DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] The structure and functional characteristics of the worm gear linear drive structure and module of the utility model will be described according to the preferred embodiments of the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1A , Figure 1B , Figure 2A and Figure 2BThe utility model discloses a worm gear linear drive structure 1, including: one inner helical tooth component 10, a bar 20, plurality of worm gear groups 30 and one pre -compression spare group 40, the structure and configuration relation of each component will be explained in order below.

[0052] As Figure 1A , Figure 2A and Figure 2B The inner helical tooth component 10 is in the structure of cylinder (hollow cylinder), and defines the inner hole 100 extending along the axial direction. The inner peripheral surface of the inner helical tooth component 10 is provided with the helical tooth structure 100t.

[0053] The bar 20 is arranged in the inner hole 100 of the inner helical tooth component 10 and extends along the axial direction. The bar 20 can adopt circular, oval, square or polygonal geometric section according to design requirements.

[0054] As Figure 2B The outer peripheral surface of the bar 20 is provided with a smooth surface 20s in at least part of the region.

[0055] As Figure 2A and Figure 2B The plurality of worm gear groups 30 are arranged in the inner hole 100 of the inner helical tooth component 10 and are arranged between the inner helical tooth component 10 and the bar 20.

[0056] As Figure 1B Each worm gear group 30 comprises a retaining member 301, at least one worm gear 302, at least one worm gear shaft 303 and at least two worm gear bearings 304. This embodiment takes three worm gear groups 30 as an example, each worm gear group 30 comprises two worm gears 302, two worm gear shafts 303 and four worm gear bearings 304.

[0057] The retaining member 301 has a body 301b and two pairs of end portions 301e extending from both sides of the body 301b, each end portion 301e is provided with a through hole 301h, and the interval space 301p is defined between the opposite end portions 301e. Two worm gears 302 are arranged in the interval space 301p corresponding to the two opposite end portions 301e respectively.

[0058] As Figure 1B The worm gear 302 is in the structure of cylinder, and the outer peripheral surface is provided with the tooth structure 302t.

[0059] As Figure 1B and Figure 2AAs shown, the outer peripheral surface of the worm gear 302 is further formed with a concave profile 302c, the shape of which corresponds to the outer peripheral profile of the rod 20, thereby enabling close contact with the rod 20. In this embodiment, the tooth structure 302t of the worm gear 302 is composed of two rows of racks arranged circumferentially, and the concave profile 302c is formed between the two rows of racks.

[0060] like Figure 1B As shown, the worm gear bearing 304 is disposed within the inner hole 302h of the worm gear 302, while the worm gear shaft 303 is sequentially disposed within the retaining member through hole 301h, the worm gear bearing 304, and the worm gear 302. The combination of the worm gear shaft 303 and the worm gear bearing 304 provides stable support and positioning for the worm gear 302, ensuring its stable rotation during operation.

[0061] Please see Figure 1B , Figure 2B , Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown. Figure 1B , Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, each preload assembly 40 is positioned radially outward from the three sets of worm gear assemblies 30, and is respectively disposed between two adjacent retainers 301 to apply preload to each worm gear assembly 30. Thereby, the radial preload applied to the retainers 301 by the preload assembly 40 causes each worm gear 302 to be pressed tightly towards the rod 20, thereby forming a stable and controllable static friction force between the worm gear 302 and the rod 20.

[0062] In this embodiment, three sets of pre-compression components 40, each of which contains a plurality of torque plates 401, are used as an example for illustration.

[0063] like Figure 1B As shown, each preload assembly 40 includes a plurality of torque plates 401, each torque plate 401 being generally plate-shaped and having a hook portion 402. For example... Figure 1B and Figure 3A As shown, the torsion plates 401 are stacked in groups to form multiple torsion plate groups 401g. Each torsion plate group 401g is disposed between two pairs of ends on the corresponding two retainers 301 and is secured to the radial outer side of the two retainers 301 by the hooks 402 to apply preload to the retainers 301.

[0064] like Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, each worm gear assembly 30 can withstand radial preload by the preload applied by each torsion plate assembly 401g. This preload is then transmitted to the worm gear 302, causing the worm gear 302 to press tightly against the rod 20, thereby forming a stable static friction contact between the worm gear 302 and the rod 20, ensuring that the power of the internal helical gear component 10 when rotating can be smoothly transmitted to the rod 20.

[0065] In addition, by selecting torsion sheets 401 with different elastic coefficients or different numbers of stacked torsion sheets 401, the pre-pressing force can be adjusted, and thus the strength of the static friction between the worm gears 302 and the rod members 20 can be controlled to meet different driving requirements.

