Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gearboxes, and more specifically, to a lightweight output gear shaft. Background Technology Yaw and pitch gearboxes typically employ planetary transmissions. The output end is supported and positioned by two back-to-back tapered roller bearings, with the output shaft connected to the planetary carrier via external or internal splines. Specifically, the two bearings are directly mounted on the output shaft and preloaded using round nuts. The overall length of the output assembly is determined by Ls + L1 + Ln + Lb + L2. Among these, the spline fit length Ls and the bearing pair width Lb (the widths of the two bearings + the bearing span) affect the gearbox's reliability. Due to limitations in spline and bearing bore dimensions, these lengths are generally quite long. The remaining dimensions—spline relief groove width L1, round nut width Ln, and seal width L2—do not affect the gearbox's strength but increase the height and weight of the output assembly.

[0002] In summary, the output gear shafts of existing technologies are generally large in size and weight, and have high costs. Summary of the Invention

[0026] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-14 This embodiment provides a lightweight output gear shaft, including: The shaft body 100 and gear body 200 are connected. The end of the shaft body 100 away from the gear body 200 is set as the first end face 101, and the end of the gear body 200 away from the shaft body 100 is set as the second end face 201. The outer diameter of the first end face 101 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second end face 201. A weight reduction hole 300 is provided on the second end face 201. The cross-sectional profile of the weight reduction hole 300 is circular. The diameter of the end of the weight reduction hole 300 located on the second end face 201 is D, (Df-7M)≤D≤(Df-1.5M), where Df is the root circle diameter of the gear body 200 and M is the gear module of the gear body 200.

[0028] As described above, the lightweight output gear shaft provided in this embodiment has at least the following advantages: The lightweight output gear shaft includes a connected shaft body 100 and a gear body 200. By creating a weight-reducing hole 300 on the second end face 201 of the gear body 200 away from the shaft body 100, the weight of the output gear shaft can be effectively reduced, saving materials and lowering manufacturing costs. Simultaneously, the diameter of the end of the weight-reducing hole 300 located on the second end face 201 is D, where (Df-7M)≤D≤(Df-1.5M), where Df is the root circle diameter of the gear body 200, and M is the gear module of the gear body 200. In other words, a well-designed end diameter of the weight-reducing hole 300 ensures sufficient strength of the shaft body 100 while reducing weight, resulting in a strong load-bearing capacity, stable and reliable support for the output gear shaft, and safe and reliable operation of the entire gearbox.

[0029] It should be understood that the output gear shaft can be configured as a single-piece structure, that is, the shaft body 100 and the gear body 200 are a single-piece structure, which facilitates processing and manufacturing, is suitable for mass production, and has low processing and manufacturing costs. At the same time, it has high structural strength and long service life.

[0030] The following embodiments illustrate the details of the lightweight output gear shaft of this application by way of example.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In one embodiment, when the shaft body 100 is configured as an elongated shaft, it can be configured as a stepped structure. For example, the shaft body 100 includes a first shaft segment 110, a second shaft segment 120, and a third shaft segment 130 connected in sequence. The first shaft segment 110, the second shaft segment 120, and the third shaft segment 130 are all shaft segments of equal diameter, with their diameters increasing sequentially. The gear body 200 is located on the end face of the third shaft segment 130 away from the second shaft segment 120. The end face of the first shaft segment 110 away from the second shaft segment 120 is the first end face 101. Simultaneously, an external spline 140 can be provided on the outer circumferential surface of the first shaft segment 110. Furthermore, bearings for supporting the shaft body 100 can be provided on both the first shaft segment 110 and the third shaft segment 130.

[0032] Optionally, a weight-reducing hole 300 is provided on the second end face 201 of the gear body 200. The weight-reducing hole 300 can be a blind hole. Furthermore, the weight-reducing hole 300 may include a first variable diameter hole section 310, one end of which is located on the second end face 201. The diameter of the first variable diameter hole section 310 gradually decreases in the direction from the second end face 201 to the first end face 101. The port of the first variable diameter hole section 310 is located on the second end face 201. The longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the first variable diameter hole section 310 is a first conical surface.

