[0025] Specifically, it includes a wheel hub module 1, a motor module 2, a reduction box module 3, and a built-in electromagnetic brake system module 4; the motor shaft 2-1 of the motor module 2 passes through the housing of the reduction box module 3 and is connected to the electromagnetic brake friction pad 4-1 of the built-in electromagnetic brake system module 4; the built-in electromagnetic brake system module 4 is also provided with a brake coil 4-2, a brake spring 4-3, a brake armature 4-4, and a brake spring 4-3; the brake spring 4-3 pops out the brake armature 4-4, the brake armature 4-4 limits the electromagnetic brake friction pad 4-1, and the electromagnetic brake friction pad 4-1 locks the motor module 2 of the motor shaft 2-1; the brake coil 4-2 generates a magnetic brake spring 4-3 and attracts the brake armature 4-4 after being energized, and the brake armature 4-4 is separated from the electromagnetic brake friction plate 4-1, and the motor shaft 2-1 of the motor module 2 is unlocked, so that the motor shaft 2-1 passes through the gear box and is directly connected to the electromagnetic brake friction plate 4-1. When the electromagnetic brake friction plate 4-1 and the motor of the motor module 2 are powered on at the same time, the brake coil 4-2 generates a magnetic rear brake spring 4-3 and attracts the brake armature 4-4, so that the brake armature 4-4 is separated from the electromagnetic brake friction plate 4-1, and the motor runs normally at this time. On the contrary, when the brake is powered off, the magnetism of the brake coil 4-2 disappears, the brake spring 4-3 pops out the armature, and the brake armature 4-4 presses against the electromagnetic brake friction plate 4-1, thereby locking the motor shaft 2-1 and stopping the motor from rotating.

The built-in electromagnetic brake system can quickly and effectively The motor shaft is effectively locked to prevent accidental start-up or sliding, and the safety during use is improved. The design can adapt to different load and speed requirements. By adjusting the parameters of the electromagnetic brake system, the motor shaft can be locked and unlocked accurately.

Therefore, this solution has the advantages of compact structure, high integration, high energy efficiency, low maintenance cost, environmental protection and energy saving, strong safety, strong adaptability, easy installation and debugging, high reliability and great intelligent potential.

The modular design allows for rapid assembly and testing, greatly shortening the time from design to delivery. Different motors, reducers and brake modules can also be selected according to their specific needs. This personalized configuration method ensures that each application can obtain the motor system that best suits its performance requirements, with a variety of reduction ratio options to adapt to different speed and torque requirements. Whether it is an occasion that requires high torque and low speed operation, or an application that requires high-speed flexibility, it can provide a perfect solution.
