Research on Influencing Factors of Gear Lubrication of Automobile Wheel Reducer Based on Computer Simulation

The wheel reducer has a compact structure and high transmission power, and is widely used in new energy vehicles. However, it has a narrow space which limits lubrication. This also causes insufficient gear lubrication and poor heat dissipation, which influences the performance and service life of the wheel reducer. Therefore, it is important to find a way for the gear lubrication effectively. In this study, using computer simulation, the influencing factors of gear lubrication of an automobile wheel reducer were explored. The effect of gear speed and the degree of oil immersion on gear lubrication were also analyzed to lubricate the gear efficiently and improve the performance of the wheel reducer.
