[0007] The RV speed reduction device provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided with a center connecting shaft and a circumferential connecting shaft on the output frame, so that the output frame and the support flange are connected through the center connecting shaft and the circumferential connecting shaft. During the operation of the RV speed reduction device, that is, when the primary speed reduction mechanism and the secondary speed reduction mechanism rotate under the condition of bearing load, the center connecting shaft and the circumferential connecting shaft together bear the load borne by the RV speed reduction device. In the prior art, the output structure, that is, only the circumferential connecting shaft is provided on the output frame of the prior art, and the output frame and the support flange are connected only through the circumferential connecting shaft, and a center hole is formed in the middle of the output frame for the lubricating material to pass through. Under the condition of bearing load, the RV speed reduction device of the prior art bears the load only through the circumferential connecting shaft of the output frame. Therefore, compared with the RV speed reduction device of the prior art, the load bearing capacity of the output frame of the RV speed reduction device provided by the present application is enhanced.
[0008] Meanwhile, the RV speed reduction device provided by the application is characterized in that the output frame and the support flange are connected through the central connecting shaft and the circumferential connecting shaft, and the central connecting shaft and the circumferential connecting shaft together bear the load borne by the RV speed reduction device. Compared with the prior art in which only the circumferential connecting shaft bears the load, the circumferential connecting shaft of the output frame of the RV speed reduction device provided by the application bears a smaller load than the circumferential connecting shaft of the output frame of the prior art under the condition that the RV speed reduction device bears the same load. Therefore, the size of the circumferential connecting shaft can be appropriately reduced, i.e., the diameter of the circumferential connecting shaft can be appropriately reduced, when the output frame of the RV speed reduction device provided by the application is produced. When the diameter of the circumferential connecting shaft is appropriately reduced, the design theoretical value of the diameter of the circumferential connecting hole through which the circumferential connecting shaft passes on the upper and lower cycloid wheels can be appropriately reduced. In this way, the spacing between the circumferential connecting holes on the upper and lower cycloid wheels, i.e., the wall thickness between the circumferential connecting holes, is increased. Similarly, the wall thickness between the circumferential connecting hole and the central connecting hole is also increased, thereby enhancing the overall rigidity of the upper and lower cycloid wheels and making them less likely to deform. It should be noted that the circumferential connecting shaft of the output frame passes through the circumferential connecting holes on the upper and lower cycloid wheels, and the outer wall of the circumferential connecting shaft does not contact the inner wall of the circumferential connecting hole. Therefore, when the diameter of the circumferential connecting shaft is appropriately reduced under the condition that the diameter of the circumferential connecting hole remains unchanged, the clearance of the through hole, i.e., the spacing between the outer wall of the circumferential connecting shaft and the inner wall of the circumferential connecting hole when the circumferential connecting shaft passes through the circumferential connecting hole on the upper and lower cycloid wheels, is increased. Generally, in order to improve the load bearing capacity of the output frame, the diameter of the circumferential connecting shaft needs to be as large as possible, while in order to increase the rigidity of the upper and lower cycloid wheels, the diameter of the circumferential connecting hole needs to be as small as possible. Therefore, the clearance of the through hole between the circumferential connecting shaft and the circumferential connecting hole is very small, and during the operation of the RV speed reduction device, the upper and lower cycloid wheels perform eccentric motion, further reducing the clearance of the through hole. In order to reduce the processing cost, the two are usually non-processed surfaces, i.e., blank surfaces, so the dimensional tolerance is large. If the design size of the circumferential connecting shaft and the circumferential connecting hole is not controlled well, the two may interfere with each other. When the clearance of the through hole is increased, the processing tolerance range is increased during the processing of the upper and lower cycloid wheels, thereby reducing the processing precision and the processing cost.
