Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of airborne equipment for aircraft, and in particular to a deceleration mechanism and a rotary electric servo motor. Background Technology

[0002] In rotary electric steering gears, due to the high speed of the drive motor, the matching reducer needs to have a large reduction ratio to meet the operational requirements. Planetary gear transmissions with small tooth difference have become one of the preferred solutions in this field due to their compact structure and large transmission ratio.

[0003] In the prior art, the intelligent drive device disclosed in Chinese patent CN103410918B uses a two-stage internal meshing gear pair with a small tooth difference to form an NN-type reduction transmission, which does not require an output mechanism and has a simple structure; however, this transmission uses an involute tooth profile, which has the problem of a small number of teeth working at the same time, resulting in weak load-bearing capacity and poor transmission smoothness.

[0004] Compared to involute gear profiles, cycloidal pinwheel drives with fewer tooth differences offer the advantage of a larger number of teeth meshing simultaneously, resulting in higher load-bearing capacity and better transmission smoothness. Based on this principle, cycloidal pinwheel reducers are widely used. However, because the external gear in a cycloidal pinwheel drive uses a pinwheel structure, it is difficult to achieve a two-stage, low-tooth-difference NN-type planetary transmission. Conventional cycloidal pinwheel drives are mostly single-stage low-tooth-difference planetary gear transmission mechanisms, requiring a pin mechanism to transmit the low-speed rotation of the planetary gears to the output component, making the structure relatively complex.

[0005] To achieve two-stage cycloidal transmission, Korean Patent 10-2-15-001204 replaces the pinwheel in the cycloidal pinwheel transmission with a cycloidal wheel, and uses two planetary gear transmission mechanisms with small tooth difference meshing between the inner and outer cycloidal wheels to form an NN-type transmission reduction device. However, this solution requires the machining of four cycloidal gears, which is more difficult to machine and more expensive to manufacture compared to the pinwheel structure of the cycloidal transmission. For example, Chinese Patent CN108869641B proposes a two-stage cycloidal transmission reducer, which uses two sets of cycloidal pinwheel transmissions and eliminates the output mechanism on the planetary gears, but there is a problem that the two pinwheels are of different sizes, and the structure is still relatively complex.

[0006] In summary, existing reducers for rotary electric servos still have room for improvement in terms of balancing large reduction ratios, compact structures, high load-bearing capacity, and smooth transmission. There is an urgent need for a transmission solution with a simpler structure, lower manufacturing difficulty, and better performance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a speed reduction mechanism, comprising a pin pin gear, a cycloidal gear ring, and an output shaft. The cycloidal gear ring is an internal cycloidal gear, and an external cycloidal gear is mounted on the output shaft. A planetary bearing is fitted between the pin pin gear and the output shaft. The planetary bearing supports the rotation of the pin pin gear relative to the output shaft during eccentric motion, reducing frictional losses in meshing transmission. The tooth profiles of the pin pin gear and the internal cycloidal gear are conjugate to form a small-tooth-difference internal meshing gear pair; the tooth profiles of the pin pin gear and the external cycloidal gear are conjugate to form a small-tooth-difference internal meshing gear pair. Power and motion transmission are achieved through the conjugate motion between the tooth profiles. This system achieves first-stage reduction through the meshing of a pin pin gear and a cycloidal gear ring with a small tooth difference. Simultaneously, it completes motion reversal and power output through meshing with the output shaft. The synergistic effect of these two meshing stages allows for a large reduction ratio within a compact space, meeting the low-speed, high-torque requirements of electric servos. The simultaneous multi-tooth meshing characteristics of the cycloidal gear profile and the pin pin enhance load-bearing capacity and transmission smoothness, reducing impact vibration. The integrated meshing structure eliminates the need for additional output mechanisms (such as pins, cranks, etc.), simplifying the overall reducer layout, reducing the number of parts and machining complexity. Furthermore, through the matching design of tooth pattern parameters, it can flexibly adapt to different transmission ratio requirements, making it suitable for power transmission scenarios in various rotary electric servos. Alternatively, an NN-type planetary gear transmission with a small tooth difference is constructed using the internal meshing of two-stage cycloidal pin gear profiles. This retains the high load-bearing capacity and smoothness of the multi-tooth meshing of the cycloidal gear profile while achieving a larger reduction ratio through the superposition of the two-stage internal meshing, and simplifies the intermediate output mechanism required by traditional two-stage transmissions.

