[0050] Based on the electric wheelchair wheelchair disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. 202323611386.3, combined with Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated motor-driven wheelchair wheel, comprising:
[0051] A drive motor 1, the drive motor 1 includes a motor housing 11 and an output shaft 12 rotatably disposed in the motor housing 11, and a drive gear 121 is mounted on the output shaft 12;
[0052] Wheel 2, which is rotatably mounted on motor housing 11;
[0053] Transmission ring 3, the inner sidewall of which is provided with internal teeth 31;
[0054] A plurality of rotatably arranged transmission gears 4 are engaged between the drive gear 121 and the internal gear 31, and the plurality of transmission gears 4 are centrally symmetrically distributed around the center of the output shaft 12.
[0055] A clutch device is provided between the wheel body 2 and the transmission ring 3. The clutch device is used to switch the connection and separation of the wheel body 2 and the transmission ring 3.
[0056] Based on the above device, its usage is as follows: In electric mode, the clutch switches to connect wheel 2 and transmission ring 3, and the drive motor 1 drives the output shaft 12 to rotate. The rotation of wheel 2 is achieved through the drive gear 121, transmission gear 4, and transmission ring 3. In manual mode, the clutch switches to disengage wheel 2 and transmission ring 3, allowing wheel 2 to be manually rotated. Since several transmission gears 4 are centrally symmetrically distributed around the center of the output shaft 12, the stability of the transmission between the output shaft 12 and the transmission ring 3 can be improved, thereby enhancing performance. In this embodiment, a pair of transmission gears 4 are provided.
[0057] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the transmission gear 4 includes a first gear 41, a second gear 42 and a gear shaft 43. The first gear 41 and the second gear 42 are coaxially mounted on the gear shaft 43. The first gear 41 is meshed with the drive gear 121 and the second gear 42 is meshed with the internal gear 31.
[0058] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the motor housing 11 includes an inner housing 111 and a mounting end cover 112. The inner housing 111 is used to house the stator and coil of the motor housing 11. The mounting end cover 112 is connected to the outer axial end of the inner housing 111. The transmission gear 4 is rotatably mounted between the inner housing 111 and the mounting end cover 112 in the axial direction. The mounting end cover 112 is placed in the inner ring of the transmission ring 3.
[0059] In this embodiment, bearings are respectively embedded in the inner shell 111 and the mounting end cover 112, and the two ends of the gear shaft 43 are rotatably mounted in the bearings on the inner shell 111 and the mounting end cover 112.
[0060] In this embodiment, the end of the mounting end cover 112 away from the inner shell 111 is provided with a bearing mounting groove 1121 and a limiting tube 1122 concentric with the output shaft 12. The limiting tube 1122 is in the center of the bearing mounting groove 1121 so that the cavity of the bearing mounting groove 1121 is annular.
[0061] The wheel body 2 includes a motor mounting cover 21 located in the center. The motor mounting cover 21 is sleeved on the motor housing 11 and is rotatably connected to the motor housing 11. The motor mounting cover 21 includes a limiting cover 211 located at the end of the mounting end cover 112 away from the inner housing 111. The end of the limiting cover 211 near the mounting end cover 112 is integrally provided with an annular bearing mounting seat 2111. The end of the limiting cover 211 away from the mounting end cover 112 is provided with a first oil seal groove 2112. The limiting tube 1122 passes through the inner hole of the bearing mounting seat 2111.
[0062] It also includes a first bearing 61, the inner ring of which is mounted on the bearing mounting seat 2111, and the outer ring of which is embedded in the bearing mounting groove 1121; it also includes a first oil seal 71, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting tube 1122 and embedded in the first oil seal groove 2112.
[0063] Based on the above structure, the stability of the rotational connection between the mounting end cover 112 and the limiting cover 211 and the sealing of the rotational connection position can be taken into account.
[0064] Combination Figure 2, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the motor housing 11 further includes a sealing cover 113. The sealing cover 113 is annular and is sealed to one end of the inner housing 111 near the mounting end cover 112. The inner edge of the sealing cover 113 away from the inner housing 111 is sealed to the outer edge of the transmission ring 3 near the first gear 41 through a second oil seal 72 in an annular shape.
[0065] The limiting cover 211 has an annular groove 2110 inside, and the transmission ring 3 is rotatably disposed in the groove 2110. The clutch device is installed on the limiting cover 211 and is used to switch the connection and separation of the limiting cover 211 and the transmission ring 3. The end face of the limiting cover 211 near the motor housing 11 has an annular sealing groove 2113. The end of the transmission ring 3 away from the first gear 41 is rotatably disposed in the annular sealing groove 2113. The annular sealing groove 2113 has an annular third oil seal 73. The third oil seal 73 is used to seal the limiting cover 211 and the end of the transmission ring 3 away from the motor housing 11.
[0066] Therefore, the sealing cover 113 and the transmission ring 3 together form a cylindrical sealing area on the end of the motor housing 11. The two ends of the cylindrical sealing area are sealed by the limiting cover 211 and the inner shell 111, respectively. The transmission gear 4 and the mounting end cover 112 are set in the cylindrical sealing area to ensure the sealing of the lubricating medium of the rotating parts.
[0067] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a quick-release rod 51 is coaxially inserted inside the output shaft 12, and the quick-release rod 51 is inserted into the limiting tube 1122; a reset spring 52 is sleeved on the quick-release rod 51 inside the limiting tube 1122, and an annular flange 11221 is provided inside the limiting tube 1122. The annular flange 11221 is located at one end of the reset spring 52 near the motor housing 11, and a sealing ring 74 is tightly sleeved on the quick-release rod 51. The reset spring 52 tightly presses the sealing ring 74 onto the annular flange 11221.
[0068] Based on the above device, a seal can be achieved between the limiting tube 1122 and the quick-release rod 51.
[0069] Combination Figure 2 , Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the clutch device includes:
[0070] Rotary cap 81 is sleeved on limit cover 211, and a transmission guide surface 811 is provided on the inner side of cap 81;
[0071] Rotate the locking tongue 82 mounted on the limiting cover 211. The locking tongue 82 is located outside the groove cavity 2110. One end of the locking tongue 82 is provided with a lock head 821, and the other end is provided with a transmission protrusion 822.
[0072] The elastic element 83 abuts against the end of the latch 82 away from the lock head 821 to press the transmission protrusion 822 onto the transmission guide surface 811.
[0073] The limiting cover 211 has an opening 2114, through which the transmission protrusion 822 passes and enters the groove 2110; the outer side of the transmission ring 3 has notches 32 arranged axially to match the lock head 821.
[0074] Rotating the cover 81 causes the transmission guide surface 811 to drive the latch 82 to rotate, so that the lock head 821 enters or leaves the notch 32 to switch the engagement / disengagement state of the limit cover 211 and the transmission ring 3.
[0075] In this embodiment, a guide block 812 is installed on the inner wall of the screw cap 81, and a transmission guide surface 811 is disposed on the guide block 812.

[0077] This achieves axial positioning of the screw cap 81 and the limiting cap 211. Specifically, the opening 2114 is provided on the annular limiting groove 2115, and the locking tongue 82 is rotatably installed in the annular limiting groove 2115.
[0078] In this embodiment, the inner side of the cap 81 is provided with a rotation limiting protrusion 813, which is located at both ends of the latch 82 corresponding to the rotation direction of the cap 81.
[0079] When rotating the cap 81, the rotation angle of the cap 81 is limited by the contact between the rotating limiting protrusion 813 and the end of the locking tongue 82, so as to prevent over-rotation.
