Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of speed reducer assembly technology, specifically to a speed reducer gear assembly auxiliary device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern mechanical transmission, the speed reducer is a core power conversion component, and its assembly accuracy directly affects the stability and lifespan of the equipment. As a key transmission component, gears must be assembled to ensure that the center of the gear is strictly coaxial with the output shaft. When pressing the gear during assembly, if the pressure block and the pressing plate are fixed on the same plane, the pressure block may not reach the assembly position due to the pressing plate contacting the large part in advance in deep holes or narrow spaces. This also requires the design of pressure heads of various lengths, increasing the difficulty of tooling management and production downtime. If the diameter of the pressure block is equal to or larger than the inner hole of the part, the insertion may be stuck or the inner hole surface may be scratched due to processing errors. If the spherical bottom surface is missing, the self-centering function will be lost, and the assembly will rely on a high-precision positioning system or manual calibration, which will significantly increase the assembly difficulty and error risk. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an auxiliary device for gear assembly of speed reducers. It has the advantage of being suitable for pressing gears in deep holes and narrow spaces, and solves the problem that the pressing block cannot reach the assembly position due to the pressing plate contacting the large parts too early.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the gear assembly auxiliary device for a speed reducer provided by this utility model.
[0026] Example 1:
[0027] The core requirement for gear assembly is concentricity and coaxiality. If the gear ring component is not fixed in the center, the center of the assembled gear may be offset from the axis of the reducer's output shaft. This will lead to uneven force distribution during gear meshing, resulting in periodic impact loads, exacerbating tooth surface wear, and increasing the risk of tooth breakage. To solve the above problems, combined with... Figures 1-3 As shown, the gear assembly auxiliary device for reducers provided by this utility model includes a worktable 100, an assembly slot 101 on the worktable 100, a calibration mechanism 300 on the worktable 100 for determining the center point of the reducer gear, which can fix the gear ring 303 component to be assembled in the center position, and a frame 102 is also fixedly connected to the worktable 100. The frame 102 is provided with a pressing mechanism 200, which can automatically press the gear component to realize automatic assembly.
[0028] If the pressure block 211 and the pressing plate 203 are fixed on the same plane, when the pressing plate 203 is pressed down as a whole, the bottom surface will contact the surface of the large part first, causing the pressure block 211 to be unable to penetrate the inner hole. To solve the above problem, the pressing mechanism 200 includes an electric push rod 201 fixed on the frame 102. The free end of the electric push rod 201 is fixedly connected to a bracket 202. The pressing plate 203 is fixedly connected to the bracket 202. The pressing plate 203 and the assembly groove 101 are located at the same center. The pressing plate 203 has a liftable pressure block 211 in the middle. First, the pressure block 211 is in the pressing plate 203. Then, the large part is placed in the assembly groove 101. Then, place the parts to be assembled in the corresponding positions of the large parts. At this time, the electric push rod 201 pushes the bracket 202 to move the pressing plate 203 downwards, so that it contacts the parts and assembles them with the large parts. When it is necessary to press the small parts into the large parts, the pressing block 211 needs to be moved downwards so that it is not on the same plane as the pressing plate 203. Following the above steps, the small parts and large parts can be pressed and assembled. The pressing block 211 extends out of the pressing plate 203 (the extension length is adjustable). Its diameter is slightly smaller than the inner hole of the parts. The spherical bottom surface automatically guides the centering, which is suitable for deep hole and narrow space pressing, and there is no need to replace the special pressing head.
[0029] For parts of different depths, multiple lengths of pressure heads need to be designed, increasing tooling costs and changeover time, and reducing production efficiency. To solve the above problems, a lead screw 208 is rotatably installed in the middle of the pressing plate 203. A square threaded sleeve 210 is threaded onto the lead screw 208. A limit plate is fixed inside the pressing plate 203. The square threaded sleeve 210 and the limit plate are slidably connected. The pressure block 211 is fixed to the bottom of the square threaded sleeve 210. A sliding sleeve 206 is also rotatably installed on the pressing plate 203. A meshing spur gear 209 and a spur gear 207 are respectively fitted on the lead screw 208 and the sliding sleeve 206. The rotation of the lead screw 208 causes the square threaded sleeve 210 to move downward. The pressure block 211 moves downward with the square threaded sleeve 210 to press the small parts for assembly.
