[0031] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, when the term "connection" or the like appears to indicate a connection relationship between components, such term should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be internal communication between two components or an interaction relationship between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a dual-output motor comprising a housing 10, a power mechanism 20 mounted on the housing 10, and an output mechanism 30. The power mechanism 20 comprises a drive assembly 21 and a reduction assembly 22 connected to the drive assembly 21. The drive assembly 21 can be configured as an electric motor or a motor module to output power when energized. Preferably, the housing 10 is configured as a tubular structure with a threading hole formed therein to guide the wires of the power mechanism 20.

[0033] Preferably, the reduction gear assembly 22 includes at least one reduction gear set 23, each of which adjusts the torque and speed of the drive assembly 21. Preferably, the reduction gear set 23 can be configured as one, two, or three stages. Multi-stage speed change can provide a wider range of speed changes.

[0034] The output shaft of the drive assembly 21 is connected to the reduction assembly 22 to adjust the torque and speed output by the drive assembly 21. Preferably, the output shaft of the drive assembly 21 is pluggably connected to the reduction assembly 22 to enable quick plug-and-unplug transmission between the two. Specifically, the output shaft of the drive assembly 21 and the first-stage reduction gear set 23 of the reduction assembly 22 have a convex shaft and groove structure that plugs and fits together. For example, the output shaft of the drive assembly 21 may be provided with a convex shaft structure such as a rectangular shaft, a hexagonal shaft, or a chamfered shaft, and the first-stage reduction gear set 23 may be provided with a matching groove structure to facilitate power transmission.

[0035] The output mechanism 30 includes a transmission shaft 31 and a positioning member 32 fixed to one end of the transmission shaft 31. The positioning member 32 is drivingly connected to the reduction assembly 22 and rotates relative to the housing 10. The transmission shaft 31 and / or the positioning member 32 constitute a first output end. The transmission shaft 31 is a shaft-shaped structural member, and the positioning member 32 is fixedly integrated with the transmission shaft 31. The positioning member 32 is located at one end of the transmission shaft 31 and can both stabilize the position of the transmission shaft 31 and transmit torque to the transmission shaft 31. The positioning member 32 is connected to the reduction assembly 22 to transmit torque and the corresponding speed.

[0036] The transmission shaft 31 is fixed to the positioning member 32, and can synchronously transmit torque and rotational speed. Optionally, when the positioning member 32 serves as a support structure for supporting and limiting the transmission shaft 31, the transmission shaft 31 serves as a power output portion. Optionally, when the positioning member 32 serves as a power output portion, the transmission shaft 31 transmits and outputs the torque through the positioning member 32. When the positioning member 32 serves as a power output portion, the length of the transmission shaft 31 can be shortened, and its structure and transmission method can be flexibly adjusted according to different application scenarios. For example, the positioning member 32 is provided with a groove structure, and the connecting part of the curtain can be inserted into the positioning member 32 by plugging. Alternatively, the positioning member 32 is provided with a convex shaft structure, and the convex shaft structure is plugged into the connecting part of the curtain. Wherein, the groove or the convex shaft is provided with a transmission surface.

[0037] The other end of the transmission shaft 31 passes through the reduction assembly 22 and the drive assembly 21 and extends to the other end of the housing 10 to form a second output end. The transmission shaft 31 passes through the hole area of ​​the reduction assembly 22 and the drive assembly 21 to form a second output end, thereby constructing a dual-output motor.

[0038] Therefore, the dual-output motor utilizes a single power mechanism 20 to achieve dual output functionality, simplifying the assembly of the drive assembly 21 and reduction assembly 22 and reducing overall installation space. The same drive shaft 31 provides both outputs, ensuring high output consistency. The extended length of the drive shaft 31 is adjustable to accommodate dual-output motors of varying specifications, allowing for flexible sizing.

[0039] In one embodiment, the output mechanism 30 includes a fixing member 34 mounted to the housing 10 and / or the reduction assembly 22. A receiving cavity is formed between the fixing member 34 and the reduction assembly 22, and the rotation of the positioning member 32 is confined within the receiving cavity. The fixing member 34 is used to define the axial and radial movement space of the positioning member 32, thereby limiting the range of motion of the positioning member 32. Preferably, the fixing member 34 and the reduction assembly 22 are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection to form a quick-disconnect connection.

[0040] In one embodiment, the output mechanism 30 includes a rotating member 33 fixedly connected to the drive shaft 31. The power mechanism 20 is located between the rotating member 33 and the positioning member 32. The rotating member 33 and / or the drive shaft 31 constitute the second output end. The rotating member 33 and the positioning member 32 are located at either end of the drive shaft 31, jointly supporting and restraining the drive shaft 31 to further maintain the smooth rotation of the drive shaft 31. Optionally, when the rotating member 33 serves as a support structure to support and restrain the drive shaft 31, the drive shaft 31 serves as the power output location. Alternatively, when the rotating member 33 serves as the power output location, the drive shaft 31 transmits torque through the rotating member 33. The structure and transmission method of the rotating member 33 as the power output location can be flexibly adjusted to suit different application scenarios. For example, the rotating member 33 can be provided with a groove structure, and the curtain connection portion can be plugged into the rotating member 33. Alternatively, the rotating member 33 can be provided with a protruding shaft structure, which plugs into the curtain connection portion. Both the groove and the protruding shaft are provided with a transmission surface.

