  • Patent number: 10844945
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a ring gear and a gear reduction device. The ring gear includes an annular body with a plurality of mounting portions, and a plurality of teeth arranged on an inner circumferential surface of the annular body. The annular body and the teeth are integrally formed from powder metal, and the mounting portions and the teeth are at least partly overlapped in an axial direction of the annular body. The mounting portions are integrally formed with the annular body and the teeth, which results in concentricity between the mounting portion and the teeth being improved and cost of the ring gear being reduced. Furthermore, the mounting portions are overlapped with the teeth, which reduces the axial size of the ring gear.

  • Patent number: 10443688
    Abstract: A driving device includes a motor and a gearbox. The gearbox includes a first sun gear, first planetary gears surrounding and engaged with the first sun gear, and a first internal gear ring surrounding and engaged with the first planetary gears. The first sun gear is coaxially fixed to a rotary shaft of the motor. Meshing planes of the first sun gear and the first planetary gears are slanted with respect to the rotary shaft. Each of the first planetary gears is subjected to an externally-exerted first force and exerts a transverse component of force toward the rotary shaft on the first sun gear. The motor structure of the driving device is simplified, which makes the driving device have a more compact structure, lighter weight and lower cost.

  • Publication number: 20170326712
    Abstract: A driving device includes a motor and a gearbox. The gearbox includes a sun gear, planetary gears surrounding and meshing with the sun gear, and an internal ring gear surrounding and meshing with the planetary gears. The motor is a single phase motor. The sun gear is integrally formed with a rotary shaft of the motor. A power tool is also disclosed which includes the driving device, a rotatable working head driven by the driving device, and a striking unit disposed between the driving device and the working head. By integrating the sun gear and the motor rotary shaft to form an integral gear shaft, the number of the teeth of the sun gear can be reduced to five or less. Therefore, the transmission ratio of the gearbox can be effectively increased without changing the maximum geometric outer diameter.

  • Patent number: 9506539
    Abstract: An actuator for a vehicle door lock mechanism has a motor, a first gear, a second gear and a third gear. The motor has a shaft to which the first gear is connected. The motor rotates the first gear, which in turn drives the second gear and the third gear. A non-tooth part is formed on the second gear. A projection is formed on the third gear. Stops are arranged for stopping rotation of the third gear. When the second gear rotates to a position where the non-tooth part corresponds to the third gear, the projection is spaced from one stop by an angle. When the second gear rotates further, the gears re-mesh and the third gear rotates till the projection contacts the stop.
