Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of speed reducer technology, and in particular to a right-angle speed reducer. Background Technology
[0002] Among the speed reducer family, planetary speed reducers are widely used in servo, stepper, and DC drive systems due to their advantages such as small size, high transmission efficiency, wide reduction range, and high precision. Their main function is to reduce speed, increase torque, and lower the load / motor moment of inertia ratio while ensuring precise transmission. Planetary speed reducers are a versatile industrial product suitable for industries such as hoisting and transportation, engineering machinery, metallurgy, mining, petrochemicals, construction machinery, light industry and textiles, medical devices, instrumentation, automobiles, shipbuilding, weaponry, and aerospace.
[0003] Right-angle reducers can be used to change the direction of power. Existing reducers for changing direction use a single worm gear or gear structure, which cannot transmit high torque. Alternatively, multiple reduction mechanisms can be used to increase torque, but this makes the overall reducer structure less compact. To solve these problems, a new type of right-angle reducer is needed. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0020] A right-angle speed reducer, reference Figure 1 It includes a housing 1, an input shaft 2, a first-stage planetary reduction mechanism 5, a gear set, an intermediate shaft 3, a bevel gear set 7, a second-stage planetary reduction mechanism 8, and an output shaft 4, wherein the input shaft 2 and the output shaft 4 are arranged perpendicularly at right angles.
[0021] The input shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and the input shaft 2 is connected to an external power device to rotate and realize power input;
[0022] The primary planetary reduction mechanism 5 includes a primary sun gear 51, primary planet gears 52, a primary planet carrier 53, and a primary ring gear 54, all coaxially arranged with the input shaft 2. The primary sun gear 51 is fixedly connected to the input shaft 2 coaxially. The primary ring gear 54 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The primary planet carrier 53 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The primary planet gears 52 are rotatably positioned eccentrically on the primary planet carrier 53. The primary planet gears 52 are externally meshed with the primary sun gear 51 and internally meshed with the primary ring gear 54. When the input shaft 2 rotates, it drives the primary sun gear 51 to rotate. The primary sun gear 51, through external meshing, drives the primary planet gears 52 to rotate on the primary pivot pin. The primary pivot pin drives the primary planet carrier 53 to revolve around the axis of the input shaft 2, and the primary planet carrier 53 outputs power.
[0023] The gear set in this embodiment includes a first gear 61 and a second gear 62, which are used to transmit the power output of the first-stage planetary carrier 53 to the intermediate shaft 3. Specifically, the first gear 61 is a sun gear structure in a planetary gear structure. The first gear 61 is press-fitted into the inner hole of the first-stage planetary carrier 53, and the first gear 61 is coaxially arranged with the input shaft 2. The second gear 62 meshes with the first gear 61 and is coaxially fixed with the intermediate shaft 3. The intermediate shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 and is parallel to the input shaft 2. When the input shaft 2 rotates, it drives the first-stage planetary carrier 53 to rotate. The first-stage planetary carrier 53 drives the first gear 61 to rotate. The first gear 61 drives the intermediate shaft 3 to rotate through the second gear 62, thus transmitting the power of the input shaft 2 to the intermediate shaft 3.
[0024] As for the position of the intermediate shaft 3, it can be set in a position that is more conducive to space utilization, based on the internal space of the shell 1, so as to ensure that the internal space is fully utilized and the overall structure is more compact.
[0025] The bevel gear set 7 includes a first bevel gear 71 and a second bevel gear 72 that mesh with each other. The first bevel gear 71 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the intermediate shaft 3, and the second bevel gear 72 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the second-stage sun gear 81 in the second-stage planetary reduction mechanism 8. The axis of the first bevel gear 71 is set perpendicular to the axis of the second bevel gear 72. By setting the bevel gear set 7, the power input direction of the input shaft 2 is adjusted to the vertical direction for power output, thereby realizing the change of power direction.
[0026] In this embodiment, the tooth ratio of the first bevel gear 71 to the second bevel gear 72 is 1:2. By changing the number of teeth of the first bevel gear 71 and the second bevel gear 72, the speed ratio of the reducer is increased, saving one stage of planetary gear reduction, shortening the longitudinal dimension of the reducer, reducing the volume of the reducer, and reducing the cost.
[0027] The secondary planetary reduction mechanism 8 includes a secondary sun gear 81, a secondary planetary gear 82, a secondary planetary carrier 83, and a secondary ring gear 84, all coaxially arranged with the output shaft 4.

The secondary planetary carrier 83 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The secondary planetary gear 82 is rotatably positioned at an eccentric position on the secondary planetary carrier 83. The secondary planetary gear 82 meshes externally with the secondary sun gear 81 and internally with the secondary ring gear 84. The output shaft 4 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the secondary planetary carrier 83. The intermediate shaft 3 drives the secondary sun gear 81 to rotate through the first bevel gear 71 and the second bevel gear 72. The secondary sun gear 81 drives the secondary planetary gear 82 to rotate on the secondary pin shaft through external meshing. The secondary pin shaft drives the secondary planetary carrier 83 to revolve around the axis of the secondary sun gear 81. The secondary planetary carrier 83 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft 4, which outputs power.
[0028] In this embodiment, the secondary planetary carrier 83 and the output shaft 4 are integrally formed into a single component.
[0029] The overall working principle is as follows: When the input shaft 2 rotates, it drives the first-stage sun gear 51 to rotate. The first-stage sun gear 51 drives the first-stage planetary gear 52 to rotate on the first-stage pin shaft through external meshing. The first-stage pin shaft drives the first-stage planetary carrier 53 to revolve around the axis of the input shaft 2. When the first-stage planetary carrier 53 rotates, it drives the first gear 61 to rotate. The first gear 61 drives the intermediate shaft 3 to rotate through the second gear 62. The intermediate shaft 3 drives the first bevel gear 71 to rotate. The first bevel gear 71 drives the second bevel gear 72 to rotate. The second bevel gear 72 drives the second-stage sun gear 81 to rotate. The second-stage sun gear 81 drives the second-stage planetary gear 82 to rotate on the second-stage pin shaft through external meshing. The second-stage pin shaft drives the second-stage planetary carrier 83 to revolve around the axis of the second-stage sun gear 81. The second-stage planetary carrier 83 drives the output shaft 4 to rotate for power output.
