Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tracking brackets of photovoltaic systems, in particular to a rotary support structure for a rotary reducer. Background Art

[0002] Tracking mounts have become a mainstream product in the photovoltaic industry. Their power source, the slewing reducer, a key component, is also widely used. Slewing reducers are typically designed as a meshing transmission mechanism consisting of a toroidal worm gear and a central axis gear. The central axis gear, acting as the output, transmits high torque at a low output speed, typically 0.2 rpm.

[0003] Considering its transmission characteristics, the current rotary reducer uses a flanged bushing instead of a rolling bearing as the rotating support component of the center shaft gear to reduce costs and reduce the size of the reducer.

[0004] like Figure 1 As shown, two flanged bushings 4 are distributed at both ends of the center shaft gear 5, serving as rotating support components for realizing the rotational fit between the center shaft gear 5 and the pressure cover 3. At the same time, the center shaft gear 5 is dynamically connected to the toroidal worm 1. In order to achieve the requirement that its outer ring has an interference fit with the base 2 and the pressure cover 3, its inner ring has a clearance fit with the center shaft gear 5. Therefore, during the assembly process, it is necessary to press the flanged bushing 4 into the base 2 and the pressure cover 3 first. The press-fitting process, firstly, increases the difficulty of assembly and requires a special press to operate; secondly, due to its thin thickness, the inner ring will be deformed after press-fitting, forming an ellipse, which affects the clearance fit with the center shaft gear 5 and makes assembly difficult.

[0005] At the same time, if Figure 2 As shown, the flanged bushing 4 is relatively thin, and during the stamping process, tensile cracks may be generated on its neck 41, which reduces the service life of the bushing. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a rotary support structure for a rotary reducer to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-4 In an embodiment of the present invention, a rotary support structure for a slewing reducer includes a middle shaft gear 5, a middle portion of the middle shaft gear 5 is provided with gear teeth 53, and both sides of the gear teeth 53 are provided with gear shaft shoulders 51.

[0026] An annular groove 52 for accommodating a friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 54 is provided on the gear shoulder 51 and the gear tooth 53. A friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 54 is provided at the root of the gear tooth 53 near the gear shoulder 51 and at the end of the gear shoulder 51 near the gear tooth 53. The friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 54 is partially located in the annular groove 52. The friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 54 includes a shoulder layer 55 integrated with the gear shoulder 51 and a tooth shoulder layer 56 integrated with the gear tooth 53. The shoulder layer 55 and the tooth shoulder layer 56 are an integrated structure.

[0027] At least one layer of the friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 54 is provided. The friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 54 is an integrated structure with the gear shoulder 51 and the gear teeth 53. In this embodiment, the middle shaft gear 5 is made of ductile iron, and the friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 54 is a two-layer structure. The friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 54 includes a first friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 57 and a second friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 58. The first friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 57 is a sintered spherical porous copper powder layer, and the second friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer is a sintered self-lubricating layer. The material of the self-lubricating layer is polytetrafluoroethylene and graphite.

[0028] In this embodiment, powder metallurgy technology is used to sinter a flanged bushing and a center gear to form a self-lubricating center gear 5, a single component. The center gear 5 is primarily constructed from ductile iron, with annular grooves machined on either side of the intermediate gear. First, a layer of spherical porous copper powder is sintered around the groove surface to form a first friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 57. Next, a layer of materials such as dry polytetrafluoroethylene powder and graphite powder is applied, and sintered again to form a second friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer with a self-lubricating structure.

[0029] The center shaft gear 5 offers friction-reducing and wear-resistant properties, replacing the flanged bushing and serving as the rotary support structure for the slewing reducer. This eliminates the need for presses and press-fitting processes in the assembly line, reducing production costs. Because the rotary support is machined, there is no stamping deformation, which reduces assembly complexity and increases the service life of the rotary support components.

[0030] When in use, the friction-reducing and wear-resistant layer 54 forms a clearance fit with the holes of the base 2 and the pressure cover 3 to provide support for the rotation of the middle shaft gear 5 .
