Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power motor technology, and in particular to a dual rotor motor. Background Technology

[0002] In the current field of motor technology, most existing motors adopt a single rotor output design. This traditional motor has a simple structure, typically equipped with only one rotor element and a corresponding stator element, with power output relying on the rotation of a single rotor. Its limitations are quite obvious. When facing complex operating conditions requiring high power and multiple output modes, a single rotor motor struggles to meet practical needs. Because there is only one rotor output, the motor's power and torque output are relatively fixed, making it difficult to flexibly adjust to adapt to different working scenarios. Furthermore, when greater power is required, it can only be achieved by increasing the motor size or power, which not only increases costs but also leads to a larger footprint, hindering system integration and miniaturization design.

[0003] Furthermore, single-rotor motors lack the ability to integrate multiple motors, failing to effectively combine and coordinate the power output of multiple motors. In applications requiring multiple power sources to work together, multiple independent motors must be used, complicating the overall system structure, increasing control difficulty, and raising the probability of malfunctions.

The sun gears 43 are evenly distributed circumferentially and mesh with the output gear 42 and the internal gear disk 44 respectively, forming a multi-stage gear transmission. This design helps to achieve balanced torque distribution and optimized transmission ratio, ensuring excellent power performance of the motor under different operating conditions. The second bearing 411 connects the inner diameter of the transmission bracket 41 to the first output element 23, effectively supporting the intermediate transmission structure, reducing mechanical vibration, lowering gear meshing noise, and improving the smoothness and reliability of the transmission.
