That is, the present invention may also include other components in addition to those shown in the drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The motor of the present invention is described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. The motor of the present invention comprises a motor housing 5, a cavity being formed inside the motor housing 5, and a stator assembly, a rotor assembly 4, etc. being accommodated in the cavity. The housing may have various shapes, such as cylindrical shape, prismatic shape, and the like. In the schematic embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the housing 5 has a cylindrical structure. Both ends of the housing 5 have openings, one end is closed by the end cover 3, and the other end is closed by the flange portion 6.

[0026] The rotor assembly 4 comprises a rotor shaft, one end of which passes through the end cover 3 and is supported in the end cover 3, for example, by a bearing 10, and the other end of which passes through the flange portion 6 and is supported in the flange portion 6, for example, by a bearing 7. The rotor shaft is provided with a connection section connected with a gearbox, the connection section being shown in the form of output teeth 9 in FIG. 1. Preferably, a gasket 8 is provided between the output tooth 9 and the bearing 7.

[0027] In addition, a magnetic ring 1 is arranged outside the end cover 3 of the motor. Preferably, a gasket 2 is provided between the magnetic ring 1 and the bearing 10.

[0028] As can be seen from FIG. 3, as a feasible embodiment, the motor end cover 3 and the flange portion 6 are both fixedly arranged on the motor housing 5. A hole is arranged near the edge of the opening of the motor housing 5, and the hole produces a metal rib on the motor housing 5. Correspondingly, the motor end cover 3 and the flange portion 6 are provided with respective elongated grooves. During assembly, the rib on the motor housing 5 is riveted and pressed into the groove, so that the motor end cover 3 and the flange portion 6 are clamped and fixed at both ends of the motor housing 5.

[0029] Further, the magnetic ring 1 and the output teeth 9 respectively arranged at corresponding end of the motor rotor shaft can be firmly connected to the rotor shaft by, for example, riveting. In order to prevent the axial movement of the rotor shaft, on the one hand, a boss is arranged on the axial end face of the motor end cover 5, and the end face of the boss is butted against the end face of the magnetic ring 1, so as to limit the axial movement of the rotor shaft in one direction; on the other hand, the axial end face of the flange portion 6 is also provided with a boss, and the end face of the boss is butted against the end face of the output tooth 9, thereby restricting the movement of the rotor shaft in the other axial direction. Therefore, presences of the magnetic ring 1 and the output teeth 9 can axially fix the rotor shaft.

[0030] The structure of the motor in the present invention has been described in detail above in combination with FIGS. 1 to 3. The following describes the structures of the gearbox adapted to the present invention and the driver comprising the motor of the present invention in combination with FIGS. 4-5.

[0031] Referring to FIG. 4, as a schematic illustration, the gearbox 100 adapted to the motor of the present invention comprises a gearbox housing 101. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the flange portion 6 of the motor is assembled with the gearbox housing 101. A gear transmission mechanism is contained in the gearbox housing 101. Since the specific structure of the gear transmission mechanism is not the focus of the present invention, it will not be discussed in detail here. Preferably, the gearbox housing 101 may be made of plastic material. The flange portion 6 can also be made of plastic material, and apparently, other suitable materials, such as stainless steel, can also be used. The two ends of the flange portion 6 are respectively connected with the gearbox housing 101 of the gearbox 100 and the motor housing 5.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the flange portion 6 is connected to the gearbox housing 101 of the gearbox 100 by laser welding.

[0033] FIG. 5 shows the structure after assembly of the motor and the gearbox in the present invention. The motor and the gearbox 100 are connected together through the flange portion 6. The motor output teeth 9 assembled on the rotor shaft of the motor mesh with the input gear of the gearbox 100 to output the rotary power of the motor to the gearbox 100. The two form an integral driver to output power.

[0034] The present invention has been clearly and completely described with reference to the above schematic embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various other embodiments can be envisaged by modifying the disclosed technical solution without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. These embodiments should be understood as falling within the scope determined by the present invention based on the claims and any equivalent technical solution thereof.
