Technical Field

The invention relates to a retarder with a retarder housing.

Background

As is known, a retarder has a retarder housing.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the invention is therefore to design the gear housing as material-saving as possible.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a retarder with a retarder housing according to the features given in claim 1.

In a gear unit having a gear unit housing, in particular a gear unit housing part, the invention is characterized in that the gear unit housing has a support structure formed by a rib/web, and the gear unit housing has a connection surface connected to the rib of the support structure,

wherein the support structure together with the connection face is manufactured additively, in particular by means of 3D printing,

in particular, the connecting surface and the rib form an oil-tight housing part.

The advantage here is that, by means of additive manufacturing by means of a 3D printer, the gear housing can be designed with a biomimetic bearing structure which conducts the force flows occurring or allowed during operation and which can be designed oil-tightly by means of the connecting surface. The biomimetic support structure therefore also has one or more ribs which are guided through the interior of the retarder housing. The force flow between the bearing receptacle and/or the receptacle for the gear cover can thus be optimally guided through the support structure. The thickness of the rib plates can be matched to the force flow. The support structure can therefore be constructed only with a material distribution corresponding to the force flow, so that the gear unit can therefore be produced in a material-saving manner.

In addition to the force flow, other functions, such as oil channels, can also be integrated into the support structure, wherein the thickness of the rib plate of the support structure is increased accordingly. However, the hollow embodiment of the rib also results in a high rigidity, so that no additional material is required for integrating the oil guide into the support structure. Thus, a separate piping arrangement with a pipe system can be saved. Furthermore, the integration of the oil guide improves the heat balance and achieves a uniform temperature of the gear reducer.

In an advantageous embodiment, the ribs are connected to each other and/or to the bearing receptacle and/or to the receptacle for the gear cover. The advantage here is that the forces occurring during operation, in particular transverse forces, are directly conducted away from the bearing receptacle through the bearing structure, so that the connection surfaces can be operated without or at least with low stress, in particular so that the oil tightness can be ensured in a material-saving manner in this way.

In an advantageous embodiment, one of the ribs, in particular an ear-shaped rib, connects two points of the retarder cover and is spaced apart from the retarder housing, in particular from the supporting structure. The advantage here is that the force flow can also be guided through the interior space, as long as the toothed part of the reduction gear is not arranged in the interior space.

In an advantageous embodiment, the gear housing has a bearing receptacle and a receptacle for the gear cover,

wherein the ribs of the support structure are connected with one of the bearing receptacles and/or with said receptacle,

in particular, the bearing receptacle and the receptacle together with the support structure and the connection face are additively manufactured, in particular by means of 3D printing. In this case, it is advantageous that the forces can be transmitted from the bearing mount via the ribs to the respective bearing mount or to the mount for the gear reducer cover. Here, the receptacles are thickened annular structures. The bearing receptacle is annularly closed and stably configured, so that machining, in particular by grinding, can be carried out, so that a bearing receptacle, in particular a bearing seat, can be produced, in which a bearing, such as a rolling bearing and/or a ball bearing, can subsequently be received.

In an advantageous embodiment, each rib of the support structure is shaped differently than any other rib of the support structure. The advantage here is that the ribs can be shaped bionically. Thus, the shape is optimized for force flow. The force flow can thus be guided efficiently with little material expenditure.

In an advantageous embodiment, each connecting surface is shaped differently from any other connecting surface of the gear housing. The advantage here is that the oil-tightness and thus the housing function can be ensured with as little material as possible. Since the connecting surfaces can be operated without force.

In an advantageous embodiment, each rib has at least two cross sections which differ from one another at two different points. The advantage here is that the course of the cross section of the rib in the direction of the rib can be optimized for the force flow to be conducted.

In an advantageous embodiment, each of the ribs is formed in a curved manner and/or each of the connection surfaces is formed in a curved manner. The advantage here is that, in particular, a high degree of rigidity of the support structure can be achieved with a low material expenditure, on the one hand, the force flow can be conducted and, on the other hand.

