[Effects of the Invention]

[0058] According to the present invention, it is possible to achieve the effect of increasing the rigidity and damping of the gearbox. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0059] [Figure 1] This is a cross-sectional view along the crank axis showing a first embodiment of the reduction gear according to the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a cross-sectional view along line II-II in Figure 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0060] A first embodiment of the gearbox according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the speed reducer in this embodiment, and Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the speed reducer along the line II-II in Figure 1. In the figures, reference numeral 100 denotes the speed reducer.

[0061] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the reduction gear 100 according to this embodiment comprises a housing cylinder 200, a gear section (external tooth member) 300, and three crank assemblies 400. The housing cylinder 200 houses the gear section 300 and the three crank assemblies 400. In this embodiment, the speed reducer 100 is an eccentric oscillating speed reducer.

[0062] The housing cylinder 200 includes an outer cylinder portion (case) 210, a carrier portion (carrier) 220, and two main bearings 230. The carrier portion 220 is located inside the outer cylinder portion 210. The two main bearings 230 are located between the outer cylinder portion 210 and the carrier portion 220. The two main bearings 230 enable relative rotational motion between the outer cylinder portion 210 and the carrier portion 220. In this embodiment, the output section of the reduction gear 100 is exemplified by either the outer cylinder portion 210 or the carrier portion 220.

[0063] Figure 1 shows the central axis (main shaft) F0 of the reduction gear 100, which is defined as the rotational axis of the two main bearings 230. When the outer cylinder portion 210 is fixed, the carrier portion 220 rotates around the main shaft F0. When the carrier portion 220 is fixed, the outer cylinder portion 210 rotates around the main shaft F0. In other words, one of the outer cylinder portion 210 and the carrier portion 220 can rotate relative to the other of the outer cylinder portion 210 and the carrier portion 220 around the main shaft F0.

[0064] A mounting flange 215 is provided around the outer circumference of the cylindrical outer cylinder portion 210. Multiple mounting holes 216 are formed on the periphery of the mounting flange 215, spaced apart from each other. The mounting flange 215 is used, for example, when mounting the speed reducer 100 as a spigot.

[0065] The outer cylinder portion 210 includes an outer cylinder 211 and a plurality of internal tooth pins (internal teeth) 212. The outer cylinder 211 defines a cylindrical internal space in which the carrier portion 220, the gear portion 300, and the crank assembly 400 are housed. Each internal tooth pin 212 is a cylindrical member extending substantially parallel to the main shaft F0. Each internal tooth pin 212 is fitted into a groove formed in the inner wall of the outer cylinder 211. Thus, each internal tooth pin 212 is properly held by the outer cylinder 211.

[0066] Multiple internal tooth pins 212 are arranged at approximately constant intervals around the main spindle F0. The half-circumferential surface of each internal tooth pin 212 protrudes from the inner wall of the outer cylinder 211 toward the main spindle F0. Therefore, the multiple internal tooth pins 212 function as internal teeth that mesh with the gear section 300.

[0067] The carrier portion 220 includes a base portion 221, an end plate portion 222, a positioning pin 223, and a fixing bolt 224. The carrier portion 220 has an overall cylindrical shape. A through hole 229 is formed in the carrier portion 220 that is concentric with the main spindle F0. The base 221 includes a base plate portion 225 and three shaft portions 226. Each of the three shaft portions 226 extends from the base plate portion 225 toward the end plate portion 222. Screw holes 227 and reamed holes 228 are formed on the tip surface of each of the three shaft portions 226. Positioning pins 223 are inserted into the reamed holes 228. As a result, the end plate portion 222 is precisely positioned relative to the base 221. Fixing bolts 224 are screwed into the screw holes 227. As a result, the end plate portion 222 is properly fixed to the base 221.

[0068] The gear section 300 is positioned between the base plate section 225 and the end plate section 222. The three shaft sections 226 pass through the gear section 300 and are connected to the end plate section 222.

[0069] The gear section 300 includes two gears 310 and 320. Gear 310 is positioned between the base plate section 225 and gear 320. Gear 320 is positioned between the end plate section 222 and gear 310.

[0070] Gear 310 is approximately identical to gear 320 in shape and size. Gears 310 and 320 rotate around the outer cylinder 211 while meshing with the internal tooth pin 212. Therefore, the centers of gears 310 and 320 rotate around the main shaft F0.

[0071] The rotational phase of gear 310 is shifted by approximately 180° from the rotational phase of gear 320. Gear 310 meshes with half of the internal tooth pins 212 of the outer cylinder portion 210, while gear 320 meshes with the remaining half of the internal tooth pins 212. Therefore, the gear portion 300 can rotate the outer cylinder portion 210 or the carrier portion 220.

[0072] In this embodiment, the gear section 300 includes two gears 310 and 320. Alternatively, the gear section may use more than two gears. Furthermore, alternatively, the gear section may use one gear.

[0073] Each of the three crank assemblies 400 includes a crankshaft 410, four bearings 421, 422, 423, and 424, and a transmission gear (external teeth) 430. The transmission gear 430 may be a general spur gear. In the reduction gear 100 of this embodiment, the transmission gear 430 is not limited to a particular type.

