[0032] like Figures 1-5 The miniature geared motor shown can be used in smart locks. Smart locks generally include components such as a geared motor, a lock body, and a bolt. The geared motor transmits its output torque to the bolt control mechanism to control the movement of the bolt and realize the opening and closing of the lock.
[0033] A miniature gear reducer motor includes a drive motor 1, a transmission assembly 2, and a housing 3. The drive motor 1 is mounted on the housing 3 and is arranged parallel to the housing 3. The drive end of the drive motor 1 is provided with an input gear 11. The transmission assembly 2 is located inside the housing 3 and includes a first-stage gear 21, a second-stage gear 22, a third-stage gear 23, and an output gear 24 that mesh sequentially. The first-stage gear 21 includes a coaxially arranged gear disk and a spur gear. The input gear 11 meshes with the gear disk. The first-stage gear 21, the second-stage gear 22, and the third-stage gear 23 are arranged side by side. The output gear 24 is arranged adjacent to the drive motor 1. It should be noted that both the secondary gear 22 and the tertiary gear 23 include two coaxially arranged spur gears. The input gear 11 meshes with the gear disc. The upper primary gear 21 meshes with the lower secondary gear 22, the upper secondary gear 22 meshes with the upper tertiary gear 23, and the lower tertiary gear 23 meshes with the output gear 24. When the drive motor 1 rotates, power is transmitted to the output gear 24 through the input gear 11, primary gear 21, secondary gear 22, and tertiary gear 23. Furthermore, the primary gear 21, secondary gear 22, and tertiary gear 23 are all integrally formed structures. The drive motor 1 is fixed to the corner of the outer side of the housing 3 by fastening bolts, so that the geared motor is square in shape, thereby making the structure of the geared motor more compact. The housing 3 is composed of an upper shell 31 and a lower shell 32, which are fixedly connected by fastening bolts.
[0034] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the drive motor 1 is arranged parallel inside the housing 3, which can avoid the housing 3 being affected by the height of the drive motor 1, and is conducive to reducing the thickness of the housing 3. By setting the gear plate to mesh with the input gear 11, the drive motor 1 can smoothly drive the transmission component 2 to move. Furthermore, the first-stage gear 21, the second-stage gear 22 and the third-stage gear 23 are arranged side by side, and the output gear 24 is arranged adjacent to the drive motor 1, which makes the layout of the transmission component 2 reasonable, which is conducive to improving the space utilization of the housing 3, thereby further reducing the volume of the housing 3, so as to make the geared motor more miniaturized.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 In one possible implementation, the housing 3 has a through hole in the middle, and a locking ring 4 is provided inside the housing 3. The locking ring 4 is rotatably configured relative to the housing 3. The outer ring of the locking ring 4 is connected to the output gear 24, and the inner ring of the locking ring 4 extends out of the housing 3 to engage with external components. It should be noted that the latch control mechanism can be inserted into the through hole in the middle of the housing 3 and engaged with the locking ring 4. When the output gear 24 rotates, the locking ring 4 drives the latch control mechanism to move, thereby controlling the movement of the latch to achieve locking and unlocking.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the output gear 24 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove 241, and the locking ring 4 is provided with a limiting protrusion 41, which extends into the limiting groove 241. It should be noted that the limiting protrusion 41 extends into the limiting groove 241 to engage with the output gear 24. The limiting protrusion 41 is also arc-shaped, and the arc length of the limiting groove 241 is greater than the arc length of the limiting protrusion 41, so that the limiting groove 241 has a space for the limiting protrusion 41 to slide. This allows the locking ring 4 to not be immediately driven in the reverse direction when the drive motor 1 changes from forward to reverse. Instead, it will be driven after the output gear 24 rotates a certain angle and the limiting protrusion 41 comes into contact with the inner wall of the other end of the limiting groove 241.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 5In one possible implementation, the lower part of the housing 3 is provided with a first limiting ring 321, and the upper part of the housing 3 is provided with a second limiting ring 311 corresponding to the first limiting ring 321. The snap ring 4 extends out from between the first limiting ring 321 and the second limiting ring 311. It should be noted that the first limiting ring 321 is set on the lower shell 32, the second limiting ring 311 is set on the upper shell 31, and the snap ring 4 is set on the top surface of the first limiting ring 321. The snap ring 4 and the second limiting ring 311 are in clearance fit to ensure that the snap ring 4 can rotate smoothly. The snap ring 4 is located between the first limiting ring 321 and the second limiting ring 311, which can limit the snap ring 4 in the vertical direction. In addition, the output gear 24 is also provided with a fourth limiting ring 243. The snap ring 4 is located inside the fourth limiting ring 243, which can limit the snap ring 4 in the horizontal direction. The outer wall surface of the snap ring 4 is in clearance fit with the inner wall surface of the fourth limiting ring 243, which greatly improves the stability of the snap ring 4.