Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robot reducers, and particularly to an internal meshing RV reducer for precise control with good dynamic characteristics. Background Art

[0002] Robots are the pearls at the top of the manufacturing crown and an important symbol to measure a country's scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing level. The RV reducer is one of the most core components of robots and is also the only component that has not been truly domesticated.

[0003] There are two existing technologies for the lateral clearance of the cycloid gear after modification. One is patents such as CN 110966357 A, CN111059225 A, CN 110985611 A, CN 110985610 A, etc. Since their lateral clearances are set based on the calculation parameters of the theoretical thermal expansion amount, their thermal expansion coefficient αt = 1.379·10 -5 (1 / °C) comes from the data on page 95 of "Research on Thermal Expansion of Precision Parts and Precise Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Materials" (Miao Enming, Hefei University, September 2004), and is measured from the actual thermal expansion amount of the solid round bar-shaped structure bearing steel material. The actual cycloid gear structure is a porous disc-shaped structure, which is very different from the solid round bar-shaped structure of the theoretical measurement sample. According to the quasi-harmonic approximation theory in "Introduction to Solid State Physics" (Kittel C [USA], Beijing: Science Press, 1979), thermal deformation is inseparable from the shape factor. At the same time, through the comparative study of the actual measurement of the thermal expansion of the existing structure and different structure cycloid gear bearing steel materials, it is confirmed that there are significant differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of the porous disc-shaped structure bearing steel material and the solid round bar-shaped structure bearing steel material. Therefore, the implementation of the above existing patented technologies will be difficult to meet their design requirements.

[0004] The other is patents such as CN 108869644 A and CN 106641110 A, which do not make a quantitative setting for specifically defining the lateral clearance range of the cycloid gear, and only give a principle description that if the lateral clearance is too small, it will cause wear and heat generation, poor dynamic performance, shortened life, etc. during temperature rise and expansion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0036] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the embodiments of the present invention include:

[0038] An internal meshing RV reducer for precise control, which includes an internal cycloid gear ring and a two-stage reduction component disposed therein:

[0039] The first stage includes an input shaft, a sun gear and a planet gear;

[0040] The second stage includes evenly distributed eccentric shafts, cycloidal gears, bearings and planetary discs, where: The cycloidal gear includes a left cycloidal gear and a right cycloidal gear, the planetary disc includes a left planetary disc and a right planetary disc, the shaft extension end of the eccentric shaft is connected to the planetary gear, and eccentric shaft bearings for supporting the cycloidal gear are provided on two eccentric sections of the eccentric shaft. The shaft extensions on both sides of the eccentric section of the eccentric shaft are respectively supported in the peripheral holes of the left and right planetary discs by tapered roller bearings. The left and right planetary discs are respectively supported on both sides of the internal cycloid gear ring by main bearings. The input shaft is respectively supported in the central holes of the left and right planetary discs by input shaft bearings. The flange on the left planetary disc passes through the corresponding through holes of the cycloidal gear and is connected to the right planetary disc to form a rigid body; The cycloidal gear includes a left cycloidal gear and a right cycloidal gear, and adopts "equidistant - shift distance" modification. The modification forms a lateral clearance Δc and a radial clearance between the internal cycloid teeth and the cycloid tooth grooves. Among them, during the modification, "positive equidistant - positive shift distance" modification is preferably adopted first, and "negative equidistant - negative shift distance" modification can be selected secondly.

[0041] When λ1 is the theoretical radial thermal expansion amount of the cycloidal gear when the reducer does work:

[0042] The range of the lateral clearance Δc is: 0.1λ1 ≤ Δc < 0.7λ1.

[0043] The shape of the through hole on the cycloidal gear can be a quasi - sector structure, or expansion - reducing holes are opened on both sides of the through hole, and the shape of the expansion - reducing hole can be circular or polygonal or special - shaped.

