[0040] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a planetary gear reducer for reducing the high-speed rotational motion output by a motor to a low-speed high-torque output. The reducer is suitable for automation equipment, robots and other mechanical transmission systems.

[0041] Structural composition

[0042] 1. Motor 1:

[0043] One end of the motor 1 is provided with a plurality of screw holes 11 for fixed installation. The output shaft 12 of the motor 1 passes through the rear cover plate 3 and enters the interior of the housing 2 .

[0044] 2. Shell 2:

[0045] A gear ring 21 is provided inside the housing to mesh with the first planetary gear 5 and the second planetary gear 8. Assembly holes 22 for mounting the cover plate are provided on the front and rear end surfaces.

[0046] 3. Front cover plate 4 and rear cover plate 3:

[0047] A through hole 31 is provided in the center, and a hole is provided in the outer ring to match the assembly hole 22 of the housing 1. Each cover plate is provided with a mounting hole 32 corresponding to the screw hole 11 of the motor 1. It is fixed to both sides of the housing by connecting pieces.

[0048] 4. Driving gear 6:

[0049] It is connected to the output shaft 12 of the motor 1 and meshes with the plurality of first planetary gears 5 .

[0050] 5. Primary planetary gear set:

[0051] The first planetary gears 5 are evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the driving gear 6. The primary planet carrier 7 has a first transmission shaft 71 at the front end and a plurality of first connecting shafts 72 at the rear end, which are respectively rotatably matched with the first planetary gears 5.

[0052] 6. Driven gear 9:

[0053] It is coaxially connected to the first transmission shaft 71 of the primary planet carrier 7 for rotation.

[0054] 7. Secondary planetary gear set:

[0055] The second planetary gears 8 are evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the driven gear 9. The secondary planetary carrier 10 has a second transmission shaft 101 at the front end and a plurality of second connecting shafts 102 at the rear end, which are respectively rotatably matched with the second planetary gears 8.

[0056] 8. Bearing design:

[0057] Bearings 73 are provided between the primary planet carrier 7 and the motor output shaft 12, and between the secondary planet carrier 10 and the first transmission shaft 71 of the primary planet carrier 7. A flange outer ring deep groove ball bearing 74 is provided between the front end cover 4 and the second transmission shaft 101.

[0058] Among them, the reason why this application chooses flanged outer ring deep groove ball bearings is that flanged outer ring deep groove ball bearings are based on standard deep groove ball bearings with a flange design added. The "flange" here refers to a protruding edge on one or both sides of the outer ring of the bearing, which can be used to locate the bearing or to fix the position of the bearing. This design helps to simplify the installation process and improve the stability of the system. The key point is that no additional fixing device (such as a retaining ring) is required to prevent the bearing from moving axially, so the number of parts can be significantly reduced and the difficulty of installation can be reduced.

[0059] 9. Spacer sleeves and contour sleeves:

[0060] Each of the first connecting shaft 72 and the second connecting shaft 102 is provided with a spacer sleeve 103 to isolate the side of the bearing from the planet carrier. A height-equalizing sleeve 104 is provided between the cover plate and the housing 2 to ensure the clearance during installation.

[0061] How it works

[0062] The motor output shaft 12 drives the first planetary gear 5 to rotate through the driving gear 6, and the primary planetary carrier 7 transmits the motion to the driven gear 9, thereby driving the second planetary gear 8 to rotate. The secondary planetary carrier 10 outputs a low-speed and high-torque rotational motion through the second transmission shaft 101.

[0063] Advantages and features

[0064] Planetary gear transmission is adopted to achieve efficient deceleration function. The structure design is compact and effectively saves space. The standardized design of each component is convenient for assembly and maintenance. The use of copper alloy materials improves the thermal conductivity and wear resistance of the transmission components. The multi-stage bearing and spacer design reduces friction and improves stability and service life. The reducer of this embodiment is efficient, stable and durable, and is suitable for various industrial equipment that require high-precision deceleration.
