Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of motor wire-passing structures, and in particular relates to a compact motor bracket-type internal wire-passing structure. Background Art

[0002] During the design and manufacturing process, motors are typically integrated with a reduction mechanism in addition to the rotor and stator structures. Depending on the reduction mechanism, their applications vary widely, but a compact structure has always been a common goal for most integrated motors. Taking the integrated motors used in electric bicycles as an example, in order to make the integrated motor structure attached to electric bicycles more compact, various compact structural designs are often required. However, due to the high-speed moving parts inside the motor, a detailed motor design is often impossible. Therefore, in traditional integrated motors, the compact structure can usually only be designed around the motor periphery. This not only makes the motor's external structure overly complex, but also fails to fundamentally solve the problem of compact motor design. In particular, in some motor structures, circuit structures or circuit modules need to be connected to both sides of the motor. Traditionally, these circuit lines are connected through the motor's peripheral structure, which not only makes the circuit longer, but also makes the circuit structure more complex, and not only increases the circuit size and weight. This is very unfavorable for applications with high size and weight requirements, such as bicycle power-assisted motor structures. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments: Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, this compact motor bracket-style internal wire structure is primarily used in hub motors with planetary transmissions. It comprises a hub, within which are mounted a stator-rotor module 1 and planetary modules 2, which are connected in a transmission manner. A primary shaft 3 and a secondary shaft are mounted on either side of the hub. The primary and secondary shafts 3 and 3 are connected by a stator base 4, which has a transmission hole machined in the center. The output shaft 11 of the rotor in the stator-rotor module 1 is mounted within this hole. This motor utilizes an internal rotor structure, with electrical output power being delivered from the output shaft 11. Two or more planetary modules 2 are arranged annularly on the stator base 4 along its axis. The output shaft 11 is machined with sun gears, which mesh with the planetary modules 2 for transmission. An internal ring gear is designed on the inside of the hub, which drives the planetary modules 2. The sun gears and the planetary modules form a planetary transmission structure. The electrical power from the output shaft 11 is transmitted to the hub via a planetary gear structure, enabling the hub to rotate. In this embodiment, the hub motor is mainly used in electric power-assisted bicycles, and its main side shaft 3 and auxiliary side shaft structure are used to connect to the bicycle frame. In the specific design, the inner side of the main side shaft 3 is designed with a connecting structure 31. The connecting structure 31 can use a flange, a frame or other hollow structure. In this embodiment, the connecting structure 31 uses a flange structure. The planetary module is fixed between the connecting structure 31 and the stator seat 4. The planetary module 2 is rotatably coaxially assembled on the planetary shaft, that is, the planetary module 2 can rotate relative to the planetary shaft. The difference between the present invention and the traditional structure is that a strip-shaped bracket 5 is connected between the connecting structure 31 and the stator seat 4. The bracket 5 passes between two adjacent planetary modules 2 of the planetary gear structure. The bracket 5 is processed with a wire groove 51 along its strip structure, and the connecting structure 31 is processed with an external wire hole 32 for connecting the stator and rotor modules 1 with external lines. In this embodiment, the connecting structure 31 is machined with an external wire hole 32 extending through it near the main-side shaft 3. The external wire hole 32 can also be a through hole extending through the main-side shaft 3, and the specific structure is determined according to actual conditions. The lower portion of the external wire hole 32 is connected to the wire slot 51 of the bracket 5. The side of the stator base 4 is machined with a side wire hole 41, which is connected to the wire slot 51. The circuit wires 6 on both sides of the bracket 5 pass through the side wire hole 41, the wire slot 51, and the external wire hole 32.

