Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a harmonic reducer, in particular to a harmonic reducer capable of preventing oil overflow. Background Art

[0002] A harmonic reducer is a reduction gear structure that uses a wave generator to make the flexible gear produce controllable elastic deformation and mesh with the rigid gear to transmit force.

[0003] Referring to the "top hat type harmonic gear device" provided in Taiwan Application No. 107104961, the bearing seal can block the gap between the gear side gap and the second gap on the bearing side, thereby preventing or inhibiting excess lubricant from flowing into the bearing. In addition, the excess lubricant that has flowed into the bearing can also flow back to the gap on the gear side through the bearing seal. Therefore, the oil seal can prevent or inhibit the excess lubricant that has flowed into the bearing from leaking out. However, the bearing seal can only inhibit the flow of grease in one direction, that is, it can only prevent the grease on the gear side from flowing into the bearing part, but cannot prevent the grease on the bearing part from flowing into the gear side. Therefore, it will cause oil mixing or the grease on the bearing part to flow out, resulting in insufficient lubrication of the bearing part.

[0004] Referring to the "flexible meshing gear system" provided in Japanese application No. 2018012540, in order to prevent the grease on the gear side from flowing into the bearing part, many components must be structurally changed, such as processing the second internal gear component and the main bearing as one piece, and controlling the bearing track accuracy and gear accuracy at the same time, so it is difficult to manufacture in production.

It is worth mentioning that the second outer portion 53 can also be fixed to the outer ring body 50 by snapping, bonding or other means; wherein the outer flow channel 92 is connected to the rolling groove 91, and an oil stop ring seal 99 is used to set the outlet of the outer flow channel 92, the labyrinth flow channel 93 is connected to the rolling groove 91, and the labyrinth flow channel 93 is connected to the meshing point of the flexible gear 20 and the rigid gear 30.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the labyrinth-like flow channel 93 has a first flow channel section 931 connected to the rolling groove 91, a second flow channel section 932 connected to the first flow channel section 931 and bent at an angle to the first flow channel section 931, and a third flow channel section 933 connected to the second flow channel section 932 and bent at an angle to the second flow channel section 932. The third flow channel section 933 also presents a plurality of bends. The labyrinth-like flow channel 93 presents a labyrinth-like structure with a plurality of bends through the mutually bent first flow channel section 931, the second flow channel section 932, and the third flow channel section 933. The second inner portion 43 of the inner ring body 40 is farther away from the extension portion 212 of the flexible gear 20 than the second outer portion 53 of the outer ring body 50, and the second inner portion 43 of the inner ring body 40 is provided with a flow channel recess 431 facing the extension portion 212 of the flexible gear 20, the second outer portion 53 of the outer ring body 50 extends between the second inner portion 43 and the extension portion 212, and has a flow channel protrusion 531 located in the flow channel recess 431, and there is a gap between the flow channel protrusion 531 and the flow channel recess 431 to form a multi-bend third flow channel section 933, and the top surface of the flow channel protrusion 531 of the outer ring body 50 is flat.

[0050] The plurality of rolling elements 60 are disposed in a rolling groove 91 formed between the inner ring body 40 and the outer ring body 50 .

[0051] The above is the configuration description of each major component of the first embodiment of the present invention. The effect of the present invention is described as follows.

[0052] First, avoid oil mixing.

[0053] Since an outer flow channel 92 and a labyrinth flow channel 93 are formed between the inner ring body 40 and the outer ring body 50 of the bearing A, wherein the labyrinth flow channel 93 connects the meshing point of the flexible gear 20 and the rigid gear 30, and the present invention particularly adopts a labyrinth structure design for the labyrinth flow channel 93, that is, the first flow channel section 931, the second flow channel section 932, and the third flow channel section 933 are bent to each other, so that the labyrinth flow channel 93 presents a flow channel structure with multiple bending types. In particular, in the third flow channel section 933, the structural design of the flow channel recess 431 and the flow channel protrusion 531 is utilized to form a cut-off gap and an expansion cavity therebetween. When the lubricating grease sealed in the bearing A passes through the gap of the tortuous labyrinth, a throttling effect is generated to achieve the purpose of preventing leakage. Therefore, the present invention can prevent the lubricating grease between the inner ring body 40 and the outer ring body 50 from flowing out and mixing with the lubricating grease at the meshing point of the flexible gear 20 and the rigid gear 30.

[0054] Second, reduce production costs.

[0055] The present invention can achieve the effect of preventing oil spillage by only changing the structures of the inner ring body 40 and the outer ring body 50 of the bearing A. Therefore, the number of parts to be changed in design and manufacturing is small, thereby effectively reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0056] It is worth mentioning that the second outer portion 53 of the outer ring body 50 extends between the second inner portion 43 of the inner ring body 40 and the extension portion 212 of the flexible gear 20, and has a slope 533 facing the extension portion 212, and the angle B between the slope 533 and the extension portion 212 is 5-10 degrees. In this way, when the flexible gear 20 is driven to deform and actuate, it is avoided that the position of the second outer portion 53 of the outer ring body 50 is affected, and the second outer portion 53 of the outer ring body 50 and the second inner portion 43 of the inner ring body 40 interfere with each other, thereby affecting the smoothness of the movement of the outer ring body 50 and the inner ring body 40.

[0057] See also Figure 4 As shown, the second embodiment of the present invention provides a harmonic reducer for preventing oil spillage, which is different from the first embodiment in that:
