[0024] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementation methods of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1-6 The single-stage transmission shown in the figure includes a drive end plate 1, a transmission housing 2, an input shaft 3, and an output shaft 4. The transmission housing 2 is fastened to one side of the drive end plate 1 by bolts, thereby forming a sealed mounting cavity between the drive end plate 1 and the transmission housing 2. The input shaft 3 and the output shaft 4 are both mounted within the mounting cavity.

[0026] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, a driving shaft hole 11 is opened on the upper part of the driving member end plate 1 and passes through the driving member end plate 1. An output shaft bearing seat 12 is fixed to the lower part of the right side of the driving member end plate 1. The output shaft bearing seat 12 and the driving member end plate 1 are integrally formed.

[0027] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 As shown, an input shaft bearing seat 21 is fixed to the upper portion of the left side of the transmission housing 2. The input shaft bearing seat 21 is coaxially arranged with the drive shaft hole 11 and is integrally formed with the transmission housing 2. An output shaft hole 22 is formed in the lower portion of the transmission housing 2 and passes through the transmission housing 2. The output shaft hole 22 is coaxially arranged with the output shaft bearing seat 12.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the drive end plate 1 is the motor end plate. The motor's rotor is mounted on the left side of the drive end plate 1. The motor's drive shaft 6 is mounted in a drive shaft hole 11 via a drive shaft bearing 9. When the motor is started, the rotor drives the drive shaft 6 to rotate. An oil seal 8 is installed between the drive shaft 6 and the drive shaft hole 11 to isolate the gearbox from the outside air and prevent lubricating oil leakage.

[0029] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5As shown, an input gear 31 is integrally formed on the input shaft 3. An input shaft bearing 5 is mounted on the right end of the input shaft 3 via a small retaining spring 34. The left end of the input shaft bearing 5 is mounted within the input shaft bearing seat 21 via a large retaining spring 35. The small retaining spring 34 and the large retaining spring 35 cooperate to limit the axial position of the input shaft 3. The input shaft bearing 5 is a four-point angular contact bearing. The inner ring (or outer ring) of a four-point contact ball bearing is precisely assembled from two half-rings, and the groove curvature radius of its entire outer ring (or inner ring) is very small, ensuring that the steel balls contact the inner and outer rings at four "points." This increases radial load capacity while simultaneously being able to withstand large axial loads in both directions in a compact package. Furthermore, it provides excellent axial limiting capability in both directions.

[0030] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 As shown, the left end of the input shaft 3 is formed with an external spline 32, and the right end of the drive shaft 6 is provided with a cylindrical mounting groove 61. The mounting groove 61 is coaxial with the drive shaft 6, and the inner wall of the mounting groove 61 is formed with an internal spline 62 that mates with the external spline 32. When the drive shaft 6 rotates, the torque is transmitted to the input shaft 3 through the internal spline 62 and the external spline 32.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 As shown, a positioning stub 33 is also fixed to the left end of the input shaft 3. The positioning stub 33 is coaxial with the input shaft 3 and has a smaller outer diameter than the input shaft 3. The left end of the positioning stub 33 is chamfered. A positioning hole 63 is defined at the bottom of the mounting groove 61. The inner diameter of the positioning hole 63 matches the outer diameter of the positioning stub 33, and the depth of the positioning hole 63 is greater than the length of the positioning stub 33. The positioning stub 33 is inserted into the positioning hole 63 to limit the radial direction of the input shaft 3.

[0032] like Figure 1 、 Figure 6 As shown, the output shaft 4 is integrally formed with an output gear 41. Output shaft bearings 7 are mounted at each end of the output shaft 4. The left-hand output shaft bearing 7 is mounted on the output shaft bearing seat 12, while the right-hand output shaft bearing 7 is mounted within the output shaft hole 22. The output gear 41 meshes with the input gear 31, and the right end of the output shaft 4 is connected to the load. The torque of the input shaft 3 is transmitted to the output shaft 4 via the input gear 31 and the output gear 41, and then to the load after the speed change. An oil seal 8 is installed between the output shaft 4 and the output shaft hole 22 to isolate the gearbox from the outside air and prevent leakage of the gearbox lubricating oil.

[0033] The input gear 31 and the output gear 41 are both helical gears, ensuring more stable speed-changing performance. The output shaft bearing 7 is a cylindrical roller bearing, with line contact between the cylindrical rollers and the raceway. This provides a high load capacity and low friction between the rolling elements and the ribs of the ferrule, making it suitable for high-speed rotation.

[0034] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0035] By supporting and connecting one end of the input shaft through the drive shaft bearing, one bearing of the transmission is reduced, thereby lowering the production cost of the single-stage transmission; at the same time, the structure of the transmission case used to support the bearing is also reduced, which is conducive to the miniaturization and lightweight design of the transmission.

[0036] In the description of the present invention, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention: the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
