[0040] The inner ring structure 301 and the outer ring structure 401 are connected with the bearing track 2, so that the rigid wheel 302, the flexible wheel 402, the inner ring structure 301 and the outer ring structure 401 can be connected with each other and combined closely, the tightness of the combination of the internal structures of the speed reducer is increased, the internal structures can still operate stably when the speed reducer operates at high speed, and the materials of the inner ring structure 301 and the outer ring structure 401 make the weight of the speed reducer smaller than that of a conventional speed reducer in which each component is made of iron, so that the speed reducer of the application operates more lightly and reduces the burden of the driving motor.
[0041] The bearing track 2 includes an inner ring 201 and an outer ring 202, the inner ring 201 and the outer ring 202 are provided with rollers, the inner ring 201 and the outer ring 202 are provided with track oil paths 203, the outer ring structure 401 is provided with a lubricating grease supplement channel 4011, the inner ring structure 301 is provided with a pressure relief circuit 3015, and the outer ring structure 401 is further provided with an oil seal 406, the oil seal 406 is arranged on the side of the rigid wheel 302, the lubricating grease supplement channel 4011 is further provided with a plug 5, when the lubricating grease is added, the plug 5 is removed, the lubricating grease is injected from the lubricating grease supplement channel 4011, and the lubricating grease can enter the first storage space between the oil seal 406 and the bearing track 2 and the second storage space between the bearing track 2 and the flexible wheel 402 through the lubricating grease supplement channel 4011, with the engagement and rotation between the flexible wheel 402 and the rigid wheel 302, the lubricating grease can penetrate between the inner teeth 3021 and the outer teeth 4021, so that the inner teeth 3021 and the outer teeth 4021 are not damaged after multiple engagements, and the operation of the flexible wheel 402 and the rigid wheel 302 is more smooth, and the lubricating grease can also play a heat conducting role, the heat generated by the high-speed operation of the flexible wheel 402 and the rigid wheel 302 can be quickly dissipated to the outside through the lubricating grease and other components, and deformation of the flexible wheel 402 and the rigid wheel 302 due to high temperature is avoided.