[0009] In addition, the output frame of the prior art has a central hole in the middle, which sacrifices the rigidity of the output frame, while the output frame of the RV speed reduction device of the application does not have a hole in the middle, but has a central connecting shaft, so that the rigidity of the output frame of the application is greater, and the torsional rigidity is also greater. When the RV speed reduction device is under load, it not only bears torque but also bending moment. The central hole of the output frame of the prior art is empty when a large bending moment is applied, and the deformation is also large. However, the middle part of the output frame of the application is provided with a central connecting shaft, so that the middle part of the output frame is supported, and the overall rigidity is also improved. Meanwhile, the central connecting shaft is provided with a first threaded hole, the first fastener passes through the central through hole on the support flange and the first threaded hole on the central connecting shaft, and a friction force is generated between the first fastener and the central through hole and the first threaded hole, so that the RV speed reduction device can transmit greater torque, and the overall resistance to torsional deformation is increased, that is, the torsional rigidity is increased.
[0010] In a possible implementation, the second fastener is a bolt; and the planet carrier further comprises a bolt connecting sleeve, which is at least partially embedded in the second threaded hole, and the second fastener passes through the circumferential through hole, the bolt connecting sleeve and the second threaded hole to connect the output frame and the support flange.
[0011] In the above implementation, the second threaded hole is provided with a bolt connecting sleeve. Specifically, the bolt connecting sleeve is coaxially arranged with the second threaded hole, and a part of the bolt connecting sleeve is embedded in the second threaded hole, and another part of the bolt connecting sleeve is embedded in the circumferential through hole in communication with the second threaded hole. The second fastener is a bolt, which passes through the circumferential through hole, the bolt connecting sleeve and the second threaded hole to connect the output frame and the support flange. By arranging the bolt connecting sleeve, the second fastener is less likely to fail when facing a large impact load, thereby enhancing the impact resistance of the RV speed reduction device. When the RV speed reduction device is subjected to external impact during operation, a large torque is applied to the RV speed reduction device. At this time, a large shear force is generated on the second fastener at the connecting surface between the output frame and the support flange. The bolt connecting sleeve can increase the shear resistance of the second fastener. When facing a large impact load, the second fastener is less likely to fail.
[0012] In a possible implementation, the bolt connecting sleeve is cylindrical or conical, the second threaded hole is in communication with the circumferential through hole, and defines a connecting sleeve hole matched with the bolt connecting sleeve.
[0013] In the implementation process, the bolt connecting sleeve can be cylindrical, conical or circular truncated conical, the second threaded hole is in abutment and communication with the circumferential through hole, and defines a connecting sleeve hole matched with the bolt connecting sleeve. In other words, the inner wall surface of the second threaded hole cooperates with the inner wall surface of the circumferential through hole to define a connecting surface matched with the outer wall surface of the bolt connecting sleeve, so that the outer wall surface of the bolt connecting sleeve is in abutment with the inner wall surface of the second threaded hole and the inner wall surface of the circumferential through hole. Of course, after the second threaded hole is in abutment and communication with the circumferential through hole, the bolt connecting sleeve matched with the connecting surface defined by the inner wall surface of the second threaded hole and the inner wall surface of the circumferential through hole can also be selected according to the specific structure of the connecting surface.
[0014] In a possible implementation, the second fastener is a stepped bolt, the second threaded hole is in communication with the circumferential through hole, and defines a stepped hole matched with the stepped bolt.
[0015] In the implementation process, the second fastener can be a stepped bolt, the stepped bolt includes a bolt head and a stepped bolt rod, wherein the stepped bolt rod includes a first stepped rod and a second stepped rod connected with the first stepped rod, the first stepped rod and the second stepped rod are coaxially arranged, and the diameter of the first stepped rod is greater than the diameter of the second stepped rod, the bolt head is coaxially arranged and connected with the first stepped rod, and the diameter of the bolt head is greater than the diameter of the first stepped rod; correspondingly, the second threaded hole is in abutment and communication with the circumferential through hole after abutment, and the second threaded hole and the circumferential through hole define a stepped hole for the stepped bolt to pass through. Specifically, the second threaded hole includes a first step hole and a second step hole coaxially arranged and communicated with the first step hole, wherein the diameter of the first step hole is matched with the diameter of the first stepped rod of the stepped bolt, the diameter of the second step hole is matched with the diameter of the second stepped rod of the stepped bolt, and the depth of the second step hole is equal to the length of the second stepped rod. The circumferential through hole includes a bolt head hole and a connecting hole coaxially arranged and communicated with the bolt head hole, wherein the diameter and length of the bolt head hole are matched with the diameter and length of the bolt head of the stepped bolt, the connecting hole is in abutment and communication with the first step hole, the diameter of the connecting hole is the same as that of the first step hole, and the sum of the length of the connecting hole and the first step hole is equal to the length of the first stepped rod. The first step hole, the second step hole, the connecting hole and the bolt head hole together form the stepped hole, and the stepped bolt is embedded in the stepped hole to connect the output frame and the support flange.
