Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gearboxes, and particularly relates to a fixing structure for reducing the deformation of an internal gear ring. Background Art

[0002] At present, the development of the wind power industry is changing with each passing day, and high-power density and compact wind power gearbox units have become the mainstream design in the industry.

[0003] The gearbox for wind power mainly adopts a planetary transmission structure. When the gearbox is running, meshing forces will be generated between the gears. Due to the large size of the gear ring and its relatively flexible structure, the gear ring will produce "petal-shaped" deformation when the planetary gears mesh. The connection between the internal gear ring and the box body generally adopts a connection method combining bolts and pins. Although the pins can offset part of the shear force generated by gear meshing, large deformation will still occur on the gear ring, which will affect the service life of the gear ring. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] Aiming at the above defects, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a fixing structure for reducing the deformation of the internal gear ring, which can reduce the deformation of the gear ring and improve the service life of the gear ring.

[0005] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model provides a fixing structure for reducing the deformation of an internal gear ring, including an internal gear ring and a fixing member;

[0007] A plurality of uniformly distributed tooth grooves are arranged on the outer ring side of the internal gear ring;

[0008] An installation groove for installing the internal gear ring is arranged on the fixing member, and a plurality of limiting teeth corresponding to the tooth grooves one by one are arranged in the installation groove.

[0009] By adopting the above scheme, during the working process, the planetary gears mesh inside the internal gear ring, and the planetary gears generate a force on the internal gear ring along the meshing direction, making the internal gear ring tend to deform along the direction of the force. Since tooth grooves are arranged on the outer ring side of the gear ring and limiting teeth corresponding to the tooth grooves are arranged on the fixing member, the limiting teeth generate a reaction force on the internal gear ring through the tooth grooves, and the deformation of the internal gear ring is restricted by the limiting teeth, effectively reducing the deformation of the internal gear ring during the working process.

[0010] The present utility model is further configured such that the tooth groove includes two side walls and a bottom wall, a plurality of limiting grooves are formed in the side walls, and a plurality of protruding portions that are in one-to-one correspondence and match with the limiting grooves on the corresponding side are provided on the tooth surface of the limiting teeth. Since the protruding portions on the tooth surface of the limiting teeth are inserted into the corresponding limiting grooves, all the protruding portions interact with the corresponding limiting grooves to increase the contact area, so that the limiting teeth can provide a uniformly distributed reaction force for the side walls of the limiting grooves, further reducing the deformation of the internal gear ring.

[0011] The present utility model is further configured such that there is a gap between the limiting teeth and the corresponding tooth grooves. Since there is a gap between the limiting teeth and the corresponding tooth grooves, when the internal gear ring is subjected to the acting force of the planet gears, the position of the acting point between the limiting teeth and the corresponding tooth grooves changes, further reducing the deformation of the gear ring along the tangential direction.

[0012] The present utility model is further configured such that the limiting groove is an arc-shaped groove. Since the cross-section of the limiting groove is arc-shaped, that is, the limiting groove is an arc-shaped groove, a relatively large contact area can be provided between the limiting groove and the corresponding protruding portion, thereby improving the uniformity of load distribution.

[0013] The present utility model is further configured such that an arc-shaped convex surface is formed by the protrusions between two adjacent limiting grooves, and the portion of the tooth surface of the limiting teeth between the two protruding portions is a concave surface that matches the convex surface. By the cooperation of the convex surface and the concave surface, the contact area is increased, thereby further ensuring the uniform load distribution.

[0014] The present utility model is further configured such that the convex surface is smoothly connected to the adjacent limiting groove.

[0015] The present utility model is further configured such that the intersection of the side wall and the outer circle of the internal gear ring is rounded. This prevents an acute angle from being formed at the intersection of the side wall and the outer circle of the internal gear ring.

[0016] The present utility model is further configured to further include a fixing ring, the fixing ring is detachably connected to the fixing member, and the fixing member and the fixing ring jointly clamp the internal gear ring. By jointly clamping the internal gear ring by the fixing ring and the fixing member, the deformation of the internal gear ring is further restricted.

[0017] The present utility model is further configured such that the fixing member is connected to the fixing ring by bolts.

[0018] The present utility model is further configured such that through holes are axially formed in the internal gear ring, and the bolts are arranged in the through holes. By limiting the internal gear ring with bolts, the structural stability of the internal gear ring is enhanced.

[0019] In summary, a fixing structure for reducing the deformation of the internal gear ring provided by the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The limiting teeth generate a reaction force on the internal gear ring through the tooth grooves, and balance the force exerted on the internal gear ring by the planetary gears through the reaction force, reducing the deformation of the internal gear ring during operation.

