[0011] A coaxial gearbox is known from WO 2012 / 033 043 A1.

[0012] The invention is therefore based on the object of designing a drive that is as compact and powerful as possible.

[0013] According to the invention, the object is achieved by the drive according to the features specified in claim 1.

[0014] Important features of the drive, comprising an electric motor with a gearbox, are that the electric motor has a rotatably mounted rotor shaft, wherein the gearbox has an eccentric gear stage, wherein the rotor shaft has at least a first eccentric region, wherein the first eccentric region has a cylindrical outer circumference, the cylinder symmetry axis of which is aligned parallel and spaced from the axis of rotation of the rotor shaft, in particular wherein the rotor shaft is formed integrally and / or in one piece with the first eccentric region.

[0015] The advantage here is that the drive is compact yet still provides a high gear ratio. Furthermore, the rotor shaft is supported on one side by the eccentric gear stage and on the other side by another bearing. This reduces energy loss, eliminates the need for components such as a rotor shaft bearing, and avoids over-determination of the rotor shaft bearing.

[0016] In an advantageous embodiment, the rotor shaft has a second eccentric area, wherein the second eccentric region has a cylindrical outer circumference, the cylinder symmetry axis of which is aligned parallel and spaced from the axis of rotation of the rotor shaft, in particular, wherein the plane spanned by the cylindrical symmetry axis of the first eccentric region and the plane spanned by the cylindrical symmetry axis of the second eccentric region, in particular a fictitious plane, contains the axis of rotation of the rotor shaft, In particular, the rotor shaft is formed integrally and / or in one piece with the first and second eccentric regions. The advantage here is that the imbalance can be reduced.

[0017] In an advantageous embodiment, the electric motor has a motor housing which is connected at its first axial end region to a bearing plate and which is connected at its second axial end region to a housing part, wherein an outer ring of a bearing, in particular a ball bearing, is accommodated in the bearing shield, the inner ring of which is placed on the rotor shaft, wherein an inner ring of a first rolling bearing is placed on the first eccentric area of ​​the rotor shaft, wherein first rollers roll on the outer circumference of the outer ring of the first rolling bearing and / or on the radial outer circumference of the first rolling bearing, which first rollers project through respective recesses of a rotatably mounted cage and which are delimited by the cage in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction, wherein the axis of rotation of the rotor shaft is coaxial with the axis of rotation of the cage, The first rollers roll on a first shaft contour formed on the inside of the housing part, in particular extending in the circumferential direction. The advantage here is that the rotor shaft directly drives the eccentric gear, thus reducing imbalance.

[0018] In an advantageous embodiment, the cage has a cylindrical extension, wherein at least one additional bearing is mounted on the extension and accommodated in the housing part, in particular wherein the inner ring of the additional bearing is mounted on the extension and the outer ring of the additional bearing is accommodated in the housing part. It is advantageous that the cage itself forms the output shaft.

The advantage here is that the imbalance can be reduced.

[0020] In an advantageous embodiment, the rotor shaft has a shaft collar against which the inner ring of the first rolling bearing is positioned. This is advantageous because it allows for a robust design.

[0021] In an advantageous embodiment, a continuously circumferential annular groove is arranged in the outer circumference of the shaft collar. This has the advantage of reducing the formation of high-frequency vibrations.

[0022] In an advantageous design, - one or more radial bores are made in the shaft collar - or one or more radial bores are introduced into the eccentric areas, in particular wherein the radial bore or the radial bores are arranged at the axial position of the annular groove, in particular and open into the annular groove, in particular wherein the inner ring of the first rolling bearing covers at least one radial bore and / or wherein the inner ring of the second rolling bearing covers at least one radial bore.

[0023] The advantage of this is that the development of vibration resonances is hindered and the gearbox can be operated more robustly. In particular, quieter operation is achievable.

[0024] In an advantageous embodiment, a sealing cover attached, in particular clamped, to an axial projection of the housing part seals towards the rotor shaft, In particular, the sealing cover is designed as a rubberized sheet metal part. This has the advantage that lubricants such as grease do not enter the area of ​​the stator winding.

[0025] In an advantageous embodiment, the respective roller projects in the radial direction through the respective recess of the cage, In particular, the shaft's rotational axis and the cage's rotational axis are coaxially aligned. The advantage here is that the eccentric gear is easy to manufacture.

[0026] In an advantageous embodiment, the shaft contour has a radial spacing that runs periodically in the circumferential direction. This is advantageous because the shaft contour is easy to manufacture and has a high overload capacity.

