Description

WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
TECHNICAL FIELD
100011 The present invention relates to a wheel drive system, in particular to a wheel drive system for an off-highway dump truck.
Background
[0002] The wheel drive system of an off-highway dump truck is installed inside and on the side of a vehicle tire, and drives the vehicle to move forward via speed reduction and torque increase. On electric wheel trucks, in general, the typical process is that, the power of an engine is transmitted to a generator and then transmitted to a traction motor through frequency conversion control. The traction motor converts the electric energy into mechanical energy with a high speed and a small torque, the mechanical energy is then output with a low speed and a large torque through a gear transmission device.
[0003] As a certain amount of lubrication oil is injected into the wheel-side reducers of the above wheel drive system and used for lubricating parts such as internal gears and bearings, reliable sealing is achieved by isolation from the outside by means of static sealing devices of the power input end and dynamic sealing devices of the power output end. The power output end directly contacts the atmosphere above the wheel, with more dust, water vapor and high linear speed, large vibration, as well as the uneven internal pressure, it has a very bad sealing condition and the sealing failure often occurs. Once the sealing fails, the wheel-side reducer is easily damaged, so that the whole vehicle is forced to stop to be maintained, thereby causing large economic loss.
[0004] Chinese patent No. 201210119760.5 discloses a sealing member used together with a torque tube, however, practice shows that after long-term operation of the sealing realized by the technical solution, oil leakage easily occurs due to the fact that: the first part and the second part of the sealing member are mainly used for preventing external pollutants from entering into a gearbox, a sealing ring installed within the third part prevents lubrication oil inside the gearbox from leaking with a lip sealing device by contact sealing. However, when the gearbox works, components such as bearings and gears in the gearbox rotate at a high speed, relative negative pressure is inevitably generated in the area close to the rotating components according to the fluid Bernoulli effect, so that the internal pressure of the gearbox is uneven and unstable. The lip sealing device for realizing the contact sealing is directly subjected to the effect of continuously changing differential pressure inside and outside a gearbox, not only the sealing is not reliable due to the change in shape, but oil leakage is also easily caused by repeated deformation and fatigue failure.
[0005] On the other hand, while the wheel drive system provides power for the vehicle, the wheel-side drive device bears the weight load of the whole vehicle. The structure of an existing wheel-side drive device is shown in Fig.1, the inner end of a motor 2 is in transmission connection with a torque tube 6 supported on a frame 4 through gear transmission device 3, the torque tube 6 is connected with the inner end of a hub 9 installed outside a motor shell through inner and outer bearings 7 and 10, the outer end of the motor 2 is connected with the outer end of the hub 9 via a brake assembly 1 to form an outer sealing structure; the outer end of an inner rim 5 and the inner end of an outer rim 12 which are provided with wedge convergents are sleeved at two ends of the outer circle of a hub 9 respectively, the inner end of the outer circle of the hub 9 has a wedge spigot matched with the wedge convergent of the outer end of the inner rim 5, and a wedge-shaped pressing ring 11 matched with the wedge convergent of the inner end of the outer rim 12 is installed at the outer end of the outer circle of the hub 9. The outer end of the wedge-shaped pressing ring 11 is installed with a spacer ring 8 which presses the wedge-shaped pressing ring 11 on an end face of the hub 9. They are fixed to each other with the help of the wedge-shaped structures at two ends of the outer circle of the hub 9 and those of the inner rim and the outer rim and the spacer ring 8 clamped between the inner rim and the outer rim, they are fixed to each other.
The advantages of the prior art lie in that, the hub and the wheel rims on the two sides are fastened at a time through the spacer rings and the pressing rings with fasteners on one side, and are wedged tightly via the wedge bevels, and therefore the fixed structure is simple and compact, and has a high radial bearing capacity. However, the practice proves that with the continuous increase of the tonnage of the dump truck, the structure in which a plurality of bonding faces transmitting torque through friction force is prone to slip after working for a period of time, thereby causing fault. According to analysis, the root cause of the slipping in the prior art is that, the clamping connection between the hub 9 and the inner rim 5, the clamping connection between the hub 9 and the outer rim 12 completely depend on the fasteners of the wedge-shaped pressing rings 11. Therefore, the manufacturing precision of the inclination angles of the corresponding parts of the wedge spigot of the hub 9, the wedge-shaped pressing ring 11, the inner rim 5 and the outer rim 12 as well as the manufacturing precision of the axial length S of the wedge-shaped pressing ring 11 directly influence the clamping force, and the complex dimension chain relation formed there between is very strict to the distribution of manufacturing tolerance. In practice, the theoretically required manufacturing precision is difficult to be obtained.