[0044] According to the discovery in the theory of thermal expansion that thermal deformation is inseparable from shape factors, through the actual measurement and comparative study of the thermal expansion coefficients of bearing steel materials of cycloidal gears with different structures, it is found that there are differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of bearing steel materials of cycloidal gears with different structures. Especially, the change in the through - hole structure or the structure around the through - hole of the cycloidal gear has an impact on the thermal expansion of the cycloidal gear. Therefore, reasonably setting the structure of the cycloidal gear, especially reasonably setting the structure of the through - hole or the structure around the through - hole, to minimize the thermal expansion amount of the cycloidal gear will be most beneficial to the precision design of the reducer. Through a large number of thermal expansion ratio comparison studies of cycloidal gears with different structures, on the premise of ensuring the stiffness of the cycloidal gear, the through - hole of the cycloidal gear is set from the existing circular or fan - shaped structure to a quasi - sector shape, that is, the through - hole is expanded to both sides of the fan - shape to form a quasi - sector; or expansion - reducing holes are opened on both sides of the through - hole, and the shape of the expansion - reducing hole is a circular or polygonal or special - shaped structure.

[0045] Therefore,

[0046] (1) When λ2 is the actual radial thermal expansion amount of the cycloidal gear when the reducer does work:

[0047] The lateral clearance Δc between the internal cycloid teeth and the cycloid tooth groove on one side is Δc = (0.1 - 5)λ2;

[0048] (2) When λ is the actual lateral thermal expansion amount of the cycloidal gear when the reducer does work:

[0049] The lateral clearance Δc between the inner cycloid teeth and the cycloid tooth groove on one side is (0.1 - 5)λ.

[0050] Among them, the actual radial thermal expansion of the cycloid gear can be obtained by measuring the thermal expansion, or can be calculated after measuring the thermal expansion coefficient, that is, λ2 = (d0 Δt) αt2, and can also be calculated and deduced from the actual lateral thermal expansion; the actual lateral thermal expansion of the cycloid gear can be obtained by measuring the thermal expansion, or can be calculated after measuring the thermal expansion coefficient, that is, λ = (d0 Δt) αt, and can also be calculated and deduced from the actual radial thermal expansion; among them, αt and αt2 are the thermal expansion coefficients of the cycloid gear bearing steel, Δt is the temperature rise of the cycloid gear, and d0 is the average diameter of the addendum circle and the dedendum circle of the cycloid gear.

[0051] According to the quasi - harmonic approximation theory in "Introduction to Solid State Physics" (Charles Kittel [USA], Beijing: Science Press, 1979), the mechanism of thermal expansion is that solids are composed of tiny crystals, and crystals are formed by atoms arranged in a certain position in space. There is both potential energy and kinetic energy between atoms. When the atoms are in equilibrium, the sum of their kinetic energy and potential energy is the smallest. As the temperature rises, the kinetic energy of the atoms increases, which promotes the increase of the displacement between atoms and the rise of potential energy. Macroscopically, it is manifested as the occurrence of thermal expansion. Thermal expansion can be regarded as an object being subjected to a uniform outward expansion force. Therefore, the thermal expansion is closely related to the shape of the object.

[0052] According to the research in "Research on the Influence of Shape Parameters on the Thermal Expansion of Parts" (Miao Enming, Fei Yetai, Journal of Applied Sciences, 2003.06), it is found that thermal deformation is inseparable from shape factors; the calculation of thermal expansion coefficients usually includes simple calculation methods, statistical calculation methods, and Grüneisen formulas, etc. These methods all have certain limitations, which makes the calculated value of the thermal expansion coefficient differ greatly from the actual measured value. The currently used thermal expansion coefficient is still the actual measured value of a round bar with a certain size, which inevitably makes the measured value of the thermal expansion coefficient contain the influence of shape factors.

[0053] According to the search on page 95 of "Research on Thermal Expansion of Precision Parts and Accurate Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Materials" (Miao Enming, Hefei University, 2004.09), it is known that the thermal expansion coefficient of bearing steel αt = 1.38·10 -5 (1 / °C), which is the measured value of a bearing steel material with a solid round bar structure of a certain size.

