Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to gear transmission technology, and more particularly to a gear meshing mechanism with adaptive concentricity. Background Technology
[0002] In gear transmissions, meshing accuracy is crucial. Deviations in gear meshing can lead to reduced transmission efficiency, increased wear, and even malfunctions. Traditional gear meshing mechanisms often struggle to completely eliminate meshing deviations because, during actual operation, gears can be affected by various factors such as temperature, load, and vibration. These factors can cause minute deformations or displacements in the gears, thus impacting meshing accuracy.
[0003] The concentricity of gear meshing has a significant impact on the performance of gear systems. When concentricity errors exist, the meshing gears will be subjected to uneven forces, leading to accelerated gear wear, reduced transmission accuracy, and consequently affecting the performance and lifespan of the entire system. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to propose an adaptive concentricity gear meshing mechanism, which solves the problem that the concentricity error in gear transmission systems leads to increased gear wear and decreased transmission accuracy, thereby affecting the performance and lifespan of the entire system.
[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an adaptive concentricity gear meshing mechanism, comprising a support assembly, a sliding assembly, a large gear assembly and a small gear drive assembly, wherein the support assembly is disposed within the large gear assembly, and the support assembly is used to support the sliding assembly and the small gear drive assembly;
[0006] The sliding assembly includes an elastic telescopic sub-assembly and a sliding sub-assembly. One end of the elastic telescopic sub-assembly is fixedly connected to the bracket assembly, and the other end of the elastic telescopic sub-assembly is hinged to the sliding sub-assembly.
[0007] The large gear assembly has a gear ring on its inner side, and the small gear drive assembly has a small gear, which meshes and drives the gear ring.
[0008] The pinion drive assembly is mounted on the sliding sub-assembly;
[0009] When the pinion drives the large gear assembly to rotate, the elastic telescopic sub-assembly adaptively adjusts the center distance and orientation of the meshing of the pinion and the gear ring.
[0010] Furthermore, the elastic telescopic sub-assembly includes a telescopic rod and a spring. One end of the telescopic rod is hinged to the bracket assembly, and the other end of the telescopic rod is hinged to the sliding sub-assembly. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod, and the front end of the spring is fixedly connected to the front end of the telescopic rod, and the end of the spring is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod.
[0011] Furthermore, the sliding sub-assembly includes two linear guides, two sliders, and a sliding table;
[0012] The two linear guide rails are fixed side by side to the bracket assembly;
[0013] Each of the sliders is movably mounted above a corresponding linear guide rail;
[0014] The slide table is fixedly installed above the two sliders;
[0015] The slide table can move along the linear guide rail, and the pinion drive assembly is fixed above the slide table.
[0016] Furthermore, the large gear assembly includes a groove located on the inner side of the gear ring;
[0017] The sliding sub-assembly further includes a roller located between the support and the groove, and the roller is fixedly connected to one side of the support;
[0018] The roller abuts against the groove under the action of the elastic telescopic sub-assembly and rolls along the groove.
[0019] Furthermore, the pinion drive assembly includes a motor and a reducer, wherein the power output end of the motor is connected to the power input end of the reducer, and the reducer is mounted on the slide table.
[0020] Furthermore, the pinion drive assembly also includes a support, the reducer is mounted on the support, and the support is mounted on the slide.
[0021] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a support body and a plate. The support body is radially disposed within the large gear assembly, the plate is mounted above the support body, and the linear guide rail is arranged parallel to the plate and mounted above the plate.
[0022] Furthermore, the main body of the bracket is provided with multiple sets of bolts, and the main body of the bracket can be fixed in the horizontal and vertical planes by the bolt sets.
[0023] Furthermore, the large gear assembly also includes a gear disk, which is sleeved on the outside of the gear ring, and the inner edge of the gear disk is fixed to the outer edge of the gear ring.
[0024] Furthermore, the gear disk includes an outer gear ring, which is disposed on the outer edge of the gear disk.
