While they can meet basic transmission requirements to a certain extent, they have many shortcomings in practical applications: traditional gears are prone to stress concentration when subjected to large loads, and due to insufficient structural strength, they are prone to cracks or even breakage. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A high-strength gear with a reinforced structure may include a gear disk 10, a plurality of teeth 20 formed on the outer edge of the gear disk 10, a central reinforcing protrusion 30, a tooth root reinforcing protrusion ring 40, a plurality of main reinforcing ribs 50, a plurality of edge reinforcing protrusions 60, and a plurality of secondary reinforcing ribs 70.

[0020] In this embodiment, multiple gear teeth 20 are formed on the outer edge of the gear disk 10. A shaft connection hole 11 penetrating the gear disk 10 is formed at the center of the gear disk 10. Furthermore, multiple auxiliary mounting holes 12 penetrating the gear disk 10 and evenly distributed outside the shaft connection hole 11 are also formed on the gear disk 10. The gear disk 10 can be connected to a drive shaft or other structures through the shaft connection hole 11 and the auxiliary mounting holes 12, and transmission can be achieved using the gear teeth 20.

[0021] In this embodiment, a central reinforcing protrusion 30 protrudes from the end face of the gear disk 10 and covers the shaft connection hole 11. The central reinforcing protrusion 30 enhances the structural strength around the shaft connection hole 11, disperses the torque and pressure transmitted by the shaft, prevents cracks and fractures around the shaft connection hole 11, and improves the reliability of the gear under heavy loads. The central reinforcing protrusion 30, protruding from the end face of the gear disk 10 and covering the shaft connection hole 11, increases the material thickness and cross-sectional area around the shaft connection hole 11. When the shaft transmits torque, the central reinforcing protrusion 30 can withstand a portion of the stress, distributing the stress evenly to other parts of the gear disk 10 and preventing stress concentration around the shaft connection hole 11.

[0022] In this embodiment, a tooth root reinforcing ring 40 protrudes from the end face of the gear disk 10 and covers the transition area between the gear disk 10 and the multiple gear teeth 20. The tooth root reinforcing ring 40 is used to enhance the structural strength of the transition area between the gear disk 10 and the gear teeth 20, i.e., the tooth root portion, improve the bending strength and fatigue life of the gear, and effectively prevent tooth root fracture. The tooth root portion is one of the areas where the gear teeth 20 are most stressed. During the transmission process of the gear teeth 20, the gear teeth 20 are subjected to meshing forces, and the tooth root portion will generate large bending stress. The tooth root reinforcing ring 40 covers the transition area between the gear disk 10 and the multiple gear teeth 20, increases the thickness and rigidity of the tooth root portion, can resist the effect of bending stress, reduce the deformation and stress concentration of the tooth root portion, thereby improving the bending strength and fatigue life of the gear.

[0023] In this embodiment, the end face of the gear disk 10 has an edge reinforcement protrusion 60 with a number equal to the number of auxiliary mounting holes 12, and the edge reinforcement protrusion 60 covers the adjacent auxiliary mounting holes 12. The edge reinforcement protrusion 60 is used to compensate for the weakening of the structural strength of the gear disk 10 by the auxiliary mounting holes 12, improve the structural strength around the auxiliary mounting holes 12, and prevent the gear disk 10 from being deformed and damaged due to the presence of the auxiliary mounting holes 12 during installation and use.

[0024] In this embodiment, several main reinforcing ribs 50 protrude from the end face of the gear disk 10, and both ends of the main reinforcing ribs 50 are connected to the gear disk 10 and the tooth root reinforcing ring 40, respectively. Multiple secondary reinforcing ribs 70 protrude from the end face of the gear disk 10, and each edge reinforcing protrusion 60 is connected to an adjacent main reinforcing rib 50 via a secondary reinforcing rib 70. Each edge reinforcing protrusion 60 is also connected to the center reinforcing protrusion 30 and the tooth root reinforcing ring 40 via secondary reinforcing ribs 70. The main reinforcing ribs 50 and secondary reinforcing ribs 70 are used to enhance the overall rigidity of the gear disk 10, reduce gear deformation during high-speed operation, and also play a certain role in stress transmission, distributing the stress borne to the gear disk.

[0025] In this embodiment, a surface-hardening coating can also be applied to the outer wall of multiple gear teeth 20. The surface-hardening coating can be a DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating, a TiN coating, or other existing surface-hardening coatings. A DLC coating is a coating containing diamond components in its microstructure; the constituent element of DLC is carbon. Due to the presence of diamond components, the DLC coating exhibits high hardness and a low coefficient of friction, as well as good film density, which can improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of the gear teeth. Similarly, a TiN (titanium nitride) coating can also have high wear resistance and a low coefficient of friction, and can also be used to improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of the gear teeth.
