Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electric drive of electric vehicles, and in particular relates to an electric wheel and a vehicle with the electric wheel. Background Art

[0002] The motor-driven wheel technology is the abbreviation of the motor-driven wheel technology. The motor used in the electric wheel is also called the hub motor. Its biggest feature is that the hub bearing device, power device, transmission device and brake device are all integrated into the hub, which greatly simplifies the transmission mechanical part between the motor and the hub of the electric vehicle. Compared with other drive forms, it has many advantages such as short transmission chain, high transmission efficiency and flexible layout. Electric vehicles using the electric wheel technology have obvious advantages in vehicle overall layout, energy saving, lightweight and generalization.

[0003] Electric vehicles, especially large-tonnage electric drive vehicles, have obvious advantages in adopting wheel hub motor solutions. The multi-stage planetary reduction technology solution adopted in the prior art has a large axial dimension of the reducer and is difficult to arrange the wheel hub brake. The brake is arranged from the motor shaft end, which requires a high brake speed, resulting in a reduced life; the single-stage planetary reduction technology solution has a smaller reduction ratio than the double-stage planetary reducer, and the motor output torque requirement is relatively large, and the volume is also relatively large; in addition, the prior art solutions rarely effectively integrate the inflation and deflation device, which is one of the actuators that must be configured for the vehicle to automatically inflate and deflate the tire. The prior art solutions rarely integrate the ABS ring gear and ABS sensor, which is also one of the data acquisition components that must be configured for the vehicle to achieve active safety. Patent CN103328247A proposes a wheel hub motor drive device, but does not specify the reduction mechanism used and the axial size and volume of the device are relatively large. Patent CN 108128143 A proposes an electric wheel and vehicle, which adopts a single-stage planetary reducer with a relatively small speed ratio and a relatively large motor size. It does not integrate a charging and discharging device, an ABS ring gear and an ABS sensor, and the integration level of the wheel hub bearing is not high. The double-stage reduction scheme of patents CN109823163A and CN108340768A occupies a larger axial space than the single-stage reduction scheme, and does not integrate a charging and discharging device, an ABS ring gear and an ABS sensor.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the inner and outer directions refer to the side close to the center of the vehicle along the wheel axis as the inner side and the side away from the center of the vehicle as the outer side relative to the vehicle as a whole.

[0021] The steering knuckle 2 is connected to the motor inner end cover 3 by bolts, the motor inner end cover 3 and the motor outer end cover 7 are connected to the motor stator housing 6 by bolts, the motor stator 4 is connected to the motor stator housing 6 by interference fit, the motor rotor 5 is supported by the motor rotor bracket 28, the motor rotor bracket 28 is connected to the motor rotor support spline shaft 35 by bolts, the motor rotor support spline shaft 35 is supported on the motor inner end cover 3 and the motor outer end cover 7 on both sides, the outer side of the outer motor rotor support bearing 36 is sealed by the motor outer oil seal 30 to prevent the lubricating oil in the reducer from flowing into the motor, and the inner side of the inner motor rotor support bearing 36 is sealed by the motor outer oil seal 30.

[0023] The second-stage gear ring 14 is larger than the first-stage gear ring. This part is connected to the outer end cover of the motor and also serves to fix the hub bearing assembly. The first-stage planetary reducer and the second-stage planetary reducer of the two-stage planetary reducer have a large speed ratio, which realizes the torque increase of the motor power through large speed ratio deceleration. The first-stage reducer and the hub bearing are in the same axial space, which realizes the reuse of axial space, making the actual axial space occupied by the two-stage reducer the same as that of the single-stage reducer, reducing the volume and weight of the electric wheel. The integral gear ring 14 further saves space. This part also has a load-bearing function. Due to the increase in radial size, the load-bearing capacity is greatly improved.

[0027] The outer circle of the hub oil seal 13 is fixed to the inner hole of the secondary planetary gear bracket 16 by interference fit, and the lip of the hub oil seal 13 is in contact with the outer circle surface of the gear ring 14 and can rotate relatively.

[0028] The parking brake is a drum brake including a brake drum 41, a brake shoe 40, a return spring 29 and a hydraulic cylinder 39. The parking brake is located in a space surrounded by the motor rotor 5, the motor rotor bracket 28, the rotor support spline shaft and the motor inner end cover 3. The brake shoe 40 is composed of two brake shoes, one side of which is supported on a fulcrum fixed on the motor inner end cover 3 and can rotate around the fulcrum, and the other side of the brake shoe 40 is tightened by the return spring 29. One end of the hydraulic cylinder 39 is fixed on the motor inner end cover 3, and the other end is fixed on the side of the brake shoe 40 tightened by the return spring 29. The brake drum 41 is connected to the motor rotor bracket 28 by bolts.

