Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of speed reducer technology, specifically a live gear speed reducer employing a split internal gear and a cross bearing. Background Technology

[0002] Internal gears are among the heaviest and most difficult-to-manufacture parts in a reducer. Grinding internal gears requires a precision internal gear grinding machine, and the purchase price of a single internal gear grinding machine can be as high as several million yuan. In addition, the grinding wheel diameter is small, so it needs to be dressed on-site. The grinding time for a single gear can reach tens of minutes or even an hour, which is much longer than the grinding time for external gears, and the grinding accuracy is difficult to improve.

[0003] Application No. 202211096557.0 discloses "a rolling gear reducer with a multi-segment sector gear as the internal gear, comprising a first-stage planetary reducer assembly placed between two shock generators, achieving axial spatial overlap; it also includes an eccentric assembly, the main body of which is a planetary carrier with two eccentric cylindrical surfaces fabricated on it, and supporting the two shock generators respectively through two sets of eccentric bearings; it also includes a gear carrier assembly, which includes a front gear carrier, a middle gear carrier, and a rear gear carrier; it also includes a set of internal gear assemblies, which includes a front internal gear assembly and a rear internal gear assembly, each of which is composed of a set of sector gear segments, so that the internal gears can be processed in a similar way to the external gears, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the internal gears; and it includes two rings of gear assemblies installed in two rings of radial rectangular grooves of the gear carrier, each set of gear assemblies being composed of multiple rows of radially contacting rollers, and the gear assemblies can achieve rolling contact with the internal gears and the shock generators."

[0004] However, the reducer uses six sets of axial components in its internal gear ring and main bearing, resulting in a relatively complex structure and limited cost reduction. Furthermore, the bearing structure used in this patent consists of two sets of angular contact bearings, with the inner and outer rings distributed on opposite sides of the internal gear ring assembly and the movable gear carrier assembly, respectively. This structure is not conducive to reducing the reducer's cost or improving the support accuracy of the main and intermediate bearings. Therefore, a movable gear reducer using a split internal gear and cross-bearings is proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a reciprocating gear reducer using a split internal gear and a cross bearing, comprising an eccentric shaft assembly 1, a reciprocating gear frame assembly 2, an internal gear ring assembly 3, a reciprocating gear assembly 4, and a planetary gear assembly 5. The eccentric shaft assembly 1 is located at the center of the reciprocating gear frame assembly 2 and is rotatably connected to the reciprocating gear frame assembly 2. The planetary gear assembly 5 is provided between the eccentric shaft assembly 1 and the reciprocating gear frame assembly 2. The reciprocating gear frame assembly 2 is located inside the internal gear ring assembly 3 and is rotatably connected to the internal gear ring assembly 3. The reciprocating gear assembly 4 is provided between the reciprocating gear frame assembly 2 and the internal gear ring assembly 3. The reducer has a basically symmetrical structure.

[0024] Further improvements include the eccentric shaft assembly 1, which consists of a right eccentric shaft 101, a left eccentric shaft 102, a shocker bearing 103, a shocker 104, an eccentric shaft bearing 105, and an eccentric shaft bearing retaining ring 106. The space between the left eccentric shaft (102) and the right eccentric shaft (101) includes installation space for the planetary gear shaft (501), the planetary gear bearing (502), and the planetary gear (503), thereby improving the stability and smoothness of the connection between the eccentric shaft assembly 1 and the movable gear assembly 2. When the right eccentric shaft 101 and the left eccentric shaft 102 rotate at high speed, they drive the movable gear assembly 4 to move radially through the shocker 104, thereby achieving a deceleration effect.

[0025] In a further improvement, the movable gear assembly 2 is composed of a right end cover 201, a movable gear 202, a left end cover 203, a shock baffle 204, movable gear pins 205, and movable gear locking screws 206. The right end cover 201 and the left end cover 203 are located on both sides of the movable gear 202, and movable gear pins 205 and movable gear locking screws 206 are spaced apart between the right end cover 201, the movable gear 202, and the left end cover 203. By providing right end covers 201 and left end covers 203 on both sides of the movable gear 202, the structure of the movable gear assembly 2 is greatly simplified, the accuracy of the movable gear is improved, and the manufacturing cost of the movable gear is reduced.