[0006] It was found that Chinese Patent No. 201280012998.6 discloses a wheel assembly used on off-highway vehicles. According to the technical solution, the hubs are connected with the wheel rims on the two sides through the bolts respectively, so that the defect that the hubs are easy to slip due to the fact that torque is transmitted mainly by means of friction force of a bonding face is overcome. However, a hub adapter is additionally required, which leads to a complex structure.
Also, the transmission is essentially transmitted by the clamping friction force, so that the reliability is still not enough.
[0007] On one hand, most of the hubs of a mining dump truck in current market are integrally cast, large numbers of procedures and complex influence factors of castings, lead to the defects of a unstable quality. Also, air holes and looseness easily occur.
[0008] On the other hand, the wheel-side gearbox is usually a two-stage or three-stage transmission mechanism, wherein a high-speed small-torque load is input by the first stage and is changed into a low-speed large-torque load step by step. When an existing wheel drive system works, a certain amount of lubrication oil is filled in a wheel-side gearbox, and components such as gears, bearings and friction pairs are lubricated in a splashing way through oil stirring of rotary-type components and parts. However, due to the fact that the positions of individual components and parts in the wheel-side gearbox are improper, lubrication oil cannot lubricate the components and parts in splashing way, thereby the service life of the components and parts is affected, and then the reliability of the wheel-side gearbox is affected.

[0035] Another object of the present invention lies in that: providing a combined sealing structure of the wheel-side reducer, which is capable of effectively avoiding oil leakage and remarkably improving the sealing reliability by improving the structure directed to the defects in the prior art.
[0036] On such cognitive basis, the applicant provides a combined sealing structure of wheel-side reducer capable of avoiding sealing failure caused by pressure fluctuation, and the basic technical solution comprises: a static ring fixed to the frame and a moving ring disposed opposite to the static ring and fixed to the torque tube, wherein at least three annular rings are provided on the end face of the static ring in the radial direction from outside to inside;

[0037] The quadruple sealing structures have respective functions: the labyrinth sealing mainly plays a role in dust prevention and can prevent the entry of most external particles; the contact-type packing seal not only completely prevents the entry of particles, but also blocks the external water vapor; the main sealing effect of the oil seal is to tightly block lubrication oil in the wheel-side reducer; the throttle ring sealing has the effect of generating a friction effect when fluid passes through the zigzag throttling gap of the comb tooth and reducing the pressure on the oil seal;

[0039] The present invention is further improved as follows: the static ring is fixed to a frame of the wheel-side reducer through a buckling edge thereof, an inner spigot of the buckling edge is in transition fit with an outer spigot on the frame, and a sealant is coated between the inner spigot and the outer spigot. Therefore, not only the disassembly and assembly during maintenance are facilitated, but the lubrication oil can also be preferentially prevented from leaking from the fit clearance between the static ring and the frame.
[0040] The present invention is further improved as follows: a thickness of the comb teeth is substantially the same as a width of a gap between the comb teeth, a length of the comb tooth is 2-2.5 times the thickness of the comb tooth. Tests prove that the optimized parameters ensure that fluid causing continuously-changed internal pressure of the wheel-side reducer fully releases kinetic energy in the throttle cavity, and therefore, the impact of internal pressure change of the wheel-side reducer on a lip of the oil seal is effectively restrained.
[0041] The present invention is further improved as follows: one end of the moving ring which is far away from the static ring is provided with a moving ring installing face on the inner circumference and a connecting plate installing base on the end face, the radial position of the moving ring is limited by the radial transition fit between the moving ring installing face and the torque tube, the axial position of the moving ring is limited by the connecting plate mounted and clamped in the corresponding clamping groove of the torque tube by the connecting plate installing base. As a result, the moving ring and the torque tube are flexibly connected, and the influence of twisting deformation of the torque tube on the moving ring is isolated.
[0042] The present invention is further improved as follows: one end of the throttle ring adjacent to the oil seal is provided with a limiting protrusion, so that the oil seal can be stably and axially limited, and the sealing effect of the oil seal can be better obtained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0088] It is noted that, embodiments of the present invention and features in embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and in connection with embodiments.
