Description

The accuracy and strength of the core component, the gear ring, directly affect the performance and service life of the speed reducer.

Detailed implementation mode

[0019] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, a welding device for processing a planetary speed reducer disclosed by the present invention, the planetary speed reducer includes a housing 1 and a gear ring 2 installed inside the housing 1. The housing 1 is in a disc shape as a whole, and the gear ring 2 is installed inside the housing 1. Of course, the planetary speed reducer also includes other structures, such as a planetary carrier, planetary gears, and a sun gear, etc. Since the present invention is a device for assisting in the welding process between the gear ring 2 and the housing 1 of the planetary speed reducer, the above-mentioned devices are not proposed yet, and those skilled in the art should be able to understand.

[0020] Specifically, the welding device disclosed by the present invention includes a frame 3 for horizontally supporting the housing 1 and the gear ring 2, a rotational drive device 4 installed at the lower part of the frame 3, and a central rotating shaft 5 connected to the output end of the rotational drive device 4. By horizontally supporting the housing 1 and the gear ring 2, the influence of gravity on the molten pool is relatively small, and the welding device can more easily control the formation and quality of the weld seam. The rotational drive device 4 can directly adopt a reduction motor. By directly connecting the output end of the reduction motor to the central rotating shaft 5, it can be conveniently controlled. The rotational speed can be adjusted according to needs.

[0021] The central rotating shaft 5 of the present invention is simultaneously connected with a central gear 6, a welding assembly 7, and an outer circumferential cooling member 8. A bracket 9 is rotatably installed on the outer side of the central rotating shaft 5; a cooling tooth sac 10 is rotatably installed on the bracket 9. The cooling tooth sac 10 is made of a rubber material and has a certain ability of elastic deformation. The inner side of the cooling tooth sac 10 forms a cavity filled with a coolant, and the coolant can flow in the cavity. The tooth-shaped inner side of the cooling tooth sac 10 also forms a thin-walled cavity, so that better cooling can be achieved. The cooling tooth sac 10 can simultaneously mesh with the gear ring 2 and the central gear 6. The central gear 6 can drive the cooling tooth sac 10 to rotate around the axis of the central gear ring 2 while rotating itself.

[0022] The working principle and process of this invention application are as follows: After installing the housing 1 on the frame 3, install the gear ring 2 inside the housing 1, and then successively install the rotation driving device 4, the central rotating shaft 5, the central gear 6, the cooling tooth capsule 10, the welding assembly 7, and the outer circumferential cooling member 8. After debugging each part, rotate the central rotating shaft 5, and weld the connection part of the housing 1 and the gear ring 2 through the welding assembly 7. During the rotation of the central rotating shaft 5, the outer circumferential cooling member 8 and the cooling tooth capsule 10 rotate with the central rotating shaft 5 to cool the outer side and the inner side of the gear ring 2 respectively. While the above device can perform targeted cooling, it saves cooling costs and reduces the thermal deformation problem of the gear ring 2 during the welding process.

[0023] As a further improvement of the embodiment of the present invention, a hollow cooling shaft 11 is rotatably installed at the center of the cooling tooth capsule 10. The axis of the cooling shaft 11 is vertical. The lower end of the cooling shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the bracket 9. The inner side of the cooling shaft 11 is separated into a first infusion area 12 and a second infusion area 13 by a partition. The outer circumferential surface of the first infusion area 12 is provided with a first through hole 14 communicating with the cavity, and the outer circumferential surface of the second infusion area 13 is provided with a second through hole 15 communicating with the cavity. The upper ends of the first infusion area 12 and the second infusion area 13 are connected with a first infusion pipe 16 and a second infusion pipe 17 respectively. The ends of the first infusion pipe 16 and the second infusion pipe 17 away from the cooling shaft 11 are connected to a cooling box. The cooling box is not drawn here. Its main purpose is to provide a continuous supply of coolant to the inside of the cooling shaft 11. Those skilled in the art should understand that through the first infusion pipe 16 and the second infusion pipe 17, the flow of the coolant can be realized, and the cooling capacity of the cooling tooth capsule 10 can be increased.

