[0096] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 , the first limiting assembly includes an annular step 1353 extending radially inward from the inner wall of the wheel shaft hole 1351, and the annular step 1353 abuts against the outer ring of the second bearing 1360. In this embodiment, the first limiting assembly abuts against the outer ring of the second bearing 1360 through the annular step 1353 integrally formed with the limiting seat 1350 to limit the second bearing 1360 from moving on the limiting seat 1350 toward the power output shaft 1331. And when installing the second bearing 1360, it only needs to abut it with the annular step 1353, and no assembly operation of additional structural components is required, which is convenient for installation. The second limiting assembly includes a plurality of screws 10 arranged around the wheel shaft hole 1351, and the limiting seat 1350 is correspondingly provided with a screw hole, and the screw rod of the screw 10 is inserted into the screw hole, and the head of the screw 10 abuts against the outer ring of the second bearing 1360. In this embodiment, the second limiting assembly abuts against the outer ring of the second bearing 1360 through the heads of several screws 10 arranged around the wheel axle 1351 to limit the movement of the second bearing 1360 on the limiting seat 1350 away from the power output shaft 1331. The structure is simple and easy to disassemble and assemble.

In this embodiment, the wheel axle 1340 abuts against the power output shaft 1331 through the plurality of fasteners 20, so that the wheel axle 1340 and the power output shaft 1331 are locked and fixed in the axial direction. Based on this, the power output shaft 1331 can drive the wheel axle 1340 to rotate synchronously when rotating. Figure 4 In actual configuration, there may be three fasteners 20 , which are arranged in sequence and spaced apart around the wheel axle 1340 .

[0099] Furthermore, the end of the power output shaft 1331 is configured with an axial plane 1331a, wherein at least one fastener 20 abuts against the axial plane 1331a of the end of the power output shaft 1331. In this embodiment, the friction between the fastener 20 and the power output shaft 1331 can be increased by the axial plane 1331a configured at the end of the power output shaft 1331 and at least one fastener 20 abutting against it, so as to further strengthen the connection stability between the power output shaft 1331 and the wheel shaft 1340, thereby improving the transmission stability.

[0100] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The limiting seat 1350 is provided with a receiving chamber 1354 located between the wheel axle 1351 and the power output shaft hole 1352 and at least one opening 1355 located on its circumferential side and connected to the receiving chamber 1354, and the fastener 20 is located in the receiving chamber 1354.

As a preferred design, there are four openings 1355, and the four openings 1355 are respectively arranged on the four circumferential sides of the limiting seat 1350. In addition, the arrangement of the receiving chamber 1354 and the opening 1355 on the limiting seat 1350 realizes the weight reduction of its own structure, thereby reducing the load of the mobile vehicle 1000 and improving the movement performance of the mobile vehicle 1000.
