CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
The present application is based on, and claims the priority from, Chinese application number CN 202120550006.1, filed on Mar. 17, 2021, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The disclosure relates to the technical field of power tools, in particular to a gear assembly, a transmission mechanism and an electric drill.
BACKGROUND
Electric drills are widely used in sloping, sandy, and hard soil for seedling landscaping projects to plant and dig pits, and excavate the periphery of large trees. However, in the conventional electric drill transmission structure, in a matching part between the planetary gear and the output shaft pin, the shaft-hole fit method is often used, and the clearance is properly reserved to achieve a purpose of a clearance fit. In order to improve the lubrication state of the shaft hole, it is only possible to appropriately increase the fit clearance, but this will affect the positioning accuracy of the planetary gear. And since the secondary planetary gear will bear a large load, eventually a large pressure will be generated between the planetary gear hole and the output shaft pin. In a presence of oil film, it can work normally under a large load. If after a period of use, due to the large pressure and small clearance fit, the oil film between the pin and the gear hole is damaged and not replenished in time, which will cause a metal dry grinding under an action of the large load to further deteriorate the oil film, and eventually a failure of the gear hole and the output shaft pin due to a gluing by the deteriorated oil.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. In an embodiment of the disclosure, the supporting assembly 10 includes a supporting plate 11 and a bracket 12. The supporting plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 12. The supporting plate 11 is provided with a through hole 111 matched with the driving assembly 40 and a moment bearing component 112. The moment bearing components 112 are evenly distributed and arranged along a periphery of the through hole 111 to bear a moment transmitted by the driving assembly 40 to the supporting plate 11. A quantity of the moment bearing components 112 may be set as required. When the number of the moment bearing components 112 is multiple, the moment bearing components 112 are evenly distributed and arranged on the periphery of the through hole 111, so that each of the moment bearing components 112 may bear substantially equal moments, thereby effectively preventing some moment bearing components 112 from being easily damaged due to an uneven bearing of the moment. The bracket 12 includes a main arm 121 and a handle 122. The handle 122 is defined through bending and extending from both sides of the main arm 121. The handle assembly 20 is mounted on the handle 122. The supporting plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the main arm 121 by screws. In an embodiment, a handle grip 1221 is arranged on the handle 122 to improve a user's feeling.
