Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mechanical transmission device design and manufacturing, and particularly relates to a composite sun-and-planet gear. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, mechanical transmission systems are widely used in various types of mechanical equipment, especially in the fields of automobile gearboxes and industrial robots. Although traditional gear transmission has the advantages of simple structure and low cost, it is prone to wear and noise under high-speed operation and high load conditions, which affects the service life and performance of the equipment. In recent years, with the application of precision machining technology and new materials, new transmission devices have emerged, improving transmission efficiency and reliability, but also bringing new challenges such as complex design and high cost.

[0003] The specific solutions of the prior art include traditional gear transmission, which realizes power transmission by meshing two or more gears, has a simple structure and low cost, but is prone to wear and noise, and is not suitable for long-term high-load operation. Planetary gear transmission consists of a central sun gear, a planet carrier, and planet gears rotating around the sun gear, has high load capacity and transmission ratio range, and is suitable for high-torque transmission, but has a complex structure, high assembly difficulty, and high cost. Harmonic reducer uses the differential motion of flexible bearings and rigid gears to achieve speed reduction and torque increase, has the advantages of small size, light weight, and high transmission efficiency, but due to material limitations, its service life is short and maintenance cost is high.

[0004] Therefore, traditional gear transmission is prone to severe tooth surface wear under high rotational speed and heavy load, which reduces transmission accuracy and service life. Although planetary gear transmission has strong load capacity, its complex structure increases manufacturing and assembly difficulty and has relatively high cost. Although the harmonic reducer is compact and efficient, its core component, the flexspline, is under great stress and will be damaged by fatigue after long-term use, requiring frequent maintenance and increasing cost.

[0005] Therefore, the present application proposes a composite sun-and-planet gear. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

The secondary sun-and-planet gear meshes with the inner ring gear, making the composite sun-and-planet gear set roll along the inner ring gear as a whole, thereby driving the planet carrier to rotate, and finally transmitting power to the output shaft through the bolts on the planet carrier. This multi-stage meshing method not only improves transmission efficiency but also effectively disperses contact stress and reduces wear, greatly improving the practicality of the device.
