[0002] Planetary gear reducers reduce friction, wear, and extend gear life through lubrication. However, traditional lubrication methods require manual addition of lubricating oil to lubricate the gear components, which increases the burden.

[0003] The prior art, disclosed in patent document CN219082181U, presents the following technical solution: a planetary gear for a speed reducer that facilitates drip lubrication, comprising a ring gear and a planetary carrier. A disk is fixedly connected to one side of the ring gear, and an input shaft is movably connected to one side of the disk.

A rotating block is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating rod, and a top block is provided on one side of the rotating block, with the top block located within the notch. A torsion spring is movably connected to the outer circumference of the rotating rod, and both ends of the torsion spring are fixed to the rotating rod and the input shaft, respectively.

[0004] The above technical solution enables the planetary gears to self-lubricate through rotation, but the remaining lubricating oil dripping into the ring gear cannot be collected, resulting in a waste of lubricating oil. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-lubricating structure for a planetary gear reducer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-lubricating structure for a planetary gear reducer, comprising a reducer housing, a collection groove being provided on the bottom side of the reducer housing, and a lubricating oil collection structure being installed in the collection groove.

[0007] The lubricating oil collection structure includes a collection frame. L-shaped mounting grooves are provided at both ends of the front side of the collection frame. A second spring telescopic rod is provided inside each L-shaped mounting groove. An L-shaped insertion plate is provided on the other side of each spring telescopic rod. The outer wall of the L-shaped insertion plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped mounting groove. Mounting plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the front side of the reducer housing, located at the opening of the collection groove. Insertion grooves are provided at opposite ends of the two mounting plates. The L-shaped insertion plates are inserted into the insertion grooves. Limiting holes are provided between the L-shaped insertion plates and the collection frame. Limiting rods are inserted between the limiting holes. An internal gear ring is provided in the circumferential direction on the inner side of the reducer housing. Leakage holes are arranged on the bottom side of the internal gear ring and are located above the collection frame.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the lubricating oil dripping and accumulating at the bottom of the internal gear ring can be collected in the collection frame through the leakage hole, and can be removed and poured out at any time during operation.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the internal gear ring is meshed with planetary gears, and the planetary gears are meshed with sun gears.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, an oil storage chamber is provided on one side of the planetary gear, and a sealing cover is provided at the opening of the oil storage chamber by means of a rivet.

[0011] In the above technical solution, when replenishing lubricating oil in the oil reservoir, the reducer housing can be disassembled and the rivets around the sealing cover can be removed to replenish lubricating oil in the oil reservoir.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, oil outlet holes are arranged on the outer side of the oil storage cavity, the oil outlet holes are located between two teeth, and each oil outlet hole is provided with an oil outlet pipe.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, an annular frame is fixedly connected to one end of the oil outlet pipe, a spring telescopic rod is provided on the inner side of the annular frame, and a sealing block is provided on the other end of the spring telescopic rod.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the centrifugal force causes the spring telescopic rod to swing outward, causing the sealing block to separate from the oil sealing port, thereby allowing the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber to leak out.

[0015] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, an oil sealing port is provided at one end of the inner side of the oil outlet pipe, and the sealing block is sealed inside the oil sealing port.

[0016] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the outer wall of the collection frame is slidably connected to the inner wall of the collection trough.

[0017] The above technical solution facilitates the retrieval of the collection box and has a positioning function.

[0018] This utility model provides a self-lubricating structure for a planetary gear reducer, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] (1) This utility model opens an oil storage chamber in the planetary gear and opens an oil outlet hole around the oil storage chamber. When the planetary gear rotates, the spring extension rod is thrown outward due to centrifugal force, and the sealing block is separated from the oil sealing port, so that the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber can be leaked out. Through meshing, the internal gear ring, sun gear and planetary gear are self-lubricated. The planetary gear is set around the perimeter, so the lubrication effect is faster.

[0020] (2) By installing a lubricating oil collection structure, the lubricating oil dripping and accumulating at the bottom of the inner gear ring can be collected in the collection frame through the leakage hole. During the operation, it can be removed and poured out at any time. The user can remove the limiting rods at both ends and press the L-shaped plug plates on both sides to disengage them from the plug slot, so that the collection frame can be taken out for easy replacement and simple operation.

Through meshing, the internal gear ring 11, the sun gear 12 and the planetary gear 13 are self-lubricated, and the planetary gear 13 is arranged around the perimeter, so that the lubrication effect is faster.
