Specific embodiments

[0032] The present invention will be described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0033] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, a motor assembly applied to mechanical massage of vehicle seats includes a driving motor 1, a reducing gearbox 2, and a power output part 3. The reducing gearbox 2 includes a housing 21 and a cover 22 screwed and fastened to the housing 21. An accommodation cavity 23 is formed between the housing 21 and the cover 22, and a reduction component 24 is embedded in the accommodation cavity 23.

[0034] Among them, the outer shell of the driving motor 1 is screwed and fastened to the housing 21, and the power output shaft 11 of the driving motor 1 extends into the accommodation cavity 23.

[0035] Furthermore, as Figures 2 to 6 shown, the reduction component 24 includes a first worm 241, a first worm gear 242, a second worm 243, a second worm gear 244, a third worm 245, and a third worm gear 246. The first worm 241 is fixedly sleeved on the power output shaft 11 of the driving motor 1.

[0036] Specifically, as Figures 2 to 6 shown, the third worm 245 is arranged in parallel and spaced from the power output shaft 11 of the driving motor 1. The first worm gear 242 and the second worm 243 are rotatably mounted on the housing 21 through a core shaft 247. The first worm gear 242 and the second worm 243 are coaxially arranged and rotate synchronously. The core shaft 247 is perpendicular to both the power output shaft 11 of the driving motor 1 and the third worm 245. The first worm 241 meshes with the first worm gear 242; the second worm gear 244 is fixedly sleeved on the third worm 245, and the second worm 243 meshes with the second worm gear 244.

[0037] Further, a third worm gear 246 is disposed on the power output member 3. A third worm 245 meshes with the third worm gear 246. The power output shaft 11 of the drive motor 1 and the power output member 3 are located on the same side of the third worm 245.

[0038] It should be explained that the drive motor 1 is a brushless motor; the brushless motor can achieve a constant torque output, and thus the massage force can be more stable during massage.

[0039] It should be pointed out that the speed reduction assembly 24 of the first embodiment realizes speed reduction transmission through a first worm gear pair composed of a first worm 241 and a first worm gear 242, a second worm gear pair composed of a second worm 243 and a second worm gear 244, and a third worm gear pair composed of a third worm 245 and a third worm gear 246. The above triple worm gear pair combination structure can effectively improve the output torque of the drive motor 1. Moreover, since each worm gear pair has a self-locking ability respectively, the above triple worm gear pair combination structure can achieve a triple self-locking function, that is, the motor assembly applied to the mechanical massage of the car seat in the first embodiment has a very high self-locking force. The above triple self-locking structure can effectively keep the massage head at the required massage pressure position under the action of external force, and the massage head will not reverse and shift under the action of a large external pressure, and the stability and reliability are good.

[0040] It should be further pointed out that the core shaft 247 of the first embodiment is perpendicular to the power output shaft 11 of the drive motor 1 and the third worm 245 respectively, and the power output shaft 11 of the drive motor 1 and the power output member 3 are located on the same side of the third worm 245. The above structural design has a good compactness, a small volume and can effectively reduce the overall occupied space.

[0041] Based on the above situation, through the above structural design, the motor assembly applied to the mechanical massage of the car seat in the first embodiment has the advantages of novel structural design, good stability and reliability, and strong self-locking ability.

[0042] Embodiment 2, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that a rotating member 248 is embedded in the accommodation cavity 23, and the rotating member 248 is rotatably mounted on the box body 21 through the core shaft 247.

[0043] Wherein, the first worm gear 242 is disposed at one end of the rotating member 248, the second worm 243 is disposed at the other end of the rotating member 248, and the first worm gear 242 and the second worm 243 are of an integral structure.

[0044] In the second embodiment, the first worm wheel 242 and the second worm 243 are of an integral structure. This integral structure design can effectively ensure the accuracy of the synchronous rotation action of the first worm wheel 242 and the second worm 243, and can also improve the convenience of assembly.

