Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of multidimensional motion tilting mechanism, and particularly relates to a single driving source directional tilting oblique surface tilting joint. BACKGROUND

[0002] The oblique surface tilting joint is a novel joint form, the contact surface of the two ends of the cylinder is not perpendicular to the cylinder axis and has a certain angle, thereby forming an oblique surface. When the two ends of the cylinder rotate along the oblique surface, the cylinder axis is caused to tilt in space due to the non-perpendicularity of the oblique surface and the cylinder axis, thereby realizing the conversion of rotary motion into tilting motion. Through the control of the rotation direction and speed of the upper and lower parts of the joint, multidimensional tilting can be realized.

[0030] The present application will be described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments:

[0031] As Figure 1 shown is a schematic diagram of the directional yawing bevel surface yawing joint, which includes a transmission system, a reducer 8, an upper bevel surface mechanism 10, a lower bevel surface mechanism 11, a universal joint 9, a driving motor 12 and a bearing 13.

[0032] Figure 2 and Figure 3The transmission system of the application is shown in the schematic diagram, which comprises a first clutch 1, a second clutch 2, a transmission shaft 3, a clutch support structure 4, a planetary gear train 5, a planetary gear train transmission structure 6, and an external protective shell 7.

[0033] The planetary gear train 5 comprises an inner ring gear 501, a planetary gear set 502, and a sun gear 503.

[0034] In the transmission system, the first clutch 1 and the second clutch 2 are fixed on the clutch support structure 4, and the torque on the transmission shaft 3 is transmitted to the planetary gear train transmission structure 6 through the opening and closing of the clutch. The planetary gear train transmission structure 6 is connected to the lower bevel mechanism 11. Different clutches transmit different torques to the planetary gear train transmission mechanism. When the first clutch 1 is closed, the sun gear 503 drives the planetary gear set 502 to rotate, further driving the inner ring gear 501 to rotate. The inner ring gear 501 is fixedly connected to the planetary gear train transmission structure 6, and finally drives the bevel mechanism to rotate in the opposite direction of the transmission shaft 3. When the second clutch 2 is closed, the transmission shaft 3 is directly connected to the planetary gear train transmission structure 6 through the second clutch 2, and finally drives the bevel mechanism to rotate in the same direction as the transmission shaft. On the other hand, the planetary gear train 5 has a speed reduction function, so that the speed and direction of the bevel mechanism are inconsistent when the speed and direction of the driving motor 12 are unchanged. At the same time, the clutches 1 and 2 cannot be closed at the same time when the driving motor 12 rotates.

[0035] The transmission of the upper bevel is shown in Figure 4 The upper bevel is connected to the speed reducer 8 through the transmission shaft 3, and is directly driven by the driving motor 12 through the speed reducer 8.

[0036] The transmission of the lower bevel is shown in Figure 5 The lower bevel is connected to the transmission shaft 3 and the speed reducer 8 through the clutch, and the output rotation of the speed reducer is transmitted to the planetary gear train transmission system 6 through the clutch control to drive the lower bevel mechanism to rotate. When the clutch 2 is closed and the clutch 1 is opened, the transmission shaft directly drives the transmission housing to move. The planetary gear train transmission structure 6 is connected to the lower bevel mechanism 11, and when the speed reduction ratio is W, the speed relationship between the housing and the motor output is 1:W, and the rotation directions are the same. When the clutch 1 is closed and the clutch 2 is opened, the transmission system drives the planetary gear set to move through the sun gear, and then transmits to the inner ring gear, which is fixedly connected to the transmission housing. Subsequently, through the above transmission path, the housing and the motor output move in opposite directions, and the speed ratio is related to the speed ratio of the planetary gear train. When the speed ratio of the planetary gear train is K, the speed ratio of the housing and the motor output is K:W.

[0037] Figure 6The working principle of the application is shown in the figure, the application can realize two kinds of movement modes of rotation and deflection, both of which are driven by a single motor, the motor output is transmitted through the cooperation of multiple clutches, and multi-dimensional movement is realized through the transmission system. Because the transmission mechanism can realize the same direction or reverse rotation of the oblique surface mechanism and the transmission shaft. During rotation, the motor rotates, and the upper and lower parts are driven to rotate synchronously at the same speed through the transmission system, so that the upper and lower parts are relatively stationary, and the whole system rotates; during deflection, the motor rotates, and the upper and lower parts are driven to rotate at different speeds in opposite directions through the transmission system, so that the upper and lower parts rotate relatively along the oblique surface, realizing overall deflection in the ground coordinate, and further realizing multi-dimensional movement of the deflection joint.

[0038] During rotation, the speed and direction of movement can be adjusted, when clutch 2 is closed and clutch 1 is opened, the upper and lower oblique surface mechanisms and the reducer are connected to the upper and lower parts with the same speed, and the speed and direction of the reducer output are the same, and the rotation speed direction is determined by the motor rotation direction.

[0039] During deflection, only when clutch 1 is closed and clutch 2 is opened, the upper oblique surface is directly driven by the reducer to rotate forward, and the lower part is decelerated by the planetary gear train, and the rotation speed is opposite to the direction of the reducer output rotation speed, the upper and lower oblique surface mechanisms 10 and 11 rotate at different speeds in opposite directions, realizing directional deflection of the joint system, and the rotation speed ratio of the upper and lower parts is 1:-K; at the same time, when the motor 12 rotates forward, the joint starts to deflect from the vertical state, and the deflection angle gradually increases, when the motor reverses, the deflection angle gradually decreases, and gradually returns to the vertical state. The minimum and maximum angles of deflection are shown in the figure. Figure 7
