Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a planetary gear reducer. Background Art
[0002] A reducer is an independent component consisting of a gear drive, worm drive, or gear-worm drive enclosed in a rigid housing. It is commonly used as a reduction transmission device between the prime mover and the working machine. In the field of aerators, the reducer acts as a reduction transmission device connecting the motor and impeller. The impeller, which is underwater, generates a downward pull during operation, pulling on the reducer's output shaft. Because the deep groove ball bearings in ordinary reducers cannot withstand large axial forces, they are easily damaged and fail under long-term tension. To extend their service life, angular contact bearings are often used to replace deep groove ball bearings to secure the output shaft, which also increases manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The planetary gear reducer includes: a planetary carrier assembly 2, the planetary carrier assembly 2 includes a planetary carrier connecting rod 5, the planetary carrier connecting rod 5 is externally connected to a planetary gear 9, the planetary gear 9 is externally meshed with a ring gear 10, the planetary gear 9 is internally meshed with a sun gear 11, the sun gear 11 is coaxial with the ring gear 10, the meshing teeth of the sun gear 11, the planetary gear 9 and the ring gear 10 are all helical teeth 25, the helical teeth 25 of the sun gear 11 are left-handed, the helical teeth 25 of the planetary gear 9 are right-handed, and the helical teeth 25 of the ring gear 10 are left-handed.
[0023] The helix angle of the helical teeth 25 is 13-18°.
[0024] The planetary carrier assembly 2, the planetary gears 9, the sun gear 11 and the ring gear 10 form a planetary gear pair integral structure.
[0025] The planetary gears 9 and the sun gear 11 are movably fixed in the gear ring 10 through the planetary carrier assembly 2. The planetary carrier assembly 2 also includes an upper bracket 6 and a base 4. The upper end of the planetary carrier connecting rod 5 is provided with a thread 23. The thread 23 is externally connected to a nut. The thread 23 is a reverse thread 23. When the planetary carrier rotates clockwise, it will self-tighten to prevent loosening. The upper bracket 6 is disc-shaped, and its axis extends upward to form a bearing seat Ⅰ22. A bearing Ⅰ7 is provided in the bearing seat Ⅰ22. The bearing Ⅰ7 is clamped with the inner wall of the top of the bearing seat Ⅰ22 through a retaining spring 19 to clamp the shaft. The range of movement of bearing I7 is limited to the bearing seat I22. The base 4 is disc-shaped, and its axis extends downward to form a bearing seat II13. A bearing II12 is provided in the bearing seat II13. The bearing II12 is clamped with the inner wall of the top of the bearing seat II13 through a retaining spring 19, and the range of movement of the bearing II12 is limited to the bearing seat II13. A partition 21 is fixed at a position corresponding to the bottom of the bearing seat II13 and the bearing II12. The base 4 is covered with a bearing III14. The rotation of the sun gear 11 drives the bearing I7 and the bearing II12 to be movably connected to the planetary carrier assembly 2.
[0026] A reducer output shaft 3 is provided under the base 4, and a bolt hole 17 is opened at the end of the reducer output shaft 3. The center of the partition 21 of the bearing seat II 13 is opened, and the bolt passes through the partition 21 and is fixed to the bolt hole 17 of the reducer output shaft 3. The reducer output shaft 3 is covered with an oil seal 20 and a bearing IV 18, and the oil seal 20 and the bearing IV 18 are separated by a retaining spring 19.
[0027] The top of the sun gear 11 is provided with a nine-key slot 8 , which is connected to the motor. The motor drives the nine-key slot 8 to rotate. A bearing V 24 is provided in the planetary gear 9 , and the bearing V 24 is sleeved on the planetary carrier connecting rod 5 .
[0028] There are two bearings V24, which are separated by a retaining spring 19. The double-bearing design makes the planetary gear 9 rotate more stably and effectively reduces noise during rotation.
[0029] The planetary carrier assembly 2 is outerly provided with a shell 1, the surface of which is provided with an anti-corrosion layer.

[0031] When a planetary gear reducer of the present invention is in use, the motor drives the sun gear 11 to rotate clockwise, the planet gear 9 to rotate counterclockwise, and the planet gear 9 drives the planet carrier assembly 2 to rotate clockwise. Since the sun gear 11 and the planet gear 9 are designed with helical teeth 25, and the sun gear 11 rotates left and the planet gear 9 rotates right, when the two rotate relative to each other, the axial component of the helical teeth 25 will push the sun gear 11 upward and press the ring gear 10 downward. The upward force on the sun gear 11 will offset the downward force on the output shaft caused by the impeller pulling it, so that the axial force of the reducer is in a balanced state, thereby avoiding the bearing from being subjected to a large axial force. The downward pressure on the ring gear 10 can make the ring gear 10 more firmly fixed in the housing 1.
[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
