Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, and in particular to a novel handrail motor. Background Technology
[0002] Existing armrest motors are bulky and unsuitable for installation in confined spaces, exhibiting poor adaptability to new application scenarios such as armrest boxes. Furthermore, existing armrest motors use a rigid shaft connection between the motor and gearbox, limiting parameter modification flexibility. Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN222423427U discloses a motor and gearbox mounting structure that solves the problems of large size and interference caused by screw mounting in existing technologies by using several protruding rivets on the motor housing to connect with slots on the gearbox body. This achieves a compact structure, low cost, and easy installation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a new type of handrail motor that is not suitable for installation in small spaces due to the large structure of existing handrail motors. This new type of handrail motor has the advantages of compact motor layout and good adaptability.
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A novel handrail motor includes a motor part and a gearbox part, wherein the motor part and the gearbox part are separated and connected by fasteners. The characteristic feature is that the motor part and the gearbox part use a flexible shaft to realize power transmission.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a portion of the flexible shaft is embedded in the motor portion and drivenly connected to the rotor within the motor portion, while another portion of the flexible shaft is embedded in the gearbox portion and drivenly connected to the input end within the gearbox portion.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the flexible shaft is an irregularly shaped shaft.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model features a separate design for the motor and gearbox, with a flexible shaft serving as the drive shaft for the motor. The flexible shaft works in conjunction with the gearbox, resulting in a compact structure, high parameter variability, and reduced axial height of the motor, making it suitable for applications in confined spaces. This utility model offers advantages such as low cost, compact layout, and good adaptability. Attached Figure Description
[0009] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall shape of the novel handrail motor of this utility model.
[0010] Figure 2This is an exploded view of the novel handrail motor of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0011] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0012] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figure shows a novel handrail motor, comprising a motor part 100 and a gearbox part 200. The motor part and the gearbox part are designed and manufactured separately, and then connected by fasteners such as bolts 300. Specifically, a plurality of lugs 120 (up to three) are provided at one end of the housing 110 of the motor part 100 near the gearbox part 200. Each lug 120 has a through hole. A plurality of connecting posts 220 are provided on the gearbox body 210 of the gearbox part 200 at positions corresponding to the lugs 120. Each connecting post 220 has a threaded hole. The motor part 100 and the gearbox part 200 can be installed together by passing a plurality of bolts 300 through the through holes in each lug 120 and screwing them into the threaded holes in each connecting post 220.
[0013] The feature of this invention is that the motor part 100 and the gearbox part 200 use a flexible shaft 400 to achieve power transmission. The flexible shaft 400 is an irregularly shaped shaft. A part of the flexible shaft 400 is embedded in the motor part 100 and driven by the rotor inside the motor part 100. The other part of the flexible shaft 400 is embedded in the gearbox part 200 and driven by the input end inside the gearbox part 200. This makes the new handrail motor structure compact, with high parameter modifiability, and also reduces the axial height of the motor part 100, making it suitable for applications in small spaces.
