Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of motors, and particularly relates to a differential reduction motor for the rear axle of a wheelchair. Background Art
[0002] As an important auxiliary tool for people with mobility difficulties, the performance of a wheelchair directly affects the user's experience and quality of life.
[0003] For existing wheelchairs, the rotational speeds of the wheels on both sides are the same. When turning, the inner and outer wheels travel different distances, resulting in additional friction between the tires and the ground. This not only increases tire wear but also makes the turning operation difficult, requiring the user to exert more effort to control the wheelchair's steering, causing inconvenience to the user. In addition, existing motors also have deficiencies in heat dissipation. After long-term use, the motor is prone to overheating, affecting the performance and service life of the motor.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the magnet sheet can be adsorbed on the limiting plate, thereby being used to fix the position of the wound cooling pipe.
[0015] The present utility model is further configured such that a base is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the coolant tank. An L-shaped bottom frame is fixedly connected to the side surface of the base. A slider is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the L-shaped bottom frame, and a bolt is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the L-shaped bottom frame.

While driving the tire to rotate, the differential reduction motor body can drive the cooling fan to rotate to generate an air flow, accelerating the air flow and dissipating heat from the differential reduction motor body. The heat dissipation effect is further improved in cooperation with the wound cooling pipe. Description of the Drawings

[0031] A magnet sheet 17 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the cooling pipe 16, and a limiting plate 18 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the differential reduction motor body 1. The material of the limiting plate 18 is iron, and the side surface of the magnet sheet 17 is magnetically connected to the limiting plate 18. The magnet sheet 17 is adsorbed on the limiting plate 18 to fix the position of the cooling pipe 16 on the differential reduction motor body 1. The side surface of the cooling pipe 16 is in contact with the differential reduction motor body 1. A temperature sensor 19 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the differential reduction motor body 1, and a control module 20 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the coolant tank 14. One end of the cooling pipe 16 far away from the water pump 15 is communicated with the coolant tank 14. A liquid inlet pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the coolant tank 14, and a sealing cover is arranged on the side surface of the liquid inlet pipe 22.

When it is necessary to fine-tune the height of the differential reduction motor body 1, rotate the hexagonal block 9 to make the threaded rod 8 rotate, so as to fine-tune the height of the differential reduction motor body 1. Then, fix the L-shaped chassis 10 to the rear axle of the wheelchair through the bolt 23. When the wheelchair moves forward, the output shaft 3 drives the wheelchair tire to rotate and at the same time drives the radiator fan 6 to rotate. When the temperature sensor 19 detects that the temperature of the differential reduction motor body 1 exceeds the threshold, it transmits the information to the control module 20. The control module 20 turns on the water pump 15 to pump the coolant in the coolant tank 14 into the cooling pipe 16, so that the coolant circulates to help cool the differential reduction motor body 1.
