"And / or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a reducer 1, including a housing 2 and a transmission device 3, wherein at least part of the housing 2 includes a support shell 21 and a covering shell 22, wherein the support shell 21 is provided with a support shaft hole 211 and a hollow hole 212, and the covering shell 22 is disposed in the hollow hole 212 and seals the hollow hole 212. The transmission device 3 is disposed in the housing 2, and the transmission device 3 includes a transmission shaft, and the transmission shaft is rotatably supported in the support shaft hole 211. The density of the support shell 21 is in the range of 2.0 to 10.0 g / cm3, and the density of the covering shell 22 is in the range of 1.0 to 2.0 g / cm3. The transmission device 3 is accommodated in the housing 2, and the housing 2 includes a support shell 21 and a covering shell 22. The support shell 21 is within a certain density range, which can ensure that the strength of the support shell 21 is large, and can play a supporting and protective role to protect the internal transmission device 3. The covering shell 22 is made of lightweight material and covers the outside of the supporting shell 21 , which further reduces the weight of the reducer 1 while meeting the strength requirements, improves the efficiency of the reducer 1 , and reduces the cost.

[0029] In some embodiments, preferably, the supporting shell 21 may be a metal shell, and the covering shell 22 may be a plastic shell. The metal shell has the advantages of high strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, and can support the internal transmission device 3, protect the transmission device 3 from damage, and ensure the shape and reliability of the reducer 1. The covering shell 22 is made of plastic material, which has the advantages of lightness, wear resistance, and low cost. It covers the outside of the supporting shell 21, protects the transmission device 3, greatly reduces the weight of the reducer 1, saves costs, and improves the product experience.

[0030] Specifically, the support shell 21 can also be a steel alloy shell, and the covering shell 22 can be an aluminum alloy shell. The steel alloy shell has high strength and provides support and protection, and can be used as the support shell 21, while the aluminum alloy shell has low density and good corrosion resistance, and can be used as the covering shell 22 to well protect the internal transmission device 3 from damage, thereby reducing the weight of the reducer 1 while ensuring the quality of the reducer 1.

[0031] Preferably, refer to Figure 2, the support shaft hole 211 and the hollow hole 212 penetrate the two opposite sides of the support shell 21. The support shell 21 is formed with a support frame 213 between the support shaft hole 211 and the hollow hole 212, and the covering shell 22 is connected to the support frame 213. The support shaft hole 211 and the hollow hole 212 penetrate the support shell 21, the transmission shaft is fixedly installed in the support shaft hole 211, the support frame 213 is connected to form the support shaft hole 211 and the hollow hole 212, and the covering shell 22 is based on the support frame 213 to cover and connect the support frame 213, forming the outer shell 2 to protect the transmission shaft and other components, thereby improving the durability of the reducer 1.

[0032] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 The support frame 213 includes a ring-shaped edge frame 214 and a reinforcement frame 215. The reinforcement frame 215 connects the edge frame 214 and the edge of the support shaft hole 211 and the edges of the two adjacent support shaft holes 211. The hollow holes 212 include a plurality of hollow holes 212, each of which is formed between the reinforcement frame 215, the edge frame 214 and the edge of the support shaft hole 211. The edge frame 214 is the edge of the shell 2, and the reinforcement frame 215 connects the edge frame 214 and the edges of several support shaft holes 211 to form the hollow holes 212. The hollow holes 212 are mostly triangular structures, and the triangular structure has good stability, which improves the support performance of the shell 2 and ensures the reliability of the shell 2. Specifically, the hollow hole 212 can also be a quadrilateral or other polygon. The size of the hollow hole 212 is set according to the actual situation to ensure the support force of the support frame 213. The setting of the hollow hole 212 greatly reduces the weight of the reducer 1 and improves the endurance of the vehicle.

[0033] Furthermore, a plurality of reinforcing frames 215 are provided, and the plurality of reinforcing frames 215 are cross-connected to each other, or the extension lines of the plurality of reinforcing frames 215 are cross-connected to each other. The frame structure of the support frame 213 reduces the weight of the reducer 1, and the reduction in the weight of the reducer 1 improves the endurance of the vehicle and saves energy. In addition, the reinforcing frame 215 is connected to the support shaft hole 211 and the edge frame 214, and the cross-connection of the plurality of reinforcing frames 215 can improve the strength and stability of the housing 2 of the reducer 1, so that the housing 2 is not easily deformed, thereby ensuring the stability of the reducer 1.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 3 The reinforcing frames 215 are arranged radially with the center of the supporting shaft hole 211 as the center of the circle. The reinforcing frames 215 are arranged radially and radiate from the center of the circle to the adjacent supporting shaft holes 211 and the edge frames 214 to connect, thereby improving the structural strength.

[0035] Specifically, there are multiple covering shells 22, and each covering shell 22 is fixedly connected to the corresponding hollow hole 212 by injection molding, wrapping or adhesion. The covering shell 22 is fixedly integrated with the support frame 213 by injection molding, wrapping or adhesion, etc., which has good stability and is not easy to fall off and separate, thereby improving the quality of the reducer 1.

[0036] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The housing 2 includes a first housing 23 and a second housing 24 fixed to each other, and the first housing 23 and the second housing 24 are fixed to form the housing 2. A cavity is formed inside the housing 2, and the transmission device 3 is arranged in the housing 2. At least one of the first housing 23 and the second housing 24 is arranged to include a supporting housing 21 and a covering housing 22. The first housing 23 is used to fix and install the transmission shaft and other parts, and the second housing 24 covers the first housing 23. In addition, a fixing hole 216 is also arranged on the edge frame 214 of the first housing 23 and the second housing 24. The fastener 217 passes through the fixing hole 216 to connect the first housing 23 and the second housing 24 to form the reducer 1. The first housing 23 and the second housing 24 can both be arranged to include the supporting housing 21 and the covering housing 22, or one of the first housing 23 and the second housing 24 can be arranged to include the supporting housing 21 and the covering housing 22.
