Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of speed reducer technology, specifically to a low-noise speed reducer with a self-lubricating structure. Background Technology

[0002] Speed ​​reducers are a common structure in various equipment. Their main function is to transmit high-speed rotating power to low-speed output through a reduction gear set, thereby amplifying torque and regulating output speed. However, during the operation of a speed reducer, the gear system generates a lot of heat due to the contact and friction between the gears, leading to wear on the gear surfaces and aging of the lubricating oil, which in turn affects the overall performance of the system and generates some noise. Therefore, it is necessary to add lubricating oil for lubrication. However, in many speed reducers, it is difficult to ensure uniform distribution of the oil, resulting in poor lubrication effect and high noise. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a reasonably designed low-noise speed reducer with a self-lubricating structure, which can solve the above-mentioned defects.

A reduction gear set connected between the input shaft and the output shaft is installed inside the housing. An oil groove is provided at the bottom of the housing. A splash-type lubrication mechanism and an agitation-type lubrication mechanism are also installed on the housing. The agitation-type lubrication mechanism includes a second transmission gear rotatably installed inside the housing. The second transmission gear meshes with a reduction gear. Agitators are connected to both sides of the second transmission gear. The bottom of the agitators is located in the oil groove. Several sets of agitator strips are evenly arranged along the circumference on each agitator.

An oil pipe two is installed on the housing, and the oil pipe two is connected to the oil pipe one through a connector. The oil pipe two is connected to a micro oil pump mounted on the housing.

[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. 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.

[0024] See Figures 1-3 As shown, this structure includes a housing 1, with an input shaft 2 and an output shaft 3 respectively located on both sides of the housing 1. Inside the housing 1, a reduction gear set is installed between the input shaft 2 and the output shaft 3 to ensure the transmission and conversion of power. The bottom of the housing 1 is provided with an oil groove 6, which is a pyramidal shape with a larger top and a smaller bottom to hold oil and ensure its fluidity. In addition, the housing 1 is also equipped with a splash-type lubrication mechanism and a stirring-type lubrication mechanism to ensure that each gear inside the reducer is fully lubricated during operation, reducing friction and wear.

[0025] The agitation-type lubrication mechanism includes a transmission gear 16 rotatably mounted inside the housing 1. The transmission gear 16 meshes with a gear in the reduction gear set. Agitators 17 are connected to both sides of the transmission gear 16, and its rotation drives the agitators 17 on both sides to rotate. The bottom of the agitator 17 is located in the oil tank 6. Several sets of oil stirring strips 18 are evenly arranged on the circumference of each agitator 17, and each set of oil stirring strips 18 consists of two strips, which are inclined to both sides. When the agitator 17 rotates, it can agitate the oil in the oil tank 6 through the oil stirring strips 18, causing the oil to splash to various positions inside the housing 1. In conjunction with the rotation of the reduction gear, the oil is delivered to the contact surfaces of each gear to ensure the lubrication of the reduction gear, thereby reducing gear noise and slowing down wear.

[0026] See Figures 1-7As shown, the splash-type lubrication mechanism mainly includes an oil hole 7 located at the bottom of the housing 1, with the oil hole 7 at the center of the bottom of the oil tank 6. An installation groove is also provided on the outer casing below the oil hole 7, and a filter assembly is installed in the groove. The filter assembly includes an installation plate 8 mounted on the housing 1, with the inner side of the installation plate 8 connected to the filter element 9. The inner wall of the filter element 9 fits snugly against the inner wall of the installation groove, ensuring that the oil hole 7 is connected to the filter element 9. A sealing ring 10 is provided above the filter element 9 to enhance the sealing effect. An oil pipe 11 connected to the filter element 9 is connected to the outer side of the installation plate 8. An oil pipe 13 is provided on the housing 1, and the oil pipe 13 is connected to the oil pipe 11 via a connector 12. The oil pipe 13 is then connected to a miniature oil pump 4 mounted on the housing 1. The oil outlet of the miniature oil pump 4 is connected to an oil nozzle 15 mounted on the top of the housing 1 via an oil pipe 14. The oil nozzle 15 has several downward-facing, evenly distributed spray holes, which can evenly spray oil onto the gears when the reducer is working.

[0027] The power input end of the micro oil pump 4 is connected to the input shaft 2 through multiple transmission gears 5 to ensure that it is driven synchronously with the input shaft during the operation of the reducer and pumps out oil. The bottom and side of the housing 1 have pipe grooves, and the oil pipe 13 is arranged in the pipe grooves. The end of the pipe groove near the mounting plate 8 also has a groove for accommodating the connector 12, which facilitates connection and disassembly.

[0028] During the operation of the reducer, the micro oil pump 4 operates synchronously, pumping oil from the bottom of the oil tank 6 to the oil spray head 15. The oil is then sprayed onto the gear surface through the oil spray head 15, further enhancing the lubrication effect. In addition, the oil is filtered by the filter element 9 before spraying, ensuring that metal debris does not enter the oil pipe. As the oil is sprayed and circulated, metal debris and dust and other impurities are automatically accumulated in the filter element 9, reducing the impurity content in the lubricating oil and improving the purity of the oil. When necessary, the mounting plate 8 can be removed and the filter element 9 replaced to ensure the long-term purity of the oil.

[0029] In addition, the grooves and slots in the housing 1 allow the pipes and related components to be housed without affecting the appearance and size of the reducer. The oil pipes are connected through the connector 12, which facilitates the disassembly and connection of the oil pipes when replacing the filter element.

[0030] It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments of this utility model are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
