[0031] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0034] like Figures 1-10The diagram shows a small-ratio single planetary gear coupled motor, comprising a housing 1 and a rotor and a stator disposed within the housing 1. The stator includes a stator core and a coil disposed on the stator core. The rotor includes a rotor core and a motor shaft 2 passing through the rotor core. A planetary gear set is disposed inside the housing 1 on the inner side of the coil. The planetary gear set includes a planet carrier 3, a sun gear shaft 4, and a ring gear 5. A support frame 16 is fixedly connected to or integrally formed at the end of the motor shaft 2. The ring gear 5 is fixedly connected to or integrally formed at the outer axial end of the support frame 16. A connecting shaft 6 is formed on the inner axial end of the planet carrier 3. Multiple planetary gears 7 that mesh with the ring gear 5 are mounted on the planet carrier 3. The sun gear shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The inner axial end of the sun gear shaft 4 extends into the planet carrier 3 and meshes with the multiple planetary gears 7. A connecting cavity 8 for external connection is formed between the sun gear shaft 4 and the connecting shaft 6. Multiple connecting keys 9 are provided on the inner wall of the connecting shaft 6.
[0035] In the above technical solution, a planetary gear set is installed inside the housing. The planetary gear set includes a ring gear, a sun gear shaft, and a planet carrier. A support frame is fixed or formed on the motor shaft. The support frame is fixedly connected to the ring gear or integrally formed. The planetary gears on the planet carrier mesh with the ring gear. Therefore, the rotation of the motor shaft and the ring gear together drives the planetary gears and the planet carrier to rotate. A connecting key is installed in the connecting shaft on the planet carrier for external transmission. The sun gear shaft is fixed to the housing and supports the multiple planetary gears.
[0036] With a gear ring input, a fixed sun gear shaft, and a planetary carrier output, the coupled motor achieves a speed reduction and torque increase effect, eliminating the need for a speed reducer and significantly reducing motor size. The motor thickness can be halved, effectively lowering costs. Simultaneously, the planetary gear set is located within the winding coil, resulting in a more compact internal structure and saving installation space.
[0037] The rotation of the motor shaft drives the gear ring to rotate, which in turn drives the planetary gears and planet carrier to rotate, achieving a small speed ratio and meeting the requirements of high speed.
[0038] Furthermore, an assembly groove 10 is provided at the end of the motor shaft 2, and the connecting shaft 6 extends into the assembly groove 10. An outer ring stamped roller bearing 11 is fitted onto the connecting shaft 6 within the assembly groove 10. In this technical solution, the assembly groove on the motor shaft allows the connecting shaft to extend into the assembly groove, further reducing the axial dimension of the motor, and the outer ring stamped roller bearing reduces friction between the motor shafts.
[0039] Furthermore, a retainer 12 is fitted onto the sun gear shaft 4, and the retainer 12 is press-fitted onto the axial outer end of the planet carrier 3. The retainer 12 is fixedly connected to the gear ring 5. In this technical solution, a retainer is provided on their axial outer side to maintain the stability of the gear ring and the planet carrier, thereby improving the overall stability of the planetary gear set.
[0040] Furthermore, the axial outer end of the gear ring 5 protrudes with multiple locking blocks 13, and the surface of the retainer 12 is provided with multiple locking grooves 14 that mate with the locking blocks 13. First bolts 15 are screwed into the locking blocks 13 and the locking grooves 14 to fix the gear ring 5 and the retainer 12. In this technical solution, the locking blocks on the gear ring mate with the locking grooves on the retainer, and are then tightened with the first bolts, which greatly improves the connection strength between the gear ring and the retainer.
[0041] Furthermore, the inner bottom surfaces of the support frame 16 and the cage 12 are provided with steps, which decrease in height from the outside to the inside. The innermost step is provided with an annular roller bearing 17 that abuts against the planetary carrier 3. In this technical solution, the inner bottom surfaces of the support frame and the cage are provided with steps, which decrease in height from the outside to the inside. The annular roller bearing is placed on the innermost, lowest step, which reduces the mating thickness of the annular roller bearing and further reduces the axial dimension of the motor.
[0042] Furthermore, the planetary carrier 3 has multiple connecting windows 18 circumferentially arranged on its sidewall. Planetary gears 7, extending out of the sidewall of the planetary carrier 3, are installed within each connecting window 18. These planetary gears 7 are regularly arranged circumferentially on the planetary carrier 3. In this technical solution, the connecting windows facilitate the extension of the planetary gears, while the columns separating adjacent connecting windows ensure the planetary carrier maintains high stability. Specifically, in this case, four planetary gears are regularly arranged.
[0043] Furthermore, a rear end cover 19 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the cage 12, and a connecting sleeve 20 is formed at the axial outer end of the cage 12, on which a deep groove ball bearing 21 is fitted. In this technical solution, the deep groove ball bearing on the connecting sleeve of the cage serves to provide support and reduce friction.
[0044] Furthermore, an end plate 22 is formed at the axial outer end of the sun gear shaft 4. The end plate 22 abuts against the outer wall of the rear end cover 19, and the end plate 22 and the rear end cover 19 are fixedly connected by multiple second bolts 23. In this technical solution, the end plate on the sun gear shaft facilitates the fixing of the sun gear shaft to the rear end cover. The end plate has a certain area and abuts against the outer wall of the rear end cover before being fastened by multiple second bolts, resulting in high stability.
