Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of knitting machine technology, and specifically relates to an oil seal structure between the knitting machine's main shaft and its gear. Background Technology
[0002] In knitting machines, the knitting machine auger and auger gear, as core transmission components, endure high-speed, high-load operation for extended periods. Their surfaces are prone to wear, which affects transmission efficiency and shortens service life. Therefore, lubricating oil is required between the auger and auger gear. The specific structure is as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, the L-shaped bend 21 on the outer periphery of the large cauldron gear 2 fits into the gear groove 12 of the large cauldron 1. The gear groove of the large cauldron is filled with lubricating oil for lubrication, which can reduce the wear between the large cauldron and the large cauldron gear, reduce frictional resistance, improve transmission efficiency, and also has the functions of heat dissipation, cooling and rust prevention.
[0003] When moving a knitting machine, the entire machine will shake and tilt, causing the gears in the large cauldron to wobble relative to it. Figure 1-2 As shown, since the bottom surface of the large cauldron gear 2 and the reinforcing rib 13 on the top surface of the large cauldron 1 are in a clearance fit, if the large cauldron gear 2 shakes relative to the large cauldron 1, the gap between the bottom surface of the large cauldron gear 2 and the reinforcing rib 13 of the large cauldron will increase. The lubricating oil in the gear groove 12 can easily flow through this gap into the barrel mounting hole 14 in the middle of the large cauldron, and then into the knitting machine. Besides the overall shaking of the equipment, after prolonged use, the lubricating oil can also easily splash upwards and flow into the equipment through the gap between the large cauldron gear and the large cauldron. The lubricating oil flowing into the equipment will contaminate the internal structure of the knitting machine and may also cause short circuits and damage to the internal circuitry, increasing maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an oil seal structure between the cauldron and the cauldron gear of a knitting machine, wherein a boss and groove are provided between the cauldron and the cauldron gear to reduce the flow of lubricating oil into the equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is as follows: an oil seal structure between a knitting machine's main cauldron and a main cauldron gear, comprising a main cauldron and a main cauldron gear.

The inner side of the gear groove has an annular reinforcing rib. The outer periphery of the main cauldron gear extends downward to form an L-shaped bend. The bottom surface of the main cauldron gear has an annular boss extending downward. The boss is located on the inner side of the bend. The reinforcing rib has an annular groove. When the bend is engaged in the gear groove, the boss is embedded in the groove to prevent lubricating oil from flowing into the knitting machine.
[0006] Further, the outer peripheral wall of the reinforcing rib horizontally extends outwardly by a ring of the stopper, which is located above the lubricating oil.
[0007] Further, a gap is left between the surface of the boss and the groove surface of the groove.
[0008] Further, the boss is a rectangular boss structure in cross section, and the groove is a rectangular groove matched with the boss.
[0009] Further, the top surface of the large cauldron is provided with a plurality of annular reinforcing ribs, and a strip-shaped reinforcing rib is arranged radially to connect all the annular reinforcing ribs, a gear groove is formed between one annular reinforcing rib closest to the outer ring wall of the large cauldron and the outer ring wall, and a groove and a stopper are arranged on the reinforcing rib.
[0010] Further, the middle part of the large cauldron is provided with an inner ring wall extending upward and downward, the inner part of the inner ring wall is provided with a cannon barrel mounting hole, and three annular reinforcing ribs are arranged between the inner ring wall and the outer ring wall.
[0011] Further, the middle part of the large cauldron gear is provided with a center column, the inner part of the center column is provided with a center hole, and the center hole is located above the cannon barrel mounting hole.
[0012] Further, the outer periphery of the center column is provided with a plurality of fan-shaped through grooves, and a raised strip for reinforcement is arranged between adjacent through grooves.
[0013] Further, the outer periphery of the large cauldron is provided with a mounting table in communication with the gear groove, the mounting table is provided with a main shaft hole for mounting a main shaft and a driving gear, and the driving gear is engaged with the large cauldron gear.
[0014] After the above scheme is adopted, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:
[0015] The large cauldron gear is provided with a ring of bosses extending downward on the inner side of the bending part, and a groove matched with the boss is arranged on the reinforcing rib of the large cauldron. After the large cauldron and the large cauldron gear are assembled, the bending part of the large cauldron gear will be matched in the gear groove, at the same time, the boss will be embedded in the groove to form a structure similar to a labyrinth seal. Even if the whole knitting machine equipment shakes and tilts, the boss will not be separated from the groove. The cooperation of the boss and the groove can prevent the lubricating oil in the gear groove from penetrating into the cannon barrel mounting hole in the middle part of the large cauldron, reduce the pollution of the internal structure of the equipment by the lubricating oil, avoid the short circuit of the internal circuit of the equipment, improve the service life of the equipment, and reduce the maintenance cost.
