[0047] Working principle of the hub reducer:
[0048] When the end face of the output disc 301 close to one end of the intermediate ring 201 is the second track groove 302, the back cover 401, the intermediate ring 201, the output disc 301, the first spherical roller and the second spherical roller constitute a two-stage speed reduction transmission structure. When working, the shaft 101 is driven to rotate by the motor shaft, the eccentric part of the shaft 101 drives the bearing, i.e. the first bearing, of the intermediate ring 201 to rotate, generating eccentric revolution motion relative to the concentric revolution axis, and further driving the intermediate ring 201 to generate eccentric revolution motion relative to the concentric revolution axis.
[0049] While the intermediate ring 201 is in eccentric revolution motion, the second spherical roller on the back cover 401 engages with the first track groove 203 of the intermediate ring 201, so that the intermediate ring 201 generates rotation motion relative to the eccentric revolution axis. In the process of motion, the second spherical roller engages with the second track groove 302 of the output disc 301, and the rotation motion of the intermediate ring 201 around the eccentric revolution axis is transmitted to the output disc 301, so that the output disc 301 rotates around the concentric revolution axis and outputs rotation speed. Due to the engagement of the first spherical roller with the second track groove 302 of the output disc 301 and the engagement of the second spherical roller with the first track groove 203 of the intermediate ring 201, a certain speed difference is generated at two positions, i.e. the rotation speed of the output disc 301 and the rotation speed of the intermediate ring 201, and the rotation speed of the intermediate ring 201 and the rotation speed of the eccentric shaft. The output disc 301 reduces the output rotation speed and torque. The output disc 301 is detachably connected with the shell 501 and drives the shell 501 to rotate.
[0050] When the end face of the output disc 301 close to one end of the intermediate ring 201 is the second spherical hole 303, the back cover 401, the intermediate ring 201, the output disc 301, the first spherical roller and the second spherical roller constitute a one-stage speed reduction transmission structure. Due to the engagement of the second spherical roller with the first track groove 203 of the intermediate ring 201, a certain speed difference is generated at one position. Similarly, the output disc 301 reduces the output rotation speed and torque.
