[0024] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a micro planetary servo, including a housing 10, a power assembly 20 and a potentiometer 30.

[0026] The shell 10 includes a middle shell 11, a bottom shell 12 and an upper shell 13. The middle shell 11 is a hollow structure with openings at both ends. The bottom shell 12 is arranged at the bottom of the middle shell 11 and blocks the bottom opening of the middle shell 11. The upper shell 13 is arranged at the top of the middle shell 11 and blocks the top opening of the middle shell 11.

[0027] In order to improve the sealing performance, gaskets can be further provided at the connection positions of the bottom shell 12 and the upper shell 13 with the middle shell 11 , and the gaskets can be rubber gaskets or metal gaskets.

[0028] The power assembly 20 includes a micro motor 21, a micro planetary reducer 22, a transmission shaft 23 and an output terminal 24. The micro motor 21 and the micro planetary reducer 22 are both encapsulated in the housing 10. The input shaft of the micro planetary reducer 22 is connected to the output shaft of the micro motor 21, and the output terminal 24 is connected to the output shaft of the micro planetary reducer 22.

[0029] The micro motor 21 serves as a power source and drives the micro planetary reducer 22 to rotate after being energized. The micro planetary reducer 22 is used to adjust the output speed of the micro motor 21. The structures of the micro motor 21 and the micro planetary reducer 22 can adopt conventional structures in the field, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0030] One end of the transmission shaft 23 is connected to the output shaft of the micro planetary reducer 22, and the other end is connected to the output terminal 24. The output terminal 24 is located outside the housing 10 at one end away from the transmission shaft 23. The driving force generated by the micro motor 21 is transmitted to the outside world through the micro planetary reducer 22, the transmission shaft 23, and the output terminal 24 in sequence. The output terminal 24 serves as a power output port and is connected to an external component that requires power input. For example, when the micro planetary servo is used in a toy car, the output terminal 24 can be connected to the wheel to drive the toy car.

[0031] The micro motor 21 and the micro planetary reducer 22 are both accommodated in the housing 10 , and specifically in the hollow area of ​​the middle shell 11 .

[0032] The output shaft of the micro motor 21, the input shaft of the micro planetary reducer 22, the output shaft of the micro planetary reducer 22, the transmission shaft 23 and the axis of the output terminal 24 are all located on the same straight line, with a compact structure, which can effectively control the space occupied laterally by the micro planetary servo, so that the micro planetary servo maintains a slender appearance and meets the development needs of miniaturization.

[0033] The transmission shaft 23 has a larger diameter than the output shaft of the micro planetary reducer 22. This increases the diameter and length of the output shaft to meet the installation requirements of the potentiometer 30. The transmission shaft 23 also serves as a transition between the micro planetary reducer 22 and the output terminal 24, ensuring that the output terminal 24 is more compatible with the shaft size of the micro planetary reducer 22.

[0034] The potentiometer 30 is encapsulated in the housing 10 and surrounds the periphery of the transmission shaft 23, and is used to detect the angular position of the micro planetary servo. Its specific structure and measurement principle are conventional technologies in this field and are not limited in this embodiment.

[0035] In this solution, a micro planetary reducer is incorporated into the servo, allowing the micro planetary servo to inherit the functions of both, offering the advantages of both. Furthermore, a transmission shaft 23 is added between the micro planetary reducer 22 and the output terminal 24, enabling smooth installation of the potentiometer 30.

[0036] Furthermore, a partition 110 is provided in the middle shell 11. The partition 110 divides the hollow area of ​​the middle shell 11 into a first chamber 111 and a second chamber 112. The first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 are arranged side by side along the axis of the middle shell 11, with the first chamber 111 being adjacent to the bottom shell 12, and the second chamber 112 being adjacent to the upper shell 13. The micro motor 21 and the micro planetary reducer 22 are encapsulated in the first chamber 111, and the potentiometer 30 is encapsulated in the second chamber 112. Since the potentiometer 30 is a wearing part, it is separately encapsulated in the second chamber 112 to facilitate maintenance and replacement of the potentiometer 30. When disassembling the potentiometer 30, it is not necessary to disassemble the micro motor 21 and the micro planetary reducer 22.

[0037] The partition 110 is penetrated by a through hole 113 , which connects the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 . One end of the transmission shaft 23 is located in the first chamber 111 , and the other end extends through the through hole 113 into the second chamber 112 .

[0038] It should be noted that a bearing needs to be provided on the periphery of the output terminal 24 , which can also adopt a conventional structure in the art.

[0039] Furthermore, the micro planetary servo also includes a control circuit board 40, which is installed in the first chamber 111. The micro motor 21 and the potentiometer 30 are electrically connected to the control circuit board 40, and the control circuit board provides power and controls operation.

[0040] The potentiometer 30 is connected to the control circuit board 40 via a signal line 31. The signal line 31 passes through the partition 110 and is connected to the control circuit board 40 via the first chamber 111. The signal line 31 is also completely encapsulated within the housing 10, which can effectively protect the signal line 31 and extend its service life.

[0041] The embodiments of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the scope of protection of the purpose of the present invention and the claims, all of which are within the protection of the present invention.