[0027] In an advantageous embodiment, the axis of rotation of the first rolling bearing is aligned parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor shaft and spaced from the axis of rotation of the rotor shaft, in particular, wherein the rotational axis of the first rolling bearing performs a circular movement around the rotational axis of the rotor shaft during operation of the eccentric gear stage, In particular, the rotational axis of the second rolling bearing performs a circular motion around the rotational axis of the rotor shaft during operation of the eccentric gear stage. This is advantageous in that it is easy to manufacture.

[0028] In an advantageous embodiment, the gearbox housing part is centered on the motor housing and connected and / or secured to the housing part, particularly with screws. This is advantageous because high precision can be achieved.

[0029] In an advantageous embodiment, the eccentric position of the first eccentric region is shifted by 180° in the circumferential direction relative to the eccentric position of the second eccentric region. This has the advantage of reducing imbalance.

[0030] Further advantages emerge from the dependent claims. The invention is not limited to the combination of features in the claims. Further possible combinations of claims and / or individual claim features and / or features of the description and / or the figures will become apparent to those skilled in the art, particularly from the problem and / or the problem posed by comparison with the prior art.

[0031] The invention will now be explained in more detail using schematic illustrations: In the Fig. 1 shows an electric motor according to the invention with an integrated eccentric gear stage in a cut-away oblique view.

[0032] The electric motor has a gear stage which is surrounded by the housing of the electric motor.

[0033] The housing of the electric motor has a motor housing 1, in particular a stator housing, which radially surrounds the stator winding of the electric motor.

[0034] The axial direction is aligned parallel to the direction of the rotational axis of the rotor shaft 4. The radial direction is related to the rotational axis of the rotor shaft 4, as are the radial direction and the circumferential direction.

[0035] The rotatably mounted rotor shaft 4 of the electric motor drives the gear stage.

[0036] The motor housing 1 is connected at its first axial end region to a housing part 5 which radially surrounds the gear stage.

[0037] At its second axial end region, a bearing shield is connected to the motor housing 1, wherein a bearing is accommodated in the bearing shield, by means of which the rotor shaft 4 is rotatably mounted and which thus functions as the first bearing.

[0038] The second bearing of the rotor shaft 4 is via the gear stage.

[0039] The housing part 5 is centered and attached to the motor housing 1.

[0040] The housing part 5 surrounds the gear stage driven by the rotor shaft 4, which is designed as an eccentric gear stage.

[0041] The eccentric gear stage drives a device not shown in the figures, such as another gear.

[0042] For this purpose, a cage 2 of the eccentric gear stage has a shaft stub on the output side, which enables a keyed connection for driving a shaft of the device to be driven. In particular, a keyway is formed in the shaft stub of the cage 2, into which a key is inserted, rotationally fixedly connected to a cage 2 of the eccentric gear stage. Instead of the keyed connection, a spline connection can also be used.

[0043] The eccentric gear stage interacts with eccentric regions (13, 14) formed on the rotor shaft 4. In particular, the rotor shaft 4 is formed integrally with its eccentric regions (13, 14). The eccentric regions are each formed as a cylindrical section, although the cylinder axis is arranged parallel to and spaced from the rotational axis of the rotor shaft 4. The cylinder axes of the two eccentric regions (13, 14) are arranged in a fictitious mathematical plane in which the rotational axis of the rotor shaft 4 is also located.

[0044] A first bearing 8 is mounted on a first eccentric region 14, in particular an eccentric region of these eccentric regions (13, 14) of the rotor shaft 4, the first bearing 8 having its axis of rotation aligned parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor shaft 4 and spaced apart from the axis of rotation of the rotor shaft 4. Rollers 7 of a first row of rollers, spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction, roll on the radial outer circumference of the first bearing 8. The rollers 7 are delimited in the circumferential direction and / or in the axial direction by a recess in a cage 2, in particular a cage 2 which can be connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the shaft of the device to be driven.

[0045] Due to the eccentric arrangement of the first bearing 8, the distance between the rollers 7 is variable during the rotational movement of the cage 2.

[0046] Depending on the eccentric position, the rollers 7 roll radially outwards on the radial inside of the housing part 5, which has a wave contour, in particular a clear inner diameter and / or clear radial distance that is periodically dependent on the circumferential position.

[0047] Further rollers 10 of a second row are spaced axially from the rollers 7 of the first row and roll radially inward on the radial outer circumference of a bearing 9, which is mounted on a further eccentric region 13 of the rotor shaft 4, in particular wherein the eccentric position is shifted by 180° in the circumferential direction compared to the first eccentric region 14. The further rollers 10 of the second row are also each delimited by the cage 2 in the axial direction and in the circumferential direction. The further rollers 10 also roll radially outward on the same or alternatively on a further shaft contour on the inside of the housing part 5.

