DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 7The present invention provides a technical solution: a dedicated high-reliability wireless steering engine, including a body, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the machine body comprises a shell 1, a sealing cover 2 is detachably provided on the top of the shell 1, and a mounting shell 5 is detachably provided on the bottom of the shell 1.

[0025] A drive shaft 6 is rotatably mounted in the body, and the top of the drive shaft 6 extends from the sealing cover 2 to the outside. Since the drive shaft 6 needs to be connected to the load when the steering gear is in use, a connector is also provided at the top of the drive shaft 6. During installation, the drive shaft 6 is specifically rotatably connected to the sealing cover 2 and the mounting shell 5. The bottom of the drive shaft 6 is connected to the potentiometer 13, and the potentiometer 13 is connected to the control board, which is respectively connected to the motor 4, and the control board and the wireless transceiver module are both arranged in the mounting shell 5, and the wireless transceiver module supports wireless signals such as LAN, 4G, 5G and 6G.

[0026] Next, a mounting groove 28 is provided on one side of the body, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting groove 28 is arranged on one side of the mounting shell 5, and the motor 4 is detachably mounted in the mounting groove 28. Specifically, a support 29 is provided on one side of the motor 4, and the support 29 is detachably connected to the side of the mounting shell 5. The support 29 and the mounting shell 5 are fastened by bolts.

[0027] A second mounting shaft 19 parallel to the drive shaft 6 is also rotatably mounted in the body. The second mounting shaft 19 is located at the mounting groove 28 and corresponds to the position of the motor 4. Therefore, the position of the second mounting shaft 19 is also located above the mounting groove 28. When installing, the second mounting shaft 19 can be rotatably mounted on the sealing cover 2. Figure 4 As shown, one end of the second mounting shaft 19 (the bottom of the second mounting shaft 19) extends into the mounting groove 28 and a spline sleeve 7 is installed at its end, and a spline shaft is provided on the rotating shaft of the motor 4, and the spline shaft is placed in the spline sleeve 7;

[0028] The motor 4 in the present application is a brushless motor, of course, a servo motor or other motors are also possible. The motor is arranged outside the body to help dissipate heat, and the motor 4 is easy to disassemble and replace. When the motor is damaged, it is only necessary to disassemble the motor 4 and pull the spline shaft out of the spline sleeve 7. After replacing the new motor, the spline shaft can be inserted into the spline sleeve 7. Therefore, there is no need to disassemble the body when replacing the motor, and the operation is convenient.

[0029] Furthermore, when the steering gear is in use, the motor 4 needs to drive the drive shaft 6 to rotate, and the second mounting shaft 19 and the drive shaft 6 need to be connected through a gear transmission structure so that the power of the two can be connected;

[0030] The gear transmission structure is arranged in the sealing cover 2, and the gear transmission structure will be described in detail below. Figure 4As shown, the gear transmission structure includes a fourth gear 20 arranged on the second mounting shaft 19, and a first mounting shaft 18 is arranged between the driving shaft 6 and the second mounting shaft 19, and one end of the first mounting shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the body, specifically, the bottom of the first mounting shaft 18 is rotatably mounted on the top of the housing 1;

[0031] A third gear 17 and a fifth gear 21 are mounted on the first mounting shaft 18. The third gear 17 and the fifth gear 21 are an integrated structure, and the size of the fifth gear 21 is smaller than that of the third gear 17.

[0032] At least one second gear 16 is installed on the drive shaft 6. In actual use, the second gear 16 is closest to the load and bears the largest load force, so the number of second gears 16 is at least two, so that the second gear 16 can have sufficient strength when driving the drive shaft 6, and the size of the second gear 16 is larger than the size of the fifth gear 21, and the second gear 16 is meshed with the fifth gear 21. Among them, the size of the fourth gear 20 is smaller than the size of the third gear 17, and the fourth gear 20 is meshed with the third gear 17;

