Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of speed reducer manufacturing technology, and in particular to a bimetallic speed reducer worm gear that is easy to assemble. Background Technology
[0002] Worm gears in speed reducers are generally made of either all-copper alloy or all-steel. However, all-steel worm gears suffer from poor meshing performance, while all-copper alloy worm gears have drawbacks such as high manufacturing and maintenance costs. With technological advancements, a new type of worm gear has emerged, comprising a steel base with mounting shaft holes and copper alloy worm gear teeth tightly connected to the steel base via bolts or pins. However, this bolted or pin-connected method suffers from poor connection stability between the steel base and the copper alloy worm gear teeth.
[0003] To address this, the patent specification with publication number CN218094107U discloses a bimetallic worm gear with an easily replaceable outer ring, comprising an outer ring, an inner ring, and a fastening screw. The outer ring includes a first ring body, with teeth evenly distributed circumferentially on its outer wall and staggered slots and outer fastening holes on its inner wall. The inner ring includes a second ring body, with a protrusion on its outer wall and staggered keyways and inner fastening holes on its inner wall. The fastening screw is screwed into the corresponding outer fastening hole through the inner fastening hole to fix the inner and outer rings together. This bimetallic worm gear structure mainly consists of a copper-based outer ring, a steel-based inner ring, and a fastening screw. The outer and inner rings are synchronously driven mainly by the slots and protrusions, and the fastening screw is used for axial positioning to prevent axial displacement after assembly. This bimetallic worm gear has the advantage of easy assembly and disassembly; when the outer ring is severely worn, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced.
[0004] The aforementioned bimetallic reducer worm gear has several drawbacks. First, it requires the fastening screws to be installed from the inner side of the inner ring, necessitating a relatively large inner diameter, making it unsuitable for assembling and machining small-sized bimetallic reducer worm gears. Second, it relies entirely on the fastening screws to withstand axial misalignment forces; if the fastening screws experience localized deformation, the outer ring may become difficult to disassemble and replace. Therefore, its structure needs to be optimized and improved. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned problems in traditional technologies and provide a bimetallic reducer worm gear that is easy to assemble.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0007] A bimetallic reducer worm gear that is easy to assemble includes an inner ring, an outer ring, and fastening screws. There are two outer rings, which are respectively installed on the outside of the inner ring by fastening screws.
[0008] The inner ring component includes a circular ring body. The upper and lower ends of the circular ring body are provided with annular baffles with increasing diameter. The circular ring body and the annular baffles are provided with keyways at the edge of the inner hole. The outer side of the circular ring body is provided with two sets of inner fastening holes symmetrically about the keyways.
[0009] The outer ring component includes a semi-circular plate with protruding teeth evenly distributed on its outer side. The semi-circular plate has semi-circular arc grooves symmetrically opened near its upper and lower ends to cooperate with the annular baffle. A set of outer fastening holes is opened in the middle of the semi-circular plate, and the positions of the outer fastening holes correspond one-to-one with the positions of the inner fastening holes. The fastening screw can be screwed into the inner fastening hole through the outer fastening hole.
[0010] Furthermore, in the aforementioned bimetallic reducer worm gear, the outer side of the annular body is provided with symmetrical positioning protrusions about the keyway, and the inner side of the outer ring is provided with positioning grooves that cooperate with the positioning protrusions.
[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned bimetallic reducer worm gear, each of the outer ring components is mounted on the outside of the inner ring component by two fastening screws, the included angle between the centers of the two fastening screws is 90 degrees, and the included angle between the centers of each fastening screw and the adjacent end of the outer ring component is 45 degrees.
[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned bimetallic reducer worm gear, the maximum thickness of the inner ring component is equal to the maximum thickness of the outer ring component.
[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned bimetallic reducer worm gear, the outer diameter of the annular baffle in the inner ring component is smaller than the outer diameter of the outer circular plate in the outer ring component.
[0014] Furthermore, in the aforementioned bimetallic reducer worm gear, the position of the outer fastening hole is offset from the position of the semi-circular groove.
[0015] Furthermore, in the aforementioned bimetallic reducer worm gear, the inner ring is made of a steel-based material.
[0016] Furthermore, in the aforementioned bimetallic reducer worm gear, the outer ring is made of a copper-based material.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] This utility model has a reasonable structural design, mainly consisting of an inner ring, an outer ring, and fastening screws. There are two outer rings, each mounted on the outside of the inner ring via fastening screws. Firstly, by using an outside mounting method, the assembly operation is not affected by the specifications of the inner ring, facilitating assembly. Secondly, by adding an annular baffle to the inner ring and a semi-circular groove to the outer ring that mates with the annular baffle, the axial limiting structure formed by the annular baffle and the semi-circular groove distributes the axial misalignment force borne by the fastening screws. This prevents significant deformation of the fastening screws and facilitates the subsequent easy disassembly and replacement of the outer rings.
[0019] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the above advantages at the same time. Attached Figure Description

There are two outer rings 2, which are respectively installed on the outside of the inner ring 1 by fastening screws 3.
[0031] In this embodiment, the inner ring component 1 includes a ring body 101. The upper and lower ends of the ring body 101 are provided with annular baffles 102 with increased diameter. The ring body 101 and the annular baffles 102 are provided with keyways 103 at the edge of the inner hole.

[0032] In this embodiment, the outer ring component 2 includes a semi-circular plate 201. The outer side of the semi-circular plate 201 is evenly distributed with protruding teeth 202. The semi-circular plate 201 has symmetrically formed semi-circular arc grooves 203 near its upper and lower ends, which mate with the annular baffle 102. A set of external fastening holes 204 are formed in the middle of the semi-circular plate 201. The positions of the external fastening holes 204 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the internal fastening holes 104, allowing the fastening screws 3 to be screwed into the internal fastening holes 104 via the external fastening holes 204.
[0033] In this embodiment, the outer side of the ring 101 is provided with positioning protrusions symmetrically about the keyway 103. The cross-section of the positioning protrusion is rectangular, and the angle between the length direction of the positioning protrusion and the keyway is 90 degrees. The inner side of the outer ring 2 is provided with positioning grooves that cooperate with the positioning protrusions.
[0034] In this embodiment, each outer ring 2 is installed on the outside of the inner ring 1 by two fastening screws 3. The included angle between the centers of the two fastening screws 3 is 90 degrees, and the included angle between the centers of each fastening screw 3 and the adjacent end of the outer ring 2 is 45 degrees.
[0035] In this embodiment, the maximum thickness of the inner ring 1 is equal to the maximum thickness of the outer ring 2.
