Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of couplings, and in particular relates to a gear coupling. Background Art
[0002] Gear couplings consist of an internal ring gear with the same number of teeth and a flanged half-coupling with external teeth. They feature a small radial dimension and high load capacity, making them commonly used in shaft transmissions under low-speed, heavy-load conditions, such as those in the metallurgical, mining, and lifting and transportation industries. They are also suitable for the petroleum, chemical, and general machinery industries. However, conventional gear couplings are prone to misalignment during manufacturing, installation, and operation, leading to misalignment.

It includes two sets of symmetrically arranged gear sleeves, two sets of inner gear rings, and two sets of fixed end covers. The inner gear rings are connected to auxiliary connecting sleeves. The inner wall of the auxiliary connecting sleeves is provided with gear grooves suitable for different equipment. It can meet the needs of different equipment. The cooperation of the limiting slide and the limiting slide groove of the auxiliary connecting sleeve can be precisely limited. This patent ensures the accuracy of the gear installation between the gear sleeve and the inner gear ring, but does not guarantee the centering stability between the two sets of gear sleeves. In addition, the fixed end covers are thick and heavy, which easily brings a certain burden to the coupling transmission system. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0016] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the gear coupling includes an external gear sleeve group 100, an internal gear ring 200 and a sealing end cover 300. The external gear sleeve group 100 includes two types of first external gear sleeve 101 and second external gear sleeve 102. The two are respectively matched with an internal gear ring 200 and a sealing end cover 300 to form a half coupling. The two sets of half couplings are relatively connected to form the gear coupling of the utility model.
[0017] like Figure 2 As shown, the first and second outer gear sleeves 101 and 102 of the outer gear sleeve assembly 100 are arranged opposite each other, and both are integrally formed with a gear sleeve sleeve 110 and a flange base 120. The inner side wall of the gear sleeve sleeve 110 is sequentially provided with an end cover step 111 and gear sleeve inner teeth 112 from the outside to the inside. The flange base 120 is evenly provided with a plurality of fastening bolt holes 121 circumferentially. The fastening bolt holes 121 between the first and second outer gear sleeves 101 and 102 correspond to each other, and stud bolts 130 are provided through the long bolt holes formed by the two. Bolt sleeves 131 are provided between the stud bolts 130 and the inner side walls of the fastening bolt holes 121 to tighten and protect the stud bolts 130. The outer side wall of the inner gear ring 200 is formed with gear ring outer teeth 210, which are correspondingly meshed with the gear sleeve inner teeth 112.
[0018] The difference in structure between the first outer gear sleeve 101 and the second outer gear sleeve 102 is that the first outer gear sleeve 101 has limiting protrusions 122 uniformly formed circumferentially on the end face of the flange base 120 with fastening bolt holes 121 as intervals, and the second outer gear sleeve 102 also has limiting grooves 123 on the end face of the flange base 120. The limiting grooves 123 and the limiting protrusions 122 correspond to each other, which facilitates the corresponding installation between the first outer gear sleeve 101 and the second outer gear sleeve 102, thereby enhancing the overall centering stability of the gear coupling.
[0019] like Figures 3 and 4 As shown, the sealing end cap 300 is made of an elastic sealing material, preferably rubber, and is embedded in the end cap step 111 between the first outer gear sleeve 101 or the second outer gear sleeve 102 and the inner gear ring 200, presenting an overall annular structure. The sealing end cap 300 has an annular deformation groove 310 on the outward side, which has a U-shaped cross-section. A sealing ring 320 is fitted on the inner side wall of the deformation groove 310 near the inner gear ring 200. An angled guide groove 311 is provided on the end near the end step of the gear sleeve sleeve 110. The angled guide groove 311 serves as a guide during installation of the sealing end cap 300.
[0020] When the sealing end cap 300 is embedded in the installation, it needs to be pressed into the space between the first outer gear sleeve 101 or the second outer gear sleeve 102 and the inner gear ring 200 until the bottom surface of the end cap contacts the end cap step 111. At this time, there may be a gap between the sealing end cap 300 and the side wall of the inner gear ring 200. Therefore, a sealing ring 320 is installed on the inner wall of the deformation groove 310 to ensure a good seal between the sealing end cap 300 and the inner gear ring 200. The deformation groove 310 provides a deformation space, allowing the sealing end cap 300 to be adjusted and installed according to the working shaft and inner gear ring 200 of different outer diameters. The use of an embedded sealing end cap 300 instead of a traditional metal fixed end cap reduces the overall mass and load of the gear coupling while ensuring sealing performance, saving material costs.