[0066] Furthermore, to make the adjustment of the friction more flexible and fine, the present embodiment can adjust the friction between the worm gears 302 and the rod members 20 in the following ways:

[0067] First, by adjusting the interference amount of the torsion sheets 401 (for example, selecting torsion sheets with different thicknesses or adjusting the compression degree during assembly), the pre-pressing force applied by the pre-pressing member set 40 to the worm gears 302 can be changed, thereby indirectly changing the friction between the worm gears 302 and the rod members 20.

[0068] Furthermore, the surface of the rod member 20 can also be treated, such as applying a coating, changing the material, or adjusting the surface roughness, to change the friction coefficient of the surface of the rod member 20, thereby adjusting the static friction between the worm gears 302 and the rod members 20.

[0069] The design of the pre-pressing member set 40 of the present utility model is not limited to the torsion sheets 401 disclosed above, and other elastic members with similar functions can also be used, such as ring-shaped or other shaped elastic members. As long as the elastic members can apply appropriate pre-pressing force to each worm gear set 30 to establish static friction between the worm gears 302 and the rod members 20, they are all feasible implementation manners of the present utility model.

[0070] As shown in FIGS. Figure 1A and Figure 2B The worm linear drive structure 1 further includes at least one main bearing 50, at least one fixed frame 60, and at least one sliding bushing 70. The present embodiment takes two main bearings 50, two fixed frames 60, and two sliding bushings 70 as an example for illustration.

[0071] The two main bearings 50 are respectively arranged on the inner circumferential surfaces of the two opposite end portions of the inner helical tooth member 10, and can provide the radial support required for the rotation of the inner helical tooth member 10.

[0072] The two fixed frames 60 are respectively arranged on the axial outer sides of the two main bearings 50, one end portion of each fixed frame 60 can be inserted into the through hole of the main bearing 50, and the outer diameter of the end portion matches the inner diameter of the through hole of the main bearing 50, thereby forming a fitting positioning relationship. The fixed frame 60 is provided with a through inner hole 60h, and the inner hole 60h has multiple sections, wherein the larger diameter section is used to assemble the sliding bushing 70, and the smaller diameter section is used to pass the rod member 20.

[0073] Two sliding bushings 70 are respectively assembled in the larger diameter section of the inner hole 60h of the two fixed frames 60, and each sliding bushing 70 is provided with a through hole 70h, the inner diameter of which matches the outer diameter of the rod member 20, so that the rod member 20 can be passed through and provide radial guidance and positioning effect during operation, ensuring the stability and coaxial accuracy of the movement of the rod member 20.

[0074] As shown in Figure 2B , when the inner helical tooth member 10 is driven to rotate, the helical tooth structure 100t provided on the inner periphery thereof is in cross engagement with the outer peripheral tooth structure 302t of the worm wheel 302, so as to synchronously drive the worm wheel 302 to rotate. During the rotation of the worm wheel 302, the rotational torque is effectively converted into thrust by the frictional contact between the worm wheel 302 and the rod member 20, so as to push the rod member 20 to move linearly along the axial direction.

[0075] As shown in Figure 3A and Figure 3B , the worm wheels 302 of the three groups of worm wheel sets 30 are distributed in the circumferential direction along the outer periphery of the rod member 20, and are stably and tightly attached to the outer periphery of the rod member 20 under the action of the radial pre-pressing force applied by the pre-pressing member set 40.

[0076] As shown in Figure 3B , the shape of the recessed profile 302c of the outer periphery of each worm wheel 302 corresponds to the outer peripheral profile of the rod member 20, so that the worm wheel 302 can form more closely and stably frictional contact with the rod member 20 when rotating.

[0077] As shown in Figure 4A and Figure 4B , when the rod member 20 is driven in the reverse direction due to external force F, if the external force F exceeds the static frictional force that can be formed between the rod member 20 and the worm wheel 302 by frictional contact, the relative sliding (slip) phenomenon will occur between the smooth surface 20s of the rod member 20 and the worm wheel 302.

[0078] In this embodiment, the worm linear drive structure is composed of an inner helical tooth component, a plurality of worm gears and a rod, and is assisted by a pre-pressing component group to apply a pre-pressing force to the worm gear group to form a static friction force between the worm gear and the rod. When the inner helical tooth component is driven to rotate, the helical tooth structure thereof and the tooth structure of the worm gear produce cross meshing action to drive the worm gear to rotate synchronously. When the worm gear rotates, the friction contact formed between the recess profile provided on the outer circumferential surface thereof and the outer circumferential profile of the rod converts the rotary torque into thrust to push the rod to move linearly in the axial direction. In addition, when the rod is subjected to a reverse external force and the static friction force formed between the worm gear and the rod is exceeded, the rod can slide (slip) relative to the worm gear, thereby playing an overload protection function. By this design, excessive reaction force can be prevented from being directly transmitted to the worm gear, the inner helical tooth component and other driving components, thereby avoiding damage to the components due to bearing excessive load and improving the durability and operation safety of the overall driving system.