[0016] In a possible implementation, the support flange is provided with a fixing hole matched with the central connecting shaft, the diameter of the central connecting shaft is greater than the diameter of the fixing hole, the outer side wall of the central connecting shaft is tightly connected with the inner side wall of the fixing hole, and the first fastener passes through the central through hole and the first threaded hole on the central connecting shaft to connect the output frame and the support flange.
[0017] In the implementation process, the diameter of the center connecting shaft is greater than the diameter of the fixing hole, the outer side wall of the center connecting shaft is tightly connected with the inner side wall of the fixing hole, and the first fastener passes through the center through hole and the first threaded hole on the center connecting shaft to connect the output frame with the support flange, thereby enhancing the rigidity of the planetary carrier, and the center connecting shaft and the fixing hole are in interference fit, so that the output frame and the support flange can be connected more tightly, and the greater the tightness of the connection between the output frame and the support flange, the greater the torque that can be borne by the planetary carrier as a whole, and the better the rigidity of the whole.
[0018] In a possible implementation, the number of the first threaded holes is three, the three first threaded holes are arranged on the side of the center connecting shaft facing the support flange and extend along the axial direction of the center connecting shaft, and the three first threaded holes are arranged along the circumferential direction of the center connecting shaft.
[0019] In the implementation process, by arranging three first threaded holes on the center connecting shaft and arranging the three first threaded holes along the circumferential direction of the center connecting shaft, the stability of the connection can be ensured after the first fastener passes through the center through hole and the first threaded hole to connect the output frame with the support flange, and the center connecting shaft is uniformly stressed during the operation of the RV speed reducer, and is not prone to damage, thereby prolonging the service life of the RV speed reducer.
[0020] In a possible implementation, a center oil passage is arranged on the center connecting shaft, the center oil passage extends along the axial direction of the center connecting shaft and penetrates the output frame.
[0021] In the implementation process, the center oil passage is arranged on the center connecting shaft and penetrates the output frame, lubricating substances such as lubricating oil or grease are injected into the center oil passage from the side of the center oil passage away from the support flange, and the lubricating substances such as lubricating oil or grease flow to the support flange along the center oil passage, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the input gear and the planetary gear during rotation.
[0022] In a possible implementation, at least one lateral oil passage is further arranged on the center connecting shaft, the lateral oil passage is arranged on the side wall of the center connecting shaft and extends along the radial direction of the center connecting shaft, and the lateral oil passage is in communication with the center oil passage.
[0023] In the implementation process, at least one lateral oil passage hole is further formed in the center connecting shaft, the lateral oil passage hole is perpendicular to the center oil passage hole and communicates with the center oil passage hole, specifically, when the output frame is connected with the support flange through the center connecting shaft and the circumferential connecting shaft after the center connecting shaft sequentially passes through the center connecting holes of the upper and lower cycloid wheels, the lateral oil passage hole is located adjacent to the upper and lower cycloid wheels, that is, located at the abutting position of the center connecting hole of the upper cycloid wheel and the center connecting hole of the lower cycloid wheel, one end of the lateral oil passage hole communicates with the center oil passage hole, and the other end faces the adjacent position of the upper and lower cycloid wheels, so that part of the lubricating oil or grease in the center oil passage hole can flow to the lateral oil passage hole and then flow to the upper and lower cycloid wheels from the lateral oil passage hole, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the upper and lower cycloid wheels during rotation.
