[0002] The wheel hub motor technology is also known as the in-wheel motor technology. Its biggest feature is that the power, transmission and braking devices are all integrated into the wheel hub, thus greatly simplifying the mechanical part of the electric vehicle. In the 1970s, this technology was applied in fields such as mining transport vehicles. As for the wheel hub motors used in passenger cars, Japanese manufacturers started the research and development of this technology earlier and are currently in a leading position. International auto giants including General Motors and Toyota have also been involved in this technology.

[0003] In my country, the research on wheel hub motors is mostly concentrated in colleges and universities, and the products are all electric vehicles. However, the research on wheel hub motor driving technology is not yet mature, especially in the development of high-torque wheel hub motors, which still has a certain gap with foreign advanced products. Therefore, my country still needs to increase investment in the research and development of wheel hub motor technology, improve core competitiveness, narrow the gap, and strive to reach the world's advanced level. At present, the wheel hub motor greatly increases the unsprung mass and the rotational inertia of the wheel hub, which is not conducive to the vehicle's handling performance. In the existing technology, there is no technology that highly integrates the wheel hub motor, shock absorber and deceleration device. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention proposes an automobile chassis integrated module system, which highly integrates the wheel hub motor, the shock absorbing device and the reduction device into a whole to form an efficient and high power density drive module, thereby effectively reducing the unsprung mass of the entire vehicle.

[0006] Furthermore, in the present invention, the shock absorbing device includes a shock absorbing device housing, a shock absorbing spring, and a shock absorber. The shock absorbing spring and the shock absorber are both arranged in the shock absorbing device housing, the shock absorber is arranged on the center line of the shock absorbing device housing, and the shock absorbing spring is arranged on the outside of the shock absorber.

[0007] Furthermore, in the present invention, the cross section of the shock absorbing device housing is a rectangular structure, and the shock absorbing device housing is a stepped structure, with a smaller cross-sectional area at the upper end.

[0008] Furthermore, in the present invention, the reduction gear includes a reduction gear housing, a planetary gear carrier, a bearing, a sun gear, a bridge gear, an end cover, a cover plate, and a loosening bolt; one end of the reduction gear housing is a circular structure, and the other end is a rectangular structure; the upper end of the shock absorber housing and the steering motor are both arranged in the rectangular structure of the reduction gear housing; the planetary gear carrier, the bearing, and the sun gear are superimposed and arranged in the circular structure of the reduction gear housing; the bridge gear is arranged in the reduction gear housing and meshes with the gears of the planetary gear carrier and the steering motor; the cover plate and the end cover are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the reduction gear housing; the circular structure end of the reduction gear housing is connected to the vehicle body connecting plate.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: first, the present invention integrates the wheel hub motor, the shock absorbing device and the reduction device into a whole to form a high-efficiency, high-power density drive module with a light overall weight, which effectively reduces the unsprung mass of the whole vehicle; second, the present invention adopts a quick-connect method with the vehicle body interface to facilitate rapid disassembly and assembly; third, the present invention adopts a planetary gear reducer with light weight and reliable structure, and the power transmission gear is a non-standard product with high transmission efficiency and low noise.
