Drum-shaped gear coupling with axial large-expansion function
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lubrication of drum-shaped gear couplings in steel rolling machinery, in particular to a crowned tooth coupling with axial large telescopic displacement and a lubrication system thereof.
Background
The crowned tooth coupling is composed of two pairs of inner gear rings and outer crowned gears which are meshed with each other, the outer gear has a certain crowned tooth shape, and small-amplitude angular displacement and axial displacement are allowed to occur between the inner gear rings and the crowned gears, so that a driving shaft and a driven shaft which are connected with two ends of the coupling simultaneously generate deflection motion in the rotating process. The unique self-compensating inter-shaft inclination angle and axial displacement of the crowned tooth coupling can be adjusted, so that the crowned tooth coupling is widely applied to heavy mechanical equipment such as steel rolling machinery and rail transit.
In a steel rolling production line, when the distance between two connecting shafts which are used for transmission is uncertain, the crowned tooth coupling is required to have the function of large axial displacement and expansion, so that long-distance power transmission can be met, and meanwhile, the axial displacement can be freely adjusted in a large range. In a common crowned gear coupling, a drum gear at a movable end is matched with an inner gear ring through a gear pair, and the crowned gear slides in long teeth in the inner gear ring to adjust axial displacement between two connecting shafts. Because the gear pair contact form is point contact, the gear pair has larger contact stress in the axial sliding process, and the gear surface abrasion phenomenon is easy to occur. Meanwhile, the axial length of the gear teeth of the inner gear ring is limited, the moving distance of the drum-shaped gear in the inner gear ring is limited, the telescopic range of the connecting shaft is small, and the application occasions of the drum-shaped gear in the production field of steel rolling machinery are greatly limited.
Patent CN211423204U discloses a long telescopic crowned tooth coupling, in which an inner gear ring is connected with a connecting shaft by a tooth-type spline pair, the tooth-type spline pair connection is composed of an inner spline and an outer spline, both the inner spline and the outer spline are multi-tooth parts, the spline on the inner cylindrical surface is an inner spline, and the spline on the outer cylindrical surface is an outer spline; the inner gear ring moves telescopically along the connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft transmits torque through the spline pair to drive the inner gear ring to rotate. The crowned tooth coupling spline pair has larger contact area and small contact stress in the telescopic process, and the defect of axial sliding of the gear pair is overcome; however, because the axial distance of the spline auxiliary shaft is long, lubricating oil supplied from the end face of the spline auxiliary shaft is difficult to enter between the contact surfaces, the lubricating effect is poor, and the phenomenon of serious abrasion of the contact surfaces cannot be avoided.
Patent CN110873129A discloses a telescopic crowned tooth coupling with oil-gas lubrication function, the axial telescopic position of the coupling still adopts tooth-type spline pair connection, and the phenomenon of tooth surface abrasion in patent CN211423204U is also existed; in addition, the coupler adopts an oil-gas lubrication mode, a plurality of long and thin oil-gas through holes are required to be formed in the connecting shaft, the mechanical strength of the shaft is weakened, and meanwhile, due to the fact that the machining difficulty of the long and thin through holes is large, the hole axis is not aligned after machining, and therefore eccentricity, vibration and even scrapping occur when the shaft rotates, and the transmission precision and the service life of the coupler are affected.
In summary, in order to meet the actual requirement of large-range adjustable power transmission distance in a steel rolling production line, a novel axial large-telescopic crowned tooth coupler needs to be developed urgently, and when the axial large-telescopic function of the coupler is realized, the lubricating and abrasion problems of a kinematic pair in a large telescopic process are important.
