Description

[0002] Gear transmission system as the core basic components in the industrial field, its performance directly determines the precision, efficiency and reliability of high-end equipment.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, the transmission device of the present invention includes a gearbox 1 and a drive assembly 2, a composite buffer assembly 3, and an adaptive phase adjustment assembly 4 sequentially integrated within the gearbox. The drive assembly 2 is located on the input interface side of the gearbox 1 and includes a drive disk 21, a driven disk 22 arranged parallel to each other, and a magnetic levitation module 23 connecting the drive disk 21 and the driven disk 22. The drive disk 21 is connected to an external motor, and the driven disk 22 is connected to the gearbox 1 via a drive output shaft 24. The magnetic levitation module 23 generates a magnetic levitation effect between the drive disk 21 and the driven disk. The two components generate a repulsive force to maintain a non-contact working air gap. The composite buffer assembly 3 includes a composite gear structure 31 connected to the drive output shaft 24. The composite gear structure 31 automatically adjusts the phase of the output vibration according to the transmitted torque value. The adaptive phase adjustment assembly 4 is located on the power output side of the composite buffer assembly 3 and includes two parallel transmission paths, a first transmission path and a second transmission path. The first transmission path provides a reference vibration phase, and the input end of the second transmission path is connected to the output end of the composite gear structure 31. The output ends of the first transmission path and the second transmission path merge.

[0022] This embodiment integrates the three major functional components of drive, buffer, and phase adjustment into a unified gearbox 1, resulting in a compact structure that avoids the problems of long axial dimensions, difficulty in counterweighting, and significant efficiency loss caused by traditional multi-system series connection. Specifically, the input shaft of the drive disk 21 is directly connected to the output shaft of an external motor via a flange or coupling, while the drive output shaft 24 of the driven disk is supported by a high-precision bearing on the end cover at the input end or the inner wall of the gearbox. The composite buffer component 3 is located in the central part of the gearbox 1, and the adaptive phase adjustment component 4 is located at the rear of the gearbox. A control cabinet is installed on the outside or top of the gearbox 1, containing a control unit that is connected to various sensors and actuators inside the gearbox via a high-strength aviation connector.

[0023] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the magnetic levitation module 23 includes a first permanent magnet ring 231 and a second permanent magnet ring 232 respectively installed on the opposite faces of the drive disk 21 and the driven disk 22. The polarities of the opposite faces of the first permanent magnet ring 231 and the second permanent magnet ring 232 are the same. Multiple drive pins 25 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the drive disk 21. The driven disk 22 is provided with guide grooves 26 corresponding to each drive pin 25. The guide grooves 26 extend along the circumference of the driven disk 22. A first electromagnet 27 is provided inside each drive pin 25, and a second electromagnet 28 is provided on the inner wall of the guide groove 26. The polarities of the opposing surfaces of the first electromagnet 27 and the second electromagnet 28 are opposite. The first electromagnet 27 and the second electromagnet 28 are electrically connected to the control system. The guide groove 26 includes an inlet section for guiding the drive pin 25 in, a bearing section for bearing thrust, and an outlet section for retracting the drive pin 25, arranged sequentially. The second electromagnet 28 is located in the bearing section. The profile of the bearing section is an Archimedean spiral or its approximate curve. The profiles of the inlet section and the outlet section are involutes or higher-order polynomial curves. The inlet of the inlet section and the outlet of the outlet section are both flared. The bearing section has a small clearance fit with the drive pin 25, and the inlet section and the outlet section have a larger clearance fit with the drive pin 25.

[0024] In this embodiment, the first permanent magnet ring 231 and the second permanent magnet ring 232 are respectively embedded in the opposite surfaces of the drive disk 21 and the driven disk 22. Since their opposite surfaces have the same polarity, they can generate a strong repulsive magnetic force. This magnetic force can overcome the gravity and axial magnetic pull of the driven disk assembly, so that the drive disk 21 and the driven disk 22 can maintain a preset non-contact working air gap. After this stage is completed, the two disks are in a suspended state without physical contact. This method eliminates the contact wear, friction wear and solid friction vibration caused by gear meshing, spline connection and other traditional mechanical connections.

