Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transmission devices, and more specifically, to a precision commutator. Background Art

[0002] In the field of mechanical transmission, right-angle reversing reducers play a crucial role. Traditional right-angle reversing reducers generally achieve power transmission by means of bevel gears. During their operation, whether in high-load or low-load conditions, the contact area between bevel gears always remains constant. However, in actual long-term use, due to inevitable wear, the service life of bevel gears is reduced. This phenomenon will cause the fitting accuracy between bevel gears to gradually decrease, and further cause the transmission accuracy of the entire right-angle reversing reducer to continuously decline. Moreover, due to the existence of wear problems, in order to ensure its normal operation and maintain a certain transmission accuracy, regular maintenance and overhaul work must be carried out on it, which undoubtedly increases the use cost and maintenance cost of the equipment.

Detailed implementation manners

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, and the scope of implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 11 shown, a precision commutator in this embodiment includes a drive seat 1; a first output shaft 2 and a second output shaft 3 which are coaxially arranged are rotatably provided on the drive seat 1; a first bevel gear 4 is also rotatably provided on the drive seat 1; the axis of the first bevel gear 4 is perpendicular to the axes of the first output shaft 2 and the second output shaft 3; a second bevel gear 5 is fixedly sleeved on the first output shaft 2; the second bevel gear 5 meshes with the first bevel gear 4; a switching assembly and a third bevel gear 7 are slidably provided in the drive seat 1; a commutation transmission structure is provided between the third bevel gear 7 and the second output shaft 3; the switching assembly is provided with a groove 642, and the third bevel gear 7 is rotatably arranged in the groove 642.

[0032] Specifically, the third bevel gear 7 is driven by the switching assembly to slide, so that the third bevel gear 7 meshes with or disengages from the first bevel gear 4, thereby changing the contact area of the bevel gears; when the load increases, the switching assembly makes the third bevel gear 7 mesh with the first bevel gear 4, as Figure 4 shown, at this time, both the second bevel gear 5 and the third bevel gear 7 mesh with the first bevel gear 4, thereby increasing the contact area of the bevel gears, effectively dispersing the load, reducing the pressure per unit area, thereby reducing wear, improving its load-bearing capacity and service life, so as to solve the problems of wear and efficiency existing in the prior art, thereby reducing the noise generated by transmission; when the load decreases, the switching assembly makes the third bevel gear 7 disengage from the first bevel gear 4, as Figure 2 shown, at this time, only the second bevel gear 5 meshes with the first bevel gear 4, reducing the wear of the third bevel gear 7 and the wear on the first bevel gear 4, so as to extend the service life of the first bevel gear 4 and the third bevel gear 7, so as to reduce the maintenance cost.

[0033] In this embodiment, by providing a commutation transmission structure, when the third bevel gear 7 meshes with the first bevel gear 4, the third bevel gear 7 can synchronously drive the second output shaft 3 to rotate, so as to achieve torque transmission.

[0034] As Figures 2 to 10 shown, in a precision commutator according to this embodiment, in some embodiments, the switching assembly includes a slip ring 61 slidably disposed on the first output shaft 2, a drive groove 62 penetrating through the first output shaft 2, a locking block 63 slidably disposed on the groove wall of the drive groove 62, and a push ring 64 slidably disposed on the first output shaft 2;

[0035] A transmission shaft 611 extends radially along the inner wall of the slip ring 61; the transmission shaft 611 movably penetrates through the drive groove 62; the drive groove 62 is V-shaped; the second output shaft 3 is provided with a first chute 31; the transmission shaft 611 is provided with a slider 612 in the first chute 31; a first spring 613 is disposed between the slider 612 and the second output shaft 3; the locking block 63 is located at the inflection point of the drive groove 62; the locking block 63 is provided with a V-shaped opening 631; a second spring 632 is disposed between the locking block 63 and the first output shaft 2; a connecting arm 641 extends from the side wall of the push ring 64; the connecting arm 641 is provided with a groove 642; the connecting arm 641 is slidably connected to the transmission base 1. In this embodiment, the locking block 63 is provided with inclined surfaces 633 on the outer side walls at both ends of the V-shaped opening 631, so that the transmission shaft 611 can press the locking block 63 through the inclined surfaces 633 and snap into the V-shaped opening 631. In this embodiment, the stiffness of the first spring 613 is set to be greater than the stiffness of the second spring 632, so as to facilitate the reset of the slip ring 61.

[0036] Specifically, initially, the transmission shaft 611 is located within the V-shaped opening 631 of the locking block 63. The locking block 63 locks the transmission shaft 611 under the elastic force of the second spring 632, and the opening of the V-shaped opening 631 faces away from the second output shaft 3. When the load connected to the second output shaft 3 increases to a certain extent, the torque between the first output shaft 2 and the second output shaft 3 increases. At this time, when the first output shaft 2 drives the second output shaft 3 to rotate, since the locking block 63 needs to overcome a greater force to drive the transmission shaft 611 to rotate, relative movement occurs between the transmission shaft 611 and the locking block 63. The transmission shaft 611 presses the locking block 63, causing the second spring 632 to compress. The transmission shaft 611 disengages from the V-shaped opening 631 and relatively moves along one end of the driving groove 62. At this time, due to the relative rotation between the first output shaft 2 and the transmission shaft 611, the first output shaft 2 applies a thrust to the transmission shaft 611 through the driving groove 62, causing the slip ring 61 to slide relative to the first output shaft 2. The slip ring 61 drives the push ring 64 to slide, and the push ring 64 drives the third bevel gear 7 to slide through the groove 642, so that the third bevel gear 7 slides to engage with the first bevel gear 4. The third bevel gear 7 synchronously transmits the torque input through the first bevel gear 4, and the third bevel gear 7 drives the second output shaft 3 to rotate through the reversing transmission structure, thereby effectively dispersing the load and reducing wear. At the same time, the slider 612 slides within the first chute 31, and the first spring 613 is compressed;

