[0031] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a motor with multiple installation modes, which includes: a motor body 1 for outputting power; a housing 11 provided on the motor body 1, the housing 11 being a split design for easy disassembly and adjustment of the motor body 1; a support frame 2 provided on the motor body 1 for supporting the motor body 1; a first adjustment unit 3 provided on the support frame 2 for driving the motor body 1 to swing back and forth; a second adjustment unit 4 provided on the support frame 2 for driving the motor body 1 to rotate, which, together with the first adjustment unit 3, enables flexible adjustment of the output direction of the motor body 1; and a mounting base 5 provided on the support frame 2 for installing the motor body 1. The motor body 1 is provided with multiple installation modes through the cooperation of the first adjustment unit 3 and the second adjustment unit 4.

[0033] The first adjustment unit 3 includes a first adjustment component 31 disposed on the support frame 2, used to drive the motor body 1 to swing back and forth and adjust the tilt of the motor body 1; a locking component 32 disposed on the support frame 2, used to release and lock the adjustment of the first adjustment component 31 to fix the adjustment angle of the motor body 1; and a support wheel 33 disposed on the support frame 2 to provide support.

[0034] The second adjustment unit 4 includes a snap-fit ​​assembly 41 disposed on the support frame 2, a fixed gear plate 42 disposed on the support frame 2, the fixed gear plate 42 being used to cooperate with the snap-fit ​​assembly 41 to lock and release the position of the support frame 2, thereby adjusting the rotation of the motor body 1, the upper part of the fixed gear plate 42 being rotatably connected to the bottom of the support frame 2, the bottom of the fixed gear plate 42 being fixedly connected to the mounting base 5, and a movable assembly 43 disposed on the snap-fit ​​assembly 41 for controlling the snap-fit ​​assembly 41 to move up and down.

[0035] In summary, firstly, the motor body 1 is installed onto the equipment via the mounting base 5. Then, the outer casing 11 is removed. At this point, the locking component 32 releases the lock on the first adjustment component 31. The first adjustment component 31 is then adjusted to control the motor body 1 to swing and tilt to the required angle. The locking component 32 then locks the first adjustment component 31 in its current state. The movable component 43 is then adjusted to move the locking component 41 upward, disengaging it from the fixed gear plate 42. The support frame 2 is then rotated to rotate the motor body 1 to the target direction. The movable component 43 then controls the locking component 41 to descend and re-engage with the fixed gear plate 42, fixing the position of the support frame 2 and thus fixing the position of the motor body 1. Finally, the outer casing 11 is installed.

[0036] Example 2, refer to Figures 1-8 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the previous embodiment in that the motor body 1 is adjusted to swing back and forth. Compared with embodiment 1, the first adjustment component 31 further includes: a rotating gear 311 rotatably mounted on the support frame 2 for rotating; a follower gear 312 rotatably mounted on the support frame 2 and meshing with the rotating gear 311 for rotating in coordination with the rotation of the rotating gear 311; and a rotating shaft 313 mounted on the rotating gear 311 for controlling the rotation of the rotating gear 311.

[0037] Two sets of follower gears 312 are provided on the support frame 2. The other set of follower gears 312 is meshed with the support wheel 33. In this way, the support wheel 33, together with the rotating gear 311, supports the follower gear 312 without affecting the rotation adjustment of the follower gear 312 by the rotating gear 311. The follower gear 312 is fixedly installed on the motor body 1. When the rotating gear 311 adjusts the rotation of the follower gear 312, it drives the motor body 1 to rotate, causing the motor body 1 to deflect and swing.

[0038] The locking assembly 32 includes a locking block 321 mounted on the support frame 2, which engages with the teeth of the follower gear 312 to control the rotation of the follower gear 312 and thus fix the adjustment angle of the motor body 1; a connecting shaft 322 mounted on the locking block 321 for connecting the locking block 321; a limiting block 323 mounted on the connecting shaft 322 for limiting the movement of the locking block 321 in conjunction with the connecting shaft 322; and a knob 324 mounted on the connecting shaft 322 for rotating to control the back-and-forth movement of the connecting shaft 322 through the limiting block 323, thereby connecting the locking block 321 and the follower gear 312.

[0039] A connecting ball 3221 is provided on the connecting shaft 322, and a spiral groove 3241 that matches the connecting ball 3221 is provided on the knob 324. When the knob 324 rotates, it squeezes the connecting ball 3221 through the spiral groove 3241, thereby generating a pushing and pulling force on the connecting shaft 322. In conjunction with the limiting block 323, it drives the locking block 321 to move back and forth, thereby realizing the engagement of the locking block 321 and the follower gear 312.

[0040] In this design, the cross-sectional area of ​​the follower gear 312 gradually decreases towards the support frame 2. The locking block 321 fits against and meshes with the tooth surface of the follower gear 312. This makes the tooth surface of the follower gear 312 inclined. By fitting the locking block 321 against the tooth surface of the follower gear 312, the locking block 321 and the follower gear 312 are in full contact, ensuring the locking strength. At the same time, the locking block 321 only needs to move a small distance to disengage from the follower gear 312. The reduced travel of the locking block 321 makes locking and releasing the follower gear 312 faster and more convenient.

[0041] The motor body 1 is provided with a telescopic groove 21, a limiting groove 22, and a rotating groove 23 that respectively cooperate with the locking block 321, the limiting block 323, and the knob 324. The telescopic groove 21 is used to accommodate the locking block 321, the limiting groove 22 is used to cooperate with the limiting block 323 to play a limiting role, and the rotating groove 23 is used to make the knob 324 rotate on the support frame 2.

