Among them, the sun gear is installed on the rotor, and the planet gears are installed on the planet carrier and cooperate with the sun gear to jointly complete a complex transmission process. And the planet carrier itself is installed on the transmission shaft.

During the installation process, precise operation is required to ensure that the circlip is installed in place, otherwise it may affect the performance and reliability of the motor. Secondly, the complex structure increases the difficulty of maintenance and repair. Once a failure occurs, more time and effort are required for disassembly and repair.

[0030] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

Embodiment
[0033] Refer to Figures 1 - 4 As shown, a planet carrier mounting structure mainly includes two key components: a transmission shaft 1 and a planet carrier 2.
[0034] On the transmission shaft 1, there are a first platform 11 and a second platform 12 with a cylindrical structure. These two platforms are arranged adjacent to each other, and the diameter of the first platform 11 is significantly larger than that of the second platform 12. At the junction of the first platform 11 and the second platform 12, a blocking surface 14 is formed, which plays a key role in positioning and restricting in the entire installation structure.
[0035] The planet carrier 2 is arranged on the second platform 12 of the transmission shaft 1, and one end thereof abuts tightly against the blocking surface 14. This abutting method not only ensures the accurate position of the planet carrier 2 on the transmission shaft 1, but also effectively prevents the excessive movement of the planet carrier 2 in the axial direction. Through such a design, the planet carrier 2 can remain stable during operation, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the entire transmission system.
[0036] A key connection method is adopted between the transmission shaft 1 and the planet carrier 2. Specifically, key pin slots 13 are provided on the second platform 12 of the transmission shaft 1. At the same time, corresponding notches are also provided on the planet carrier 2 which are precisely corresponding to the key pin slots 13. Between the key pin slots 13 and the notches, key pins are cleverly arranged, and through this key component, a firm connection and torque transmission between the transmission shaft 1 and the planet carrier 2 are achieved.
[0037] Among them, one end of the key pin slot 13 abuts against the blocking surface 14. This abutting design has multiple advantages. First of all, it further enhances the position stability of the key pin slot 13, avoiding displacement due to force during the transmission process. Secondly, abutting against the blocking surface 14 helps to more evenly disperse the stress generated during the transmission process, improving the durability of the entire structure.
[0038] In this embodiment, the number of key pin slots 13 is two, and the two key pin slots 13 are distributed at 180 degrees. The 180-degree distribution of the two key pin slots 13 makes the connection between the transmission shaft 1 and the planet carrier 2 more firm, capable of withstanding greater torque and load.
[0039] In summary, through the above key connection method between the transmission shaft 1 and the planet carrier 2, including the accurately set key pin slots 13, corresponding notches, key pins and reasonable distribution, a firm and efficient transmission connection structure is jointly formed, providing a strong guarantee for the normal operation of the in-wheel motor.
[0040] In this embodiment, the planet carrier 2 presents a circular structure, which has good symmetry and stability. At its central hole, a shaft hole 21 adapted to the second platform 12 is provided. This design enables the planet carrier 2 to be tightly and precisely installed on the second platform 12 of the transmission shaft 1, ensuring the coaxiality and stability during the transmission process.
[0041] Meanwhile, the notch 22 communicates with the shaft hole 21, and this communication design facilitates the subsequent installation and transmission work. The existence of the notch 22 enables the planet carrier 2 to accurately dock with the relevant structure on the transmission shaft 1, thereby achieving efficient transmission.
[0042] Three short shafts 23 are circumferentially arranged on the planet carrier 2, and each short shaft 23 is connected to the planet gear 3 through a transmission bearing 6. This connection method effectively reduces friction and wear, and improves the transmission efficiency and service life.
[0043] A sun gear 4 that meshes with the planet gear 3 is arranged on the transmission shaft 1 with a gap (the sun gear 4 is fixedly arranged on the rotor), and the sun gear 4 is located on the first platform 11 and is distributed with a gap from the first platform 11. One end of the sun gear 4 extends to one side of the blocking surface 14.
[0044] In this embodiment, a bearing 5 is also arranged on the second platform 12, and the outer side of the planet carrier 2 contacts the bearing 5, so that the bearing 5 plays a certain axial limiting role on the planet carrier 2, which helps to improve the installation stability of the planet carrier 2.
[0045] In summary, the embodiments of the present utility model achieve the following technical effects: Through the structural improvement of the transmission shaft 1, a blocking surface 14 that bulges upward is formed on one side of the planet carrier 2, and the above-mentioned blocking surface 14 plays an effective blocking and positioning effect on the planet carrier 2. In cooperation with the key connection, it jointly ensures the stable operation of the planet carrier 2. This dual protection mechanism greatly enhances the stability and reliability of the planet carrier 2 during the working process. At the same time, the application of the circlip is successfully reduced from the process. The omission of the circlip brings many advantages. First, the number of parts is reduced, the overall structure is simplified, and the production cost is reduced. Second, during the assembly process, the complex process of installing the circlip is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved. Third, the potential trouble caused by improper installation of the circlip is avoided, and the quality stability of the product is improved.