[0089] The present invention is described in further detail below in connection with specific examples, which are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention as claimed.
[0090] The combined sealing structure of the wheel-side reducer in wheel drive system is applied between the torque output end of a mine wheel-side reducer shown in FIG. 2 and a frame 4 connected with a rear axle of a vehicle and a torque tube 6 connected with tires of the vehicle. A
static ring 15 and a moving ring 16 are fixed to the opposite positions of the frame 4 and the torque tube 6 respectively, specifically as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a buckling edge 15-5 of the static ring 15 is assembled and fixed to the frame 4 of the wheel-side reducer with a static ring installing bolt 17 and an lock washer 18, an inner spigot of the buckling edge 15-5 is in transition fit with an outer spigot of the frame 4, the inner spigot of the static ring 15 is in transition fit with the outer spigot of the frame 4, an flat sealant 19 is coated on an assembling face 15-6 of the static ring 15 and the frame 4, including an end face and a spigot fitting face, and the flat sealant 19 is used for preventing lubrication oil from leaking from the assembling face 15-6.
[0091] Three annular rings 15-1 are provided on the end face of the static ring 15 in the radial direction from outside to inside, the outer circle of the innermost annular ring is provided with a clamping groove 15-2 for embedding an oil seal, namely a packing 20, the width of the clamping groove is slightly smaller than that of the packing 20, two end faces of the clamping groove contact the bottom face and press on the packing 20 tightly, and the fastening glue is coated between the packing 20 and the packing installing groove 15-2 and used for fixing the packing in the circumferential direction, so that the circumferential sliding in the working process can be avoided.
A throttle ring 21 and an oil seal 22 are tightly assembled on the inner circle of the innermost annular ring. The throttle ring 21 is provided with a set of four radially-extending comb teeth 21-1 which are spaced axially, wherein the thickness of the comb tooth is basically consistent with the width of gaps among the comb teeth, and the length of the comb tooth is 2-2.5 times of the thickness of the comb teeth; and wherein a limiting protrusion 21-2 is arranged at one end of the throttle ring 21 which is close to the oil seal 22õ thereby preventing the throttle ring 21 from interfering with a spring in the oil seal.
100921 An ring protrusion 16-1 and a lower edge inner ring 16-7 which are embedded between adjacent annular rings to form a radial labyrinth sealing A are provided on the end face of the moving ring 16 in the radial direction from outside to inside. The inner circumferential surface of the ring protrusion opposite to the clamping groove 15-2 contacts the packing to form a packing seal B. A moving ring installing face 16-8 and a connecting plate installing base 16-6 are provided at one end of the moving ring 16 which far away from the static ring 15; the moving ring 16 is in radial transition fit with the torque tube 6 via the moving ring installing face 16-8, so that the radial position of the moving ring 16 is limited. A moving ring 16 is assembled with a connecting plate 25 by a connecting plate installing base 16-6, a circle of evenly distributed connecting plates 25 (8-16 connecting plates) are assembled on the moving ring 16 via moving ring installing bolts 23, and a conical washer 24 is cushioned below the moving ring installing bolt 23 and is used for providing sufficient pre-tightening force. The connecting plate 25 is clamped in a connecting plate fixing groove 6-1 on the torque tube 6, so that the axial position between the moving ring 16 and the torque tube 6 is fixed. A wear band installing groove 16-5 is formed in the lower edge 16-7 of the moving ring, and the outer diameter of the groove is in interference fit with a wear band 26, so that the wear band 26 is embedded in the position of the lower edge inner ring 16-7 which corresponds to the oil seal 22. The connecting plate 25 is clamped in a groove in the torque tube 6 so as to limit the axial position of the moving ring 16; a ring groove 16-4 for mounting an 0-ring 27 is provided on the moving ring installing face 16-8. The outer circle of the lower edge inner ring 16-7 forms an oil sealing C by contacting an oil seal 22, and forms a throttle ring sealing D at the position opposite to the throttle ring.