[0037] When the load connected to the second output shaft 3 decreases, the first spring 613 pushes the slider 612 to reset. The slider 612 drives the transmission shaft 611 to reset to the inflection point of the driving groove 62 and presses the locking block 63 until the transmission shaft 611 enters the V-shaped opening 631 again. The second spring 632 resets and pushes the locking block 63 to extend, locking the transmission shaft 611 at the inflection point of the driving groove 62 again, thus restoring the low-load state.

[0038] It should be noted that the degree of load increase can be determined by setting the stiffness of the second spring 632 to determine the switching timing; the greater the stiffness of the second spring 632, the greater the degree of load increase required to disengage the transmission shaft 611 from the V-shaped opening 631.

[0039] Such as Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 7 、 Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments of a precision commutator described in this embodiment, a connection portion 32 is provided at the inner end of the second output shaft 3; a connection groove 21 is provided at the inner end of the first output shaft 2; the connection portion 32 is rotatably disposed within the connection groove 21; a first chute 31 is provided on the connection portion 32; the driving groove 62 is communicated with the connection groove 21. In this embodiment, by providing the cooperation of the connection groove 21 and the connection portion 32, the assembly between the first output shaft 2 and the second output shaft 3 is facilitated.

[0040] Such as Figure 2 、Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 10 As shown in Figure 10 , in some embodiments of a precision commutator described in this embodiment, a limiting baffle 33 for limiting the stroke of the push ring 64 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting portion 32. By providing the limiting baffle 33 in this embodiment, the sliding stroke of the push ring 64 is limited, and the structural reliability is higher.

[0041] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , and Figures 4 to 6 , in some embodiments of a precision commutator described in this embodiment, the second output shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the transmission base 1 through a flange 11; a connecting ring 111 extends inside the flange 11; the third bevel gear 7 is provided with an annular groove 71; the connecting ring 111 is movably embedded in the annular groove 71. By providing the flange 11 in this embodiment, the installation of the second output shaft 3 is facilitated. By providing the annular groove 71 in cooperation with the connecting ring 111, guidance and limitation are provided for the third bevel gear 7, making the third bevel gear 7 more stable during transmission.

[0042] As Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 , and Figure 5 , in some embodiments of a precision commutator described in this embodiment, a second chute 112 is provided inside the flange 11; the connecting arm 641 slides into the second chute 112. By providing the second chute 112 in cooperation with the connecting arm 641 in this embodiment, the rotational freedom of the push ring 64 is limited, so that the push ring 64 can only slide axially, and the structural reliability is better.

[0043] As Figures 2 to 6 As shown in Figures 2 to 6 , in some embodiments of a precision commutator described in this embodiment, the commutation transmission structure includes a transmission gear 81 rotatably provided on the transmission base 1, a first tooth structure 82 provided on the inner peripheral wall of the third bevel gear 7, and a second tooth structure 83 provided on the outer peripheral wall of the second output shaft 3; the transmission gear 81 meshes with both the first tooth structure 82 and the second tooth structure 83.

[0044] Specifically, when the third bevel gear 7 meshes with the first bevel gear 4, the first bevel gear 4 drives the third bevel gear 7 to rotate. The rotation directions of the third bevel gear 7 and the second bevel gear 5 are opposite. The third bevel gear 7 drives the transmission gear 81 to rotate in the same direction through the first tooth structure 82, and the transmission gear 81 drives the second output shaft 3 to rotate synchronously and reversely through the second tooth structure 83, so that the second output shaft 3 rotates under the combined drive of the first output shaft 2 and the third bevel gear 7, thereby increasing the contact area of the bevel gears, effectively dispersing the load, reducing the pressure per unit area, reducing wear, and improving its load-bearing capacity and service life.

[0045] As Figure 2 ,Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in Figure 5 , in some embodiments of a precision commutator described in this embodiment, an installation shaft 12 extends from the inner wall of the drive seat 1; the drive gear 81 is rotatably sleeved on the installation shaft 12. By providing the installation shaft 12 in this embodiment, the installation of the drive gear 81 is facilitated.

[0046] As Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 As shown in Figures 4 to 6 , in some embodiments of a precision commutator described in this embodiment, the outer wall of the first bevel gear 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the drive seat 1 through a first bearing 9. By providing the first bearing 9 in this embodiment, the rotation of the first bevel gear 4 is more stable and has better stability, thus ensuring the transmission accuracy.

[0047] As Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 As shown in Figures 4 to 6 , in some embodiments of a precision commutator described in this embodiment, the outer wall of the second bevel gear 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the drive seat 1 through a second bearing 10. By providing the second bearing 10 in this embodiment, the rotation of the second bevel gear 5 is more stable and has better stability, thus ensuring the transmission accuracy.

[0048] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
