Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a garden tool, in particular to a wheeled garden tool. Background Art

[0002] The driving wheels of the existing wheeled garden tools on the market generally use motors as power sources, and then convert and output a larger torque through a speed reducer to meet the working requirements. However, this structure occupies a large space and cannot reserve enough heat dissipation channels, resulting in poor heat dissipation, which will not only affect the service life of the equipment, but also affect the layout of other structures.

[0003] The existing wheeled garden tools use general hub motors as the power sources of the driving wheels, which solves the problems of large occupied space and poor heat dissipation. However, the no-load speed of such hub motors is relatively high. In order to meet the use requirements of wheeled garden tools, only the duty ratio of the motor can be reduced to reduce the motor speed, and at this time, the motor efficiency is relatively low.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to improve the existing wheeled garden tools to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0036] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 As shown, the present utility model discloses a gardening tool 100, including but not limited to a lawn mower, a soil cultivator and a snow sweeper.

[0038] As Figures 4 - 8 shown, the gardening tool 100 further includes at least two driving assemblies 700, and the driving assemblies 700 are installed in the rims of the corresponding traveling wheels 600 to drive the corresponding traveling wheels 600 to rotate. The gardening tool 100 of this embodiment includes two front traveling wheels and two rear traveling wheels, and the driving assemblies 700 are installed in the rims of both rear traveling wheels. That is to say, the above-mentioned first traveling wheel 601 and second traveling wheel 602 are both rear traveling wheels. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the driving assemblies 700 may also be installed in the rims of the two front traveling wheels, and no limitation is made thereto.

[0039] The driving assembly 700 can meet the use requirements of the gardening tool 100 and can transmit a larger torque. The driving assembly 700 has a small volume. Installing the driving assembly 700 in the rim of the traveling wheel 600 can reduce the axial dimension of the traveling wheel 600, release more lateral space, facilitate the layout of other structures, and can also add other new functions to increase the functions of the whole machine, including but not limited to reserving sufficient heat dissipation channels for heat dissipation and prolonging the service life of the gardening tool 100.

[0040] The driving assembly 700 includes a motor 1 and a speed reducer 2. At least two driving assemblies 700 correspond to at least two motors 1 and at least two speed reducers 2. At least two motors 1 include a first motor for driving the first driving wheel 601 and a second motor for driving the second driving wheel 602. The first motor drives the first driving wheel 601 through a first speed reducer, the second motor drives the second driving wheel 602 through a second speed reducer, and the control unit 501 can control the first motor and the second motor. In this embodiment, at least a part of the first motor is located inside the first driving wheel 601, and at least a part of the second motor is located inside the second driving wheel 602.

The core bracket is fixedly installed on the output shaft 11, the stator core is fixed on the core bracket, the outer rotor 12 is a magnetic conductive ring and is sleeved on the output shaft 11 through a rotor bearing 121. When the motor 1 starts, the outer rotor 12 rotates around the output shaft 11 through the rotor bearing 121. Optionally, the rated speed of the motor 1 is preferably 45 rpm - 2540 rpm. At this time, the motor 1 can meet the use requirements of the gardening tool 100 and can transmit a larger torque.

When the motor 1 starts the outer rotor 12 to rotate, it drives the sun gear 24 to rotate, and drives the traveling wheel 600 to rotate through the planetary gear 23 and the internal gear ring 22.

In this embodiment, the number of the planetary gears 23 is 3 or 4, and the plurality of planetary gears 23 surround the sun gear 24 outside and are meshed with the sun gear 24.
