OIL BATH Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F16H57/04 

FIELD: machine engineering.

SUBSTANCE: oil bath contains a body (1) with a liquid lubricant, part of the volume, which is unnecessary for lubricating the gear, is replaced by an insert (5) of foreign solid material inert to this lubricant and rigidly fixed in the bath body to provide required gaps between it and the transmission elements. The insert is located in the bath body of with thererof abutmentto the bottom and bath body walls and with a gap between the insert and the wheel circumference and the insert and the wheel ends. The vertical isert surfaces facing the surfaces of the immersed gear portion are equidistant to the corresponding surfaces of the wheel and form a volume sufficient to accommodate the amount of lubricant sufficient to ensure a normal lubrication of the transmission. The upper insert surfaces are beveled downward into the oil bath.

EFFECT: invention optimizes the lubricant consumption.
