[0035] In the conventional speed reducer structure scheme, the layout is often carried out by using ball bearings for the input shaft and tapered bearings for the intermediate shaft. To meet the development trend of miniaturization and high efficiency of electric drive, a ball bearing scheme is adopted for the input shaft and intermediate shaft on the speed reducer side to replace the above conventional scheme. However, due to the high load requirement of the intermediate bearing, under the same boundary conditions, the selected specification size of the ball bearing is larger than that of the tapered bearing, so the bearing near the gear side bears too much load, resulting in an oversized bearing specification and affecting the overall layout.

[0036] The present utility model proposes a bearing fixing structure.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the bearing fixing structure includes two bearing seats 1 and a fixing structure 3. The two bearing seats 1 are arranged oppositely along a first direction. Each bearing seat 1 forms a cavity 11 with one end open. The openings of the two bearing seats 1 are arranged oppositely. The inner wall of the cavity 11 is used for sleeving and installing with the outer ring of the corresponding bearing 2. The fixing structure 3 is used for connecting the two open ends of the two bearing seats 1.

[0038] The technical solution of the present utility model is that two bearing seats 1 are arranged oppositely along a first direction. Each bearing seat 1 forms a cavity 11 with one end open. The openings of the two bearing seats 1 are arranged oppositely. The inner wall of the cavity 11 is used for sleeving and installing with the outer ring of the corresponding bearing 2. The fixing structure 3 is used for connecting the two open ends of the two bearing seats 1. With such a setting, by providing bearing seats 1 outside the two bearings 2, the fixing structure 3 connects and fixes the two bearing seats 1, avoiding the problem that the bearing 2 has an oversized specification due to excessive load of the bearing 2 during the use of the input shaft, and expanding the installation space. The bearing fixing structure 100 realizes the purpose of using small - specification bearings to cooperate with the fixing structure 3 to bear the load, replacing the traditional large - specification bearings to bear the load, and meeting the limited space layout of the speed reducer.

[0039] The installation method of the cavity 11 and the outer ring of the corresponding bearing 2 can be press - fitting.

[0040] The fixed structure 3 can be set up by connecting with a rod and a bolt, or by connecting with a clamping groove and a clamping post. For the specific setting method, please refer to the following specific description.

[0041] Furthermore, considering the use effect, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the fixed structure 3 includes an annular pressing plate 31 and a locking part 32. The annular pressing plate 31 is arranged between the two open ends of the two bearing seats 1, and the annular pressing plate 31 is movably installed between the two bearing seats 1; the locking part 32 is used to lock the annular pressing plate 31 with one of the two bearing seats 1; in this way, through the setting of the annular pressing plate 31, the two bearing seats 1 can be connected in alignment through the annular pressing plate 31, and finally through the setting of the locking part 32, the purpose of locking and fixing the two bearing seats 1 is achieved, thereby realizing the transmission and dispersion of force.

[0042] In this embodiment, the setting method of the locking part 32 is not specifically limited, and it can be a bolt or a clamping post.

[0043] Considering that in the speed reducer structure, the installation space is limited, in order to facilitate the installation of the locking part 32, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the bearing fixing structure 100 further includes an assembly cylinder 4. One end of the assembly cylinder 4 in the first direction is connected to the open end of one of the two bearing seats 1, and the other end is connected to the annular pressing plate 31; in this way, the setting of the assembly cylinder 4 extends the installation position of the bearing seat 1, which is convenient for connecting with the annular pressing plate 31. While facilitating the locking part 32 to lock the annular pressing plate 31, the assembly cylinder 4 can also be directly locked, thereby realizing the transmission of force.

[0044] The installation method of the assembly cylinder 4 can be integrally arranged with one of the two bearing seats 1. The structure is simple, and the locking part 32 is arranged on the other of the two bearing seats 1 for cooperative installation.

[0045] It should be noted that the assembly cylinder 4 is semi - enclosed, which is beneficial to expose the shaft body 7 for convenient use.

