[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 4An improved reducer includes a motor unit 100 and a reduction unit. The reduction unit includes a housing 200. The housing 200 contains a sun gear shaft 210, planetary gears 220, a ring gear 230, and a planet carrier 240. The sun gear shaft 210 is connected to the motor unit 100. The planet carrier 240 is provided with an assembly cavity 241 for assembling the planetary gears 220. The planet carrier 240 is equipped with a pin 250 for mounting the planetary gears 220. The ends of the pin 250 are mounted on the frame walls on both sides of the assembly cavity 241.

[0024] Compared to the prior art, the present invention can precisely control the preload force. Its structure is as follows: One end of the pin 250 is a large end 251. A first through hole 242 is provided on the wall corresponding to the large end 251. The inner wall of the first through hole 242 is divided into a smooth section and a threaded section. The large end 251 is located within the smooth section, and the end surface of the large end 251 facing the assembly cavity 241 protrudes from the cavity wall. A pressing block 253 for applying pressure to the pin 250 is installed in the threaded section. The other end of the pin 250 is a small end 252. A second through hole 243 for mounting the small end 252 is provided on the wall corresponding to the small end 252. A first gasket 254 is installed on the side of the second through hole 243 facing the assembly cavity 241. The end surface of the first gasket 254 facing the assembly cavity 241 protrudes from the cavity wall. A positioning groove 255 is provided on the side of the small end 252 of the pin 250, and a positioning hole is provided on one side of the second through hole 243. A set screw 256 is installed in the positioning hole, and the bottom of the set screw 256 abuts against the positioning groove 255. The cooperation between the positioning groove 255 and the set screw 256 further improves the stability of the pin 250 and prevents it from rotating.

[0025] Furthermore, the planetary gear 220 is mounted on the pin 250 via two sets of symmetrically arranged tapered roller bearings 221. The inner ring of one set of tapered roller bearings 221 abuts against the large end 251, while the inner ring of the other set abuts against the first washer 254. A through slot for mounting the tapered roller bearings 221 is provided in the center of the planetary gear 220. This slot is provided with a positioning structure between the two sets of tapered roller bearings 221. This positioning structure includes a retaining spring 222 and two sets of second washer 223. The retaining spring 222 is fixedly engaged with the inner wall of the slot. The two sets of second washer 223 abut against either side of the retaining spring 222, respectively. The tapered roller bearings 221 abut against the second washer 223. The retaining spring 222 and the second washer 223 cooperate to position the facing surfaces of the bearings, ensuring accurate installation of the bearings and improving transmission stability.

[0026] To ensure the stability of the planetary gear transmission, a bearing hole is centrally located on the planet carrier 240. The sun gear shaft 210 is assembled and connected to the bearing hole via a thrust cylindrical roller bearing 211. The thrust cylindrical roller bearing 211 can withstand significant axial forces, ensuring stable operation of the sun gear. The sun gear shaft 210 and the planetary gears 220 feature a helical helical gear structure. This reduces operating noise and improves transmission smoothness. The planet carrier 240 is provided with a raised step, which is supported by a shaft. An angular contact bearing 244 is mounted on the shaft. The inner ring of the angular contact bearing 244 rests on the raised step, and the outer ring of the angular contact bearing 244 is assembled and connected to the housing 200. The angular contact bearing 244 can withstand significant axial forces, improving the stability of the reducer. An oil seal seat 201 is mounted on one side of the housing 200, and the outer ring of the angular contact bearing 244 on the same side rests against the oil seal seat 201. The oil seal seat 201 is provided with a mounting groove, in which a wave spring 202 is mounted to abut against the angular contact bearing 244. After the housing 200 is assembled, the wave spring 202 is compressed to generate a preload force, which preloads the bearing clearance and prevents movement caused by the bearing clearance.

[0027] In addition, a plurality of weight-reducing holes 224 are arranged around the planetary gear 220. This design reduces the weight of the planetary gear 220, reduces the starting inertia, improves the starting speed and responsiveness, and is also beneficial to heat dissipation.

[0028] The protection scope of the present invention includes but is not limited to the above embodiments. The protection scope of the present invention is based on the claims. Any replacement, deformation, and improvement of the technology that can be easily thought of by technicians in this field fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
