AI Technical Summary
The existing worm gear reducers have problems, including the worm gear being unable to withstand large axial forces, the transmission gap, and the lack of adjustable scale markings for the output turntable, which makes it impossible to achieve zero operation.
Bidirectional stress bearings are used to support the worm gear to ensure that it can withstand radial and axial forces; elastic devices are used to maintain contact between the worm gear and the worm gear to ensure clearance transmission; and zero operation is achieved through a rotatable dial instead of the traditional fixed dial.
Through the use of bidirectional stress bearings, the worm gear can withstand large radial and axial forces at the same time. The elastic device ensures that there is no clearance in the transmission and the rotatable dial can achieve zero operation, which solves the lower-grade problems existing in traditional reducers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 A worm gear reducer includes a worm wheel 1 and a worm 2. A first nut 3 fixes the outer ring of a bidirectional force bearing 4 to the inner cavity of the worm wheel 1. A second nut 5 fixes the inner ring of the bidirectional force bearing 4 to a support shaft 6. A first screw 7 fixes the support shaft 6 to the bottom of the inner cavity of a base 8. An output turntable 9 is connected to the upper part of the worm wheel 1. A first sealing ring 10 is provided between the outer diameter of the worm wheel 1 and the inner cavity of the base 8. A second sealing ring 11 is provided between the upper inner cavity of the worm wheel 1 and the second nut 5. A third nut 12 fixes the active end of the worm 2 to the inner ring of a second bearing 13. A fourth nut 14 fixes the outer ring of the second bearing 13 to the inner cavity of an active bearing seat 15. A shaft retaining ring 16 fixes the driven end of the worm 2 to the inner ring of a third bearing 17. The outer ring of the third bearing is fixed to the inner cavity of the driven bearing seat 19 with a retaining ring 18. The driven bearing seat 19 has a protruding ear 20, and the ear 20 has a through hole 21. The guide column 22 is fixed to the base 8 through the through hole 21. The spring 23 and the gasket 24 are fitted on the guide column 22. The clamping nut 25 presses the spring 23 and the gasket 24 on the surface of the ear 20 through threads; the active end of the worm 2 is connected with an elastic coupling 26, and the outside of the elastic coupling 26 is provided with a motor connecting seat 27, and the motor connecting seat 27 is fixed to one side of the base 8; a third sealing ring 28 is provided between the active end of the worm 2 and the base, and end covers 29 and plugs 30 are provided on both sides of the base 8, and an end face sealing ring 31 is provided between the support shaft 6 and the base 8.
[0020] like Figure 4As shown, the active bearing seat 15 has first pin holes 32 on its upper and lower surfaces, and a second pin hole 33 on the corresponding base 8, and a rotating pin 34 is built into the pin hole. The rotating pin 34 and the first pin hole 32 are interference fit, and the rotating pin 34 and the second pin hole 33 are clearance fit, thus forming a rotatable hinge.
[0021] like Figure 5 As shown, the output turntable 9 has two outer diameters, and a scale ring 35 is arranged on the smaller outer diameter close to the base 8. The scale ring 35 is connected to the output turntable 9 by a set screw 36, and an indicator needle 37 is fixed on the base 8. When the current position of the present invention needs to be reset to zero, the set screw 36 is first loosened, and after the zero position is aligned, it is re-tightened.
[0022] like Figure 6 As shown, there is a groove 38 on the output turntable 9, and a sensor sheet 39 is fixed in the groove 38 by screws, and a photoelectric switch 40 is fixed on the base 8. These are used as origin switches.
[0023] When the present invention is working, the motor is first fixed on the motor connection seat 27, and the motor drives the worm 2 to rotate through the elastic coupling 26, and then drives the worm 1 to move, and finally drives the output turntable 9 to make precise movements. In the whole process, the worm 2 takes the rotating pin 34 as the rotation center, and the spring 23 applies pressure, so that the worm 2 and the worm wheel are always in elastic contact, and even if there are errors in the worm wheel and worm processing parts and the thermal expansion and contraction of the material, they can be automatically compensated to achieve gapless transmission.
[0024] The bidirectional load bearing 4 in the present invention at least includes a cross roller bearing, a double row angular contact ball bearing and a pair of angular contact ball bearings. A feature of these bearings is that they can not only withstand radial force and axial force, but also the clearance of the bearing itself is controlled by the bearing manufacturer, eliminating the risk of poor control of the clearance when the bearing is installed manually.
[0025] The second bearing 13 in the present invention at least includes a double-row angular contact ball bearing and a paired angular contact ball bearing.
[0026] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention.
