Through the tooth surface of mutual meshing, the helical gear transmits the movement and power of the driving shaft to the driven shaft to meet the operation requirements of different mechanical equipment. The current helical gear usually needs the following technologies in practical application:
[0003] 1. Precise tooth profile design and manufacturing technology to ensure that the tooth profile of the helical gear meets the theoretical model to achieve good meshing effect and reduce transmission error;
[0004] 2. High-performance materials and heat treatment technology to make the helical gear have sufficient strength, hardness, wear resistance and fatigue resistance to adapt to different working conditions;

[0016] Preferably, a key groove is formed in the helical gear body, and a group of teeth is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the helical gear body.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the helical gear with the automatic lubricating function has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] I. When the circular ring rotates with the helical gear body, the lubricating liquid stored in the liquid storage cavity is thrown outwards along the spiral track of the spiral conveying groove to the surface of the helical gear body in the rotating process, and the lubricating liquid is thrown outwards to the external ring for lubricating work in the rotating process of the helical gear body. When the helical gear body rotates to transmit power, the lubricating liquid is automatically thrown outwards for lubricating work, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the helical gear body as a whole.
