DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] In the specific implementation, refer to Figures 1-6 , In the embodiment, the inner ring gear 3 floating adjustment device of the planetary gear reducer comprises a shell 1, a circular mounting groove 2 is arranged on one side end surface of the shell 1, and the inner ring gear 3 is coaxially and movably arranged in the mounting groove 2, so that the inner ring gear 3 can move in the axial and radial directions and rotate around the axis by a preset displacement; an axial elastic positioning module 4 is arranged between the inner ring gear 3 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 2, which is used to limit the axial displacement of the inner ring gear 3 within the elastic range of the axial elastic positioning module 4; and a radial elastic positioning block 5 is arranged between the inner ring gear 3 and the circumferential side wall of the mounting groove 2, which is used to limit the radial displacement and circumferential rotation displacement of the inner ring gear 3 within the elastic range of the radial elastic positioning block 5.

[0016] Through the structural optimization of the axial elastic positioning module 4 and the radial elastic positioning block 5, when the inner ring gear 3 is subjected to sudden force change and reverse, the radial elastic positioning block 5 and the axial elastic positioning module 4 will elastically deform according to the force direction, preventing the inner ring gear 3 from producing abnormal noise due to rigid impact with the surrounding parts. At the same time, since the stiffness of the radial elastic positioning block 5 and the axial elastic positioning module 4 is adjustable, the inner ring gear 3 can always be in an adaptive state, which can reduce the machining precision of the planetary carrier assembly, the inner ring gear 3 and the shell 1, and the inner ring gear 3 and the planetary carrier assembly can still maintain the uniform load state without the problem of abnormal tooth fracture.

[0017] Specifically, a plurality of sliding grooves 201 extending along the axial direction of the mounting groove 2 are distributed around the circumferential side wall of the mounting groove 2, one end of the sliding groove 201 penetrates the end surface of the shell 1 to form an open end, and a plurality of outer teeth 301 corresponding to the sliding grooves 201 are distributed around the outer side wall of the inner ring gear 3. When the inner ring gear 3 is installed in the mounting groove 2, the outer teeth 301 are slid into the sliding grooves 201 from the open ends of the sliding grooves 201 and are gap-fitted between the groove walls of the sliding grooves 201, and the radial elastic positioning block 5 is installed in the gap between the groove walls of the sliding grooves 201 and the outer teeth 301 of the inner ring gear 3. A limiting groove 202 is also formed on the circumferential side wall of the mounting groove 2, which penetrates each sliding groove 201, and a positioning collar 203 is fixedly installed in the limiting groove 202, the inner side end face of the positioning collar 203 can be in close contact with the outer side end face of the outer teeth 301 of the inner tooth ring 3, for limiting the axial displacement of the inner tooth ring 3.

[0018] The axial elastic positioning module includes an inner side plate 401 and an outer side plate 402, and a spring 403 is arranged between the inner side plate 401 and the outer side plate 402, under the action of the spring 403, the inner side plate 401 is in close contact with the bottom wall of the mounting groove 2, and the outer side plate 402 is in close contact with the inner side end face of the inner tooth ring 3. The section of the inner side plate 401 is C-shaped, and the opening side faces the inner tooth ring 3, and the section of the outer side plate 402 is C-shaped opposite to the inner side plate 401, so that the two side flange plates of the outer side plate 402 are in close contact with and slidingly connected to the opposite sides of the two side flange plates of the inner side plate 401.

[0019] The radial elastic positioning block 5 includes first and second elastic plates 501 and 502 arranged in parallel, one end of the first and second elastic plates 501 and 502 on the same side is connected by a top plate 503, the other end is respectively bent in opposite directions, and then bent and extended in a direction parallel to the first and second elastic plates 501 and 502 to form a third elastic plate 504 parallel to the first elastic plate 501 and a fourth elastic plate 505 parallel to the second elastic plate 502, the distal ends of the third and fourth elastic plates 504 and 505 are bent and extended in a direction close to each other to form a fifth elastic plate 506 parallel to the top plate 503 and a sixth elastic plate 507, the distal ends of the fifth and sixth elastic plates 506 and 507 are bent and extended in a direction close to the top plate 503 to form a seventh elastic plate 508 perpendicular to the top plate 503 and an eighth elastic plate 509, and the distal ends of the seventh and eighth elastic plates 508 and 509 are bent and extended in opposite directions to form a ninth elastic plate 510 parallel to the top plate 503 and a tenth elastic plate 511. The first elastic plate 501 and the third elastic plate 504, the second elastic plate 502 and the fourth elastic plate 505, and the seventh elastic plate 508 and the eighth elastic plate 509 all have gaps therebetween, and the ninth elastic plate 510 and the tenth elastic plate 511 have gaps with the top plate 503. The outer teeth 301 of the inner tooth ring 3 are sleeved in a U-shaped groove formed by the first elastic plate 501, the top plate 503 and the second elastic plate 502, and the second elastic plate 502 and the fourth elastic plate 505 are in close contact with the opposite two side walls of the sliding groove 201, and the fifth elastic plate 506 and the sixth elastic plate 507 are in close contact with the groove bottom of the sliding groove 201.

