[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clearly, the following will be further described in detail in combination with the drawings and examples.
[0023] Example one:
[0024] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the double gear structure comprises a large gear 1, a small gear 2 and a support web 3, the small gear 2 is connected to the inner ring of the large gear 1 through the support web 3, the support web 3 is arranged at the middle of the tooth width of the large gear 1 and the end of the small gear 2, the middle of the small gear 2 is provided with a middle hole 4 for mounting a bearing, the middle hole 4 penetrates the middle region of the small gear 2, an inwardly protruding axial support rib 5 is arranged in the middle hole 4, and the axial support rib 5 limits the mounting position of the bearing.
[0025] The middle support web 3 is a wall plate connecting the large and small gears 2, is distributed at the middle of the tooth width of the large gear 1 and the end of the small gear 2, improves the contact stress of the large gear 1, so that the contact wear area tends to the high rigidity area in the middle of the large gear 1, and the occurrence of serious corrosion and wear is avoided. The whole double gear is integrated, that is, the large gear 1, the small gear 2 and the support web 3 are integrally injection molded, and the rationality of the structural layout has a great influence on the working performance of the gear, so that the integrally injection molding is beneficial to the consistency of stress and transmission.
[0026] The tooth surface of the small gear 2 and the inner ring of the large gear 1 are separated by a separation area 6. The separation area 6 refers to the connection between the large and small gears 2, especially the connection between the end of the large gear 1 and the small gear 2 without any reinforcing support rib. When the large gear 1 is contracted in the stress direction, the contraction force does not tend to the end of the large gear 1, so that the problem of uneven contraction is avoided.
[0027] The axial support rib 5 is a ring-shaped reinforcing rib arranged in the middle hole 4 of the double gear, which is a support structure for limiting the mounting position of the bearing.
[0028] The small gear 2 is a spur gear, and the large gear 1 is a helical gear. The whole double gear can be made of plastic material, and the positions of the spur gear and the helical gear are used for meshing with the corresponding metal gear outside to realize driving.
[0029] For the transmission system with helical gear meshing in the first stage, the existing design has a high stress effect when initially entering the meshing due to the high rigidity support of the end face support web 3, which is easy to cause pitting and wear failure, and first occurs at one end of the large gear 1 near the position of the end face support web 3; while in the design of the present invention, the initial meshing entry or the exit at the end of the meshing are both weak rigidity support areas with low stress levels. Only in the middle of the tooth part is the stress high, which is conducive to eliminating the high stress area of edge contact and improving the contact wear condition. On the other hand, the design of the present invention is also conducive to improving the injection molding process of the large gear 1, and solves the problems of the existing design of setting the support web 3 on the end face of the large gear 1, local injection molding shrinkage, and easy to cause poor tooth direction error.
[0030] Example 2:
[0031] Based on the first embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the axial support rib 5 is located in the middle of the center hole 4. Multiple bearings are installed into the center hole 4 from both sides, and the two sides of the axial support rib 5 respectively support two bearings. The middle axial support rib 5 refers to an annular reinforcement rib in the middle area of the duplex gear center hole 4, which divides the center hole 4 into two parts. The two parts can be installed with bearings separately. The two bearings are installed into the center hole 4 from both sides until they support the middle axial support rib 5. The axial support rib 5 serves as a segmented axial support and also provides axial positioning.
[0032] Example 3:
[0033] Based on the first embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the axial support rib 5 is located at one end of the central hole 4. Multiple bearings are installed side by side into the central hole 4 from the other end, with the axial support rib 5 supporting the bearings inside. The axial support rib 5 on the side acts as a rib for the central hole 4. When the bearing is installed from one side of the central hole 4, it presses against the axial support rib 5 on the side, limiting the assembly position of the bearing in the central hole 4. The axial support rib 5 on the side also supports the bearing.
[0034] Example 4:
[0035] On the basis of the first embodiment, for the case where the tooth diameter of the small gear 2 is not much different from the tooth diameter of the large gear 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the bottom surface of the end of the pinion 2 forms a support plane with the bottom of the support web 3. The spacing between the support webs 3 is relatively short. The width of the support webs 3 is sufficient to provide support between the pinion 2 and the gear 1, so a flat structure can be used to meet the strength requirements.
[0036] At the same time, when the tooth diameter of the small gear 2 is not much different from that of the large gear 1,Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the top of the support web 3 is a flat surface extending from the tooth surface of the pinion 2 to the inner ring of the large gear 1. A shorter support web 3 is sufficient to meet strength requirements, and the distance between the tooth surface of the pinion 2 and the inner ring of the large gear 1 is limited. Therefore, the top surface of the support web 3 adopts a flat structural design at this location.
[0037] Embodiment 5:
[0038] On the basis of the first embodiment, for the case where the tooth diameter of the small gear 2 is significantly different from the tooth diameter of the large gear 1, such as Figure 6 As shown, a reinforcement ring 7 is provided on the support plane. The spacing between the support webs 3 is relatively long, and the strength of the support webs 3 with a longer width is lower than that of the support webs 3 with a shorter spacing. Therefore, the reinforcement ring 7 is added to the plane of the support webs 3 to increase the strength of the support webs 3 and meet structural requirements.
[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, the top of the support web 3 is a boss 8. The upper bottom surface of the boss 8 is connected to the end of the pinion 2, and the lower bottom surface of the boss 8 is connected to the inner ring of the gear 1. The strength requirements for the longer-span support web 3 are relatively low, and the space between the tooth surface of the pinion 2 and the inner ring of the gear 1 is larger. Therefore, the boss 8 is used on the top of the support web 3 in this position. The stepped transition between the upper and lower bottom surfaces acts as a reinforcement ring 7, enhancing the structural strength of the top of the support web 3.
[0040] This double gear structure has the following advantages:
[0041] (1) The large and small wheels of the plastic double gear are connected and supported by the support web 3 of the middle part of the large gear 1 and the small gear 2, and there is no connecting rib or support between the end of the large gear 1 and the small gear 2. By optimizing the plastic gear structure, the uniformity of circumferential and axial deformation caused by local shrinkage during the injection molding process is improved, thereby improving the accuracy of high-speed helical gears.
[0042] (2) By optimizing the plastic gear structure, the connecting support structure of the helical gear and the spur gear of the duplex gear is changed from the end cantilever to the middle support of the helical gear, thereby improving the local contact pressure when the helical gear and the metal gear are engaged, especially the high contact stress when the end enters, so that the contact wear area tends to the middle high stiffness area, avoiding the occurrence of severe pitting and wear.
[0043] (3) The new plastic gear has a middle hole 4 structure, an axial support rib 5 structure is added to the middle part of the middle hole 4, two bearings can be installed into the middle hole 4 left and right to achieve the function of axial positioning, and can also provide axial support for the left and right bearings. The axial positioning problem of the middle hole 4 bearing is improved, and the risk of axial loosening of the bearing under extreme conditions is avoided. A shaft sleeve can also be installed between the two bearings to increase the span support.
[0044] The above is a further detailed description of the utility model in combination with specific preferred embodiments, and cannot be regarded as the specific implementation of the utility model being limited to these descriptions. For ordinary skilled persons in the technical field to which the utility model belongs, without departing from the concept of the utility model, a number of simple deductions or substitutions can also be made, and all of them should be regarded as belonging to the protection scope of the utility model.
