The axial positioning of the internal gear ring 6 is achieved through the limiting ring 110. No additional fixing structure is required, which reduces the number of parts and shortens the axial dimension.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sun gear 5 is located at the center of the planet gear 4 and meshes with the planet gear 4. The end of the input shaft 8 is gear-shaped and is coaxial with the sun gear 5. The end of the output shaft 9 and the outside of the sun gear 5 are fitted with floating gear sleeves 16. The floating gear sleeves 16 are meshed with the end of the output shaft 8 and the sun gear 5 to achieve smooth power transmission.