[0020] In the implementation, the adjusting device of the application is characterized in that a radial elastic positioning block 5 is added between the inner ring gear 3 and the mounting groove 2 of the shell 1 in the radial direction, and an axial elastic positioning module 4 is added between the inner ring gear 3 and the shell 1 in the axial direction. The gap between the first elastic plate 501 and the second elastic plate 502 of the radial elastic positioning block 5 is smaller than the thickness of the outer tooth 301 of the inner ring gear 3. After the inner ring gear 3 is installed in the radial elastic positioning block 5, the inner ring gear 3 is fixed in the U-shaped groove formed between the first elastic plate 501, the second elastic plate 502 and the top plate 503 of the radial elastic positioning block 5. Since there is a gap between the first elastic plate 501 and the third elastic plate 504, between the second elastic plate 502 and the fourth elastic plate 505, and between the seventh elastic plate and the eighth elastic plate 509, an elastic deformation space is formed. According to the torque load of the inner ring gear 3, the radial elastic positioning block 5 will synchronously deform in the circumferential direction. After the torque of the inner ring gear 3 rebounds, the radial elastic positioning block 5 returns to the original state.

[0021] The radial elastic positioning block 5 is installed in the sliding groove 201, and the distance between the opposite two side walls of the sliding groove 201 is smaller than the distance between the third elastic plate 504 and the fourth elastic plate 505 of the radial elastic positioning block 5. At this time, the radial elastic positioning block 5 is in an elastic compression state, and the distance between the first elastic plate 501 and the third elastic plate 504 and the distance between the second elastic plate 502 and the fourth elastic plate 505 are reduced, so that the radial elastic positioning block 5 is better assembled in the sliding groove 201.

[0022] When the inner ring gear 3 has a radial force, it will have a floating demand. The tooth top position of the outer tooth 301 of the inner ring gear 3 will contact the top plate 503 of the radial elastic positioning block 5, so that the radial elastic positioning block 5 deforms elastically. At this time, the distance between the ninth elastic plate 510 and the fifth elastic plate 506, the distance between the tenth elastic plate 511 and the sixth elastic plate 507, and the distance between the ninth elastic plate 510 and the tenth elastic plate 511 and the top plate 503 are reduced. At the same time, since the fifth elastic plate 506 and the sixth elastic plate 507 are in contact with the groove bottom of the sliding groove 201, the radial elastic positioning block 5 will synchronously deform in the circumferential direction. The deformation of the radial elastic positioning block 5 in the radial and circumferential directions ensures the radial and rotational positioning of the inner ring gear 3. Since the inner ring gear 3 floats by elastic deformation during operation, knocking noise problems will not occur.

[0023] The inner gear ring 3 and the mounting groove 2 of the shell 1 are axially increased with the axial elastic positioning module 4, which is composed of the outer side plate 402, the spring 403 and the inner side plate 401. The axial limiting and fixing between the inner gear ring 3 and the shell 1 is realized through the inner gear ring 3 positioning ring 203. In the assembled state, the distance between the limiting groove 202 on the shell 1 and the outer side plate 402 of the axial elastic positioning module 4 is less than the sum of the distance from the inner side plate 401 of the axial elastic positioning module 4 to the outer side plate 402 and the thickness of the inner gear ring 3. At this time, the axial elastic positioning module 4 is in a compressed state, but it is not compressed to the limit position. If the axial stiffness of the axial elastic positioning module 4 is too small, the number of springs 403 can be increased to solve the problem. At this time, the assembly stability of the inner gear ring 3 is better, and there is no assembly gap in the axial direction. When the inner gear ring 3 needs to be axially floated in the direction close to the shell 1 under the axial force, the inner side end surface of the inner gear ring 3 contacts the outer side plate 402 of the axial elastic positioning module 4. Under the axial force, the spring 403 is elastically deformed, and the force of the inner gear ring 3 is transmitted to the inner side plate 401. The inner side plate 401 transmits the force to the shell 1. When the axial force of the inner gear ring 3 is removed, the axial elastic positioning module 4 returns to the initial assembly state. Since the inner gear ring 3 is always in the assembly pre-tightening state, and has a certain axial elastic movement range, the problems of uneven load and knocking noise of gear engagement will not occur.
