[0016] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0017] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a differential gear with a lightening groove in this embodiment includes an outer gear 1 and an inner gear 2. A connecting groove 16 is opened inside the outer gear 1. A connecting tooth 21 matching the connecting groove 16 is welded on the outer circumference of the inner gear 2. When the outer gear 1 is connected to the inner gear 2, the connecting tooth 21 extends into the connecting groove 16, and the top end surface of the connecting tooth 21 is completely fitted with the bottom end surface of the connecting groove 16. A plurality of oblique gear teeth 11 are covered on the outer circumference of the outer gear 1. The oblique gear teeth 11 enable this embodiment to be compatible with other gears. The wheels have good meshing performance and relatively stable transmission when they are matched. Ten lightening grooves 14 are arranged in a circular array on the wheel surfaces 12 on both sides of the external gear 1. The lightening grooves 14 are used to reduce the weight of the external gear 1 and reduce the production materials used in the production process of the external gear, saving production costs. Gaps are left between the lightening grooves 14 and the wheel surfaces 12. Two heat dissipation holes 17 are provided on the wheel surfaces 12 with gaps. The heat dissipation holes 17 ensure that the temperature of the embodiment itself will not be too high during operation, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the use of the embodiment.
[0018] To elaborate further, Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, on the wheel surfaces 12 on both sides of the external gear 1, the lightening groove 14 and the wheel surface 12 form a plurality of inclined surfaces 15, and the inclined surfaces 15 increase the surface area of the external gear 1. During the use of this embodiment, the contact area between the external gear 1 and the air can be increased, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect of this embodiment.
[0019] To elaborate further, Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, a protective ring 13 is integrally formed on the inner edge of the outer gear 1, and the protective ring 13 extends from the inner edge of the outer gear 1 to the inner center of the circle. When the inner gear 2 is connected to the outer gear 1, the protective ring 13 fits with the outer edges of the end faces on both sides of the inner gear 2. The protective ring 13 ensures the stability of the connection between the outer gear 1 and the inner gear 2.
[0020] To elaborate further, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the inner edge of the internal gear 2 is formed with two chamfered surfaces 22 by cutting. The chamfered surfaces 22 can eliminate the stress of the internal gear 2 and increase the service life of this embodiment.
[0021] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when connecting, the connecting tooth 21 is aligned with the connecting groove 16, and then the connecting tooth 21 is pushed into the connecting groove 16. When the top end surface of the connecting tooth 21 is in contact with the bottom end surface of the connecting groove 16, the assembly is completed. When the utility model is used, the inner side of the inner gear 2 is connected to the drive shaft of the differential, and the lightening groove 14 reduces the weight of the outer gear 1, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0022] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0023] Although various terms are used more frequently in this article, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the utility model; interpreting them as any additional restrictions is contrary to the spirit of the utility model.
