AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing ice makers, the gearbox is subjected to axial force, which causes fatigue deformation of the housing and cover materials, shortening its service life and increasing its weight and cost.

Method used

It adopts an electric drive device, with the transmission components between the motor shaft and the output shaft extending in parallel. The axial force is distributed by the positioning pin and bearing device, reducing the mechanical load on the upper housing. It is made of lightweight plastic material.

Benefits of technology

This effectively reduces the mechanical load on the upper casing, extends its service life, and lowers the weight and production cost of the ice maker.

Abstract

This disclosure relates to an electric drive device, comprising: an electric motor with a motor shaft; an output shaft; a transmission housing; and a transmission assembly disposed in the transmission housing, the transmission assembly being dynamically connected between the motor shaft and the output shaft such that the motor shaft and the output shaft extend parallel to each other at a distance, wherein the transmission housing includes a first half-shell and a second half-shell arranged sequentially in the axial direction, the first half-shell being positioned relative to the second half-shell by means of a plurality of locating pins, wherein the locating pins are formed on the second half-shell and extend from the second half-shell to the first half-shell in the axial direction, and wherein the output shaft protrudes outward from the first half-shell in the axial direction. This disclosure also relates to an ice maker.