[0026] In a further improvement, the movable tooth assembly 4 is composed of a movable tooth collar 401, an upper mandrel 402, a K-type assembly 403, and a lower mandrel 404. The two ends of the upper mandrel 402 and the lower mandrel 404 are rotatably connected to the movable tooth frame 202 and the left end cover 203, respectively. The movable tooth collar 401 is provided at the edge of the upper mandrel 402, and the K-type assembly 403 is provided at the edge of the lower mandrel 404. The structure of the mandrel can be a stepped structure or a pin structure with a single diameter. The middle part of the mandrel can be convex and shaped to avoid the decrease in contact strength caused by bending.

[0027] In a further improvement, the star gear assembly 5 is composed of a planetary gear shaft 501, a planetary gear bearing 502, a planetary gear 503, and a sun gear 504. The planetary internal gear is directly formed on the inner hole of the movable gear carrier 202. The planetary gear 503 is directly installed in the area between the two eccentric shafts through the planetary gear shaft 501, which facilitates the deceleration of the eccentric shaft and effectively increases the rotational torque.

[0028] Further improvements include an internal gear ring assembly 3 comprising an internal gear ring seal 301, a seal ring support 302, an internal gear ring 303, an internal gear ring connecting pin 304, an internal gear ring connecting screw 305, an internal gear ring spacer 306, and a right internal gear ring 307. The seal ring support 302 and the internal gear ring 303 are separate structures. The internal gear ring connecting pin 304 and the internal gear ring connecting screw 305 are symmetrical about the horizontal line and are connected by welding, interference fit, or other methods. After the internal gear is divided into four segments, each segment of the internal gear is ground into shape using a forming grinding wheel in one go. The design of the screws and pins on the internal gear ring is symmetrical about the horizontal line, allowing the two rows of internal gear rings to be rotated 180 degrees after the tooth profile grinding is completed, satisfying the requirements that the number of tooth grooves on the movable gear carrier is even and that it is symmetrical from left to right.

[0029] Specifically, the internal gear ring 303 is composed of a first lobe 303A, a second lobe 303B, a third lobe 303C, and a fourth lobe 303D. Each lobe of the internal gear ring 303 is provided with at least two internal gear ring connecting pins 304 at the connection between it and the internal gear ring spacer 306. By adopting a multi-lobe segmented internal gear ring 303 design, it is convenient to process the internal gear ring 303. The internal gear ring 303 and the internal gear ring spacer 306 are fixedly connected with the internal gear ring connecting pins 304 to ensure the accuracy of the relative position between the internal gear ring and the internal gear ring spacer and the stability of the working process.

[0030] In use, the internal gear ring assembly 3 is fixed. When the eccentric shaft 1 rotates at high speed, its two sets of shocks 104 respectively drive the two rows of live teeth 4 to move radially. The upper spindle in the live teeth 4 will move along the surface of the inner teeth of the internal gear ring. After being restricted by the inner teeth of the internal gear ring, it decomposes into a tangential motion. The live tooth ring of the live tooth assembly 4 drives the live tooth frame assembly 3 to rotate at low speed, thereby achieving the deceleration effect.

[0031] When machining the left and right internal gear rings, two annular fixtures can be used to connect them into two assemblies. During gear grinding, these two assemblies are ground together, and two sets of corresponding pin holes are machined on the fixtures. These can be used to rotate the two internal gear rings 180 degrees during assembly to meet the requirement of a 180-degree phase difference. The internal gear rings can be assembled with the fixtures, and ball bearings are used to ensure concentricity between the internal gear rings and the internal gear ring spacers. Locating pins ensure that they have the correct relative symphonic position after rotating 180 degrees. After ensuring that the two sets of internal gear rings have a defined position, they are connected to the internal gear ring spacers using multiple pins to ensure that the segmented internal gear rings have sufficient load-bearing capacity and that each segment of the internal gear ring has a defined position, even without a stop.