[0054] According to the linear expansion coefficient and density table of common materials (Table 12.2-4) in "China Mechanical Design Encyclopedia (Volume 1)", the linear expansion coefficient αt table of materials (Table 1-1-12) in "Mechanical Design Handbook (Volume 1)", and the linear expansion coefficient table of common materials (Table 1-1-12) in "Modern Mechanical Design Handbook (Volume 1)", it is found that referring to the linear expansion coefficient of chromium steel at 20°C to 100°C is αt = 1.12·10 -5 , which is only 81.12% of the thermal expansion coefficient αt = 1.38·10 -5 (1 / °C) of bearing steel.

[0055] According to the national standard GB / T 36491-2018 "General Technical Conditions for Cycloidal Pinwheel Planetary Gear Transmission Devices for Robots", the maximum temperature of the reducer housing should not be greater than 60°C, and the operating environmental conditions are -10°C to 40°C. The specific value of the temperature rise of the cycloid gear can be calculated by the temperature difference between the reducer housing and the environment and the temperature difference between the housing and the cycloid gear, or it can be directly taken as 45°C. When the temperature rise of the cycloid gear is taken as 45°C, since the reducer generally operates in a room temperature environment, the corresponding thermal expansion amount of the set cycloid gear is also relatively high.

[0056] The actual structure of the cycloid gear is a porous disc structure, which is very different from the solid round bar structure of the theoretical measured sample. Therefore, the actual thermal expansion coefficient of the bearing steel material of the cycloid gear will be lower than the theoretical thermal expansion coefficient of the bearing steel material.

[0057] Using the relevant thermal expansion research theory, through the actual measurement research on the thermal expansion coefficients of the bearing steel materials of the existing structure and different structures of the cycloid gear, it is also confirmed that the actual thermal expansion coefficients of the bearing steel materials of the existing structure and different structures of the cycloid gear are lower than the theoretical thermal expansion coefficient of the bearing steel material.

[0058] In summary, the theoretical thermal expansion amount, its thermal expansion coefficient, and temperature rise of the cycloid gear are all greater than the actual thermal expansion amount, thermal expansion coefficient, and temperature rise. To obtain the correct lateral clearance, various existing means can be used to measure the actual thermal expansion amount, or the data of the thermal expansion coefficient and temperature rise of the cycloid gear, and adjust it by multiplying the thermal expansion amount by a certain coefficient, so as to obtain the parameters of the actual required lateral clearance Δc.

[0059] Although the amount of thermal expansion, coefficient of thermal expansion, temperature, and the coefficient multiplied are different from those of this patent for those of ordinary skill in the art, as long as the final value of the lateral clearance Δc falls within the claims of this patent, it is still included within the scope of this patent protection. Similarly, since the range of the actual lateral thermal expansion amount has been set in this patent, if the theoretical lateral thermal expansion amount derived from the theoretical radial thermal expansion amount has no practicality and is covered by the practicality of the actual lateral thermal expansion amount, and the theoretical lateral thermal expansion amount can be directly derived from the theoretical radial thermal expansion amount, the value of the theoretical lateral thermal expansion amount is included within the patent protection scope of this invention.

[0060] In some of the prior arts, due to reasons such as the relatively large values of the theoretical coefficient of thermal expansion, temperature rise, and adjustment coefficient adopted, the value of the lateral clearance Δc is too large, resulting in poor precision.

[0061] In some of the prior arts, due to the too small value of the lateral clearance Δc, the cycloid gear and the internal cycloid gear ring are in interference friction, inevitably resulting in poor dynamic performance. To further illustrate this problem, take the RV reducer national 863 project jointly tackled by a famous expert from Dalian Jiaotong University and CRRC Qishuyan Institute Co., Ltd. as an example. The parameters publicly published in September 2017 are as follows: Rz = 77, e = 1.50, Za = 39, K1 = 0.7792, Δrz = -0.027, ΔRz = -0.047, backlash = 0.29'.

