Specifically, one of the situations existing in the current market is that the output shaft of some motors is designed as an outer spline structure, and its diameter is small. At the same time, the input shaft of the gearbox also adopts an outer spline structure. Because both of them are outer splines, the traditional connection methods such as direct insertion or sleeve connection cannot achieve effective connection.

Therefore, in summary, under the condition that the output shafts of the motor and the gearbox are both outer splines, effective connection cannot be achieved; and when the diameters of the end surfaces of the motor and the gearbox do not match, they cannot be fixed by ordinary flanges and the like.

Six reinforcing ribs 722 are arranged on the outside of the transition part 72, mainly to enhance the strength of the transition flange 7.

[0057] The second end face 73 is provided with twelve gearbox connection holes 731; the gearbox connection holes 731 are matched with the gearbox mounting holes 31; and the second end face 72 is provided with an annular sink 732, which reduces the redundant structure and further reduces the weight of the overall structure.
