DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The utility model will be further explained in connection with the drawings and examples, but not as the basis for the limitation of the utility model.

[0023] The utility model discloses an embodiment: a steering machine harmonic reducer with wave generator flexible support structure, including flexible gear output assembly 3 and the wave generator assembly 5 of sleeve joint on the output shaft of flexible gear output assembly 3, the output shaft diameter d=D- (2-4) * δ of wave generator assembly 5 support position on the output shaft of flexible gear output assembly 3, wherein D is the inner ring diameter of center bearing 5-3 of wave generator assembly 5, and the output shaft of flexible gear output assembly 3 passes through center bearing 5-3, and δ is the maximum bending deformation of the output shaft of flexible gear output assembly 3 under the bending moment.

[0024] By Figure 2 It is known that the output shaft of the steering engine harmonic reducer is generally supported by two front and rear ball bearings. Under the action of external shear bending moment M, the output shaft is bent and deformed with the two bearings as fulcrums.

[0025] The bending radial deformation δ of the wave generator assembly 5 at the support position of the flexspline output assembly 3 is obtained by simulation or theoretical calculation. The output shaft diameter d of the wave generator assembly 5 at the support position of the flexspline output assembly 3 is reduced by (2-4) times the bending radial deformation δ.

[0026] During operation, the wave generator assembly 5 rotates around the center of the flexspline by relying on the cooperation of the flexspline on the flexspline output assembly 3 and the flexible bearing 3-1. When the output shaft of the flexspline output assembly 3 is subjected to shear bending deformation, since the radial gap between the wave generator assembly 5 and the support position of the output shaft is greater than the bending radial deformation of the output shaft, the bending deformation has no additional effect on the wave generator assembly 5, ensuring that the bending deformation of the output shaft has no effect on the support of the wave generator assembly 5.

[0027] For the output shaft with a diameter greater than or equal to 10 mm at the support position of the wave generator assembly 5 on the flexspline output assembly 3, an annular groove 10 is provided at the center of the support position of the wave generator assembly 5 on the output shaft, and a rubber O-ring seal 4 is provided in the annular groove 10. Since the annular groove 10 is provided on the output shaft of the flexspline output assembly 3, the stiffness of the output shaft is weakened, effectively reducing the stress condition of the small bearing 7, which is the end support bearing of the output shaft.

[0028] The width a of the annular groove 10 is (1.2-1.5)*d0, the radial compression amount k of the assembled rubber O-ring seal 4 is (0.1-0.2)*d0, d0 is the diameter of the rubber O-ring seal 4, and h is the groove depth of the annular groove 10. The wave generator assembly 5 is flexibly supported by the elastic deformation of the rubber O-ring seal 4.

[0029] The steering engine harmonic reducer mainly consists of a fastener 1, a front end cover 2, a flexspline output shaft assembly 3, a rubber O-ring seal 4, a wave generator 5, a spacer 6, a small bearing 7, an outer shell 8, and a small bevel gear motor assembly 9. The front end cover 2 is fixed to the front end face of the outer shell 8 by the fastener 1, and the two form an installation chamber inside. The flexspline output assembly 3 is installed in the installation chamber. The wave generator assembly 5, the spacer 6, and the small bearing 7 are sequentially sleeved on the output shaft of the flexspline output assembly 3 from right to left. The small bevel gear motor assembly 9 is installed on the outer shell 8, and the small bevel gear of the small bevel gear motor assembly 9 extends into the installation chamber and meshes with the large bevel gear 5-5 on the wave generator assembly 5. The rubber O-ring seal 4 is installed in the annular groove 10 of the flexspline output shaft assembly 3. The flexspline output shaft assembly 3 is composed of a flexspline and an output shaft, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the flexible gear is fixed on the output shaft by screws, and two bearings are arranged side by side on the left end of the output shaft.

[0030] The wave generator assembly 5 is composed of a baffle 5-2, a large bevel gear 5-5, a flexible bearing 5-1, a center bearing 5-3 and a screw 5-4. The large bevel gear 5-5 is sleeved on the center bearing 5-3, the outer contour of the convex platform on the back cone side of the bevel gear 5-5 is an elliptical cam 5-5.1, the flexible bearing 5-1 is sleeved on the elliptical cam 5-5.1, the baffle 5-2 is arranged on the outer side of the center bearing 5-3, and the baffle 5-2 is fixed on the large bevel gear 5-5 by the screw 5-4. Figure 1 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the wave generator assembly 5 is sleeved on the output shaft of the flexible gear output shaft assembly 3, specifically, the center bearing 5-3 is sleeved on the output shaft, and the outer ring of the flexible bearing 5-1 cooperates with the annular inner wall of the flexible gear of the flexible gear output shaft assembly 3.

[0031] The structure of the rudder harmonic reducer and the wave generator assembly 5 are both prior art, and their specific structures will not be described in detail here. In addition to being applicable to the above-mentioned structure of the rudder harmonic reducer, the flexible support structure of the wave generator is also applicable to other forms of rudder harmonic reducers.

[0032] The inner diameter of the center bearing 5-3 of the wave generator assembly 5 is D, and the width is B. The diameter of the corresponding position of the wave generator assembly 5 installed on the output shaft is d, and the width is b, and an annular groove 10 is arranged. The groove width a and the groove depth h of the annular groove 10. The wire diameter of the rubber O-shaped sealing ring 4 is d0. The maximum bending deformation of the output shaft of the flexible gear output shaft assembly 3 under the action of bending moment is δ. The compression amount of the rubber O-shaped sealing ring 4 is K. The size parameter design of the flexible support structure is as follows:

[0033] d=D-(2-4)*δ;

[0034] b=(1.1-1.2)*B;

[0035] K=d0-h=(0.1-0.2)*d0;

[0036] a=(1.2-1.5)*d0.

[0037] In addition, the output shaft of the flexible gear output shaft assembly 3 is supported by two front and rear bearings (as shown in Figure 4 As shown, the left end of the output shaft is supported in the front end cover 2 by two bearings arranged side by side, and the right end of the output shaft is supported in the housing 8 by a small bearing 7), under the action of bending moment, the small bearing 7 resists deformation and bears a large radial force. After the annular groove 10 is arranged, the stiffness of the output shaft is weakened, and the stress condition of the small bearing 7 is greatly reduced.

[0038] Theoretical calculation and engineering verification show that the bending moment carrying capacity is increased by 2-3 times, and the radial load of the small bearing is reduced by 50%-70% under the same volume, weight and motor power.
