  • Patent number: 10001195
    Abstract: A gear transmission includes a crankshaft, an eccentric rotation gear and a rotation gear. The eccentric rotation gear is configured to rotate eccentrically with a rotation of the crankshaft. The rotation gear meshes with the eccentric rotation gear. The crankshaft includes a shaft portion, a first eccentric portion and a second eccentric portion. The first eccentric portion engages with the eccentric rotation gear. The second eccentric portion is disposed between the shaft portion and the first eccentric portion. A rotation axis of the first eccentric portion is offset with a first distance from a rotation axis of the shaft portion. A rotation axis of the second eccentric portion is offset with a second distance from the rotation axis of the shaft portion. The second distance is shorter than the first distance.
