Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a speed reduction device. Background Technology

[0002] Speed ​​reduction devices are widely used in various transmission mechanisms, especially in small drive devices such as nail guns, screwdrivers, and power tools, where they convert high-speed, low-torque power output into low-speed, high-torque output. Existing speed reduction devices mostly employ planetary gear structures to achieve multi-stage reduction, but their design still has certain shortcomings.

[0003] In traditional speed reduction mechanisms, multiple planetary gears are typically arranged around the sun gear to achieve balanced force transmission. However, due to the large number of planetary gears and the high requirements for machining accuracy and meshing clearance, even a slight misalignment of a planetary gear during assembly or use can easily lead to jamming of the entire mechanism or accelerated wear, and in severe cases, even speed reducer failure. Furthermore, to accommodate multiple planetary gears and maintain a proper meshing relationship, existing structures often result in increased housing dimensions, which is detrimental to the miniaturization and lightweight design of speed reduction devices. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a small-sized deceleration device that will not deviate or jam.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: A speed reduction device includes a housing, a worm gear, a sun gear, a planetary gear, a stator gear, and an output shaft. The worm gear is a hollow ring, with external teeth on its outer wall for connecting to a power source and internal teeth on its inner wall. The worm gear is rotatably mounted inside the housing cavity; The housing is provided with a positioning shaft at intervals in the inner cavity corresponding to the worm gear. The diameter of the centering wheel is larger than the diameter of the planetary gear. The centering wheel is sleeved on the positioning shaft, and the outer wall of the centering wheel is close to the inner wall of the worm gear and located below the internal teeth. The planetary gear is mounted on the positioning shaft and rotates around the positioning shaft as the rotation center. The planetary gear meshes with the internal teeth. The sun gear is rotatably mounted inside the housing cavity, and the sun gear meshes with the planetary gears. The output shaft is connected to the sun gear, and the worm gear drives the output shaft to rotate through the planetary gears and the sun gear.

[0006] The simplified planetary reduction mechanism, which uses a single set of planetary gears in conjunction with a sun gear, not only reduces the number of planetary gears but also significantly reduces the radial and axial dimensions while maintaining the same reduction ratio, thus contributing to the miniaturization of the overall equipment design.

[0007] The centering wheel has a larger diameter than the planetary gear and is closely attached to the inner wall of the worm gear, thereby achieving radial constraint on the planetary gear. This ensures that the planetary gear does not shift during operation and maintains a constant meshing clearance, effectively avoiding jamming caused by reduced tooth backlash.

[0008] The multi-stage meshing and synchronous operation of the worm gear, planetary gear, and sun gear ensures that the input torque is smoothly transmitted to the output shaft after reasonable distribution, enabling the output of stable high torque and improving transmission efficiency and load-bearing capacity.

[0009] The objective of this utility model can also be achieved by the following technical measures: Furthermore, the housing includes a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity for accommodating the worm gear, the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity being connected; The worm gear is rotatably disposed in the first accommodating cavity, and part of the external teeth of the worm gear enter the second accommodating cavity; The bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity is provided with the positioning shaft at intervals corresponding to the inner cavity of the worm gear.

[0010] Some of the external teeth of the worm gear extend into the second accommodating cavity and mesh with the worm. No additional transmission intermediate parts are required, which realizes the compact combination of the two-stage transmission mechanism in the cavity. This effectively shortens the axial length of the reduction device and helps to make the whole machine miniaturized.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention employs a simplified planetary reduction mechanism with a single set of planetary gears and a sun gear. This not only reduces the number of planetary gears but also significantly compresses the radial and axial dimensions while maintaining the same reduction ratio, thus contributing to the miniaturization of the overall equipment.

[0012] In this invention, the diameter of the centering wheel is larger than that of the planetary gear and is closely attached to the inner wall of the worm gear, thereby achieving radial constraint on the planetary gear and ensuring that the planetary gear does not deviate during operation and maintains a constant meshing clearance, thus effectively avoiding jamming failure caused by reduced tooth backlash.

[0013] In this invention, some of the external teeth of the worm gear extend into the second accommodating cavity and mesh with the worm, eliminating the need for additional transmission intermediate parts. This achieves a compact combination of the two-stage transmission mechanism within the cavity, effectively shortening the axial length of the reduction device and contributing to the miniaturization of the entire machine.

