Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to speed reducers, and more particularly to a tool magazine speed reducer with adjustable center distance. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of automated machining equipment, the tool magazine reducer, as the core transmission component connecting the drive motor and the tool magazine actuator, directly determines the tool changing accuracy and equipment operation reliability through its transmission stability.
[0003] A typical structure of an existing tool magazine reducer usually includes a drive motor and a housing. The drive motor is fixed to the outer wall of the housing, and a worm gear is installed at the power output end of the drive motor. The housing contains a primary transmission assembly and an output gear. The primary transmission assembly consists of a gear shaft and a worm wheel and a transmission gear fixed coaxially. The power transmission path is as follows: the drive motor drives the worm to rotate, the worm meshes with the worm wheel, and then drives the transmission gear to rotate through the gear shaft. Finally, the transmission gear meshes with the output gear to realize the transmission of power to the output gear side.
[0004] However, traditional tool magazine reducers of this type face significant technical bottlenecks in practical applications. To ensure the stability of the transmission process and avoid impact vibrations or accuracy deviations caused by excessive meshing clearance, extremely high requirements are placed on the transmission backlash between the transmission gear and the output gear. This requirement further translates into stringent standards for the machining and assembly accuracy of components: on the one hand, key machining parameters such as the tooth profile accuracy, tooth direction accuracy, and tooth thickness of the transmission and output gears must be within extremely small tolerance ranges; on the other hand, the machining accuracy requirements for the center distance of the holes inside the housing used to install the gear shaft and the output gear shaft are extremely high, and the parallelism and coaxiality errors of the two shafts must be strictly controlled.
[0005] Under traditional processing and assembly techniques, the aforementioned high-precision requirements are difficult to achieve consistently. This not only significantly increases production costs and extends the production cycle, but also makes it easier for the quality of reducers to vary due to processing or assembly errors. Some products are prone to problems such as abnormal transmission noise and accelerated wear after installation and operation, failing to meet the long-term stable operation requirements of automated processing equipment. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tool magazine reducer with adjustable center distance and high power transmission stability.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An adjustable center distance tool magazine reducer includes a drive motor, a housing, a primary transmission assembly, and an output gear. The drive motor's power output end is equipped with a worm gear. The driving force of the drive motor is transmitted to the output gear through the primary transmission assembly. The housing includes a primary housing and a secondary housing. The drive motor is mounted on the primary housing. The primary transmission assembly is rotatably connected to the primary housing. The primary transmission assembly includes a gear shaft, on which a worm gear and a transmission gear are mounted. The output gear is rotatably connected to the secondary housing. The worm gear and the worm gear cooperate with each other, and the transmission gear and the output gear cooperate with each other. The primary housing and the secondary housing are designed as separate units and include connecting bolts. The primary housing has mounting holes, and the connecting bolts pass through the mounting holes and are threaded onto the secondary housing. A gap is left between the inner wall of the mounting hole and the thread of the connecting bolt.
[0008] With the above technical solution, in the actual installation process, the drive motor, worm gear, and primary transmission assembly are first installed in the primary housing, and the output gear is installed in the secondary housing. Then, the primary housing is fitted onto the secondary housing, and the connecting bolts are passed through the mounting holes and initially screwed into the threaded holes of the secondary housing. Since there is a gap between the inner wall of the mounting hole and the thread of the connecting bolt, the center distance between the transmission gear and the output gear can be adjusted by moving the entire primary housing to make the fit between the transmission gear and the output gear tighter. Finally, all the connecting bolts are tightened to complete the installation between the primary and secondary housings. The reducer with the above structure is less prone to problems such as abnormal transmission noise and accelerated wear after installation and operation, and can meet the long-term stable operation requirements of automated processing equipment.
[0009] Preferably, it also includes a positioning pin that passes through the primary housing and the secondary housing.
[0010] With the above technical solution, after the connecting bolts fix the primary and secondary housings, holes are drilled at the corresponding positions of the primary and secondary housings. Then, the positioning pins are driven into the corresponding holes of the primary and secondary housings, which further enhances the connection stability between the primary and secondary housings.
[0011] Preferably, the primary housing is provided with a mounting cover, and a first bearing and a second bearing are mounted on the gear shaft. The first bearing is mounted on the primary housing, and the second bearing is mounted on the mounting cover.
[0012] Through the above technical solution, firstly, operators can open the mounting cover and then install each component of the primary transmission assembly into the primary housing, effectively improving the ease of disassembly and assembly; secondly, the internal space is rationally utilized, so that the first and second bearings on the gear shaft are effectively supported, resulting in a high degree of structural compactness.
[0013] Preferably, the secondary housing is provided with an inner support ring and an outer enclosure ring, and an installation cavity is formed between the inner support ring and the outer enclosure ring. The output gear is sleeved on the outside of the inner support ring, a third bearing is installed between the output gear and the inner support ring, and a first skeleton oil seal is provided between the output gear and the outer enclosure ring. It also includes a mounting plate, which is installed on the end of the inner support ring away from the secondary housing by locking bolts, and the mounting plate abuts against the inner ring of the third bearing; A second skeleton oil seal is provided between the mounting plate and the output gear.
[0014] The above technical solution makes reasonable use of the internal space structure of the secondary gearbox, which not only effectively improves the rotational stability of the output gear, but also makes the overall structure of the secondary gearbox highly compact and effectively limits its volume.
[0015] Preferably, there are two third bearings arranged on the inner support ring.
[0016] Through the above technical solution, the two third bearings can effectively improve the overall rotational stability of the output gear.
[0017] Preferably, the output gear has a partition protrusion located between two third bearings and abutting against the outer rings of the two third bearings.
[0018] Through the above technical solution, on the one hand, the partition protrusion can limit the two third bearings and improve the smoothness of operation; on the other hand, from the installation perspective, the first third bearing can be installed into the inner support ring first, and then the output gear can be installed into the mounting cavity, with the partition protrusion abutting against the outer ring of the first third bearing. Then the second third bearing can be installed into the inner support ring until the outer ring of the third third bearing abuts against the partition protrusion. The installation is convenient and the positioning accuracy is high. Attached Figure Description

The worm 3 and the worm gear 62 cooperate with each other, and the transmission gear 63 and the output gear 2 cooperate with each other.
[0025] To achieve the effect of adjustable center distance between transmission gear 63 and output gear 2, a connecting bolt 7 is also provided. The first-stage housing 4 is provided with a mounting hole 8. The connecting bolt 7 passes through the mounting hole 8 and is threaded onto the second-stage housing 5. A gap 9 is left between the inner wall of the mounting hole 8 and the screw 19 of the connecting bolt 7.
[0026] To further secure the primary housing 4 and the secondary housing 5, a positioning pin 10 is also included, which passes through the primary housing 4 and the secondary housing 5.

[0028] The secondary housing 5 is provided with an inner support ring 51 and an outer enclosure ring 52.
