Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of transmission components, and in particular to a mechanical transmission component. Background Art
[0002] Gearboxes are important components widely used in mechanical transmissions. They consist of two or more gears. Some gearboxes contain a worm gear and a worm. The worm gear structure is often used to transmit motion and power between two staggered axes. The worm gear and worm are equivalent to a gear and a rack in their middle plane, and the worm is similar in shape to a screw.
[0003] The gearbox includes a worm wheel, a worm and a transmission bearing. The worm wheel, the worm and the transmission bearing are all rotatably arranged in the gearbox. The worm wheel and the transmission bearing are coaxially fixed, and the worm wheel is meshed with the worm. However, in actual application, since the space for placing components in the gearbox is fixed and the installation order of the components is sequential, the worm that matches the worm wheel is usually fixed with other components and placed in the gearbox before the worm wheel. The worm wheel needs to be installed in the gearbox in an interlaced manner and meshed with the worm, but the space in the gearbox is limited, and the worm wheel is not easy to slide in the gearbox to mesh with the worm. Utility Model Content

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the worm is assembled inside the gear box. When assembling the transmission component, the teeth on the worm enter the tooth groove on the worm wheel from the opening at one end of the tooth groove, thereby realizing the matching of the worm wheel and the worm, and the assembly of the transmission component is simpler.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the structural strength of the connection between the worm gear and the transmission shaft is improved by arranging the knurling.
[0011] Optionally, the knurling is a plurality of ridges evenly spaced and extending axially along the transmission shaft and protruding from the surface of the transmission shaft.
[0012] Optionally, the tooth grooves are composed of straight tooth grooves and arcuate tooth grooves, the straight tooth grooves are tangent to the bottom of the arcuate tooth grooves, and the straight tooth grooves extend through the end face of the worm wheel close to the worm.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the worm wheel and the worm are matched, the teeth on the worm enter the arc-shaped tooth groove through the straight tooth groove. The arc-shaped tooth groove is configured to have a larger contact surface with the teeth on the worm, thereby improving the transmission efficiency. At the same time, the arc-shaped tooth groove can limit the worm to prevent the worm from separating from the worm wheel.
[0014] Optionally, the worm gear teeth are configured as helical teeth.
[0015] Optionally, the worm gear is formed on the transmission shaft by plastic injection molding.

[0029] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.
[0030] This embodiment discloses a mechanical transmission component.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 , including a transmission shaft 1, a worm wheel 3 is provided at one end of the transmission shaft 1, and a worm 2 is provided at the other end. An assembly hole 4 is opened on the end surface of the transmission shaft 1 near the worm 2.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 , retaining rings 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connection between the transmission shaft 1 and the worm gear 3, and knurling 6 is provided on the surface of the transmission shaft 1 between the two retaining rings 5. The knurling 6 is a plurality of evenly spaced edges extending axially along the transmission shaft 1 and protruding from the surface of the transmission shaft 1. The worm gear 3 is injection molded between the two retaining rings 5 on the transmission shaft 1.
[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer circumferential surface of the worm wheel 3 is evenly spaced with worm gear teeth 7. A tooth groove 10 is formed between two adjacent worm gear teeth 7. The tooth groove 10 consists of a straight tooth groove 8 and an arc-shaped tooth groove 9. The straight tooth groove 8 is tangent to the bottom of the arc-shaped tooth groove 9. The straight tooth groove 8 extends through the end face of the worm wheel 3 close to the worm 2. The worm wheel 3 is plastic injection molded and arranged on the transmission shaft 1.
[0034] The implementation principle of a mechanical transmission component in this embodiment is: when assembling the transmission component, when the worm wheel 3 cooperates with the worm inside the gear box, the teeth on the worm inside the gear box enter the arcuate tooth groove 9 through the straight tooth groove 8. The arcuate tooth groove 9 is arranged to have an arc shape so that the contact surface with the teeth on the worm inside the gear box is larger, thereby improving the transmission efficiency. At the same time, the arcuate tooth groove 9 can limit the worm inside the gear box to prevent the worm inside the gear box from separating from the worm wheel 3. During the transmission process, the retaining ring limits the worm wheel 3 axially. The worm wheel 3 is injection molded on the transmission shaft 1. During injection molding, the plastic enters the groove between the retaining ring 5 and the knurling 6, so that the worm wheel 3 is tightly connected to the transmission shaft 1, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the transmission component.
[0035] In summary, the tooth grooves on the worm wheel in the present application are set to be open at one end. During assembly, the teeth on the worm enter the tooth grooves through the tooth groove opening, thereby facilitating the assembly efficiency of the transmission component and improving the assembly of the transmission component; the tooth grooves on the worm wheel in the present application are composed of straight tooth grooves and arc-shaped tooth grooves. The arc-shaped tooth grooves are set to have an arc-shaped interior so that the contact surface with the teeth on the worm is larger, thereby improving the transmission efficiency. At the same time, the arc-shaped tooth grooves can limit the worm and prevent the worm from separating from the worm wheel; a retaining ring and knurling are set at the connection between the transmission shaft and the worm wheel, and the worm wheel is injection molded on the transmission shaft, which has a higher integrity, improves the structural strength of the transmission component, and extends the service life of the transmission component. Therefore, the present application effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has a high industrial utilization value.