[0024] In this embodiment, air bags 18 are installed on both the first infusion pipe 16 and the second infusion pipe 17. By installing the air bags 18, the flow of the coolant in the cavity can be accelerated. A rotating gear 19 is rotatably installed on the bracket 9 at the same time. A central column 20 is coaxially installed in the central hole of the rotating gear 19. The central column 20 is fixed to the bracket 9. A cam 21 is installed inside the rotating gear 19. The air bag 18 is located in the central hole of the rotating gear 19. When the bracket 9 rotates, it can drive the rotating gear 19 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating gear 19 can drive the cam 21 to compress the air bag 18, thereby providing power for the flow of the coolant. No additional power source is required in the whole process, reducing the energy consumption.

[0025] In this embodiment, a shaping gear 22 is rotatably installed on the bracket 9 at the same time. The shaping gear 22 meshes with both the gear ring 2 and the central gear 6. The shaping gear 22, the rotating gear 19, and the cooling tooth capsule 10 are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the central rotating shaft 5. The shape of the shaping gear 22 is adapted to the inner teeth shape of the gear ring 2. The shaping gear 22 is made of a hard material. When the inner teeth of the gear ring 2 have slight deformation, through the extrusion action of the shaping gear 22, the over-deformation of the inner teeth can be avoided.

[0026] In this embodiment, the outer side of the cooling shaft 11 is threadedly connected with a nut 23, and the nut 23 is located on the outer side of the cooling tooth sac 10. The cooling tooth sac 10 can be pressed downward by rotating the nut 23, so that the cooling tooth sac 10 is compressed. The contact area between the cooling tooth sac 10 and the gear ring 2 is increased as needed to improve the cooling capacity. The cooling tooth sac 10 is abutted against the nut 23 and the bracket 9 by the ball bearings 24 respectively, and the friction of the cooling tooth sac 10 when being pressed can be reduced by rolling.

[0027] In this embodiment, the outer circumferential cooling member 8 includes a first hoop 25, a first vertical beam 26, a first horizontal beam 27, a first slide rail 28, a first displacement driving device 29, a suspension rod 30 and a water outlet cylinder 31.

The water outlet cylinder 31 includes an inner cylinder 32 and an outer cylinder 33, the upper end of the inner cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to the suspension rod 30, a first water outlet hole 34 is opened on the surface of the inner cylinder 32, the outer cylinder 33 is rotatably installed on the outer side of the inner cylinder 32, a second water outlet hole 35 corresponding to the first water outlet hole 34 is opened on the outer cylinder 33, and the surface of the outer cylinder 33 contacts the outer side of the shell 1. When the outer circumferential cooling member 8 is rotating, the outer cylinder 33 rotates relative to the inner cylinder 32 under the action of friction. When the first water outlet 34 and the second water outlet 35 are aligned, the water in the inner cylinder 32 can overflow and coat the outer circumferential surface of the shell 1 for cooling. When the first water outlet 34 and the second water outlet 35 are staggered, the water can be prevented from flowing out. By alternately supplying and stopping water, it can adapt to the welding speed and meet the actual cooling needs.

[0028] In this embodiment, the welding assembly 7 includes a second hoop 36, a second vertical beam 37, a second cross beam 38, a second slide rail 39, a second displacement driving device 40, a welding head 41, a welding bracket 42, and a third displacement driving device 43. The second hoop 36 is connected to the central rotating shaft 5. The second hoop 36 is connected to the second vertical beam 37. The second vertical beam 37 is connected with a second cross beam 38. A second slide rail 39 is slidably fitted on the second cross beam 38.

The third displacement driving device 43 adopts a linear motor and can drive the welding head 41 to displace vertically, so as to weld the part to be welded.
