After the winding end of the motor is energized by the driver, the stator steel sheet, magnetic steel, and rotor yoke are matched to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the input shaft to rotate synchronously. Under the meshing action of the input shaft and the planetary gear, the planetary gear is driven to rotate for planetary reduction. The planetary gear drives the eccentric shaft to rotate, and the eccentric shaft drives the cycloid wheel to rotate. The outer teeth of the cycloid wheel and the inner teeth of the pin gear housing perform eccentric motion under the connection of the needle roller.

[0045] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0046] A lightweight RV reducer module, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an RV reducer 01, a motor 02 and a connecting flange 19. The RV reducer 01 is connected to the motor 02 and the connecting flange 19, and the motor 02 is installed in the connecting flange 19. The RV reducer 01 includes a pin gear housing 1, a needle roller 4, a cycloidal wheel 5, an eccentric shaft 6, an output shaft 7, an output shaft cover 8, a planetary wheel 9 and an input shaft 10. The output shaft 7 and the output shaft cover 8 are connected by a conical pin and an inner hexagon screw to form an output disc frame. The two cycloidal wheels 5 are respectively installed on the two cams of the eccentric shaft 6. The needle roller 4 is arranged between the inner teeth of the pin gear housing 1 and the outer teeth of the two cycloidal wheels 5. The number of needle rollers 4 is the same as the number of teeth of the inner teeth of the pin gear housing 1, and the number of teeth of the outer teeth of the cycloidal wheel 5 is one less than that of the inner teeth of the pin gear housing 1. The motor 02 includes a stator steel sheet 25, a winding end 26, a magnetic steel 27, a rotor yoke 28 and a rotating shaft 29, and the connecting flange 19 is connected to the pin gear housing 1. The planetary gear 9 is installed at one end of the eccentric shaft 6 close to the motor 02. One end of the input shaft 10 is meshed with the outer teeth of the planetary gear 9, and the other end passes through the connecting flange 19 and is fixed in the inner hole of the rotating shaft 29 by the connecting screws 30.

[0047] like Figure 1As shown, the basic structure and working principle of the RV reducer 01 are the same as those of the prior art. After the winding end 26 in the motor 02 is energized, the stator steel sheet 25, the magnetic steel 27, and the rotor yoke 28 are controlled to drive the rotating shaft 29 to rotate. The rotating shaft 29 drives the input shaft 10 to rotate and engage with the planetary gear 9 to perform planetary reduction. The planetary gear 9 drives the eccentric shaft 6 to rotate, and the eccentric shaft 6 drives the cycloid wheel 5 to rotate. The outer teeth of the cycloid wheel 5 and the inner teeth of the pin gear housing 1 perform eccentric motion under the connection of the needle roller 4. When the pin gear housing 1 is fixed, the cycloid wheel 5 rotates around the center while eccentrically moving, driving the output disc frame composed of the output shaft 7 and the output shaft cover 8 to rotate, and cycloid reduction is performed. The output shaft 7 outputs the speed and torque as the output end.

[0048] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, needle roller and retainer bearings 11 are respectively provided between the bearing hole of the cycloid wheel 5 and the cam of the eccentric shaft 6, between the true circles at both ends of the eccentric shaft 6 and the bearing holes of the output shaft 7 and the bearing holes of the output shaft cover 8. In the present application, the four needle roller and retainer bearings 11 on each eccentric shaft 6 have no inner ring and outer ring. In this way, by reducing the inner and outer diameters of the needle roller and retainer bearings 11, the inner and outer diameters of the needle gear housing 1, the output shaft 7, the output shaft cover 8, the cycloid wheel 5, etc. are correspondingly reduced, that is, the inner and outer diameters of the RV reducer 01 are reduced, and the weight is greatly reduced, so that the small volume and lightweight of the entire module are realized from the radial direction, and the structure is made more compact.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, roller support bearings 12 are arranged between the inner hole of the pin gear housing 1 and the outer circle of the output shaft 7 and the outer circle of the output shaft cover 8. The two ends of the needle roller 4 and the ends of the two cycloidal wheels 5 that are far away from each other are in contact with the outer ring of the roller support bearing 12 that is close to them. The inner ring of the roller support bearing 12 is in contact with the step of the inner hole of the output shaft 7 / output shaft cover 8 corresponding to it. The two roller support bearings 12 are used to limit the cycloidal wheel 5 and the needle roller 4 to prevent the needle roller 4 and the cycloidal wheel 5 from axially moving significantly. The roller support bearing 12 in the utility model replaces the original angular contact ball bearing, and the bending moment resistance capacity is improved by 2-3 times. Under the same bending moment resistance capacity, a small volume roller support bearing 12 can be used, thereby further reducing the inner and outer diameters and axial thickness of the pin gear housing 1, and further realizing the small volume and light weight of the entire module from both the axial and radial directions.

