Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to motor drive technology, and in particular to a motor drive unit and method for a mobile platform. Background Technology

[0002] Existing drive motors for vehicles (such as trams) are typically located in the center of the vehicle and are radial flux motors that transmit power to moving actuators (e.g., wheels) via a drive shaft (output shaft). This drive method has many drawbacks, such as low power density, low energy conversion efficiency, excessive space occupation, and impact on the overall vehicle layout. Furthermore, existing technologies suffer from insufficient integration; for example, in some cases, the motor structure fails to integrate the suspension drive function; in others, while attempts have been made to integrate the motor with the active suspension, the structure is overly complex, limiting overall performance. In existing technologies, the wheel drive unit (such as in-wheel motor) and the active suspension system drive unit are often developed and controlled as two independent functional modules. This separate design leads to a complex system structure and an increased number of components, not only increasing the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the entire vehicle but also posing greater challenges to space layout and cost control. In particular, the active suspension system itself is expensive; if its drive unit is separated from the in-wheel motor, it will further increase the space constraints and lightweight design difficulties during the vehicle development process.

[0003] In summary, the shortcomings of the existing technology include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:

[0004] 1. The drive system and suspension system are separated, resulting in a complex structure and high cost.

[0005] 2. Existing known in-wheel motor controls that integrate the suspension and output shaft lack effective decoupling, making the control algorithm quite difficult. Summary of the Invention

This example discloses a motor drive unit 1000 that integrates mobile actuator drive and suspension drive functions, employing an independent dual-rotor and stator integrated structure to drive the wheels and suspension of the mobile platform. The mobile platform basically includes a suspension 10, a support assembly 20, an output shaft 30, and wheels (not shown). The motor drive unit 1000 is driveably connected to the support assembly 20, which is further driveably connected to the suspension 10, so that the motor drive unit 1000 can drive the suspension 10 through the support assembly 20 to achieve active suspension function. The motor drive unit 1000 is driveably connected to the output shaft 30, which is further driveably connected to the wheels, so that the motor drive unit 1000 can drive the wheels through the output shaft 30 to achieve the movement function of the mobile platform. The mobile platform also includes an inner side and an opposite outer side. For ease of description, the direction relative to the outer edge of the mobile platform toward the platform's geometric central axis or central region is defined as the inner side, regardless of whether the central axis is horizontal, vertical, or inclined; the direction opposite to the inner side is defined as the outer side.

[0128] like Figure 1AAs shown, the motor drive unit 1000 basically includes a first output torque drive subunit 1100, a second output torque drive subunit 1200, a stator housing 1300, a first rotor housing 1400, and a second rotor housing 1500. The first rotor housing 1400, the first output torque drive subunit 1100, the stator housing 1300, the second output torque drive subunit 1200, and the second rotor housing 1500 are sequentially connected concentrically to the output shaft 30 along the output shaft center axis x (represented by the dashed line in the figure) from the outer side to the inner side of the moving platform. The first output torque drive subunit 1100 includes a first stator 1110 and a first rotor 1120. The first stator 1110 includes a first stator front side 1111 with a first stator winding, an opposite first stator back side 1112, and a first stator bearing 1113.

[0129] like Figure 1B and Figure 1C As shown and referenced Figure 1A The first rotor 1120 includes a first rotor front 1121 having a first rotor magnet assembly 1123 and a plurality of first rotor magnet slots 1124, and a opposite first rotor back 1122. The first rotor 1120 is generally constructed in a disk shape. The number of magnet slots in the plurality of first rotor magnet slots 1124 is the same as the number of magnets in the first rotor magnet assembly 1123. The plurality of first rotor magnet slots 1124 are arranged equidistantly along the edge of the first rotor front 1121. The size and shape of each magnet slot in the plurality of first rotor magnet slots 1124 are configured to at least partially accommodate and securely mount one magnet from the first rotor magnet assembly 1123. The first stator 1110 is constructed in a disk shape having substantially the same size and shape as the first rotor 1120. During installation, the first stator 1110 is concentrically and pivotally connected to the output shaft 30 via a first stator bearing 1113. The first rotor 1120 is concentrically and fixedly connected to the output shaft 30. The first stator front face 1111 and the first rotor front face 1121 face each other and maintain a certain distance to form a first output torque drive sub-unit 1100, so that when working, the first stator 1110 drives the first rotor 1120 to generate a first output torque, thereby driving the wheel via the output shaft 30.

