Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a driving device, in particular to a driving device and an electric cart containing the driving device. Background Art

[0002] At present, wheelbarrows are mostly used to transport concrete, earth, sand and gravel and other construction materials over short distances. However, the manpower is limited when using wheelbarrows, which results in a small amount of single transportation. The small amount of single transportation requires multiple round trips to complete the project, which prolongs the construction period and wastes time and manpower.

[0003] Electric carts can solve the problem of limited manpower for hand carts and shorten construction period to a certain extent, but they are limited by construction space. For example, electric carts used in secondary structure construction of buildings need to meet the characteristics of small size, large capacity, high power, low speed, and flexibility and safety.

[0004] The existing rear axle drive device is large in size and is limited by cost and size. The steering wheel and the drive are separated, the steering angle is small, and the device is not flexible.

[0005] The existing hub motor is a motor built into the wheel hub to directly drive the wheel. It is divided into outer rotor hub motor and inner rotor hub motor. Although both can be used for steering wheels, they are subject to the following restrictions: 1. The output torque is not enough. The outer rotor hub motor is a motor that directly drives the wheel hub, and the output torque is small. The electric cart is a construction vehicle with a certain carrying capacity and requires a larger torque drive. However, due to volume limitations, the inner rotor hub motor is a single-stage planetary reduction motor, which cannot obtain a large speed ratio and torque, and has a high cost, so it is not suitable for promotion in electric carts; 2. Disassembly is inconvenient. Replacing the wheel during construction requires rewiring, and replacing the wheel requires replacing the motor at the same time, which is costly and not suitable for widespread use in electric carts.

[0006] This application is specially proposed to address the defects of the prior art. Summary of the invention
