[0026] The technical solutions in the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0027] As Figure 1 Shown in Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a sealing structure, which is installed in the shaft hole 5 and located at the end of the transmission shaft 1, and includes:

[0028] A sealed bearing 2 is arranged in the shaft hole 5, and the transmission shaft 1 passes through between the two sealed bearings 2;

[0029] A sealing cover 3 is buckled on the end face of the sealed bearing 2 and abuts against the inner side face of the shaft hole 5 for sealing the shaft hole 5; and

[0030] A fixing member is arranged on the sealing cover 3 and connected to the shaft hole 5 for fixedly installing the sealing cover 3 in the shaft hole 5.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present invention, the sealed bearing 2 is used to carry the transmission shaft 1. Compared with ordinary bearings, the sealed bearing 2 can play a preliminary sealing role. With the cooperation of the sealing cover 3, when the sealed bearing 2 and the transmission shaft 1 are assembled as a whole, the sealing cover 3 can be directly buckled in the shaft hole 5 to quickly seal the end of the transmission shaft 1 and the sealed bearing 2, effectively preventing the lubricating oil inside the reducer from leaking, thus avoiding environmental pollution caused by oil leakage.

[0032] Secondly, under the action of the fixing member, the stability of the sealing cover 3 in the shaft hole 5 is increased. When under the internal pressure of the reducer, the sealing cover 3 is still ensured to be inside the shaft hole 5, making the whole sealing structure more stable, reducing the possibility of loosening or falling off caused by internal pressure or external vibration, further improving the working stability of the reducer, indirectly reducing the workload of regularly checking and replenishing lubricating oil, and at the same time reducing the risk of damage to other components caused by oil leakage. After the sealing cover 3 is installed, its end face is lower than the mouth of the shaft hole 5, making the whole more beautiful.

[0033] Specifically, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the fixing member includes an installation portion 305 coaxially arranged with the sealing cover 3 and fixing blocks 301 arranged circumferentially along the installation portion 305. A fixing groove 304 is formed on the inner side surface of the shaft hole 5. When the sealing cover 3 is buckled to the shaft hole 5, the fixing blocks 301 are clamped in the fixing groove 304. Since a certain pressure will be generated when the internal transmission system of the box body works, the pressure will gradually be transmitted to the position of the sealing cover 3. In order to prevent the sealing cover 3 from falling out of the shaft hole 5, with the cooperation of the fixing blocks 301 in the fixing member, when the sealing cover 3 is pressed and buckled onto the shaft hole 5, the fixing blocks 301 on the sealing cover 3 are clamped into the fixing groove inside the shaft hole 5, performing axial limitation on the fixing blocks 301 to ensure that the sealing cover 3 is more stably installed under the action of the fixing blocks 301. Among them, the fixing blocks 301 can be made of elastic material so as to be clamped into the fixing groove from outside the shaft hole 5.

[0034] At the same time, one side of the fixing block 301 close to the sealing bearing 2 has a first guiding inclined surface 302, and the first guiding inclined surface 302 fits against the inner side surface of the fixing groove. The fixing block 301 has a wedge-shaped structure, and its first guiding inclined surface 302 is close to the sealing bearing 2. When installing the sealing cover 3, the first guiding inclined surface 302 directly contacts the edge of the shaft hole 5, which can help the fixing block 301 to be better guided into place during the assembly process, reduce the assembly difficulty, and ensure the position accuracy during installation. After the sealing cover 3 is installed, self-locking can be completed under the action of the opposite surface of the first guiding inclined surface 302.

[0035] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, a positioning ring 4 is clamped in the shaft hole 5, and both the sealing cover 3 and the sealing bearing 2 are abutted against the positioning ring 4. The positioning ring 4 has an open elastic structure. When installing the positioning ring 4, the inner diameter of the positioning ring 4 can be reduced by compressing the positioning ring 4, so that it can quickly enter the shaft hole 5, and by releasing the positioning ring 4, the positioning ring 4 elastically returns to abut against the side surface of the shaft hole 5. Under the action of the positioning ring 4, an accurate positioning reference point can be provided, so that the sealing cover 3 and the sealing bearing 2 can be correctly placed in the predetermined position. During assembly, it is only necessary to ensure that each component is installed in place in sequence and abutted against the positioning ring 4, which simplifies the assembly process. Moreover, as an intermediate support member, the positioning ring 4 can increase the stability of the sealing bearing 2 and the sealing cover 3 and reduce their axial movement. Especially when the vehicle encounters bumps during driving, it can better maintain the position stability of the sealing assembly.

[0036] In order to further improve the installation strength of the positioning ring 4, as Figure 2As shown, a positioning groove 501 corresponding to the positioning ring 4 is provided on the inner side surface of the shaft hole 5, and the positioning ring 4 is snap-fitted into the positioning groove 501. When installing the positioning ring 4, snapping the positioning ring 4 into the positioning groove 501 can ensure that its position remains fixed, avoiding axial or radial movement of the positioning ring 4 within the shaft hole 5. At the same time, the structural stability of the positioning ring 4 is increased. Especially when the vehicle encounters impacts or vibrations during driving, it can better maintain the integrity of the sealing structure. Moreover, the positioning groove 501 can provide certain assembly guidance, making the precise installation of the positioning ring 4 more intuitive and easier, improving the assembly efficiency.

[0037] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, a second guiding inclined surface 502 is formed by the edge of the opening of the shaft hole 5 extending radially. The second guiding inclined surface 502 makes the opening of the shaft hole 5 in an outwardly expanding shape. Using the second guiding inclined surface 502 as the guiding surface during assembly can help the sealing cover 3 more easily align and be installed into the shaft hole 5, reducing the alignment difficulty during assembly and making the assembly process smoother.

[0038] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, a skeleton 303 is installed between the sealing cover 3 and the mounting portion 305. The skeleton 303 can support the overall structure of the sealing cover 3, further increasing the overall rigidity of the sealing cover 3.

[0039] In another embodiment of the present utility model, a speed reducer including the above sealing structure and a tricycle including the above speed reducer are also disclosed. The specific structure of this sealing structure refers to the above embodiment. Since the speed reducer and the tricycle adopt all the technical solutions of the above embodiment, they at least have all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiment, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model and are not restrictive. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present utility model can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions of the present utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
