TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to vehicle drive device technical field more specifically relates to a kind of electric pallet truck drive. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the current logistics handling equipment field, electric pallet truck and electric stacker as important material handling tools, are widely used in various warehouse, logistics and industrial production scene. At present, the drive of electric pallet truck and electric stacker on the market mostly adopts motor and wheel coaxial design, this design exposes many drawbacks in practical application.
[0003] From the installation and maintenance point of view, when the wheel needs to be replaced due to wear, since the motor and the wheel are coaxial, it is necessary to remove the motor parts, which is quite cumbersome, and requires professional technicians and specific tools to complete. Moreover, frequent removal and installation of motor parts not only consumes a lot of time and labor cost, but also easily causes damage to the motor and related parts during operation, thereby increasing the equipment failure rate. For example, in some large logistics warehouses, electric pallet trucks are used frequently, and the wheels wear out quickly, so frequent replacement of wheels significantly increases the downtime maintenance time of the equipment, seriously affecting the efficiency of logistics operations.
[0004] In terms of sealing performance, the existing design cannot achieve good sealing. In actual working environment, especially in some dusty factory workshops, or places that may come into contact with liquids such as food processing and chemical storage, dust and liquid can easily enter the gear box through the gap between the wheel and other parts. As a key part of the transmission system of the equipment, the gear box will accelerate the wear and corrosion of the gears once dust and liquid enter. Dust particles can cause abrasion during gear meshing, damaging the precision and smoothness of the gear surface; while liquid can cause the gears to rust, resulting in a decrease in the precision of the gear-to-gear fit, ultimately causing gear damage, reducing the transmission efficiency of the equipment, and even making it impossible to operate normally.
[0005] In addition, the existing design exposes the electromagnetic brake directly without any protective measures, which makes the electromagnetic brake vulnerable to bumps during daily use of the equipment. In narrow warehouse corridors, the pallet truck may collide with shelves, walls, etc. The exposed electromagnetic brake is the first to be hit, and after being hit by external force, the internal structure may be deformed or damaged, affecting the normal performance of the brake. Moreover, in some humid working environments, the electromagnetic brake is also prone to water ingress. Water entering the electromagnetic brake can cause circuit short circuit, rusting of parts, and other problems, thereby causing brake failure, seriously threatening the safe operation of the equipment and the safety of the operator.

In actual equipment maintenance, maintenance personnel do not need complex tools and professional skills to quickly disassemble and install the wheel, greatly shortening the equipment maintenance time and improving the utilization rate of the equipment. For example, in a logistics warehouse, the interruption time of the carrying operation caused by equipment maintenance can be reduced, and the efficiency of goods carrying can be improved. At the same time, the simplified disassembly process reduces the technical requirements for maintenance personnel, reduces the risk of secondary damage to the equipment caused by improper maintenance operation, and further reduces the maintenance cost of the equipment.
