Description

傳動裝置transmission

本發明係關於一種用於將旋轉驅動力向對象裝置傳遞的傳動裝置(例如,減速機)。The present invention relates to a transmission device (for example, a reduction gear) for transmitting a rotational driving force to a target device.

一直以來,公知用於使來自驅動源之驅動力向對象裝置傳遞的傳動裝置。對象裝置例如為工業用機器人、轉台。作為先前之傳動裝置之一例,在專利文獻1公開了一種用於驅動工業用機器人之手腕的驅動機構所使用的行星齒輪減速機。該行星齒輪減速機用於將從作為驅動源之驅動馬達輸入的旋轉驅動力減速而向機器人的手腕傳遞。Conventionally, a transmission device for transmitting a driving force from a driving source to a target device is known. The target device is, for example, an industrial robot or a turntable. As an example of a conventional transmission device, Patent Document 1 discloses a planetary gear reducer used in a drive mechanism for driving a wrist of an industrial robot. This planetary gear reducer is used to reduce the rotational driving force input from a drive motor as a drive source and transmit the rotational driving force to the robot's wrist.

該行星齒輪減速機具有:環形齒輪,其用於輸入來自驅動馬達的旋轉驅動力;3個小齒輪,其與環形齒輪嚙合;以及減速部,其用於將從該小齒輪輸入之旋轉減速而向機器人的手腕輸出。該環形齒輪具備外齒及內齒。安裝於驅動馬達之輸出軸的小齒輪與環形齒輪之外齒嚙合。上述之3個小齒輪與環形齒輪之內齒嚙合。環形齒輪經由設於其徑向外側之軸承以能夠旋轉之方式支承於殼體。

[發明所欲解決之問題][Problems to be solved by the invention]

在專利文獻1所公開之手腕驅動機構中,環形齒輪之轉軸與驅動源之轉軸平行地設置。因此,驅動源配置於在沿著環形齒輪之轉軸的方向上自減速機偏移的位置。因此,在上述之先前之減速機中,無法在沿著環形齒輪之轉軸的方向上緊湊地配置減速機及驅動源。In the wrist drive mechanism disclosed in Patent Document 1, the rotation axis of the ring gear is provided in parallel with the rotation axis of the driving source. Therefore, the driving source is disposed at a position shifted from the reducer in a direction along the rotation axis of the ring gear. Therefore, in the aforementioned conventional reducer, the reducer and the drive source cannot be compactly arranged in a direction along the rotation axis of the ring gear.

另外,在上述之行星齒輪減速機中,用於將環形齒輪支承於支承體之軸承配置於該環形齒輪之徑向外側。因此,行星齒輪減速機之尺寸於環形齒輪之徑向上變大。Further, in the planetary gear reducer described above, a bearing for supporting the ring gear on the support body is arranged radially outward of the ring gear. Therefore, the size of the planetary gear reducer becomes larger in the radial direction of the ring gear.

The drive source 5 is, for example, an electric motor. The speed reducer 10 decelerates the rotation input from the drive source 5 and outputs it to a target device (not shown) as a drive target. The transmission device to which the present invention can be applied is not limited to the speed reducer 10.

減速機10具有:用於傳遞來自驅動源5之旋轉的齒輪單元100、基部15以及支承於基部15之減速部50。在減速機10設有貫通孔,在該貫通孔設有筒狀之中央管25。減速部50將從齒輪單元100輸入之旋轉減速,並輸出已減速之旋轉。The speed reducer 10 includes a gear unit 100 for transmitting rotation from the drive source 5, a base portion 15, and a speed reduction portion 50 supported by the base portion 15.

在圖示之實施形態中,正齒輪1係直齒圓柱齒輪。能夠應用於本發明之正齒輪1不限定於直齒圓柱齒輪。作為正齒輪1,能夠使用可將環形齒輪3之旋轉向減速部50(具體而言,後述之曲軸80)傳遞的任意的齒輪。在圖示之實施形態中,齒輪單元100具有3個正齒輪1,但設於齒輪單元100之正齒輪1的數量既可以大於3,亦可以小於3。In the illustrated embodiment, the spur gear 1 is a spur gear. The spur gear 1 applicable to the present invention is not limited to a spur gear. As the spur gear 1, any gear that can transmit the rotation of the ring gear 3 to the reduction unit 50 (specifically, a crankshaft 80 described later) can be used. In the illustrated embodiment, the gear unit 100 has three spur gears 1, but the number of the spur gears 1 provided in the gear unit 100 may be greater than three or less than three.

