[0021] Among them, the coaxial double gears include spur gear B12 and spur gear C13; the coaxial triple gears include spur gear C14, helical gear A15 and helical gear B16; the transmission shaft A1 is fixedly installed with spur gear A11; the transmission shaft B2 is fixedly installed with spur gear B12 and spur gear C13; the transmission shaft C3 is fixedly installed with spur gear C14, helical gear A15 and helical gear B16; the transmission shaft D4 and the transmission shaft E5 are the output shafts of the speed change gear box; the transmission shaft D4 and the transmission shaft E5 are respectively fixedly installed with helical gears C17 and Helical gear D18; transmission shaft A1 is connected to transmission shaft B2 through meshing transmission of spur gear A11 and spur gear B12; transmission shaft B2 is connected to transmission shaft C3 through meshing transmission of spur gear C13 and spur gear C14; transmission shaft C3 is connected to transmission shaft D4 through meshing transmission of helical gear A15 and helical gear C17; transmission shaft C3 is connected to transmission shaft E5 through meshing transmission of helical gear B16 and helical gear D18; output shaft helical gear A19 and output shaft helical gear B20 are fixedly mounted on transmission shaft D4 and transmission shaft E5 respectively.

[0022] Among them, Figure 1The figure shows a precision gear meshing transmission gearbox, which is designed on the moving parts of the equipment. Through the output shaft bevel gear A19 and the output shaft bevel gear B20 in the gearbox, as a pair of output gear shafts, meshing and transmitting with the precision rack on the fixed part of the equipment, the moving parts of the equipment can achieve speed walking, positioning walking, reverse positioning walking and positioning stop movements; combined with Figure 2 From the gear meshing transmission principle diagram inside the gear box shown, it can be seen that when the servo drive motor 10 transmits a certain torque and speed to the spur gear B12 in the transmission shaft B2 through the spur gear A11; at the same time, because the spur gear B12 and the spur gear C13 are coaxial double gears, the speed and torque on the spur gear B12 are equivalently transmitted to the spur gear C13; then, the spur gear C13 transmits the speed and torque to the spur gear C14 in the transmission shaft C3, because the spur gear C14 and the helical gear A15 and the helical gear B16 are coaxial triple gears, and the helical gear A15 is meshed with the helical gear C17 in the transmission shaft D4, and the helical gear B16 is meshed with the helical gear D18 in the transmission shaft E5 at the same time, so the transmission shaft C3 transmits the torque and speed from the servo drive motor 10 to the transmission shafts D4 and E5 at the same time. Then it is transmitted to the output shaft bevel gear A19 and the output shaft bevel gear B20; finally, the output shaft bevel gear A19 and the output shaft bevel gear B20 are meshed with the rack at the same time, and the speed and torque are transmitted.

[0023] In order to adjust the meshing clearance between the bevel gear A15 and the bevel gear C17, the bevel gear B16 and the bevel gear D18, and compensate for the transmission accuracy error caused by the meshing clearance, a set of mechanical anti-backlash mechanism is designed at the end of the transmission shaft C3, such as Figure 3 The figure shows a mechanical backlash elimination mechanism composed of a butterfly spring 35 and a one-way thrust ball bearing 38.

[0024] The anti-backlash principle is as follows: the above-mentioned speed change gearbox is installed and positioned, and the output shaft bevel gear A19 and the output shaft bevel gear B20 are correctly meshed with the corresponding racks at the same time; the adjusting screw 30 is properly tightened, and the adjusting screw 30 transmits the force to the T-shaft 36, so that the butterfly spring 35 is deformed by the force, and the axial preload force is transmitted to the bushing shaft 37, and then to the one-way thrust ball bearing 38, and then the preload force is transmitted to the transmission shaft C3 through the one-way thrust ball bearing 38, and the transmission shaft C3 transmits the axial preload force through the meshing of the bevel gear A15 and the bevel gear B16 with the bevel gear C17 and the bevel gear D18 respectively, which produces the transmission shaft D4 and the transmission shaft E5 respectively. Generate axial and radial preload, thereby effectively reducing or eliminating the meshing clearance of the helical gears and the meshing clearance between the gear racks, and finally achieving the purpose of eliminating the clearance; wherein, in the actual adjustment process, the adjusting screw 30 can be preliminarily fine-tuned, and then the reverse clearance size of the overall transmission system can be detected, and the adjusting screw 30 can be further adjusted according to the detection result, and finally the clearance elimination process can be achieved; the adjustment process is simple and convenient, and the locking nut 31 is tightened after adjustment to achieve the purpose of self-locking after adjustment; if the transmission mechanism is affected by dynamic load, the butterfly spring 35 will be elastically deformed at this time, and then absorb and compensate for the influence caused by the external load, and maintain and stabilize the preload force that was pre-adjusted in advance.