[0050] like Figure 1As shown, an output side baffle 14 coaxially arranged therewith is provided at the end of the output shaft 7 away from the planetary gear 9, the output side baffle 14 is mounted on the output shaft 7 and its outer circle abuts against the inner hole of the output shaft 7, the outer end face of the output side baffle 14 is flush with the outer end face of the output shaft 7 after installation, and the output side baffle 14 is limitedly abutted against the ends of multiple eccentric shafts 6 and the needle rollers and cage bearings 11 close thereto. An input side baffle 18 coaxially arranged therewith is provided between the end of the output shaft cover 8 close to the planetary gear 9 and the planetary gear 9, the input side baffle 18 is mounted on the output shaft cover 8 and its outer circle abuts against the inner hole of the output shaft cover 8, and the input side baffle 18 and the needle rollers and cage bearings 11 close thereto and the true circular step close thereto of the eccentric shaft 6 are limitedly abutted therewith.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the output side baffle 14 and the input side baffle 18 are used to limit the eccentric shaft 6 and the needle roller and retainer bearings 11 at both ends of the eccentric shaft 6 to avoid axial movement of the eccentric shaft 6 and the needle roller and retainer bearings 11. In this way, the deep groove ball bearings 31 and the hole limit rings between the two ends of the eccentric shaft 6 and the output shaft 7 and the output shaft cover 8 are eliminated, which greatly reduces the axial length of the RV reducer 01, and the axial length and weight of the needle gear housing 1 are reduced accordingly, thereby achieving a small volume and lightweight of the entire module from the axial direction.

[0052] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, a wire tube 16 coaxial with the output shaft 7 is installed in the center hole of the output shaft 7, and the wire tube 16 and the output side baffle 14 are close to each other and abut against each other, and the wire tube 16 also abuts against the step of the center hole of the output shaft 7. The wire tube 16 is convenient for the threading of the cable, and the output side baffle 14 and the step of the center hole of the output shaft 7 are directly used to limit the wire tube 16 to avoid its axial movement, and there is no need to set a limit ring for the wire tube 16. In addition, the inner hole of the planetary gear 9 and the outer wall of the eccentric shaft 6 are installed with interference fit, and there is no need to set an axial limit ring between the two sides of the planetary gear 9 and the eccentric shaft 6, which can avoid the axial movement of the planetary gear 9, and can also reduce the length of the pin gear housing 1 and the eccentric shaft 6 in the axial direction, further achieving small volume and light weight.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, a shell ring 2 is provided in the middle of the outer wall of the needle tooth housing 1, which is coaxial with the housing 1 and extends radially outward. A flange ring 20 is provided at one end of the connecting flange 19 close to the needle tooth housing 1, which is coaxial with the housing 1 and extends axially outward. The flange ring 20 and the housing ring 2 are in contact with each other at the end walls close to each other, and are connected and fixed by a plurality of hexagon socket bolts 21 arranged around the circumference of the housing ring 2. The needle tooth housing 1 and the housing ring 2 are integrally arranged and are both made of steel to ensure strength.
