TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to transmission mechanism technical field especially relates to a kind of anti-abrasion worm mechanism. BACKGROUND
[0002] Traditional worm transmission mechanism generally adopts worm gear meshing structure, and there is large sliding friction between its tooth surface. In the long-term operation process, this sliding friction is easy to cause the surface material of guiding component to be abraded, heat accumulation to cause softening deformation, and then cause transmission precision to drop and mechanism to fail. Although high wear-resistant material or forced lubrication system is used to improve in prior art, there are still problems such as complex structure, short maintenance period. Especially under high load working condition, stress concentration phenomenon generated by sliding friction can accelerate fatigue damage of contact surface, which restricts the application of worm mechanism in precision transmission field.

[0006] Mounting plate;
[0007] Guiding cone, rotatably mounted on the mounting plate, the guiding cone is arranged along the length direction of the mounting plate, and at least a series is arranged along the width direction of the mounting plate;
[0008] Worm, the worm has worm thread on it, the addendum of the worm thread extends into the gap between adjacent two guiding cones, and the flank of the worm thread is in abutment with the side surface of the guiding cone.
[0009] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical scheme at least include:
[0010] 1. Friction form innovation: the dislocation cooperation of rolling guiding cone group and worm thread converts traditional sliding friction into rolling friction, which significantly reduces the risk of contact surface wear. Guiding cone adaptive rotation characteristics can dynamically adjust contact stress distribution to avoid material fatigue caused by local stress concentration.
