Definitions
- the present invention relates to a planetary carrier according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Planetary bearings are used in planetary gears, especially precision gears, to support the planets in a planet carrier. Such planetary bearings must be adequately lubricated in order to work properly and achieve a sufficient service life. Due to the compactness of such planetary gears, both the integration of a lubricant supply and the integration of a device to transport the lubricant into the planetary gear are a challenge.
- planetary bearings have been lubricated by introducing lubricant into the planetary gear using splash lubrication.
- the aim here is to ensure that a sufficient amount of lubricant reaches the planetary bearings and in particular their running surfaces during splash lubrication through the rotation of the planet carrier.
- the planet carrier has a cylindrical disc shape with an outer and an inner surface.
- the inner surface defines a central inner bore which a sun gear of a planetary gear can be arranged.
- the disc also has several external bores arranged around the central internal bore. Planet gears can be stored in the outer bores, in particular using planetary bearings accommodated in the outer bores.
- a lubrication passage is provided at least in sections on the inner surface.
- This lubrication passage can be designed as a completely or partially circumferential lubrication groove.
- the lubrication passage can be designed as a lubrication passage (or several lubrication passages) from the central inner bore to the outer bores.
- the lubrication passage can be produced, for example with a side milling cutter or similar, as a sectional groove and not completely circumferential, with the inner lateral surface only being pierced at the position of the outer bore. The depth of this recess extends to the respective external bore and thus forms the lubrication passage.
- the lubrication passage is designed to pass on lubricant that is introduced into the inner bore to the outer bores and thus to the planetary bearings. This can be done during operation, allowing permanent lubrication of the planetary bearings as opposed to splash lubrication.
- a lubrication passage can also be provided, at least in sections, on the outer lateral surface.
- a lubrication passage is designed to pass on lubricant from the outside of the planet carrier to the outer bores.
- this lubrication passage can be designed as a completely or partially circumferential lubricant.
- the lubrication passage can be designed as a lubrication passage (or several lubrication passages) from the outside, i.e. from the outer lateral surface, to the outer bores. Further configurations are also possible, with some variants being explained in more detail below.
- several can be on or in the inner surface
- Lubrication passages can be provided which are distributed extensively. Through such a comprehensive This distribution ensures that lubricant reaches all external bores.
- the depth of the one or more lubrication passages can extend at least partially radially outwards to the outer bores.
- the lubricant can be conveyed from the central inner bore via the lubrication passage(s) to the planetary bearings, i.e. to the outer bores.
- this extension of the lubrication passage(s) forms a lubricant passage from the central inner bore to the outer bores.
- the one or more lubrication passages in this case are formed by through holes from the central inner bore to the outer bores.
- the lubrication passage on the inner lateral surface comprises a lubrication groove which is arranged in the circumferential direction on the inner lateral surface.
- the lubrication passage includes at least one channel extending radially outward to the outer bores to form a lubricant passage from the central inner bore to the outer bores.
- the channel is therefore designed as a passage for lubricant from the lubrication groove to the outer bores.
- lubricant can be introduced into the central inner bore and is then present in the lubricant.
- the lubricant can be conveyed to the external bores via one or more channels.
- the channels are preferably arranged in the area of the outer bores or lead in the radial direction from the inner bore to the outer bores.
- lubricant passages which are formed either due to the radial extent of the depth of the lubricating passage(s) and/or due to the channels, lubricant can reach from the inner bore to the planetary bearings, in particular to their raceways. Due to the gravitational force and/or preferably due to the centrifugal force during the rotation of the planet carrier, lubricant is transported from the inner bore into the lubrication passage and into the lubricant passages. In particular, due to the centrifugal force created by the rotation of the planet carrier, lubricant that enters the inner bore of the planet carrier is accelerated outwards in the radial direction and pressed into the lubrication passage and the passages to the outer bores.
- a planetary carrier which rotates at a rotational speed of more than 30 rpm, preferably approximately 200 rpm. Such a speed can ensure that lubricant moves to the external bores due to centrifugal force during operation. In this way, reliable and long-lasting lubrication can also be achieved during operation.
- the lubrication passage can be designed as a lubricant and in particular as a completely circumferential lubricant. This enables a particularly simple production of the lubrication groove, since it can be made all around the inner lateral surface, for example milled.
- the outer bores are designed as outer rings for the planetary bearings.
- the outer holes serve directly as outer rings without the need for additional outer rings.
- the rolling elements of the planetary bearings can roll on the surface of the outer bores, which serve as a running surface, or the surface of the outer bores serves as a mating surface for a plain bearing.
- outer rings can be inserted into the outer bores.
- the outer rings each have a lubricant passage which is fluidly connected to the lubricant passage, for example the channels.
- the planet carrier has a plurality of lubrication passages on the outer surface, which are distributed in sections over the circumference.
- these lubrication passages not only is the inner bore fluidly connected to the outer bores, but the outside can also be fluidly connected to the outer bores.