[0048] During the rotational movement of the rotor shaft 4, the cage 2 is thus set in rotational movement and in this way the shaft of the device to be driven, which is not shown in the figures and is connected to the cage 2, is driven, whereby a very high transmission ratio can be achieved with little space requirement.

[0049] Since the rotor shaft 4 is supported by means of two bearings accommodated in the motor housing 1 and, in addition, the rollers 7 and 10 are supported on the inside of the housing part 5 and also press on the rotor shaft 4 via the bearings 8 and 9, the mechanical overdetermination is mitigated and / or tolerable by suitably designed tolerances.

[0050] The housing part 5 has the shaft contour of the eccentric gear stage on its inner side. The housing part 5 is formed in one piece. The shaft contour is preferably cycloidal in the circumferential direction and is therefore fundamentally different from an involute-toothed ring gear.

[0051] Preferably, the rollers 7 are offset from the rollers 10 in the circumferential direction, in particular by 180° / N, where N is the number of rollers in the first row and the number of rollers in the first row is equal to the number of rollers in the second row. This improves synchronization and also reduces a higher moment of imbalance. Alternatively, the rollers 7 are offset from the rollers 10 in the circumferential direction by 180°.

[0052] Since the interior area of ​​the gear comprising the eccentric areas (13, 14) is at least partially filled with lubricant, a sealing disc 11, in particular a Nilos ring or rubberized sheet metal part, is received on an axial projection of the housing part 5, so that the sealing disc 11 seals off the rotor shaft 4.

[0053] The cage has a stub-shaped extension, which is rotatably mounted via two bearings 12, which are accommodated in the housing part 5. The outer rings of the bearings 12 are accommodated in the housing part 5, and the inner rings of the bearings 12 are placed on the stub-shaped extension of the rotor shaft 12.

[0054] The rotor shaft 4 is supported on the one hand by a bearing not shown in the figures and on the other hand by rollers 7 and 10 rolling on the rolling bearings 8 and 9. Thus, the rotor shaft 4 is supported at two locations, with the stator winding of the electric motor arranged axially between these locations.

[0055] The inner ring of bearing 9 is positioned against a shaft collar 3 of the rotor shaft 4. Radial bores can be drilled into the shaft collar and / or into the eccentric areas 13 and 14. An annular groove is provided in the shaft collar, preferably axially centered, and runs continuously in the circumferential direction. If a radial bore is drilled into the shaft collar 3, it opens into the annular groove.

[0056] In further embodiments according to the invention, an eccentric disc having the eccentric regions 13 and 14 is placed on the rotor shaft 4 and is connected to the rotor shaft 4 in a rotationally fixed manner by means of a key connection.

[0057] Preferably, the eccentric disc has on its radial outer circumference an outer collar projecting axially on both sides and uninterrupted in the circumferential direction and an inner collar projecting axially on both sides and uninterrupted in the circumferential direction.

[0058] The inner collar is arranged radially spaced from the outer collar and / or radially within the outer collar. Radially between the inner collar and the outer collar, on each side, there is a respective recess formed in the eccentric disc in the axial direction, which is interrupted in the circumferential direction by a thickened portion of the eccentric disc. Each recess preferably extends over more than 180°. Axial bores are formed in each thickened portion.

[0059] The thickened portions are diametrically opposed in the circumferential direction, making it easy to avoid imbalance. Alternatively, the thickened portions can also be arranged in the same circumferential angle range, which requires precise balancing, especially for higher torques.

[0060] The recesses are C-shaped.

[0061] Preferably, the axial bores are all arranged at the same radial distance, i.e., at the same distance from the rotational axis of the rotor shaft 4. In particular, the axial bores are evenly spaced from one another in the circumferential direction.

[0062] The respective rolling bearings 8 and 9 are mounted on the outer collar. The inner collar allows for an axially expanded connection area with the rotor shaft 4.

[0063] In further embodiments according to the invention, the bearing of the rotor shaft 4 accommodated in the flange part is omitted, and thus the electric motor is designed with only a single bearing for the rotor shaft 4. When assembling the electric motor with the gearbox, the rotor shaft 4 is inserted into the eccentric disc 3, in particular connected in a rotationally fixed manner by means of a keyway, and thus also mounted within the gearbox via the eccentric disc 3. The tolerance of the rollers (7, 10) can then be selected such that the rotor shaft 4 is mounted on the one hand via the rollers 7 and 10 and on the other hand via a bearing of the electric motor, in particular on the B-side, which acts as the only bearing for the rotor shaft within the motor housing 1 of the electric motor. This also avoids any mechanical overdetermination. However, the electric motor cannot function without the gearbox.