[0041] More preferably, the rotating member 33 and the positioning member 32 are symmetrical structures to form arbitrary end assembly and power output.

[0042] In one embodiment, the output mechanism 30 further includes a support member 36 mounted on the housing 10. The support member 36 is positioned between the rotating member 33 and the power mechanism 20, and the transmission shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the support member 36. The support member 36 is fixedly connected to the housing 10 and divides the space within the housing 10. The transmission shaft 31 passes through the support member 36 and is connected to the rotating member 33. Optionally, the support member 36 is provided with a rotation hole, and the transmission shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the rotation hole. Preferably, the support member 36 is mounted with a bearing 37, and the transmission shaft 31 is connected to the bearing 37 to enhance rotational flexibility.

[0043] Furthermore, the output mechanism 30 includes a stopper 35, which is a sleeve, cover, or hole-shaped structure. The stopper 35 is connected to the support member 36 or the housing 10. A limit cavity is formed between the stopper 35 and the support member 36, and the rotating member 33 is rotatably confined within the limit cavity. The cavity wall defines the outer circumference and end surface of the rotating member 33, thereby preventing radial and axial movement of the rotating member 33.

[0044] Preferably, the stopper 35 is snap-fitted to the support member 36. The support member 36 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart plug-in bosses and snap-fit ​​grooves distributed between the plug-in bosses. The stopper 35 is provided with mating bosses and snap-fit ​​ribs. The mating bosses are plugged and complementary to the plug-in bosses, and the snap-fit ​​ribs are elastically snap-fitted to the snap-fit ​​grooves. The snap-fit ​​connection between the stopper 35 and the support member 36 forms a flush tubular structure that quickly limits the rotational member 33 and improves assembly convenience.

[0045] In one embodiment, the reduction assembly 22 and the positioning member 32 are connected to transmit torque, and the two can be plugged into each other to transmit torque; or the positioning member 32 and the reduction assembly 22 are connected by gear meshing to transmit torque.

[0046] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the reduction assembly 22 is composed of one or more reduction gear groups 23, thereby forming a rich torque and speed adjustment method. Among them, the reduction gear group 23 includes a central gear 234, a gear frame 232, at least one planetary gear 233 installed on the gear frame 232, and a sun gear 231 provided on the housing 10, and the planetary gears 233 are respectively engaged with the central gear 234 and the sun gear 231. The reduction gear group 23 constitutes a planetary gear mechanism to form a reduction transmission. Preferably, the gear frame 232 is equipped with three planetary gears 233, each of which is engaged with the sun gear 231 and the central gear 234 to form a smooth rotation, and the torque and speed output by the gear frame 232 are stable.

[0047] It is worth mentioning that when the reduction assembly 22 is provided with two or more stages, the central gear 234 of the next stage is fixed to the gear rack 232 of the previous stage, and the central gear 234 of the first stage is fixed to the driving assembly 21. The central gear 234 and the planetary gear 233 can adopt straight tooth meshing or helical tooth meshing.

[0048] Further preferably, in the reduction gear set 23 connected to the drive assembly 21, the central gear 234, the planetary gears 233 and the sun gear 231 all use matching helical teeth. That is, the first-stage reduction gear set 23 uses helical gear meshing transmission to reduce noise.

[0049] Preferably, the reduction gear set 23 has two or more stages. The sun gear 231 in the reduction assembly 22 is integrally formed, and the central gear 234, planetary gears 233, and sun gear 231 of the second and subsequent stages all utilize mating spur teeth. The integral formation of the sun gear 231 achieves balanced force distribution throughout the meshing transmission, improving assembly convenience. The second and subsequent stages of the reduction gear set 23 all utilize spur teeth, allowing for a wide range of reduction stages, enabling high torque and low speed output, and highly controllable output torque and speed.

[0050] Preferably, the positioning member 32 constitutes the gear carrier 232 in the final reduction gear set 23. The positioning member 32 serves as an adapter connecting the reduction assembly 22 and the transmission shaft 31. The planetary gears 233 are mounted on the positioning member 32 and mesh with the central gear 234 of the previous stage. This not only makes rotation more stable, but also allows for controllable axial and radial movable positions of the positioning member 32, and the installation position space is controllable.

[0051] Preferably, a torque hole is provided at the center of the positioning member 32, and the torque hole is provided with at least one torque surface for transmitting power. The transmission shaft 31 is provided with a transmission surface that matches the torque hole to achieve matching transmission.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the drive assembly 21 and the reduction assembly 22 are provided with a central through-hole 211, through which the transmission shaft 31 passes. The axis of rotation of the transmission shaft 31 coincides with the axis of the central through-hole 211. The drive assembly 21 is configured as a motor, with the central through-hole 211 provided on the shaft portion. The gear rack 232 and the center gear 234 of the reduction assembly 22 are coaxially provided with the central through-hole 211. The diameter of the central through-hole 211 is larger than the diameter of the transmission shaft 31. The transmission shaft 31 passes through the drive assembly 21 and the reduction assembly 22, thereby forming a single-motor dual-drive output, and the position of the dual-drive output can be flexibly adjusted.
