The invention belongs to the technical field of motors, and particularly relates to an overload protection motor for load-carrying machinery, which comprises a driving motor, a fixed seat, a movable seat, a first connecting piece, a second connecting piece, a first convex block, a second convex block, an output shaft, a stop block, a first spring and a second spring. When the output shaft is locked, the driving motor drives the first connecting piece to rotate relative to the second connecting piece, so that teeth on the first connecting piece are meshed with the tooth surface, provided with the first convex block, of the second connecting piece, the first convex block is compressed into the pressure cavity, and the second convex block at the other end of the pressure cavity is extruded out; the stop block completely enters the sliding groove in the output shaft, then the output shaft and the second connecting piece are not restrained in the rotating direction, then the motor is separated from a force transmission path of the load end through a mechanical structure, overload protection of the motor is achieved, the structure is simpler, the number of needed parts is smaller, and cost is lower.