[0033] Therefore, when the motor 4 rotates, it can drive the second installation shaft 19 to rotate, and the second installation shaft 19 drives the third gear 17 to rotate through the fourth gear 20, and the third gear 17 drives the second gear 16 to rotate through the fifth gear 21. The process is to make the third gear 17 and the fourth gear 20 perform a primary deceleration, and then perform a secondary deceleration through the fifth gear 21 and the second gear 16, so that the speed of the motor 4 is reduced, so that the output torque of the motor 4 is amplified;

[0034] Moreover, a first gear 9 is mounted on the first mounting shaft 18, and a sixth gear 23 is mounted on the second mounting shaft 19. The sixth gear 23 meshes with the first gear 9. Figure 4 As shown, the third gear 17 and the second installation shaft 19 can simultaneously drive the first installation shaft 18 to rotate, which can increase the connection strength between the first installation shaft 18 and the second installation shaft 19.

[0035] Furthermore, a ratchet locking device is also provided on the driving shaft 6, and the ratchet locking device and the potentiometer 13 are provided in the housing 1. The ratchet locking device will be described in detail below;

[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the ratchet locking device includes a first ratchet 14 and a second ratchet 15 arranged on the drive shaft 6, and the slots 8 on the edges of the first ratchet 14 and the second ratchet 15 are inclined in opposite directions. A strip seat 26 is provided on both sides of the first ratchet 14 and the second ratchet 15, and a claw 27 corresponding to the first ratchet 14 and the second ratchet 15 is provided on the surface of each strip seat 26;

[0037] A support arm 11 is installed in the middle of each strip seat 26, and the middle of the support arm 11 is rotatably connected to the support shaft 12, and one end of the support shaft 12 is fixed to the body, specifically, the top of the support shaft 12 is fixed to the top of the shell 1, and a torsion spring 22 is provided on each support shaft 12, and one end of the torsion spring 22 is connected to the body, specifically, the top of the torsion spring 22 is fixed to the support shaft 12 or the top of the shell 1, and the other end of the torsion spring 22 (i.e., the bottom of the torsion spring 22) is connected to the support arm 11. Driven by the torsion spring 22, the strip seat 26 approaches the driving shaft 6, and the claws 27 are respectively placed in the card slots 8;

[0038] It should be noted that the groove on the edge of the ratchet is inclined, mainly to achieve the engagement and sliding between the ratchet and the pawl. When the pawl is engaged with the ratchet, the cooperation between the ratchet and the pawl can prevent the shaft from rotating. Because a single ratchet can only prevent one-way rotation, the ratchet of the present application is two and oppositely arranged, so that when the claws 27 are respectively placed in the slots 8, the first ratchet 14 and the second ratchet 15 are simultaneously clamped, so that the forward and reverse rotations of the drive shaft 6 are restricted and fixed, so that the drive shaft 6 always remains stationary, and the ratchet claw 27 has a large clamping force, so that the drive shaft 6 will not cause unnecessary slippage during a large impact.

[0039] Furthermore, the ratchet locking device needs to be opened immediately when the drive shaft 6 rotates. The ratchet locking device is in a normally closed state only when the servo is normally closed or needs to be stopped. The ratchet locking device is arranged between the ends of the two arms 11 away from the drive shaft 6. The electromagnetic drive mechanism drives the ratchet locking device to open and close under the drive of the control board.

[0040] Among them, the electromagnetic drive mechanism includes an armature 24 arranged at one end of the two arms 11 away from the drive shaft 6, and an electromagnet 25 arranged between the two armatures 24. A certain distance is set between the two ends of the electromagnet 25 and the armature 24, and the distance is used for closing or opening the armature 24, and the middle part of the electromagnet 25 is connected to the body through the mounting seat 10.

[0041] Based on the above embodiment, it can be further optimized that the steering gear needs to be fixed when in use, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, connecting seats 3 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the body, and holes are provided on the connecting seats 3, which are fixed by bolts. During installation, the connecting seats 3 are specifically arranged on both sides of the housing 1.

[0042] Based on the above embodiment, further optimization can be performed. A spline shaft is provided at the bottom of the driving shaft, and a spline sleeve is installed on the shaft at the top of the potentiometer 13. During installation, the driving shaft 6 and the potentiometer 13 are connected by plugging and unplugging.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