[0048] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. However, these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Any similar structures and similar variations of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. The commas in the present invention all indicate the relationship between and. The English letters in the present invention are case-sensitive.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] like Figures 1-2As shown, this embodiment provides a reduction mechanism, including a pin pin gear 1, a cycloidal gear ring 2, and an output shaft 3. The cycloidal gear ring 2 is an internal cycloidal gear 21, and the output shaft 3 is provided with an external cycloidal gear 30. A planetary bearing 74 is sleeved between the pin pin gear 1 and the output shaft 3. The planetary bearing 74 is used to support the rotation of the pin pin gear 1 relative to the output shaft 3 during eccentric motion, reducing frictional losses in meshing transmission. The tooth profile of the pin pin gear 1 is conjugate with the tooth profile of the internal cycloidal gear 21 to form a small tooth difference internal meshing gear pair; the tooth profile of the pin pin gear 1 is conjugate with the tooth profile of the external cycloidal gear 30 to form a small tooth difference internal meshing gear pair. The speed reduction is achieved through the conjugate motion between the tooth profiles. The transmission of force and motion utilizes the low-tooth-difference meshing of pin gears and cycloidal gear rings to achieve first-stage reduction. Simultaneously, meshing with the output shaft completes motion reversal and power output. The synergistic effect of these two stages of meshing allows for a large reduction ratio within a compact space, meeting the low-speed, high-torque requirements of electric servos. The simultaneous multi-tooth meshing characteristics of the cycloidal gear profile and pins enhance load-bearing capacity and transmission smoothness, reducing impact vibration. The integrated meshing structure eliminates the need for additional output mechanisms (such as pins, cranks, etc.), simplifying the overall reducer layout, reducing the number of parts and machining complexity. Furthermore, through matching tooth pattern parameters, it can flexibly adapt to different transmission ratio requirements, making it suitable for power transmission scenarios in various rotary electric servos. The NN-type low-tooth-difference planetary gear transmission, consisting of two stages of cycloidal pin gear internal meshing, retains the high load-bearing capacity and smoothness of the multi-tooth meshing of the cycloidal gear profile while achieving a larger reduction ratio through the superposition of the two stages of internal meshing, while simplifying the intermediate output mechanism required by traditional two-stage transmissions.

A hollow frustum 113 is provided on one end face of the pin seat body 111, and the hollow frustum 113 and the pin seat body 111 are concentric circles, with their centers coinciding and their axes collinear. The outer edge of the hollow frustum 113 is adjacent to the first protrusion. The hollow frustum 113 is in contact with the pin holder body 111, and its inner diameter is smaller than that of the pin holder body 111. The pin holder body 111, the first boss 112, and the hollow frustum 113 are integrally formed. Pin holes 114 are evenly distributed at the connection between the first boss 112 and the pin holder body 111. The pin holes 114 penetrate to the outer edge of the hollow frustum 113, forming a circumferentially distributed hole structure that simultaneously penetrates the edges of the first boss 112 and the hollow frustum 113. The pin 12 is placed in the pin hole 114. All pin holes 114 are the same size, and the center of all pin holes 114 is located on a distributed circumference, the center of which coincides with the center of the inner hole of the pin holder body. The diameter of this distributed circumference is larger than the inner diameter of the pin holder body. A pin 12 is inserted into each pin hole 114, forming a pin-gear structure. Preferably, the first boss 112 is provided with first connecting holes 1121 evenly distributed for connection and fixation with the pin cap 4.

[0055] like Figure 8 As shown, the output shaft 3 has a hollow structure and includes a first journal 31, a boss 32, and a second journal 33. The boss 32 is located between the first journal 31 and the second journal 33. The cycloidal gear 30 is located on the boss 32. The outer ring of the second journal 33 has a second annular groove 331 for installing a shaft retaining ring to fix the output shaft bearing. The inner center of the first journal 31 and the inner center of the second journal 33 are eccentrically positioned. The first journal 31 is an eccentric section connected to a pin gear. By rotating, the pin gear is driven to oscillate eccentrically, thereby achieving alternating meshing transmission with the cycloidal gear ring and the output shaft.

