With such a structure, the stability and reliability of the movable tooth assembly are improved, and the compression spring is arranged between the two movable tooth connecting columns to further improve the stability of the contact and cooperation between the movable tooth assembly and the wave structure.

[0028] Preferably, the adjacent two teeth of the output spur gear form a U-shaped tooth groove with a gradually increasing opening from bottom to top along the radial direction, and correspondingly, the roller is in the shape of a cylinder and the outer surface forms an inner concave modification surface with a gradually decreasing outer diameter from both ends to the middle, which can form a planar cooperation with the U-shaped tooth groove. On the basis of the rolling engagement between the lower end of the movable tooth assembly and the tooth, the above-mentioned structure converts the cooperation between the two from the existing spatial engagement to planar engagement, completely eliminates the interference problem of engagement, and is conducive to achieving balanced output of torque and power.

[0038] The reducer of the present invention also includes an upper end cover, which is fastened to the top of the input plane impeller and locked to the top of the base. The upper end cover has an opening in the center for the power mechanism to connect with the input plane impeller.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: The present invention utilizes an input planar impeller to drive a movable tooth assembly to oscillate up and down, thereby driving an output planar gear to perform a deceleration motion. The input planar impeller is provided with a waveform structure arranged circumferentially. The lower surface of the waveform structure rolls into contact with the upper end of the movable tooth assembly. When the input planar impeller rotates, the lower surface of the waveform structure pushes the movable tooth assembly to form a continuous oscillation in the circumferential direction. The lower end of the movable tooth assembly rolls into contact with the teeth of the output planar gear, eliminating the interference problem of rigid meshing between existing teeth, improving the stability of force transmission, and achieving a balanced output of torque and power. At the same time, since the interference problem of tooth meshing is eliminated, the difficulty of tooth shaping is also reduced. Attached Figure Description

The compression spring 5 is arranged in the base body 1, so that the movable tooth assembly 4 always tends to be in contact with the wave shape structure 21.

[0055] The design of the speed reduction ratio of the speed reducer of the embodiment is based on the number of waves on the input plane wave wheel 2, that is, there are several waves designed on the input plane wave wheel 2, and the difference between the number of the movable tooth assembly 4 and the number of the teeth 31 on the output plane gear 3 is how many. In the embodiment, the number of the wave shape structure 21 is N, the number of the movable tooth assembly 4 is Z1, and the number of the teeth 31 on the output plane gear 3 is Z2, so N=(Z1-Z2), and the speed reduction ratio is Z2:(Z1-Z2).

[0056] The expanded waveform line corresponding to the waveform structure 21 of the embodiment comprises three mutually connected V-shaped wave segments, namely one convex portion 211 corresponds to one V-shaped wave segment, and the tip of the V-shaped wave segment is smoothly connected by a circular arc segment 212. With such a structure, the angle between the straight line segment of the V-shaped wave segment and the original creation plane is the fluctuation angle, and the circular arc segment 212 between the two straight line segments of the V-shaped wave segment is the transition portion, which is beneficial to improve the contact stability and reliability between the movable tooth assembly 4 and the waveform structure 21, and further eliminates the interference between the lower end of the movable tooth assembly 4 and the teeth 31.

[0058] As shown in Figure 8 , 9 The movable tooth assembly 4 of the embodiment comprises a top seat 41, a movable tooth connecting column 42, a tooth seat 43, a roller 44, and a column pin 45. The top seat 41 is arranged above the assembly block 11 and is in rolling cooperation with the lower surface of the waveform structure 21. The movable tooth connecting column 42 is arranged through the assembly hole 111 and is movable up and down, and the upper end of the movable tooth connecting column 42 is connected to the top seat 41. The upper end of the movable tooth connecting column 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top seat 41 in an interference static cooperation manner. The tooth seat 43 is connected to the lower end of the movable tooth connecting column 42, and the lower end of the movable tooth connecting column 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the tooth seat 43 in an interference static cooperation manner. The roller 44 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the tooth seat 43 and is in tooth surface rolling cooperation with the adjacent two teeth 31. The column pin 45 is used to constrain the roller 44 at the bottom of the tooth seat 43. With such a structure, the movable tooth can be in rolling engagement with the teeth 31 while maintaining a rigid structure, thereby eliminating the existing tooth-tooth engagement interference problem, improving the carrying capacity, and achieving balanced output of the torque and power of the speed reducer.

