Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of planetary gear boxes, in particular to a line-contact ball-top stopper structure. Background Art

[0002] In the sugar refining industry, the efficient and stable operation of production equipment is crucial for ensuring production efficiency and product quality. As one of the most important transmission devices in this industry, planetary gearboxes, with their stable and reliable performance, are crucial for the smooth operation of the entire sugar refining production line. However, the unique operating conditions of the sugar refining process present numerous challenges to the design and use of planetary gearboxes.

[0003] Specifically, during the sugar-pressing process, the high viscosity and pressure of the material place heavy loads on the output planetary carrier, often accompanied by complex swings and vibrations. This unique operating condition places extremely high demands on the structural strength and durability of the planetary gearbox.

[0004] In existing planetary gearbox designs, the connection between the output planet carrier and the sun gear typically utilizes a point-contact spherical stop. While this structure may perform well in general transmission applications, its limitations become apparent under the unique operating conditions of the sugar refining industry. Due to its small contact area, the point-contact spherical stop is prone to localized crushing when the output planet carrier is subjected to significant impact loads and oscillation. This not only reduces the transmission efficiency of the gearbox but also severely impacts its service life and safety. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems existing in the existing planetary gearbox, the present invention aims to provide a line-contact ball top stopper structure with high stability and long service life.

[0006] The specific technical solutions are as follows:

The line contact ball top is installed on the sun gear, and there is a floating space between the line contact ball top and the line contact stopper. The side of the line contact ball top facing the line contact stopper is an outward convex arc surface.

[0011] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the output planet carrier and the opposite end faces of the sun gear are both provided with mounting grooves, and the line contact block / the line contact ball top is interference-mounted in the mounting grooves.

[0012] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the output planet carrier, the sun gear, the line contact block, and the line contact ball top are all coaxially arranged.

[0013] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the width of the floating space is C, C=1-2mm.

[0014] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the output planet carrier and the sun gear are connected via a transmission member.

[0015] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the transmission member includes:

[0016] an inner gear ring, the inner gear ring is coaxially arranged with the output planet carrier and sleeved on the outside of the output planet carrier;

[0017] The planetary gears are rotatably mounted on the output planetary carrier and are located between the inner gear ring and the sun gear, and the planetary gears are respectively located on the inner gear ring and meshed with the sun gear.

[0018] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the planetary gearbox includes:

[0019] A housing, the output planet carrier is rotatably mounted on the housing, the driving end of the output planet carrier extends into the housing, the sun gear is rotatably mounted in the housing, and the inner ring gear is mounted in the housing;

[0020] A drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the housing, and an output end of the drive shaft extends into the housing and is transmission-connected to the sun gear.

[0021] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the drive shaft and the output planetary carrier are respectively located on both sides of the box.

[0022] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the output planet carrier is rotatably mounted on the housing via two bearings.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution has the following positive effects:

[0024] In the utility model, when the output planetary carrier of the planetary gearbox swings due to the impact load during the sugar pressing operation, the line contact block and the line contact ball top realize line-surface contact cooperation to increase the contact area of ​​the ball top block, thereby effectively preventing the local crushing phenomenon. It not only has high stability in use and a long service life, but also is conducive to the formation of oil film on the end face of the gear in the planetary gearbox, thereby achieving a good floating effect.