[0030] Furthermore, a motor 204 is fixedly mounted on the frame 102. A transmission rod 205 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 204. The end of the transmission rod 205 extends into the sliding sleeve 206. A slider 212 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 205. The slider 212 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 206 through a sliding groove. When the motor 204 starts, it drives the transmission rod 205 to rotate. The transmission rod 205 drives the sliding sleeve 206 to rotate through the slider 212. The spur gear 207 rotates with the sliding sleeve 206. The spur gear 207 drives the lead screw 208 to rotate through the spur gear 209. The rotation of the lead screw 208 causes the square threaded sleeve 210 to move downward. The pressure block 211 moves downward with the square threaded sleeve 210 to press the small parts for assembly. The motor 204 does not need to move up and down with the pressing plate 203, avoiding damage to the motor 204 caused by vibration and improving the service life of the motor 204.
[0031] The bracket 202 is an inverted U-shape and does not contact the first spur gear 207 and the second spur gear 209.
[0032] As can be seen from the embodiment, the electric push rod 201 drives the pressing plate 203 to press down vertically. Its coaxial design with the assembly groove 101 ensures that the pressing force is applied evenly to the top surface of the part, avoiding edge deformation due to force, and is suitable for the flat assembly of large parts.
[0033] Example 2:
[0034] If the gear center is misaligned, it will cause uneven tooth backlash, resulting in vibration and noise during operation, and reducing the life of the reducer. To solve the above problems, combined with... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the calibration mechanism 300 includes multiple limiting frames 304 fixed to the workbench 100. A screw 305 is rotatably mounted inside each limiting frame 304. A limiting sleeve 307, which is slidably connected to the limiting frame 304, is threaded onto the screw 305. An arc-shaped plate 308 is fixed to one end of the limiting sleeve 307 near the assembly groove 101. The multiple screws 305 rotate, causing the limiting sleeve 307 to move. The arc-shaped plate 308 moves with the limiting sleeve 307, thereby pushing the gear component to the center position for fixation. This accurately determines and fixes the gear's center point, solving the problem of large deviations in traditional manual alignment. It ensures that the gear is coaxial with the assembly groove 101, adapts to gears of different outer diameters, and can quickly adapt to multiple specifications of parts without changing tooling. It avoids gear displacement during assembly, improving subsequent pressing accuracy and consistency.
[0035] Specifically, a second motor 301 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the workbench 100. The output end of the second motor 301 is fixedly connected to a transmission frame 302 located inside the workbench 100. A gear ring 303 is fixedly connected to the transmission frame 302. A spur gear 306 that meshes with the gear ring 303 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw 305. When the second motor 301 is started, it drives the transmission frame 302 to rotate. The transmission frame 302 drives the gear ring 303 to rotate. The gear ring 303 meshes with the spur gear 306 and rotates, thereby simultaneously driving the screw 305 to rotate.
[0036] As can be seen from the above embodiments: First, the large gear or basic component is placed in the assembly slot 101 of the workbench 100, so that its bottom surface is in contact with the bottom of the slot; then, the motor 301 at the bottom of the workbench 100 is started, and the transmission frame 302 at the output end of the motor 301 drives the gear ring 303 to rotate. The gear ring 303 meshes with the spur gear 306 at the end of the screw 305, driving multiple screws 305 to rotate synchronously. When the screws 305 rotate, the threaded limiting sleeve 307 slides along the limiting frame 304, driving the arc plate 308 at one end of the limiting sleeve 307 to move towards the center of the assembly slot 101, pushing the gear component to the center position; then, the electric push rod 201 on the frame 102 is started, and the bracket 202 at its free end drives the pressing plate 203 to move downward. Since the pressing plate 203 is coaxial with the assembly slot 101, the bottom surface of the pressing plate 203 contacts the top surface of the part to be assembled and continues to press down. The assembly continues until the parts are fully assembled with the large gear. If it is necessary to press the small parts into the large parts, first start the motor 204 on the frame 102. The motor 204 drives the sliding sleeve 206 to rotate through the transmission rod 205 and the slider 212. The spur gear 207 on the sliding sleeve 206 meshes with the spur gear 209 on the lead screw 208, causing the lead screw 208 to rotate and drive the square threaded sleeve 210 to slide along the limiting plate, causing the bottom pressing block 211 to extend from the middle of the pressing plate 203. Then, the electric push rod 201 pushes the pressing plate 203 to drive the pressing block 211 to press down, pressing the small parts into the inner hole of the large gear. After completion, the motor 204 reverses to retract the pressing block 211. After assembly, the electric push rod 201 rises to reset, and the motor 201 reverses to drive the screw 305 to loosen the gear on the arc plate 308, so that the assembled parts can be taken out, realizing the gear calibration, centering and pressing assembly.