[0021] 2. The service life of the internal gear ring is prolonged. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the following will further elaborate on the present invention in conjunction with the Figures 1-7 drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-7, a fixing structure for reducing the deformation of the internal gear ring provided in this embodiment. The fixing structure includes a fixing member 2 and an internal gear ring 1. Among them, a plurality of evenly distributed tooth grooves 3 are provided on the outer ring side of the internal gear ring 1. The tooth grooves 3 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction and penetrate the internal gear ring 1 along the axial direction. An installation groove 4 for installing the internal gear ring 1 is provided on the fixing member 2, and a plurality of limiting teeth 5 corresponding to the tooth grooves 3 one by one are provided in the installation groove 4. The limiting teeth 5 are inserted into the corresponding tooth grooves 3. Among them, the fixing member 2 can be the housing of the gearbox or a fixing seat connected to the housing of the gearbox and used for installing the internal gear ring 1.

[0033] By adopting the above scheme, during assembly, the internal gear ring 1 is inserted into the installation groove 4 along the axial direction, and the limiting teeth 5 are inserted into the corresponding tooth grooves 3 along the axial direction. During the working process, the planet gear 14 meshes inside the internal gear ring 1, and the planet gear 14 generates a force on the internal gear ring 1 along the direction of its meshing line, making the internal gear ring 1 tend to deform along the direction of the force. Since tooth grooves 3 are provided on the outer ring side of the gear ring and limiting teeth 5 corresponding to the tooth grooves 3 are provided on the fixing member 2, the limiting teeth 5 generate a reaction force on the internal gear ring 1 through the tooth grooves 3, and part of the force exerted by the planet gear 14 on the internal gear ring 1 is offset by the reaction force, thereby reducing the deformation of the internal gear ring 1 during the working process.

[0034] Specifically, the tooth groove 3 includes two side walls 6 and a bottom wall 7. A plurality of limiting grooves 8 are provided on the side walls 6, and the limiting grooves 8 penetrate the internal gear ring 1 along the axial direction. A plurality of protruding portions 9 corresponding to the limiting grooves 8 on the corresponding side are provided on the tooth surface of the limiting tooth 5, and the protruding portions 9 are inserted into the corresponding limiting grooves 8. In order to prevent an acute angle from being formed on the outer circle of the internal gear ring 1, preferably, the intersection of the side wall 6 and the outer circle of the internal gear ring 1 is rounded.

[0035] In this embodiment, preferably, the limiting groove 8 is an arc-shaped groove, the cross-section of the limiting groove 8 is arc-shaped, and the end surface of the protruding portion 9 is arc-shaped that fits the shape of the limiting groove 8. Since the cross-section of the limiting groove 8 is arc-shaped, that is, the limiting groove 8 is an arc-shaped groove, this enables a large contact area between the limiting groove 8 and the corresponding protruding portion 9, thereby improving the uniformity of load distribution.

[0036] The part between two adjacent limiting grooves 8 on the internal gear ring 1 protrudes to form an arc-shaped convex surface 10, and the part of the tooth surface of the limiting tooth 5 between two protruding portions 9 is an arc-shaped concave surface 11 that matches the convex surface 10. The convex surface 10 is smoothly connected to the adjacent limiting groove 8.

[0037] In order to further limit the deformation of the internal gear ring 1, preferably, there is a gap between the limiting teeth 5 and the corresponding tooth grooves 3. Correspondingly, there is a gap between the protruding portions 9 and the corresponding limiting grooves 8. When the internal gear ring 1 is subjected to the acting force of the planet gears 14, the position of the acting point between the limiting teeth 5 and the corresponding tooth grooves 3 changes. Correspondingly, the position of the acting point between the protruding portions 9 and the corresponding limiting grooves 8 changes, so that the deformation of the internal gear ring 1 along the tangential direction is further reduced.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 6 , in order to enhance the connection stability between the internal gear ring 1 and the fixing member 2, further, a fixing ring 12 is further included. The fixing ring 12 is detachably connected to the fixing member 2, and the fixing member 2 and the fixing ring 12 jointly clamp the internal gear ring 1. The fixing member 2 is connected to the fixing ring 12 by bolts 13. A through hole is axially formed in the internal gear ring 1, and the bolts 13 are arranged in the through hole and penetrate through the internal gear ring 1 along the axial direction of the internal gear ring 1. During assembly, first axially install the internal gear ring 1 into the installation groove 4, and after the bolts 13 pass through the through holes in the internal gear ring 1, threadedly connect them to the threaded holes on the fixing ring 12.
