Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the above-mentioned conventional in-wheel motor system, the wheels 56 and the planetary speed reducer 50b with a relatively large output torque are connected by the constant velocity joint 55 as the power transmission mechanism, so the load torque of the power transmission mechanism is relatively large. So there is a problem with persistence
[0010] In addition, the characteristics of the motor, the reduction ratio of the reduction gear mechanism, etc. need to be selected according to the size of the tire, the required torque, etc. The problem that the electric motor 50a or the planetary reducer 50b cannot be replaced independently

Abstract

An electric motor (10) and a speed reduction gear mechanism (11) are coupled by a flexible coupling (12) that is a power transmission mechanism such as an Oldham's coupling. A casing (11c) of the speed reduction gear mechanism (11) is formed integrally with a knuckle (5) as a component of vehicle's unsprung portion, or alternatively, is attached to the knuckle (5). Further, a motor case (10a) of the electric motor (10) is attached to a motor installation member (4m) via a shock absorbing mechanism (20), the motor installation member (4m) being provided on the lower side of a strut (4) for supporting the knuckle (5). The shock absorbing mechanism (20) has a spring member (21), a damper, and two guide members (23) for guiding the direction of operation of the spring member (21) and the damper. The construction allows the mass of the motor (10) to act as the mass of a dynamic damper. An in-wheel motor system thus obtained improves ground contact performance and ride quality of a vehicle traveling on a bad road and has good space efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an in-wheel motor system having a drive motor for driving the wheel in a wheel, and more particularly to an in-wheel motor system having a structure in which the motor is supported on a running part of a vehicle via a buffer mechanism or a buffer member . Background technique [0002] Recently, an in-wheel motor system in which a drive motor such as a geared motor in which an electric motor is integrally assembled into a wheel is used in a vehicle driven by a motor such as an electric vehicle. In the motor housing, or the electric motor and the planetary reducer are integrally assembled into the motor housing. [0003] On the other hand, in a vehicle having a suspension mechanism such as a spring in the running part, generally, the greater the mass corresponding to the mass of non-suspended parts such as wheels, knuckles, and suspension arms, that is, the so-called unsprung mass, the tires will The more the ground for...
