The present embodiment wave producer-flexbile gear component is due to using Multi-contact flexible bearing, the single same flexbile gear-of rolling element Outer ring is interference fitted between part there are two (three point contact flexible ball bearings, four point contact flexible ball bearings) or infinite (line connects Touch flexible roller bearing) contact point, therefore, when harmonic speed reducer works, the gear teeth 831 of flexbile gear 83 are except generation is in diagram plane Set radial deformation outside, along the additional buckling deformation of flexbile gear gear teeth width direction or along the additional of flexbile gear gear teeth circumferencial direction Torsional deformation is controlled, and compared to current art product very little or even is never occurred, is thus greatly improved harmonic wave and subtract Transmission accuracy, transmission efficiency and the military service reliability of fast device.
Above-mentioned harmonic speed reducer Multi-contact flexible bearing, including three point contact flexible ball bearings, four point contacts are flexible Ball bearing, line contact flexible roller bearing, and single rolling element is the same as i.e. same outer ring-flexbile gear is interference fitted between part between outer ring raceway There are two tools or infinite a contact point, only has a contact point compared with technology and compares, technology and matter with many principles Amount advantage, it is for the sake of intuitive, the technology of the present invention and prior art comparative situation is tabulated below.
Have that additional deformation is small, transmission accuracy using wave producer-flexbile gear component of Multi-contact flexible bearing of the present invention A series of high technical quality advantages.
By taking cam type wave producer as an example, it is assumed that the cross-sectional shape of cam outer face is ellipse, when flexible bearing passes through Interference fit and cam and the flexbile gear installation of the interference fit of its internal circular surfaces and cam, its outer round surface and flexbile gear are integrated Afterwards, distribution shape in cross section of bearing inner race cross section, each rolling element center, bearing outer ring cross section, flexbile gear cross section It is forced to become elliptical shape therewith, to improve the flexbile gear gear teeth with the accuracy of mesh of the firm gear gear teeth, and then improves harmonic speed reducer Transmission accuracy, it is intended that, in the flexbile gear gear teeth (with the firm gear gear teeth) effectively within the scope of length of action, the shape of each cross section It is preferably completely the same, it is the same ellipse, i.e., does not have additional warpage along bearing outer ring-flexbile gear interference fit part width direction Deformation does not have torsional deflection along bearing outer ring-flexbile gear interference fit part circumferencial direction, and still, prior art flexible bearing is Common centripetal spherical structure, single rolling element act on a bit (outer ring channel bottom) to what outer ring-flexbile gear interference fit part applied Concentrated force, above-mentioned additional buckling deformation and torsional deflection are unavoidable, transmission accuracy and service life band to harmonic speed reducer Inevitably negatively affect.Three point contact flexible ball bearings of the present invention and four point contact flexible ball bearings, single rolling element With outer ring raceway tool, there are two contact points, and two concentrated forces, this two contact points are along bearing outer ring-flexbile gear interference fit part axis Therefore Xiang Youyi span can effectively reduce above-mentioned buckling deformation and torsional deformation;Line of the present invention contacts flexible roller bearing, single A rolling element has infinite a contact point with outer ring raceway, therefore contact force can substantially reduce for the distributed force along roller overall length Or even above-mentioned buckling deformation and torsional deformation are avoided completely.
Three point contact flexible ball bearings of the present invention and four point contact flexible ball bearings are compared with technology three-point contact ball bearing There are many differences with four-point contact ball, for example, the prior art uses three-point contact ball bearing and four-point contact ball Mainly consider they in the radial and axial of bearing and meanwhile the rigidity that has had (axial rigidity of general radial ball bearing is very It is low), but the present invention is then to increase ball with channel in bearing axis using three-point contact ball bearing and four-point contact ball To contact points and power effect span, to improve the set deformation accuracy of outer ring-flexbile gear interference fit part, for another example, The lasso wall thickness of flexible bearing is very thin, and very shallow and bottom of trench to periphery the wall thickness of channel is also very thin, therefore, the contact angle of bearing Sometimes lesser value, such as 20 degree are taken, and prior art three point contact and four-point contact ball, contact angle is generally all 35 Degree or more.
There is also many differences compared with technology roller bearing for line contact flexible roller bearing of the present invention, for example, existing skill It is typically all the radial bearing capacity and radial rigidity in order to improve bearing that art, which uses roller bearing, but the present invention is not, this Invention mainly considers that the same outer ring of roller-flexbile gear interference fit part has infinite multiple contact points along axial direction using roller bearing, is edge Therefore the distributed force of roller overall length can significantly improve the set deformation accuracy of outer ring-flexbile gear interference fit part, for another example, flexible Not only wall is thin for bearing, but also very narrow, and when the double ribs of a lasso band, the intensity of rib may be a bigger problem, Therefore, outer ring of the present invention and inner ring respectively with single block border but are distributed in the structure (shown in attached drawing 6C) of bearing heteropleural just very with real Border meaning, for another example, same because of flexible bearing, not only wall is thin, but also very narrow, some products have to select draw ratio (roller Length/roller diameter) cylindrical roller less than 1, this is not present in the prior art, prior art cylindrical roller bearing Minimum length is exactly equal with its diameter.
Certainly, three point contact flexible ball bearings of the present invention, four point contact flexible ball bearings, line contact flexible roller bearing remove Flexible bearing can preferably be fulfiled outside the function in harmonic speed reducer, also there is three-point contact ball bearing, four-point contact ball It holds, other advantages of roller bearing, these dominating parts have been included in above table.It is above-mentioned excellent due to Multi-contact flexible bearing Gesture is occurred using wave producer-flexbile gear component of Multi-contact flexible bearing with the existing wave using single-contact flexible bearing Device-flexbile gear component is compared, and with the low outstanding advantage of flexbile gear gear teeth additional deformation, this is smart for the transmission for improving harmonic speed reducer Degree, transmission efficiency and reliable operation degree have important practical meaning in engineering, and subtract since harmonic wave is widely used in industrial robot Fast device, therefore, using industrial robot as the intelligence manufacture epoch of one of outstanding feature, above-mentioned technical quality innovation and progress are same When have very important realistic meaning.
The three point contact flexible ball axis of two one contact point of outer fissure, septal fossula contact points being covered for claim It holds, it is same to the skidding of control ball, the running stability of raising bearing since there are two contact points with septal fossula tool for single ball With positive effect.
The above disclosure is just a few specific examples of the present application, however, this application is not limited to this, any this field Technical staff can think variation, should all fall in the protection domain of the application.