[0130] Still referencing Figure 1A The second output torque drive subunit 1200 includes a second stator 1210 and a second rotor 1220. The second stator 1210 includes a second stator front side 1211 with second stator windings, an opposite second stator back side 1212, and a second stator bearing 1213. In this example, the configuration and structure of the second rotor 1220 are similar to... Figure 1B and Figure 1CThe first rotor 1120 shown is substantially the same. The second rotor 1220 includes a second rotor front 1221 having a second rotor magnet assembly and a plurality of second rotor magnet slots, a opposite second rotor back 1222, and a second rotor bearing 1223. The overall size and shape of the second rotor 1220 are configured as a disc shape substantially the same as that of the first rotor 1120. The number of magnet slots in the plurality of second rotor magnet slots is consistent with the number of magnets in the second rotor magnet assembly. The plurality of second rotor magnet slots are arranged equidistantly along the edge of the second rotor front. The size and shape of each of the plurality of second rotor magnet slots are configured to at least partially accommodate and securely mount one magnet of the second rotor magnet assembly. The second stator 1210 is configured as a disc shape having a substantially the same size and shape as the second rotor 1220. During installation, the second stator 1210 is concentrically and pivotally connected to the output shaft 30 via the second stator bearing 1213, and the second rotor 1220 is concentrically and pivotally connected to the output shaft 30 via the second rotor bearing 1223. The second rotor 1220 is tractably connected to the support assembly 20 via the second rotor housing 1500. The second stator front face 1211 and the second rotor front face 1221 face each other and maintain a certain distance to form the second output torque drive subunit 1200, such that during operation, the second stator 1210 drives the second rotor 1220 to generate the second output torque, thereby driving the suspension 10 via the support assembly 20. During installation, the first output torque drive subunit 1100 is arranged outside the second output torque drive subunit 1200, and the first stator back face 1112 and the second stator back face 1212 face each other and maintain a certain distance. This distance can isolate the magnetic circuit coupling (such as leakage flux, mutual inductance, etc.) between the first stator 1110 and the second stator 1210. In some embodiments, a magnetic barrier or spacer, such as a magnetic partition made of composite material, can be placed between the first stator back face 1112 and the second stator back face 1212.

[0131] like Figure 1D As shown and referenced Figure 1AThe stator housing 1300 includes a stator housing body 1310, a first set of conduits 1320, a second set of conduits 1330, a first liquid pipe 1340, and a second liquid pipe 1350 passing through the stator housing body 1310. The stator housing body 1310 is essentially constructed as a bottomless cylindrical component, and the circular cross-sectional dimensions of the cylindrical space defined inside it are substantially the same as or slightly larger than the disc-shaped dimensions of the entire first stator 1110 and the entire second stator 1210, thereby allowing the stator housing body 1310 to securely accommodate and install the first stator 1110 and the second stator 1210 within it. During installation, the stator housing 1300 is pivotally connected to the output shaft 30 via the first stator 1110, the first stator bearing 1113, the second stator 1210, and the second stator bearing 1213. The first set of conduits 1310 includes three conduits arranged on the cylindrical surface of the stator housing body 1310 near the side where the first stator 1110 is fixedly mounted. The three wire holes defined in the first set of conduits 1320 on the stator housing body 1310 are sized and shaped to accommodate at least a portion of the conductors of the first stator winding to enter the stator housing body 1310. The second set of conduits 1330 includes three conduits arranged on the cylindrical surface of the stator housing body 1310 near the side where the second stator 1210 is fixedly mounted. The three wire holes defined in the second set of conduits 1330 on the stator housing body 1310 are sized and shaped to accommodate at least a portion of the conductors of the second stator winding to enter the stator housing body 1310. The first liquid conduit 1340 and the second liquid conduit 1350 are arranged on the cylindrical surface of the stator housing body 1310. The size and shape of the liquid hole defined by one of the liquid pipes on the stator housing body are configured to allow motor fluid to be injected into the stator housing body 1310, and the size and shape of the liquid hole defined by the other liquid pipe on the stator housing body are configured to allow motor fluid to be discharged from the stator housing body 1310.

