Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gear transmission technology, and in particular to an eccentric gear chamber structure, a gear system, and an engine. Background Technology
[0002] Gear transmission refers to a device that transmits motion and power through a pair of gears. Specifically, a pair of gears with the same module mesh to transmit power from shaft A to shaft B, thus completing the power transmission. It is one of the most widely used mechanical transmission methods in modern equipment. Power is generally output through gear transmission, and the gears are related to the functional interface.
[0003] In existing design schemes, when the functional interface has insufficient or excessive capabilities, the speed ratio of the gear transmission pair is generally adjusted. However, changes in the speed ratio will cause changes in the center distance of the gear pair. In this case, if the speed ratio needs to be changed, the traditional design scheme requires a complete redesign of the gear system. This necessitates redesigning the gear chamber and gear chamber cover, redeveloping the mold, extending the product cycle, and increasing the investment costs. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The technical solutions in typical embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an eccentric gear chamber structure, including:
[0031] The outer casing of the power unit 9 has a circular chamber 10;
[0032] The transmission gear 1 is used to mesh with other gears 1 of the power unit and to output power through the gear shaft 2. The gear shaft 2 is eccentrically located in the circular cavity 10. The transmission gear 1 and the gear shaft 2 are detachably connected.
[0033] The end cover 7 rotates with the outer shell 9 of the power unit and can be positioned at a set angle. The gear shaft 2 rotates with the end cover 7 and revolves around the central axis of the circular chamber 10.
[0034] It should be noted that the output end of gear shaft 2 is connected to a hydraulic pump, etc.
[0035] The transmission gear 1, gear shaft 2, and circular chamber 10 form an eccentric structure, which modularly integrates the functional requirements of gear transmission and hydraulic pump, solves interface conversion problems, and allows adjustment of the center distance of the gear pair through the eccentric structure, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing or decreasing the gear ratio. This improves the versatility of the gear structure and interface function; the interface angle, eccentricity, and eccentric position can be adjusted according to the requirements of speed ratio changes, solving the problem of redesigning the gear transmission system due to speed ratio variations.
[0036] It can be applied to different machine models, different structural positions, or different functional interfaces. The modular structure can be reused as a whole simply by changing the eccentricity of the eccentric gear chamber structure.
[0037] Multiple components can be integrated into an eccentric gear chamber structure, which effectively reduces the difficulty of design and development, makes better use of limited space, and makes it more compact in the power unit (such as an engine), with higher space utilization. The eccentricity of the eccentric structure can be used to adjust the center distance of the gear pair.
[0038] The end cap 7 rotates and engages with the outer casing 9 of the power unit and can be positioned at a set angle.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the end cover 7 is provided with a positioning stop 4, which has a first annular mating surface 14 and a second annular mating surface 15. The power body shell 9 has a third annular mating surface that mates with the first annular mating surface 14 and a fourth annular mating surface that mates with the second annular mating surface 15.
[0040] In essence, the cross-section of the positioning stop 4 is a right-angled notch. In order to achieve limiting and rotation, the power unit housing 9 is provided with a right-angled cross-section that cooperates with the positioning stop 4. This not only achieves the stopping and limiting, but also enables the relative rotation of the eccentric gear chamber and the power unit housing 9 through the fixed position of the screw hole of the power unit housing 9.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the positioning stop 4 and the power unit housing 9 are provided with a sealing structure. The sealing structure is an O-ring seal.
[0042] A plurality of holes 12 are evenly spaced on the circumference of the end cover 7 (the circumferential direction of the assembly surface). The power unit housing 9 is provided with positioning holes that mate with different holes 12, and the holes 12 are bolted to the positioning holes. In this embodiment, for example... Figure 4 As shown, three holes are provided for hole 12, and three positioning holes are also provided for the outer shell 9 of the power unit.
[0043] When the center distance needs to be adjusted, rotate the end cap 7 so that the hole 12 mates with the positioning hole for positioning. In some other embodiments, the number of holes 12 and positioning holes does not necessarily have to be the same, nor is it limited to the three in this embodiment.
[0044] By calculating the change in the transmission ratio of the entire gear transmission system, the change in the center distance of the gear pair is determined. Based on the change in the center distance, the eccentricity and eccentric position of the gear shaft 2 are determined. The center distance requirement of the gear pair is met by rotating and positioning the end cover 7.
[0045] The input end of the gear shaft 2 is provided with a fastening bolt 3 that mates with its internal thread. The transmission gear 1 is installed on the gear shaft 2 by fastening bolt 3, which can realize the detachable connection between the transmission gear 1 and the gear shaft 2. After the center distance is adjusted, the gear with the corresponding parameters can be replaced.
[0046] The external gear tooth profile parameters of the gear transmission can be designed and adjusted according to the parameters of different gear trains. It is highly interchangeable, and different external gear parameters can be matched and adjusted with this structure.
[0047] The output end of gear shaft 2 is provided with an internal spline 13. The internal spline 13 adopts the SAE standard spline matched with the hydraulic pump, which improves the market versatility and interchangeability.
[0048] The gear shaft 2 and end cover 7 are fitted together by bearings 5, and the gear shaft rotates on its own axis via bearings 5. Specifically, after assembly, the gear structure is fastened to the eccentric gear chamber structure by a pair of bearings 5. Two parallel bearings 5 are provided at the support end of the gear shaft 2 to increase the reliability of the support and improve the bearing's radial force bearing capacity. The inner diameter of the gear shaft 2 and bearing 5 are fitted together, and the outer diameter of the bearing 5 is fitted together with the internal structure of the end cover 7. The internal structure of the end cover 7 provides a fixed support function.
[0049] To ensure that the axial movement is limited on the outside by circlip 6 installed through the circlip groove.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] This embodiment provides a gear system including multiple shafts located on multiple axes that are different from each other and multiple gears arranged on the multiple shafts respectively. At least one of the multiple gears is an internal gear, wherein the gear at the end of the power transmission is configured with an eccentric gear chamber structure as in Embodiment 1.
[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, a gear train including the eccentric gear chamber structure of Embodiment 1 is illustrated, including two meshing gears 11 and a transmission gear 1 meshing with the gears 11.
[0053] Example 3
[0054] This embodiment provides an engine that uses a gear system as shown in Embodiment 2.
