Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical transmission technology, and in particular to an internal pull-type split worm gear. Background Technology
[0002] The worm gear mechanism evolved from the staggered-axis helical cylindrical gear mechanism and is a special type of gear mechanism used to transmit motion between two staggered shafts. Its working principle is as follows: rotation is achieved by the meshing of the worm wheel and the worm. The worm wheel is a disc-shaped gear with helical teeth, called worm teeth. The worm is a long, strip-shaped shaft with a helical surface, called worm grooves. When the worm wheel and the worm mesh, due to the helical shape of the worm teeth and worm grooves, the worm wheel moves along the worm's axial direction while rotating, thus achieving transmission.
[0003] However, when the worm and worm wheel are transmitting power, friction will occur on the contact surface between the worm groove and the worm tooth. Over time, slight wear will gradually occur, reducing the fit between the worm groove and the worm tooth, which will affect the transmission accuracy and service life.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an internal pull-type split worm gear with high transmission accuracy and long service life. Summary of the Invention
