The output shaft of the travel motor 31 passes through the push-pull electromagnet 32 and is connected to a spline gear 36. The spline gear 36 meshes with the spline sleeve 35. The driving bevel gear 33 is horizontally arranged and its upper end is connected to a spline shaft 37. The spline sleeve 35 is fitted to the outer circumferential surface of the spline shaft 37. The driven bevel gear 34 is vertically arranged and its side is connected to a connecting shaft 38. The other side of the driven bevel gear 34 meshes with the driving bevel gear 33. A thrust bearing is connected between the push-pull electromagnet 32 and the spline sleeve 35.
[0032] In this embodiment, the walking motor 31 is a servo motor. A push-pull electromagnet 32 is sleeved on the outside of the output shaft of the servo motor. The lower end of the push-pull electromagnet 32 is connected to the top surface of the thrust bearing. The bottom surface of the thrust bearing after passing through the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the spline sleeve 35. A limit switch is installed in the initial position of the spline sleeve 35. The limit switch is connected to a green indicator light or a buzzer alarm device.
[0033] Power is transmitted to the spline gear 36 through the walking motor 31, the spline gear 36 is connected with the spline sleeve 35, and the power is disconnected normally. When the walking motor 31 is powered, the push-pull electromagnet 32 is synchronously powered, at this time the movable iron core and the push rod of the push-pull electromagnet 32 move to generate a pushing force to drive the spline sleeve 35 to move downward to make the inner tooth ring engage with the spline shaft 37, at this time the torque can be transmitted to the driving bevel gear 33, and the power is transmitted to the connecting shaft 37 through the driving bevel gear 34. The spline sleeve 35 can rotate with the lower end surface of the thrust bearing between the push-pull electromagnet 32 and the spline sleeve 35, which ensures that the spline sleeve 35 can rotate freely during the downward movement to avoid jamming. The upper end surface of the thrust bearing is connected and fixed with the push-pull electromagnet 32 to ensure that the push-pull electromagnet 32 can only move up and down while not rotating with the shaft or the spline sleeve 35. When the walking motor 31 is powered off, the push-pull electromagnet 32 is powered off, at this time the spline sleeve 35 is automatically reset under the action of the spring force, and touches the travel switch when reset to the initial position, at this time the green indicator light is on, indicating that the electromagnetic clutch 3 is disconnected completely.