[0021] This compact motor bracket-type internal wire-passing structure is mainly used in the motor of an electric power-assisted bicycle. When the motor is designed and assembled, a connection circuit is designed on one side of the motor stator. In this motor, by adopting a planetary transmission structure, the gap between adjacent planetary gears in the planetary transmission structure is utilized to design a gap structure that can be embedded in the traditional planetary reduction structure to complete the circuit connection structure. The passing wire is guided and protected by a specific bracket 5 structure. The bracket 5 can be assembled inside the planetary structure without taking up additional space, making the wire shorter, easier to connect, and the electrical connection more stable. At the same time, this internal circuit connection method passes the wire through the external wire-passing hole 32 at the flange position of the main side shaft 3. Because it is guided and accommodated by the internal wire-passing groove 51 structure of the bracket 5, not only the wire is the shortest, but also different wires are not easily broken when multiple wires are connected, which can effectively reduce the damage of the circuit and increase the service life of the motor. At the same time, the independent design of the bracket structure makes the installation of the wire more convenient and the connection and assembly between the components more convenient and free, which can effectively reduce the assembly cost of the circuit. In the specific connection, the circuit line 6 of the stator in the stator-rotor module passes through the side wire hole 41, the wire groove 51, and the outer wire hole 32 and is connected to the external control module.

[0022] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting structure 31 adopts a flange structure, and the connecting structure 31 is processed integrally with the main side shaft 3. This can effectively ensure the strength of the connecting structure 31, while ensuring the processing accuracy on the main side shaft 3 and the connecting structure 31, making the device size more accurate.

[0023] In the specific design, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the planetary module 2 includes two coaxially fixedly connected input planetary gears 21 and output planetary gears 22. The input planetary gears 21 mesh with the sun teeth on the output shaft 11, and the output planetary gears 22 mesh with the internal teeth of the hub. The diameter of the input planetary gears 21 is larger than that of the output planetary gears 22, and the bracket 5 passes between adjacent output planetary gears 22. This is equivalent to adding a reduction structure to the original planetary reduction structure, resulting in a higher reduction ratio. At the same time, the small size of the output planetary gears 22 makes it easier to assemble the bracket 5 between adjacent output planetary gears 22. The input planetary gears 21 and output planetary gears 22 are machined integrally. This reduces the number of parts to be assembled, making assembly more convenient, while ensuring the connection strength between the input planetary gears 21 and the output planetary gears 22 and the overall machining accuracy.

[0024] The output shaft 11 and the sun gear are integrally machined, meaning the output shaft 11 is a gear shaft. The sun gear of the output shaft 11 meshes with the input planetary gear 21. This gear shaft design allows for a more compact transmission design while effectively ensuring the precision and connection strength between the sun gear and the output shaft 11. This reduces the number of parts and facilitates assembly.

[0025] In the specific design, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a countersunk limiting hole 33 is machined at the lower exit position of the outer wire hole 32. An annular limiting post 52 is machined on the upper inner end of the bracket 5 to be limitedly assembled within the limiting hole. The center of the limiting post 52 is hollowed out and communicates with the wire groove 51. A connecting block 53 is machined on the lower outer end of the bracket 5, and the connecting block 53 is fixedly connected to the stator base 4. The combination of the limiting hole 33 and the limiting post 52 allows the bracket 5 structure to achieve positioning of the connection structure 31, i.e., the flange position. When the positioning structure is assembled, the bracket 5 can rotate around the limiting hole 33 to a certain angle, facilitating overall assembly.

[0026] During the specific design, when the other end of the bracket 5 is assembled, a fixing hole 54 is machined into the connecting block 53. The stator base 4 is designed with a threaded hole corresponding to the fixing hole 54. The connecting block 53 is secured by a bolt passing through the fixing hole 54. The bolt structure locks the connecting block 53 of the bracket 5, and combined with the positional positioning of the bracket 5's limiting post 52, the bracket 5 is fully fixed in position, ensuring that the bracket 5 is fixed in the motor.

[0027] The upper portion of the bracket 5 is open, allowing the wiring to be directly assembled into the wire channel 51 of the bracket 5. Once the bracket 5 is assembled, the upper portion of the bracket 5 seals against the lower portion of the connecting structure 31, allowing the wiring to pass through the sealed cavity between the bracket 5 and the connecting structure 31, facilitating the overall wiring layout.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
