Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical transmission technology, specifically to a flange shaft connection structure for a planetary reducer. Background Technology

[0002] Planetary gear reducers are power transmission devices that achieve speed reduction and torque increase through planetary gear sets (sun gear, planetary gears, and internal gear ring). They feature high precision, high rigidity, and high load capacity. Their core advantages lie in high torque density, low backlash, and compact structure, making them the preferred solution in the field of precision transmission. They are widely used in precision transmission systems such as servo motors and stepper motors.

[0003] The working principle of a planetary gear reducer: The motor input shaft drives the flange shaft to rotate via a key connection. The flange shaft transmits power to the sun gear of the planetary gear reducer. The planetary gear set (sun gear, planetary gears, and internal gear ring) achieves speed reduction and torque increase through gear meshing.

[0004] Traditionally, planetary gear reducers and drive motors are connected by flanges, which are then fastened with bolts. This process requires removing and installing a large number of bolts, making it cumbersome and resulting in low efficiency in connecting and installing planetary gear reducers and drive motors.

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following two preferred embodiments: Example 1: A planetary reducer flange shaft connection structure includes a drive motor 1 and a reducer body 4. A flange sleeve 2 is fitted on the outer surface of the drive motor 1. An output shaft 11 is rotatably mounted on the end of the drive motor 1 near the flange sleeve 2. A threaded connecting ring 7 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the flange sleeve 2. A flange sleeve 3 is fitted on the outer surface of the reducer body 4. An annular threaded groove 5 is opened on the outer side wall of the flange sleeve 3. A connecting groove 6 adapted to the output shaft 11 is opened on the end of the reducer body 4 near the flange sleeve 3. A connecting component 8 is fixedly connected in the mounting groove to further strengthen the connection between the drive motor 1 and the reducer body 4.

[0018] The mounting groove has a sliding groove 9, which moves with the auxiliary movable rod 810. The outer surface of the flange sleeve 1 2 has a mounting groove. The outer side wall of the flange sleeve 1 2 has several through grooves 10. The outer side wall of the flange sleeve 2 3 has several fixing grooves 12.

[0019] In use, the operator first inserts the output shaft 11 of the drive motor 1 into the connecting groove 6 of the reducer body 4, and at the same time aligns the flange sleeve 1 2 with the flange sleeve 2 3. Then, the operator rotates the reducer body 4 and the flange sleeve 2 3, and screws the threaded connecting ring 7 on the flange sleeve 1 2 into the annular thread groove 5 of the flange sleeve 2 3. This will initially connect the flange sleeve 1 2 and the flange sleeve 2 3, completing the initial connection and fixation of the drive motor 1 and the reducer body 4.

[0020] Example 2: The connecting component 8 includes a mounting base 81 fixedly connected in the mounting groove. A mounting sleeve 82 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting base 81. A movable block 85 is slidably connected inside the mounting sleeve 82. An annular mounting groove 88 is formed on the side of the movable block 85 near the mounting sleeve 82. A return spring 84 is inserted into the inner wall of the annular mounting groove 88. An annular mounting groove 813 is formed on the side of the mounting base 81 near the mounting sleeve 82. The end of the return spring 84 away from the annular mounting groove 88 is inserted into the inner wall of the annular mounting groove 813.

[0021] A limiting groove 83 is provided through the upper surface of the mounting sleeve 82 to limit the travel of the movable rod 810. A connecting rod 812 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 83. One end of the connecting rod 812 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the movable block 85. A pulling rod 811 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 812 away from the movable block 85. Several anti-slip protrusions are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pulling rod 811 to facilitate the operator to pull.

[0022] A movable rod 810 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable block 85 away from the return spring 84. A fixed block 87 that matches the fixed slot 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable rod 810 away from the movable block 85. A slider 89 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the movable rod 810. The outer wall of the slider 89 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 9 to ensure the stable movement of the movable rod 810. Two limiting slide grooves 86 are opened on the outer surface of the mounting sleeve 82. The two limiting slide grooves 86 are symmetrically distributed. The inner wall of the limiting slide groove 86 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider 89 to further restrict the movement direction of the movable rod 810.

[0023] During use, as the threaded connecting ring 7 is screwed into the annular threaded groove 5, the outer wall of the flange sleeve 2 3 presses against the fixing block 87. After being pressed, the fixing block 87 pushes the movable rod 810 to move axially along the limiting slide groove 2 86, thereby pushing the movable block 85 to compress the return spring 84. When the threaded connecting ring 7 is fully screwed into the annular threaded groove 5, the fixing block 87 aligns with the fixing groove 12 on the flange sleeve 2 3. At this time, the return spring 84 rebounds and pushes the fixing block 87 into the fixing groove 12, further strengthening the connection between the drive motor 1 and the reducer body 4. When it is necessary to separate the drive motor 1 and the reducer body 4, the pulling rod 811 is pulled. The pulling rod 811 drives the movable block 85 to move through the connecting rod 812, thereby causing the fixing block 87 to disengage from the fixing groove 12. The reducer body 4 and the flange sleeve 2 3 are rotated in the opposite direction, and the threaded connecting ring 7 is screwed out of the annular threaded groove 5, thus separating the drive motor 1 and the reducer body 4.

[0024] 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.
