TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a high bearing capacity top hat type flexspline structure and belongs to the technical field of harmonic reducer. BACKGROUND
[0002] Harmonic gear transmission is a kind of gear transmission mode using the elastic deformation of flexible gear for motion or power transmission. The harmonic gear transmission is mainly composed of three basic components, i.e. a flexspline (flexible gear), a rigid gear and a wave generator. The transmission of motion or power is achieved by continuously deforming the flexspline under the action of the wave generator and interacting with the rigid gear.
[0003] The working principle of the harmonic gear transmission is as follows: when the cam wave generator with flexible bearing is installed in the inner hole of the thin-walled flexspline, the thin-walled flexspline is forced to deform elastically, the teeth at both ends of the long axis of the flexspline are fully engaged with the teeth of the rigid gear, while the teeth at the short axis are completely disengaged, and the teeth in different sections between the long axis and the short axis are engaged or disengaged; when the wave generator continuously rotates, the wave generator continuously converts the deformation of the flexspline, and the teeth of the flexspline are sequentially converted from engagement to disengagement, from disengagement to disengagement, from disengagement to engagement, and from engagement to engagement, so as to realize the rotation of the flexspline relative to the rigid gear in the opposite direction of the wave generator.
[0004] At present, the flexible gear in the harmonic gear transmission mainly has three structural forms of thin-walled circular ring, cup and top hat. Since the stress increase of the top hat harmonic flexspline under the condition of load increase is much lower than that of the thin-walled straight cylinder and cup flexspline, the top hat harmonic flexspline is more suitable for application under large load working conditions.
[0005] However, the top hat harmonic flexspline in the prior art often has the phenomenon of rupture at the transition fillet between the cylinder bottom and the cover plate during use. The reason for the rupture is that the maximum stress in the long axis direction and the short axis direction of the cam wave generator appears at the transition fillet between the cylinder bottom and the cover plate during use, and when the stress exceeds the allowable value, the rupture phenomenon occurs.
[0006] Therefore, the top hat harmonic flexspline in the prior art still has deficiencies and needs to be further improved. SUMMARY
[0007] The utility model aims at providing a high bearing capacity top hat type flexspline structure to overcome the deficiencies of the top hat flexspline in the prior art.
[0008] The utility model discloses a technical scheme: a high bearing capacity top hat shape flexible wheel structure, including thin -walled cylinder A and thin -walled cylinder B, the size of thin -walled cylinder A is less than the size of thin -walled cylinder B, and thin -walled cylinder A and thin -walled cylinder B are connected through thin -walled web A radially, and the open end of thin -walled cylinder A is input end, and the inner hole of input end is wave generator installation mouth, and the outer circle of wave generator installation mouth is equipped with transmission gear, and the open end of thin -walled cylinder B is output end, and output end is equipped with output connection flange, and output connection flange is connected through thin -walled web B radially with thin -walled cylinder B and radially extends outward.
[0009] In the high bearing capacity top hat shape flexible wheel structure, the diameter d1 of the thin-walled cylinder A and the diameter d2 of the thin-walled cylinder B have a relationship of d2=(1.24-1.36)d1.
[0010] In the high bearing capacity top hat shape flexible wheel structure, the opening size d of the output end of the thin-walled cylinder B and the diameter d1 of the thin-walled cylinder A have a relationship of d=(1.42-1.48)d1.
[0011] In the high bearing capacity top hat shape flexible wheel structure, the diameter D of the output connection flange and the diameter d1 of the thin-walled cylinder A have a relationship of D=(1.68-1.76)d1.
[0012] In the high bearing capacity top hat shape flexible wheel structure, the axial size L1 of the thin-walled cylinder A and the axial size L of the flexible wheel have a relationship of L1=(0.52-0.64)L.
[0013] In the high bearing capacity top hat shape flexible wheel structure, the axial size L2 of the thin-walled cylinder B and the axial size L of the flexible wheel have a relationship of L2=(0.18-0.27)L.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the stress condition of the top hat shape flexible wheel is changed after the technical scheme is adopted, and according to the flexible gear thin shell theory and finite element simulation analysis and calculation, it is shown that, under the condition that the gear parameters and the axial size L of the flexible wheel are the same, the bearing capacity of the flexible wheel structure of the utility model will be increased by 32-48% or even higher on the basis of the original, and the service life of the flexible wheel is improved.