[0024] It should be noted that the number of lateral oil passage holes can be one or multiple, and when the lateral oil passage holes are multiple, the multiple lateral oil passage holes are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the side wall of the center connecting shaft.

[0040] The RV speed reduction device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided with the central connecting shaft 4 and the circumferential connecting shaft 5 on the output frame 2, so that the output frame 2 and the support flange 3 are connected through the central connecting shaft 4 and the circumferential connecting shaft 5. During the operation of the RV speed reduction device 100, that is, when the primary speed reduction mechanism and the secondary speed reduction mechanism rotate under the condition of bearing load, the central connecting shaft 4 and the circumferential connecting shaft 5 share the load borne by the RV speed reduction device 100 together. In the prior art, the output structure, that is, the output frame is provided with only the circumferential connecting shaft, and the output frame and the support flange are connected only through the circumferential connecting shaft, and a central hole is formed in the middle of the output frame for the lubricating material to pass through. Under the condition of bearing load, the RV speed reduction device in the prior art bears the load only through the circumferential connecting shaft of the output frame. Therefore, compared with the RV speed reduction device in the prior art, the load bearing capacity of the output frame 2 of the RV speed reduction device 100 provided by the present application is enhanced.
[0041] Meanwhile, the RV speed reduction device 100 provided by the application is characterized in that the output frame 2 and the support flange 3 are connected through the central connecting shaft 4 and the circumferential connecting shaft 5, and the central connecting shaft 4 and the circumferential connecting shaft 5 together share the load borne by the RV speed reduction device 100. Compared with the prior art in which only the circumferential connecting shaft bears the load, in the case where the RV speed reduction device 100 bears the same load, the circumferential connecting shaft 5 of the output frame 2 of the RV speed reduction device 100 provided by the application bears a smaller load than the circumferential connecting shaft of the output frame of the prior art, so that the size of the circumferential connecting shaft 5 can be appropriately reduced, i.e., the diameter of the circumferential connecting shaft 5 can be appropriately reduced. When the diameter of the circumferential connecting shaft 5 is appropriately reduced, the design theoretical value of the diameter of the circumferential connecting hole through which the circumferential connecting shaft 5 passes on the upper and lower cycloid wheels 12 and 13 can be appropriately reduced, so that the spacing between the circumferential connecting holes on the upper and lower cycloid wheels 12 and 13 is increased, i.e., the wall thickness between the circumferential connecting holes is increased, and the wall thickness between the circumferential connecting holes and the central connecting hole is also increased, so that the overall rigidity of the upper and lower cycloid wheels 12 and 13 is increased and deformation is less likely to occur. It should be noted that the circumferential connecting shaft 5 of the output frame 2 passes through the circumferential connecting holes on the upper and lower cycloid wheels 12 and 13, and the outer wall of the circumferential connecting shaft 5 does not contact the inner wall of the circumferential connecting hole, so that, in the case where the diameter of the circumferential connecting hole is unchanged, when the diameter of the circumferential connecting shaft 5 is appropriately reduced, the clearance of the through hole, i.e., the spacing between the outer wall of the circumferential connecting shaft 5 and the inner wall of the circumferential connecting hole when the circumferential connecting shaft 5 passes through the circumferential connecting hole on the upper and lower cycloid wheels 12 and 13, is increased. Generally, in order to increase the load bearing capacity of the output frame 2, the diameter of the circumferential connecting shaft 5 needs to be as large as possible, and in order to increase the rigidity of the upper and lower cycloid wheels 12 and 13, the diameter of the circumferential connecting hole needs to be as small as possible, so that the clearance of the through hole between the circumferential connecting shaft 5 and the circumferential connecting hole is very small, and the upper and lower cycloid wheels 12 and 13 perform eccentric motion during the operation of the RV speed reduction device 100, so that the clearance of the through hole is further reduced. In order to reduce the machining cost, the two are usually non-machined surfaces, i.e., blank surfaces, so that the dimensional tolerance is large. If the design size of the circumferential connecting shaft 5 and the circumferential connecting hole is not controlled well, the two may interfere with each other. When the clearance of the through hole is increased, the machining tolerance range is increased, so that the machining precision is reduced and the machining cost is also reduced.
