TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of speed reduction motor, in particular to a high-efficiency heat dissipation worm gear and helical gear speed reduction motor for light load machinery. BACKGROUND
[0002] The worm gear and helical gear composite speed reduction motor is widely used in food packaging, logistics sorting, light conveying and general light load equipment due to its compact size, wide transmission ratio range and smooth output. The traditional product adopts the basic architecture of "integrated box + helical gear primary speed reduction + worm gear primary speed reduction", the inside of the box is mainly lubricated by immersion oil / splashing oil, the input end is commonly sealed by end cover + gasket or simple labyrinth seal, and the output end is commonly equipped with a skeleton oil seal; the worm is supported by two end bearings, and the meshing side gap and bearing pre-tightening are preliminarily set during assembly by adjusting pads or end face gaps.
[0003] In the prior art, the Chinese patent document with publication number CN109469710B proposes that the left and right fixed flanges can be fixed together by multiple fixed frames, multiple fixed threaded rods and multiple fixed nuts, so as to stably fix the motor on the right side wall of the shell, and the power of the motor is transmitted to the connecting gear through the transmission shaft. Since the connecting gear is engaged with the transmission gear, the worm can be driven to rotate in the case of different shafts of the motor and the worm, thereby improving the installation stability of the motor. However, like the traditional method, the existing engineering path usually focuses on expanding the speed reduction ratio coverage, improving the tooth surface hardness and machining precision, optimizing the box shape and rib plate to obtain universality and certain heat dissipation capacity. However, in the application scenarios of long-time continuous operation, frequent start-stop or higher environmental temperature, the problems of meshing heat, oil temperature peak, sealing leakage and assembly consistency still affect the efficiency and service life. At the same time, due to the relatively extensive organization of oil and gas channels, the heat-force coupling design is insufficient, the meshing center drifts with temperature rise, noise rises and maintenance cost is high, etc. Therefore, the industry needs to form systematic improvements in "side gap / pre-tightening quantifiable control, oil-gas channel collaborative heat dissipation, sealing maintainability and full attitude adaptability" to achieve higher transmission efficiency, thermal stability and full-life reliability in a compact volume.