[0059] The lower end of the tooth seat 43 is provided with a first connecting arm 431 and a second connecting arm 432 which extend downward and are arranged at intervals. The first connecting arm 431 is arranged corresponding to the outer side of the tooth 31, and the second connecting arm 432 is arranged corresponding to the inner side of the tooth 31. The column pin 45 passes through the first connecting arm 431 and the second connecting arm 432 to rotatably constrain the roller 44 between the first connecting arm 431 and the second connecting arm 432. Such a structure facilitates the connection of the roller 44 to the lower end of the movable tooth to facilitate rolling cooperation with the teeth.

[0060] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 、 4 , the upper surface of the assembling block 11 is provided with a mounting groove 112 extending downward and used for accommodating the compression spring 5, the lower part of the compression spring 5 is accommodated in the mounting groove 112 and the upper end abuts against the top base 41. The above structure facilitates the installation of the compression spring 5 and makes the upper end of the oscillating tooth assembly 4 always in contact with the lower surface of the wave structure 21 through the compression spring 5. The oscillating tooth connecting column 42 in the embodiment is two, the assembling hole 111 corresponding to one oscillating tooth assembly 4 is two and is arranged along the radial direction of the assembling block 11, and the mounting groove 112 and the corresponding compression spring 5 are arranged between the two assembling holes 111. By using such structure, the stability and reliability of the oscillating tooth assembly 4 are improved, and the compression spring 5 is arranged between the two oscillating tooth connecting columns 42, which can further improve the stability of the contact and cooperation between the oscillating tooth assembly 4 and the wave structure 21.

[0061] As shown in Figure 4 、 7 , 9, the embodiment forms a U-shaped tooth groove 32 gradually increasing from the bottom to the top and penetrating along the radial direction between the adjacent two teeth 31 of the output spur gear 3, and correspondingly, the roller 44 is in the shape of a cylinder and the outer surface is formed with an inner concave modification surface 441 gradually decreasing from both ends to the middle outer diameter, which can form a planar cooperation with the U-shaped tooth groove 32. On the basis of the rolling engagement between the lower end of the oscillating tooth assembly 4 and the tooth 31, the above structure converts the cooperation between the two from the existing space engagement to planar engagement, completely eliminates the engagement interference problem, and is beneficial to the balanced output of torque and power.

[0062] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 、 4 , 10, a cylindrical roller cage 6 capable of forming rolling cooperation between the oscillating tooth assembly 4 and the wave structure 21 is arranged between the oscillating tooth assembly 4 and the wave structure 21, the bottom of the cylindrical roller cage 6 is arranged on the upper end of each oscillating tooth assembly 4 and encloses an annular track, and the top of the cylindrical roller cage 6 is in rolling cooperation with the lower surface of the wave structure 21. The above cylindrical roller cage 6 is arranged to form a stable rolling cooperation structure between the upper end of the oscillating tooth assembly 4 and the lower surface of the wave structure 21.

[0063] Specifically, as shown in Figure 10As shown, the cylindrical roller cage 6 includes connecting blocks 61, needle rollers 62, needle roller cages 63, the top seat 41 of the movable tooth assembly 4 is provided with an upwardly protruding limiting block 411, the connecting blocks 61 are arranged between the limiting blocks 411 on the top of the adjacent two movable tooth assemblies 4, and a plurality of connecting blocks 61 are arranged along an annular track to form a stepped annular track; the needle rollers 62 are arranged on the connecting blocks 61, the bottom of the needle roller 62 is in rolling cooperation with the upper surface of the connecting block 61, and the top of the needle roller 62 is in rolling cooperation with the lower surface of the wave-shaped structure 21; the needle roller cages 63 are a plurality of and arranged in sequence along the annular track on the upper surface of the connecting block 61, and the needle roller cage 63 is provided with a mounting opening 631 for mounting the needle roller 62, and the mounting opening 631 is through from top to bottom to expose the top and bottom of the needle roller 62. Since the upper ends of the adjacent two movable tooth assemblies 4 have a spacing and are not of the same height, it is difficult to form stable rolling cooperation between the movable tooth assembly 4 itself and the wave-shaped structure 21, after the cylindrical roller cage 6 with the above structure is used, the connecting block 61 is used to form a stepped annular track, and the needle roller 62 can form stable rolling cooperation between the top and the lower surface of the wave-shaped structure 21 and between the bottom and the upper surface of the connecting block 61 after being constrained by the needle roller cage 63, so that stable rolling cooperation on the ups and downs surface is realized.

