[0002] The change of the pitch angle of the radar system is usually achieved through a large gear and a driving mechanism. Most traditional pitch driving mechanisms adopt fixed-axis rotation.

For large-caliber, heavy-load radars, the diameter of the pitch gear is very large, and a multi-section assembly method is generally adopted. Due to manufacturing and installation errors, there are large end jumps and radial jumps. At the same time, due to factors such as wind load and temperature, there are structural deformations during the rotation of the large gear. It is difficult to ensure the reliability and stability of the transmission by adopting the traditional fixed-axis rotation method, which seriously affects the life of the radar.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the large radar dual-drive multi-flexible transmission device includes a first drive mechanism 1, a second drive mechanism 2, a mounting assembly 3, and a large gear 4. One end of the first drive mechanism 1 and the second drive mechanism 2 are rotatably connected to the mounting assembly 3, while the other ends of the first drive mechanism 1 and the second drive mechanism 2 are flexibly connected to the mounting assembly 3. Both the first drive mechanism 1 and the second drive mechanism 2 are meshed with the large gear 4.

[0037] The structures of the first driving mechanism 1 and the second driving mechanism 2 are basically the same. This embodiment is described by taking the first driving mechanism 1 as an example.

[0038] The first driving mechanism 1 includes a driving portion 11, a crown gear shaft 12, a pinion 13, an internal gear 14, a gear box 15, a ball bearing 16, a roller 17, and a spherical roller bearing 18;

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the drive unit 11 includes a motor 111 and a reducer 112. The motor 111 and the reducer 112 are directly connected. The reducer 112 is installed on the gear box 15. The two ends of the drum gear shaft 12 are rotatably connected to the gear box 15 through spherical roller bearings 18. The drum gear shaft 12 can rotate around its own axis in the gear box 15. The shaft end of the drum gear shaft 12 is directly connected to the reducer 112 through a spline shaft. That is, the operation of the motor 111 drives the reducer 112 to rotate, thereby driving the drum gear shaft 12 to rotate. The outer side of the middle part of the drum gear shaft 12 has external teeth, and the vertical cross-section of this part can be seen to be arc-shaped.

[0040] The internal gear 14 is a cylindrical structure with internal teeth on its inner side. The internal teeth can engage with the middle outer gear box of the drum-shaped gear shaft 12. The outer side of the internal gear 14 is interference fit connected with the inner side of the pinion 13. The width of the internal gear 14 is slightly smaller than the width of the toothed part of the drum-shaped gear shaft 12.

[0041] The gearbox 15 is open at both the top and bottom, and its left and right ends are connected to the mounting assembly 3. Specifically, the right end of the gearbox 15 is connected to the middle of the mounting assembly 3 via a first pin 5, and the left end of the gearbox 15 is connected to both ends of the mounting assembly 3 via pins. The middle of the mounting assembly 3 is height-adjustable, and both ends of the mounting assembly 3 are elastically supported.

[0042] The ball bearings 16 are located on both sides of the internal gear 14. The inner ring of the ball bearing 16 is connected to both sides of the toothed portion of the drum gear shaft 12. The outer ring of the ball bearing 16 is fixed to the inner ring of the pinion 13 through a sleeve. The sphericity of the ball bearing 16 is at the symmetrical center point of the internal gear 14. The pinion 13 can rotate around the symmetrical center point of the internal gear 14 along the spherical surface of the ball bearing 16. The rotation angle is specifically calculated and determined based on the relevant parameters of the drum gear and the width of the internal gear 14. The allowable rotation angle in this embodiment is 2°, that is, the pinion 13 can rotate within a cone range with the center of the ball bearing 16 and an angle of 2.

[0043] Roller 17 is a disc with a hole in the center. Its radius is larger than that of pinion 13. Roller 17 is located on either side of pinion 13 and is fixed to pinion 13 with bolts or screws. Roller 17 rotates with pinion 13. Roller 17 is tangential to the outer edges of tracks 41 on either side of the toothed portion of gear 4. During rotation, roller 17 maintains contact with outer edges of tracks 41 of gear 4, ensuring consistent meshing between gear 4 and pinion 13.

[0044] The upper portion of the small gear 13 extends out of the gear box 15 and meshes with the large gear 4 .

[0045] When this embodiment works, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, motor 111 drives drum gear shaft 12 through speed reduction gear 112, which in turn drives the drum gear shaft 12. The drum gear portion of drum gear shaft 12 meshes with internal gear 14 fixed to pinion 13, thereby driving the rotation of pinion 13. The meshing between large gear 4 and pinion 13 also drives the rotation of large gear 4. During rotation, roller 17 maintains contact with the outer edge track 41 of large gear 4. The dual-drive structure formed by first drive mechanism 1 and second drive mechanism 2 improves driving force and provides two supports, enhancing support stability. Furthermore, first drive mechanism 1 and second drive mechanism 2 can rotate and flexibly connect to mounting assembly 3. Meanwhile, the inner ring of pinion 13 can spherically rotate about the symmetrical center point of drum gear shaft 12, connecting to drum gear shaft 12. This allows spherical adjustment of large gear 4 and pinion 13 within a certain range, creating adaptive support and flexible adjustment of installation and manufacturing errors. This ensures optimal meshing between large gear 4 and pinion 13 at the final transmission stage, thereby improving the stability and reliability of large, heavy-load radar elevation systems.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment 1, the mounting assembly 3 includes a mounting platform 31, a mounting frame 32, a spring push rod 33, and an adjusting screw 34;

[0048] The bottom of the mounting frame 32 can be height-adjusted and connected to the middle of the mounting platform 31. The spring push rod 33 connects the two ends of the mounting platform 31. The right end of the first driving mechanism 1 and the left end of the second driving structure 2 are rotatably connected to the top of the mounting frame 32 through the first pin shaft 5. The left end of the first driving mechanism 1 and the right end of the second driving mechanism 2 are rotatably connected to the top of the spring push rod 33 through the pin shaft.

[0049] The mounting platform 31 is a rectangular plate. The bottom of the mounting frame 32 is connected to the mounting platform 31 via a plurality of adjustment screws 34. By adjusting the degree of tightening of the adjustment screws 34, the distance between the bottom of the mounting frame 32 and the mounting platform 31 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the mounting frame 32. By adjusting the adjustment screws 34, the fixed height of the mounting frame 32 is changed, thereby changing the thrust of the spring push rod 33 and the meshing state of the final transmission gear.

[0050] Four spring push rods 33 are connected to the four corners of the mounting platform 31. The two spring push rods 33 on the left are connected to the gearbox 15 of the first drive mechanism 1, and the two spring push rods 33 on the right are connected to the gearbox 15 of the second drive mechanism 2. The thrust of the four spring push rods 33 forces the roller 17 to abut against the outer edge track 41 of the large gear 4. The spring push rods 33 provide the thrust for the first and second drive mechanisms to rotate about the pins.

[0051] The meshing state of the final transmission gear can be finely adjusted by adjusting the installation height of the mounting bracket and the flexible support of the spring push rod 33, which effectively solves the problem of insufficient suspension thrust and difficulty in correction due to long-term operation of the device, and is easy to operate.

[0052] The device has a simple and compact structural design and is easy to disassemble and maintain, and can be widely used in radar and other heavy machinery transmission fields.

[0053] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
