Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of reducer equipment, and more specifically to a novel ball reducer. Background technology:
[0002] The cycloid reducer is a novel transmission device that uses the planetary transmission principle and cycloid pin gear meshing. The entire transmission device of the cycloid pinwheel reducer can be divided into three parts: input part, reduction part, and output part.
[0003] A double eccentric sleeve offset by 180° is installed on the input shaft. Two roller bearings called swing arms are installed on the eccentric sleeve to form an H mechanism. The center holes of the two cycloid wheels are the raceways of the swing arm bearings on the eccentric sleeve. The cycloid wheel meshes with a group of circularly arranged needle teeth on the needle gear to form an internal meshing reduction mechanism with a tooth difference of one tooth.
[0004] However, the existing cycloid reducer generally uses a needle roller for transmission, and the contact between the needle roller and the needle teeth is a line contact, which increases the contact area, the friction force, and the noise. Utility model content:
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a novel ball reducer which adopts upper ball and lower ball transmission, which is point contact, has a small contact area, low noise, and reduces friction, thereby reducing the input torque.

[0011] The upper rolling balls are located between the outer side wall of the first annular sleeve and the corresponding upper arc groove, and the lower rolling balls are located between the outer side wall of the second annular sleeve and the corresponding lower arc groove.
[0012] Since all the upper balls and lower balls are arranged alternately, it can be ensured that the upper balls and lower balls alternately protrude outward or return inward along the upper through holes or the lower through holes, thereby driving the external outer gear sleeve to operate and realizing the rotation of the output shaft.
[0013] The bottom of the inner gear sleeve is fixedly connected with the lower connecting shell through bolts, and the bottom of the input shaft is movably connected to the inner side wall of the lower through hole of the lower connecting shell through a bearing.
