DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. In the following detailed description, certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described only by way of illustration. Needless to say, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the claims.
[0018] Embodiment 1: like Figures 1 to 7As shown in common, the anti-interference universal shaft assembly of the screw drill comprises a connecting rod 1, both ends of the connecting rod 1 are universally connected to a rotor joint 2 through a movable shaft, both ends of the connecting rod 1 are respectively provided with a rod fork seat 11, and a rod two-tooth fork is integrally provided on the rod fork seat 11, and the two rod two-tooth forks are arranged with the axis of the connecting rod 1 rotating 90 degrees, and the rod two-tooth forks include two rod teeth 12 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, and each rod tooth 12 includes a rod right-handed force-bearing surface 13 and a rod left-handed force-bearing surface 14, and the two rod right-handed force-bearing surfaces 13 or the two rod left-handed force-bearing surfaces 14 are arc surfaces; the end of the rotor joint 2 A joint fork seat 21 is provided on the joint fork seat 21, and a joint two-tooth fork is integrally provided on the joint fork seat 21. The joint two-tooth fork includes two joint teeth 22 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, and each joint tooth 22 includes a joint right-handed force-bearing surface 23 and a joint left-handed force-bearing surface 24. The two joint right-handed force-bearing surfaces 23 or the two joint left-handed force-bearing surfaces 24 are both planes, and the two joint teeth 22 are cross-connected and circumferentially pressed against the two rod teeth 12; the working state of the universal shaft assembly provided by the present invention is to convert the planar planetary motion of the screw drill motor rotor into the fixed-axis operation of the transmission shaft, and at the same time transmit the working torque of the motor to the transmission shaft and the drill bit. Therefore, the two rotor joints 2 of the universal shaft make planetary rotation around the central connecting rod 1, and the contact surfaces of the four cross petals of the two movable twists move in an internal angle of 3° around the axis of the connecting rod 1. The prior art such as Figure 8 As shown, the force-bearing surfaces of the rod shifting tooth 12 and the joint shifting tooth 22 are both planes, which will interfere with the edge corners of the end and the inner edge corners during planetary motion, and the operation is not flexible; while in the present invention, since the right-handed force-bearing surface 13 of the rod shifting tooth 12 or the left-handed force-bearing surface 14 of the rod portion is changed from the original plane to an arc surface, when it is against the plane of the right-handed force-bearing surface 23 of the joint or the left-handed force-bearing surface 24 of the joint shifting tooth 22 and performs planetary motion, the plane smoothly transitions in the arc surface, rather than the plane moving in the plane, and the force is more uniform during the movement. It is not easy for the plane and the arc surface to interfere with each other when they move with each other, there is a larger avoidance space, the movement is smoother, it is not easy to cause local damage, the structural design is reasonable, the torque transmission is flexible, and the service life is long.
[0019] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown together, the two rod parts and the two-tooth shift forks are arranged with the axis of the connecting rod 1 rotated 90° as the center. Compared with the symmetrical arrangement of the shift teeth at both ends of the connecting rod 1 in the prior art, the strength is higher, the operation is more stable during planetary motion, and the service life is further improved.
[0020] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown together, the two rod shift teeth 12 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis center of the connecting rod 1, and the right-handed force-bearing surface and the left-handed force-bearing surface are provided with wear-resistant alloy layers respectively. The circumferential cross-section of the rod shift teeth 12 occupies about 87°, and the gap between the two rod shift teeth 12 occupies about 93° in the circumferential direction. When the universal joint assembly rotates right, the corresponding right-handed force-bearing surfaces of the rod shift teeth 12 and the joint shift teeth 22 abut against each other, and when the universal joint assembly rotates left, the corresponding left-handed force-bearing surfaces of the rod shift teeth 12 and the joint shift teeth 22 abut against each other.
