[0018] Please refer to the following at the same time Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a safe toy gearbox, including a housing 1, a motor 2, and a transmission assembly 3. The motor 2 and the transmission assembly 3 are fixedly encapsulated as a single unit by the housing 1. The housing 1 includes a first cover 10 and a second cover 20 that can be assembled and fixed. A motor cavity 11 and a gear cavity 12 are adjacently arranged within the first cover 10 and the second cover 20. The motor cavity 11 has a rib plate 111 for supporting and fixing the motor 2, allowing the motor 2 to be fixedly engaged within the motor cavity 11 even with a gap between it and the cavity wall. This arrangement helps dissipate heat from the motor 2. The gear cavity 12 has a positioning plate 121 for supporting and connecting the transmission assembly 3, allowing the transmission assembly 3 to be stably rotated and installed within the gear cavity 12.

[0019] In this embodiment, to facilitate the quick and easy assembly and fixation of the first cover 10 and the second cover 20, and to ensure a sufficiently stable and secure connection between the first cover 10 and the second cover 20, the cover 1 is provided with a first fixing structure 13, a second fixing structure 14, and a third fixing structure 15 for detachably fixing the first cover 10 and the second cover 20. The first fixing structure 13 is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 1 and is correspondingly located at the junction of the motor cavity 11 and the gear cavity 12. The first fixing structure 13 includes a first connecting block 131 and a second connecting block 132 respectively disposed on the first cover 10 and the second cover 20. The first connecting block 131 and the second connecting block 132 are fixed by threaded components. The second fixing structure 14 is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 1 and is located at the external position of the motor cavity 11 and the gear cavity 12. The second fixing structure 14 includes a fastening plate 141 and a fastening block 142 respectively disposed on the first cover 10 and the second cover 20. The fastening plate 141 and the fastening block 142 can be fastened together. The third fixing structure 15 is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 1 and is located at the inner circumference position of the gear cavity 12. The third fixing structure 15 includes a insertion post 151 and a slot 152 respectively disposed on the first cover 10 and the second cover 20. The insertion post 151 and the slot 152 can be inserted together. When the first cover 10 and the second cover 20 need to be assembled and fixed, firstly, press the first cover 10 and the second cover 20 towards each other to make the buckle 141 and the buckle block 142 snap together and fix, and the insert post 151 and the slot 152 insert and fix. Then, fix the first connecting block 131 and the second connecting block 132 with screws or other threaded parts. The operation process is convenient and quick, which helps to improve assembly efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments, the first cover 10 and the second cover 20 can be detachably fixed by other fixing structures or a combination of multiple fixing structures, and the position distribution of each fixing structure can be adjusted adaptively.

[0020] It is understood that the length of the cavity wall forming the motor cavity 11 in the first cover 10 is less than the length of the cavity wall forming the motor cavity 11 in the second cover 20, and the end of the cavity wall forming the motor cavity 11 in the second cover 20 extends towards the first cover 10 and is provided with a latch 16, in which the motor 2 is held and fixed. The above arrangement can increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the motor cavity 11 without the need for additional heat dissipation holes, while keeping the motor 2 firmly fixed in the motor cavity 11. It has the advantages of reasonable structural distribution design and high practicality.

[0021] The transmission assembly 3 includes an output wheel 31 rotatably connected to the outside of the housing 1, a drive gear 32 coaxially connected to the eccentric shaft 311 of the output wheel 31, and an output gear 33 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 2. In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 3 also includes a transmission gear 34, which is a double gear. The larger gear of the double gear meshes with the output gear 33, and the smaller gear meshes with the first gear of the drive gear 32, thereby reducing speed and transmitting power. Of course, in other embodiments, the transmission assembly 3 may also include a transmission gear set composed of other numbers of gears, or the transmission assembly 3 may not have a transmission gear 34, in which case the first gear of the drive gear 32 directly meshes with the output gear 33.

[0022] The output wheel 31 extends outward along its axis and is equipped with a connecting shaft 312. The connecting shaft 312 is connected to the external components of the toy and is used to drive it to swing. The drive gear 32 includes a first gear 321 and a second gear 322. The first gear 321 is connected to the output gear 33 through a transmission gear 34. The first gear 321 has an internal gear ring 3211, which is composed of multiple annularly distributed tooth grooves. The second gear 322 includes a column 3221 and a ring 3222. The column 3221 is fixedly connected to the eccentric shaft 311 through a rotating shaft 35. The ring 3222 is integrally mounted on one end of the column 3221 through multiple connecting blocks 3223. A movable support hole 3224 is formed between any two adjacent connecting blocks 3223. The ring 3222 has tooth blocks 3225 on its outer wall corresponding to each movable support hole 3224, which can cooperate with any tooth groove of the internal gear ring 3211. Under normal operating conditions, the gear 322 is configured such that the toothed block 3225 on the ring 3222 can mesh with the tooth groove of the inner gear ring 3211, allowing the second gear 322 to rotate with the first gear 321 and drive the output wheel 31 to rotate. However, if the output wheel 31 is overloaded and cannot rotate, the ring 3222 remains fixed and cannot rotate with the column 3221. At this time, the toothed block 3225, pushed by the inner gear ring 3211, can move into the movable support hole 3224 and then reset, allowing the inner gear ring 3211 to still rotate on the ring 3222. This serves to prevent slippage, protect the power system, prevent damage, and extend service life.

[0023] In summary, the toy gearbox provided in this embodiment can realize the transmission and termination of power, has overload protection function, and has the advantages of simple and compact structure, small size, high transmission efficiency and accurate transmission, and long service life. It can be applied to a variety of small toys.

[0024] For clarity, certain features described in individual embodiments of the present invention may be used in combination in a single embodiment. Furthermore, various features of the present invention described in individual embodiments may also be used individually or in any suitable form in sub-combinations.
