Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] Other specific features and advantages will be clearly shown in the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the description is given as a rough rather than limiting guide, in which

[0016] FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a gearbox in the prior art.

[0017] FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of a gearbox according to the present invention.

[0018] FIG. 3 is an exploded view of components of the gearbox according to the present invention.

[0019] All the drawings are only schematic and are not necessarily drawn to scale. In addition, only those parts necessary to illustrate the invention are shown, and other parts are omitted or only mentioned. That is, in addition to the components shown in the drawings, the invention may also include other components.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the housing portion of the gearbox in the present invention includes a first end cover 1 on the left side, a second end cover 8 on the right side, and a gearbox intermediate housing 4. The first end cover 1 and the second end cover 8 close the gearbox intermediate housing 4 from both sides respectively, and the transmission components are arranged in the closed space.

[0022] The transmission components include two-stage transmission devices. Specifically, the first transmission stage is composed of a first sun gear 3, a first planetary carrier 5, and a first ring gear formed on the inner side of the gearbox intermediate housing 4. The power input by the electric motor is transmitted to the first sun gear 3, then to the first planetary carrier 5 via the planetary gear, and then to the second transmission stage.

[0023] The second transmission stage includes a second sun gear, a second ring gear 6 and a second planetary carrier 7. The second ring gear 6 is fixedly arranged on the gearbox intermediate housing 4. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the first planetary carrier 5 and the second sun gear are configured to be one piece. Of course, this is only an exemplary embodiment; the first planetary carrier 5 and the second sun gear may not be integrated as one piece, but made of separate parts respectively. The power is finally output by the second planetary carrier 7.

[0024] As can be seen from FIG. 2, a bearing 2 is arranged in the central through hole of the first end cover 1 to support the input shaft. No bearing is arranged in the central through hole of the second end cover 8, and the second planetary carrier 7 is directly supported in the through hole. Compared with the existing transmission box, the transmission box of the present invention has a higher transmission ratio (up to 30 at most), resulting in a lower output rotation speed of the second planetary carrier 7. Due to the lower rotation speed, the wear between the second planetary carrier 7 and the second end cap 2 is relatively reduced. In this way, the bearing may not be provided, which reduces the cost.

[0025] In addition, as a preferred embodiment, lubricating oil is arranged between the second planetary carrier 7 and the second end cover 8 to further reduce the wear therebetween.

[0026] It can also be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3 that a gasket 9 is arranged between the first end cover 1 and the planetary gear disposed on the first planetary carrier 5 to reduce friction.

[0027] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 2, the gearbox intermediate housing 4 of the present invention is provided with a radially and inwardly extending support portion to support the first planetary carrier 5. The support structure enables the operation of the first planetary carrier 5 to be more stable, which reduces the operating noise of the gearbox.

[0028] The present invention redesigns the transmission ratio of the gearbox, making it greater than or equal to 25, preferably between 25-30, so as to increase the locked rotor torque of the gearbox, thus making it greater than 5.5 Nm. Accordingly, due to the increase of the torque, in order to increase the strength of structural members, the second sun gear is made of metal materials. Of course, the first sun gear, the first planetary carrier and the second planetary carrier can also be made of metal materials. In addition, the output rotation speed decreases due to the increase of the transmission ratio, so the bearing member can be omitted at the output end.

[0029] The present invention has been clearly and completely described with reference to the above schematic embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand 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 to fall within the scope of the present invention determined by its claims and any of its equivalent technical solutions.
