[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example:

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, this mainly targets small children's vehicles, such as twist cars and bumper cars. These vehicles are characterized by small wheels and high speed. Specifically, a gearbox transmission clutch structure for a small children's vehicle includes an upper gear cover 1 and a lower gear cover 2. A receiving cavity is formed between the upper gear cover 1 and the lower gear cover 2, and a gear transmission mechanism 4 is assembled in the receiving cavity. A limiting groove 10 is formed on the outside of the upper gear cover 1, and a drive motor 3 is assembled in the limiting groove 10. The drive shaft 30 of the drive motor 3 passes through the upper gear cover 1 and connects to a motor gear 31. The motor gear 31 is connected to the gear transmission mechanism 4. The gear transmission mechanism 4 includes a first gear 5 and a second gear 6 that mesh with each other. The cover 1 is provided with a first connecting shaft 11 and a positioning cylinder 12; a first gear 5 is movably sleeved on the first connecting shaft 11, and a second gear 6 is movably sleeved on the positioning cylinder 12; the first gear 5 meshes with the motor gear 31; the second gear 6 is connected to a separation mechanism 7; the separation mechanism 7 is equipped with a connecting part 8 that extends out of the gear cover 2 for connecting with the children's vehicle wheel assembly; the structure of each component of this utility model is reasonably designed and the connection method is simple. For example, the connecting part cooperates with the limiting slot and clutch magnet of the separation mechanism, which is convenient for disassembly and installation; the separation mechanism facilitates power separation, making operation convenient during maintenance or repair, and reducing assembly and maintenance costs.

[0035] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the first gear 5 includes a first large gear 5-1 and a first small gear 5-2; the second gear 6 includes a second large gear 6-1 and an output seat 6-2; the first large gear 5-1 meshes with the motor gear 31, and the first small gear 5-2 meshes with the second large gear 6-1, forming a two-stage reduction transmission structure, which effectively reduces the speed and increases the torque; the separation mechanism 7 is mounted on the output seat 6-2 to realize the power transmission and separation functions.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first large gear 5-1, the first small gear 5-2, and the second large gear 6-1 are all spur gears.

[0037] This utility model has a simple structure. Through a two-stage reduction transmission structure (the first large gear meshes with the motor gear, and the first small gear meshes with the second large gear), the rotational speed can be effectively reduced and the torque increased. The first gear and the second gear are respectively connected to the connecting shaft and the positioning cylinder through bearings, which reduces friction during the transmission process and improves the transmission efficiency.

[0038] like Figures 4-5 As shown, to improve transmission efficiency and stability, a bearing limiting groove 6-3 is formed inside the second large gear 6-1. A second bearing 60 is assembled inside the bearing limiting groove 6-3 and is sleeved on the positioning cylinder 12, enabling the second gear 6 to rotate smoothly. Meanwhile, the diameter of the second large gear 6-1 is larger than the diameter of the first large gear 5-1, and the second large gear 6-1 is positioned close to the inner wall of the gearbox. This structural design makes the overall structure of the gearbox more compact.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a first bearing 50 is fixedly installed inside both the first large gear 5-1 and the first small gear 5-2; the first gear 5 is movably sleeved on the first connecting shaft 11 through the first bearing 50; this further improves transmission efficiency and stability, and reduces friction and noise.

[0040] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the connecting part 8 includes a connecting cylinder 80 and a connecting member 81 fixed on the connecting cylinder 80; the connecting cylinder 80 is fitted onto the separating mechanism 7, and the side wall of the connecting member 81 is provided with a concave-convex limiting part 82 along the circumferential direction for connecting the stroller wheel; it is used to reliably connect with the stroller wheel to ensure that the power can be effectively transmitted to the wheel.

[0041] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, the separation mechanism 7 includes a positioning ring 70, a baffle 71, and two clutch magnets 72. One side of the positioning ring 70 is sleeved on the output seat 6-2, and the other side of the positioning ring 70 is connected to the baffle 71. Notches 73 are formed on both sides of the positioning ring 70, and the clutch magnets 72 are installed in the notches 73. A limiting groove 83 is formed in the connecting cylinder 80. The connecting cylinder 80 is fitted around the positioning ring 70, and the limiting groove 83 is adapted to and connected to the clutch magnets 72. The connecting cylinder 80, the baffle 71, and the second gear 6 limit the clutch magnets 72 within the notches 73.

[0042] When the drive motor 3 is activated, the clutch magnet 72, driven by the gears at each stage, moves within the notch 73 area under centrifugal force. The clutch magnet 72 moves to the edge of the positioning ring 70, partially embedding into the limiting groove 83, thus locking the connecting piece 81 with the positioning ring 70. This drives the connecting cylinder 80 to rotate, thereby driving the wheel to rotate. When the drive motor 3 stops, pulling the stroller causes the wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting cylinder 80 to rotate. During the transmission process of the connecting cylinder 80, displacement occurs between the limiting groove 83 and the positioning ring 70, causing the clutch magnet 72 to be squeezed out of the limiting groove 83 and enter the notch 73 area. This separates the connecting cylinder 80 from the positioning ring 70, allowing the connecting cylinder 80 to rotate freely. The connecting cylinder 80 is also separated from the gears at each stage and the drive motor 3, thereby reducing wheel resistance and wear on the gears at each stage and the drive motor 3. This effectively extends the service life of the stroller, reduces user costs, and facilitates the promotion and application of electric strollers in the market.

[0043] The separation mechanism 7 in this embodiment acts as a drive when energized and rotates freely when de-energized.

[0044] The notch 73 is symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the positioning ring 70, that is, one notch 73 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis of the positioning ring 70, and the two parts of the notch 73 are symmetrical along the central axis of the positioning ring 70. This implementation can ensure that the clutch magnet 72 moves within the notch 73 and reduce the resistance of the clutch magnet 72 during the movement.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, a limiting cylinder 13 is fixed at the end of the baffle 71 away from the positioning ring 70. Multiple limiting grooves 14 are formed inside the limiting cylinder 13. Correspondingly, multiple limiting protrusions 15, which are adapted to the limiting grooves 14, are arranged on the outer side of the top of the positioning cylinder 12. When the limiting cylinder 13 is connected to the positioning cylinder 12, the limiting grooves 14 are embedded within the limiting protrusions 15. This connection between the limiting cylinder 13 and the positioning cylinder 12 further enhances the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0046] To reduce transmission noise and improve transmission smoothness, the meshing teeth on the motor gear 31 are helical teeth, and correspondingly, the first large gear 5-1 on the first gear 5 is also a helical gear. Helical gear transmission has advantages such as high overlap ratio, strong load-bearing capacity, and low noise.

[0047] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention; therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.

[0048] Although this document uses numerous reference numerals from the accompanying drawings, such as gear upper cover 1, gear lower cover 2, drive motor 3, gear transmission mechanism 4, first gear 5, first large gear 5-1, first small gear 5-2, second gear 6, second large gear 6-1, output seat 6-2, bearing limiting groove 6-3, separation mechanism 7, connecting part 8, limiting groove 10, first connecting shaft 11, positioning cylinder 12, limiting cylinder 13, limiting groove 14, limiting protrusion 15, drive shaft 30, motor gear 31, first bearing 50, second bearing 60, positioning ring 70, baffle 71, clutch magnet 72, notch 73, connecting cylinder 80, connecting piece 81, limiting part 82, limiting slot 83, etc., the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
