Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of reducers, in particular to a reducer housing capable of detecting working characteristics of an internal bearing. Background Art

[0002] After RV reducers are assembled, they undergo lifespan and performance testing using specialized testing equipment. Existing testing equipment doesn't penetrate the reducer's interior. Its built-in sensors can only detect external parameters related to the RV reducer's overall accuracy, efficiency, rigidity, sound, and vibration. Because installing sensors inside an RV reducer is difficult, existing equipment cannot accurately reflect the reducer's internal operating state, limiting the accuracy of the parameters obtained through existing testing methods. For example, patent application CN112146872A discloses a flexspline performance testing device for a harmonic reducer. The device comprises a fixed base plate; three vertical plates (left, center, and right) are mounted on the fixed base plate; a flexspline fixing plate is mounted on the right vertical plate, adjacent to the center vertical plate; a flexspline is fixed to the flexspline fixing plate; and a clamping mechanism is provided on the exterior of the flexspline. A transmission shaft is mounted between the center and left vertical plates; the transmission shaft is rotatably connected to the center and left vertical plates via bearings; a shifting pin is provided on the transmission shaft, which is in transmission connection with a lever shaft. The reciprocating motion of the lever shaft drives the transmission shaft to reciprocate at a set angle, and a cam mounted on one end of the transmission shaft drives the flexspline to rotate at a corresponding angle, thereby testing the flexspline's deformation. This device can comprehensively test the flexspline's performance indicators, preventing the problem of reduced flexspline life due to damage to other components of the harmonic reducer. However, this device still uses an external measurement method that does not penetrate the reducer housing, which cannot accurately reflect internal conditions. Existing reducer housings are closed after installation, making it impossible to install sensors for internal testing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a reducer housing that can detect the working characteristics of an internal bearing. The reducer housing has detection holes running through both the inside and outside of the reducer. When the reducer is installed as a whole, a sensor that directly detects the working characteristics of the bearing can be installed through the cover detection hole, which can perform true and accurate measurements and can be sealed when not measuring, without affecting the overall service life. The utility model has strong practicality.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A reducer housing capable of detecting the working characteristics of an internal bearing comprises a reducer housing body, a bearing position being arranged inside the reducer housing body, a detection hole penetrating the reducer housing body being arranged at the bearing position, a rectangular groove being arranged on the outside of the detection hole, a sealing cover being removably and sealingly installed in the rectangular groove; and a sensor for detecting the working status of the bearing being removably installed in the detection hole.

[0006] Preferably, two bearing positions are arranged at intervals.

[0007] Preferably, a sealing groove is provided on the rectangular groove, and a sealing ring is installed in the sealing groove. When the blocking cover is installed in the rectangular groove, the sealing ring seals the connection.

[0008] Preferably, the sensor is a temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the bearing when it is working.

[0009] Preferably, the sensor is a vibration sensor, and the vibration sensor is used to detect the vibration of the bearing when it is working.

[0010] Preferably, the detection hole is a threaded hole.

[0011] Preferably, the sensor is mounted on a support column, and an external thread matching the threaded hole is provided on the outer side of the support column; and a signal line of the sensor passes through the support column.

[0012] In the present invention, the detection hole provided enables the sensor to be inserted into the interior of the reducer, enabling authenticity measurement and improving measurement accuracy. The sensor can measure the temperature and vibration state of the bearing in real time during operation, and transmit the measured data for real-time analysis. The support column provided improves the stability of the sensor installation and ensures the accuracy of the measurement. The blocking cover and seal provided can seal the reducer housing when not measuring, without affecting the overall service life of the reducer. The blocking cover is located in the rectangular groove and is not protruding from the outside of the reducer housing, so it does not affect the overall external dimensions.
