This bearing is located between the end of the first-stage planetary carrier 43 and the first-stage fixing plate 46 to ensure that the first-stage planetary gear 41 rotates flexibly. One end of the motor shaft 61 of the drive motor 6 extends into the first bearing hole 431 and is interference-fitted with the inner ring of the first ball bearing 44. The first-stage sun gear 42 is sleeved on the outside of the motor shaft 61 through a key connection, and the first-stage sun gear 42 meshes with the first-stage planetary gear 41. The first-stage planetary carrier 43 extends to form a first-stage connecting shaft 432 on the side away from the first bearing hole 431, and a first limiting platform 433 is machined at its end.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the second-stage planetary gear set 5 consists of a second-stage planetary gear 51, a second-stage sun gear 52, and a second-stage planetary carrier 53. A second bearing hole 531 is formed in the middle of one side of the second-stage planetary carrier 53. A second ball bearing 54 is installed in the second bearing hole 531 with an interference fit. A first-stage connecting shaft 432 extends into the second bearing hole 531 and has an interference fit with the inner ring of the second ball bearing 54.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the drive motor 6 is working, the motor shaft 61 drives the first-stage sun gear 42 to rotate. The first-stage sun gear 42 drives the first-stage planetary gear 41 to rotate around the first-stage fixed column 45 and revolve along the inner wall of the gear ring body 1. The first-stage planetary carrier 43 rotates accordingly. The first-stage planetary carrier 43 drives the second-stage sun gear 52 to rotate through the first-stage connecting shaft 432. The second-stage sun gear 52 drives the second-stage planetary gear 51 to rotate around the second-stage fixed column 55 and revolve along the inner wall of the gear ring body 1. Finally, the decelerated power is output by the second-stage connecting shaft 532 of the second-stage planetary carrier 53. Through the deceleration of the two-stage planetary gears, a large transmission ratio and high efficiency power transmission are achieved.