In an advantageous embodiment, a channel structure formed by channels is formed in the gear housing, in particular in a wall of the gear housing, in particular in the bearing structure. The advantage here is that no additional components, in particular no piping, are required for guiding the oil. In addition, a thermal equilibrium and thus a temperature which is as uniform as possible in the gear housing can be achieved. In this way, effective heat dissipation can be achieved. The additional material expenditure for the channels can be kept low, since the hollow structure is more rigid.

In an advantageous embodiment, the channel structure has branches,

in particular, at least three channels each merge into one another at a respective branch. The advantage here is that increased rigidity and stability and an optimized utilization of the spatial region can be achieved.

In an advantageous embodiment, the first opening of the first channel of the channel structure opens into the collecting channel, the second opening of the first channel of the channel structure or of the further channel opens into the bearing receptacle for lubricating the bearing,

in particular, the gear housing is shaped in such a way that the oil sprayed upwards is at least partially conducted to the collecting channel. The advantage here is that the introduction of the lubricating oil enables better lubrication and thus more efficient use of the gear unit.

In an advantageous embodiment, the first opening of the second channel opens into a first oil sump of the gear housing, the second opening of the second channel opens into a second oil sump,

wherein, between the first oil sump and the second oil sump, a bulge is formed on the gear housing, i.e. in particular the gear housing is designed to bulge, and/or the gear housing has a narrowed clear cross section of the interior region of the gear housing,

the first oil sump and the second oil sump are each part regions of the gear housing. The advantage here is that the oil level in the oil sump can be increased because the oil sump is emptied or at least reduced by the movement of the toothed part during operation.

In an advantageous embodiment, each of the channels of the channel structure extends in each case in a curved manner and/or has a different cross section, in particular a different cross-sectional area and/or a different value of the cross-sectional area, at least at a first point, than at a second point, the first point being spaced apart from the second point. The advantage here is that the channel can be shaped in such a way that a high rigidity and an optimum force transmission can be achieved with as little material as possible, wherein the cross-sectional area of the channel exceeds a threshold value, in particular a minimum area value, at all points of the channel.

In an advantageous embodiment, the first opening of the second channel opens into a recess of the gear housing, which recess is formed by the bearing structure and the connection surface and serves as a first oil sump, and the second opening of the second channel opens into a recess of the gear housing, which recess is formed by the bearing structure and the connection surface and serves as a second oil sump,

wherein the gear housing has a narrowed clear inner diameter or clear cross section of the inner chamber region of the gear housing between the first oil sump and the second oil sump,

and/or wherein, between the first oil sump and the second oil sump, the support structure is raised, in particular has a raised portion. The advantage here is that a balancing of the oil level, i.e. a return flow of oil and an increase in the oil level which is reduced during operation, can be achieved. The centrally arranged elevations or narrowing have the advantage that the contour of the gear housing follows the envelope of the toothed parts as closely as possible.

In an advantageous embodiment, the bearing structure is produced as an additive part together with the connecting surface, the bearing receptacle and/or the receptacle for the gear reducer cover. The advantage here is that the gear housing can be manufactured in a single manufacturing step.

In an alternative embodiment, at least one of the bearing receptacles and/or the receptacle for the gear reducer cover is produced as a casting,

in particular, the bearing structure with the connecting surface is manufactured as an additive, in particular, the reduction gear housing is manufactured as a composite part of the bearing receptacle and/or the receptacle for the reduction gear cover and the bearing structure with the connecting surface. The advantage here is that the gear housing can be produced as a composite part of the receiving part produced by casting and the support structure produced in an additive manner thereon, together with the connecting surface. Since the receptacle can then be produced with high rigidity and can be produced precisely by means of a cutting method. Nevertheless, a biomimetic shape of the support structure can be achieved and can be implemented in a material-saving manner.

In an advantageous embodiment, the gear housing is made of metal, in particular aluminum, in particular made as an additive. The advantage here is that a stable metal housing can be provided. In this case, high rigidity and stability can be achieved by additive manufacturing with low material expenditure. Furthermore, the biomimetic shape of the support structure together with the connecting surface cannot be produced by conventional casting methods (Formgie β en), at least not in a cost-effective manner.

