[0002] At present, the co-rotating twin-screw main reducers used in rubber, plastic, membrane equipment and petrochemical granulators on the market have a structure designed with external teeth for flow separation and then converging. Some test machines use a structure designed with internal teeth to directly drive two output shafts. The above reducers have the following unreasonable features, as follows:
[0003] 1) The reducer body with external gear structure needs to be divided into 4-5 layers of upper and lower structures. The design structure is complex and difficult to manufacture. In addition, the structural rigidity of each layer of the body after the box is poor. The body is easily deformed during processing and transportation, and it is difficult to ensure the runout error requirements of the two output shafts in the same direction.
[0004] 2) The reducer with external tooth structure adopts external tooth diversion and then uses another pair of external tooth confluence structure, which results in a long axial length of the box and makes it difficult to ensure the coaxiality error of each shaft hole.
[0005] 3) The external gear structure uses a large number of bearings in the internal design of the entire reducer, and the transmission structure is complex.
[0006] 4) The long axial length of the housing and the large number of bearings result in high manufacturing costs.
[0007] 5) The phase adjustment of the splines connecting the two output shafts requires adjustment of the two pairs of splitter gears respectively, which makes the phase adjustment complicated.
[0008] 6) The reducer with internal gear structure used in the test machine cannot meet the requirements of industrial application and promotion due to its structural design defects. In addition, the phase of the spline connecting the two output shafts cannot be adjusted by assembly and can only be guaranteed by processing. The phase accuracy is very low and cannot meet the use requirements. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0029] The connection relationship between the various parts is as follows: the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are combined to form a reducer housing. The splitter gear Ⅰ6 and the splitter gear Ⅱ19 are meshed with the input gear shaft 3 at the same time. The splitter gear Ⅰ6 is installed on the distribution shaft Ⅰ5, and the splines at both ends of the spline shaft 7 are installed in the distribution shaft Ⅰ5 and the gear shaft Ⅰ8 respectively. The input end of the spline shaft 7 is positioned by the shaft end baffle 4 installed at the end of the distribution shaft Ⅰ, and the output end transmits power to the gear shaft Ⅰ8 through the end spline. The internal and external gears 9 are installed and fixed in the reducer housing through the bearing Ⅰ10. The internal and external gears 9 can be made into an integral structure or a split combined gear structure according to the gear strength and cost. The external teeth of the internal and external gears 9 are meshed with the gear shaft Ⅰ8 to transmit power to the internal teeth of the internal and external gears 9. The internal teeth of the internal and external gears 9 simultaneously drive two identical gear shafts Ⅱ23. The two ends of the gear shaft Ⅱ23 are installed in the reducer housing and the bearing seat Ⅰ11 through the bearing Ⅳ22, and the bearing seat Ⅰ11 is installed in the reducer box. Gear shaft II 23 can be set 2-5 according to the gear transmission strength requirements. Gear shaft II 23 is meshed with the short output gear shaft 13 at the same time, driving the short output gear shaft 13 to rotate, thereby transmitting the required power. The two ends of the short output gear shaft 13 are supported and fixed in the reducer housing and the bearing seat II 12 through bearing II 15, and the bearing seat II 12 is connected to the reducer housing. One end of the tandem bearing 17 is installed at the end of the short output gear shaft 13, and the other end is installed in the reducer housing to withstand the axial thrust from the extruder screw. The splitter gear II 19 is installed on the distribution shaft II 18 to transmit power to the long output shaft 14. The two ends of the long output shaft 14 are supported and fixed in the reducer housing through bearing III 16 and pass through the inside of the internal and external gears 9 to achieve power output. The thrust bearing 20 is installed on the distribution shaft II 18, one end contacts the splitter gear II 19, and the other end contacts the butterfly spring 21, and withstands the axial thrust from the other screw of the extruder. One end of the disc spring 21 contacts the thrust bearing 20 , and the other end contacts the housing.