[0062] When the backlash = 0.29' remains unchanged, through calculation, it is known that:

[0063] The lateral clearance ΔC = 0.003 (mm).

[0064] The theoretical radial thermal expansion amount of the cycloid gear λ1=(d0Δt) αt = 0.00062 d0 (mm) = 0.09548 (mm). When the temperature rise Δt = 45°C, in the formula: the coefficient of thermal expansion of bearing steel GCr15 αt = 1.38·10 -5 (1 / °C), d0 is the average diameter of the addendum circle and the dedendum circle of the cycloid gear.

[0065] Furthermore, through calculation, it is obtained that the actual radial thermal expansion amount λ2 of the cycloid gear is less than the theoretical radial thermal expansion amount λ1, that is, λ2 < λ1.

[0066] Furthermore, through calculation, it is obtained that the actual radial thermal expansion amount λ2 of the cycloid gear is less than the actual lateral thermal expansion amount λ, that is, λ2 < λ, where λ is the actual lateral thermal expansion amount of the cycloid gear when the reducer does work under the rated torque.

[0067] At the same time, it is obtained that the actual lateral thermal expansion amount λ of the cycloid gear is less than the theoretical radial thermal expansion amount λ1, that is, λ < λ1.

[0068] Therefore, it is concluded that the lateral clearance ΔC is less than the set 0.1λ2, less than the set 0.1λ, less than the set 0.1λ1, less than the actual radial thermal expansion λ2, less than the actual lateral thermal expansion λ, and less than the theoretical radial thermal expansion λ1, that is, ΔC < 0.1λ2 < 0.1λ < 0.1λ1 < λ2 < λ < λ1.

[0069] It can be seen from this that the lateral clearance ΔC of this project is less than the actual lateral thermal expansion λ, that is, ΔC < λ, and it does not meet Δc = (0.1 - 5)λ, does not meet 0.1λ1 ≤ Δc < 0.7λ1, and does not meet Δc = (0.1 - 5)λ2. Therefore, there must be interference fit friction between the cycloid gear and the internal cycloid gear ring, and problems such as heat generation, wear, and accuracy decline in dynamic performance will inevitably occur.

[0070] The usage effects of the reducer at different lateral clearances are shown in the following table.

[0071]

[0072] As can be seen from the above table:

[0073] Performance 1: When the lateral clearance Δc meets 0.1λ1 ≤ Δc < 0.7λ1, it meets the standard;

[0074] Performance 2: When the lateral clearance Δc = (0.1 - 5)λ2, it meets the standard;

[0075] Performance 3: When the lateral clearance Δc = (0.7 - 5)λ1 and Δc < 0.1λ1, Δc > 5λ1, it does not meet the standard;

[0076] Performance 4: When the lateral clearance Δc < 0.1λ2 and Δc > 5λ2, it does not meet the standard;

[0077] Performance 5: Under the condition of meeting the standard, the temperature rise is lower than 45°C.

[0078] Therefore, in summary, the above table can more intuitively show the technical effects achieved by the improvement points of this application from the perspective of actual detection, that is:

[0079] (1) When the theoretical radial thermal expansion λ1 is adopted, the lateral clearance needs to meet 0.1λ1 ≤ Δc < 0.7λ1 to effectively reduce the heat generation caused by wear. At the same time, the accuracy of the reducer can be maintained at a relatively high level;

[0080] (2) When the actually measured radial thermal expansion λ2 is obtained, since the actually measured radial thermal expansion is generally less than the theoretical radial thermal expansion, the lateral clearance only needs to meet Δc = (0.1 - 5)λ2 to meet the requirements of reducing the temperature rise, reducing wear, extending the service life, and maintaining high precision.

[0081] (3) When the measured lateral thermal expansion λ is obtained, since the measured lateral thermal expansion is generally smaller than the theoretical radial thermal expansion, the lateral clearance can meet the requirements of reducing temperature rise, reducing wear, extending service life, and maintaining high precision only when Δc = (0.1 - 5)λ.