[0079] Referring to Figure 5 The second embodiment of the utility model provides a worm linear drive module 2, which is based on the worm linear drive structure 1 and further combines a rotary drive mechanism and a module packaging structure.

[0080] The worm linear drive module 2 comprises the worm linear drive structure 1, a housing 80, a stator 81 and a flange cover 83.

[0081] The housing 80 defines a receiving space AS, and the worm linear drive structure 1 is arranged in the receiving space AS.

[0082] The stator 81 is a ring-shaped structure and is fixedly arranged in the housing 80 and annularly arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the inner helical tooth component 10. The stator 81 can comprise an electromagnetic coil assembly (not shown in the figure), which generates a magnetic field after being energized to drive the inner helical tooth component 10 to rotate.

[0083] The flange cover 83 is mounted on one end of the housing 80 to close the receiving space AS. The housing 80 and the flange cover 83 can be respectively provided with through holes 80h and 83h, so that the rod 20 can pass through the through holes and extend in the axial direction to the outside of the worm linear drive module 2.

[0084] This embodiment is based on the architecture of the first embodiment and adds components such as a housing, a stator and a flange cover to form a module. The stator is annularly arranged on the outer side of the inner helical tooth component, generates a magnetic field after being energized to drive the inner helical tooth component to rotate, and generates linear motion of the rod through the friction transmission mechanism of the worm and the rod.

[0085] Referring to Figure 6The utility model discloses third embodiment provides a worm linear drive module 3, this worm linear drive module 3 with the worm linear drive module 2 of second embodiment is similar, the main difference is that this embodiment is by another rotor 90 and rotor structure 91 drive inner helical tooth component 10 rotation.

[0086] The worm linear drive module 3 includes the aforementioned worm linear drive structure 1, a housing 80', a stator 81', a rotor 90, a rotor structure 91 and an end cover 92.

[0087] The housing 80' defines a receiving space AS', and the aforementioned worm linear drive structure 1 is arranged in the receiving space AS'.

[0088] The stator 81' is a surrounding structure and is fixedly arranged inside the housing 80'. The stator 81' can include an electromagnetic coil assembly (not shown in the figure), which can generate a magnetic field after being powered on.

In addition, the rotor structure 91 is provided with a through hole, the inner diameter of the through hole matches the outer diameter of the rod 20, and the rod 20 is allowed to pass through the through hole.

[0091] When the rotor 90 is driven to rotate, the rotor structure 91 fixedly combined with the rotor 90 is also driven to rotate synchronously, and the inner helical tooth component 10 is also rotated through the combined relationship between the rotor structure 91 and the inner helical tooth component 10. The inner helical tooth component 10 further drives the worm wheel 302 to rotate through the cross meshing relationship between the inner helical tooth component 10 and the worm wheel 302, and the rotating worm wheel 302 pushes the rod 20 to move along the axial direction through the frictional contact between the outer circumferential surface of the worm wheel 302 and the rod 20, realizing the power transmission and linear driving function.

[0092] The end cover 92 is fixedly arranged at one end of the housing 80' and is used for closing the receiving space AS'. The housing 80' and the end cover 92 can be respectively provided with through holes 80h' and 92h, so that the rod 20 can pass through the through holes 80h' and 92h and extend along the axial direction to the outside of the worm linear drive module 3.

[0093] In this embodiment, the rotor and the rotor structure are designed to drive the inner helical tooth component, and the rotational motion is converted into the linear movement of the rod through the friction transmission mechanism between the worm wheel and the rod, thereby providing another modular design.

[0094] In summary, the worm gear linear drive structure and the worm gear linear drive module disclosed by each embodiment of the utility model, through the cross meshing design between the inner helical tooth component and the worm gear, cooperate the friction transmission mechanism between the worm gear and the rod component generated by the pre-pressure provided by the pre-pressure piece group, can efficiently and stably convert the rotary torque into the linear movement of the rod component, and can automatically slip when the rod component is subjected to abnormal load, preventing structural overload damage. Further, the second embodiment and the third embodiment further integrate the stator or the rotor driving mechanism directly in the housing, forming a modular structure, which not only helps to improve the system compactness, but also provides diversified application flexibility according to different application requirements.