[0025] Specifically, when the external motor drives the drive disk 21 to rotate, the drive pin shaft 25 fixed thereto rotates synchronously. At this time, the drive pin shaft 25 enters the guiding chute 26 and enters the bearing section through the guiding section. In this section, the control unit supplies currents with a specific time sequence to the first electromagnet 27 and the second electromagnet 28, so that opposite magnetic fields are generated between their opposing surfaces, thereby forming a strong electromagnetic force, making the drive pin shaft 25 closely adhere to the working surface of the bearing section, thereby generating a huge tangential thrust, pushing the driven disk 22 to rotate around its axis by an accurate angle. After the thrust action is completed, the drive pin shaft 25 enters the exit section, and the control unit cuts off the current of this group of electromagnets, the electromagnetic force disappears, and the drive pin shaft 25 smoothly exits from this section under the action of rotational centrifugal force and the subsequent pushing of the pin shafts, completing a working cycle. As the drive disk 21 continuously rotates, multiple drive pin shafts 25 evenly distributed thereon sequentially and cyclically experience the above "entry - propulsion - exit" process. Each drive pin shaft 25 provides a pulsed electromagnetic thrust within the bearing section. The continuous action of numerous drive pin shafts 25 integrates the pulsed thrust into a stable and continuous torque, driving the driven disk 22 and the drive output shaft 24 fixedly connected thereto to achieve continuous rotational motion. By precisely regulating the energizing current, time sequence, and duration of each pair of electromagnets, accurate and stepless control of the output speed and torque can be achieved.

[0026] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the composite buffer assembly 3 further includes an elastic buffer unit 32. The elastic buffer unit 32 includes an input flange 321, an output flange 322, and a plurality of disc spring groups disposed between the input flange 321 and the output flange 32, the input flange 321 is connected to the drive output shaft 24 of the driven disk 22, each of the disc spring groups is evenly distributed circumferentially, each disc spring group is composed of at least two disc springs 323 in an opposed combination, and the convex side of the disc spring group faces the input flange 321.

[0027] In this embodiment, the disc springs 323 are stacked in an opposed combination (i.e., multiple disc springs are superposed in the same direction), forming a non - linear stiffness characteristic. In the low - load range (F < F), its stiffness K1 is relatively low, which can effectively filter out minor vibrations. In the medium - load range (F1 < F <F2), its stiffness K2 gradually increases to about 2 - 3 times of K1, smoothly承接主要工作扭矩; 在高载荷或冲击载荷区间(F>F2),其刚度K3急剧增大,接近刚性支撑,为系统提供过载保护,该设计使传动装置能自动适应从空载到过载的宽范围工况;该蝶形弹簧组可以封装在一个独立的单元内,通过输入法兰3 and输出法兰 连接与前后部分的组件连接,而蝶形弹簧323的两端则通过螺栓分别与输入法兰321和输出法兰322连接。

[0028] It should be noted that there is an unclear expression "平稳承接主要工作扭矩" in the original text which is retained as it is for translation. You may want to check and correct it in the original content for a more accurate translation.In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the composite buffer assembly 3 further includes a magnetorheological auxiliary unit 33. The magnetorheological auxiliary unit 33 includes a coaxially arranged driving disk 331, an auxiliary driven disk 332, and an excitation coil 333. The driving disk 331 is connected to the output flange 322 via a composite input shaft 335. An auxiliary output shaft 334 is connected to the auxiliary driven disk 332. The gap between the driving disk 331 and the auxiliary driven disk 332 is filled with magnetorheological fluid. The excitation coil 333 is wound around the inner wall of the gearbox 1 and is arranged opposite to the gap. The composite gear structure 31 includes a floating gear sleeve. 311 and multiple elastic supports 313; the floating toothed sleeve 311 is disposed on the outer periphery of the auxiliary driven disk 332, and a toothed ring is provided on its outer periphery. Multiple axially evenly distributed axial fitting grooves 312 are provided on the outer periphery of the auxiliary driven disk 332 and the inner periphery of the floating toothed sleeve 311. The axial fitting grooves 312 on the auxiliary driven disk 332 and the axial fitting grooves 312 on the floating toothed sleeve 311 are arranged opposite to each other, and an installation cavity is formed between the two axial fitting grooves 312 arranged opposite to each other; each elastic support 313 is disposed in each of the installation cavities, and its two ends are respectively interference-fitted with the two axial fitting grooves 312.

