[0028] like Figures 1-7As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a planetary reducer is provided, comprising: planetary gears 9, a sun gear 12, and a ring gear. The planetary gears 9 mesh with the sun gear 12 and mesh with the ring gear. The sun gear 12 is connected to the output end of a motor 13. When the sun gear 12 rotates, it can drive the planetary gears 9 to rotate.
[0029] Planetary gear 9 meshes with sun gear 12, and planetary gear 9 also meshes with the gear ring on the inner wall of housing 4, forming a multi-stage reduction structure; sun gear 12 is connected to the output end of motor 13, and transmits power to output shaft 1 through the revolution and rotation of planetary gear 9.
[0030] The output shaft 1 and the planetary bearing 10 are mounted on the planetary gear 9. One end of the output shaft 1 is connected to the planetary gear 9 through the planetary bearing 10. The axis of the output shaft 1 and the axis of the sun gear 12 are on the same straight line. When the planetary gear 9 moves, it can drive the output shaft 1 to rotate.
[0031] The reducer also includes a housing 4, a gear ring is located on the inner wall of the housing 4, and the other end of the output shaft 1 extends out from the housing 4.
[0032] The output shaft 1 includes a main shaft 6, a transition section and a connector connected in sequence. The transition section and the connector are both located inside the housing 4. A pin 11 is provided on the planetary bearing 10. Both ends of the pin 11 are connected to the connector. The end of the pin 11 near the main shaft 6 passes through the connector and is provided with a retaining ring 7. The connector is located between the planetary bearing 10 and the retaining ring 7.
[0033] The aforementioned connector has a cavity in the middle and an opening on the outer wall of the connector. The planetary bearing 10 and the pin 11 are both located in the cavity. A part of the planetary gear 9 extends out of the connector and meshes with the gear ring. Both ends of the pin 11 pass through the cavity.
[0034] The planetary reducer also includes a retaining ring 2, which is connected to the housing 4 and is located on the side of the first support bearing 3 away from the planetary gear 9.
[0035] The pin 11 is made of zirconium oxide and has a groove for the retaining ring 2 at one end for mounting the retaining ring 2.
[0036] The output shaft 1 adopts a squirrel cage design, and its axis coincides with the axis of the sun gear 12 to ensure coaxial transmission. One end of the output shaft 1 is connected to the planet gear 9 through the planet bearing 10, and the other end extends to the outside of the housing 4 to form a power output end.
[0037] Angle contact bearings (first support bearing 3 and second support bearing 5) are respectively installed on both sides of the output shaft 1. Bidirectional axial fixation is achieved through preload, which improves the impact resistance.
[0038] The pin 11 and the planetary gear 9 bearing adopt an transition fit and are fixed by the retaining ring 7 to prevent radial displacement.
[0039] The planetary reducer also includes a first support bearing 3, which is located inside the housing 4 and is sleeved on the transition section. The outer wall of the first support bearing 3 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 4.
[0040] The connector has a connection hole, and the sun gear 12 is connected to the output end of the motor 13 through the motor 13 hole.

[0047] In operation, motor 13 drives sun gear 12 to rotate, and planet gear 9 revolves around sun gear 12 under the constraint of ring gear, while simultaneously driving output shaft 1 to rotate via pin 11. Double angular contact bearings provide bidirectional support and suppress axial displacement; the squirrel-cage output shaft 1 structure distributes the load, reduces radial runout, and ultimately achieves stable torque output.
[0048] The planetary reducer mainly consists of a sun gear 12, planet gears 9, a gear ring, and an output shaft 1. It reduces the speed of the motor 13 to the required speed and obtains the desired higher output torque through the reduction ratio between the gears. After assembling the planetary reducer and adding lubricating grease, the sun gear 12 is mounted on the output shaft 1 of the motor. Simultaneously, the outer ring of the second support bearing 5 mates with the bearing housing of the motor 13. The motor is connected to the gear ring inside the reducer housing 4 via screws 14. Then, the motor is powered on, causing it to operate, and the reducer output shaft 1 to rotate, outputting speed and torque.
[0049] In summary, this utility model provides a planetary reducer structure that solves the problems of general reducers being unable to withstand large axial forces and having poor impact resistance, as well as the unstable torque output caused by excessive radial runout at the output shaft end due to the cantilever beam support structure.
