[0026] Through the above technical solution, the base 2 of the utility model is provided with a first bayonet 7 and a second bayonet 8, the outer side wall of the inner gear ring 11 of the primary reducer 3 is provided with a third bayonet 12, and the inner gear ring 11 is extended with a clamping block 13, and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 is provided with a fixing piece 6.

[0027] Embodiment 2:

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the outer cylinder 1 of the utility model is fixedly connected to the base 2, and the entire electric strut reducer is wrapped by an outer cylinder 1, whose main function is to provide a stable installation support and protect the internal components. The bottom of the base 2 is fixedly installed with a driving motor. The outer cylinder 1 is equipped with a primary reducer 3 and a secondary reducer 4. The primary reducer 3 and the secondary reducer 4 are the core components of the reduction function. The primary reducer 3 and the secondary reducer 4 work in coordination, and through multi-stage reduction, a larger reduction ratio is achieved to ensure that the final output torque can meet the torque requirements of the electric strut. The outer cylinder 1 is provided with a secondary internal tooth 5, which is meshed with the planetary gear of the secondary reducer 4. A fixing part 6 is provided inside the outer cylinder 1, and a first bayonet 7 and a second bayonet 8 are provided on the base 2. The fixing part 6 fixes the outer cylinder 1 to the base 2 and the first-stage reducer 3. Specifically, the inner gear ring 11 of the first-stage reducer 3 is provided with a third bayonet 12, and the third bayonet 12 is fixed with the fixing part 6. The length of the fixing part 6 is greater than that of the third bayonet 12. Therefore, the second bayonet 8 on the base 2 can continue to be clamped and fixed on the fixing part 6. The fixing part 6 can fix the base 2 and the first-stage reducer 3 to prevent the rotation between the outer cylinder 1 and the base 2 and the outer cylinder 1 and the first-stage reducer 3. The primary reducer 3 includes a primary planet carrier 9, a primary planetary gear 10 and an inner gear ring 11. The outer wall of the inner gear ring 11 is provided with a third bayonet 12. The third bayonet 12 is connected to the fixing member 6 to fix the inner gear ring 11 inside the outer cylinder 1. The inner gear ring 11 is extended with a clamping block 13. The clamping block 13 further enhances the structural stability of the reduction box. When the motor is running, the inner gear ring 11 is not directly fixedly connected to the motor, and the inner gear ring 11 will generate a counter torque, which is due to the torque reaction generated by the meshing of the gears. Through the cooperation of the first bayonet 7 and the clamping block 13, the inner gear ring 11 and the base 2 form a component of a stable structure, offsetting the counter torque between the inner gear ring 11 and the base 2. The clamping block 13 of the inner gear ring 11 is connected to the base 2 to offset the counter torque, reduce the counter torque acting on the outer cylinder 1, protect the connection between the outer cylinder 1 and the base 2 from damage, and improve the service life of the electric strut reduction box. The primary planet carrier 9 is mounted with the primary planetary gear 10 through the primary shaft 14, and the primary planetary gear 10 is meshed with the inner gear ring 11. The secondary reducer 4 includes an output spline 15, a secondary planetary gear 16 and a copper cup 17. The copper cup 17 reduces the friction between the output spline 15 and the outer cylinder 1, thereby improving the mechanical efficiency and durability of the entire reduction box. The output spline 15 is mounted with the secondary planetary gear 16 through the secondary shaft 18, and the output spline 15 is provided with a spline shaft 19. The secondary internal gear 5 is meshed with the secondary planetary gear 16.

[0029] The spline shaft 19 of the utility model is movably installed in the outer cylinder 1 through the cooperation of the card slot 20 and the retaining spring 21. Specifically, after the retaining spring 21 is embedded in the card slot 20, the spline shaft 19 can still rotate freely inside the outer cylinder 1, but the axial movement is restricted. Through the connection between the card slot 20 and the retaining spring 21, the spline shaft 19 can be easily installed in the outer cylinder 1. The operator only needs to insert the retaining spring 21 into the card slot 20 to complete the installation of the spline shaft 19, which greatly simplifies the assembly process and saves time and labor costs. The retaining spring 21 is clamped in the card slot 20, which can effectively fix the position of the spline shaft 19, prevent it from axial displacement or falling off during operation, and prevent external loads from affecting the stability of the internal gears. This not only improves the structural stability of the reduction box, but also ensures the operational safety of the entire system. When maintenance is required, the maintenance personnel only need to remove the retaining spring 21 to easily remove the spline shaft 19 from the outer cylinder 1. By providing a slot 20 at the end of the spline shaft 19 and using a retaining spring 21 to movably install the spline shaft 19 in the outer cylinder 1, this optimized design significantly improves the assembly convenience, structural stability, maintenance convenience and operational reliability of the electric strut reducer.