[0093] In conclusion, the above structures of the embodiments form four sealing solutions, namely a dustproof labyrinth sealing A, a packing seal B, an oil sealing C and a throttle ring sealing D, which are internally associated with one another and shown in FIG. 5. Therein, the dustproof labyrinth sealing A forms at least two labyrinth cavities, the radial gap of each dustproof labyrinth cavity is 1.5-2mm, and the dustproof labyrinth cavities are filled with lubrication grease. Such non-contact type seal is used for blocking external large-size particles from entering into the reducer and blocking and reducing part of small-particle dust and water vapor from entering into a contact sealing surface at the internal packing. A fitting face 16-2 of the packing seal B contacts with a certain pressure, and relatively slides during operation. The lubrication grease in the gap provides sufficient lubrication for the fitting face 16-2 of the packing, and the lubrication grease is mainly used for blocking external water vapor and dust from entering into the gearbox. The surface hardness of the wear band 26 of the oil sealing C is not smaller than HRC 60.
When the wheel-side reducer operates, the oil seal 22 and the wear band 26 slide relatively, and the sealing lip is made of rubber materials and has good elasticity, so that the influence of the change of the jumping value between the moving and static parts caused by part deformation due to vehicle weight change and impact load during the operating of the reducer on sealing can be resisted. In the throttle ring sealing D, a 0.5-0.8mm gap is formed between the lower end of the comb teeth of the throttle ring and the fitting face of the moving ring. When the wheel-side reducer operates, due to gear meshing 28 and bearing rotation 29 near the moving and static seals of the output end, the pressure of fluid (lubrication oil and gas) at the sealing position of the gearbox is continuously changed, and when the fluid caused by pressure change impacts the seals and when the fluid passes through an annular narrow gap of the throttle ring, pressure is reduced and the speed is increased, then the fluid suddenly expands in an annular cavity to generate a vortex, so that the pressure is reduced and energy is consumed. When the fluid passes through a plurality of comb teeth and then reaches the oil seal, kinetic energy of fluid is consumed completely, and thus the impact on a lip of the oil seal is avoided, therefore leakage is effectively avoided.
[0094] In conclusion, the combination of a contact-type sealing structure and a non-contact-type sealing structure not only provides four sealing solutions with various characteristics, but also the dustproof labyrinth sealing A has the effects of reducing particles from entering the contacting face of the packing seal B and delaying the abrasion of the contacting face, and the packing seal B has the effect of preventing external water vapor and the like from entering the oil seal C, which is helpful for preventing the contact lip from being corroded and abraded by external pollution; the throttling gap and an expansion cavity formed by a throttle ring sealing D can effectively inhibit pressure impact of fluid on a lip of the oil seal, and the leakage risk is greatly reduced. Such sealing solutions form an organic combination relation in a very limited and narrow space. Compared with the prior art, the sealing effect is obviously improved in both reliability and durability.
[0095] A wheel-side drive device of a wheel drive system is shown in FIG. 6, a frame 4 is fixed on a vehicle body, a traction motor 2 installed on the outer side of the frame 4 determines a rotation axis, and the inner output end of the motor 2 is in transmission connection with a torque tube 6 supported on the frame 4 through a gearbox 3. Therefore, the high-speed torque output by the traction motor 2 can be transmitted to the torque tube 6 after speed reduction and torque increase via the gearbox 3. A flange edge at the outer end of the torque tube 6 is fixed to the inner end of a hub 9 arranged outside a motor shell through an inner bearing 7 and an outer bearing 10 by fasteners, the outer end of the motor 2 is connected with a frame 4 via a brake assembly 1 and is connected with the outer end of the hub 9 to form an outer sealing device. The brake assembly 1 is composed of a brake clamp and a brake disc, wherein the brake clamp is connected with the frame 4, and the brake disc is connected with the outer end of the motor 2.
The basic structures are the same as the prior art and are not described in detail.
[0096] Two ends of the hub 9 are respectively sleeved and fixed at the outer end of the inner rim and the inner end of the outer rim 12. Specifically, the outer end of the inner rim 5 is provided with a wedge convergent 5-1, and the inner end of the hub 9 is provided with a wedge spigot 9-1 matched with the wedge convergent 5-1 and formed on one side of a radial epotaxial edge 9-3. The wedge spigot 9-1 and the pressing ring 8' pressing the outer end face of the inner rim 5 form a clamping structure to the wedge convergent 5-1 through a penetrating bolt, and the opposite end faces of the radial epotaxial edge 9-3 and the pressing ring 8' are provided with an edge ring concave 9-2 and a protruding ring 5-2 which are matched with each other respectively. Hence, the inner side and the outer side of the pressing ring 8' are guaranteed to be reliably pressed on the hub 9 and the inner rim 5 respectively.