[0046] Furthermore, in order to make the annular pressing plate 31 fit and install with the bearing seat 1, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the bearing fixing structure 100 further includes a guide groove 5. The guide groove 5 is opened at the open end of one of the two bearing seats 1; the guide groove 5 is adapted to the annular pressing plate 31; in this way, the guide groove 5 provides an installation position for the annular pressing plate 31, which is beneficial to place the annular pressing plate 31, and can save space for layout while positioning.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation with the assembly cylinder 4, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the fixing structure 3 further includes a plurality of positioning bosses 33, and each of the positioning bosses 33 is arranged around the outer peripheral wall of the annular pressing plate 31; thus, through the arrangement of the positioning bosses 33, it can be directly clamped and fixed with the assembly cylinder 4, realizing the press-fitting alignment of the assembly cylinder 4 and reducing the fixing difficulty.

[0048] Considering that the assembly cylinder 4 needs a certain thickness to be clamped with the positioning boss 33, in order not to affect the use of the shaft body 7, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the bearing fixing structure 100 further includes a support column 6, the support column 6 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the assembly cylinder 4, and a positioning hole 61 is opened on one side of the support column 6 close to the positioning boss 33, and the positioning hole 61 is adapted to the positioning boss 33; thus, through the arrangement of opening the positioning hole inside the support column 6, it is convenient to perform alignment clamping with the positioning boss 33, and through the arrangement of the support column 6, it is avoided that the size of the assembly cylinder 4 is set too thick to affect the use.

[0049] It should be noted that both the support column 6 and the positioning boss 33 are provided with three, and each of the support columns 6 is fixedly arranged around the outer peripheral wall of the assembly cylinder 4 along the first direction along its axis direction, each of the positioning bosses 33 is fixedly arranged around the outer peripheral wall of the annular pressing plate 31, and each of the positioning bosses 31 is press-fitted with each of the support columns 6.

[0050] Considering the installation and use of the locking portion 32, in the technical solution of this embodiment, a threaded hole is opened inside each of the positioning bosses 33, and a through hole opposite to the threaded hole is opened inside one of the two bearing seats 1; the locking portion 32 includes a pressing bolt 321, and the pressing bolt 321 passes through the through hole to be threadedly connected with the threaded hole; thus, the pressing bolt 321 can pass through the through hole to be threadedly connected with the threaded hole, that is, one of the two bearing seats 1 is fixed with the positioning boss 33 through the locking portion 32, achieving the purpose of installing the pressing bolt 321 from the outside of the bearing seat 1 and solving the problem that it cannot be installed inside.

[0051] In this embodiment, the bearing fixing structure 100 further includes a shaft body 7 and a fixing portion 8; both ends of the shaft body 7 along its axial direction correspond to the two open ends of the two bearing seats 1 respectively, and the two bearings 2 are arranged in parallel along a first direction on the outer peripheral wall of the shaft body 7; the fixing portion 8 is arranged at one end of the shaft body 7 along its axial direction for fixing one of the two bearings 2 to the shaft body 7; thus, the fixing portion 8 fixes the shaft body 7 to the inner ring of the bearing seat 1 and cooperates with the locking portion 32 to fix the outer ring of the bearing seat 1, achieving the purpose of balancing the bearing force.

[0052] In the speed reducer structure, the shaft body 7 can be a gear shaft. In the case where the shaft body 7 is a gear shaft, since the load is the largest under the positive drive condition, the bearing on the gear side of the gear shaft bears a relatively large force. To balance the bearing force, the bearing fixing structure 100 is provided to connect the two bearings 2 through the two bearing seats 1 and the fixing structure 3. While balancing the bearing force, small-sized bearings are selected to achieve the purpose of reducing the space layout and meet the limited space layout of the speed reducer.

[0053] The setting method of the fixing portion 8 can be a bolt or a clamping joint.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing portion 8 includes a fixing bolt 81 for connecting the annular pressing plate 31.

[0055] It should be noted that a bearing seat hole is provided on the bearing seat 1 to facilitate the installation of the shaft body 7.

[0056] It should be added that bearing shoulders are provided on both of the two bearing seats 1 to ensure the correct assembly and use of the bearings 2.

