Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of worm gear reducers, in particular to a single-stage worm gear reducer. Background Art

[0002] The single-stage worm gear reducer is an important reduction gear device. Its operating principle is to achieve speed reduction by utilizing the meshing relationship between a helical worm and a worm wheel. When the worm wheel is used as the input, the meshing torque between the worm and the worm wheel achieves a change in rotational direction, speed reduction, and power transmission. Conversely, when the worm is used as the input, the worm wheel acts as the output to achieve corresponding speed reduction.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN221482600U discloses a worm gear reducer with a high-load-bearing component, comprising a housing, a worm gear assembly for reducing speed connected to the upper side of the housing, an adjustment member for improving the load-bearing capacity of the reducer provided on the lower side of the housing, a recovery member provided in the housing, the recovery member consisting of a filter plate and an anti-blocking member for preventing the filter plate from blocking, the filter plate being fixedly connected to the inner side of the housing, the anti-blocking member comprising a motor, an auger, a recovery box, a fan blade, and a connection frame. The utility model relates to the technical field of high-load-bearing worm gear reducers. In the worm gear reducer with a high-load-bearing component, during the circulation of the lubricating fluid, the filter plate filters out larger particles of impurities in the lubricating fluid, and during the interval when the worm gear assembly stops operating, the motor drives the auger to rotate, so that larger particles of impurities retained on the filter plate are introduced into the recovery box through the conveying trough, thereby reducing the subsequent processing steps for the impurities retained on the filter plate.

[0004] In order to switch between extracting lubricating oil from the temporary tank and extracting lubricating oil from the storage tank when the circulating pump is working, the above-mentioned worm gear reducer is installed with a three-way valve, and a handwheel is provided on the front side of the three-way valve. However, the above-mentioned worm gear reducer does not have the function of protecting the handwheel. Since the handwheel is always exposed to the outside world, if people or objects outside accidentally touch or collide with the handwheel, it will cause accidental rotation, which will lead to malfunction of the three-way valve.