[0030] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0031] The upper body 1 and the lower body 2 are combined to form a reducer housing, which bears the additional load from the gear reducer transmission and the outside. The new reducer housing adopts an upper and lower two-layer structure, which is simple and reliable, easy to process and manufacture, and has a low manufacturing cost. The splitter gear Ⅰ6 and the splitter gear Ⅱ19 are meshed with the input gear shaft 3 at the same time, and the input power is split in half and then transmitted to the short output gear shaft 13 and the long output shaft 14 respectively. The first-level gear pair transmission is used to quickly realize the split output of the input power. The splitter gear Ⅰ6 is installed on the distribution shaft Ⅰ5 to transmit the power to the spline shaft 7. The splines at both ends of the spline shaft 7 are respectively installed in the distribution shaft Ⅰ5 and the gear shaft Ⅰ8. The input end of the spline shaft 7 is positioned by the shaft end baffle 4 installed at the end of the distribution shaft Ⅰ, and the output end transmits the power to the gear shaft Ⅰ8 through the end spline, realizing the axial limit of the spline shaft 7. By changing the diameter and length of the spline shaft 7, the torsion angle error required by the short output gear shaft 13 can be compensated, meeting the torsion angle error requirements of the two output shafts. The inner and outer gears 9 are installed and fixed in the reducer housing through bearings Ⅰ10. The inner and outer gears 9 can be made into an integral structure or a split combined gear structure according to the gear strength and cost. The outer teeth of the inner and outer gears 9 mesh with the gear shaft Ⅰ8 to transmit the diverted power to the inner teeth of the inner and outer gears 9. The two ends of the gear shaft Ⅱ23 are installed in the reducer housing and the bearing seat Ⅰ11 through bearings Ⅳ22. The bearing seat Ⅰ11 is installed in the reducer housing. After the bearing seat Ⅰ11 is set, the bearing seat hole on the output side of the housing is enlarged, making the processing of the outer ring housing seat hole of the bearing Ⅰ10 easier and the accuracy easier to ensure. The inner teeth of the inner and outer gears 9 simultaneously drive two (or more) identical gear shafts Ⅱ23. The gear shafts Ⅱ23 can be set 2-5 according to the gear transmission strength requirements, realizing the secondary diversion of power. By setting the gear shaft Ⅱ23, the new reducer not only realizes the secondary diversion of power, but also increases the center distance of the gear pair of the internal gear transmission, meeting the premise of the gear design strength and realizing the industrialization needs of the reducer. The gear shaft II 23 is meshed with the short output gear shaft 13 at the same time, driving the short output gear shaft 13 to rotate, realizing the confluence after the secondary power diversion, and ensuring the output power demand of the short output gear shaft 13. Since the secondary power diversion and confluence of the new reducer are both realized in a set of internal gear meshing gear pairs, the axial length of the entire reducer housing is shortened, ensuring that the housing is easier to process, and the processing accuracy of each bearing seat hole is higher. At the same time, the internal meshing diversion and confluence structure reduces the number of gear pairs, and the number of bearings used in the structure is reduced by nearly 1 / 3, and the purchase cost of bearings is reduced. The two ends of the short output gear shaft 13 are fixed in the reducer housing and the bearing seat II 12 through the bearing II 15, and the bearing seat II 12 is connected to the reducer housing. One end of the tandem bearing 17 is installed at the end of the short output gear shaft 13, and the other end is installed in the reducer housing to withstand the axial thrust from the extruder screw.The splitter gear Ⅱ19 is installed on the distribution shaft Ⅱ18 through interference fit or flat key connection. The phase error requirements of the output side splines of the two output shafts can be guaranteed by adjusting the circumferential position of the splitter gear Ⅱ19 and the long output shaft 14. At the same time, the splitter gear Ⅱ19 transmits power to the long output shaft 14. The two ends of the long output shaft 14 are supported and fixed in the reducer housing through bearings Ⅲ16 and pass through the inside of the internal and external gears 9 to achieve power output. The thrust bearing 20 is installed on the distribution shaft Ⅱ18, one end of which contacts the splitter gear Ⅱ19 and the other end contacts the butterfly spring 21 to bear the axial thrust from the other screw of the extruder. One end of the butterfly spring 21 contacts the thrust bearing 20 and the other end contacts the reducer housing, which is used to compensate for the compression deformation of the long and short output shafts after the axial thrust of the screw.
[0032] The new type of internal gear transmission co-directional twin-screw reducer has two output shafts running in the same direction:
[0033] Looking at the two output shafts, the two output shafts of the co-rotating twin-screw reducer rotate clockwise.
[0034] Long output shaft steering: Looking at the long output shaft 14, when the input gear shaft 3 rotates counterclockwise, the diverter gear II 19 drives the long output shaft 14 to rotate clockwise, thus achieving the clockwise rotation requirement of the long output shaft.
[0035] Steering of short output shaft: facing the short output gear shaft 13, when the input gear shaft 3 rotates counterclockwise, the diverter gear I6 drives the gear shaft I8 to rotate clockwise through the spline shaft 7. When the gear shaft I8 rotates clockwise, it forces the inner and outer gears 9 meshing with it to rotate counterclockwise. Because the internal teeth of the inner and outer gears 9 and the gear shaft II23 are internal teeth transmission, the gear shaft II23 also rotates counterclockwise. The gear shaft II23 and the short output gear shaft 13 are external teeth meshing transmission, and the transmission direction is opposite, thereby realizing the clockwise rotation requirement of the short output gear shaft 13.
[0036] The new type of internal gear transmission co-directional twin-screw reducer realizes the requirements of torque transmission and steering of two output shafts. At the same time, it can also easily adjust the phase of the two output shaft splines to achieve the compression error compensation requirements. The reducer housing has a simple structure, is easy to process, has high manufacturing precision, and is more cost-effective. It can also meet the requirements of industrial promotion and application of the reducer. All indicators are superior to the reducer with existing structures.
