[0026] Example
[0027] Please see Figures 1-7 In this embodiment of the invention, a precision composite reducer for a cover opening machine includes a housing 1, an upper housing 2, and a control chamber cover 4. The housing 1 is divided into three chambers: a power chamber 6, a reduction chamber 8, and a control chamber 19. The power chamber 6, the reduction chamber 8, and the control chamber 19 are respectively used to install a power module, a reduction module, and a control module. The power module includes a motor body 5, a motor shaft 7, and a power chamber end cover 3. The reduction module includes a first-stage parallel gear transmission, a second-stage worm gear transmission, a third-stage parallel gear transmission, and a fourth-stage planetary gear transmission. The control module includes a feedback gear system, a mounting plate 33, a ball screw 34, a position sensor 35, an adjusting screw 36, a micro switch mounting base 37, and a micro switch 38.
[0028] The motor body 5 is located inside the power chamber 6. Both ends of the motor shaft 7 extend out of the motor body 5. The power chamber end cover 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 by hexagon socket head cap screws 30. One end of the motor shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 by a bearing. An oil seal is provided between the bearing and the motor shaft 7 to prevent grease from the reduction module from entering the motor body 5. The other end of the motor shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the power chamber end cover 3 by a bearing, and the end face is provided with an internal hexagon socket for easy manual rotation of the motor using an internal hexagon wrench. The power chamber end cover 3 is provided with a manual adjustment hole and a second plastic plug 29 to prevent dust from entering the power chamber 6 when not in use.
[0029] The primary parallel gear transmission includes a primary input gear 9 mounted on the motor shaft 7. A positioning shaft 31 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1. A first output gear 10, which meshes with the primary input gear 9, is rotatably connected to the positioning shaft 31 via a rotating bearing 11. The rotating bearing 11 is a four-point contact ball bearing, which can withstand both radial and bidirectional axial forces, occupies little space, and facilitates the installation and disassembly of the gear.
[0030] The secondary worm gear transmission includes a worm 12 disposed at the other end of the first output gear 10; an input gear shaft 14 is rotatably connected between the housing 1 and the upper housing 2 via a bearing, and a worm wheel 13 that meshes with the worm 12 is fixedly mounted on the input gear shaft 14.
[0031] The three-stage parallel gear transmission includes a three-stage input gear fixedly mounted on the input gear shaft 14. A hollow output shaft 26 is rotatably connected between the housing 1 and the upper housing 2 via bearings. Both ends of the output shaft 26 are provided with first oil seals 21 to increase sealing performance. A double gear is rotatably mounted on the output shaft 26 via bearings. One end of the double gear is a second output gear 15, which meshes with the three-stage input gear.
[0032] The four-stage planetary gear transmission includes a sun gear 16, which is the other end of a double gear. A planetary cage 18 extends from the output shaft 26. The planetary cage 18 is connected to several planetary gears 17 via internally fixed rollers. An internal gear ring 20, which meshes with the planetary gears 17, is bolted to the upper housing 2. The sun gear 16, planetary gears 17, planetary cage 18, and internal gear ring 20 together form a planetary reduction mechanism as the output stage reduction, further improving the accuracy of the reducer, making the positioning more accurate, and the rotation smoother.
[0033] A sealing gasket 40 is provided between the housing 1 and the upper housing 2 to prevent grease leakage. The sealing gasket 40 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 by a positioning pin and bolts. The positioning pin can ensure that the internal gear ring 20 of the upper housing 2 is coaxial with the planetary cage 18, and the positioning is accurate, so as to transmit torque.
[0034] The control room cover 4 is fixedly installed on the control room 19 by bolts; the feedback gear system includes a feedback gear 22 and a feedback gear shaft 23, the feedback gear 22 is a helical gear, the feedback gear shaft 23 meshes with the feedback gear 22, and the feedback gear 22 is fixedly connected to the second output gear 15 by bolts; both ends of the feedback gear shaft 23 are rotatably connected to the housing 1 by bearings; a second oil seal 25 is provided at one end of the feedback gear shaft 23 extending out of the housing 1 to prevent grease from entering the control room 19, and an oil seal cap 24 is provided on the housing 1 at the other end to increase sealing; the mounting plate 33 is fixedly installed inside the control room 19; two lead screw supports 41 are provided on the top of the mounting plate 33, and the ball screw 34 is rotatably connected to the lead screw supports 41. The ball screw 34 is threadedly connected to the position sensor 35, enabling more precise positioning. One end of the ball screw 34 is connected to the feedback gear shaft 23 via a coupling 32, which transmits motion and torque and eliminates directional deviations caused by machining and installation errors. Microswitch mounting bases 37 are located on both sides of the position sensor 35. Microswitches 38 are fixed to the adjacent sides of the microswitch mounting bases 37. Each of the two microswitch mounting bases 37 is threadedly connected to an adjusting screw 36, used to adjust the front-to-back position of the microswitch 38, thereby adjusting the feedback distance. Limit rods 42 are connected between the screw supports 41, and the position sensor 35 and the microswitch mounting bases 37 are slidably connected to the limit rods 42. A relay and terminal mounting plate are provided on the top rear side of the mounting plate 33, and the position sensor 35 is electrically connected to the terminal mounting plate.
[0035] The rotation of the second output gear 15 drives the feedback gear 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the feedback gear shaft 23 and the ball screw 34 to rotate, thereby moving the position sensor 35. When the position sensor 35 moves and contacts the micro switch 38, the power module stops running. The micro switches 38 on both sides control the angle of the door opening and closing. When the angle of the door opening and closing needs to be changed, the corresponding adjustment screw 36 is rotated to adjust the position of the corresponding micro switch mounting base 37.
[0036] A wire hole is provided between the power chamber 6 and the control chamber 19 on the housing 1 for passing the motor cable through and installing it onto the terminal mounting plate; a wire hole 39 is provided on the control chamber 19, and a threaded plastic cap 28 is threaded onto the wire hole 39 for easy disassembly and wire threading; an adjustment hole is also provided on the control chamber 19 for external adjustment of the adjustment screw 36 to avoid disassembling the protective cover; a first plastic plug 27 is provided on the adjustment hole to prevent dust from entering the cavity when not in use; an oil filling hole communicating with the outside is provided on the housing 1, and an oil plug is provided.