環形齒輪3以繞轉軸RCX旋轉之方式支承於基部15。環形齒輪3具有支承於基部15之支承構件7及環形狀之環構件8。支承構件7具有圓盤形狀之主體部7a及從主體部7a之徑向內端向X2方向延伸之凸座部7b。凸座部7b具有大致圓筒形狀。在圖示之實施形態中,支承構件7及環構件8係相互獨立的構件,環構件8被螺栓14連結於支承構件7。支承構件7及環構件8亦可以具有一體之單件構造。環形齒輪3具有內齒4及外齒6。更具體而言,環形齒輪3之環構件8具有內齒4及外齒6。內齒4沿著環構件8之內周面設置,與正齒輪1嚙合。外齒6沿著環構件8之外周面設置,與輸入齒輪2嚙合。輸入齒輪2係申請專利範圍中所記載之第1齒輪的例子。正齒輪1係申請專利範圍中所記載之第2齒輪的例子。The ring gear 3 is supported on the base portion 15 so as to rotate about a rotation axis RCX. The ring gear 3 includes a support member 7 supported on the base 15 and a ring-shaped ring member 8. The support member 7 has a disc-shaped main body portion 7a and a convex portion 7b extending from the radially inner end of the main body portion 7a in the X2 direction. The boss portion 7b has a substantially cylindrical shape. In the illustrated embodiment, the support member 7 and the ring member 8 are independent members, and the ring member 8 is connected to the support member 7 by a bolt 14. The support member 7 and the ring member 8 may have an integrated one-piece structure. The ring gear 3 includes internal teeth 4 and external teeth 6. More specifically, the ring member 8 of the ring gear 3 includes internal teeth 4 and external teeth 6. The internal teeth 4 are provided along the inner peripheral surface of the ring member 8 and mesh with the spur gear 1. The external teeth 6 are provided along the outer peripheral surface of the ring member 8 and mesh with the input gear 2. The input gear 2 is an example of the first gear described in the patent application scope. The spur gear 1 is an example of the second gear described in the patent application scope.

在圖3中示出與轉軸RCX正交且穿過外齒6之假想面P1。內齒4及外齒6均配置於該假想面P1上。換言之,假想面P1穿過內齒4及外齒6該兩者。假想面P1係申請專利範圍中之第1假想面的例子。在先前之減速機中,與輸入齒輪嚙合之齒輪的齒及與正齒輪嚙合之齒輪的齒配置於在減速機之中心軸方向上偏移的位置。相對於此,在圖示之實施形態中,與輸入齒輪2嚙合之外齒6及與正齒輪1嚙合之內齒4均配置於假想面P1上,因此能夠利用該配置減小減速機10之中心軸RCX方向上之尺寸。正齒輪1及螺栓14亦配置於該假想面P1上。利用該配置,能夠進一步減小減速機10之中心軸RCX方向上之尺寸。An imaginary plane P1 that is orthogonal to the rotation axis RCX and passes through the external teeth 6 is shown in FIG. 3. Both the internal teeth 4 and the external teeth 6 are arranged on the virtual plane P1. In other words, the imaginary plane P1 passes through both the internal teeth 4 and the external teeth 6. The imaginary plane P1 is an example of the first imaginary plane in the scope of patent application. In the conventional reducer, the teeth of the gear meshing with the input gear and the teeth of the gear meshing with the spur gear are disposed at positions shifted in the direction of the central axis of the reducer. In contrast, in the illustrated embodiment, the outer teeth 6 meshing with the input gear 2 and the inner teeth 4 meshing with the spur gear 1 are disposed on the imaginary plane P1. Therefore, this configuration can be used to reduce the speed of the reducer 10. Dimensions in the center axis RCX direction. The spur gear 1 and the bolt 14 are also arranged on this imaginary plane P1. With this configuration, it is possible to further reduce the size in the direction of the center axis RCX of the reducer 10.

環形齒輪3繞轉軸RCX(第2轉軸)自轉。環形齒輪3配置為其轉軸RCX不與輸入齒輪2的轉軸(第1轉軸)平行。在圖示之實施形態中,環形齒輪3的轉軸RCX與穿過設於減速機10之中心的圓筒形狀之貫通孔之中心的軸線一致。因此,在本說明書中,有時將轉軸RCX稱為(減速機10之)中心軸RCX。第2轉軸沿與第1轉軸不同的方向延伸。因而,利用輸入齒輪2及環形齒輪3來變換來自驅動源5之驅動力之傳遞方向。在圖示之實施形態中,由輸入齒輪2及環形齒輪3構成錐齒輪。除錐齒輪之外,輸入齒輪2及環形齒輪3亦可以為螺旋齒輪、蝸輪、或者能夠變換動力之傳遞方向的除上述之外之齒輪。The ring gear 3 rotates around a rotation shaft RCX (second rotation shaft). The ring gear 3 is disposed such that its rotation axis RCX is not parallel to the rotation axis (first rotation axis) of the input gear 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the rotation axis RCX of the ring gear 3 coincides with the axis passing through the center of the cylindrical through hole provided at the center of the reduction gear 10. Therefore, in this specification, the rotating shaft RCX may be referred to as the central shaft RCX (of the reducer 10). The second rotation shaft extends in a direction different from the first rotation shaft.

