Abstract
A gear device includes a first gear, a second gear, a third gear, a housing, and a cover. The second gear is offset eccentrically when the first gear is rotated. The third gear is rotated at a speed slower than a rotation speed of the first gear when the second gear is offset eccentrically. The housing accommodates the first gear, the second gear, and the third gear. The cover is attached to the housing. The cover includes a deformation resistance portion that limits deformation of the cover in an axial direction of the third gear.
Claims7
A gear device, comprising:
- a first gear;
- a second gear offset eccentrically when the first gear is rotated;
- a third gear rotated at a speed slower than a rotation speed of the first gear when the second gear is offset eccentrically;
- an output shaft configured to rotate integrally with the third gear;
- a housing that accommodates the first gear, the second gear, the third gear, and at least a part of the output shaft;
- and
- a cover attached to the housing, wherein
- the cover includes an inner peripheral portion, an outer peripheral portion, and a deformation resistance portion, the inner peripheral portion defining an insertion hole, and the deformation resistance portion limiting deformation of the cover in an axial direction of the third gear,
- the output shaft extends through the insertion hole and out of the housing, and
- in the axial direction of the third gear, the inner peripheral portion extends farther toward the third gear than the outer peripheral portion.
