Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of speed reducer technology, and in particular to a walking speed reducer. Background Technology
[0002] The main function of AGVs in industrial applications is to realize unmanned and automated handling of logistics transfers, so as to reduce production costs, improve the economic efficiency of industry, and realize the automation of the entire process of loading, unloading and handling of goods and materials.
[0003] Traditional AGV reducers use concentric planetary reducers, where the motor, reducer, and wheel hub are all on the same axis. The wheel hub also requires a separate support structure, resulting in a relatively long axial dimension and a complex structure. In addition, AGVs use a dual-drive structure, so the width of the AGV must be at least greater than the width of two motors, two reducers, and two wheels, making it difficult to keep the width short.
[0004] With the continuous development of industry, AGVs are now required to be smaller in size while meeting the requirements of load-bearing capacity. The size of the reducer is also required to be shorter, and the system must be able to stop the machine immediately in case of mechanical failure or motor failure to ensure the safety of the system.

[0008] As a further feature of this invention, a first single-row deep groove ball bearing is provided between the input shaft and the rear flange.
[0009] As a further feature of this invention, a first limiting block is provided on the input shaft, a second limiting block is provided inside the housing, one side of the inner ring of the first single-row deep groove ball bearing abuts against the first limiting block, and one side of the outer ring of the first single-row deep groove ball bearing abuts against the second limiting block.

[0011] As a further feature of this invention, a second single-row deep groove ball bearing is provided between the brake shaft and the brake end cover.
[0012] As a further feature of this invention, a third mounting groove is provided on the outer side of the brake shaft near the second single-row deep groove ball bearing, and a third elastic retaining ring is provided in the third mounting groove, the third elastic retaining ring abutting against the second single-row deep groove ball bearing.
[0013] As a further feature of this invention, a first pin is fixedly mounted on the shaft disk, the first pin being parallel to the axis of the input shaft, and the first-stage planetary gear being rotatably connected to the first pin.
[0014] As a further feature of this invention, a second pin is fixedly mounted on the planetary carrier, the second pin being parallel to the axis of the input shaft, and the secondary planetary gear is rotatably connected to the second pin.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. The reducer of this utility model is equipped with a brake shaft, which can be connected to an external brake for braking, thereby enabling the reducer to have a braking function. This can effectively reduce the impact of the equipment during start-up and shutdown, reduce the wear of parts, extend the service life of the equipment, and can also stop the machinery immediately in case of mechanical failure or motor failure, ensuring the safety of the system. It has the ability to stop in an emergency and can help the motor achieve more precise control.
[0018] In addition, the brake shaft is connected to the first-stage planetary reduction mechanism. Compared with the direct connection to the input shaft, this method makes the speed of the brake shaft relatively lower than that of the input shaft, resulting in smoother braking. Furthermore, the brake shaft is connected separately to the first-stage sun gear, separating the input shaft and the brake shaft. For serialized reducers, this method allows for more shared parts and greater versatility.
[0019] 2. An external power unit is connected to the input shaft to drive the input shaft to rotate. The input shaft drives the secondary sun gear to rotate. The secondary sun gear drives the secondary planetary gear to rotate through external meshing. When the secondary planetary gear rotates along the secondary gear ring, it drives the planet carrier to rotate. The planet carrier then drives the primary sun gear to rotate. The primary sun gear drives the primary planetary gear to rotate through external meshing. Since the shaft disk is fixed, when the primary planetary gear rotates around its axis, it drives the primary gear ring to rotate. The primary gear ring has a hub connected to it. The hub is equivalent to the AGV wheel. The AGV wheel directly uses the internal support of the reducer, which simplifies the structure, strengthens the load-bearing capacity, and reduces the cost.
[0020] 3. The width of the second-stage planetary gear is smaller than that of the first-stage planetary gear, and the width of the second-stage sun gear is smaller than that of the first-stage sun gear. Under the condition that the strength of the gear train meets the working conditions, the width of the second-stage gear train is reduced, the axial dimension of the reducer is shortened, and the cost of raw materials is reduced.

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] A travel reducer includes a rear flange 1, an input shaft 2, a brake shaft 4, a brake end cover 3, a first-stage planetary reduction mechanism, and a second-stage planetary reduction mechanism; wherein the first-stage planetary reduction mechanism includes a first-stage sun gear 5, a first-stage planetary gear 6, a shaft disc 7, and a first-stage gear ring 8; the second-stage planetary reduction mechanism includes a second-stage sun gear 9, a second-stage planetary gear 10, a planet carrier 11, and a second-stage gear ring 12;
[0026] The rear flange 1 is fixedly connected to the external power unit, and the input shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the rear flange 1. During operation, the output end of the power unit is connected to the input shaft 2 to drive the input shaft 2 to rotate. The end of the input shaft 2 is provided with an inner hole, and the secondary sun gear 9 is press-fitted into the inner hole and fixedly connected to the input shaft 2 coaxially. The secondary gear ring 12, the rear flange 1, and the shaft disc 7 are fixed together by hexagon socket head cap screws. When the reducer is working, this whole part is fixed. The planetary carrier 11 is rotatably connected to the rear flange 1. A secondary pin is fixedly installed on the planetary carrier 11. The secondary pin is parallel to the axis of the input shaft 2. The secondary planetary gear 10 is rotatably connected to the secondary pin.
[0027] One end of the planetary carrier 11 is provided with an inner hole. One end of the first-stage sun gear 5 is pressed into the inner hole of the planetary carrier 11 and fixedly connected to the planetary carrier 11. The other end of the first-stage sun gear 5 is pressed into the inner hole of the brake shaft 4, so that the brake shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the first-stage sun gear 5. The planetary carrier 11, the first-stage sun gear 5, and the brake shaft 4 are arranged coaxially. The first-stage gear ring 8 is rotatably connected to the shaft disk 7.

The input shaft 2 drives the secondary sun gear 9 to rotate, the secondary sun gear 9 drives the secondary planet gear 10 to rotate, and when the secondary planet gear 10 rotates along the secondary ring gear 12, it drives the planet carrier 11 to rotate. The planet carrier 11 then drives the primary sun gear 5 to rotate, and the primary sun gear 5 drives the primary planet gear 6 to rotate. Since the shaft disk 7 is fixed, when the primary planet gear 6 rotates around its axis, it drives the primary ring gear 8 to rotate, and the primary ring gear 8 outputs power.
[0030] The reducer in this embodiment is used for AVG vehicles. The wheel hub 13 of the AVG vehicle is fixedly connected to the first-stage gear ring 8.

[0032] Furthermore, a first single-row deep groove ball bearing 14 is provided between the input shaft 2 and the rear flange 1; a first limiting block is provided on the input shaft 2, and a second limiting block is provided inside the housing.
