Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of harmonic reducer technology, specifically a sealing structure and a harmonic reducer. Background Technology

[0002] Harmonic reducers are a new type of transmission structure, belonging to a special category of gear reducers. They are widely used in fields such as robotics, precision instruments, aerospace, and medical equipment. They mainly consist of three core components: a fixed internal gear, a flexible gear, and a wave generator that causes radial deformation of the flexible gear. The gear is a rigid internal gear, while the flexible gear is a deformable thin-walled cylindrical external gear. Both have the same module, but the gear has two more teeth than the flexible gear. The wave generator is usually composed of an elliptical disk and a flexible ball bearing. During operation, the wave generator acts as the driving element, causing the flexible gear to generate a controllable elastic deformation wave, resulting in relative tooth misalignment between the teeth of the gear and the flexible gear, thereby transmitting power and motion.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN222163449U discloses a harmonic reducer, comprising a wave generator, a flexible spline, a circular spline, and a bearing base. The outer circumferential surface of the wave generator is assembled and connected to the inner circumferential surface of the flexible spline, and the outer circumferential surface of the flexible spline engages with the inner circumferential surface of the circular spline. A threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the circular spline, and a bottom through hole is provided on the bearing base. A connecting screw passes through the bottom through hole and the threaded hole to connect the bearing base to the circular spline. The advantages of this invention are: the flexible spline is forged, which improves fatigue strength and extends service life; the increased smoothness and wear resistance of the spline further extend its service life.

[0004] The aforementioned solutions and existing technologies for harmonic reducers typically involve adding lubricant to the crossed roller bearings to reduce noise and wear. The main body of the existing harmonic reducer is usually connected to a flange and a motor, with only an O-ring seal between the reducer body and the flange. Operating at the same height as the motor shaft, this can easily lead to lubricant leakage over time, affecting the reducer's operation. Therefore, there is a lack of a corresponding sealing structure with enhanced sealing performance for harmonic reducers, requiring improvement and optimization. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sealing structure and a harmonic reducer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sealing structure includes a servo motor, one end of which is fixedly connected to a flange, one end of which is inserted into a sealing component, and the other end of which is inserted into a harmonic reducer body. One end of the harmonic reducer body is provided with a drive hole, and a motor shaft is inserted into the drive hole. One end of the motor shaft is rotatably connected to the servo motor.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the flange is provided with a grease groove, one end of the flange is provided with a first sealing groove, a first sealing gasket is inserted into the first sealing groove, and one end of the flange is provided with an air sealing groove.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the harmonic reducer body is provided with a second sealing groove, and a second sealing gasket is inserted into the second sealing groove; one end of the harmonic reducer body is provided with an air sealing groove.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the flange is provided with a receiving groove and one end of the flange is provided with a connecting hole, one end of the harmonic reducer body is provided with a receiving groove and one end of the harmonic reducer body is provided with a connecting hole.

[0010] Preferably, the sealing assembly includes a combined sealing gasket, one end of which is fixedly connected to a sealing compression ring, and both ends of which are symmetrically fixedly connected to air sealing rings. Both ends of the combined sealing gasket are symmetrically fixedly connected to inner anti-seepage rings, and both ends of the combined sealing gasket are symmetrically fixedly connected to outer anti-seepage rings. An anti-seepage storage tank is provided between the inner and outer anti-seepage rings.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the sealing compression ring is inserted into the first sealing groove, the other end of the sealing compression ring is inserted into the second sealing groove, and one end of the air sealing ring is inserted into the air sealing groove.

[0012] Preferably, the inner seepage-proof ring is inserted into the receiving groove, the outer seepage-proof ring is inserted into the receiving groove, the inner seepage-proof ring is tightly attached to one end of the inner wall of the receiving groove, and the outer seepage-proof ring is tightly attached to the other end of the inner wall of the receiving groove.

[0013] A harmonic reducer includes a sealing structure.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: The sealing structure and harmonic reducer proposed in this utility model mainly involve setting a sealing component between the main body of the harmonic reducer and the flange connecting the servo motor. By inserting the sealing compression ring on the combined sealing gasket into the sealing grooves at both ends, grease leakage is prevented. The air sealing groove, together with the air sealing ring, prevents external corrosive gas and liquid from seeping in. If grease passes through the sealing groove, the inner and outer anti-seepage retaining rings in the middle of the combined sealing gasket can further prevent grease leakage, and it can be stored in the anti-seepage reserve tank to prevent external leakage. This structure greatly enhances the sealing performance of the harmonic reducer. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides the following two preferred embodiments: Example 1: A sealing structure includes a servo motor 1, with a flange 2 fixedly connected to one end of the servo motor 1. A sealing component is inserted into one end of the flange 2, and a harmonic reducer body 4 is inserted into the other end of the sealing component. A drive hole 5 is provided at one end of the harmonic reducer body 4, and a motor shaft 6 is inserted into the drive hole 5. One end of the motor shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the servo motor 1.

An air sealing groove 10 is provided at one end of the harmonic reducer body 4. A receiving groove 13 is provided at one end of the flange 2, and a connecting hole 14 is provided at one end of the flange 2.

[0019] A harmonic reducer includes a sealing structure.

[0020] In use, the servo motor 1 is fixed to the flange 2 with screws. The first sealing gasket 9 is inserted into the first sealing groove 8 on the flange 2. Grease is injected into the grease groove 7 in the middle of the flange 2. The sealing assembly is aligned with the connection hole 14 and inserted into one end of the flange 2. The drive hole 5 on the harmonic reducer body 4 is aligned with the motor shaft 6 and inserted and rotated to align the connection hole 14. The second sealing gasket 12 is inserted into the second sealing groove 11. Finally, the screws are connected through the connection hole 14.

[0021] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the sealing assembly includes a combined sealing gasket 301. A sealing compression ring 302 is fixedly connected to one end of the combined sealing gasket 301. Air sealing rings 303 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both ends of the combined sealing gasket 301. Inner seepage-proof rings 304 and outer seepage-proof rings 305 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both ends of the combined sealing gasket 301. The inner seepage-proof ring 304 and the outer seepage-proof ring 305... An anti-seepage storage tank 306 is provided between them; one end of the sealing compression ring 302 is inserted into the first sealing groove 8, and the other end of the sealing compression ring 302 is inserted into the second sealing groove 11; one end of the air sealing ring 303 is inserted into the air sealing groove 10; the inner anti-seepage retaining ring 304 is inserted into the receiving groove 13, and the outer anti-seepage retaining ring 305 is inserted into the receiving groove 13.