[0030] In order to further improve the performance of the reduction box, the utility model optimizes the design of the outer wall of the copper cup 17, and sets a clamp 22 on the outer wall. The outer tube is made of plastic material, and the function of the clamp 22 is that after the copper cup is pressed into the outer tube, the clamp 22 will be embedded in the side wall of the outer tube, so that the copper cup is firmly connected with the outer tube, and the outer wall of the copper cup is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the outer tube to prevent the lubricating oil from overflowing and affecting other parts at the load end.

[0031] The block of the utility model has the same shape and size as the first bayonet, and the block is clamped and fixed to the first bayonet, so as to ensure that the two can be closely fitted and fixed, prevent loosening, and improve the stability of the reduction box under various working conditions. Specifically, the block is a part extending from the outer periphery of the inner gear ring, and the first bayonet is a groove set on the base. This design not only provides more support in structure, but also ensures that the two can be seamlessly connected during assembly, thereby improving the stability and safety of the equipment. The block and the first bayonet have the same shape and size, so that they can achieve precise docking and close fit. This design can effectively prevent loosening caused by vibration or other external forces during operation, thereby ensuring the stability of the reduction box under high load. Close fit can also avoid transmission errors caused by loosening and improve the operating accuracy of the equipment. The matching design of the block and the first bayonet makes the installation process simpler and faster. The assembler only needs to align the block with the first bayonet and clamp it to complete the fixation. This greatly simplifies the assembly steps and improves production efficiency. At the same time, it also reduces human errors in assembly, ensuring that each reduction box can achieve the expected assembly effect. The additional mechanical fixing force generated by the close fit between the clamping block and the first clamping opening further strengthens the connection between the inner gear ring and the base.

[0032] The second bayonet 8 and the third bayonet 12 of the utility model are the same in number and in corresponding positions, so that the second bayonet 8 and the third bayonet 12 can be plugged into the fixing member 6 of the outer cylinder 1. The second bayonet 8 is located on the base 2, and the third bayonet 12 is located on the outer side wall of the inner gear ring 11. The corresponding second bayonet 8 and the third bayonet 12 are plugged and installed on a fixing member 6, which can reduce the number of fixing members 6 inside the outer cylinder 1, optimize the structure of the outer cylinder 1, and at the same time, facilitate the determination of the installation direction of the base 2 and the inner gear ring 11.

[0033] The utility model is provided with assembly holes 23 on the base 2, and these assembly holes 23 are used to install the drive motor, and the drive motor is firmly fixed on the base 2 by bolts. By directly fixing the drive motor in the assembly holes 23 on the base 2, looseness and vibration caused by unstable connection can be effectively avoided. This not only improves the overall connection strength between the reduction box and the motor, but also reduces the noise and vibration during operation, and improves the operation stability and reliability of the equipment. The preset assembly holes 23 make the installation process of the drive motor simple and quick. The operator only needs to align the motor according to the hole position and use bolts to fix it to complete the assembly. This design avoids the complicated bracket installation and debugging process, greatly reducing the assembly time and labor cost. When the equipment needs to be maintained and repaired, the disassembly of the drive motor also becomes more convenient. There is no need to disassemble the cumbersome brackets and connectors, and the motor can be removed by loosening the bolts, which saves maintenance time and improves the maintainability and maintenance efficiency of the equipment. By presetting the assembly holes 23 on the base 2, this design improves the standardization level of the connection between the reduction box and the drive motor. During the production process, the consistency and interchangeability of the equipment can be ensured by simply processing and assembling according to the preset standards, which improves the overall production efficiency and quality control level. The drive motor is directly fixed on the base 2 of the reduction box, avoiding the use of additional brackets, making the entire transmission system more compact and unified. This not only improves the aesthetics of the equipment, but also reduces the extra weight and volume caused by the external bracket, and improves the space utilization of the equipment.
