[0002] The sun gear is the core component of a planetary gear system, located at the center of the planetary gear set. It is typically a cylindrical shaft with an external gear. It meshes with the surrounding planetary gears, transmitting power and changing the gear ratio. The number of teeth and module of the sun gear are determined according to specific design requirements. Its main function is to transmit power from the input shaft to the planetary gears, or from the planetary gears to the output shaft, thereby regulating speed and torque. The sun gear structure includes a gear body and a gear ring. The gear ring is precision-machined to ensure accurate meshing with the planetary gears. It is typically made of high-strength steel or alloy steel, manufactured through forging, machining, and heat treatment to improve its strength, wear resistance, and fatigue resistance.

[0003] However, after prolonged use, the sun gear teeth inevitably lose lubrication or even break due to excessive friction. In this case, the sun gear will not rotate smoothly and will produce noise during transmission, causing abnormal noise in the entire device.

[0004] Therefore, a high-speed, low-noise sun gear is proposed to solve or alleviate the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] A high-speed, low-noise sun gear, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes several plates and several racks fixedly connected to the outer ring of the plates. Adjacent plates are detachably connected, and several racks have a common annular receiving space filled with grease. The two side walls of the racks have fine guide holes 7 that communicate with the receiving space. The two side walls of the racks also have expansion guide grooves 8 that communicate with the fine guide holes 7 and have the same length direction as the rack. The opening edge of the expansion guide groove 8 has a chamfer. The central axis of the fine guide hole 7 is tangent to the contour of the rack side wall.

[0028] The plurality of plates include a first end ring plate 1, a second end ring plate 4, and a first connecting ring 2 and a second connecting ring 3 detachably connected between the first end ring plate 1 and the second end ring plate 4. The plurality of racks include a first side rack 101, a first intermediate rack 201, a second intermediate rack 301, and a second side rack 401 respectively fixedly connected to the first end ring plate 1, the first connecting ring 2, the second connecting ring 3, and the second end ring plate 4. The first end ring plate 1 and the first side rack 101 are integrally formed, the first connecting ring 2 and the first intermediate rack 201 are integrally formed, the second connecting ring 3 and the second intermediate rack 301 are integrally formed, and the second end ring plate 4 and the second side rack 401 are integrally formed.

[0029] The accommodating space includes a first accommodating groove 102, a second accommodating groove 202, a third accommodating groove 302, and a fourth accommodating groove 402 respectively opened on the first side rack 101, the first intermediate rack 201, the second intermediate rack 301, and the second side rack 401. The distance between the first side rack 101 and the second side rack 401 is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the first intermediate rack 201 and the second intermediate rack 301. When the first end ring plate 1, the first connecting ring 2, the second connecting ring 3, and the second end ring plate 4 are detachably connected, the sides of the first side rack 101, the first intermediate rack 201, the second intermediate rack 301, and the second side rack 401 are fitted together.

[0030] The first end ring plate 1, the first connecting ring 2, the second connecting ring 3, and the second end ring plate 4 are all provided with several through holes 6.

The side of the first end ring plate 1 and the second end ring plate 4 that is far away from each other is provided with a groove 5 that is coaxially arranged with the through holes 6.

[0031] In actual operation, the sun gear may experience friction and vibration due to lack of lubrication. The heat from the sun gear will be transferred to the grease in the receiving space. Due to vibration, heat, and centrifugal force from the rotation of the sun gear, the grease in the receiving space will gradually leave the interior of the sun gear through the fine guide hole 7. When the grease leaves the fine guide hole 7, it enters the expansion guide groove 8. Guided by the expansion guide groove 8, the grease will slowly expand outward through the chamfer at the edge of the opening of the expansion guide groove 8, so that the grease can adhere to the surface of the first side rack 101, the second side rack 401, the first intermediate rack 201, and the second intermediate rack 301, thus preventing the sun gear from lacking lubrication during operation.

[0032] If the teeth in the sun gear are damaged, the operator can determine whether the damage is to the first side rack 101, the first intermediate rack 201, the second intermediate rack 301, or the second side rack 401. The operator can then replace the corresponding teeth as needed. Simply remove the bolt and nut structure, remove the bolt and nut from the through hole 6, and then replace the corresponding first end ring plate 1, first connecting ring 2, second connecting ring 3, or second end ring plate 4. After replacement, the bolt and nut structure can be reconnected.

[0033] In summary, the teeth of the sun gear are less likely to lose lubrication or even break. In this case, the sun gear can rotate smoothly during rotation and there will be no noise during transmission, thus avoiding abnormal noise from the entire device.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