[0074] The transmission gear 430 receives the driving force generated by the drive source (e.g., a motor) directly or indirectly. The reduction gear 100 can appropriately set the transmission path of the driving force from the drive source to the transmission gear 430 according to its operating environment and conditions. Therefore, this embodiment is not limited to a specific drive transmission path from the drive source to the transmission gear 430.

[0075] Figure 1 shows the crank axis (transmission axis) F2. The transmission axis F2 is approximately parallel to the main spindle F0. The crankshaft 410 rotates around the transmission axis F2. In Figure 1, the distance between the transmission axis F2 and the main spindle F0 is indicated by the symbol "D2h".

[0076] The crankshaft 410 includes two journals (crank journals) 411, 412 and two eccentric sections (eccentric bodies) 413, 414. The journals 411, 412 extend along the transmission shaft F2. The central axes of the journals 411, 412 coincide with the transmission shaft F2. The eccentric sections 413, 414 are formed between the journals 411, 412. Each of the eccentric sections 413, 414 is eccentric from the transmission shaft F2.

[0077] Journal 411 is inserted into bearing 421. Bearing 421 is positioned between journal 411 and end plate portion 222. Thus, journal 411 is supported by the end plate portion 222 and bearing 421. Journal 412 is inserted into bearing 422. Bearing 422 is positioned between journal 412 and base portion 221. Thus, journal 412 is supported by the base portion 221 and bearing 422. In this embodiment, bearing 421 is a needle bearing, with a plurality of rollers 431 arranged around journal 411. Bearing 422 is a needle bearing, with a plurality of rollers 432 arranged around journal 412.

[0078] The eccentric portion 413 is inserted into the bearing 423. The bearing 423 is positioned between the eccentric portion 413 and the gear 310. The eccentric portion 414 is inserted into the bearing 424. The bearing 424 is positioned between the eccentric portion 414 and the gear 320. In this embodiment, bearing 423 is a needle bearing, with a plurality of rollers 433 arranged around the eccentric portion (eccentric body) 413. Bearing 424 is a needle bearing, with a plurality of rollers 434 arranged around the eccentric portion (eccentric body) 414.

[0079] When a driving force is applied to the transmission gear 430, the crankshaft 410 rotates around the transmission shaft F2. As a result, the eccentric parts 413 and 414 rotate eccentrically around the transmission shaft F2. The gears 310 and 320, connected to the eccentric parts 413 and 414 via bearings 423 and 424, oscillate within the circular space defined by the outer cylinder 210. Since the gears 310 and 320 mesh with the internal tooth pins 212, a relative rotational motion is caused between the outer cylinder 210 and the carrier 220.

[0080] In this embodiment, the relationship between the dimensions and size of the gearbox 100 is set as follows.

[0081] Outer diameter D of mounting flange 215 Outer diameter D1 of outer cylinder (case) 210 The diameter D2 of the circle is the radius D2h, which is concentric with the main shaft F0 on which the crank axis (transmission shaft) F2 is located. Diameter dc1 of eccentric parts (eccentric bodies) 413, 414 Diameter dc2 of journals (crank journals) 411, 412 Diameter dimension dr1 of rollers 433,434 around eccentric parts (eccentric bodies) 413,414 Diameter dimension of rollers 431 and 432 around journal (crank journal) 411 and 412 dr2

[0082] 5.5≦D / dc1≦7.0 (Formula 1)

[0083] By setting it as shown in Equation 1, the crankshaft 410 becomes thicker relative to the outermost diameter of the case 210. In other words, compared to conventionally used speed reducers, the crankshaft 410 is made thicker to improve its rigidity. At the same time, by increasing the diameter dc1 of the eccentric parts (eccentric bodies) 413 and 414 and decreasing the roller diameter dr1, the number n1 of rollers 433 and 434 arranged around the eccentric parts (eccentric bodies) 413 and 414 is increased. Here, the diameter ratio of the crankshaft 410 can be set to match the size of the reduction gear 100.

[0084] This increases the number of line contacts between the roller 433 and the eccentric portion (eccentric body) 413. Increasing the number of contacts between the roller 433 and the eccentric portion 413 increases rigidity and reduces the unevenness in the load that each roller 433 receives from the eccentric portion 413, thereby suppressing the drop in damping as a bearing 423. Furthermore, setting the range as described above improves torsional rigidity compared to cases where the range is smaller. Conversely, setting it larger than this range is undesirable because it prevents the through-hole 229 from having the required diameter, and the roller diameter dr1 becomes too small, reducing durability.

[0085] Similarly, the number of line contacts between the roller 434 and the eccentric portion (eccentric body) 414 is increased. Increasing the number of contacts between the roller 434 and the eccentric portion 414 increases rigidity and reduces the unevenness in the load received by each roller 434 from the eccentric portion 414, thereby suppressing the drop in damping as a bearing 424. Furthermore, setting the range as described above improves torsional rigidity compared to cases where the range is smaller. Conversely, setting it larger than this range is undesirable because it prevents the through-hole 229 from having the required diameter, and the roller diameter dr1 becomes too small, reducing durability.