Further advantages are given by the dependent claims. The invention is not limited to the combination of features of the claims. Other possible combinations of the features of the claims and/or of the individual claims and/or of the features of the description and/or of the drawings can be derived by the person skilled in the art, in particular from the objects set forth and/or by comparison with the prior art.

Fig. 3 shows a support structure formed by rib 1 together with bearing receptacle 6 and a receptacle for reduction gear cover 5, wherein the connecting surface connecting the rib is removed.

Fig. 4 shows a gear housing in a sectional view.

Detailed Description

As shown in the figures, the reducer housing is manufactured additively, in particular by a 3D printer. As material for the gear housing, preferably metal, in particular aluminum, is used.

The gear housing has a support structure which is formed by the ribs 1 which are connected to one another. Further, some of the ribs 1 are connected with the bearing receiving portion 6 and the receiving portion for the speed reducer cover 5. The ribs 1 are each shaped differently. In particular, the ribs each have a curved profile. Each of the ribs 1 preferably has at least two different cross-sections.

The support structure is similar to a skeleton. The connecting surfaces 2 extend on the exposed surfaces between the individual ribs 1, so that the bearing structure together with the connecting surfaces 2 forms an oil-tight gear housing.

At least one of the ribs 1 extends from a first point of the gear housing to another point of the gear housing, wherein the rib 1 projects into the interior and is spaced apart from the gear housing at least in sections. Thus, the rib 1 can be engaged from behind.

The support structure is used primarily to guide the force flow during the operation of the retarder.

The connecting surface 2 has a smaller wall thickness than the rib 1. The support structure also connects the receptacle for the reduction gear cover 5 with the bearing receptacle 6, so that not only the bearing receptacle and the receptacle for the reduction gear cover are held, but also lateral forces occurring during operation are guided through the support structure. The connection surface 2 is primarily used for oil sealing, but not for guiding the force flow.

Each of the more than fifteen connecting surfaces 2 is specially shaped, i.e. in particular different from all other connecting surfaces 2 of the gear housing, in particular each of the connecting surfaces is curved. Likewise, each of the more than fifteen ribs 1 is also specially shaped, i.e. in particular different from all the other ribs 1 of the reducer casing.

As shown in fig. 2, an oil sump 20 is formed on the inner side of the gear case. Furthermore, a wiper device is provided in the interior of the gear unit, which wiper device conveys oil wiped off by means of the wiper device, independently of the direction of rotation, to the oil sump 20. Inside the support structure, the channel 43 leads from this oil sump 20 towards the bearing, in particular the bearing receptacle, in particular the bearing flange, so that the bearing is lubricated by the oil flowing out of the respective orifice 21 of the respective channel.

Each of the channels leading from the port of the respective channel to the end region of the respective channel leading into the other channel or to the further port of the respective channel is curved and has at least two different channel cross sections, in particular and therefore particular, i.e. unique over the whole of all the channels constructed on the gear housing.

The other duct is integrated into the transmission housing and here also extends inside the transmission housing wall. The further channel serves to balance the oil level between the two partial regions of the oil sump of the gear unit. Because the gear housing is shaped such that it approximates the contour of the toothed part as closely as possible. Since the gear unit has two gears whose tooth sections mesh with one another and whose rotational axes are aligned parallel and spaced apart from one another, the gear unit housing has two recesses on its bottom, which are spaced apart from one another by means of elevations 42 and in particular each serve as an oil sump (40, 41).

The further channel opens with its first opening into the first oil sump 40 and with its second opening into the second oil sump 41. Therefore, the two oil levels of the two oil sumps 40 and 41 can be balanced. The other channel passes below the ridge 42.

Fig. 5 shows an oil sump 20, in which oil wiped off by means of a wiping device on the smooth side of a rotating gear, in particular a spur gear, is guided into a channel 43, which leads to a bearing receptacle of a bearing. In particular, one of the bearings is a bearing that rotatably supports the gear.

In other embodiments according to the invention, the bearing receptacle 6 and the receptacle for the reduction gear cover 5 are manufactured as castings and the support structure together with the connection face is manufactured thereon in an additive manufacturing, in particular in a 3D printing manner.
