Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control car gearbox technology, specifically a passive cooling gearbox. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most remote control car gearboxes use gear / pulley gearboxes, which often lack passive cooling design. Remote control cars require high motor speeds and bear heavy loads when drifting. Gearboxes without passive cooling design cannot stably dissipate motor temperature, preventing the motor from running at full power continuously and potentially damaging surrounding components due to high temperatures. In addition, gearboxes without protective covers pose a significant safety hazard as there is a high risk of wires getting tangled in them. Furthermore, the lack of bearing assembly design optimized for rotating object loads also reduces lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Preferably, both the heat dissipation motor frame and the secondary transmission fixing frame are equipped with protective covers.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. This utility model is installed on the vehicle frame by a fixed mounting bracket. When the locking mechanism is released, the whole consisting of the cooling motor bracket, the transition drive shaft protective cover, and the secondary transmission fixing bracket can rotate around the axis of the output shaft. The position of the motor can be adjusted to change the vehicle's center of gravity and the position of the force of the rotational output shaft effect, thereby changing the vehicle's handling. After the position is adjusted, it can be locked by the locking mechanism.
[0017] 2. Loosen the first locking screw and rotate the transition drive shaft protective cover. It can provide a variety of electronic equipment mounting bracket installation methods, allowing for more ways to place electronic equipment (such as front, middle, rear, etc. with stepless adjustment); at the same time, the transition drive shaft protective cover also serves to reinforce the gearbox and reduce the possible deformation of the gearbox under high load.
[0018] 3. The outer contour of the transition transmission protective cover adopts a groove design with a recess, in which cables can be wrapped or passed directly to reduce the difficulty of cable management; the transition transmission protective cover adopts a closed design, which can reduce the foreign objects from being caught in the transmission shaft and increase service life.
[0019] 4. The motor rotation drives the blower-type cooling wheel to rotate. When the blower-type cooling wheel rotates, the blades on the back agitate the air, and together with the protective cover of the cooling motor frame, they form a blower area, which efficiently blows the airflow to the cooling fin area, improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0020] 5. The load at the bottom of the transition drive shaft is relatively small, so using a single bearing can save space; the bottom of the output shaft and the top of the transition drive shaft have a large shaft effect, so using double bearings to fix them can increase the load capacity and life.
[0021] 6. Protective covers are provided on the heat dissipation motor frame and the secondary transmission fixing frame to reduce the risk of foreign objects being entangled and improve the overall service life. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.
[0028] Example: As attached Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model describes a passive cooling gearbox, comprising a cooling motor frame 1, a transition drive shaft protective cover 2, and a secondary transmission fixing frame 3 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. A transition drive shaft 21 is provided inside the transition drive shaft protective cover 2. The top end of the transition drive shaft 21 extends upward from the cooling motor frame 1 and is rotatably connected to it. The bottom end of the transition drive shaft 21 extends downward from the secondary transmission fixing frame 3 and is rotatably connected to it. Preferably, both the upper and lower ends of the cooling motor frame 1 are provided with first bearing positions adapted to the transition drive shaft 21, and the top end of the secondary transmission fixing frame 3 is provided with a second bearing position adapted to the transition drive shaft 21. Bearings adapted to the transition drive shaft 21 are installed in both the first and second bearing positions. The load at the bottom end of the transition drive shaft 21 is relatively small, and using a single bearing saves space. Since the top end of the transition drive shaft 21 has a larger shaft effect, using double bearings for fixing increases load capacity and lifespan.
[0029] The top of the transition drive shaft 21 is provided with a blower-type heat dissipation wheel 22. The blower-type heat dissipation wheel 22 is provided with several vertically penetrating vent holes 23. The bottom of the blower-type heat dissipation wheel 22 is provided with several blades 24. When the blower-type heat dissipation wheel 22 rotates, it drives the blades 24 to rotate around the axis of the transition drive shaft 21, which enables the heat on the heat dissipation motor frame 1 to be dissipated quickly.
[0030] The heat dissipation motor frame 1 is equipped with a motor 11. The motor shaft of the motor 11 is parallel to the transition transmission shaft 21. The motor shaft of the motor 11 is equipped with a drive wheel 12. The drive wheel 12 is connected to the blower-type heat dissipation wheel 22 and is driven by the motor 11 to rotate the transition transmission shaft 21.
[0031] The heat dissipation motor frame 1 can use high thermal conductivity materials such as aluminum alloy, brass, or pure copper, and the heat dissipation fins are machined in one piece to improve heat dissipation efficiency. Bearings can be installed on both sides to improve the bearing load capacity and reduce the load on a single bearing.
[0032] The secondary transmission mounting bracket 3 is equipped with an output shaft 31. The top end of the output shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the cooling motor bracket 1, and the bottom end is rotatably connected to the secondary transmission mounting bracket 3. Preferably, both the upper and lower ends of the secondary transmission mounting bracket 3 are provided with third bearing positions adapted to the output shaft 31. Bearings adapted to the output shaft 31 are installed in the third bearing positions. Due to its large shaft effect, the bottom end of the output shaft 31 is fixed with double bearings, which can increase its load capacity and lifespan. The output shaft 31 is connected to the mounting shaft of the remote control car wheel through a transmission mechanism. Gears, sprockets, pulleys, etc., can be installed on the output shaft 31 for power output.
[0033] The bottom of the transition drive shaft 21 is provided with a transition wheel 25, and the bottom end of the output shaft 31 is provided with a driven wheel 32, which is connected to the transition wheel 25 in a transmission manner.