[0057] Considering that in the use of the gear shaft, the bearing on the gear side of the gear shaft bears a relatively large force, the fixing structure 3 is arranged on the bearing on the side away from the gear of the gear shaft. For the specific setting method, please refer to the following description.

[0058] In the embodiment where the shaft body 7 is provided as a gear shaft, considering that the bearing 2 near the gear side of the gear shaft only bears the radial force perpendicular to the first direction, and the bearing 2 at the end far from the gear side bears both the radial force and the axial force in the first direction brought by the gear side. In this embodiment, one end of the assembly cylinder 4 in the first direction is fixed to the bearing seat 1 near the gear side of the shaft body 7, and the other end of the assembly cylinder 4 in the first direction is connected to the bearing seat 1 far from the gear side through the fixing structure 3. In this way, the bearing near the gear side only bears the radial force, and the bearing far from the gear side bears both the radial force and the axial force brought by the helical gear, avoiding excessive load on the bearing near the gear side, resulting in an oversized bearing specification and affecting the spatial layout inside the speed reducer.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, among the two bearing seats 1, the bearing seat 1 near the gear side of the gear shaft is set as the first bearing seat 12, and the bearing seat 1 far from the gear side of the gear shaft is set as the second bearing seat 13. The locking part 32 locks and fixes the annular pressing plate 31 and the second bearing seat 13 to realize the outer ring fixation of the second bearing seat 13. Similarly, both bearings 2 are press-fitted on the outer peripheral wall of the gear shaft. The bearing 2 near the gear side of the gear shaft is set as the first bearing 21, and the bearing 2 far from the gear side of the gear shaft is set as the second bearing 22. The fixing part 8 fixes the second bearing 22 and the gear shaft to realize the inner ring fixation of the second bearing seat 13, that is, to achieve the purpose of internally and externally fixing the second bearing 22 and the end of the gear shaft far from the gear side through the fixing structure 3, and to press-fit and fix the first bearing seat 12 and the first bearing 21 on the gear side of the gear shaft, so as to achieve the purpose of selecting small-sized bearings to reduce the spatial layout and meet the limited spatial layout of the speed reducer.

[0060] Of course, in order to achieve the above purpose of installing the pressing bolt 321 from the outside of the bearing seat 1, that is, pressing one end of the annular pressing plate 31 in its thickness direction against the assembly cylinder 4, and arranging the guiding groove 5 at the open end of the second bearing seat 13, which is convenient for fitting and installing with the other end of the annular pressing plate 31 in its thickness direction. The pressing bolt 321 passes through the threaded hole opened inside the positioning boss 33 from the outside of the second bearing seat 13 to be fixed to the first bearing seat 12.

[0061] It should be added that the setting method of the annular plate pressing plate 31 can be a closed setting or an open setting.

[0062] In an embodiment where the annular pressing plate 31 is arranged in a closed manner, the assembly method between the fixing structure 3, the two bearing seats 1 and the gear shaft is as follows: first press-fit the first bearing 21 on the gear shaft, place the annular pressing plate 31, then press-fit the second bearing 22, and install the fixing bolt 81 at one end of the gear shaft away from the gear side to complete the inner ring fixing of the second bearing 22. Press-fit the second bearing seat 13 on the second bearing 22. First place the gear shaft in the bearing seat hole of the first bearing seat 12, then correspondingly install the positioning boss 33 on the annular pressing plate 31 with the support column 6, then assemble the second bearing seat 13, and finally fix the annular pressing plate 31 by externally tightening the pressing bolt 321.

[0063] In the setting mode where the annular pressing plate 31 is open, the assembly method between the fixing structure 3 and the two bearing seats 1 is: after placing the gear shaft on the bearing seat hole of the first bearing seat 12, it is also possible to place the annular pressing plate 31.

[0064] It should be noted that bearing seat holes can be provided on the bearing seat 1 for cooperation with the shaft body 7.

[0065] The present utility model also proposes a speed reducer, which includes a bearing fixing structure. The specific structure of the bearing fixing structure refers to the above embodiments. Since this speed reducer adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0066] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present utility model by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
