Decelerator and motor brake with the same
View Patent ↗Disclosed are a decelerator configured so that a planet gear type first deceleration unit is provided inside a cycloid type second deceleration unit to provide eccentric rotational force to the second deceleration unit and a motor brake with the same. In the decelerator, the increase in axial thickness of a motor is restrained, and a deceleration ratio is effectively increased. In the motor brake with the decelerator, the deceleration ratio of the motor is increased, and the increase in total length of the motor brake is restrained by the decelerator, thereby improving space utilization.
1. A decelerator comprising:
a first deceleration unit comprising a sun gear provided to rotate coaxially with an input shaft, a plurality of planet gears provided around the sun gear to revolve around the sun gear while rotating on their axes during rotation of the sun gear, and a ring gear fixed in a state in which the ring gear is circumscribed about the planet gears to guide revolution of the planet gears;
a carrier mounted around the first deceleration unit to be eccentrically rotated according to the revolution of the planet gears; and
a second deceleration unit comprising an inner gear disposed around the carrier to be eccentrically rotated together with the carrier, the inner gear having cycloid teeth formed at an outer circumference of the inner gear and a plurality of through holes provided between an inner circumference and the outer circumference of the inner gear in a circumferential direction, an outer gear provided outside the inner gear so that the outer gear is provided with teeth corresponding to the cycloid teeth at an inner circumference of the outer gear, and an output member provided with a plurality of protrusions arranged in a circumferential direction along an edge of the output member at one side to be inserted into the through holes, each of the protrusions having a smaller diameter than each of the through holes, and provided with an output shaft at a center of the output member at another side,
wherein the carrier comprises a ring provided to surround an outer circumference of the ring gear and a plate to close one end of the ring, the carrier having a cup shape to receive the first deceleration unit therein,
