Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of speed reducers, and in particular to a face gear rotary speed reducer. Background Art
[0002] A face gear reducer is a device that uses a face gear transmission mechanism to achieve a deceleration function. Its core is to convert the high-speed rotation of the input shaft into a low-speed, high-torque output of the output shaft through the meshing of the face gear and the cylindrical gear or bevel gear. The reducer has the characteristics of compact structure, strong load-bearing capacity, and high transmission efficiency. It is widely used in industrial fields such as metallurgy, mining, lifting and transportation, and is particularly suitable for occasions requiring vertical or staggered shaft transmission.
[0003] Publication number CN118423428B discloses a reducer for solar photovoltaic tracking, which has the advantage that the sum of the angle between the outer end face of the first limiting protrusion and the outer end face of the second limiting protrusion and the arc angle of the limiting block is less than or equal to 170°, that is, the angle of the gear rotating from the hard limit of the first limiting protrusion and the limiting block to the hard limit of the second limiting protrusion and the limiting block is greater than or equal to 190°, so that the hard limit angle is above ±95°, and the difference between the arc angle of the gear ring and the arc angle of the worm is greater than or equal to 180°, that is, the tracking angle of the rotary reducer reaches ±90°, which can rotate the photovoltaic panel to be perpendicular to the ground and perpendicular to the ground. When the ground is clean, the snow on the photovoltaic panel surface can be cleared to the maximum extent, and the photovoltaic panels can be cleaned conveniently. At the same time, in some agricultural photovoltaic projects, the photovoltaic panels rotate perpendicular to the ground, which can maximize the use of land. This technology is transmitted through a worm. Although the worm gear transmission achieves a larger transmission ratio and direction self-locking, the relative sliding speed between the meshing gears is large. Long-term operation can easily cause serious wear of the tooth surface, a large amount of heat and high energy loss, resulting in low transmission efficiency; on the other hand, the worm gear processing technology is complex, the manufacturing cost is high, and the assembly accuracy requirements are strict, and the later maintenance is difficult. Therefore, this technology still has a certain room for modification. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a face gear rotary reducer in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art.

The face gear and the output flange are both provided with a number of second mounting holes, and are fixedly connected in the second mounting holes by second fixing bolts, which can evenly disperse the force between the face gear and the output flange, avoid local stress concentration, and make the two more stable when transmitting power and torque, reducing the generation of vibration and noise. The setting of the locating pins and holes facilitates the positioning and installation of the output flange and the face gear.
[0015] The above-mentioned face gear rotary reducer can be further configured as follows: a plurality of connection holes for connecting to the outside are opened on the surface of the output flange, and a dust ring is further provided between the output flange and the housing.