[0042] In addition, the output frame of the prior art has a central hole in the middle, which sacrifices the rigidity of the output frame, while the output frame 2 of the RV speed reduction device 100 of the present application does not have a central hole in the middle, but is provided with a central connecting shaft 4, so that the rigidity of the output frame 2 of the RV speed reduction device 100 is greater, and the torsional stiffness is also greater. When the RV speed reduction device 100 is under load, it not only bears torque but also bending moment. The central hole of the output frame of the prior art is empty when a large bending moment is applied, and the deformation is also large. However, the output frame 2 of the present application has a central connecting shaft 4 in the middle, which provides support for the middle of the output frame 2, and the overall rigidity is also improved. Meanwhile, the central connecting shaft 4 is provided with a first threaded hole 401, the first fastener 6 passes through the central through hole 301 on the support flange 3 and the first threaded hole 401 on the central connecting shaft 4, and a frictional force is generated between the first fastener 6 and the central through hole 301 and the first threaded hole 401, so that the RV speed reduction device 100 can transmit greater torque, and the overall resistance to torsional deformation is increased, that is, the torsional stiffness is increased.
[0043] In a possible implementation, the second fastener 7 is a bolt; the carrier further comprises a bolt connecting sleeve 14, the bolt connecting sleeve 14 is at least partially embedded in the second threaded hole 501, and the second fastener 7 passes through the circumferential through hole 302, the bolt connecting sleeve 14 and the second threaded hole 501 to connect the output frame 2 and the support flange 3.
[0044] In the above implementation process, the bolt connecting sleeve 14 is arranged in the second threaded hole 501. Specifically, the bolt connecting sleeve 14 is coaxially arranged with the second threaded hole 501, and a part of the bolt connecting sleeve 14 is embedded in the second threaded hole 501, and another part is embedded in the circumferential through hole 302 in abutment communication with the second threaded hole 501. The second fastener 7 is a bolt, which passes through the circumferential through hole 302, the bolt connecting sleeve 14 and the second threaded hole 501 to connect the output frame 2 and the support flange 3. By arranging the bolt connecting sleeve 14, the second fastener 7 is not easy to fail when facing a large impact load, thereby enhancing the impact resistance of the RV speed reduction device 100. When the RV speed reduction device 100 is subjected to external impact during operation, a large torque will be applied to the RV speed reduction device 100. At this time, a large shear force will be generated on the second fastener 7 at the connecting surface between the output frame 2 and the support flange 3. The addition of the bolt connecting sleeve 14 can increase the shear resistance of the second fastener 7, and the second fastener 7 is not easy to fail when facing a large impact load.
[0045] In a possible implementation, the bolt connecting sleeve 14 is cylindrical or conical, the second threaded hole 501 is in communication with the circumferential through hole 302, and defines a connecting sleeve hole matched with the bolt connecting sleeve 14.
[0046] In the implementation process, the bolt connecting sleeve 14 can be cylindrical, conical or frustoconical, and the second threaded hole 501 is in abutting communication with the circumferential through hole 302 and defines a sleeve hole adapted to the bolt connecting sleeve 14. In other words, the inner wall surface of the second threaded hole 501 cooperates with the inner wall surface of the circumferential through hole 302 to define a connecting surface adapted to the outer wall surface of the bolt connecting sleeve 14, so that the outer wall surface of the bolt connecting sleeve 14 abuts against the inner wall surface of the second threaded hole 501 and the inner wall surface of the circumferential through hole 302. Of course, after the second threaded hole 501 is in abutting communication with the circumferential through hole 302, the bolt connecting sleeve 14 can also be selected according to the specific structure of the connecting surface defined by the inner wall surface of the second threaded hole 501 and the inner wall surface of the circumferential through hole 302.