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 5 In one possible implementation, the upper part of the housing 3 is further provided with a third limiting ring 312, the second limiting ring 311 is located within the inner ring of the third limiting ring 312, and the third limiting ring 312 is located directly above the output gear 24. It should be noted that the output gear 24 is annular, and the inner ring of the output gear 24 is located between the three limiting rings and the locking ring 4 to limit the output gear 24, preventing accidental vertical movement. Furthermore, the output gear 24 and the third limiting ring 312 are in clearance fit to ensure the stability of the clearance fit rotation.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 In one possible implementation, the inner wall of the housing 3 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 313 and a second reinforcing rib 314. The two ends of the first reinforcing rib 313 are respectively connected to the second limiting ring 311 and the third limiting ring 312, and the two ends of the second reinforcing rib 314 are respectively connected to the third limiting ring 312 and the side wall of the housing 3. It should be noted that there are multiple first reinforcing ribs 313 and second reinforcing ribs 314. The arrangement of the first reinforcing ribs 313 and second reinforcing ribs 314 is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the second limiting ring 311 and the third limiting ring 312. Furthermore, the first limiting ring 321 and the lower shell 32 are integrally formed, and the second limiting ring 311 and the third limiting ring 312 are integrally formed with the upper shell 31.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 2In one possible implementation, the housing 3 is further provided with a first axle 25, a second axle 26, and a third axle 27. A primary gear 21 is rotatably mounted on the first axle 25, a secondary gear 22 is rotatably mounted on the second axle 26, and a tertiary gear 23 is rotatably mounted on the third axle 27. It should be noted that the first axle 25 provides a mounting base for the primary gear 21, the second axle 26 provides a mounting base for the secondary gear 22, and the third axle 27 provides a mounting base for the tertiary gear 23. This allows the primary gear 21, secondary gear 22, and tertiary gear 23 to be positioned and installed in corresponding positions within the housing 3, which is beneficial for improving the transmission accuracy of the transmission assembly 2.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 In one possible implementation, the upper and lower walls of the housing 3 are provided with a first limiting post 33, a second limiting post 34 and a third limiting post 35, the end of the first wheel axle 25 extends into the first limiting post 33, the end of the second wheel axle 26 extends into the second limiting post 34, and the end of the third wheel axle 27 extends into the third limiting post 35. It should be noted that both the upper shell 31 and the lower shell 32 are provided with corresponding first limiting posts 33, second limiting posts 34 and third limiting posts 35. Each of the first limiting posts 33, second limiting posts 34 and third limiting posts 35 is provided with blind holes. The two ends of the first wheel shaft 25, second wheel shaft 26 and third wheel shaft 27 extend into the blind holes of the upper shell 31 and the lower shell 32 respectively. The setting of the first limiting posts 33, second limiting posts 34 and third limiting posts 35 can enable the first wheel shaft 25, second wheel shaft 26 and third wheel shaft 27 to be accurately positioned and installed, and play a limiting role for the transmission assembly 2. In addition, the first limiting posts 33, second limiting posts 34 and third limiting posts 35 can also limit the upper and lower positions of the first-stage gear 21, second-stage gear 22 and third-stage gear 23, so as to prevent the first-stage gear 21, second-stage gear 22 and third-stage gear 23 from sliding unexpectedly in the vertical direction, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the transmission assembly 2.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4In one possible implementation, the output gear 24 is provided with a sensing post 242, and the inner wall of the housing 3 is provided with a clearance groove 322. The end of the sensing post 242 extends into the clearance groove 322. It should be noted that there are two sensing posts 242, symmetrically arranged on the output gear 24. The lower housing 32 is provided with a through hole through which the sensing posts 242 can be observed. The sensing posts 242 rotate together with the output gear 24. When the sensing posts 242 pass through the through hole, they can be sensed by the sensors on the smart lock, thereby sensing the position of the output gear 24, improving the control force of the smart lock on the geared motor, meeting user requirements, facilitating the installation of the geared motor when the user installs it on the lock body, and improving the user experience. The clearance groove 322 can prevent the sensing posts 242 from rubbing against the lower housing 32, so that the sensing posts 242 can rotate smoothly.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 In one possible implementation, the outer side wall of the housing 3 is provided with a plurality of mounting portions 323. It should be noted that the mounting portions 323 are used to fix the housing 3 so that the housing 3 is mounted on the lock body. There are four mounting portions 323, which are respectively set near the four corners of the housing 3, which helps to improve the stability of the housing 3 being fixed. The mounting portions 323 are provided with through holes, and the housing 3 can be fixed by using fastening screws through the through holes.