[0025] The technical solution provided by this utility model can include the following beneficial effects: the pinion drive assembly drives the gear ring to rotate. When the meshing clearance between the pinion and the gear ring is too large, the elastic telescopic sub-assembly pushes the sliding sub-assembly against the large gear assembly, so that the pinion and the gear ring maintain a reasonable meshing distance. Through the elastic telescopic sub-assembly and the sliding sub-assembly, the meshing of the pinion drive assembly and the large gear assembly is changed from a fixed center distance to a floating type, realizing the adaptive adjustment of the gear meshing center distance and posture, thereby improving the tolerance for gear manufacturing and assembly errors, helping to improve transmission efficiency and reduce tooth surface wear. This technical solution solves the problem that the gear transmission system suffers from increased gear wear and decreased transmission accuracy due to concentricity errors, which in turn affects the performance and life of the entire system.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0036] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 The technical solution of this utility model will be further illustrated through specific implementation methods.
[0037] A preferred embodiment of this application provides an adaptive concentricity gear meshing mechanism, characterized in that it includes a support assembly 1, a sliding assembly 2, a large gear assembly 3, and a small gear drive assembly 4, wherein the support assembly 1 is disposed within the large gear assembly 3, and the support assembly 1 is used to support the sliding assembly 2 and the small gear drive assembly 4;
[0038] The sliding component 2 includes an elastic telescopic sub-component 21 and a sliding sub-component 22. One end of the elastic telescopic sub-component 21 is fixedly connected to the bracket component 1, and the other end of the elastic telescopic sub-component 21 is hinged to the sliding sub-component 22.
[0039] The large gear assembly 3 has a gear ring 31 on its inner side, and the small gear drive assembly 4 has a small gear 41. The small gear 41 meshes and drives the gear ring 31.
[0040] The pinion drive assembly 4 is mounted on the sliding sub-assembly 22;
[0041] When the pinion 41 drives the large gear assembly 3 to rotate, the elastic telescopic sub-assembly 21 adaptively adjusts the center distance and orientation of the meshing of the pinion 41 and the gear ring 31.
[0042] Specifically, the adaptive concentricity gear meshing mechanism is a mechanism that can automatically adjust to ensure gear meshing accuracy. The pinion drive assembly 4 drives the gear ring 31 to rotate. When the meshing clearance between the pinion 41 and the gear ring 31 is too large, the elastic telescopic sub-assembly 21 pushes the sliding sub-assembly 22 to abut against the large gear assembly 3, so that the pinion 41 and the gear ring 31 maintain a reasonable meshing distance. Through the elastic telescopic sub-assembly 21 and the sliding sub-assembly 22, the gear meshing of the pinion drive assembly 4 and the large gear assembly 3 is changed from a fixed center distance to a floating type, realizing the adaptive adjustment of the gear meshing center distance and posture. This improves the tolerance for gear manufacturing and assembly errors, helps to improve transmission efficiency and reduce tooth surface wear. This technical solution solves the problem that the existence of concentricity error in the gear transmission system leads to increased gear wear and decreased transmission accuracy, which in turn affects the performance and life of the entire system.
[0043] In an optional embodiment, the elastic telescopic sub-assembly 21 includes a telescopic rod 211 and a spring 212. One end of the telescopic rod 211 is fixedly connected to the bracket assembly 1, and the other end of the telescopic rod 211 is hinged to the sliding sub-assembly 22. The spring 212 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 211, and the front end of the spring 212 is fixedly connected to the front end of the telescopic rod 211, and the end of the spring 212 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 211.
[0044] Specifically, due to the combination of the spring 212 and the telescopic rod 211, and the characteristics of the spring 212, the elastic telescopic sub-assembly 21 can automatically adjust the length of the telescopic rod 211 according to the distance between the pinion 41 and the gear ring 31: when the distance between the pinion 41 and the gear ring 31 is too large, that is, when the pinion 41 is too close to the support assembly 1, the pinion 41 will compress the length of the telescopic rod 211. When the length of the telescopic rod 211 shortens, it will compress the spring 211. Due to its own characteristics, the spring 211 will release potential energy, causing the length of the telescopic rod 211 to extend again, thereby keeping the distance between the pinion 41 and the gear ring 31 within a reasonable range. Furthermore, in order to further improve the stability of the adaptive concentricity gear meshing mechanism, there are two elastic telescopic sub-assemblies 21, and the two elastic telescopic sub-assemblies 21 are arranged in parallel.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, the sliding sub-assembly 22 includes two linear guides 221, two sliders 222, and a slide table 223;
[0046] The two linear guide rails 221 are fixed side by side to the bracket assembly 22;
[0047] Each of the sliders 222 is movably mounted above a corresponding linear guide rail 221;
[0048] The slide table 223 is fixedly installed above the two sliders 222;
[0049] The slide 223 can move along the linear guide rail 221, and the pinion drive assembly 4 is fixed above the slide 223.
