AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing electric folding wheelchairs have a large distance between the output ends of the left and right motor assemblies, which prevents the packaging space from being effectively reduced, thus limiting transportation and storage costs.

Method used

The left and right motor assemblies have the same structure and are arranged symmetrically. The input motor, transmission gear set and output gear assembly are installed in a straight line with their centers on the same axis. The driving gear meshes with the driven gear. The diameter of the first driven gear is larger than the diameter of the second driven gear and the driving gear, thus achieving a straight structure. The staggered installation reduces packaging space.

Benefits of technology

Without increasing costs, the packaging space for the motor drive structure is effectively reduced through a linear structure and staggered installation, thus lowering transportation and storage costs.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model discloses a motor transmission structure, belonging to the field of wheelchair technology, specifically relating to a wheelchair motor transmission structure. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of electric folding wheelchairs is mainly based on the combination of an intelligent control system and optimized mechanical structure. Built-in chips and sensors receive operating commands in real time (such as direction control and speed adjustment), and some high-end models support Bluetooth connection to a smartphone app for remote control. Furthermore, they feature a foldable design, using a snap-fit ​​structure for quick folding and securing, reducing weight and improving portability. Some models are equipped with a smart chip driving the motor to complete the folding action, requiring only a button press to unfold or retract.

[0003] The motor drive structure of existing electric folding wheelchairs is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes: input motor 1, transmission gear set 2, output gear assembly 3, left motor assembly 4, and right motor assembly 5;

[0004] The input motor 1, transmission gear set 2, and output gear assembly 3 form a triangular structure, which has the advantage of allowing the gearbox to be made smaller.

[0005] However, this structure also has the following drawbacks:

[0006] like Figure 2 As shown, because the output gear assembly 3 must be coaxially mounted during installation, the distance between the output ends of the left motor assembly 4 and the right motor assembly 5 is relatively large, making it impossible to reduce packaging space. Furthermore, due to structural limitations, even when staggered installation (such as...) Figure 3 (As shown) it also cannot reduce packaging space. Utility Model Content

[0007] Purpose of the utility model: To provide a wheelchair motor transmission structure to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0008] Technical solution: A wheelchair motor transmission structure, the motor transmission structure comprising: a left motor assembly and a right motor assembly;

[0009] The left motor assembly and the right motor assembly have the same structure and are arranged symmetrically.

[0010] Both the left motor assembly and the right motor assembly include: an input motor, a transmission gear set, and an output gear assembly; the input motor, the transmission gear set, and the output gear assembly are mounted in a straight line, and the centers of the input motor, the transmission gear set, and the output gear assembly are on the same axis.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the input motor shaft is provided with a drive gear.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the transmission gear set consists of a first driven gear and a second driven gear; the first driven gear and the second driven gear are connected by a transmission shaft.

[0013] In a further embodiment, the output gear is composed of a driven gear, which is connected via a drive shaft.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the driving gear meshes with the first driven gear, the first driven gear rotates synchronously with the second driven gear, and the driven gear meshes with the second driven gear.

[0015] In a further embodiment, the diameter of the first driven gear is greater than the diameter of the second driven gear and the diameter of the driving gear.

[0016] Beneficial effects: In the installation process of the gear set, the linear structure of this utility model results in a larger external size of the gearbox. However, when assembling it onto the wheelchair, an interlaced installation method can be selected to reduce the packaging space after folding, thereby reducing transportation and storage costs.