[0021] like Figure 6 As shown, the two joint teeth 22 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis center of the rotor joint 2, and the joint right-handed force surface 23 and the joint left-handed force surface 24 are provided with wear-resistant alloy layers respectively. The circumferential cross section of the joint teeth 22 occupies about 87°, and the gap between the two joint teeth 22 occupies about 93° in the circumferential direction. After the joint teeth 22 are matched with the rod teeth 12, a certain gap is left for matching the planetary motion. The left-handed force surface and the right-handed force surface of the rod teeth 12 and the joint teeth 22 are sintered with tungsten-cobalt alloy layers, which greatly improves the wear resistance.
[0022] like Figure 7 As shown, the arc surface includes a concave avoidance arc 131 located at the inner end of the rod tooth 12 and a convex avoidance arc 132 located at the outer end of the rod tooth 12, and a middle convex arc 133 is connected between the concave avoidance arc 131 and the convex avoidance arc 132, and the concave avoidance arc 131, the middle convex arc 133 and the convex avoidance arc 132 are smoothly transitioned. The concave avoidance arc 131 is used to avoid the edge edges of the end face of the joint tooth 22, and the concave avoidance arc 131 is a 90° arc surface with a radius R. The convex avoidance arc 132 is used to avoid the internal edge edges of the joint tooth 22, and the convex avoidance arc 132 is a 90° arc surface with a radius r, R is approximately one-sixth of the length of the rod tooth 12, and r is approximately one-eighth of the length of the rod tooth 12. The main function of the middle convex arc 133 is to smoothly transition between the concave avoidance arc 131 and the convex avoidance arc 132. The size of the arc is determined according to actual conditions, as long as it convexes toward the force-bearing surface of the joint tooth 22 that is in contact with it. This ensures that the joint tooth 22 and the rod tooth 12 can interact with each other without interfering with each other, thereby ensuring the flexibility of torque transmission.
[0023] like Figure 3As shown, a rod shaft hole 16 is provided on the rod fork seat 11 along the axial direction, and a limiting hole 15 is provided in the radial direction of the rod fork seat 11 and the rod shaft hole 16; a joint shaft hole 25 is provided on the joint fork seat 21 along the axial direction, and a limiting cavity 26 for accommodating the ball head end of the movable shaft is provided in the joint shaft hole 25; the ball head end of the movable shaft is located in the joint shaft hole 25, and the other end of the movable shaft is located in the rod shaft hole 16, and the movable shaft universally connects the rotor joint 2 and the connecting rod 1 together. The movable shaft is not shown in the figure, and it can be used with the existing technology. A ball head is provided at one end of the movable shaft, and the ball head is located in the limiting cavity 26, so that one end of the movable shaft is limited to the rotor joint 2; the other end of the movable shaft is symmetrically provided with a blind hole in the radial direction, and a limiting rivet passes through the limiting hole 15 and connects with the blind hole, so that the other end of the movable shaft is limited to the connecting rod 1.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the axes of the limiting holes 15 at both ends of the connecting rod 1 are vertically arranged. The axes of the limiting holes 15 at both ends of the connecting rod 1 are perpendicular to each other, which improves the strength of the connecting rod 1 and prolongs the service life of the connecting rod 1 compared to the axes being parallel to each other.
[0025] In this embodiment, only the right-handed force-bearing surface or the left-handed force-bearing surface is used to improve the arc surface. Because in actual use, the right-handed method is often adopted, so there is no need to perform additional arc surface processing on the force-bearing surface on the other side, which reduces the processing intensity and saves processing costs. Of course, if it is used in a left-handed manner, you can choose to process the left-handed force-bearing surface alone.
[0026] Embodiment 2: This embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, except that Figures 9 to 13 As shown together, the two right-handed force-bearing surfaces 13 of the rod parts and the two left-handed force-bearing surfaces 14 of the rod parts are all cambered surfaces. In this embodiment, both the right-handed force-bearing surfaces and the left-handed force-bearing surfaces are improved with cambered surfaces. Although this processing has an extra step, it is more flexible in later use. Whether it is left-handed or right-handed, it can reduce interference and ensure the flexibility of torque transmission.
