Abstract

Disclosed herein is a power driving module for a swivel seat. The power driving module rotatably drives a rotating frame with respect to a fixed frame. The power driving module includes: a driving motor installed on the fixed frame; a deceleration unit configured to decelerate and transmit a provided driving force in conjunction with the driving motor; and a ring gear configured to rotate the rotating frame in a forward or reverse direction in conjunction with the deceleration unit; wherein the driving motor includes a hollow output member disposed coaxially with the rotation center of the rotating frame, the ring gear is disposed concentrically with the rotation center of the rotating frame, and the deceleration unit is disposed in a radial structure around the output member of the driving motor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A power driving module for a swivel seat, the power driving module rotatably driving a rotating frame with respect to a fixed frame, comprising:
a driving motor installed on the fixed frame; a deceleration unit configured to decelerate and transmit a provided driving force in conjunction with the driving motor; and a ring gear configured to rotate the rotating frame in a forward or reverse direction in conjunction with the deceleration unit; wherein the driving motor comprises a hollow output member disposed coaxially with a rotation center of the rotating frame, the ring gear is disposed concentrically with the rotation center of the rotating frame, and the deceleration unit is disposed in a radial structure around the output member of the driving motor.

2 . The power driving module of claim 1 , wherein the fixed frame comprises a base plate provided with a hollow boss portion, the hollow output member comprises a rotor rotatably installed on an outer circumferential surface of the hollow boss portion of the base plate and a stator disposed around the rotor and fixed to the base plate, and the rotor is provided with a first worm gear on an outer circumferential surface thereof to transmit a driving force to the deceleration unit.

3 . The power driving module of claim 2 , wherein a bearing is installed on the outer circumferential surface of the hollow boss portion of the base plate, and the rotor is rotatably installed on the outer circumferential surface of the hollow boss portion of the base plate via the bearing.

4 . The power driving module of claim 2 , wherein the deceleration unit comprises:
a first deceleration part configured to firstly decelerate and transmit a rotation of the rotor; a second deceleration part configured to secondly decelerate and transmit a rotation of the first deceleration part; and a third deceleration part configured to thirdly decelerate a rotation of the second deceleration part and transmit it to the ring gear.

5 . The power driving module of claim 4 , wherein:
the first deceleration part comprises a first worm wheel configured to come into external contact with and operate in conjunction with the first worm gear; the second deceleration part comprises a second worm wheel configured to come into external contact with and operate in conjunction with a second worm gear disposed coaxially with the first worm wheel, and a pinion gear disposed coaxially with the second worm wheel; the third deceleration part comprises a ring gear configured to come into external contact with and operate in conjunction with the pinion gear; and the ring gear is disposed on a bottom surface of the load support member to be disposed concentrically with the rotation center of the rotating frame.

6 . The power driving module of claim 5 , further comprising a shaft member configured to allow the first worm wheel and the second worm gear to be coaxially disposed;
wherein both ends of the shaft member are rotatably installed onto mounting brackets; and wherein the mounting brackets are fixed to a housing to which the base plate is coupled.

7 . The power driving module of claim 6 , wherein the mounting brackets comprise a set screw fastened to adjust an axial position with respect to the shaft member, and the set screw is configured to minimize backlash between the second worm gear and the second worm wheel by variably adjusting an axial position of the shaft member with respect to the mounting brackets.
