Therefore, the directional and positional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: like Figure 1-4 As shown, a fully sealed worm gear box includes a box body 1, a box cover 2, a worm 3, and a worm wheel 4. The box cover 2 is sealed on the box body 1, and a sealed cavity 100 for placing the worm 3 and the worm wheel 4 is formed between the box cover 2 and the box body 1. The worm 3 is rotatably disposed in the box body 1 and meshes with the worm wheel 4. The box body 1 has an annular sleeve portion 11. One end of the rotating shaft 41 of the worm wheel 4 has an output portion 411 inserted into the sleeve portion 41, which constitutes a rotatable connection between the rotating shaft 41 and the box body 1. A sealing ring 5 is provided on the output portion 411 to seal with the inner wall of the sleeve portion 11. A positioning hole 21 is provided on the box cover 2 at the positioning portion 412 corresponding to the rotating shaft 41. An O-ring 6 is provided on the positioning portion 412 of the rotating shaft 41 to seal with the inner wall of the positioning hole 21. A screw cap 7 that seals with the positioning hole 21 is connected to the positioning portion 412.
[0022] like Figure 2 and 4 As shown, the worm gear 4 has a section of arc-shaped worm gear teeth 42, which mesh with the worm 3. Arc-shaped oil guide grooves 421 are provided on both sides of the worm gear teeth 42. These grooves guide lubricating oil to the meshing point between the worm gear and the worm, thereby improving the lubrication and cooling effects of the worm gear and worm.
[0023] like Figure 2 and 3As shown, the cap 7 has a protruding ring 71 inserted into the positioning hole 21, and a rubber ring 8 is provided between the protruding ring 71 and the positioning hole 21. The rubber ring enhances the sealing performance between the cap and the cover. The cap 7 is connected to the positioning part 412 by multiple bolts 9 arranged in a ring array, and a sealing gasket 72 is provided between the positioning part 412 and the cap 7. The sealing gasket enhances the sealing performance between the cap and the rotating shaft, preventing rainwater from entering the turbine housing along the cap and the rotating shaft, thus improving the sealing performance. Multiple reinforcing ribs 12 are provided around the sleeve part 11 on the bottom wall of the housing 1. The reinforcing ribs enhance the strength of the entire housing, thereby helping to extend the service life of the turbine housing. The worm gear 3 includes a drive shaft 31 rotatably mounted within the housing 1 and a helical gear 32 connected to the drive shaft 31. The helical gear 32 meshes with the turbine 4. One end of the drive shaft 31 has a positioning end 311 that inserts into a positioning groove 13 within the housing 1, and the other end of the drive shaft 31 passes through a mounting hole 14 in the housing 1 and has a mounting end 312 extending outside the housing 1. A ball bearing 33 is respectively installed on the drive shaft 31 between the two ends of the helical gear 32 and the inner wall of the housing 1. The ball bearings ensure reliable rotation of the drive shaft within the housing, thereby improving the operational reliability of the turbine housing. An O-ring seal 34 is provided on the drive shaft 31 to seal against the inner wall of the mounting hole 14. The O-ring seal enhances the sealing performance between the drive shaft and the housing, preventing icing between the drive shaft and the housing in cold environments, thus improving the sealing performance of the turbine housing. The output section 411 of the rotating shaft 41 has a connection hole 413 exposed outside the housing 1. Multiple snap-fit grooves 414, connected to the connection hole 413, are arranged in a ring array on the output section 413. The multiple snap-fit grooves on the output section of the rotating shaft facilitate installation of the shaft with external equipment, resulting in higher installation efficiency and more reliable transmission. The housing 1 has a sealing groove 15, within which a sealing rubber ring 16 is installed to seal against the housing cover 2. Multiple screws 17 are installed on the housing cover 2, passing through the housing cover 2 and connecting to the outside of the sealing groove 15 of the housing 1. The sealing rubber ring on the housing prevents rainwater from entering the turbine housing along the connection between the housing and the housing cover, thereby improving the sealing performance of the turbine housing.
[0024] The turbine housing adopts a fully sealed structure design. The turbine shaft, housing, and cover are sealed in multiple directions. The turbine rotation is set inside the sleeve of the housing. The sleeve can separate the lubricating oil in the housing from the shaft, avoiding direct impact of the lubricating oil on the sealing ring, thus improving the sealing performance of the turbine housing.
[0025] The above description is only one embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model; the scope of protection of the present utility model is defined by the claims in the claims, and all equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the utility model are within the scope of protection of the present utility model patent.
