Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a reducer for an electric switch machine, in particular to an inlaid disc type reducer for a ZD7 series electric switch machine. Background Art

[0002] A disc reducer, also known as a disc friction reducer, is a device that uses friction to provide overload protection. It utilizes a disc-type layout, transmitting power through a series of friction discs. Its compact structure and minimal footprint make it suitable for the limited space within electric switch machines.

[0003] Chinese patent CN205001454U discloses a friction coupling reducer for the ZD6 series electric switch machine. The second part of the reducer, from the reducer housing to the adjustment end cover, includes an inner friction plate, an outer friction plate, a spring, a fixed chuck and an adjustment end cover, which form a friction coupling to achieve the adjustment function of the friction current. However, its disadvantage is that the reducer housing and the fixed chuck are split structures and connected together by bolts. The split structure is greatly affected by the temperature and humidity of the working environment, and is prone to corrosion and rust, which not only reduces the life of the equipment, but also affects the adjustment of the friction current. At the same time, the split-connected reducer housing and the fixed chuck are made of cast iron, which is relatively expensive. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] The utility model is a kind of inlaid disc reducer for ZD7 series electric switch machine. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, it includes a reducer housing 1 and an adjustment end cover 2, as well as a spring 5, an inner friction plate 3 and at least two outer friction plates 4 located inside the reducer housing 1. The inner friction plate 3 is located between two adjacent outer friction plates 4 and is connected to the internal gear, and the outer friction plate 4 is connected to the front cavity 11. An annular boss 15 is provided on the inner wall of the reducer housing 1. The annular boss 15 is provided with multiple spring grooves for mounting the spring 5, and the spring 5 also abuts against the outer friction plate 4. The input end of the reducer housing 1 is connected to the external drive source 6 through the reduction cover 16 for inputting power; the other end is adjustably connected to the adjustment end cover 2. The output end of the reducer is used to connect to an external load.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the reducer housing 1 is cylindrical and includes a front cavity 11 and a rear cavity 12 which are coaxially embedded and connected; Figure 5 As shown, a spline is provided on the outer wall of the front cavity 11 near one end of the rear cavity 12, and a groove is provided on the inner wall of the rear cavity 12 near one end of the front cavity 11. The spline cooperates with the groove so that the front cavity 11 and the rear cavity 12 are embedded and connected.

[0038] An external thread is provided on the outer wall of the front cavity 11 near one end of the adjustment end cover 2, and an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the adjustment end cover 2. The external thread and the internal thread cooperate to achieve an adjustable connection between the front cavity 11 and the adjustment end cover 2.

[0039] The front cavity 11 is made of stainless steel, which offers excellent corrosion resistance. The rear cavity 12 is made of HT250 gray iron, which helps improve the overall strength of the reducer. Compared to using only iron materials, this embodiment can reduce costs while effectively solving the problem of rust and corrosion inside the reducer housing 1.

[0040] A snap-fit ​​assembly is also provided on the rear cavity 12 for locking and adjusting the end cap 2. This assembly includes a pressure plate seat 13 and a pressure plate 14. The pressure plate seat 13 is provided with a screw hole. One end of the pressure plate 14 is inserted into the pressure plate seat 13, and the other end of the pressure plate 14 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove. A slot is provided in the center of the pressure plate 14. The length of the slot aligns with the axial direction of the reducer housing 1. Bolts for connecting the pressure plate seat 13 and the pressure plate 14 are inserted through the slot and the screw hole.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall of the adjustable end cap 2 is evenly distributed along its circumference with multiple engaging bosses 21, which engage with corresponding engaging bosses 21 on the pressure plate 14. Each engaging boss 21 mates with an engaging groove on the pressure plate 14. After the adjustable end cap 2 is properly installed, the engaging groove on the pressure plate 14 engages with the corresponding engaging boss 21. Bolts are then passed through the elongated holes and secured to the screw holes, locking the adjustable end cap 2 in place.

[0042] A plurality of adjustment slots 22 are uniformly arranged along the circumference of the end surface of the adjustment end cap 2, which is away from the front cavity 11. These slots are adapted to accommodate a wrench. The wrench is installed in the adjustment slots 22, and the adjustment end cap 2 is rotated using the wrench to prevent the wrench from slipping and damaging other components of the switch machine. In this embodiment, the adjustment slots 22 are open T-shaped slots.

[0043] The adjustment end cap 2 is also provided with a scale ring 23, located between the engaging boss 21 and the adjustment slot 22. In this embodiment, the scale ring 23 is made of plastic, and the scale numbers on it correspond one-to-one with the multiple engaging bosses 21. By rotating the adjustment end cap 2 clockwise, the friction current reaches the standard value. When the friction current reaches the standard value, the scale number corresponding to the engaging boss 21 engaged by the pressure plate 14 is 0. As the inner friction plate 3 or the outer friction plate 4 wears, the adjustment end cap 2 needs to be rotated. The change in the number on the scale ring 23 corresponding to the rotation of the adjustment end cap 2 indicates the amount of wear on the friction plate.
