AI Technical Summary
Existing workpiece positioning reducers have significant drawbacks in terms of space utilization efficiency, especially the traditional straight and L-shaped arrangements, which lead to increased axial length or excessive internal space occupation.
The servo motor adopts a U-shaped layout structure, with the motor shaft and the motor pinion integrated. The large gear and the output shaft are connected by an interference fit. The external gear is located outside the housing. The servo motor directly drives the motor pinion, which meshes with the large gear. The output shaft drives the external gear to achieve rotational or linear motion. A sealing structure is installed inside the housing to prevent oil leakage.
This results in a more compact overall structure for the speed reducer, making it suitable for installation in confined spaces, saving equipment installation space, providing high drive strength, and optimizing costs.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of speed reducers, and in particular to a speed reducer for workpiece positioning. Background Technology
[0002] Existing workpiece positioning reducers generally adopt traditional straight-line or L-shaped arrangements, which have significant drawbacks in terms of space utilization efficiency. Specifically:
[0003] (1) Linear arrangement, usually adopts a design scheme of multi-stage gear sets arranged in series along a single axis. For example, a three-stage reduction mechanism needs to arrange the input shaft, intermediate transmission shaft and output shaft in sequence, which directly leads to the axial length increasing exponentially with the reduction ratio;
[0004] (2) The L-shaped right angle arrangement changes the power transmission direction by 90 degrees through the orthogonal axis design, which can theoretically optimize the planar layout space. However, there is still a structural contradiction in actual application. The volume ratio of the internal bevel gear or worm gear transmission components is relatively high, which means that the gearbox needs to reserve a large installation space in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, a reducer for workpiece positioning is provided, which adopts a U-shaped arrangement structure and is suitable for arrangement in narrow spaces.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a reducer for workpiece positioning, including a servo motor, a housing, and an external gear that meshes with a gear or rack of an external client to perform rotational or linear reciprocating motion. The housing is provided with a motor pinion, a large gear, and an output shaft. The servo motor is driven and connected to the motor pinion. The motor pinion and the motor shaft of the servo motor are an integral structure. The large gear is installed at one end of the output shaft, and the motor pinion meshes with the large gear for transmission. The external gear is installed at the other end of the output shaft and is located outside the housing. The motor shaft of the servo motor, the motor pinion, the large gear, the output shaft, and the external gear form a U-shaped arrangement structure.
[0007] To be further specific, in the above technical solution, the large gear and the output shaft are connected by an interference fit.
[0008] To be further specific, in the above technical solution, the output shaft and the external gear are connected by bolts, and the output shaft is provided with a positioning stop to ensure connection accuracy.
[0009] To be further specific, in the above technical solution, the servo motor is equipped with an encoder for implementing closed-loop control.
[0010] To be further specific, in the above technical solution, the housing is also equipped with a cover plate for sealing the motor pinion, gear and output shaft in the inner cavity of the housing, and a sealing gasket to prevent oil leakage is installed between the housing and the cover plate.
[0011] To be further specific, in the above technical solution, the output shaft is supported in the housing by a first bearing and a second bearing, both of which are tapered roller bearings.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a workpiece positioning reducer, which adopts a more compact U-shaped arrangement structure, suitable for arrangement in some narrow spaces. It directly drives the motor pinion through a servo motor. The motor shaft and the motor pinion are integrated into one structure, resulting in higher driving strength. The motor pinion drives the large gear, the large gear drives the output shaft, and the output shaft drives the external gear. The external gear meshes with the gear or rack of the external client, which can realize rotational and linear reciprocating motion respectively. The overall axial dimension of the reducer is shorter, saving equipment installation space and reducing costs. Attached Figure Description
