A wave transmission gearbox includes an output wheel, a deformable gear band, a low profile fixed spline, a wave generator, and a flexible-band-compensating rigid torque transmitter. The deformable gear band has external teeth transmitting relative torque motion to the output wheel, and is as wide as its external teeth. The low profile fixed spline has internal teeth meshing with the external teeth of the deformable gear band, and has a width which is a function of the width of the deformable gear band. The wave generator deforms the deformable gear band within the low profile fixed spline to generate relative torque motion between the deformable gear band and the low profile fixed spline. The flexible-band-compensating rigid torque transmitter transfers relative torque motion from the deformable gear band to the output wheel.

A bending meshing type gear device includes a wave generator; an external gear that is disposed on an outer periphery of the wave generator, and is bendably deformed as the wave generator rotates; a first internal gear meshing with the external gear; a second internal gear that is disposed on one side in an axial direction of the first internal gear to mesh with the external gear; and a wave generator bearing that is disposed between the external gear and the wave generator in a state where movement in the axial direction of the wave generator bearing is restricted. The external gear includes a protrusion on an inner periphery of the external gear. The protrusion engages with the wave generator bearing to restrict movement in the axial direction of the external gear.

A wave gear apparatus comprises a spline having top, bottom, exterior, and interior surfaces. A plurality of spline teeth extend from the interior surface toward a center axis. A wave generator is rotatably disposed in the spline. A belt assembly extends about the wave generator and includes a plurality of belt teeth extending radially outwardly, whereby a total number of the belt teeth is less than a total number of the spline teeth. An output member defines a recess receiving the wave generator and the belt whereby, in response to a rotational movement from the wave generator, the output member rotates in a direction same or opposite of the wave generator. A bearing assembly is disposed between the wave generator and the belt assembly and includes a plurality of needles each extending parallel to the center axis. A vehicle lifting system including the wave gear apparatus is also disclosed herein.

Disclosed herein is a wave generator for a reducer of a harmonic drive structure. The reducer of a harmonic drive structure includes: a circular spline of a ring shape; a flex spline mounted inside the circular spline and having teeth engaged with teeth formed at three or more positions of the inner circumferential surface of the circular spline to be rotated; and a wave generator mounted inside the flex spline, and including a cam plate of a circular shape, and three or more protrusions formed at three or more positions of the outer circumferential surface of the circular cam plate so that the protrusions formed on the outer circumferential surface of the cam plate elastically deform the three or more positions inside the flex spline.

A harmonic speed reducer is provided. The harmonic speed reducer includes a wave generator, a flexible gear, a first rigid gear, and a second rigid gear. The wave generator can be driven to rotate relative to a central axis. The flexible gear has a plurality of first outer gear structures, a division groove, and a plurality of second outer gear structures. The first rigid gear has a plurality of first inner gear structures configured to be engaged with the first outer gear structures. The second rigid gear has a plurality of second inner gear structures configured to be engaged with the second outer gear structures. A first intersection line is defined between each of the first inner gear structures and a sectional surface. An angle between the first intersection line and a first horizontal line is within a range from 0.1 degrees to 5 degrees.

A strain wave gearing unit has a unit housing, a strain wave gearing, and a bearing device. Balls of a bearing part of the bearing device are positioned on the diametrically outer side with respect to a cylindrical barrel part of an externally toothed gear. The diameter S of the balls is 0.05 to 0.15 times the pitch diameter D of the externally toothed gear. The centers of the balls are positioned between a point at a distance of 1.2 times the diameter S toward the cylindrical-barrel-part side from an inner-side end surface of a diaphragm along a center axis and a point at a distance of 1 times the diameter S toward a side opposite the cylindrical barrel part from the inner-side end surface. The bearing device can be configured to be used in common for strain wave gearing units having different axial lengths.

The present invention relates to a harmonic gear device in which a first similarity curve obtained by similarly transforming a reference curve representing a moving locus of an external tooth with respect to an internal tooth in a non-deflected state and a second similarity curve generated by similarly transforming the first similarity curve are used as a criterion for generating a tooth profile, wherein the present invention may provide the harmonic gear device that enlarges a first curve represented by a moving locus of positive deflection located above the apex of the reference curve among the moving loci of positive deflection of the external teeth on the basis of the reference curve to approximate an approximate reference point arranged on the second similarity curve to create a second curve, and uses the second curve as the top of the tooth profile of the external tooth.