[0047] As shown in Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the second fastener 7 is a stepped bolt, and the second threaded hole 501 is in communication with the circumferential through hole 302 and defines a stepped hole adapted to the stepped bolt.
[0048] In the implementation process, the second fastener 7 can be a stepped bolt, which includes a bolt head 701 and a stepped bolt rod. The stepped bolt rod includes a first stepped rod 702 and a second stepped rod 703 connected to the first stepped rod 702. The first stepped rod 702 and the second stepped rod 703 are coaxially arranged, and the diameter of the first stepped rod 702 is greater than the diameter of the second stepped rod 703. The bolt head 701 is coaxially arranged and connected with the first stepped rod 702, and the diameter of the bolt head 701 is greater than the diameter of the first stepped rod 702. Correspondingly, the second threaded hole 501 is in abutting communication with the circumferential through hole 302 after abutting against each other. The second threaded hole 501 and the circumferential through hole 302 define a stepped hole for the stepped bolt to pass through. Specifically, the second threaded hole 501 includes a first step hole 5011 and a second step hole 5012 coaxially arranged and in communication with the first step hole 5011. The diameter of the first step hole 5011 is adapted to the diameter of the first stepped rod 702 of the stepped bolt, and the diameter of the second step hole 5012 is adapted to the diameter of the second stepped rod 703 of the stepped bolt. The depth of the second step hole 5012 is equal to the length of the second stepped rod 703. The circumferential through hole 302 includes a bolt head hole 3021 and a connecting hole 3022 coaxially arranged and in communication with the bolt head hole 3021. The diameter and length of the bolt head hole 3021 are adapted to the diameter and length of the bolt head 701 of the stepped bolt. The connecting hole 3022 is in abutting communication with the first step hole 5011, and the diameter of the connecting hole 3022 is the same as that of the first step hole 5011. The sum of the length of the connecting hole 3022 and the length of the first step hole 5011 is equal to the length of the first stepped rod 702. The first step hole 5011, the second step hole 5012, the connecting hole 3022 and the bolt head hole 3021 together form a stepped hole, and the stepped bolt is embedded in the stepped hole to connect the output frame 2 and the support flange 3.
[0049] As Figure 5 shown in a possible implementation, the support flange 3 is provided with a fixed hole 304 matched with the center connecting shaft 4, the diameter of the center connecting shaft 4 is larger than that of the fixed hole 304, the outer side wall of the center connecting shaft 4 is tightly connected with the inner side wall of the fixed hole 304, and the first fastener 6 passes through the center through hole 301 and the first threaded hole 401 on the center connecting shaft 4 to connect the output frame 2 with the support flange 3.
[0050] In the above implementation process, the diameter of the center connecting shaft 4 is larger than that of the fixed hole 304, the outer side wall of the center connecting shaft 4 is tightly connected with the inner side wall of the fixed hole 304, and the first fastener 6 passes through the center through hole 301 and the first threaded hole 401 on the center connecting shaft 4 to connect the output frame 2 with the support flange 3, thereby enhancing the rigidity of the planetary carrier. The center connecting shaft 4 and the fixed hole 304 are in interference fit, so that the output frame 2 and the support flange 3 can be connected more tightly. The more tightly the output frame 2 and the support flange 3 are connected, the greater the torque that the planetary carrier as a whole can withstand, and the better the rigidity of the whole.
[0051] As Figure 3 shown in a possible implementation, the number of the first threaded holes 401 is three, the three first threaded holes 401 are arranged on the side of the center connecting shaft 4 facing the support flange 3 and extend along the axial direction of the center connecting shaft 4, and the three first threaded holes 401 are arranged along the circumference of the center connecting shaft 4.
