DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Example 1

[0021] A smart lock motor as shown in Figures 1-4, as shown in Figure 1, includes: a motor 1, a gear transmission device 2 and a reduction device 3, the motor output shaft 11 is connected to the gear transmission device 2, the gear transmission device 2 is connected to one end of the reduction device input shaft 31, and the gear transmission device 2 is used to transmit the driving force of the motor 1 to the reduction device 3.

[0022] The gear transmission device is specifically shown in Figure 2, including a first gear 21, a second gear 22, a third gear 23, a fourth gear 24, a fifth gear 25 and a sixth gear 26. The first gear 21 is connected to the motor output shaft 11, the second gear 22 is meshed with the first gear 21, the third gear 23 is coaxially arranged with the second gear 22, the fourth gear 24 is meshed with the third gear 23, the fifth gear 25 is coaxially arranged with the fourth gear 24, the sixth gear 26 is meshed with the fifth gear 25, and the sixth gear 26 is connected to the speed reduction device input shaft 31. The bottom surfaces of the first gear 21, the second gear 22, the fourth gear 24 and the sixth gear 26 are located at the same A horizontal plane, the bottom surfaces of the third gear 23 and the fifth gear 25 are located in the same horizontal plane; the motor output shaft 11 drives the first gear 21 to rotate, the first gear 21 drives the second gear 22 meshing therewith to rotate, the third gear 23 is coaxially arranged with the second gear 22, the third gear 23 rotates together with the second gear 22 and at the same speed, the third gear 23 drives the fourth gear 24 meshing therewith to rotate, the fourth gear and the fifth gear 25 are coaxially arranged, the fifth gear 25 rotates together with the fourth gear 24 and at the same speed, the fifth gear 25 drives the sixth gear 26 meshing therewith to rotate, and the reduction device input shaft 31 rotates together with the sixth gear 26.

[0023] In a specific embodiment, the radius of the second gear 22 is greater than the radius of the first gear 21, the radius of the fourth gear 24 is greater than the radius of the third gear 23, the radius of the sixth gear 26 is greater than the radius of the fifth gear 25, and the sum of the radii of the second gear 22 and the fifth gear 25 is less than the sum of the radii of the third gear 23 and the fourth gear 24. The transmission ratio can be adjusted by setting the above-mentioned gear radius, and a larger torque output can be achieved in a limited space. The internal space of the lock body can be utilized to a greater extent, which plays a role in deceleration and force increase.

[0024] As shown in Figure 3, the reduction gear 3 includes a housing 32, the other end of the reduction gear input shaft 31 extends into the housing 32 and is drivingly connected to the first sun gear 33, a first planet carrier 34 is provided above the first sun gear 33, and a plurality of first gear shafts 341 are provided at the lower end of the first planet carrier 34, each of which is sleeved with a first planetary gear 35 that meshes with the first sun gear 33, a second sun gear 342 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the first planet carrier 34, a second planet carrier 36 is provided above the first planet carrier 34, and a plurality of second gear shafts 361 are provided at the lower end of the second planet carrier 36, each of which is sleeved with a second planetary gear 37 that meshes with the second sun gear 342, the second planet carrier 36 is fixedly connected to the reduction gear output shaft 39, an inner ring gear 321 is provided inside the housing 32, and the first planetary gears 35 and the second planetary gears 37 are meshed with the inner ring gear 321.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, there are three first planetary gears 35 and three second planetary gears 37 .

[0026] In a specific embodiment, positioning shafts are provided on both the first planet carrier 34 and the second planet carrier 36 , which can effectively ensure that the gears will not be eccentric to one side during reverse driving, and also ensure the concentricity and stability of the internal gear transmission.

[0027] A positioning structure 38 is further provided above the second planetary carrier 36 , through which the output shaft 39 of the reduction gear passes. The positioning structure 38 is bolted to the upper end surface of the housing 32 , and the lower end of the housing 32 is bolted to the base plate 4 .

[0028] In a specific embodiment, a bottom plate 4 is further included. The motor output shaft 11 passes through the bottom plate 4 and is connected to the gear transmission device 2 . The reduction device input shaft 31 passes through the bottom plate 4 and extends into the housing 32 .

[0029] The input shaft 31 of the reduction gear drives the first sun gear 33 to rotate, and the first sun gear 33 drives the first planetary gear 35 meshing with it to rotate. The first planetary gear 35 meshes with the inner ring gear 321 inside the housing 32. Since the housing 32 is fixed to the base plate 4 and the positioning structure 38, the first planetary gear 35 rotates relative to the inner ring gear 321, that is, the first planetary gear 35 revolves relative to the first sun gear 33. Since the first planetary gear 35 is sleeved on the first gear shaft 341 on the first planet carrier 34, the revolution of the first planetary gear indirectly drives the rotation of the first planet carrier 34. The first planet carrier 34 is provided with a second sun gear 342. The second sun gear 342 rotates with the rotation of the first planet carrier 34. The positive gear 342 drives the second planetary gear 37 meshing with it to rotate, and the second planetary gear 37 is also meshed with the inner ring gear 321 inside the housing 32, so the second planetary gear 37 also rotates relative to the inner ring gear 321, that is, the second planetary gear 37 revolves relative to the second sun gear 342. Because the second planetary gear 37 is too fixed on the second gear shaft 361 of the second planetary carrier 36, the revolution of the second planetary gear 37 indirectly drives the second planetary carrier 36 to rotate. The second planetary carrier 36 is fixedly connected to the output shaft 39 of the reduction gear, and therefore indirectly drives the output shaft 39 of the reduction gear to rotate, thereby driving the lock cylinder to rotate; the two-stage planetary gear system not only achieves further deceleration, but also improves the transmission ratio and reduces the back drive force.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, the motor 1 uses a hollow cup motor with low self-locking force to reduce the back-driving force from the source; the gear uses synthetic plastic material according to the torque requirement, and the back-driving force is reduced because the friction coefficient of the plastic material itself is small.
