[0025] The right tooth structure includes a spacer 10, a screw 11, an end cap 12, an inner tooth 14, and a sealing ring 2.

[0027] A baffle 7 is provided between the inner tooth 1 and the inner tooth 2 14, and an anti-collision pin 13 is installed on the baffle 7. The anti-collision pin 13 is adapted to the end cap 1 and the end cap 2 12.
[0028] The inner gear 1, inner gear 2 14, and baffle 7 are connected and fixed by a connecting structure.

[0030] For humidity levels of 90%–96%, 2 mg / m³ 3 In salt spray environments, before coating equipment, the surface to be coated must be treated to achieve Sa2.5 and a roughness of 40-80um, and coating products suitable for marine atmospheric environments should be used.
[0031] For vertical installations in vibrating environments that require stability, a baffle and anti-collision pins are installed, which are tightly fitted together. The anti-collision pins are designed with ball heads at both ends, which can provide axial positioning while allowing for a certain degree of deviation during operation, and have the ability to compensate for radial, axial and angular axis deviations.
[0032] The working principle of the drum-shaped gear coupling provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0033] First step: Internal gear 1 and internal gear 2 14 are connected to the two end shafts respectively. External gear ring 5 is sleeved on internal gear 1 and external gear ring 2 9 is sleeved on internal gear 2 14. The meshing structure of the external gear ring and the internal gear allows the two shafts to have certain deviations in the radial, axial and angular directions, thereby realizing shaft deviation compensation. When the two shafts are relatively offset, the external gear ring can swing within a certain range, transmit torque through the meshing of the tooth surfaces, and adapt to the relative displacement of the shafts at the same time.
[0034] The second step: The sealing ring 12 is fitted onto the inner tooth 1, and the sealing groove 1 on its inner wall is fitted with the pressure cap 3. The pressure cap 3 is connected and fixed to the inner tooth 1 by the pressure cap bolt 4 to form a sealing structure to prevent external dust, liquid and other impurities from entering the interior of the left tooth structure. Similarly, the spacer 10 is fitted onto the inner tooth 14, and the sealing ring 2 is installed in the sealing groove 2 to achieve the sealing of the right tooth structure and effectively protect the internal tooth surface and connecting parts.
[0035] Third step: A baffle 7 is set between the inner gear 1 and the inner gear 2 14. The anti-collision pin 13 installed on the baffle 7 is adapted to the end cover 1 and the end cover 2 12. When the equipment starts, stops or is impacted, the anti-collision pin 13 can limit the displacement of the end cover, play an axial positioning and anti-impact role, and prevent the parts from being damaged by collision.
[0036] Fourth step: External gear ring 1 5 and external gear ring 2 9 are clamped to the connecting baffle 7 by connecting bolts 6 and nuts 8, fixing the left gear structure, right gear structure and baffle 7 into a whole, ensuring that the components work together, the force is evenly distributed when transmitting torque, and improving the overall stability and reliability of the coupling.