[0034] The transmission ratio between the drive wheel 12 and the blower-type cooling wheel 22, and / or the transmission ratio between the driven wheel 32 and the transition wheel 25, is adjustable. To facilitate transmission ratio adjustment, the drive wheel 12 is detachably connected to the motor shaft of the motor 11, allowing for transmission ratio adjustment by replacing the drive wheel 12. Similarly, the driven wheel 32 can be detachably connected to the output shaft 31, allowing for transmission ratio adjustment by replacing the driven wheel 32.
[0035] The drive wheel 12, the blower-type cooling wheel 22, the driven wheel 32, and the transition wheel 25 can be gears, sprockets, or pulleys. When the drive wheel 12 and the blower-type cooling wheel 22 are gears, the drive wheel 12 meshes with the blower-type cooling wheel 22. The drive wheel 12 is detachably connected to the motor shaft of the motor 11. The transmission ratio can be adjusted by replacing the drive wheel 12. Since different sizes of drive wheels need to be replaced, the distance between the motor 11 and the transition drive shaft protective cover 2 needs to be adjustable to meet the installation requirements. Specifically, the cooling motor frame 1 is provided with a U-shaped opening that is adapted to the motor shaft of the motor 11. The motor shaft is located in the U-shaped opening. On both sides of the U-shaped opening on the cooling motor frame 1, there are waist-shaped holes. Screws for fixing the motor 11 to the cooling motor frame 1 are provided in the waist-shaped holes. The distance between the motor 11 and the transition drive shaft protective cover 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the screws in the waist-shaped holes. When the drive wheel 12 and the blower-type cooling wheel 2 are sprockets, they are driven by a chain. The transmission ratio can be adjusted by replacing the drive wheel 12 and the chain. When the drive wheel 12 and the blower-type cooling wheel 22 are pulleys, they are driven by a belt. The transmission ratio can be adjusted by replacing the drive wheel 12 and the belt. When the driven wheel 32 and the transition wheel 25 are gears, they mesh. The transmission ratio can be adjusted by swapping the driven wheel 32 and the transition wheel 25. When the driven wheel 32 and the transition wheel 25 are sprockets, they are driven by a chain. The transmission ratio can be adjusted by replacing the driven wheel 32 and the chain. When the driven wheel 32 and the transition wheel 25 are pulleys, they are driven by a belt. The transmission ratio can be adjusted by replacing the driven wheel 32 and the belt.
[0036] A fixed mounting bracket 4 is provided on one side of the transition drive shaft protective cover 2. The fixed mounting bracket 4 has several screw mounting holes. The cooling motor bracket 1 and the secondary transmission fixed bracket 3 are both hinged to the fixed mounting bracket 4 via the output shaft 31. A locking mechanism 5 is provided between the fixed mounting bracket 4 and the cooling motor bracket 1 and / or between the fixed mounting bracket 4 and the secondary transmission fixed bracket 3. The present invention is installed on the vehicle frame via the fixed mounting bracket 4. After releasing the locking mechanism 5, the entire assembly consisting of the cooling motor bracket 1, the transition drive shaft protective cover 2, and the secondary transmission fixed bracket 3 can rotate around the axis of the output shaft 31. This allows adjustment of the position of the motor 11 to change the vehicle's center of gravity and the position of the force exerted by the rotating output shaft, thereby changing the vehicle's handling. After the position adjustment is completed, the entire assembly consisting of the cooling motor bracket 1, the transition drive shaft protective cover 2, and the secondary transmission fixed bracket 3 is locked by the locking mechanism. The fact that the cooling motor bracket 1 and the secondary transmission fixed bracket 3 are both hinged to the fixed mounting bracket 4 via the output shaft 31 ensures that the relative position of the output shaft 31 and the vehicle frame remains unchanged, guaranteeing output stability.
[0037] By replacing the transition transmission protective cover 2 with one made of a different material (copper / stainless steel / tungsten steel / aluminum alloy, etc.), the counterweight can be changed, increasing / decreasing the change in center of gravity caused by changing the motor angle.
[0038] The locking mechanism 5 includes a second locking screw 51, and the fixed mounting bracket 4 is provided with a screw hole adapted to the second locking screw 51. The heat dissipation motor bracket 1 and / or the secondary transmission fixed bracket 3 are provided with a second arc-shaped hole 52 adapted to the second locking screw 51.
[0039] Preferably, an electronic device mounting bracket 6 is provided on one side of the transition drive shaft protective cover 2. The electronic device mounting bracket 6 is detachably connected to the transition drive shaft protective cover 2 and can be fixed to the transition drive shaft protective cover 2 with screws.
[0040] Preferably, the transition drive shaft protective cover 2 is provided with first locking screws 26 at both the upper and lower ends, and the heat dissipation motor bracket 1 and the secondary transmission fixing bracket 3 are provided with first arc-shaped holes 7 that are adapted to the first locking screws 26. Loosening the first locking screws 26 and rotating the transition drive shaft protective cover 2 can provide a variety of installation methods for the electronic equipment mounting bracket 6, allowing for more ways to place the electronic equipment (such as stepless adjustment such as front, middle, and rear placement).
[0041] Preferably, the outer wall of the transition drive shaft protective cover 2 is provided with a spiral groove 27 for accommodating cables. The outer contour of the transition drive protective cover 2 adopts a grooved design with groove 27, in which cables can be wrapped or passed directly, reducing the difficulty of cable management; the transition drive protective cover adopts a closed design, which can reduce the ingress of foreign objects into the drive shaft and increase its service life.
[0042] Preferably, both the heat dissipation motor frame 1 and the secondary transmission fixing frame 3 are equipped with protective covers, which can reduce the risk of foreign objects being entangled and improve the overall lifespan.