[0132] like Figure 1E and Figure 1F Reference shown Figure 1AThe first rotor housing 1400 includes a first rotor housing body 1410 and an output shaft connection portion 1420 located at its center, having an output shaft connection hole 1421. The first rotor housing body 1410 is substantially constructed as a bottomed cylindrical member, the circular cross-sectional dimension of the cylindrical space defined inside it being substantially the same as or slightly larger than the disk-shaped dimension of the first rotor 1120, thereby allowing the first rotor housing body 1410 to securely accommodate and mount the first rotor 1120. During installation, the first rotor housing 1400 is located outside the stator housing 1300 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft 30 via the output shaft connection portion 1420 and its central output shaft connection hole 1421. During operation, the first rotor housing 1400 transmits at least a portion of the first output torque generated by the first rotor 1120 to the output shaft 30 to drive the wheel.

[0133] like Figure 1G and Figure 1H As shown and referenced Figure 1A The second rotor housing 1500 includes a second rotor housing body 1510, a second rotor bearing receiving portion 1520, a second rotor housing crank 1530, and a second rotor housing bearing 1540. The second rotor housing body 1510 is substantially constructed as a bottomed cylindrical member, with the circular cross-sectional dimensions of its internal cylindrical space being substantially the same as or slightly larger than the disc-shaped dimensions of the second rotor 1220, thereby allowing the second rotor housing body 1510 to securely accommodate and mount the second rotor 1220. During installation, the second rotor housing 1500 is located inside the stator housing 1300. The second rotor housing bearing 1540 is concentrically and pivotally connected to the output shaft 30, and is fixedly mounted to the second rotor housing body 1510 via the second rotor bearing receiving portion 1520, thereby allowing the second rotor housing body 1510 to be pivotally connected to the output shaft 30 via the second rotor housing bearing 1540. The second rotor housing crank 1530 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second rotor housing body 1510 on the side facing the inside of the moving platform. One end of the crank has an extension of the second rotor bearing receiving part 1520, and the other end has a support device connecting shaft 1531.

[0134] like Figure 1AAs shown, the support assembly 20 includes a spring damper 21, a pin 22, and a crank connecting rod 23. The crank connecting rod 23 includes an upper crank connecting rod portion 231 and a lower crank connecting rod portion 232. The spring damper 21 includes an upper damper portion 211 and a lower damper portion 212. The lower crank connecting rod portion 232 is pivotally connected to the support device connecting shaft 1531 of the second rotor housing 1500, thereby drivingly connecting the lower crank connecting rod portion 232 to the second rotor housing 1500 and the second rotor 1220. The upper crank connecting rod portion 231 is pivotally connected to the lower damper portion 212 via the pin 22. The upper damper portion 211 is fixedly connected to the suspension 10, thereby drivingly connecting the second rotor 1220 and the second rotor housing 1500 to the support assembly 20. During operation, the second rotor housing 1500 can transmit at least a portion of the second output torque generated by the second rotor 1220 to the support assembly 20 to drive the suspension, such that the second output torque drives the suspension 10 via the support assembly 20.

[0135] In some embodiments, during installation, the first output torque drive subunit 1100 may also be arranged inside the second output torque drive subunit 1200.

[0136] In some embodiments, the first output torque drive subunit 1100 and the second output torque drive subunit 1200 are structurally and physically decoupled. During operation, the first stator 1110 controls the rotation of the first rotor 1120, which drives the output shaft 30 to move, causing it to drive the wheels. The second stator 1210 controls the rotation of the second rotor 1220, which drives the crank connecting rod 23 to move, causing it to drive the suspension 10. The control of the first stator 1110 and the control of the second stator 1210 are independent of each other. In some embodiments, during operation, the first stator 1110 drives the first rotor 1120 to generate a first output torque, thereby driving the wheels via the output shaft 30. Controllably, the second stator 1210 drives the second rotor 1220 to generate a second output torque, thereby driving the suspension 10 via the support assembly 20. The drive of the first rotor 1120 by the first stator 1110 and the drive of the second rotor 1220 by the second stator 1210 are independent of each other.

[0139] The stator housing, first rotor housing, and second rotor housing of the motor drive unit 2000 are constructed to have substantially the same outer contour dimensions and shape, so that the overall size and shape of the motor drive unit 2000 can match the space defined inside the wheel hub 4 of the electric vehicle wheel, allowing at least a portion of the motor drive unit 2000 to be installed within the space defined inside the wheel hub 4. The output shaft 3 is concentrically and transmissively connected to the wheel hub 4.