[0029] The inflation and deflation device includes an oil and gas seal 19, an inflation tube 33, an air tube 18 and a wheel valve 12. The rotor support spline shaft and the spline shaft are hollow spline shafts, and the inflation tube 33 passes through the hollow spline shaft, one end of which is fixed on the inner end cover 3 of the motor, and the other end is connected to the wheel valve 12 through the air tube 18. The lip of the oil seal 34 cooperates with the inflation tube 33 to seal the lubricating oil in the reducer from leaking. The outer circle of the oil and gas seal 19 is fixed on the secondary planetary gear bracket 16 by interference fit, and the lip of the oil and gas seal 19 cooperates with the outer circle of the inflation tube 33, and its outer lip is used to seal the rotating transformer stator 38 fixed on the inner end cover of the motor, and the rotating transformer rotor 37 is connected to the motor rotor support spline shaft 35 by a key. The inner lip of the oil-gas seal 19 is used to seal the lubricating oil in the reducer to prevent leakage. One end of the air pipe 18 is fixed on the secondary planetary gear bracket 16, and the other end is fixed on the wheel valve 12. The air outlet of the wheel valve 12 is connected to the valve mouth of the tire.

[0030] The rotary transformer includes a rotary transformer rotor 37 and a rotary transformer stator 38. A second concave cavity extending into the inner hole space of the motor rotor 5 is provided in the middle of the motor inner end cover 3, and the rotary transformer is arranged in the second concave cavity. The rotary transformer stator 38 is fixed on the motor inner end cover 3, and the rotary transformer rotor 37 is connected to the motor rotor support spline shaft 35 through a key.

[0032] The wheel hub is provided with a brake disc connection flange, a rim connection flange and an ABS gear ring, which are integrated with the wheel hub bearing 15 into an independent and complete component. The inner ring of the wheel hub bearing 15 presses the gear ring 14, and the wheel hub is rotatably supported on the gear ring 14. The secondary planetary gear bracket 16 is fixedly connected to the rim connection flange. The use of this integrated independent and complete component solves the problem of small space for the service brake caused by radial superposition of the half-axle sleeve, the wheel hub bearing and the wheel hub in the same axial dimension space, increases the radial contact area of ​​the brake disc, and improves the service brake life.

[0033] More optimally, the steering knuckle 2 and the motor inner end cover 3 can be integrated into one part.

[0034] More optimally, the motor rotor support bearing 36 is a self-lubricating and self-sealing bearing, which contains grease and has a self-sealing structure. The implementation scheme can remove the oil seal 31 inside the motor.

[0035] The invention solves the problem of interface matching and torque speed characteristic matching between the high-speed hub motor, the low-speed wheel rim and the hub brake.

[0036] The electric wheel drive power transmission path is as follows:

[0037] The primary input spline shaft 32 is connected to the internal spline of the motor rotor support spline shaft 35 through the external spline, and the torque of the motor rotor is transmitted to the primary sun gear 22 through the spline. The power of the primary sun gear 22 is decelerated by the primary planetary reducer (composed of the primary sun gear 22, the primary planetary gear 24, the ring gear 14 and the primary planetary gear bracket 21), and then the primary planetary gear bracket 21 transmits the power to the external spline of the secondary sun gear 20 through the internal spline. The power of the secondary sun gear 20 is decelerated by the secondary planetary reducer (composed of the secondary sun gear 20, the secondary planetary gear 17, the ring gear 14 and the secondary planetary gear bracket 16), and finally the secondary planetary gear bracket 16 transmits the power to the rim 26, and the rim is connected to the tire to drive the vehicle.

[0038] The electric wheel braking force transmission path is as follows:

[0039] For electric vehicles, the service braking force is provided by the service brake as mechanical braking force and by the motor as electric braking force. The brake caliper 8 is controlled by the brake system to press the brake disc 9, and the braking force is transmitted to the rim 26 through the brake disc mounting flange 25; the electric braking force is transmitted to the motor rotor support spline shaft 35 through the motor rotor bracket 28, and the motor rotor support spline shaft 35 is transmitted to the input spline shaft 32. The input spline shaft 32 amplifies the braking force through the two-stage planetary reducer and then transmits it to the secondary planetary gear bracket 16 and the rim 26.

[0040] The parking brake force is achieved by releasing the pressure of the hydraulic cylinder 39, causing the return spring 29 to rebound and press the brake shoe 40 against the brake drum 41, and the braking force is transmitted to the motor rotor bracket 28, the motor rotor bracket 28 transmits it to the motor rotor support spline shaft 35, the motor rotor support spline shaft 35 transmits it to the input spline shaft 32, and the input spline shaft 32 amplifies the braking force through the two-stage planetary reducer and transmits it to the secondary planetary gear bracket 16 and the rim 26.

[0041] The load-bearing capacity transmission path of the electric wheel is as follows:

[0042] The force applied to the suspension by the whole vehicle is transmitted to the steering knuckle 2 through the upper steering pin 1 and the lower steering pin 27 connected to the suspension swing arm. The steering knuckle 2 is fixed together with the inner end cover 3 of the motor, the stator housing 6 of the motor, the outer end cover 7 of the motor and the ring gear 14. The force is finally transmitted to the hub bearing 15 through the ring gear. The hub bearing 15 is fixedly connected with the rim 26 and finally transmitted to the tire mounted on the rim 26, thereby realizing the transmission of the bearing capacity of the electric wheel.
