Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of harmonic reducer technology, specifically a hat-shaped harmonic reducer. Background Technology

[0002] The hat-shaped harmonic reducer is a compact, efficient, and precision transmission device. Its core consists of a wave generator, flexible gears, and rigid gears. It achieves high reduction ratios and zero backlash transmission through elastic deformation. It features small size, light weight, and high torque density, and is widely used in industrial robots, aerospace, and medical equipment. It is especially suitable for scenarios where space is limited but the requirements for precision and reliability are stringent.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN212251040U discloses a hat-shaped harmonic reducer, belonging to the field of harmonic reducers. Its purpose is to improve the accuracy and reliability of the hat-shaped harmonic reducer by modifying its structure. It includes a wave generator, a flexible wheel, and mating components. The flexible wheel includes a flexible wheel body and a flexible wheel ring integrally connected to the flexible wheel body. External teeth are arranged circumferentially on the outer wall of the flexible wheel body. The wave generator is mounted on the inner circumference of the flexible wheel body via bearings. This application optimizes the structure, making its output more stable and precise, increasing the stability and accuracy of the harmonic reducer's operation. Simultaneously, based on component improvements, the assembly process of the hat-shaped harmonic reducer is simplified, improving enterprise production efficiency. Actual testing shows that the hat-shaped harmonic reducer of this application exhibits high motion accuracy, smooth motion, low noise, high transmission efficiency, and a certain improvement in service life during use.

[0004] The above-mentioned scheme and existing technology of cap-type harmonic reducer are usually connected and fixed at one end by connecting the flange bolt hole to the bolt hole on the connecting arm. However, during the rotation of the connecting arm, the bolt is prone to loosening over time, affecting the normal use of the connecting arm. People often apply connecting glue to the bolt in advance during installation to avoid loosening during use. However, the use of screw glue also makes disassembly and maintenance more inconvenient. There is a lack of corresponding cap-type harmonic reducer structure that is convenient and stable for connection and disassembly, which needs to be improved and optimized. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following two preferred embodiments:

[0024] Example 1: A cap-type harmonic reducer includes a harmonic reducer body 1, a load arm 2 fixedly connected to one end of the harmonic reducer body 1, a threaded hole 3 at one end of the harmonic reducer body 1, a threaded hole 3 at one end of the load arm 2, an internal hexagon screw 4 threaded into the threaded hole 3, a connection locking component fixedly connected to one end of the harmonic reducer body 1; a sealing groove 6 at one end of the load arm 2, an O-ring 7 inserted into the sealing groove 6; a positioning pin 8 fixedly connected to one end of the load arm 2, a positioning hole 9 at one end of the harmonic reducer body 1, and a positioning pin 8 inserted into the positioning hole 9.

[0025] During use, connect the flange and motor to one end of the harmonic reducer body 1. Insert the O-ring 7 into the sealing groove 6 at one end of the load arm 2 to ensure dustproof and waterproof performance when the harmonic reducer body 1 and the load arm 2 are connected. Then, align the multiple sets of positioning pins 8 at one end of the load arm 2 with the positioning holes 9 at one end of the harmonic reducer body 1 for pre-positioning. By connecting the positioning pins 8 on the load arm 2 with the positioning holes 9 of the harmonic reducer body 1, sub-millimeter level alignment accuracy is achieved, avoiding installation stress caused by misalignment of the threaded holes 3 or inability to install the hexagon socket screws 4. Then, screw the multiple sets of hexagon socket screws 4 into the threaded holes 3 respectively. During installation, use a torque wrench to screw the hexagon socket screws 4 into the threaded holes 3 in a crisscross sequence. Set the torque value to 80% of the rated value for pre-tightening. After checking that the connection and installation are flat, tighten all the hexagon socket screws 4 in sequence and lock them with the connecting locking component to prevent loosening.

[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the internal hexagon screw 4 has a limiting groove 10 at one end; the connecting locking assembly includes a connecting block 501, a locking slot 502 in the middle of the connecting block 501, a locking pin 503 inserted into the locking slot 502, one end of the locking pin 503 inserted into the limiting groove 10, and a spring groove 504 at one end of the connecting block 501; two sets of rubber pads 509 are symmetrically fixedly connected to one end of the locking pin 503, and a lifting cap 505 is fixedly connected to the other end of the locking pin 503; a spring 506 is fixedly connected to one end of the lifting cap 505, and one end of the spring 506 is fixedly connected to the spring groove 504; two sets of limiting slide grooves 507 are symmetrically provided at both ends of the connecting block 501, and an arc-shaped support slider 508 is slidably engaged in the limiting slide groove 507.

[0027] During use, before inserting the hex socket screw 4, to prevent the arc-shaped support slider 508 from blocking the screw 4 from being screwed into the threaded hole 3, pull the lifting cap 505 on the locking assembly in advance. This will move the locking pin 503 and the rubber pad 509. Pull the locking pin 503 and the rubber pad 509 until they are disengaged from the threaded hole 3. At this time, simultaneously push the arc-shaped support sliders 508 on both sides, allowing them to slide within the limiting groove 507 and move them to a position below the lifting cap 505. After releasing the lifting cap 505, under the pulling action of the spring 506, the lifting cap 505 presses against the arc-shaped support sliders 508 on both sides. The lifting cap 505 is blocked by the arc-shaped support sliders 508. At this time, the locking pin 503 in the locking slot 502 and the rubber pads 509 on both sides disengage from the threaded hole 3. Then, screw in the hex socket screw 4 in sequence. After all hexagonal screws 4 are tightened, the limiting groove 10 on the socket head cap 4 is aligned with the limiting slide 507. Pull the lifting cap 505 in sequence and move the two arc-shaped support sliders 508 to the sides. After releasing the lifting cap 505, the locking pin 503 and the rubber pads 509 on both sides are inserted into the limiting groove 10 on the socket head cap 4 under the pull of the spring 506 to fix the socket head cap 4 and effectively prevent the socket head cap 4 from loosening during use. When disassembling, pull out the lifting cap 505 in sequence and move the two arc-shaped support sliders 508 to the bottom of the lifting cap 505 so that the locking pin 503 and the rubber pads 509 are disengaged from the limiting groove 10 and the threaded hole 3. Release the lifting cap 505, and the lifting cap 505 presses against the arc-shaped support slider 508. The locking of the socket head cap 4 is released, and it can be unscrewed.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
