Abstract

The present disclosure provides an internal ring gear, a driving assembly having the internal ring gear, and an application device employing the driving assembly. The internal ring gear includes at least two ring gears integrally arranged in parallel at an inner surface of a single housing.

Claims (24)

1. An internal ring gear comprising:

a housing; and

at least two internal ring gears integrally arranged at an inner surface of the housing, wherein the outer surface of the housing is smooth, and a diameter of the outer surface of the housing is consistent; the housing and the internal ring gears being a one piece monolithic integral unit made of powder metal material.

2. The internal ring gear of claim 1 , comprising: a helical ring gear and a spur ring gear, the teeth of the helical ring gear are disposed at an oblique angle with respect to an axial direction of the housing, and the teeth of the spur ring gear are disposed along the axial direction of the housing.

3. The internal ring gear of claim 1 , wherein the powder metal material has a density less than 92% of its theoretical density, and a mass of 6.0 to 8.0 grams per cubic millimeter.

4. A driving assembly comprising:

a motor; and

a gearbox comprising an internal ring gear, the internal ring gear comprising

a housing; and

at least two ring gears integrally arranged at an inner surface of the housing, wherein the outer surface of the housing is smooth, and a diameter of the outer surface of the housing is consistent; the housing and the internal ring gears being a one piece monolithic integral unit made of powder metal material.

5. The driving assembly of claim 4 , wherein the internal ring gears comprises a helical ring gear and a spur ring gear, the teeth of the helical ring gear are disposed at an oblique angle with respect to an axial direction of the housing, and the teeth of the spur ring gear are disposed along the axial direction of the housing.

6. The driving assembly of claim 4 , wherein the s powder metal material has a density less than 92% of its theoretical density, and a mass of 6.0 to 8.0 grams per cubic millimeter.

7. The driving assembly of claim 4 , wherein mounting structures are provided at two end portions of the internal ring gear, the mounting structure at one of the two end portions is configured to mount the internal ring gear to the motor, and the mounting structure at the other of the two end portions is configured to mount the internal ring gear to a mounting seat of the driving assembly.

8. The driving assembly of claim 7 , wherein the gearbox is directly fixed mounted to the mounting seat, and the mounting seat is connected with a load.

9. The driving assembly of claim 4 , wherein positioning structures are provided at two end portions of the internal ring gear, the positioning structure at one of the two end portions is configured to position the internal ring gear relative to the motor, and the positioning structure at the other of the two end portions is configured to position the internal ring gear relative to the mounting seat.

10. The driving assembly of claim 5 , wherein the gearbox comprises a first planetary gear train and a second planetary gear train, the first planetary gear train is a helical gear train including the helical ring gear, and the second planetary gear train is a spur gear train including the spur ring gear.

11. An application device comprising a driving assembly, the driving assembly comprising:

a motor; and

a gearbox comprising an internal ring gear, the internal ring gear comprising

a housing;

and at least two ring gears integrally arranged at an inner surface of the housing, wherein the outer surface of the housing is smooth, and a diameter of the outer surface of the housing is consistent; the housing and the internal ring gears being a one piece monolithic integral unit made of powder metal material.

12. The application device of claim 11 , wherein the application device is a lawnmower or a power lifting door for vehicle.

13. The application device of claim 11 , comprising: a helical ring gear and a spur ring gear, the teeth of the helical ring gear are disposed at an oblique angle with respect to an axial direction of the housing, and the teeth of the spur ring gear are disposed along the axial direction of the housing.

14. The application device of claim 11 , wherein the powder metal material has a density less than 92% of its theoretical density, and a mass of 6.0 to 8.0 grams per cubic millimeter.
