DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] The gear-type actuator for parking brakes comprises a housing 1 and a cover 2. The housing 1 is a one-piece structure, comprising a left chamber 3 for mounting a motor 5 and a right chamber 4 for mounting a transmission mechanism. The housing 1 is integrally formed by mold casting. Both the left chamber 3 and the right chamber 4 are cylindrical.
[0027] The upper end of the left cavity 3 is a top plate 6, which is used to provide a limit for the installation of the motor. This ensures the reliability of the installation of the motor 5. A mounting opening 7 is provided on the top plate 6 in the middle of the upper end of the left cavity 3. The edge of the top plate 6 is provided with a vertical edge 8, wherein the edge 8 is an arc-shaped edge. A retaining ring 9 is provided along the upper edge of the mounting opening 7. The height of the retaining ring 9 is lower than that of the edge 8. The retaining ring 9 is used to provide space for the installation of the first reduction gear. The edge 8 and the retaining ring 9 enclose a first reduction gear cavity 10.
[0028] The top plate 6 is provided with a lead-out port 161 on both sides of the retaining ring 9, and also includes a motor 5. The motor 5 includes a motor 5 shell and a motor cover 11 at the end. The motor cover 11 is provided with a terminal block 12. The terminal block 12 includes a base 13. A mounting hole is provided in the middle of the base 13. A welding piece 14 in the middle and terminal pieces 15 on both sides of the welding piece 14 are provided in the mounting hole. A lead-out hole 16 is provided between the terminal piece 15 and the welding piece 14. The terminal of the motor 5 coil can be led out from the lead-out hole 16 and welded to the welding piece 14 and the terminal piece 15; this connection method is very convenient. Since the motor 5 and the terminal block 13 are pre-installed, in the later installation process, it is only necessary to install the motor 5 to the left cavity 3, and the welding piece 14 of the terminal block 12 is led out from the lead-out port 161 and welded to the terminal pin 18.
[0029] A wiring port 17 extends from one side of the left cavity 3, facing downward. A wiring pin 18 is provided in the wiring port 17, extending to the lead-out port 161. The wiring pin 18 is fixed to the welding piece 14 by welding.
[0030] The upper cover 2 includes a retaining edge that is inserted into the inner or outer side of the retaining ring 9. The space where the connection pins 18 and the welding piece 14 are located is isolated from the first reduction gear cavity 10 and the right cavity 4. This structural design can ensure that the connection area is separated from the transmission area, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection position and extending its service life.
[0031] The driving shaft of the motor 5 is connected to the driving gear 19, and also includes a shaft 22 and a center shaft 38. The shaft 22 is located in the first reduction gear cavity 10, the upper end of the shaft 22 is connected to the upper cover 2, and the lower end of the shaft 22 is connected to the shell 1. The first reduction gear is assembled on the shaft 22, and the first reduction gear includes a large gear 20 on the upper part that meshes with the driving gear 19 and a small gear 21 on the lower side. The large gear 20 and the small gear 21 are an integrated structure and are coaxially arranged; a second reduction mechanism is provided in the right cavity 4, and the second reduction mechanism is installed in the right cavity 4 and on the center shaft 38. The right chamber 4 houses a ring gear structure 23, with a support step provided on its lower end. It also includes a drive plate 24, on which planetary gears 25 are mounted. These gears mesh with a sun gear 26 mounted on a central shaft 38 at its center, and with the ring gear structure 23 at its edges. Sun gear 26 comprises a large-diameter gear 1 27 and a small-diameter gear 2 28 . Gears 1 27 and 28 are fixedly connected and coaxially arranged. Gear 1 27 meshes with pinion 21. This transmission structure achieves a two-stage reduction, providing reliable output torque. Furthermore, the gear transmission is reliable, stable, and long-lasting.
[0032] The large gear 20 has a groove in the middle, with a support ring in the middle. Six support spokes 29 are positioned between the ring and the inner annular surface of the groove. Three arcuate support bars 30 are positioned between adjacent spokes 29, alternating between them. The drive plate 24 is located within the limiting step, and a splined output connector is mounted in the middle of the drive plate 24.
[0033] In order to ensure the quietness of the transmission and increase the strength of the shell, the right cavity 4 is a double-layer structure, including an inner sleeve 31 and an outer sleeve 32. The inner sleeve 31 and the outer sleeve 32 are coaxially arranged, and a supporting vertical bar 33 is arranged between the inner sleeve 31 and the outer sleeve 32. The lower end face of the inner sleeve 31 is located on the inner side of the lower end face of the outer sleeve 32.
[0034] Extending from the exterior of the outer sleeve 32 are mounting ears 34 for secure connection to the caliper body. Inside these ears are reinforced structures 35 in the shape of a "human" (H). These structures support the outer walls of the left and right cavities 3 and 4, as well as the inner walls of the mounting ears 34. Arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 36 are also provided between the outer walls of the left and right cavities 3 and 4. The "human"-shaped structure has three supporting edges, ensuring that each edge will not deform under load.
