[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, specifically to a structure of a cavity-type oil-cooled planetary gear reducer motor. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional motors typically use air cooling or water cooling for heat dissipation. Air cooling has low heat dissipation efficiency and is difficult to meet the heat dissipation requirements of high power density motors; water cooling has a complex structure, high cost, and is prone to leakage. In addition, traditional motors and reduction gears are usually separate, resulting in a large overall size, which is not conducive to miniaturization applications.
[0003] Planetary gear reducers are widely used in various applications requiring speed reduction due to their small size and high transmission efficiency. However, traditional planetary gear reducers typically require a separate lubrication system, increasing overall complexity.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a cavity-type oil-cooled planetary gear reducer motor structure to solve the technical problems existing in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0037] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.
[0038] The applicant designed a cavity-type oil-cooled planetary gear 20-wheel reduction motor structure as shown in Figure 1-3, including:
[0039] Left end cap 9 and right end cap 18, spoke hub 3, motor shaft 14, bearings 26, 22 and 11, motor stator, motor rotor, planetary gear 20 reduction mechanism, double oil seal structure, O-ring 17, oil-gas separation structure, oil-proof two-way vent valve 1 and magnetic oil injection bolt 2.
[0040] The left end cover 9 and the right end cover 18, together with the spoked hub 3, form a sealed cavity. The motor shaft 14 is fixedly mounted, supporting the entire motor structure. Bearings 26, 22, and 11 are respectively mounted on the motor shaft 14, supporting the spoked hub 3 and the rotor support 16. The motor stator includes a stator core 6 and stator coils 7, fixed on a stator support 8, which is fixed inside the cavities of the left end cover 9 and the right end cover 18. The motor rotor includes a rotor magnetic coil 4 and magnets 5, fixed on the rotor support 16. The planetary gear 20 reduction mechanism includes a sun gear 25, planetary gears 20, a left planetary support 21, and an internal gear ring 19. The sun gear 25 is mounted on the rotor support 16, and the internal gear ring 19 is fixed on the inner ring of the spoked hub 3. A double oil seal structure is provided at the mating points of the left end cover 9 and the right end cover 18 with the motor shaft 14, including an inner oil seal 12 and an outer oil seal 13, to improve the motor's sealing effect. O-rings 17 are placed at the mating points of the left end cap 9 and the right end cap 18 with the spoke hub 3 to improve the motor's sealing effect.
[0041] An oil-gas separation structure is located on the left end cover 9, including an oil baffle 10 and a venting channel. The oil baffle 10 is used to prevent lubricating oil from splashing, and the venting channel is used to discharge gas. An oil-proof two-way venting valve 1 is connected to the oil-gas separation structure to balance the internal and external pressures of the motor. A magnetic oil injection bolt 2 is located on the right end cover 18 for injecting lubricating oil. A one-way clutch 23 is installed inside the hub to prevent the motor from reversing. A clutch positioning key 24 is used to fix the one-way clutch 23. A stator bracket positioning key 15 is used to fix the stator bracket 8.
[0042] The lubricating oil is gear lubricating oil, used to lubricate the gears and cool the motor stator and rotor. The spoked hub 3 is made of aluminum alloy.
[0043] Working principle: During use, gear lubricating oil is injected into the motor through the magnetic oiling bolt 2 hole on the right end cover 18. The lubricating oil lubricates the gears and cools the motor's stator and rotor. After the motor is powered on, the rotor drives the sun gear 25 mounted on the rotor bracket 16 as the input gear of the planetary reduction structure to rotate. The internal gear ring 19 is fixed on the inner ring of the spoke hub 3 as the output gear, ultimately realizing the rotation of the spoke hub 3.
[0044] This application uses bearings 26, 22, and 11 to mount the motor shaft 14, which is fixed. The motor stator and rotor, along with the planetary gear 20 reduction mechanism, are installed inside the cavities of the hub, left end cover 9, and right end cover 18. After the motor is powered on, the rotor drives the sun gear 25 mounted on the rotor support 16 as the input gear of the planetary reduction mechanism to rotate. The internal gear ring 19 is fixed on the inner ring of the hub as the output gear, ultimately achieving the rotation of the hub. The double oil seal structure of the left end cover 9 and right end cover 18, along with the O-ring 17 at the hub, improves the motor's sealing effect. The oil-gas separation structure on the left end cover 9 ensures that the pure air inside the motor is discharged to the outside under high pressure through the vent valve, achieving pressure balance inside and outside the motor. Gear lubricating oil is injected into the motor through the oil injection thread hole of the right end cover 18. The lubricating oil provides lubrication to the gears and also cools the motor stator and rotor. The lubricating oil quickly transfers the heat generated by the motor core to the left end cover 9, right end cover 18, and hub, significantly reducing the motor temperature, increasing the motor power density, and preventing coil burnout and other malfunctions.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
