[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 5 This application is described in further detail.

[0031] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 A self-aligning planetary gear structure shown in the figure comprises: a gear frame 1, a central shaft 2 is arranged on one side of the gear frame 1, a sun gear 3 is coaxially arranged on the central shaft 2, a plurality of mounting grooves 11 are opened on the ring side of the central shaft 2 of the gear frame 1, and the extension direction of the mounting grooves 11 is from the ring side of the gear frame 1 to the central shaft 2; a plurality of mounting grooves 11 are all provided with movable shafts 4, the axial direction of the movable shafts 4 is consistent with the central shaft 2, and a plurality of movable shafts 4 are coaxially arranged with planetary gears 5; a plurality of planetary gears 5 are sleeved with gear rings 6, and the planetary gears 5 are meshed with the gear rings 6 and the sun gear 3, so that when installing, the sun gears 5 are installed. The wheel 3 is installed on the central shaft 2, and one end of multiple movable shafts 4 is installed in the corresponding installation grooves 11 respectively, and then the planetary gear 5 is installed on the movable shaft 4, and the position of the movable shaft 4 in the installation groove 11 is adjusted to make the planetary gear 5 mesh with the sun gear 3, and then the ring gear 6 is sleeved on the ring side of multiple ring gears 6. In this way, the assembly of the planetary gear structure is completed. Since the position of the movable shaft 4 in the installation groove 11 is adjustable, the cooperation between the planetary gear 5 and the sun gear 3 is ensured. Therefore, there is no need to accurately set the relative position of the movable shaft 4 and the central shaft 2 during the production process, which improves production efficiency and product yield.

[0032] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in order to prevent the planetary gear 5 from moving axially during use, a baffle 7 is provided at the suspension end of the multiple movable shafts 4, and a gasket 8 is provided on the side of the baffle 7 close to the planetary gear 5, so that the planetary gear 5 is limited by the baffle 7.

[0033] It is further optimized that in order to further improve the compactness of the planetary gear structure, the baffle 7 and the gear frame 1 are both arranged on the inner side of the ring gear 6. In this way, the baffle 7 and the ring side of the gear frame 1 are wrapped by the ring gear 6, making the planetary gear structure more compact, and the ring gear 6 also plays a role in protecting the internal structure.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in order to limit the movable shaft 4, a mounting seat 9 is provided on the side of the gear frame 1 away from the planetary gear 5, and one end of multiple movable shafts 4 are all abutted against the mounting seat 9. In this way, not only can the movable shaft 4 be limited, but also the mounting seat 9 can be used to facilitate the installation and positioning of the planetary gear structure when in use.

[0035] refer to Figure 5 As shown, in order to facilitate use, the outside is connected to the planetary gear structure, and a connecting head 12 is provided on the side of the gear frame 1 away from the planetary gear 5. The connecting head 12 is coaxially arranged with the central axis 2. In this way, when in use, the external component is directly connected to the connecting head 12. In order to keep the external component and the connecting head 12 rotating synchronously, a hexagonal groove can be provided on the connecting head 12 for easy positioning and limiting.

[0036] Further optimization is that, in order to balance the forces on various components, multiple installation grooves 11 can be evenly distributed in a circle. In this embodiment, three installation grooves 11 are provided, and the number of installation grooves 11 can be adaptively adjusted during production according to usage requirements.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 As shown, one end of the installation groove 11 is opened and extends to the ring side of the gear frame 1, so that it is convenient to install and remove the movable shaft.

Since the position of the movable shaft 4 in the installation groove 11 is adjustable, it is not necessary to accurately set the relative position of the movable shaft 4 and the central shaft 2 during the production process, thereby improving the production efficiency and product yield;

[0039] The structure of the present application can be used as a reducer, and the power splitting principle is adopted to make each planetary gear 5 carry a smaller load, and the corresponding module of the planetary gear 5 is smaller. In addition, under the condition of uniform load, as the number of planetary gears 5 increases, the size of each planetary gear 5 can be reduced accordingly.

[0040] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It is understood that other improvements and changes directly derived or associated by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concept of the present invention should be considered to be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