[0042] The telescopic groove 21, the limiting groove 22, and the rotating groove 23 are interconnected.

[0043] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 1.

[0044] In summary, after the motor is installed in the designated position via mounting base 5, rotating knob 324 causes the spiral groove 3241 to rotate. The rotation of the spiral groove 3241 compresses the connecting ball 3221. Under the limiting action of limit block 323 and limit groove 22, the connecting shaft 322 drives the locking block 321 to retract into the telescopic groove 21 via the connecting ball 3221. At this time, rotating shaft 313 drives rotating gear 311 to rotate. The rotating gear 311 drives follower gear 312. The motor body 1 rotates with follower gear 312, and the output angle tilts until the motor body 1 is adjusted to a suitable angle. Then, rotating knob 324 pushes the locking block 321 outward and re-engages it with follower gear 312. At this time, rotating gear 311 cannot be rotated. With the support of rotating gear 311 and support wheel 33, locking block 321 locks the position of follower gear 312.

[0045] Example 3, referring to Figures 1-11 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the motor body 1 rotates vertically. Compared to embodiment 1, the snap-fit ​​assembly 41 further includes a first snap-fit ​​block 411 disposed on the support frame 2, a second snap-fit ​​block 412 disposed on the support frame 2, used to engage with the first snap-fit ​​block 411 on the fixed gear plate 42 to fix the position of the support frame 2, and a connecting rod 413 disposed on the first snap-fit ​​block 411 and the second snap-fit ​​block 412 to connect the first snap-fit ​​block 411 and the second snap-fit ​​block 412.

[0046] The first latching block 411 and the second latching block 412 are disposed on the support frame 2.

[0047] The first snap-fit ​​block 411 and the second snap-fit ​​block 412 are both provided with snap-fit ​​grooves 6 that snap-fit ​​with the fixed gear plate 42. When the snap-fit ​​grooves 6 engage with the fixed gear plate 42, the position of the support frame 2 can be fixed by the first snap-fit ​​block 411 and the second snap-fit ​​block 412.

[0048] The first card block 411 is provided with a first movable groove 7 that cooperates with the movable component 43, so that the movement of the first card block 411 up and down does not affect the movement of the rotating pin 431.

[0049] The second locking block 412 is provided with a second movable groove 8 that cooperates with the rotating shaft 313, so that the movement of the second locking block 412 up and down does not affect the movement of the movable component 43.

[0050] The movable component 43 includes a rotating pin 431 disposed on the first latching block 411, a pin shaft 432 disposed on the rotating pin 431, and an adjusting gear 433 disposed on the pin shaft 432. The adjusting gear 433 is rotatably disposed on the support frame 2. The rotating pin 431 is used to rotate and drive the pin shaft 432 to rotate, and the pin shaft 432 drives the adjusting gear 433 to rotate.

[0051] The pin 432 has a polygonal shape, and the cross-sectional area at the end of the pin 432 gradually decreases, which facilitates insertion and removal.

[0052] The adjusting gear 433 is provided with a socket 4331 for engaging the pin 432, so that the pin 432 can drive the adjusting gear 433 to rotate.

[0053] The inner wall of the first movable groove 7 is provided with a toothed groove 71 that matches the adjusting gear 433. When the adjusting gear 433 rotates, the first locking block 411 moves up and down under the action of the toothed groove 71. At this time, the second locking block 412 moves up and down synchronously through the connecting rod 413, controlling the engagement with the fixed gear plate 42.

[0054] The support frame 2 is provided with a locking groove 24 and a release groove 25 that cooperate with the pin 432. When the pin 432 is engaged with the release groove 25, the pin 432 cannot rotate, so the adjusting gear 433 cannot rotate, and the position of the entire locking assembly 41 is locked. When the pin 432 leaves the release groove 25 and moves towards the locking groove 24, the pin 432 is disengaged from the release groove 25. At this time, the rotating pin 431 can be rotated to drive the pin 432 to rotate, thereby driving the adjusting gear 433 to rotate, thereby controlling the up and down movement of the entire locking assembly 41.

[0055] The locking groove 24 extends through the outer wall of the support frame 2 to the outside, and the minimum cross-section of the locking groove 24 is greater than the maximum cross-section of the release groove 25.

[0056] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 2.

[0057] In summary, after the first adjusting component 31 adjusts the angle of the motor body 1, the rotating pin 431 is pulled outward, causing the pin shaft 432 to leave the release groove 25. Rotating the rotating pin 431 then causes the pin shaft 432 to rotate, which in turn causes the adjusting gear 433 to rotate. At this point, the locking component 41 moves upward through the rotation of 433, causing the tooth groove 71 to leave the fixed gear plate 42. The motor body 1 can then rotate on the fixed gear plate 42 via the support frame 2, allowing the orientation of the motor body 1 to be adjusted. After reaching the target position, the transmission rotating pin 431, through the action of the adjusting gear 433 and the tooth groove 71, drives the entire locking assembly 41 to move downward, so that the tooth groove 71 re-engages with the fixed toothed disc 42. At this time, the support frame 2 cannot rotate. Then, the pin 432 is reinserted into the release groove 25. When the end of the pin 432 re-engages with the release groove 25, the rotating pin 431 cannot be rotated. At this time, the position of the adjusting gear 433 is fixed, and the position of the entire locking assembly 41 is locked by adjusting the gear 433. At this time, the installation and adjustment of the motor are completed.
