Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical transmission technology, specifically to a high speed ratio and high torque travel 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 and improve industrial economic efficiency, and to automate the entire process of loading, unloading and handling of goods and materials.
[0003] With the continuous development of industry, AGVs are now required to be smaller in size while meeting the requirements of load-bearing capacity, and the size of the reducer is also required to be shorter.
[0004] Traditional AGV reducers use concentric planetary reducers, where the motor, reducer, and wheel hub are all on the same axis, and the wheel hub requires a separate support structure, resulting in a relatively long axial dimension. 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. Utility Model Content

[0010] The third-stage planetary carrier is fixedly connected to the second-stage sun gear; the second-stage sun gear is located inside the second-stage gear ring, and the second-stage planetary gear meshes with both the second-stage sun gear and the second-stage gear ring. The second-stage planetary gear is connected to the second-stage planetary carrier through the second-stage pin.
[0011] The secondary planetary carrier is fixedly connected to the primary sun gear, which is located inside the primary gear ring. The input end cover is rotatably inserted into the end of the primary gear ring on the side near the primary gear ring. The primary planetary gear meshes with both the primary sun gear and the primary gear ring. The primary planetary gear is rotatably connected to the output shaft disk via a primary pin.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes an output end cap, which is fixedly connected to the end of the third gear ring by a second internal hexagon head screw.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a first bearing mounting hole on the input end cover, wherein the input shaft is mounted in the first bearing mounting hole by a first single-row deep groove ball bearing.

[0015] Furthermore, both the third-stage and second-stage planetary carriers are provided with mounting bores. The second-stage sun gear is press-fitted into the bore of the third-stage planetary carrier, and the second-stage sun gear is coaxially arranged with the third-stage planetary carrier. The first-stage sun gear is press-fitted into the bore of the second-stage planetary carrier, and the first-stage sun gear is coaxially arranged with the second-stage planetary carrier.
[0016] Furthermore, the width of the third-order planetary gear is smaller than the width of the second-order planetary gear, the width of the third-order sun gear is smaller than the width of the second-order sun gear, the width of the second-order planetary gear is smaller than the width of the first-order planetary gear, and the width of the second-order sun gear is smaller than the width of the first-order sun gear.

[0020] Furthermore, the third-stage gear ring, the second-stage gear ring, and the output shaft disc are locked and fixed by the first internal hexagonal head screw.
[0021] The advantages of this high-ratio, high-torque travel reducer are:

Even when the AGV trolley space is limited, it can still meet the assembly requirements.
[0024] (3) When the reducer is installed on the AGV trolley, it can ensure that the motor, reducer and hub center are on the same axis. It has a simple structure, short axial dimension, few types of parts, convenient assembly and low production cost. Attached Figure Description

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the output end cover 21 is provided with a second bearing mounting hole, the input shaft 35 is provided with an axial mounting inner hole, the third-stage sun gear 19 is provided with a third-stage sun gear shaft, one end of the third-stage sun gear shaft is press-fitted into the mounting inner hole of the input shaft 35 so that the two rotate synchronously, and the other end of the third-stage sun gear shaft is rotatably mounted in the second bearing mounting hole through a second single-row deep groove ball bearing 20.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, both the third-stage planetary carrier 23 and the second-stage planetary carrier 28 are provided with mounting inner holes.

The outer rings of the seventh single-row deep groove ball bearing 24 and the eighth single-row deep groove ball bearing 4 are both provided on the inner wall of the first-stage gear ring 34. This not only improves the load-bearing capacity of the reducer, but also shortens the axial dimension of the reducer.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the input end cover 37 and the output shaft disk 31 are connected by a third hexagon socket head cap screw 36.

[0044] Working principle: During operation, the motor drives the input shaft 35 to rotate. The rotation of the input shaft 35 drives the third-stage sun gear 19 to rotate. The third-stage sun gear 19 drives the third-stage planetary gear 17 to rotate on the third-stage pin 16 through external meshing. The third-stage pin 16 drives the third-stage planetary carrier 23 to rotate. The rotation of the third-stage planetary carrier 23 drives the second-stage sun gear 30 to rotate.

The second-stage pin 13 drives the second-stage planetary carrier 28 to rotate. The rotation of the second-stage planetary carrier 28 drives the first-stage sun gear 33 to rotate. The first-stage sun gear 33 drives the first-stage planetary gear 8 to rotate on the first-stage pin 7 through external meshing. Since the output shaft disk 31 is fixed, the first-stage planetary gear 8 rotates around its axis. At the same time, the first-stage planetary gear 8 and the first-stage ring gear 34 rotate through internal meshing. That is, the input shaft 35 is the input, and the first-stage ring gear 34 is the output.
[0045] Understandably, when using this high-ratio, high-torque travel reducer, the wheels of the AGV can be directly fitted and fixed to the outer wall of the first-stage gear ring 34. This allows the AGV wheels to directly utilize the internal support of the reducer, simplifying the AGV structure, enhancing its load-bearing capacity, and reducing the space occupied by the reducer. Even with limited space in the AGV, assembly requirements can still be met. When installed on the AGV, the motor shaft is connected to the reducer's input shaft 35, ensuring that the motor, reducer, and wheel hub centers are on the same axis. This results in a simple structure, short axial dimension, fewer parts, convenient assembly, and low production cost.
