Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flexspline structures, and specifically relates to a flexspline structure of a harmonic reducer. Background Technique

[0002] The flexspline is a core component in a harmonic reducer. It cooperates with the wave generator through elastic deformation to achieve power transmission and speed reduction. The design of the flexspline is crucial for the performance of the harmonic reducer, directly affecting the load-bearing capacity, transmission accuracy, and service life of the reducer.

[0003] The bottom of a common flexspline structure is usually connected to the output shaft to transmit motion and torque. The cylinder body provides the support structure for the flexspline. The cylinder body has a geometric shape of a thin-walled cup. The tooth ring interacts with the wave generator to generate elastic deformation.

[0004] During the operation of the flexspline of the harmonic reducer, it will interact with the internal gear rigid wheel through elastic deformation. However, due to the interaction between the flexspline and the internal gear rigid wheel, friction will inevitably occur. Friction will increase the temperature of the flexspline surface, and excessive heat accumulation may cause thermal deformation of the flexspline, affecting its precise geometric dimensions and the normal operation of the reducer.