[0086] 4.5≦ D1 / dc1 ≦6.0 (Formula 2)

[0087] By setting it as shown in Equation 2, the crankshaft 410 becomes thicker relative to the case 210. In other words, the rigidity is improved by making the crankshaft 410 thicker compared to conventionally used speed reducers. At the same time, by increasing the diameter dc1 of the eccentric parts (eccentric bodies) 413 and 414 and decreasing the roller diameter dr1, the number n1 of rollers 433 and 434 arranged around the eccentric parts (eccentric bodies) 413 and 414 is increased.

[0088] This increases the number of line contacts between the roller 433 and the eccentric portion (eccentric body) 413. Increasing the number of contacts between the roller 433 and the eccentric portion 413 increases rigidity and reduces the unevenness in the load that each roller 433 receives from the eccentric portion 413, thereby suppressing the drop in damping as a bearing 423. Furthermore, setting the range as described above improves torsional rigidity compared to cases where the range is smaller. Conversely, setting it larger than this range is undesirable because it prevents the through-hole 229 from having the required diameter, and the roller diameter dr1 becomes too small, reducing durability.

[0089] Similarly, the number of line contacts between the roller 434 and the eccentric portion (eccentric body) 414 is increased. Increasing the number of contacts between the roller 434 and the eccentric portion 414 increases rigidity and reduces the unevenness in the load received by each roller 434 from the eccentric portion 414, thereby suppressing the drop in damping as a bearing 424. Furthermore, setting the range as described above improves torsional rigidity compared to cases where the range is smaller. Conversely, setting it larger than this range is undesirable because it prevents the through-hole 229 from having the required diameter, and the roller diameter dr1 becomes too small, reducing durability.

[0090] 2.0≦ D2 / dc1 ≦3.0 (Formula 3)

[0091] By setting it as shown in Equation 3, the crankshaft 410 is made thicker relative to the case 210, and its arrangement is set accordingly. In other words, compared to conventionally used speed reducers, the crankshaft 410 is made thicker to improve its rigidity. At the same time, by increasing the diameter dc1 of the eccentric parts (eccentric bodies) 413 and 414 and decreasing the roller diameter dr1, the number n1 of rollers 433 and 434 arranged around the eccentric parts (eccentric bodies) 413 and 414 is increased. Furthermore, the crankshaft 410, rollers 433 and 434, and carrier 220 can be arranged so that their rigidity is not reduced without them becoming unnecessarily small.

[0092] This increases the number of line contacts between the roller 433 and the eccentric portion (eccentric body) 413. Increasing the number of contacts between the roller 433 and the eccentric portion 413 increases rigidity and reduces the unevenness in the load that each roller 433 receives from the eccentric portion 413, thereby suppressing the drop in damping as a bearing 423. Furthermore, setting the range as described above improves torsional rigidity compared to cases where the range is smaller. Conversely, setting it larger than this range is undesirable because it prevents the through-hole 229 from having the required diameter, and the roller diameter dr1 becomes too small, reducing durability.

[0093] Similarly, the number of line contacts between the roller 434 and the eccentric portion (eccentric body) 414 is increased. Increasing the number of contacts between the roller 434 and the eccentric portion 414 increases rigidity and reduces the unevenness in the load received by each roller 434 from the eccentric portion 414, thereby suppressing the drop in damping as a bearing 424. Furthermore, setting the range as described above improves torsional rigidity compared to cases where the range is smaller. Conversely, setting it larger than this range is undesirable because it prevents the through-hole 229 from having the required diameter, and the roller diameter dr1 becomes too small, reducing durability.

[0094] 6.0≦dc1 / dr1≦9.0 (Formula 4)

[0095] By setting it as shown in Equation 4, the crankshaft 410 is made thicker than the case 210, and its arrangement is set accordingly. In other words, the crankshaft 410 is made thicker to improve its rigidity. At the same time, by setting the thickness of the rollers 433 and 434 arranged around the eccentric parts (eccentric bodies) 413 and 414 to a predetermined range relative to the diameter dc1 of the eccentric parts (eccentric bodies) 413 and 414, the number of rollers 433 and 434 n1 is increased compared to conventionally used speed reducers. Furthermore, the crankshaft 410, rollers 433 and 434, and carrier 220 can be arranged so that their rigidity is not reduced without them becoming unnecessarily small.

[0096] This increases the number of line contacts between the roller 433 and the eccentric portion (eccentric body) 413. Increasing the number of contacts between the roller 433 and the eccentric portion 413 increases rigidity and reduces the unevenness in the load that each roller 433 receives from the eccentric portion 413, thereby suppressing the drop in damping as a bearing 423.

In other words, the rigidity is improved by making the crankshaft 410 thicker than that of conventionally used speed reducers.

[0100] This increases the number of line contacts between the roller 431 and the journal (crank journal) 411. Increasing the number of contacts between the roller 431 and the journal 411 increases rigidity and reduces the unevenness in the load that each roller 431 receives from the journal 411, thereby suppressing the drop in damping of the bearing 421.
