Abstract

Provided is a planetary gear train for transmission of e-bike motor, including: a carrier protrusively formed in a center with a stator axis insertion boss provided with a stator axis insertion groove in a shape corresponding to that of the stator axis for insertion of the stator axis, and mounted with a plurality of gear installation units; a plurality of planetary gears interposed rotatably mounted at an upper surface of the gear installation unit of the carrier; and a fixing pin rotatably mounting the plurality of planetary gears on the gear installation units, wherein the fixing pin includes a pin head inhibiting the planetary gears from deviating.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A planetary gear train for transmission of an e-bike motor, the planetary gear train comprising:
a first carrier having a stator shaft insertion boss protrusively formed in a center to be coupled with a stator shaft, wherein the stator shaft insertion boss is provided with a stator shaft insertion groove in a shape corresponding to that of the stator shaft, and a plurality of first gear installation units at a distal end of the first carrier;
a second carrier coupled with the first carrier and having a plurality of second gear installation units at a distal end of the second carrier, wherein a position of each of the plurality of second gear installation units corresponds to that of each of the plurality of first gear installation units of the first carrier, and mounted in a center with a boss insertion hole penetratively coupled by the stator shaft insertion boss;
a plurality of planetary gears interposed between the first and second installation units of the first and second carriers;
a fixing pin interposed between the first and second carriers for rotatably supporting each of the planetary gears arranged on the first and second gear installation units, respectively; and
a bearing coupled to the fixing pin for rotatably supporting each planetary gears, wherein the bearing includes an outer ring centrally fixed at the planetary gear and an inner ring coupled by the fixing pin;
wherein the first gear installation unit includes a first support ring protruded from an inner surface of the first carrier toward the second carrier to rotatably support the bearing,
wherein the second gear installation unit includes a second support ring protruded from an inner surface of the second carrier toward the first carrier to rotatably support the bearing, and
wherein each of the first and second support rings is centrally and penetratively formed with a pin hole in an inner circumference thereof to prevent a penetration of the fixing pin.

2. The planetary gear train of claim 1 , wherein each of the pin holes of the first and second support rings is coupled to the fixing pin, each of the pin holes having a diameter corresponding to that of the fixing pin.

3. The planetary gear train of claim 1 , wherein the planetary gear is centrally formed with a bearing accommodation hole having a diameter corresponding to that of the outer ring of the bearing.

4. The planetary gear train of claim 3 , wherein the inner ring of the bearing includes a bearing pin hole having a diameter corresponding to a diameter of the first or the second pin hole coupled to the fixing pin.

5. The planetary gear train of claim 3 , wherein the first and second support rings respectively support the inner ring of the bearing.

6. The planetary gear train of claim 1 , wherein the first and second carriers are provided in a cross (+) shape with four directions being symmetrical, centrally and respectively provided with the stator shaft insertion boss and the boss insertion hole, and the first and second gear installation units are provided at four protrusive distal ends to allow four planetary gears to be rotatably mounted.

7. The planetary gear train of claim 2 , wherein there are first and second through holes at the distal ends of the first and second pin holes, respectively.

8. The planetary gear train of claim 7 , wherein each of the first and second through holes has a diameter smaller than that of the first and second pin holes, respectively.

9. A planetary gear train for transmission of an e-bike motor, the planetary gear train comprising:
a first carrier having a stator shaft insertion boss protrusively formed in a center to be coupled with a stator shaft, wherein the stator shaft insertion boss is provided with a stator shaft insertion groove corresponding to that of the stator shaft, and a plurality of first gear installation units at a distal end of the first carrier;
a second carrier coupled with the first carrier and having a plurality of second gear installation units at a distal end of the second carrier, wherein position of each of the plurality of second gear installation units corresponds to that of each of the first gear installation units, and mounted in a center with a boss insertion hole penetratively coupled by the stator shaft insertion boss;
a plurality of planetary gears interposed between the first installation units of the first carriers and the second installation units of the second carriers;
a fixing pin interposed between the first and second carriers for rotatably supporting each of the planetary gears arranged on the first and second gear installation units; and
a bearing coupled to the fixing pin for rotatably supporting each of the planetary gears, wherein the bearing includes an outer ring centrally fixed at the planetary gear and an inner ring coupled by the fixing pin,
wherein the first gear installation units each includes a first support ring protruded from an inner surface of the first carrier toward the second carrier,
wherein the second gear installation units each includes a second support ring protruded from an inner surface of the second carrier toward the first carrier,
wherein the first and second support rings are centrally and penetratively formed with a first and second pin hole in an inner circumference thereof, respectively,
wherein the first and second pin holes are formed with first and second through holes at a distal end thereof, respectively, and
wherein the first and second through holes have diameters smaller than diameters of the first and the second pin holes, respectively.

10. The planetary gear train of claim 9 , wherein the planetary gear is centrally formed with a bearing accommodation hole having a diameter corresponding to that of the outer ring of the bearing.

11. The planetary gear train of claim 10 , wherein the inner ring of the bearing includes a bearing pin hole having a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the first or the second pin hole coupled to the fixing pin.

12. The planetary gear train of claim 10 , wherein the first and second support rings each supports the inner ring of the bearing.