[0064] The limiting block 411 has an upwardly arched arc surface structure 4111 in the circumferential section of the assembly block 11, correspondingly, the first side edge of the bottom of the connecting block 61 is recessed upward to form a first arc-shaped notch 611 matched with the arc surface structure 4111 of one movable tooth assembly 4, and the second side edge is recessed upward to form a second arc-shaped notch 612 matched with the arc surface structure 4111 of another movable tooth assembly 4. The above structure facilitates the limiting installation of the connecting block 61, and on the other hand, allows a certain movable cooperation between the connecting block 61 and the limiting block 411 to better adapt to the rolling cooperation between the upper end of the movable tooth assembly 4 and the wave-shaped structure.

[0065] The top of the connecting block 61 is provided with a first limiting edge 613 arranged corresponding to the inner edge of the needle roller cage 63 and a second limiting edge 614 arranged corresponding to the outer edge of the needle roller cage 63, and the needle roller cage 63 is constrained between the first limiting edge 613 and the second limiting edge 614. Such a structure is adopted to improve the constraint reliability of the needle roller 62.

[0066] As shown in Figs. Figure 1 , 2 , 3, 4, the speed reducer further includes an upper end cover 7, the upper end cover 7 is buckled on the top of the input plane wave wheel 2 and is connected with the top of the base body 1 through bolt locking, the central part of the upper end cover 7 is provided with an opening for connecting the power mechanism with the input plane wave wheel 2, and the input plane wave wheel 2 is rotationally connected with the inner wall of the upper end cover 7 through the third bearing assembly 300.

[0067] The embodiment utilizes the input plane wave wheel 2 to drive the up-and-down fluctuation of the movable tooth assembly 4, so as to push the output plane gear 3 to make a deceleration movement. The input plane wave wheel 2 is provided with a wave structure 21 arranged in the circumferential direction. The lower surface of the wave structure 21 is in rolling fit with the upper end of the movable tooth assembly 4. When the input plane wave wheel 2 rotates, the lower surface of the wave structure 21 pushes the movable tooth assembly 4 to make continuous fluctuation in the circumferential direction. The lower end of the movable tooth assembly 4 is in rolling engagement with the teeth 31 of the output plane gear 3, which eliminates the interference problem of the rigid engagement between the existing teeth and teeth, improves the stability of force transmission, and realizes the balanced output of torque and power. Meanwhile, as can be seen from the force transmission diagram of the movable tooth assembly 4, under the condition that the fluctuation angle is designed reasonably, a smaller force applied by the wave structure 21 on the top of the movable tooth assembly 4 can be converted into a larger vertical component force F1 to drive the movable tooth assembly 4 to fluctuate, and the force applied by the lower end of the movable tooth assembly 4 on the side wall of the tooth groove 32 in the circumferential direction is converted into F2 with very small loss, thereby effectively reducing the loss of force in the deceleration process.

[0068] In addition, since the interference problem of the tooth engagement is eliminated, the modification difficulty of the tooth is also reduced in the embodiment. The movable tooth mechanism of the embodiment is installed on the deceleration device body, and thus can bear the reverse load of the output shaft and has the self-locking function.

[0069] In order to facilitate the output power, the bottom of the output plane gear 3 of the embodiment is connected with the mounting member 8 which rotates synchronously.

[0070] In use, the decelerator of the embodiment can adopt the mounting member 8 as the power output member, or can adopt the base body 1 as the power output member. When the power is output through the mounting member 8, the base body 1 is used as a fixed member, i.e. the base body 1 is connected with the part fixed in the device to which the decelerator is applied, and the mounting member 8 constitutes the power output part of the decelerator. When the power is output through the base body 1, the mounting member 8 is used as a fixed member, i.e. the mounting member 8 is connected with the part fixed in the device to which the decelerator is applied, and the base body 1 constitutes the power output part of the decelerator.