[0050] Specifically, each slider 222 and its corresponding linear guide rail form a moving sub-mechanism; two moving sub-mechanisms are fixed side by side to the bracket assembly 22, and the slide table 223 is fixedly installed above the two moving sub-mechanisms. The two moving sub-mechanisms can drive the slide table 223 to move linearly. Since the pinion drive assembly 4 is fixedly installed on the slide table 223, the slide table 223 drives the pinion 41 to move smoothly when it moves, which helps the elastic telescopic sub-assembly 21 to adaptively adjust the center distance and posture of the meshing of the pinion 41 and the gear ring 31.
[0051] In an optional embodiment, the gear ring 31 includes a groove 311, which is disposed on the inner side of the gear ring 31;
[0052] The sliding sub-assembly 22 further includes a roller 224, which is located between the support 44 and the groove 311, and the roller 224 is fixedly connected to one side of the support 44.
[0053] The roller abuts against the groove 311 under the action of the elastic telescopic sub-assembly 21 and rolls along the groove 311.
[0054] Specifically, the elastic telescopic sub-assembly 21 pushes the sliding sub-assembly 22, the pinion 41 is installed on the sliding sub-assembly 22, the sliding sub-assembly 22 is provided with a roller 224, the roller 224 abuts against the groove 311, the roller 224 can prevent the pinion 41 from excessively squeezing the gear ring 31, thereby avoiding large stress concentration at the meshing connection of the pinion 41 and the gear ring 31, causing gear wear, and extending the service life of the gear meshing mechanism.
[0055] In an optional embodiment, the pinion drive assembly 4 includes a motor 42 and a reducer 43, wherein the power output end of the motor 42 is connected to the power input end of the reducer 43, and the reducer 43 is mounted on the slide table 223.
[0056] Specifically, the power output end of the motor 42 is connected to the power input end of the reducer 43, reducing intermediate transmission links and thus improving transmission efficiency. The reducer 43 is directly mounted on the slide table 223, making the structure of the pinion drive assembly 4 more compact and reducing the space requirement of the pinion drive assembly 4.
[0057] In an optional embodiment, the pinion drive assembly 4 further includes a support 44, the reducer 43 is mounted on the support 44, and the support 44 is mounted on the slide table 223.
[0058] Specifically, the support 44 serves to support and fix the reducer 43, allowing it to be stably installed on the slide table 223, reducing the risk of loosening or damage caused by vibration or impact, and also simplifying the installation process.
[0059] In an optional embodiment, the support assembly 1 includes a support body 11 and a plate 12. The support body 11 is radially disposed within the large gear assembly 3. The plate 12 is mounted above the support body 11. The linear guide rail 221 is arranged parallel to the plate 12 and is mounted above the plate 12.
[0060] Specifically, the bracket body 11 is radially embedded inside the large gear assembly 3, which helps to enhance the overall stability and structural compactness. The plate 12 is horizontally installed above the bracket body 11 to ensure the stability of the installation and the load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, the linear guide rail 221 is installed parallel to the plate 12, which not only ensures the accuracy and stability of the linear guide rail 221, but also enables the entire system to move precisely and stably along the specified direction.
[0061] In an optional embodiment, the bracket body 11 is provided with multiple sets of bolts, and the bracket body 11 can be fixed in the horizontal and vertical planes by the bolt sets.
[0062] Specifically, since the bolt groups can be fixed on both horizontal and vertical planes, the bracket body 11 can adapt to different installation environments and conditions. Furthermore, by using multiple bolt groups, the load can be distributed to multiple fixing points, effectively improving the load-bearing capacity of the bracket body 11.
[0063] In an optional embodiment, the large gear assembly 3 further includes a gear disk 32, which is sleeved on the outside of the gear ring 31, and the inner edge of the gear disk 32 is fixed to the outer edge of the gear ring 31.
[0064] Specifically, the gear disc 32 is sleeved on the outside of the gear ring 31. This structure allows the gear disc 32 to tightly wrap around the gear ring 31, forming an integral large gear assembly. The large gear assembly has high load-bearing capacity and transmission efficiency, and is suitable for the transmission system of heavy machinery equipment such as the gear transmission mechanism of excavators, loaders, cranes, etc., and can be applied to industrial production lines and energy equipment.
