What is the basic working principle of turbine retarder?
Publish Time: 2024-08-23
The basic working principle of the turbine reducer (also known as worm gear reducer) mainly involves the interaction between the turbine and the worm, as follows:
Basic structure
The turbine reducer is mainly composed of worm gear, worm, bearing, oil seal and other components. A worm wheel is a cylindrical spiral gear, usually made of low hardness cast iron or copper; The worm is a long spiral shaped shaft, usually made of high-strength alloy steel, with high wear and corrosion resistance.
Working principle
Power input: The motor or other power source transmits the power of high-speed rotation to the worm through the input shaft.
Worm rotation: When the worm is driven by the power source to rotate, its spiral grain will mesh with the spiral teeth on the worm gear.
The worm wheel is pushed: Because the spiral grain of the worm is closely matched with the spiral teeth of the worm wheel, the rotation of the worm will push the worm wheel into the state of motion. Because the number of teeth of the worm wheel is relatively small, each turn, the worm can only make the worm wheel move forward one tooth, so as to achieve the deceleration effect.
Deceleration output: Through the interaction of worm gear and worm, the high-speed rotation of the motor is translated into the low-speed rotation of the worm gear. This low-speed rotating output shaft is then connected to the driven device to provide a suitable working speed.
Peculiarity
Large reduction ratio: the turbine reducer can achieve a large reduction ratio to meet the speed requirements under different working conditions.
High precision: Due to the high precision of the fit between the worm gear and the worm, the turbine reducer can provide a high precision transmission effect.
Low noise: Turbine reducer design is reasonable, smooth operation, low noise.
High efficiency: Although there is friction loss, the overall transmission efficiency of the turbine reducer is still high.
Self-locking function: The worm gear and worm spiral line clearance is small, so that the turbine reducer has a self-locking function, which can resist the reverse torque caused by the load imposed on the output shaft.
Application field
Turbine retarders are widely used in a variety of mechanical equipment, including transport vehicles (such as ships, automobiles, locomotives), heavy machinery for construction, processing machinery and automatic production equipment used in the machinery industry, household appliances and clocks in daily life. Its unique performance characteristics make the turbine reducer play an important role in industrial production.
Care and maintenance
In order to maintain the good performance of the turbine reducer, regular maintenance and maintenance are required. This includes checking for wear on worm gears and gears, changing lubricating oil or grease, cleaning transmission components, and more. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to avoid overload when using the turbine reducer to prevent it from being damaged.
The above content is based on the structure, working principle, characteristics, application fields, maintenance and other aspects of the turbine reducer. I hope this information will help you better understand the turbine reducer.
