Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of worm gear reducers, in particular to a worm gear reducer. Background Art
[0002] A worm gear reducer is a power transmission mechanism that uses a gear speed converter to reduce the number of revolutions of the motor to the desired number of revolutions and obtain a larger torque. The motor transmits power to the worm through the shaft, and the worm and the worm wheel rotate and transmit power through meshing. When the motor drives the worm to rotate, the rotation of the worm will cause the rotation of the worm wheel. The rotation of the worm wheel will change the speed of the worm, reducing the speed of the worm, thereby achieving a deceleration effect. The meshing ratio of the worm and the worm wheel determines the degree of deceleration, and the number of teeth on the worm wheel and the number of helical lines of the worm determine the transmission ratio. In addition, the worm gear reducer can either allow the worm wheel to drive the worm to rotate to decelerate, or allow the worm to drive the worm wheel to increase speed, and has a unidirectional transmission performance.
[0003] The worm gear reducer adopts the meshing design of worm and worm wheel, which makes the overall structure relatively simple and easy to install and maintain. Due to the transmission principle of the worm gear reducer, its transmission efficiency is high and efficient power transmission can be achieved. The worm gear reducer can withstand large loads and is suitable for various heavy-load working occasions.
[0004] However, the wear of the worm bearing will increase the friction between the worm and the turbine, generate a lot of heat, increase the oil temperature, dilute the oil, thereby reducing the sealing effect of the seal and causing oil leakage. Once the oil leaks, the lubrication effect will be reduced, which will increase the friction of the mechanical equipment and cause gear wear and bearing defects, which will not only shorten the service life of the reducer, but also affect the production effect.
