[0002] Campervans provide simple transportation for people in the outdoors, and their compact and lightweight features make them ideal for carrying outdoors. Most current campervans are manually operated push-pull models, but with product improvements, some self-propelled campervans have also appeared on the market, making it easier to move large items or multiple items.

[0003] Some existing power-assisted camping vehicles generally use a motor to directly drive the wheels. When encountering rough or uneven roads or steep inclines, they often suffer from insufficient power and difficulty in climbing and getting out of trouble. Although some drag-resistant camping vehicles are also equipped with a deceleration mechanism, the existing deceleration mechanism is large, the deceleration effect is not obvious, and it also produces a lot of noise, affecting the user experience.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a reduction mechanism for a camping trailer includes a motor 5, a reducer, and a housing. The reducer includes a worm gear 3 and a worm 8 that are rotatably disposed within the housing and drive each other. The motor 5 is disposed on one side of the worm 8, and the shaft of the motor 5 is driven by a gear meshing with one end of the worm 8. The housing is also provided with a through hole 13 to facilitate the connection between the worm gear 3 and the wheel.

[0031] The motor 5's shaft is parallel to the worm gear 8, and the motor 5 and worm gear 8 are located on the same side of the gear meshing surface. Positioning the motor on one side of the worm gear and arranging the shaft parallel to the worm gear further reduces the overall size and increases assembly convenience.

[0032] One end of the housing extends to form a mounting plate 12. The motor 5 is fixed to the mounting plate 12, and the shaft of the motor 5 passes through the mounting plate 12 and is fixed with a small gear 10. One end of the worm gear 8 is rotatably mounted inside the housing via a bearing C6, and the other end of the worm gear 8 passes through the housing and is fixed with a large gear 9. The small gear 10 and the large gear 9 mesh and drive each other. This meshing transmission method of the large and small gears can improve the reduction ratio.

[0033] The housing includes a first half-shell 1 and a second half-shell 7 that are joined and fixed together, and a cover 11 is fastened and fixed to one end of the first half-shell 1 and the second half-shell 7. One end of the second half-shell 7 or the first half-shell 1 extends outward to form a mounting plate 12, which facilitates the installation and fixing of the motor. In addition, the cover can cover the pinion and gear, which can prevent external dust, moisture and other substances from entering the gears and affecting the gear meshing and transmission, thereby extending the service life; on the other hand, it can also isolate and reduce the noise generated by the gear transmission.

[0034] The cover 11 also contains a bearing chamber, which houses a bearing C6. The other end of the worm gear 8 passes through the large gear 9 and connects to the bearing C6. This structure ensures that both ends of the worm gear have bearings, resulting in smoother operation.

[0035] A boss 14 is provided on one side of the worm gear 3. A bearing A2 is fitted over the boss 14, and the outer ring of the bearing A2 is fixed to the first half-shell 1. A through hole 13 is provided on the first half-shell 1, and at least a portion of the boss is located within the through hole 13. A connecting groove is also provided on the boss 14. The boss not only enables the rotation of the worm gear but also provides an interface for the connection between the reduction mechanism and the wheel, reducing the installation difficulty.

[0036] The second half-shell 7 also includes a positioning post 15, and the other side of the worm gear 3 is rotatably mounted on the positioning post 15 via bearing B 4. Bearings are provided on both sides of the worm gear, improving its operational stability. The positioning post 15 is a hollow cylindrical tube, and a circular hole is provided on the second half-shell 7, communicating with the positioning post 15. The worm gear 3 has a through hole, and the positioning post 15 is at least partially located within the through hole. This structure allows the axle to pass through the reduction mechanism, enabling one reduction mechanism to simultaneously drive two wheels.

[0037] The assembly steps of this utility model are as follows:

[0038] First, install bearing C6 into one end of worm 8, then install worm 8 into the second half-shell 7, with the other end of worm 8 penetrating through the second half-shell 7 before installing the large gear 9.

[0039] Then, the motor 5 is fixed on the mounting plate (in this embodiment, the mounting plate is formed by the extension of the second half shell 7), and a small gear 10 is installed on the rotating shaft that passes through the mounting plate, so that the large gear 9 and the small gear 10 mesh and drive; the cover 11 is fastened to the large gear 9 and the small gear 10 and is fastened to the mounting plate 12.

[0040] Finally, bearings A2 and B4 are installed on both sides of the worm gear 3, and then the worm gear 3 is installed into the second half-shell 7, and the first half-shell 1 and the second half-shell 7 are fixed.

[0041] During operation, the rotation of motor 5 drives the small gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the large gear 9 to rotate. The rotation of large gear 9 causes the worm 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 3 to rotate, thereby achieving speed reduction and reducing noise.

[0042] The reduction mechanism of this utility model adopts a two-stage reduction transmission method of motor and worm, and worm and turbine, which greatly increases the reduction ratio, making the camper vehicle more powerful and meeting the needs of use in various road conditions; the motor is arranged on one side of the worm, which can reduce the overall size and facilitate assembly; at the same time, the worm gear transmission method reduces the generation of noise and improves the user experience.
