Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transmission devices, and in particular to a cycloidal speed reducer for reducing bushing stress. Background Art

[0002] Industrial robots provide joint motion for joint structures with multiple degrees of freedom of joints through drive motors, servo motors, etc. In order to obtain high output torque from a servo motor or the like at the joint of the robot, a speed reducer is provided at the output end of the servo motor to increase the torque. Industrial robots adopt a harmonic drive method or a cycloidal drive method to decelerate the whole or a part of the robot. Among them, the cycloidal drive method is widely used in various industrial fields. In the cycloidal drive method, power is transmitted from the input shaft to the output shaft by a structure in which the external teeth of the cycloidal disk mesh with the internal teeth of the pinwheel housing and rotate, so that large torque transmission can be achieved, and a large reduction ratio can be formed, that is, the cycloidal speed reducer for reducing bushing stress mentioned at present.

[0003] The cycloidal speed reducer for reducing bushing stress is also called a cycloidal pinwheel speed reducer, which is a novel transmission device that applies the planetary transmission principle and adopts cycloidal pin tooth meshing. Due to its excellent transmission performance and high reduction ratio and other characteristics, it is widely used in drive or deceleration transmission operations in various industries. The cycloidal speed reducer is usually configured to use two or more cycloidal disks and form disks in opposite positions, and is configured so that the load does not deviate to one side.

[0004] The weakness (the position with the maximum stress) of the cycloidal speed reducer is mainly located in the contact area between the mounting hole of the cycloidal gear disk and the bushing. In theory, it is all line contact, but actually the currently used bushings are regular cylindrical shapes. As Figure 1 shown, the contact position between the bushing and the mounting hole is basically in area A, that is, stress concentration due to edge contact will occur. In addition, the other bushings in the circumferential direction also have uneven contact conditions, which will make the stress concentration condition more obvious and easily induce fatigue cracks. Therefore, it is necessary to disclose a cycloidal speed reducer for reducing bushing stress to overcome the above defects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention overcomes the disadvantages in the prior art and provides a cycloidal speed reducer for reducing bushing stress. A wavy bushing is provided at the mounting holes of the bolt and the first cycloidal disk and the second cycloidal disk, so that the two form multi-point discrete contact, so as to slow down the stress concentration phenomenon between the wavy bushing and the inner wall of the mounting hole and extend the service life.

The outer surface of the corrugated bushing has a periodic undulating profile, forming multi-point discrete contact with the inner wall of the installation hole to slow down the stress concentration phenomenon between the corrugated bushing and the inner wall of the installation hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the needle hub is rotationally matched with the flange seat and the gland through a thin crossed roller bearing.

[0008] Furthermore, deep groove bearings are arranged between the outer peripheral wall of the eccentric camshaft and the flange seat and the gland.

[0009] Furthermore, first oil seals are arranged between the eccentric camshaft and the gland and the flange seat.

[0010] Furthermore, second oil seals are arranged between the needle hub and the gland and the flange seat.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention provides a cycloid reduction device for reducing the stress of the bushing.

[0014] The following is a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustrating and explaining the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0015] As Figure 2 shown in Figure 6 the present invention claims a cycloid speed reducer for reducing the stress of the bushing, including: an eccentric camshaft 1, with a first cycloid disk 2 and a second cycloid disk 3 having a phase difference of 180° coaxially arranged at both ends. A needle roller 4 is arranged between the outer peripheral wall of the eccentric camshaft 1 and the inner walls of the first cycloid disk 2 and the second cycloid disk 3. The needle roller 4 forms a multi-point contact force transmission path with the cycloid wheel. Through the rolling contact of the needle roller 4, the high-speed rotational motion of the eccentric camshaft 1 is transmitted to the first cycloid disk 2 and the second cycloid disk 3 to rotate.

[0016] The outer peripheries of the first cycloid disk 2 and the second cycloid disk 3 are provided with cycloid teeth, which form a one-tooth difference internal meshing reduction mechanism with the needle teeth annularly distributed on the inner wall of the needle hub 7; the cycloid disk generates a compound motion under the action of the eccentric camshaft 1: both revolving around the axis of the eccentric camshaft 1 (eccentric motion) and rotating in the reverse direction around its own axis due to the tooth profile constraint; the continuous multi-point contact between the needle teeth and the cycloid teeth makes the load distribution more uniform, which helps to improve the transmission efficiency. The above is also the prior art of the cycloid speed reducer, which will not be elaborated here.

[0017] It further includes a flange seat 5 and a gland 6. Both the first cycloid disk 2 and the second cycloid disk 3 are located between the flange seat 5 and the gland 6. The needle hub 7 is rotatably arranged outside the flange seat 5 and the gland 6. Specifically, the needle hub 7 is rotationally matched with the flange seat 5 and the gland 6 through a thin crossed roller bearing 10.

[0018] Deep groove bearings 11 are provided between the outer peripheral wall of the eccentric camshaft 1 and both the flange seat 5 and the gland 6. In order to enhance the structural sealing performance, first oil seals 12 are provided between the eccentric camshaft 1 and both the gland 6 and the flange seat 5; second oil seals 13 are provided between the pin hub 7 and both the gland 6 and the flange seat 5. Through the arrangement of the first oil seals 12 and the second oil seals 13, it is possible to prevent the lubricating oil from leaking internally, isolating the components that need to be lubricated in the transmission components from the output components.

[0019] Mounting holes 201 are provided through the first cycloid disk 2 and the second cycloid disk 3 along the thickness direction. Bolts 9 are screwed in from one side of the gland 6, penetrate through the mounting holes 201 and are connected to the flange seat 5; thereby connecting the first cycloid disk 2 and the second cycloid disk 3 to the gland 6 and the flange seat 5 as a whole.

[0020] The main design point of this cycloid speed reducer is that it has a corrugated bushing 8. The corrugated bushing 8 is sleeved on the bolt 9 corresponding to the mounting hole 201, and Figure 5 It can be seen that the outer surface of the corrugated bushing 8 has a periodic undulating contour, so that it can form multi-point discrete contact with the inner wall of the mounting hole 201. As Figure 6 shown, the contact position between the corrugated bushing 8 and the mounting hole 201 of the cycloid disk is the B area, which is located in the middle position of the mounting hole 201, with multi-point contact, so as to slow down the stress concentration phenomenon between the corrugated bushing 8 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 201, realizing the optimized reconstruction of the stress distribution, effectively suppressing the stress concentration phenomenon in the traditional continuous contact mode, and effectively extending the service life of the product.

[0021] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
