Spur gear transmission
A spur gear transmission includes a first gearwheel and a second gearwheel in engagement with one another in a rolling contact region, a transmission housing having housing walls which surround the first and second gearwheels at the end faces and at the circumference, the transmission housing being at least partially filled with a lubricating fluid, the second gearwheel being guided in a rotating manner through the lubricating fluid, and the lubricating fluid being delivered in the direction of the rolling contact region, and at least one deflector arrangement arranged directly ahead of the rolling contact region in relation to the direction of rotation of the gearwheels, being configured such that a partial quantity of the lubricating fluid that can be delivered to the rolling contact region by the second gearwheel is diverted in the direction of at least one of the housing walls surrounding the gearwheels at the end faces.
1 . A spur gear transmission, comprising:
a first gearwheel and a second gearwheel in engagement with one another in a rolling contact region and guided on axes of rotation aligned parallel to one another;
a transmission housing having housing walls which surround the first and second gearwheels at end faces and at the circumference, the transmission housing being at least partially filled with a lubricating fluid, the second gearwheel being guided in a rotating manner through the lubricating fluid, and the lubricating fluid being delivered in the direction of the rolling contact region; and
at least one deflector arrangement arranged directly ahead of the rolling contact region in relation to the direction of rotation of the gearwheels, being configured such that a partial quantity of the lubricating fluid that can be delivered to the rolling contact region by the second gearwheel is diverted in the direction of at least one of the housing walls surrounding the gearwheels at the end faces, the at least one deflector arrangement having a fastening region held on one of the housing walls, the at least one deflector arrangement including at least one deflector part extending from the fastening region and projecting over the circumferential surface of the second gearwheel, and the at least one deflector part including a first deflector part having a guide surface aligned perpendicularly to the circumferential surface of the second gearwheel, wherein the guide surface of the first deflector part, extending from the fastening part counter to the direction of rotation of the second gearwheel, encloses an acute angle with the end-face housing wall.
2 . The spur gear transmission of claim 1 , wherein the at least one deflector part has a second deflector part having a first guide surface aligned perpendicularly to the circumferential surface of the second gearwheel, wherein the first guide surface of the second deflector part, extending from the fastening part in the direction of rotation of the second gearwheel, encloses an obtuse angle with the end-face housing wall.
3 . The spur gear transmission of claim 2 , wherein the second deflector part comprises a deflector region having a further guide surface, which, starting from the first guide surface of the second deflector part, extends at an angle in the direction of one of the housing walls and encloses an obtuse angle with the first guide surface of the second deflector part.
4 . The spur gear transmission of claim 3 , wherein the deflector region of the second deflector part which comprises the further guide surface at least partially delimits a transmission space surrounding the first gearwheel from a transmission space surrounding the second gearwheel.
5 . The spur gear transmission of claim 2 , wherein the first deflector part is arranged ahead of the second deflector part in the direction of rotation of the second gearwheel.
6 . The spur gear transmission of one of claim 2 , wherein the at least one deflector arrangement comprises a first and a second deflector arrangement, wherein the first and second deflector arrangements are of substantially mirror-symmetrical design and are arranged opposite one another, in each case on one of the housing walls surrounding the gearwheels at the end faces.
7 . The spur gear transmission of claim 6 , wherein a passage gap is formed between the first and the second deflector arrangements at free ends of the respective first and second deflector parts.
8 . An agricultural harvesting machine including a spur gear transmission, comprising:
a first gearwheel and a second gearwheel in engagement with one another in a rolling contact region and guided on axes of rotation aligned parallel to one another;
a transmission housing having housing walls which surround the first and second gearwheels at end faces and at the circumference, the transmission housing being at least partially filled with a lubricating fluid, the second gearwheel being guided in a rotating manner through the lubricating fluid, and the lubricating fluid being delivered in the direction of the rolling contact region; and
at least one deflector arrangement arranged directly ahead of the rolling contact region in relation to the direction of rotation of the gearwheels, being configured such that a partial quantity of the lubricating fluid that can be delivered to the rolling contact region by the second gearwheel is diverted in the direction of at least one of the housing walls surrounding the gearwheels at the end faces, the at least one deflector arrangement having a fastening region held on one of the housing walls, the at least one deflector arrangement including at least one deflector part extending from the fastening region and projecting over the circumferential surface of the second gearwheel, and the at least one deflector part including a first deflector part having a guide surface aligned perpendicularly to the circumferential surface of the second gearwheel, wherein the guide surface of the first deflector part, extending from the fastening part counter to the direction of rotation of the second gearwheel, encloses an acute angle with the end-face housing wall.
9 . The agricultural harvesting machine of claim 8 , wherein the at least one deflector part has a second deflector part having a first guide surface aligned perpendicularly to the circumferential surface of the second gearwheel, wherein the first guide surface of the second deflector part, extending from the fastening part in the direction of rotation of the second gearwheel, encloses an obtuse angle with the end-face housing wall.
10 . The agricultural harvesting machine of claim 9 , wherein the second deflector part comprises a deflector region having a further guide surface, which, starting from the first guide surface of the second deflector part, extends at an angle in the direction of one of the housing walls and encloses an obtuse angle with the first guide surface of the second deflector part.
11 . The agricultural harvesting machine of claim 10 , wherein the deflector region of the second deflector part which comprises the further guide surface at least partially delimits a transmission space surrounding the first gearwheel from a transmission space surrounding the second gearwheel.
12 . The agricultural harvesting machine of claim 9 , wherein the first deflector part is arranged ahead of the second deflector part in the direction of rotation of the second gearwheel.
13 . The agricultural harvesting machine of one of claim 9 , wherein the at least one deflector arrangement comprises a first and a second deflector arrangement, wherein the first and second deflector arrangements are of substantially mirror-symmetrical design and are arranged opposite one another, in each case on one of the housing walls surrounding the gearwheels at the end faces.
14 . The agricultural harvesting machine of claim 13 , wherein a passage gap is formed between the first and the second deflector arrangements at free ends of the respective first and second deflector parts.
