Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of steering gears, and in particular to an electric steering gear. Background Art

[0002] During the navigation of the ship, in order to realize the steering of the rudder, a steering gear is arranged above the rudder. As a green, energy-saving, precise and efficient marine steering device, the electric steering gear directly controls the drive motor through the reduction mechanism to adjust the rudder, eliminating the secondary conversion and transmission links of the intermediate hydraulic energy in the traditional steering mechanism, improving the transmission efficiency, and avoiding the risk of leakage of the hydraulic system; and there is no need to keep the equipment running during the steering interval, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of the equipment and the system noise. However, due to the lack of the intermediate hydraulic buffer link, when the rudder stock shakes, it may cause problems such as gear pair disengagement or meshing jamming. At the same time, if the external load is abnormal or exceeds the maximum rudder deviation command range, the steering gear will move at the limit speed and exceed the normal working stroke, causing the cylinder to hit. The impact force generated causes a certain change in the stress state of the internal structure of the electric steering gear, and the dead point of the mechanism movement is prone to occur, causing the steering gear to get stuck and unable to recover by itself, eventually leading to the failure of the steering gear.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In an electric steering gear of the present invention, after the large gear assembly is meshed with the small gear assembly, the driving assembly controls the small gear assembly to rotate, thereby driving the large gear assembly to rotate, and the rotation of the large gear assembly drives the rudder stock to rotate. By setting rollers on the upper and lower sides of the large gear assembly to limit the position in the upper and lower directions, the gear pair is prevented from disengaging due to the shaking of the rudder stock, and the reliability of the meshing of the gear pair under alternating loads is improved; by setting multiple sets of driving mechanisms, when the external load is abnormal or a certain driving mechanism is locked due to a fault, the large gear assembly is still rotating under the action of other driving mechanisms, and the driving mechanism slides in the direction away from the large gear assembly through the sliding assembly under the action of the large gear assembly, so that the large gear assembly is disengaged from the faulty small gear assembly, and the faulty unit is quickly isolated. Therefore, the present invention can prevent jamming and has a stable structure.

[0018] 2. In an electric steering gear of the present invention, the large gear ring and the wheel hub adopt a detachable connection mode, which is convenient for adjusting the types of the large gear ring and the wheel hub to adapt to different pinion shafts. The outer cylindrical surface of the roller is closely fitted with the outer track surface of the large gear ring, and the large gear ring is limited in the up and down directions. The roller and the pinion shaft are fixed by setting bearings, gaskets, and nuts, so that the meshing process of the small gear teeth and the large gear teeth is more stable, and at the same time, the center distance of the gear pair can be guaranteed to remain unchanged, avoiding the problems of the gear pair disengagement or meshing and biting, and the meshing accuracy and reliability are high. Therefore, the present invention has wide applicability, high reliability, and high precision.

[0019] 3. In an electric servo of the present invention, the inner housing can slide inside the outer housing through the combination of the outer housing and the inner housing. The screw pre-deforms the disc spring through the pre-tightening nut, so that the support head abuts against the outer housing. The small gear shaft located in the outer housing is acted upon by the disc spring, so that the roller fits tightly with the large gear teeth. When a fault occurs, the inner housing tends to slide outward, and the safety steel ball in the safety slider overcomes the pre-tightening force of the safety spring and compresses inward, so that the safety slider can completely slide into the second slide groove along the axial direction, so that the large and small gears move away from each other until they are out of mesh, so that the faulty unit can be quickly isolated. The screw is acted upon by the inner housing to extend a portion outside the outer housing. By observing the extended length of the screw, the location of the faulty unit can be quickly confirmed, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement. Therefore, the present invention has high reliability, stable structure, and convenient maintenance and replacement. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
