[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of this invention patent clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] The planetary gear transmission device 1 can be a single-stage planetary gear transmission structure or a multi-stage planetary gear transmission structure, which has the function of speed reduction and torque increase, and the transmission power is output from the planet carrier. Figure 2 As shown, the planetary gear transmission device 1 includes a gear ring 101, an input stage sun gear 102, and an output stage planet carrier 103; the input stage sun gear 102 and the output stage planet carrier 103 are rotatable relative to the gear ring 101; the output stage planet carrier 103 is provided with planet carrier key teeth 1031, which are connected to the key teeth in the inner circular hole of the first web plate 31 of the drum so that the output stage planet carrier 103 can drive the drum to rotate; the output stage planet carrier 103 and the drum 3 are axially fixed together by a locking nut 9, which presses the output stage planet carrier 103 against the first web plate 31 of the drum 3 along the axial direction; the inner and outer rings of the second bearing 8 are respectively in contact with the outer circle of the planetary gear transmission device 1 (outer circumference of the gear ring 101) and the inner hole of the drum 3 to radially fix the planetary gear transmission device 1 and the drum 3.

[0025] The electromagnetic brake device 2 has a power-off braking function, is arranged in the planetary gear transmission device 1, and is provided with an isolation seal between the electromagnetic brake device 2 and the planetary gear transmission device 1, so that the lubricating and cooling medium such as gear oil cannot enter the electromagnetic brake device 2, and the braking capacity is improved. The electromagnetic brake device 2 comprises a coil seat 201, a conductive coil 204, a brake shell 206, an armature 203, a connecting shaft 202, a spring 205, and a friction plate group 207. The coil seat 201 generates magnetism when the conductive coil 204 is electrified, and the magnetism disappears when the power is lost. The spring 205 can be a spiral spring or a butterfly spring. The friction plate group 207 can be composed of a single set of static friction plate 2071 and dynamic friction plate 2072, or a plurality of sets of static friction plate 2071 and dynamic friction plate 2072. The case adopts a spiral spring and a plurality of friction plate structure, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The coil seat 201 is provided with an annular groove 2013 and a plurality of counterbores 2012. The conductive coil 204 is arranged in the annular groove 2013. The coil lead interfaces 2041 of the conductive coil 204 pass through the coil seat through hole 2014 and the ring gear through hole 1012 to be connected with the external power source. The spring 205 is arranged in the counterbores 2012 of the coil seat 201 and is in a compressed state. The armature 203 is arranged between the coil seat 201 and the friction plate group 207 and is provided with an axial gap for movement. The outer circular surface of the static friction plate 2071 is provided with static friction plate key teeth, which are connected with the brake shell key teeth 2062 to be fixed. The inner circular surface of the dynamic friction plate 2072 is provided with dynamic friction plate key teeth, which are connected with the third key teeth 2023 of the connecting shaft 202 to apply the friction torque generated by the friction plate group 207 to the connecting shaft 202 for braking.

[0026] In combination with Figures 4-6 , the connecting shaft is further provided with a first key tooth 2021 and a second key tooth 2022. The first key tooth 2021 is connected with the external power source, and the second key tooth 2022 is connected with the input stage sun gear key tooth 1021 to transmit power. The inner and outer circular surfaces of the first bearing 208 and the rotary seal 209 are in contact with the brake shell 206 and the connecting shaft 202, respectively. The first bolt group 5 passes through the coil seat mounting hole 2011, the brake shell mounting hole 2061, and the ring gear mounting hole 1011 in sequence to fix the electromagnetic brake device 2 on the planetary gear transmission device 1. The static seal 210 is arranged between the contact surface of the electromagnetic brake device 2 and the planetary gear transmission device 1, that is, between the brake shell 206 and the ring gear 101. The static seal 210 and the rotary seal 209 can effectively prevent the lubricating and cooling medium such as gear oil from entering the electromagnetic brake device 2 to improve the braking capacity.

[0027] The connecting plate 4 mainly plays a role of fixing an external power source; the external power source can be a motor or a hydraulic motor, etc. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the second bolt group 6 fixes and connects the connecting plate 4 on the end surface of the planetary gear transmission device 1; the end surface of the connecting plate 4 is provided with a plurality of connecting plate mounting holes 41, through which the external power source is mounted and fixed on the connecting plate 4.

[0028] The support device 11 mainly plays a role of supporting the winding drum 3. As shown in the figure, Figure 1 The support device 11 is mainly composed of a support seat 1101, a support shaft 1102 and other components; the support shaft 1102 is mounted and fixed on the second web plate 32 of the winding drum through the fourth bolt group 10, and can rotate relative to the support seat 1101.

[0029] In combination with the working principle, when the winding reduction gear works, the electric coil 204 is electrified, so that the coil seat 201 generates a magnetic field, which overcomes the spring 205 elastic force and adsorbs the armature 203 to move away from the friction plate group 207, until the spring elastic force of the friction plate group 207 is zero, at this time the friction torque is close to zero, the electromagnetic brake 2 is released, the power source transmits power to the planetary gear transmission device 1 through the connecting shaft 202, and then drives the winding drum 3 to rotate after the reduction and torque increase, and realizes the lifting and lowering of the heavy object with the aid of the rope and other media; when stopping working, the electric coil 204 loses electricity, the coil seat 201 magnetic field disappears, the armature 203 moves to the friction plate group 207 under the action of the spring 205 elastic force, and the friction plate group 207 is pressed tightly, at this time the friction plate group 207 generates a friction torque, which can prevent the connecting shaft 202 from rotating, cut off the power transmission of the power source, and stop the winding reduction gear from working.

[0030] The above-mentioned is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be pointed out that, for the ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, can make a number of improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