[0045] Embodiment 3, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown. The difference between the third embodiment and the second embodiment is that both ends of the core shaft 247 are circumferentially limited between the box body 21 and the box cover 22; the box body 21 is respectively provided with first card slots 211 on two axial end sides of the core shaft 247, and first wear-resistant pads 41 are respectively installed in the first card slots 211 in an embedded manner, and the end faces of both ends of the core shaft 247 are respectively in contact with the first wear-resistant pads on the corresponding sides.

[0046] It should be explained that the first wear-resistant pads in the third embodiment can be wear-resistant sheets made of high-strength carbon tool steel. The two first wear-resistant pads axially limit the core shaft 247. The reliability of this structural design is higher than that of the ball bearing 53 structure, and the service life is longer.

[0047] Embodiment 4, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown. The difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the box body 21 is provided with an inner wall mounting hole 212 on the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 23 and opening towards the power output shaft 11 side of the driving motor 1.

[0048] Among them, an elastic buffer pad 51, an output shaft wear-resistant pad 52 and a bearing 53 are sequentially installed in the inner wall mounting hole 212. The end of the power output shaft 11 extends into the inner wall mounting hole 212, and the end of the power output shaft 11 is rotationally installed on the box body 21 through the bearing 53. The elastic buffer pad 51 is in pressing contact with the end face of the power output shaft 11 through the output shaft wear-resistant pad 52.

[0049] It should be noted that due to the elastic force of the elastic buffer pad 51, the end face of the power output shaft 11 of the driving motor 1 is in pressing contact with the output shaft wear-resistant pad 52. The power output shaft 11 supporting structure composed of the elastic buffer pad 51, the output shaft wear-resistant pad 52 and the bearing 53 can effectively reduce the axial play of the power output shaft 11 of the driving motor 1, and thus improve the stability of the driving motor 1 during operation.

[0050] Embodiment 5, as Figures 2 to 4 shown. The difference between the fifth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the box body 21 is provided with a second card slot 213 on one end side of the third worm 245, a second wear-resistant pad 42 is installed in the second card slot 213 in an embedded manner, and the end face on the corresponding side of the third worm 245 is in contact with the second wear-resistant pad.

[0051] Wherein, an internally threaded hole 214 which is open outward and communicates with the accommodation cavity 23 is formed in the other end side of the box body 21 for the third worm 245, and an internal thread adjusting setscrew 61 is screwed in the internally threaded hole 214; a positioning hole 611 is formed in the inner end surface of the internal thread adjusting setscrew 61, and an axial wear-resistant pad 62 is positioned and installed in the positioning hole 611 of the internal thread adjusting setscrew 61, and the axial wear-resistant pad 62 is in contact with the end surface of the corresponding side of the third worm 245.

[0052] During operation, by rotating the internal thread adjusting setscrew 61, the internal thread adjusting setscrew 61 can axially move relative to the third worm 245, so that the internal thread adjusting setscrew 61 and the axial wear-resistant pad 62 move along the axis of the third worm 245, so as to ensure that the axial wear-resistant pad 62 keeps pressing contact with the end surface of the third worm 245.

[0053] When the third worm 245 has axial looseness, the user can rotate the internal thread adjusting setscrew 61 to make the axial wear-resistant pad 62 keep pressing contact with the end surface of the third worm 245, so that the axial impact resistance of the product can be effectively improved.

[0054] Embodiment Six, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the difference between this Embodiment Six and Embodiment One is that: the power output member 3 includes a rod sleeve portion 31, the third worm gear 246 is arranged on the periphery of the rod sleeve portion 31, and the rod sleeve portion 31 and the third worm gear 246 are of an integral structure.

[0055] Wherein, an axially penetrating sleeve hole 32 is formed in the core of the rod sleeve portion 31, the box body 21 is provided with a box body through hole 215 axially aligned with the sleeve hole 32 of the rod sleeve portion 31, the box cover 22 is provided with a box cover through hole 221 axially aligned with the sleeve hole 32 of the rod sleeve portion 31, one end of the rod sleeve portion 31 is inserted into the box body through hole 215, and the other end of the rod sleeve portion 31 is inserted into the box cover through hole 221.

[0056] The above content is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation manner and application scope. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
