oil stirring gear 12 in the gear case. The oil stirring gear 12 is disposed opposite to the window hole 111 of the differential case 11, and the oil stirring gear 12 drives the lubricating oil in the speed reducer case to enter the differential case 11 through the window hole 111 when rotating.
Specifically, when the oil slinger 12 rotates, the lubricating oil adhered to the tooth surfaces thereof is thrown out by the centrifugal force, and when the window hole 111 of the differential case 11 rotates following the differential case 11 to be opposed to the tooth surfaces of the oil slinger 12, part of the lubricating oil thrown out by the oil slinger 12 enters the differential case 11 through the window hole 111, thereby lubricating the side gears and the planetary gears in the differential case 11.
According to the differential lubrication structure, the window hole 111 is additionally formed in the differential shell 11, and the reasonable shafting arrangement is adopted, so that the window hole and the oil throwing direction of the oil stirring gear 12 are oppositely arranged, the lubricating oil in the speed reducer shell can be driven to enter the differential shell 11 through the window hole 111 when the oil stirring gear 12 rotates, and sufficient lubricating oil film protection can be provided for the planetary gear and the half axle gear in the differential shell.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the window hole 111 is opposite to the tooth surface of the side gear in the differential case 11, that is, the window hole 111 is located outside the tooth surface of the side gear, so that when the window hole 111 rotates to be opposite to the tooth surface of the oil stirring gear 12 following the differential case 11, the lubricating oil thrown out by the oil stirring gear 12 can directly pass through the window hole 111 to reach the tooth surface of the side gear, and the planetary gear obtains the lubricating oil by meshing with the side gear. Through the structure, lubricating oil obtained by the side gear and the planetary gear can be further increased, and the lubricating effect of the differential is improved.
In another embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of window holes 111 may be further provided on the differential case 11, and the plurality of window holes 111 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction on the differential case 11. The structure can not only ensure the stability of the differential rotation, but also increase the passage of the lubricating oil thrown out by the oil mixing gear 12 into the differential case 11, namely, the lubricating oil thrown out by the oil mixing gear 12 can enter the differential case 11 for a plurality of times when the differential case 11 rotates for one circle.
In another embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate the layout and driving of the oil mixing gear 12 in the reducer case, the rotation axis of the oil mixing gear 12 is parallel to the rotation axis of the side gear, so that each window hole 111 is opposite to the oil mixing gear 12 once per one rotation of the differential case 11.
To further increase the amount of lubricating oil entering the differential case 11, the rotating shaft of the oil stirring gear 12 is located above or obliquely above the rotating shaft of the side gear (for example, the angle between the line connecting the center of the cross section of the rotating shaft of the oil stirring gear 12 and the center of the cross section of the rotating shaft of the differential is not less than 30 ° with respect to the horizontal plane), so that, in addition to the lubricating oil thrown directly out by the oil stirring gear 12 and entering the differential case 11 through the window hole 111, part of the lubricating oil carried along by the rotation of the oil stirring gear 12 descends under the action of gravity and enters the differential case 11 through the window hole 111, i.e., the amount of lubricating oil used for lubricating the side gear and the planetary gear is greatly increased.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the window 111 is located on the circumferential surface of the differential case 11. In the differential case 11, the two side gears are coaxially disposed with the tooth surfaces of the two side gears facing each other, and by disposing the window holes 111 on the circumferential surface of the differential case 11, the tooth surfaces of the two side gears can simultaneously receive the lubricating oil entering from the window holes 111, and the amount of the lubricating oil received can be large.
In addition, as shown in fig. 2, the tooth surface of the oil stirring gear 12 may be opposed to the window hole 111 (i.e., opposed to the circumferential surface where the window hole 111 is located), and the distance d between the tooth surface of the oil stirring gear 12 and the differential case 11 at the position of the window hole 111 may be smaller than or equal to a preset value. So that the lubricating oil thrown off by the tooth faces of the oil stirring gear 12 can enter more into the differential case 11 and can be directly thrown off to the tooth faces of the side gear in the differential case 11. The preset values can be adjusted according to the precision of each component, and the smaller the preset value is, the better the preset value is on the premise of not influencing the gear transmission of the differential because the differential case 11 rotates along with the differential main body.
To ensure the amount of lubricating oil that enters the differential case 11, the window hole 111 corresponds to a central angle of not less than 30 ° in the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential surface of the differential case 11. In practical applications, the central angle of the window hole 111 in the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential surface of the differential case 11 may be made large, for example, the central angle of the window hole 111 in the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential surface of the differential case 11 may be made 90 °, while ensuring the structural strength.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the reduction gear housing has a driving shaft, the driving shaft has a driving gear thereon, and the driving gear is engaged with the disk teeth 13 of the differential, so as to drive the differential to rotate through the driving shaft and the driving gear. The oil stirring gear 12 is positioned on the driving shaft and is driven by the driving shaft to rotate, so that oil stirring is realized.