[0052] In the above implementation process, by arranging three first threaded holes 401 on the center connecting shaft 4 and arranging the three first threaded holes 401 along the circumference of the center connecting shaft 4, the stability of the connection can be ensured after the first fastener 6 passes through the center through hole 301 and the first threaded hole 401 to connect the output frame 2 with the support flange 3, and the center connecting shaft 4 is evenly stressed during the operation of the RV speed reducer 100, so that damage is less likely to occur, thereby prolonging the service life of the RV speed reducer 100.
[0053] As Figure 2 shown in a possible implementation, the center connecting shaft 4 is provided with a center oil passage 402, the center oil passage 402 extends along the axial direction of the center connecting shaft 4 and penetrates the output frame 2.
[0054] In the implementation process, a central oil passage hole 402 is formed on the central connecting shaft 4 and penetrates the output frame 2. Lubricating substances such as lubricating oil or grease are poured into the central oil passage hole 402 from the side of the central oil passage hole 402 away from the support flange 3, and the lubricating substances flow along the central oil passage hole 402 to the support flange 3, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the input gear 9 and the planetary gear 10 during rotation.
[0055] In a possible implementation, at least one lateral oil passage hole 403 is further formed on the central connecting shaft 4. The lateral oil passage hole 403 is arranged on the side wall of the central connecting shaft 4 and extends along the radial direction of the central connecting shaft 4. The lateral oil passage hole 403 is in communication with the central oil passage hole 402.
[0056] In the implementation process, at least one lateral oil passage hole 403 is further formed on the central connecting shaft 4. The lateral oil passage hole 403 is perpendicular to the central oil passage hole 402 and is in communication with the central oil passage hole 402. Specifically, when the output frame 2 and the support flange 3 are connected by the central connecting shaft 4 and the circumferential connecting shaft 5 after the central connecting shaft 4 sequentially passes through the central connecting hole of the upper trochoid wheel 12 and the central connecting hole of the lower trochoid wheel 13, the lateral oil passage hole 403 is located adjacent to the upper trochoid wheel 12 and the lower trochoid wheel 13, that is, at the abutting position of the central connecting hole of the upper trochoid wheel 12 and the central connecting hole of the lower trochoid wheel 13. One end of the lateral oil passage hole 403 is in communication with the central oil passage hole 402, and the other end faces the adjacent position of the upper trochoid wheel 12 and the lower trochoid wheel 13. In this way, part of the lubricating substances in the central oil passage hole 402 can flow to the lateral oil passage hole 403 and then flow to the upper trochoid wheel 12 and the lower trochoid wheel 13 from the lateral oil passage hole 403, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the upper trochoid wheel 12 and the lower trochoid wheel 13 during rotation.
[0057] It should be noted that the number of lateral oil passage holes 403 can be one or more. When the lateral oil passage holes 403 are multiple, the multiple lateral oil passage holes 403 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the side wall of the central connecting shaft 4.
[0058] In a possible implementation, at least one circumferential oil passage hole 404 is formed on the output frame 2. The circumferential oil passage hole 404 extends along the axial direction of the output frame 2 and penetrates the output frame 2.
[0059] In the implementation process, the circumferential oil passage 404 is arranged on the output frame 2, specifically, the circumferential oil passage 404 is arranged on the side of the center connecting shaft 4 and extends along the circumferential direction of the output frame 2 and penetrates the output frame 2, when the center connecting shaft 4 penetrates the center connecting hole of the upper trochoid wheel 12 and the center connecting hole of the lower trochoid wheel 13 in sequence and connects the output frame 2 and the support flange 3 through the center connecting shaft 4 and the circumferential connecting shaft 5, at this time, one end of the circumferential oil passage 404 on the side of the center connecting shaft 4 faces the end surface of the lower trochoid wheel 13, and the lubricating material such as lubricating oil or grease is poured into the circumferential oil passage 404 from the side of the circumferential oil passage 404 away from the support flange 3, and the lubricating material such as lubricating oil or grease flows to the end surface of the lower trochoid wheel 13 along the circumferential oil passage 404, thereby further improving the smoothness of the upper trochoid wheel 12 and the lower trochoid wheel 13 during rotation.
