TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mechanical transmission, in particular to an external pressure type split worm. BACKGROUND
[0002] Worm gear transmission is a common mechanical transmission method, which realizes rotation through the meshing of worm gear and worm. The meshing surface of worm gear and worm is spiral, so it is also called spiral transmission. Worm gear transmission has the advantages of large transmission ratio, high transmission efficiency and compact structure, and is widely used in various mechanical equipment.
[0003] The principle of worm gear transmission is to realize rotation by using the meshing of worm gear and worm. Worm gear is a disc-shaped gear, and its tooth surface is spiral, called worm tooth. Worm is a long strip-shaped shaft, and its surface is also spiral, called worm thread. When worm gear and worm mesh, due to the spiral shape of worm tooth and worm thread, worm gear will also move axially along worm shaft while rotating, thereby realizing transmission.
[0004] However, when worm and worm gear transmit, the contact surface of worm thread and worm tooth will produce friction. With the growth of time, slight wear will gradually appear, which will reduce the matching degree of worm thread and worm tooth, affecting the transmission accuracy and service life.
[0005] Therefore, people urgently need an external pressure type split worm with high transmission accuracy and long service life. SUMMARY