[0033] Meanwhile, the diameter of the port of the first variable diameter bore section 310 located on the second end face 201 is D, (Df-7M)≤D≤(Df-1.5M), where Df is the root circle diameter of the gear body 200 and M is the gear module of the gear body 200. The diameter of the port of the first variable diameter bore section 310 away from the second end face 201 is D1, D1≤(df1-2m1), where df1 is the root circle diameter of the external spline 140 and m1 is the module of the external spline 140. Since the weight reduction hole 300 is a blind hole, the end of the weight reduction hole 300 away from the second end face 201 has a distance t1 from the first end face 101, t1≥5mm. This design can reduce the weight of the output gear shaft while ensuring the structural strength of the gear body 200.

[0034] Furthermore, the central angle of the first conical surface is θ1; ; In the formula, Db is the diameter of the end where the shaft body 100 connects to the gear body 200, that is, Db is the outer diameter of the third shaft segment 130; L1 is the axial dimension of the gear body 200, that is, the distance between the end face of the third shaft segment 130 away from the second shaft segment 120 and the second end face 201. This design can reduce weight, facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the output gear shaft, reduce processing and manufacturing costs, and ensure that the output gear shaft has sufficient structural strength.

[0035] Optionally, the weight-reducing hole 300 may further include a constant-diameter section connecting the first variable-diameter hole section 310. In some embodiments, the diameter of the constant-diameter section may be equal to the diameter of the port of the weight-reducing hole 300 away from the second end face 201.

[0036] In another embodiment, optionally, the shaft body 100 can be a short and thick equal-diameter shaft, and an external spline 140 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the end of the shaft body 100 away from the gear body 200. In this case, the weight reduction hole 300 can be set as a through hole, that is, the end of the weight reduction hole 300 away from the second end face 201 can extend to the first end face 101.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 5For example, in one embodiment, optionally, the weight-reducing hole 300 further includes a second variable-diameter hole section 320 communicating with the first variable-diameter hole section 310. The diameter of the second variable-diameter hole section 320 gradually increases in the direction from the second end face 201 to the first end face 101, and the end of the second variable-diameter hole section 320 away from the second end face 201 is located on the first end face 101. The longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the second variable-diameter hole section 320 is a second conical surface, and the central angle of the second conical surface is θ2. ; In the formula, L2 is the axial dimension of the shaft body 100, that is, L2 is the sum of the axial dimensions of the first shaft segment 110, the second shaft segment 120 and the third shaft segment 130. This design can reduce weight and facilitate the forming of the weight-reducing hole 300, thereby reducing the processing and manufacturing cost of the output gear shaft, and also ensuring that the output gear shaft has sufficient structural strength.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 6 In another embodiment, optionally, the weight-reducing hole 300 further includes a constant-diameter hole section 330 communicating with the first variable-diameter hole section 310 and a second variable-diameter hole section 320 communicating with the constant-diameter hole section 330. That is, in the axial direction of the shaft body 100, the weight-reducing hole 300 includes the first variable-diameter hole section 310, the constant-diameter hole section 330, and the second variable-diameter hole section 320 connected in sequence. The length of the constant-diameter hole section 330 is t2, where t2 ≥ 5 mm. The constant-diameter hole section 330 can be a smooth through hole or a threaded hole, capable of screwing in a magnetic plug. Furthermore, the design of the constant-diameter hole section 330 facilitates the timely discharge of quenching liquid during heat treatment, improving the heat treatment effect. The diameter of the constant-diameter hole section 330 is smaller than the diameter of the first variable-diameter hole section 310 and the second variable-diameter hole section 320.

[0039] It should be noted that the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the second variable diameter hole section 320 is a second conical surface, and the central angle of the second conical surface is θ2. ; In the formula, L2 is the axial dimension of the shaft body 100, that is, L2 is the sum of the axial dimensions of the first shaft segment 110, the second shaft segment 120 and the third shaft segment 130. This design can reduce weight and facilitate the forming of the weight-reducing hole 300, thereby reducing the processing and manufacturing cost of the output gear shaft, and also ensuring that the output gear shaft has sufficient structural strength.

That is, a spline hole 102 is provided on the first end face 101 of the shaft body 100 away from the gear body 200, and an internal spline 150 is formed on the hole wall of the spline hole 102.

It should be understood that under the condition that the shaft body 100 is a shaft of constant diameter, dw=Db, that is, both dw and Db represent the outer diameter of the shaft body 100.

[0043] Due to the design of the spline hole 102, it occupies part of the internal space of the shaft body 100. At this time, the end of the second variable diameter hole section 320 away from the first variable diameter hole section 310 is connected to the spline hole 102. The end of the second variable diameter hole section 320 away from the first variable diameter hole section 310 has a gap with the first end face 101, which is the axial dimension of the spline hole 102.
