The planetary gears are mounted on the primary carrier's axles via sleeves, with the sleeves and planetary gears positioned by a cover plate, which is secured to the carrier with countersunk screws. Stable sleeve placement on the axles requires high machining precision for both the sleeves and the axles. However, the integrated axles on the primary carrier are complex and difficult to manufacture. Furthermore, the planetary carrier assembly system is complex, making assembly cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0023] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a planetary carrier assembly, including a planetary carrier 1 and a plurality of planetary gears 2, wherein the plurality of planetary gears 2 are arranged around the planetary carrier 1, and a plurality of mounting grooves 11 are radially opened on the side wall of the planetary carrier 1, and an axial hole 12 is opened through the center of the planetary carrier 1, and the mounting groove 11 is connected to the axial hole 12, thereby ensuring that the planetary gears 2 can mesh with the sun gear in the axial hole 12 for transmission.

[0025] More specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the part of the planet carrier 1 located in the mounting groove 11 is penetrated by a mounting hole 13, and several mounting holes 13 are parallel to the shaft hole 12, and then several mounting holes 13 are arranged in a circumferential array along the shaft hole 12. At the same time, a planet shaft 3 is passed through the mounting hole 13, and the planetary gear 2 is rotatably set on the planet shaft 3, and the planetary gear 2 is located in the mounting groove 11; it also includes a gasket 5 and a bearing 6, the bearing 6 is sleeved on the part of the planet shaft 3 located in the mounting groove 11, and the planetary gear 2 is sleeved on the bearing 6, and then is rotatably connected to the planet shaft 3 through the bearing 6; two gaskets 5 are also sleeved on the planet shaft 3, and the two gaskets 5 are respectively abutted against the two sides of the bearing 6 for protecting the bearing 6 and limiting the bearing 6, thereby limiting the position of the planetary gear 2 in the mounting groove 11 to avoid friction between the planetary gear 2 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 11.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a locking pin 4. A plurality of locking holes 14 are arranged in a circumferential array on the side wall of the planet carrier 1. The locking holes 14 are arranged along the radial direction of the planet carrier 1. Pin holes 31 are provided on the planetary shaft 3 along its radial direction. The locking pin 4 is inserted into the locking holes 14 and the pin holes 31. In specific implementation, it is only necessary to insert the planetary shaft 3 from one side of the mounting hole 13, then pass through the gasket 5, bearing 6 and gasket 5 located in the mounting groove 11 in sequence, and then pass out from the other side of the mounting hole 13. The locking pin 4 is then inserted into the locking hole 14 and the pin hole 31. The planetary shaft 3 is fixed to the planet carrier 1 by the locking pin 4, thereby providing a good rotation foundation for the planetary gear 2. While meeting the use strength, the overall structure is simple and the installation is convenient and quick.

[0027] More specifically, Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a positioning groove 15 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole 13, and a positioning block 32 is provided on the side wall of the planetary shaft 3. When the planetary shaft 3 is installed in the mounting hole 13, the locking hole 14 is aligned with the pin hole 31 by engaging the positioning block 32 with the positioning groove 15. In a specific implementation, the notch of the positioning groove 15 is provided with a flared opening 16. The flared opening 16 can facilitate the positioning block 32 to quickly align with the positioning groove 15 and then smoothly enter the positioning groove 15. At the same time, a cone head 33 can be provided at one end of the positioning block 32 near the bottom of the positioning groove 15 to facilitate the rapid docking of the positioning block 32 with the positioning groove 15 and thus align the pin hole 31 with the locking hole 14. At the same time, when the positioning block 32 is fully placed in the positioning groove 15, it can also limit the planetary shaft 3 to prevent it from excessive or insufficient axial movement when coaxially docking with the mounting hole 13. This greatly facilitates the installation of the planetary shaft 3, has a simple structure, and improves the overall installation efficiency.

[0028] As one of the embodiments, the locking pin 4 is a spring pin, which is a headless hollow cylindrical body with an axial groove and chamfered ends. It has good elasticity and shear resistance. The outer diameter of the spring pin is slightly larger than the aperture of the locking hole 14 and the pin hole 31. Therefore, the friction between the spring pin and the locking hole 14 and the pin hole 31 is greater than the centrifugal force of the spring pin when the planetary carrier 1 rotates, and it will not detach from the locking hole 14 and the pin hole 31, thereby ensuring that the planetary gear shaft 3 is always in the mounting hole 13 and will not detach.

[0029] As another embodiment, the locking pin 4 is threadedly engaged with the locking hole 14; similarly, it also prevents the locking pin 4 from escaping from the locking hole 14 and the pin hole 31, ensuring that the planetary gear shaft 3 is always in the mounting hole 13 and will not escaping, providing a good rotation basis for the planetary gear 2.

[0030] The planetary gear shaft 3 is made of 20CrMnTi and undergoes a heat treatment of carburizing and quenching, resulting in superior strength compared to the transmission structure. This planetary carrier assembly eliminates components such as sleeves and covers, significantly reducing costs. While maintaining structural strength and practical requirements, it also features a simple structure and quick and easy installation, significantly improving production efficiency.

[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
