[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A planetary reduction mechanism for an intelligent toilet includes a gear set with several stages of planetary gears and a gearbox. The several stages of planetary gears are installed in the gearbox, which has internal teeth that mesh with each stage of the planetary gears. At least one partition 21 is provided within the gearbox, located between adjacent stages of planetary gears to prevent axial movement and mutual compression between adjacent stages of planetary gears. By providing a partition 21 along the axial direction within the gearbox, two stages of the planetary gears can be separated, preventing mutual compression during axial movement of the planetary gear system. This improves the injection molding deformation of the gearbox, enhances meshing accuracy, and contributes to increased transmission efficiency.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 6Preferably, the partition 21 is provided along the inner circumferential surface of the gearbox to divide the space inside the gearbox into upper and lower regions axially. The partition 21 is also provided with through holes 23 for the planetary gears to pass through. By dividing the inner hole of the gearbox housing 2 into upper and lower parts through the partition 21, two adjacent planetary gears installed in the gearbox housing 2 are separated, reducing mutual compression and ensuring transmission efficiency.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 6 Preferably, the gear set has three stages of planetary gears: a first-stage planetary gear 4, a second-stage planetary gear 5, and a third-stage planetary gear 6. The first-stage planetary gear 4 is in transmission engagement with the second-stage planetary gear 5, and the second-stage planetary gear 5 is in transmission engagement with the third-stage planetary gear 6. The first-stage planetary gear 4, the second-stage planetary gear 5, and the third-stage planetary gear 6 are all located in the gearbox. A partition 21 is provided between the first-stage planetary gear 4 and the second-stage planetary gear 5. And / or, a partition 21 is provided between the second-stage planetary gear 5 and the third-stage planetary gear 6. Specifically, in this embodiment, a partition 21 is provided between the first-stage planetary gear 4 and the second-stage planetary gear 5.
[0027] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 Preferably, the planet carrier 61 of the third-stage planetary gear 6 is provided with a second axial limiting step 63, which is matched with the end face of the gearbox away from the first-stage planetary gear 4. The second axial limiting step 63, with its outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the gearbox's inner bore, restricts the axial movement of the third-stage planetary gear 6, further preventing mutual compression of the planetary gear system and improving transmission efficiency. Alternatively, the second axial limiting step 63 can be omitted, allowing the outer diameter of the planet carrier 61 to be larger than the inner diameter of the gearbox's inner shell 2, thus achieving the same axial limiting effect.
[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Preferably, the gear set is connected to an output shaft 7; the output shaft 7 extends out of the gearbox.
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4Preferably, the last-stage planetary gear of the gear set has a flattened hole 62 or a flattened portion 71, and one end of the output shaft 7 has a flattened portion 71 or a flattened hole 61. The flattened portion 71 is inserted into the flattened hole 62, and the flattened portion 71 and the flattened hole 62 are press-fitted together. The outer circumferential surface of the output shaft 7 has a first axial limiting step 72, which limits the end face of the flattened hole 62. The output shaft 7 is mounted on the output end of the planet carrier 61 of the third-stage planetary gear 6 with a flattened hole 62, and the first axial limiting step 72 is provided on the output shaft 7, which helps to quickly align and install the output shaft 7 with the planet carrier 61 of the third-stage planetary gear 6. Preferably, the output shaft 7 is made of metal, such as stainless steel, and the planet carrier 61 is manufactured using metal metallurgy processes.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Preferably, the gearbox includes a front housing 1, a middle housing 2, and a rear housing 3. The front housing 1 and the rear housing 3 are detachably and fixedly installed at both ends of the middle housing 2, and the gear set and the partition 21 are disposed inside the middle housing. This facilitates installation and disassembly.
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Preferably, the planet carrier 61 of the third-stage planetary gear 6 of the gear set is fixedly connected to the output shaft 7, and the flat hole 62 is provided at the end of the planet carrier 61 of the third-stage planetary gear 6 away from the second-stage planetary gear 5. The output shaft 7 extends out of the front housing 1.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Preferably, the gearbox housing 2 further includes a motor cavity 22, in which a motor 8 is installed. The motor 8 engages with the first-stage planetary gear of the gear set via a series of external gears (e.g., first-stage external gear 9, second-stage external gear 10). This provides a transmission function, driving the rotation of the planetary gears. The first-stage external gear 9 and second-stage external gear 10 are located between the gearbox rear housing 3 and the gearbox housing 2. The housing 2, front housing 1, and rear housing 3 are connected together by fasteners.
[0033] Please see Figure 6 A smart toilet includes a smart toilet seat 11, wherein the smart toilet seat 11 is equipped with a planetary reduction mechanism as described above. By employing the aforementioned gearbox with partitions 21, mutual compression between planetary gears during transmission is avoided, significantly improving transmission efficiency.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0035] Because a partition 21 is provided inside the gearbox housing 2, the first-stage planetary gear 4 is installed from the bottom of the housing 2, and the second-stage planetary gear 5 and the third-stage planetary gear 6 are installed sequentially from the top of the housing 2. Then, the first-stage external gear 9, the second-stage external gear 10, the output shaft 7, the motor 8, the front housing 1, and the rear housing 3 are assembled. Due to the presence of the partition 21 in the housing 2 and the second axial limiting step 63 on the planet carrier 61 of the corresponding third-stage planetary gear 6, the axial movement of the first-stage planetary gear 4, the second-stage planetary gear 5, and the third-stage planetary gear 6 is restricted, which can effectively prevent mutual compression between the planetary gear trains of each stage and help improve transmission efficiency.