- an inner ring of a main bearing which serves to support the planet carrier, can be arranged on the outer surface.
- This main bearing can be lubricated via these lubrication passages in a similar manner to that described for the planetary bearings.
- these several, circumferentially distributed lubrication passages can ensure that lubricant is conveyed particularly well to all external bores.
- the depth of the one or more lubrication passages on the outer surface may extend at least partially radially inward to the outer bores to form a lubricant passage from the outside to the outer bores.
- the lubrication passage on the outer lateral surface can in an analogous manner have a lubricant which is formed in the circumferential direction on the outer lateral surface and at least one channel which extends radially inwards to the outer bores to form a lubricant passage from the outside to the outside bores.
- a plurality of channels are preferably provided, each of which is arranged in the area of the outer bores. In this way, each external bore can be supplied with lubricant via a channel.
- the lubrication passage in the outer lateral surface can also be designed either in sections, in particular in the area of channels to the outer bores, or completely circumferential. Such a circumferential lubrication passage or lubrication groove is particularly easy to produce.
- Fig. 1 a perspective view of a planet carrier according to an embodiment
- Fig. 2 a sectional view of the planet carrier from Fig. 1.
- identical or functionally equivalent elements are identified with the same reference numerals.
- Figures 1 and 2 show a planet carrier 1, which consists of a cylindrical disk 2.
- the disk 2 has an inner surface 3 which defines a central inner bore 4.
- a sun gear (not shown) of a planetary gear can be arranged in the inner bore 4.
- the disk 2 also has an outer lateral surface 6, which can be connected to a housing, for example, via a main bearing (not shown).
- a flange 8 is provided on the outer surface 6.
- the flange can be used to connect a drive, e.g. B. another gear stage or an electric motor, or to connect the output, e.g. B. another gear stage or a robot arm can be used.
- the disk On the front side, the disk has optional rigidity elements 10, via which two planet carriers can be connected.
- External bores 12 are arranged around the inner bore 4.
- Four external bores 12 are shown here as an example, but more or fewer external bores 12 can also be provided.
- Planet gears (not shown) can be accommodated in the outer bores 12.
- 12 planetary bearings (not shown) can be arranged in the outer bores, which store the planet gears in the planet carrier 1.
- outer rings of the planetary bearings can be accommodated in the outer bores 12 or the outer bores 12 can themselves serve as outer rings.
- lubrication passages 14, 18 are provided in the planetary carrier 1.
- a lubricating passage 14 is arranged on the inner lateral surface 3 and a further lubricating passage 18 is provided on the outer lateral surface 6.
- the lubrication passages 14, 18 are each designed as lubrication grooves 14, 18 in combination with channels.
- these can also be designed as through holes between the inner bore 4 and the outer bores 12 or the outside and the outer bores 12.
- the lubrication passages 14, 18 create fluidic connections between the inner bore 4 and the outer bores 12 or the outside and the outer bores 12, as will be explained in more detail below using a special embodiment.
- a lubrication groove 14, as part of a lubrication passage, is at least partially provided on the inner lateral surface 3 in the circumferential direction.
- the lubrication groove 14 is provided completely circumferentially. However, it can only be present in sections.
- lubricant that is introduced into the inner bore 4 can be passed on to the outer bores 12 and thus to the planetary bearings.
- lubricant which is located in the inner bore 4 is pressed outwards and into the lubricant 14 by the gravitational and/or centrifugal force.
- the depth of the lubricating groove 14 can extend at least partially radially outwards to the outer bores 12.
- the lubrication groove 14 can extend to the outer bores 12 or channels can be provided so that the outer bores 12 are fluidly connected to the lubrication groove 14.
- corresponding passages 16 are present in the outer bores 12, which result either from the corresponding depth of the lubrication groove 14 or through channels between the lubrication groove 14 and the outer bores 12.
- the lubricant is pressed into the lubrication groove 14 by the gravitational and/or centrifugal force and then from the lubrication groove 14 into the passages 16 and then into the planetary bearings.
- these can also have lubricant passages, for example channels, to transport the lubricant into the interior of the planetary bearing and in particular onto the running surfaces.
- a further forge 18 can additionally be provided in the outer lateral surface 6 in the circumferential direction.
- the inner bore 4 fluidly connected to the outer bores 12, but the outside can also be fluidly connected to the outer bores 12.
- the outer bores 12 can have further passages or channels 20, as shown in FIG. 2. Via these channels 20, the outer bores 12 are fluidly connected to the lubricant 18 in the outer lateral surface 6 and thus to the outside.
- lubricant present via the inner bore 4 or in the inner bore 4 can be transported not only to the outer bores 12 but also to the outer lateral surface 6 and, for example, to a main bearing arranged there.
- a main bearing could, like the planetary bearings, have corresponding passages in order to transport the lubricant into the interior of the main bearing.
- the planetary carrier described here achieves simple and reliable lubrication of the planetary bearings, which can be maintained permanently, that is, especially during operation of the planetary carrier.