As described above, part or all of the sealing member 16 may be disposed between the first end surface 131 a and the second end surface 132 b on the rotation shaft RCX. In other words, the sealing member 16 is disposed on the virtual plane between the virtual plane P4 and the virtual plane P5 in the direction of the rotation axis RCX (this may be referred to as a "sealed virtual plane" in this specification). The seal member 16 is disposed on the sealing virtual surface at a position closer to the rotation shaft RCX than the first bearing 13a and the second bearing 13b.

繼而,參照圖5,說明本發明之另一實施方式之減速機。圖5放大表示本發明之另一實施方式之減速機的剖面之局部。在圖5所示之實施形態中,環形齒輪3之結構與圖3所示之實施形態不同。在圖5所示之實施形態中,環形齒輪3具有:支承構件7、外齒構件8a以及內齒構件8b。外齒構件8a及內齒構件8b均具有環狀之形狀。在外齒構件8a之外周面設有外齒6,在內齒構件8b之內周面設有內齒4。支承構件7具有圓盤形狀之主體部7a及從主體部7a之徑向內端向X2方向延伸之凸座部7b。外齒構件8a、內齒構件8b以及支承構件7之主體部7a利用螺栓14連結。Next, a speed reducer according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view showing a part of a cross section of a reduction gear according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the structure of the ring gear 3 is different from the embodiment shown in FIG. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the ring gear 3 includes a support member 7, an external tooth member 8a, and an internal tooth member 8b. Both the external tooth member 8a and the internal tooth member 8b have a ring shape. External teeth 6 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the external tooth member 8a, and internal teeth 4 are provided on the internal peripheral surface of the internal tooth member 8b. The support member 7 has a disc-shaped main body portion 7a and a convex portion 7b extending from the radially inner end of the main body portion 7a in the X2 direction. The external tooth member 8 a, the internal tooth member 8 b, and the main body portion 7 a of the support member 7 are connected by bolts 14.

繼而,說明減速機10之動作。若向輸入齒輪2輸入來自驅動源5之旋轉,則與輸入齒輪2之旋轉聯動地,環形齒輪3繞中心軸RCX旋轉。該環形齒輪3之旋轉向與環形齒輪之內齒4嚙合之正齒輪1傳遞。若正齒輪1旋轉,則曲軸80之偏心部81及偏心部82偏心旋轉。利用該偏心部81及偏心部82之偏心旋轉,第1擺動齒輪71及第2擺動齒輪72擺動旋轉。此時,第1擺動齒輪71之中心軸CX1、第2擺動齒輪72之中心軸CX2繞齒輪架60之旋轉中心軸RCX繞轉。因而,第1擺動齒輪71之外齒71a及第2擺動齒輪72之外齒72a與銷20嚙合,並且第1擺動齒輪71及第2擺動齒輪72在殼體主體11b內繞轉移動。曲軸80每轉1圈,第1擺動齒輪71相對於殼體11旋轉與銷20之數量與外齒71a之齒數之差即1個齒相應的量。如此,曲軸80之旋轉以“1/外齒71a之齒數”之減速比減速而向齒輪架60傳遞。藉此,齒輪架60以自曲軸80之轉速減速後得到之轉速相對於殼體11及基部15旋轉。如以上方式,從驅動源5輸入到減速機10之旋轉被減速而從齒輪架60向對象裝置輸出。Next, the operation of the speed reducer 10 will be described. When the rotation from the drive source 5 is input to the input gear 2, the ring gear 3 rotates about the center axis RCX in conjunction with the rotation of the input gear 2. The rotation of the ring gear 3 is transmitted to the spur gear 1 that meshes with the internal teeth 4 of the ring gear. When the spur gear 1 rotates, the eccentric portion 81 and the eccentric portion 82 of the crankshaft 80 rotate eccentrically. By the eccentric rotation of the eccentric portion 81 and the eccentric portion 82, the first swing gear 71 and the second swing gear 72 swing and rotate. At this time, the center axis CX of the first swing gear 71 and the center axis CX2 of the second swing gear 72 orbit the rotation center axis RCX of the carrier 60. Therefore, the outer teeth 71a of the first swing gear 71 and the outer teeth 72a of the second swing gear 72 mesh with the pin 20, and the first swing gear 71 and the second swing gear 72 move around the casing body 11b. Each time the crankshaft 80 makes one revolution, the first swing gear 71 rotates with respect to the housing 11 and the difference between the number of pins 20 and the number of teeth of the external teeth 71 a is an amount corresponding to one tooth. In this way, the rotation of the crankshaft 80 is reduced to the gear carrier 60 at a reduction ratio of "1 / the number of teeth of the external teeth 71a". As a result, the gear carrier 60 rotates relative to the housing 11 and the base 15 at a rotation speed obtained by decelerating from the rotation speed of the crankshaft 80. As described above, the rotation input from the drive source 5 to the speed reducer 10 is reduced and output from the carrier 60 to the target device.