[0097] An inner retaining ring 12-1 with a through hole extends from the vicinity of the inner end of the outer rim 12 towards the rotation axis, the inner retaining ring 12-1 is abutted against the outer end face of the radial outer edge 9-4 of the outer end of a hub 9, wherein the outer end face is provided with a threaded hole, and a bolt is screwed into the threaded hole of the hub 9 via the through hole of the inner retaining ring 12-1 to form a pressing and fastening structure.
[0098] One of the specific structures of the hub in the embodiment is shown in FIGs.9-1, 9-2 and 9-3. Two ends of the hub cylinder 9-6 respectively have a radial epotaxial edge 9-3 and a radial outer edge 9-4. A wedge spigot 9-1 matched with the wedge convergent 5-1 is formed on one side of the radial epotaxial edge 9-3, and a reducing connecting ring 9-7 extends from the other side of the radial epotaxial edge 9-3 in the axial direction. The reducing connecting ring 9-9 extends from the radial outer edge 9-4 in the axial direction. Through holes used for forming a clamping structure of the wedge convergent 5-1 with the pressing ring 8' through penetrating bolts are evenly distributed at intervals on the periphery of the end face of the radial epotaxial edge 9-3. Threaded holes used for fixing the torque tube 6 are evenly distributed at intervals on the periphery of the end face of the connecting ring 9-7. Threaded holes used for fixing an inner retaining ring 12-1 are evenly distributed on the periphery of the end face of the radial outer edge 9-4 at intervals, and threaded holes used for fixing an outer sealing device are evenly distributed on the periphery of the end face of the connecting ring 9-9. Reinforcing ribs 9-5 for connecting the radial epotaxial edge 9-3 and the radial outer edge 9-4 are evenly distributed on the surface of the outer circle of the hub cylinder 9-6 in the circumferential direction at intervals, and therefore the lightweight of the hub is achieved.
[0099] Another lightweight design of the hub in the embodiment is shown in FIGs.10-1, 10-2 and
10-3, and is different from the design in FIGs.9-1, 9-2 and 9-3 in that, reinforcing arcs 9-5' for connecting the radial epotaxial edge 9-3 and the radial outer edge 9-4 are evenly distributed outside the outer circle of the hub cylinder 9-6 at intervals in the circumferential direction.
[0100] During assembly, the inner rim 5 is firstly sleeved to the inner end of the hub 9 by contacting and locating the opposite wedge bevels, then the pressing ring 8' is sleeved, and the inner side and the outer side of the pressing ring 8' are reliably pressed on the hub 9 and the inner rim 5 by fasteners respectively; and then the outer rim 12 is sleeved to the inner retaining ring 12-1 to be abutted against the outer end of the hub 9, and the fastener is screwed into the threaded hole of the hub 9 to pressi and fasten the outer rim 12. And the disassembling steps are opposite and are very convenient.
[0101] According to the present embodiment, the hub, the inner rim and the outer rim are respectively and independently fixed, wherein the hub and the outer rim are completely connected by fasteners, and the hub and the inner rim are wedged tightly by a wedge bevel. Hence, the slipping risk of friction torque transmission is remarkably reduced, and the advantage of high radial bearing capacity is basically maintained. Also, a hub adapter is not required.
The embodiment has a simple structure and a simple manufacturing and assembling process.
[0102] The second wheel-side drive device of the wheel drive system is shown in FIG. 7, and the basic structure is the same as that shown in FIG. 6, what makes them different is that an inner fitting face 5-2' with through holes extends from the vicinity of the outer end of the inner rim 5 towards the rotation axis, a flange turnup 9-2' is arranged at the inner end of the hub 9, wherein the outer end face of the flange turnup 9-2' is attached to the inner end face of the inner fitting face 5-2' and a fastening structure is formed through a penetrating bolt and nut.
An inner retaining hoop 12-2 with through holes abutting against the outer end face of the hub 9 and provided with threaded holes extend towards the rotation axis from the vicinity of the inner end of the outer rim 12, and a bolt penetrates through the through hole of the inner retaining hoop 12-2 and the through hole of the outer sealing device at the same time and is screwed into the threaded hole on the periphery of the outer end face of the hub 9 to form a pressing and fastening structure, and a structure fixed to the outer sealing device.
[0103] One of the specific structures of the hub in the present embodiment is shown in FIGs.11-1,
11-2 and 11-3.
