[0005] The motor is connected to the reducer via a coupling, which includes a first magnetic coupling and a second magnetic coupling. The first magnetic coupling is fixed on the shaft of the motor, and the first magnetic coupling and the second magnetic coupling are connected by magnetic attraction.

[0006] The locking shaft and male connector are designed separately from the reducer drive shaft;

[0007] The cylinder, acting as a power source, controls the locking device to move back and forth via a linear slide rail.

[0008] As an improvement, the gearbox drive shaft can be quickly replaced.

[0009] As an optimization: a preload spring is provided between the locking shaft and the male end and the reducer drive shaft. The preload spring is used to avoid hard contact between the locking shaft and the male end and the reducer drive shaft.

[0012] Beneficial effects: By utilizing the flexibility of the magnetic coupling, the device eliminates the rigid connection with the reducer and the torque limiter. Kinetic energy is transmitted through the magnetic coupling, and the motor start and stop are controlled by a fixed-position induction sensor. This reduces the long-term wear of the reducer and torque converter and lowers the device's failure rate. Attached Figure Description

The locking shaft and male connector 5 are designed separately from the reducer drive shaft 6, allowing for quick replacement of the easily worn reducer drive shaft 6. A preload spring 7 is provided between the locking shaft and male connector 5 and the reducer drive shaft 6 to prevent hard contact between them. The cylinder 8 serves as a power source, controlling the locking device's forward and backward movement via a linear slide rail 9. The protective plate 10 provides safety protection during operation, and the start and stop of the motor 1 are determined by a sensor.
