Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of harmonic reducer technology, and in particular to a high-torque ring flexible roller type harmonic reducer. Background Technology
[0002] Harmonic reducers are widely used in industries such as electronics, aerospace, and robotics due to their advantages of high load capacity, large transmission ratio, small size, light weight, smooth transmission, and high transmission accuracy. However, existing harmonic reducers use conventional ball bearings at the input end. Because the tooth width of the flexible gears is narrow, the contact area is small, leading to easy wear. Furthermore, the axial clearance after wear makes the ball bearings prone to deformation under radial and axial forces, resulting in easy damage. This reduces the stiffness of the harmonic reducer's input end and prevents it from withstanding excessive axial impact forces, thus reducing the reducer's load capacity and service life. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is as follows: Existing harmonic reducers use general ball bearings at the input end. Due to the narrow tooth width of the flexible gears, the contact area is small, leading to easy wear and axial clearance. This causes the ball bearings to deform easily under radial and axial forces, resulting in easy damage. Consequently, the input stiffness of the harmonic reducer decreases, and it cannot withstand excessive axial impact forces, thus reducing the load and service life of the harmonic reducer. Therefore, this invention provides a high-torque ring-type flexible roller harmonic reducer.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a high-torque ring-type harmonic reducer with flexible rollers, including a wave generator, a flexible gear, and a rigid gear. The wave generator is installed in the inner cavity of the flexible gear. It also includes a crossed roller bearing. The flexible gear includes a connecting flange, which is annular in structure. A flexible gear ring is coaxially arranged at one end of the connecting flange. External teeth are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the flexible gear ring, extending from one end to the other. The rigid gear is annular in structure, with internal teeth provided on its inner ring. The external teeth mesh with the internal teeth. The connecting flange is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the crossed roller bearing, and the inner ring of the crossed roller bearing is fixedly connected to the rigid gear. Compared with the prior art, this solution increases the meshing area between the flexible and rigid gears, reducing wear on the meshing teeth, decreasing deformation, and improving the service life of the reducer. Simultaneously, without changing the product volume, it improves the meshing strength between the flexible and rigid gears, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity of the reducer.
[0005] In order to realize the connection between the connecting flange and the flexible gear ring, preferably some embodiments, the connecting flange is uniformly provided with a plurality of needle holes along the axial direction, the needle holes penetrate through the two end faces of the connecting flange, the needle holes are long waist type along the radial direction of the connecting flange, the flexible gear ring is provided with a plurality of needles matched with the needle holes, the needles are arranged along the axial direction of the flexible gear ring, and one end of the needle is arranged in the needle hole.
[0006] In order to realize the fixed connection between the connecting flange and the outer ring of the cross roller bearing, preferably some embodiments, the connecting flange and the outer ring of the cross roller bearing are fixedly connected with each other through screws.
[0007] Preferably, some embodiments of the wave generator include a cam, an input shaft is arranged on the cam, and a ball flexible bearing is arranged between the cam and the inner wall of the flexible gear ring.
[0008] Preferably, some embodiments of the inner ring of the cross roller bearing are integrally formed with the rigid gear.
[0009] The utility model discloses a high torque ring flexible gear roller type harmonic reducer, when using, through increasing the mutual meshing area of flexible gear and rigid gear, the mutual meshing tooth wear of flexible gear and rigid gear is reduced, the deformation is reduced, the service life of reducer is improved, simultaneously, under the premise of not changing product volume, the meshing strength between flexible gear and rigid gear is improved, the carrying capacity of reducer is improved, avoid the existing harmonic reducer at the input end and adopt general ball flexible bearing, because the tooth width of flexible gear is narrow, lead to the contact bearing area with it is small, is easy to wear, and after wearing, there is axial clearance, makes the ball flexible bearing easy to deform after bearing radial and axial force, leads to the flexible bearing easy to damage, makes harmonic reducer input end rigidity decline and can not bear the excessive axial impact force, reduces the load and service life of harmonic reducer.