[0056] The end face of the second journal 33 is provided with a connecting hole for connecting the flange of the external output component.

The cycloidal gear ring 2 is sleeved on the outer ring of the pin gear 1, and the tooth profile of the cycloidal gear ring 2 meshes with the pin end away from the hollow frustum 113.

[0058] like Figure 9 As shown, a pin cap 4 is fitted around one end of the pin near the hollow frustum. The pin cap 4 is hollow and fits against the fourth plane of the pin and the first boss 112, thereby fixing the axial position of the pin.

The meshing center distance between the cycloidal gear ring 2 and the pin gear 1 is equal to the eccentricity between the first motor journal and the second motor journal.

[0063] like Figure 14 As shown, when the motor shaft 8 of the servo motor rotates, it drives the pin gear on the pin seat to rotate through the eccentric shaft diameter on the motor shaft 8.

The second motor journal 82 has a countersunk hole 821, and a sliding bearing 820 is installed within the countersunk hole 821.

[0070] The second motor journal 82 is provided with a sixth annular groove 822, and a shaft retaining ring is provided in the sixth annular groove 822. The second motor journal 82 of the motor shaft 8 is sleeved on the outer ring of the first journal 31 of the output shaft in the reduction mechanism, and the inner ring of the pin gear 1 provided in the reduction mechanism. A sliding bearing 820 is provided between the second motor journal 82 and the first journal 31 of the output shaft. The first journal 31 and the inner ring of the sliding bearing 820 are clearance-fitted. The sliding bearing supports the output shaft. Using the sliding bearing 820 as the front support has a simple structure, strong load-bearing capacity, and rigid support. The sliding bearing 820 is made of tin bronze to reduce friction. An output shaft bearing 332 and an output shaft seal 333 are provided between the second journal 33 of the output shaft 3 and the reduction cover 5. The outer ring of the output shaft bearing 332 is supported in the center hole of the reduction cover 5. The axis of the output shaft 3 coincides with the axis of the motor shaft 8, allowing the output shaft 3 to rotate relative to the servo housing 6. The output shaft 3 is connected to the reduction cover 5 via the output shaft bearing 332 to achieve stable rotation (e.g., deep groove ball bearing or cylindrical roller bearing), bearing radial force and part of the axial force, avoiding wobbling due to eccentric rotation, and ensuring smooth transmission.

[0071] Two planetary bearings 74 are provided between the second motor journal 82 and the pin gear 1 or between the pin gear 1 and the first journal 31. The planetary bearings 74 are deep groove ball bearings. The two planetary bearings 74 are mounted side by side on the second motor journal 82 and are located on both sides of the sixth annular groove 822.

[0072] The motor shaft 8 is also fitted with a motor rotor 73, and a motor bearing 72 is provided on each side of the motor rotor 73. The motor stator 71 is fixed inside the servo housing 6.

[0073] Since both the motor shaft 8 and the output shaft 3 are hollow structures, the power of the output shaft 3 can be transmitted to the front of the servo motor through an additional drive shaft to achieve dual-axis output; it can also drive the position sensor installed at the front of the servo motor through the drive shaft to achieve precise measurement of the output shaft movement.

[0074] The rotary electric servo of this invention adopts an integrated structure of motor, controller and reducer. The reduction transmission adopts NN-type planetary gear transmission with small tooth difference formed by the internal meshing of cycloidal pinwheel teeth, which has a large reduction ratio, high load capacity and smooth operation. The specially structured pin gear can participate in two stages of internal meshing transmission at the same time, simplifying the mechanical structure of the servo and reducing manufacturing costs. The output shaft uses a sliding bearing as the front support, which has a simple structure, strong load capacity and high support rigidity. The rotary electric actuator has a hollow structure, which can realize the precise measurement of dual-end power output or output shaft movement. The internal space of the servo controller box is connected to the internal space of the servo housing, which facilitates the arrangement of motor control cable.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of this application.