[0029] In this embodiment, the traditional passive buffer is upgraded to an active intelligent buffer by using the magnetorheological auxiliary unit 33. By changing the current of the excitation coil 333, the shear strength of the magnetorheological fluid can be changed instantaneously (at the millisecond level), thereby steplessly and precisely adjusting the equivalent stiffness and damping of the transmission system.

[0030] Specifically, during operation, power is transmitted to the driving disc 331 via the output flange 322 and the composite input shaft 335, causing it to rotate. Since the space between the driving disc 331 and the auxiliary driven disc 332 is filled with magnetorheological fluid and has a small gap, the rotation of the driving disc 331 drives the auxiliary driven disc 332 to rotate synchronously through the shearing action of the magnetorheological fluid. At zero magnetic field, the magnetorheological fluid exhibits Newtonian fluid characteristics with low viscosity, resulting in a certain slip between the two discs, making the transmission "soft" and effectively absorbing high-frequency vibrations. After a magnetic field is applied, when the control unit supplies current to the excitation coil 333, the coil generates a magnetic field. This magnetic field passes perpendicularly through the working gap between the driving disc 331 and the auxiliary driven disc 332, instantly (millisecond level) magnetizing the magnetorheological fluid within the gap. The magnetic particles within it arrange themselves into a chain-like structure, causing a sharp increase in the fluid's shear yield strength, thereby "locking" the two discs together. It transmits a huge torque; when the auxiliary driven disk 332 rotates, it squeezes the elastic support 313 through the axial fitting groove 312 on its outer periphery. The elastic support 313 undergoes shear deformation, which in turn drives the floating gear sleeve 311 to rotate. Finally, the power is output through the gear ring on the outer periphery of the floating gear sleeve 311. When the transmitted torque increases, the gear meshing force increases. This force acts on the floating gear sleeve 311, attempting to make it deflect slightly circumferentially relative to the auxiliary driven disk 332. Since the two are connected by the fitting groove and the elastic support 313, this circumferential deflection tendency is transformed into squeezing and shearing of the elastic support 313, causing it to deform. This forces the floating gear sleeve 311 to produce a radial displacement proportional to the torque value. This radial displacement changes the pressure angle and meshing position of the gear teeth on the floating gear sleeve 311, which is equivalent to a continuous change in the phase of its output vibration, either leading or lagging.

[0031] Specifically, to maximize the magnetorheological effect, radial, parallel grooves or toothed slots are machined on the working surfaces of the driving disk 331 and the auxiliary driven disk 332. These toothed slots include radial straight toothed slots (similar to a flat gear with extremely fine teeth), herringbone-shaped slots, or spiral toothed slots. The gap between the driving disk 331 and the auxiliary driven disk 332 is sealed by a high-performance rotary shaft seal to prevent leakage of the magnetorheological fluid. This seal can be a magnetorheological fluid seal or a plug seal. Part of the driving disk 331, the seal, and part of the auxiliary driven disk 332 are integrated into a housing. One or more annular grooves are machined on the housing, and the excitation coil 333 is located in the annular groove. When current passes through the coil, the magnetic field forms a loop through the housing made of soft magnetic material. The magnetic field passes perpendicularly through the housing, the driving disk 331, the working gap of the magnetorheological fluid, the driven disk, and the housing, forming a complete closed magnetic circuit. In addition, the aforementioned composite input shaft 335 and auxiliary output shaft 334 are both mounted on the inner wall of the gearbox 1 by bearings.

