Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of worm gear reducer technology, and in particular to a low-vibration and noise-reducing worm gear reducer. Background Technology

[0002] A worm gear reducer is a mechanical device that uses the meshing between a worm and a worm wheel to achieve speed reduction and transmission. With its unique transmission method, the worm gear reducer provides high-efficiency speed reduction while ensuring the stability and safety of the system, making it an important component of modern mechanical transmission systems.

[0003] During operation, speed reducers generate vibration and noise due to factors such as gear meshing errors, unbalanced rotating parts, inappropriate lubrication, material defects, and structural loosening. These problems can lead to a series of adverse consequences, such as accelerated wear of mechanical parts, shortened equipment lifespan, and increased maintenance costs. Furthermore, excessively high noise levels not only affect the working environment but may also harm the health of operators, causing hearing damage and increased psychological stress. In addition, significant vibration may cause resonance in the entire machine or its components, further exacerbating the risk of mechanical failure and potentially leading to decreased production efficiency, or even, in extreme cases, safety accidents. Therefore, effective control and optimization of speed reducer vibration and noise are crucial for improving equipment reliability, extending service life, and improving the working environment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a low-vibration, low-noise worm gear reducer.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the shock absorber includes: an airbag, the sidewall of which is fixed to the inner side of the noise reduction cover; and a connecting pipe, which is connected to the airbag and used to control the expansion and contraction of the airbag.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 A low-vibration noise-reducing worm gear reducer includes a reducer body 1, a noise-reducing cover 5, a mounting frame 6, and shock absorbers. The reducer body 1 has a base 3 fixed to its bottom, which is fixed to the mounting position by bolt 4. A rubber pad 15 is fixed to the bottom of the base 3 to reduce the vibration at the bottom of the reducer body 1. A cooling pipe 2 is connected to the reducer body 1, and coolant flows through the cooling pipe 2 to cool the oil tank inside the reducer body 1. The reducer body 1 is located inside the noise-reducing cover 5. The noise-reducing cover 5 has several openings 8 for the shaft of the reducer body 1 to pass through. The end cap of the reducer body 1 passes through the openings 8, so that the inside of the openings 8 can support the end cap and reduce the vibration at the shaft position. Several air holes 14 are opened on the side wall of the noise-reducing cover 5 to ensure the heat dissipation of the reducer body 1. The mounting frame 6 is fixedly sleeved on the bottom of the side wall of the noise-reducing cover 5 and is fixed to the mounting position by bolt 7.

[0025] The shock absorber is located between the reducer body 1 and the noise reduction cover 5. The shock absorber includes an airbag 9 and a connecting pipe 10. The side wall of the airbag 9 is fixed to the inner side of the noise reduction cover 5. The connecting pipe 10 is connected to the airbag 9 and is used to control the expansion and contraction of the airbag 9. The side wall of the airbag 9 near the reducer body 1 can deform. After inflation, it can adapt to and adhere to the side wall of the reducer body 1, thereby absorbing the vibration energy of the side wall of the reducer body 1. The airbag 9 and the noise reduction cover 5 can reduce the noise of the reducer body 1 during operation and effectively improve the working environment. Furthermore, a cooling pipe 13 is fixedly installed inside the airbag 9. The cooling pipe 13 has a three-dimensional spiral structure and is located on the inner side of the airbag 9 away from the reducer body 1. Coolant is introduced into its interior. In this way, the cooling pipe 12 dissipates heat to the inside of the reducer body 1, and the cooling pipe 13 dissipates heat to the side wall of the reducer body 1, effectively preventing the setting of the airbag 9 and the noise reduction cover 5 from affecting the heat dissipation performance of the device.

[0026] Furthermore, the noise reduction cover 5 is equipped with fasteners inside, including a compression frame 12 and an airbag 11. The compression frame 12 is slidably connected to the inner side of the noise reduction cover 5. The compression frame 12 is sleeved on the reducer body 1 and is located above the bolt 4. The top of the airbag 11 is fixed to the bottom of the airbag 9, and the bottom of the airbag 11 is fixed to the upper surface of the compression frame 12. The airbag 11 is connected to the airbag 9. The cross-section of the airbag 11 is a U-shaped structure. The airbag 11 can expand or contract in the vertical direction. When the airbag 11 is inflated, the compression frame 12 can move down and apply pressure to the bolt 4 to maintain the stability of the connection between the base 3 and the installation position.

[0027] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] The noise reduction cover 5 is placed on the reducer body 1 and fixed in place by the mounting frame 6 and bolt 7. At this time, the reducer body 1 is located inside the noise reduction cover 5. Then, the staff inflates the connecting pipe 10 with an air pump or other device. After the airbag 9 inflates, its sidewall can adapt to the shape of the sidewall of the reducer body 1 and deform. In this way, the airbag 9 is in contact with the sidewall of the reducer body 1. When the reducer body 1 vibrates, the airbag 9 deforms and absorbs the vibration energy. In addition, during the inflation of the airbag 9, the airbag 11 also inflates and expands. The airbag 11 extends downward and drives the compression frame 12 to move downward. The compression frame 12 can fit tightly with the bolt 4 and reinforce the position of the bolt 4. This design can effectively reduce vibration and noise, reduce the wear of the device, and the modular design between the noise reduction cover 5 and the reducer body 1 facilitates maintenance and replacement by the staff. It is also suitable for retrofitting existing reducer bodies 1 and has high economic benefits.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
