    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a gearbox housing. The gearbox housing has a housing body and an annular gear. The housing body comprises an annular support and a lateral portion provided at a side face of the annular support. The lateral portion has a hole formed thereon for an input shaft to pass through. The annular gear is provided inside of the housing body along a radial direction and adapted to couple to the annular support, wherein a plurality of teeth are circumferentially provided at an inner side of the annular gear. A gear wheel with an output shaft is adapted to couple to the plurality of teeth.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a transmission gear and a deceleration mechanism including the same. The transmission gear includes a metal ring; and a plastic gear member integral with the metal ring by injection molding, the metal ring is coaxially wrapped in the plastic gear member and provided with a locating portion for locating the metal ring in an injection mold, the plastic gear member having an outer circumference that is tooth-shaped, and the plastic gear member being formed with an input hole thereon through which an input shaft passes, an outer ring surface of the metal ring being adjacent to the outer circumference, and an inner ring surface of the metal ring having a diameter greater than or equal to that of the input hole. Since almost no shrinkage occurs to the plastic gear member during injection molding, such a transmission gear has good dimensional accuracy, strength and rigidity.