[0032] Specifically, the axial fitting groove 312 on the floating sleeve and the auxiliary driven disk 332 not only provides installation and limiting space for the elastic support 313, but also prevents relative rotation between the floating sleeve and the auxiliary driven disk 332, ensuring that they rotate synchronously as a whole; wherein, the elastic support 313 has a rectangular, circular or I-shaped cross section, and the material is an engineering elastomer with nonlinear stiffness characteristics such as polyurethane or nitrile rubber, which is pressed into the cavity through an interference fit.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figures 5-7 As shown, an angular contact bearing 42 is connected to the auxiliary output shaft 334. The outer ring of the angular contact bearing 42 and the bearing seat hole form a second transmission path through clearance fit. The first transmission path is an input gear 41 that meshes with the gear ring of the floating gear sleeve 311. The input gear 41 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the gearbox 1 through a transmission shaft 43. A composite gear 44 is connected to the end of both the transmission shaft 43 and the auxiliary output shaft 334. The composite gear 44 meshes with the output gear 45. The output gear 45 is installed on the inner wall of the gearbox 1 through a final output shaft 46. The phase difference between the two composite gears 44 is 180°.

[0034] In this embodiment, the phase difference of the vibration excitation of the two synthetic gears 44 is 180°. When the meshing force of the synthetic gear 44 on the first transmission path reaches its peak upward, the meshing force of the other synthetic gear 44 reaches its peak downward. These two forces, which are opposite in direction and equal in magnitude, act on the output gear 45 simultaneously, and their radial force components cancel each other out, thereby achieving the annihilation of the source of vibration. This also explains that although gears A and B (i.e., the two synthetic gears 44) are in opposite directions, due to the existence of the phase difference, their torque action on the output gear 45 is staggered in time, that is, the peak torques of gears A and B are completely staggered: when gear A pushes the output gear 45, gear B is in the minimum thrust state, and vice versa. In this way, the net torque remains relatively constant, thereby driving the output gear 45 to rotate smoothly in one direction. Of course, the other end of the final output shaft 46 can be connected to the wave generator of the harmonic gear reducer to provide the final high reduction ratio, reduce the speed to the required operating speed, and output a huge torque.

[0035] Specifically, the auxiliary output shaft 334 is supported within the gearbox 1 by an angular contact bearing 42. A bearing housing is installed on the inner wall of the gearbox 1, and the outer ring of the angular contact bearing 42 has a small clearance fit with the bearing housing bore, allowing the outer ring to slide slightly radially within the bore. When a change in torque causes a change in the meshing force of the composite gear 44, the force acts on the floating gear sleeve 311. This force attempts to push the entire floating gear sleeve 311, the auxiliary output shaft 334, and the auxiliary driven disc 332 to move radially. Because of the clearance between the outer ring of the angular contact bearing 42 and the bearing housing bore, the frictional force caused by the preload can be overcome, allowing the outer ring to move a small distance within the bore, thus achieving the desired displacement. After the displacement is completed, the strong axial stiffness of the angular contact bearing 42 still firmly locks the axial position of the auxiliary output shaft 334, ensuring that the gear does not axially move.

[0036] In some embodiments, a torque sensor 6 is installed on the drive output shaft 24, and a vibration sensor 5 is provided on the inner wall of the gearbox 1 near the output interface. The torque sensor 6, the vibration sensor 5, and the excitation coil 333 are all electrically connected to the control unit. The torque sensor 6 monitors the torque value in real time and uses it as a core parameter. On the one hand, it is used to control the magnetorheological fluid current, and on the other hand, it sends the torque value to the control unit. The control unit calculates the required ideal phase compensation amount according to the "torque-phase" mapping table. This compensation target value is simultaneously sent to the drive assembly 2 for coarse adjustment and to the compound gear structure 31 for fine adjustment. The three work together to ensure that the target is ultimately achieved.
