Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of speed reducer manufacturing technology, and in particular to an extrusion molding tooling for processing speed reducer flexural wheels. Background Technology

[0002] The flex wheel plays a crucial role in harmonic reducers. The following is a detailed explanation of the flex wheel's function in harmonic reducers: 1) Harmonic reducers mainly consist of three basic components: a wave generator, a flex wheel, and a rigid wheel. The flex wheel, as a core component, is key to realizing the harmonic transmission principle. In a harmonic reducer, the flex wheel typically has external teeth that mesh with the internal teeth of the rigid wheel, thereby transmitting motion and energy. 2) The most significant characteristic of the flex wheel is its ability to generate controllable elastic deformation under the action of the wave generator. When the wave generator rotates, its non-circular profile applies periodic pressure to the flex wheel, forcing it to undergo corresponding elastic deformation. This deformation causes the outer profile of the flex wheel to exhibit a periodic elliptical shape change, thus achieving engagement and disengagement with the rigid wheel at different positions. This unique meshing method not only improves the transmission accuracy and stability but also greatly increases the transmission's flexibility and adaptability. 3) Because the meshing between the flex wheel and the rigid wheel involves multiple teeth simultaneously, errors can be averaged out, thereby improving transmission accuracy. This gives harmonic reducers a significant advantage in high-precision operations, such as chip manufacturing and neurosurgery. In these fields, even minute deviations can lead to serious consequences, and the high-precision transmission characteristics of harmonic reducers ensure operational accuracy and reliability.

[0003] To improve the axial tensile strength of the flexure in a harmonic reducer, a convex arch-shaped tensile structure can be machined into the cylinder of the flexure.

[0004] Existing extrusion molding fixtures for processing reducer flexures have shortcomings in use. They cannot achieve continuous extrusion molding of the convex arch-shaped tensile structure of the reducer flexure, resulting in relatively low processing efficiency. Therefore, optimization and improvement are necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems in the traditional technology and provide an extrusion molding tooling for processing the flexural gear of a speed reducer.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0007] An extrusion molding fixture for processing a speed reducer flexure includes a flexure positioning and extrusion assembly and a lifting and rotating pressure bearing assembly disposed above it.

[0008] The flexible wheel positioning and extrusion assembly includes a base plate, a first motor, a turntable, positioning protrusions, an inner ring body, an outer ring body, an inner ring sleeve, an outer ring sleeve, and an extrusion mechanism. The first motor, the inner ring sleeve, and the outer ring sleeve are mounted on the upper side of the base plate. The turntable is mounted on the output end of the first motor. Several positioning protrusions are mounted circumferentially on the upper side of the turntable. An inner ring body that slides and is restricted in the inner ring sleeve and an outer ring body that slides and is restricted in the outer ring sleeve are mounted on the lower side of the turntable. An extrusion mechanism is mounted on the turntable near the positioning protrusions. The extrusion mechanism consists of a second motor, a lead screw, a support plate, and an extrusion head. The output end of the second motor is connected to a lead screw. The lead screw has two lead screw sections with opposite directions of rotation. A support plate is sleeved on the lead screw section. An extrusion head is provided on the upper outer wall of the support plate.

[0009] The lifting and rotating pressure-bearing assembly includes a top plate, a lifting push rod, a rotary driver, a pressure-bearing sleeve, and a suction cup. The lifting push rod is installed on the lower side of the top plate. The pressure-bearing sleeve is installed on the movable end of the lifting push rod via the rotary driver. The suction cup is embedded in the top of the pressure-bearing sleeve. An annular pressure-bearing groove is formed on the inner wall of the pressure-bearing sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, in the extrusion molding tooling for processing the flexure of the speed reducer described above, the flexure component is composed of an end plate, a cylindrical part and a flexure part. The end plate is connected to the flexure part via the cylindrical part, and the cylindrical part can be processed into a convex arch part via a flexure positioning extrusion assembly and a lifting and rotating pressure bearing assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, in the extrusion molding fixture for processing the reducer flexure described above, the second motor is mounted on the lower side of the turntable and located in the inner region of the inner ring.

[0012] Furthermore, in the extrusion molding tooling for processing the flexural gear of the aforementioned reducer, the lead screw is provided with movable support by the inner ring body and the outer ring body.

[0013] Furthermore, in the extrusion molding fixture for processing the reducer flexural wheel described above, the disc body of the turntable located inside the positioning convex tube is provided with a radial sliding groove, the width of the radial sliding groove is matched with the width of the support plate, and the sliding of the support plate is restricted in the radial sliding groove.

[0014] Furthermore, in the extrusion molding tooling for processing the flexure of the speed reducer described above, the height value of the positioning convex tube is matched with the axial length value of the flexure portion, and the shape of the extrusion head is matched with the inner wall shape of the convex arch portion.

[0015] Furthermore, in the extrusion molding tooling for processing the flexure of the speed reducer described above, the shape of the suction cup matches the shape of the end plate of the flexure component.

[0016] Furthermore, in the extrusion molding tooling for processing the flexural gear of the speed reducer described above, the shape of the annular pressure-bearing groove matches the shape of the outer wall of the convex arch.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model has a reasonable structural design, comprising a flexible wheel positioning and extrusion assembly and a lifting and rotating pressure bearing assembly. The flexible wheel positioning and extrusion assembly mainly consists of a base plate, a first motor, a turntable, a positioning convex tube, an inner ring body, an outer ring body, an inner ring sleeve, an outer ring sleeve, and an extrusion mechanism. The lifting and rotating pressure bearing assembly mainly consists of a top plate, a lifting push rod, a rotary driver, a pressure bearing sleeve, and a suction cup. All components work together. The positioning convex tube is used to position and place the unprocessed flexible wheel component. The first motor drives the turntable to rotate, transferring the flexible wheel component to the extrusion station. The lifting push rod drives the pressure bearing sleeve to move down and fit over the outside of the flexible wheel component. The extrusion mechanism is then activated to extrude the cylindrical part of the flexible wheel component. After the extrusion mechanism resets, the pressure bearing sleeve uses the suction cup to hold and lock the flexible wheel component in place. The rotary driver then drives the flexible wheel component to rotate, allowing for the next extrusion operation. Through multiple extrusion operations, a convex arch can be formed on the cylindrical part of the flexible wheel component. The convex arch improves the axial tensile strength of the reducer's flexible wheel.

[0019] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the above advantages at the same time. Attached Figure Description