[0082] Similarly, through theoretical calculation and actual measurement research on the thermal expansion coefficients of cycloid gears with different structures, it is deduced that the lateral clearance Δc between the internal cycloid teeth and the cycloid tooth groove on one side must satisfy the formula 0.1λ1 ≤ Δc < 0.7λ1, and through actual sample operation tests, it conforms to the theoretical calculation and actual measurement results.

[0083] Further, the shape of the through-hole is a quasi-sector structure, or expansion-reducing holes are opened on both sides of the through-hole, and the shape of the expansion-reducing holes is a circular or polygonal or special-shaped structure. Corresponding to various RV reducer models, the lateral clearance Δc between the internal cycloid teeth and the cycloid tooth groove on one side is (0.2 - 0.6)λ1.

[0095] An internal meshing RV reducer for precise control, the structure of which includes an internal cycloid gear ring 1 and two-stage reduction components disposed therein: the first-stage reduction component includes an input shaft 9, a sun gear 14 and planet gears 4; the second-stage reduction component includes 2 to 3 eccentric shafts 6 evenly distributed, cycloid gears and planet disks. The cycloid gears include a left cycloid gear 3 and a right cycloid gear 5. The planet disks include a left planet disk 13 and a right planet disk 12. The shaft extension end of the eccentric shaft 6 is connected to the planet gear 14. Eccentric shaft bearings 8 for supporting the cycloid gears are provided on two eccentric segments of the eccentric shaft 6. The two shaft extensions on both sides of the eccentric segment of the eccentric shaft are respectively supported in the peripheral holes of the left planet disk 13 and the right planet disk 12 by tapered roller bearings 7. The left planet disk 13 and the right planet disk 12 are respectively supported in the inner holes on both sides of the internal cycloid gear ring 1 by main bearings 2. The input shaft 9 is respectively supported in the central holes of the left planet disk 13 and the right planet disk 12 by input shaft bearings 10. The evenly distributed flanges 11 on the left planet disk 13 pass through the corresponding 3 through holes 15 of the cycloid gears and are connected to the right planet disk 12 by screws and positioning pins to form a rigid body. The shape of the 3 through holes 15 is a quasi-sector structure. The cycloid gears adopt "equidistant - shift" modification, and the modification forms a lateral clearance Δc and a radial clearance between the internal cycloid teeth and the tooth grooves of the cycloid gears. The lateral clearance Δc on one side between the internal cycloid teeth and the tooth grooves of the cycloid gears = λ, where: λ is the actual lateral thermal expansion amount of the cycloid gear when the reducer does work under the rated torque.

[0096] At the same time, the size of the lateral clearance Δc is related to factors such as the machining accuracy of the adjacent pitch of the internal cycloid gear ring, the machining accuracy of the diameter of the internal cycloid gear ring, the tooth pitch deviation of the cycloid gear and the deviation generated by assembly, and is related to the size of the RV reducer model. If the lateral clearance Δc is too small, interference friction will occur. If it is too large, vibration is likely to occur when the input speed is on the high side.

[0097] It can be known from this that the lateral clearance Δc in this embodiment is equal to the actual lateral thermal expansion amount, that is, Δc = λ, achieving good gear meshing and avoiding interference friction; at the same time, it also greatly reduces the requirements for machining accuracy, thereby greatly reducing the investment, production and management costs of enterprises.

[0098] The internal meshing RV reducer for precise control provided by the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0099] (1) The lateral clearance Δc generated by the "equidistant - shift" modification adopted by the present invention is closely related to the thermal expansion amount of the cycloid gear, so it has good dynamic characteristics and does not overheat when operating and doing work under the rated load.

[0100] (2) The present invention uses conventional manufacturing accuracy, has a simple process and low cost.

[0101] (3) The external dimensions of the present invention are the same as those of common RV reducers and can be interchanged with them.

[0102] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and thus do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the content of the specification of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall similarly be included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