[0039] Furthermore, the swing arm 5 also includes an arm body 52, a second spring 53, and a sliding block 54. The arm body 52 has a sliding groove 521.

[0042] Furthermore, the guide groove 81 is a vertical guide groove, and the direction of the guide groove 81 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the push rod 6.

[0043] Furthermore, it also includes a guide device 9, which includes a slide rail 91 and a slider 92. The slide rail 91 is disposed on the gun body 1, and the slider 92 sits on the slide rail 91 in a sliding manner. The slider 92 is connected to the guide block 8.

[0044] Furthermore, it also includes a tension wheel assembly 10. The clamping component 7 includes a first clamping member 71 and a second clamping member 72. The first clamping member 71 and the second clamping member 72 are respectively hinged to the gun body 1. The front part of the first clamping member 71 and the front part of the second clamping member 72 form a nail clamping opening 73. A nail pushing channel 74 is formed between the rear part of the first clamping member 71 and the rear part of the second clamping member 72. The nail pushing channel 74 and the nail clamping opening 73 are connected. The tension wheel assembly 10 is placed in the nail pushing channel 74 and connected to the push rod 6.

[0045] Furthermore, it also includes an automatic nail feeding device 20. The gun body 1 has a nail inlet at the position corresponding to the nail pushing channel 74. The automatic nail feeding device 20 is installed on the gun body 1, and the nail feeding outlet of the automatic nail feeding device 20 is connected to the nail inlet.

[0046] Nail gun working principle When the motor 2 drives the worm 21 to rotate, the worm 21 meshes with the worm wheel 32 in the reduction gear 3, and is further reduced in speed by the planetary gear 34 and the sun gear 33, and is connected to the swing arm 5 through the upper clutch 41 and the lower clutch. When the swing arm 5 rotates, the sliding block 54 at its lower end slides up and down in the vertical guide groove of the guide block 8. This vertical motion is converted into a horizontal thrust by the guide block 8, which pushes the push rod 6 back and forth, thereby driving the clamping component 7 at the front end to open and close, clamping or releasing the C-shaped nail bundle. At the moment of clamping open, the automatic nail feeding device 20 pushes the next nail into the channel to complete continuous nailing.

[0047] The reason for the small size of the nail gun The motor 2 is installed at an angle at the rear of the gun body 1. The worm 21 directly meshes with the worm wheel 32, eliminating the horizontal and axial occupancy of traditional horizontal or multi-stage spur and helical gears. The reduction device 3 adopts a set of planetary and sun gears 33, and the worm 21 and worm wheel 32 are respectively placed in the double-connected cavity of the housing 31. This optimizes the three-dimensional spatial layout and compresses the radial and axial dimensions, realizing the miniaturization design of the nail gun.

[0048] The anti-jamming principle of the deceleration device 3 The diameter of the centering wheel 35 is larger than that of the planetary gear 34. The centering wheel 35 is in close contact with the inner wall of the worm gear 32 to achieve radial constraint on the planetary gear 34. The planetary gear 34 maintains a preset clearance with the internal gear and the sun gear 33, allowing thermal expansion and vibration to shift without changing the meshing clearance, thus avoiding jamming due to eccentricity or thermal expansion causing the tooth clearance to become smaller.

[0049] The reason why the nail gun is easy to repair via clutch device 4 Users can disengage or engage the clutch device 4 without additional tools by rotating the adjusting bolt 432 on the outside of the gun body 1. Once disengaged, the swing arm 5 and push rod 6 can be quickly removed for inspection or replacement without disassembling the reduction gear 3 or motor 2, greatly shortening maintenance time and making operation simpler and more intuitive.

[0050] The principle of preventing motor 2 from stalling When the push rod 6 encounters resistance while moving forward, the sliding block 54 compresses the second spring 53, and the swing arm 5 continues to rotate instead of rigidly driving the push rod 6, thereby eliminating the overload torque and preventing the motor 2 from experiencing instantaneous overcurrent or overheating due to stall, thus achieving mechanical overload protection for the motor 2.

[0051] The principle of horizontal linear motion of the push rod 6. The guide block 8 on the push rod 6 is connected to the slider 92. The slider 92 slides along the length of the slide rail 91, thereby ensuring that the push rod 6 moves only in a predetermined horizontal direction, eliminating lateral sway and jamming, and improving the accuracy and stability of linear motion.
