Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an electronic mechanical brake technology, and in particular to a flat power transmission mechanism with a non-rotating output shaft and an electric brake device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of automobile technology, especially the development of new energy vehicles and autonomous driving, the continuous increase in traffic density and the gradual increase in vehicle speed, people have higher and higher requirements for the safety and reliability of automobiles. Whether the automobile braking system can realize the driver's braking intention in real time, quickly and effectively has become a key issue affecting road traffic safety.

[0003] The traditional hydraulic brake system is mainly composed of a brake pedal, a brake master cylinder, a vacuum booster, a brake wheel cylinder, and a brake. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the hydraulic oil is pressed from the brake master cylinder to the brake wheel cylinder through the hydraulic pipeline under the assistance of the vacuum booster, and acts on the brake caliper or brake shoe, and presses against the brake disc or brake drum to achieve vehicle braking. However, the hydraulic brake system has many defects, such as complex system, and the braking force needs to pass through the vacuum booster, hydraulic pipeline, etc., resulting in slow response speed, large size, difficulty in layout and assembly on the whole vehicle, complex ABS electronic control system, and high manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0004] The electronic mechanical brake system (EMB) not only overcomes the inherent defects of the hydraulic brake system, but also has outstanding advantages such as simple system, fast braking response speed, high efficiency, etc. With the development of brushless DC motor electronic control technology and automotive electronic control technology, the EMB electronic mechanical brake system, as a new generation of automotive brakes, has the trend of replacing the current traditional hydraulic and pneumatic brake systems.

[0005] At present, the EMB electronic mechanical brake outputs braking power through the driving mechanism, drives the motion conversion mechanism to rotate, and the motion conversion mechanism drives the braking force output element to perform non-rotational axial translational motion to achieve vehicle driving braking. In order to achieve translational motion of the braking force output element, it is necessary to respectively set matching axial concave / convex grooves and guide components on the motion conversion mechanism and the braking force output element, which makes the structure more complicated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0067] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0068] Embodiment 1

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, an electric brake device with a sealing function includes a housing and a drive motor 30, a braking force transmission mechanism, a control unit and a clutch lock mechanism arranged in the housing.

[0070] The shell includes a front cover 1, an intermediate shell 2 and a rear cover 3 connected in sequence. The intermediate shell 2 has a connecting plate 28, which divides the inner cavity of the shell into a front cavity and a rear cavity. The front cover 1 is provided with fixing screws 13 to facilitate the fixed connection between the electric brake device of this embodiment as a whole and the wheel end of the external vehicle.

[0071] The drive motor 30 is arranged in the front cavity. The drive motor 30 consists of a motor stator 4 and a motor rotor 5. The motor stator 4 is fixed on the front end cover 1. In this embodiment, the motor rotor 5 is designed as a hollow structure, and the braking force transmission mechanism is built into the hollow part of the motor rotor 5, which makes full use of the limited space and reduces the volume of the electric braking device.

[0072] The braking force transmission mechanism includes a hollow input shaft 8, a planet carrier, an output shaft 7 and a plurality of planet roller assemblies; the hollow input shaft 8 is coaxially arranged in the motor rotor 5, the outer wall of the hollow input shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the motor rotor 5, and both ends of the outer circle side of the hollow input shaft 8 can be directly or indirectly fixed to the front end cover 1 through the first thrust bearing 6; the hollow input shaft 8 can be driven to rotate by the motor rotor 5; the hollow input shaft 8 is a cylindrical structure with an open front end, and the front end dynamic seal is arranged on the front end cover 1; the inner side of the hollow input shaft 8 is provided with an internal thread 81;

[0073] The planetary carrier is coaxially arranged at the rear side of the hollow input shaft 8 by a clearance fit; multiple planetary roller assemblies are arranged circumferentially on the planetary carrier, and preferably multiple planetary roller assemblies are evenly distributed along the same circumference; each planetary roller assembly includes a planetary shaft 10 arranged on the planetary carrier and a planetary roller 9 arranged on the planetary shaft 10, and multiple planetary rollers 9 are respectively installed on the planetary carrier through multiple planetary shafts 10, and the outer circumferential surface of each planetary roller 9 is provided with an external thread 91 meshing with the internal thread 81 of the hollow input shaft 8; in this embodiment, the planetary shaft 10 is arranged on the planetary carrier, and at least one bearing 26 is arranged between the planetary roller 9 and the planetary shaft 10, and the bearing 26 is a radial bearing, and both ends of the planetary shaft 10 extend out of the planetary carrier and are fixed to the planetary carrier by a shaft retaining ring 15, so that the planetary roller 9 can only rotate around the planetary shaft 10. In other embodiments, a bearing can also be arranged between the planetary shaft 10 and the planetary carrier, and the planetary roller 9 is fixedly connected to the planetary shaft 10 to realize the rotation of the planetary roller 9 and the planetary shaft 10 on the planetary carrier.

[0074] The axis of the output shaft 7 is not coaxial with the axis of the hollow input shaft 8, that is, the output shaft 7 is eccentrically arranged at the front end of the planet carrier. Figure 3 As shown, the eccentric distance d between the output shaft 7 and the planetary carrier in this embodiment can be designed to be 1mm~3mm, and the front end of the output shaft 7 can extend axially and non-rotatingly out of the front end cover 1. Since the output shaft 7 and the planetary carrier are eccentrically arranged, in order to prevent the resistance acting on the output shaft 7 from reacting inconsistently to the evenly distributed planetary roller assembly, resulting in eccentric wear of the planetary rollers 9, the force output member 27 at the front end of the output shaft in this embodiment is eccentrically arranged with the output shaft, and the axis of the force output member 27 is coaxial with the axis of the hollow input shaft 8, so that the direction of the resistance action can be coaxial with the input shaft 8, thereby avoiding eccentric wear of the planetary rollers 9. A dynamic sealing structure is arranged between the front end cover 1 and the output shaft 7, and the dynamic sealing structure includes a sleeve 12 and a sealing ring. A through hole is arranged on the front end cover 1 for the output shaft 7 to extend out, and the sleeve 12 is arranged in the through hole of the front end cover 1. The sealing ring is arranged between the sleeve 12 and the output shaft 7 and between the sleeve 12 and the front end cover 1, and is mainly used for sealing the front end cover 1 and guiding the output shaft 7. In order to improve the guiding effect, the sleeve 12 can be a metal or non-metal sleeve.

[0075] This embodiment provides two structural forms of the planet carrier. The first one is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the planet carrier is a hollow structure, which includes a front planet carrier body 72, a rear planet carrier body 71 and a squirrel cage sleeve 73 arranged between the front planet carrier body 72 and the rear planet carrier body 71. There are four planet roller assemblies, and the four planet rollers 9 are located in the squirrel cage sleeve 73, and the planet rollers 9 can engage with the internal threads 81 on the inner side of the hollow input shaft 8; in order to improve the rigidity and stability of the planet carrier connection, a connecting rod is provided between the middle part of the front planet carrier body 72 and the middle part of the rear planet carrier body 71, and the front planet carrier body 72, the rear planet carrier body 71, the connecting rod, the squirrel cage sleeve 73 and the output shaft 7 are a whole, but the central axis of the front planet carrier body 72 and the rear planet carrier body 71 is set to be coaxial with the central axis of the output shaft 7. Such a setting can make the planet rollers 9 only rotate but not revolve. The rotation of the hollow input shaft 8 and the helix angle on its inner wall will only drive the planet carrier and the output shaft 7 to translate forward and backward along the axial direction of the output shaft 7, while the planet carrier and the output shaft 7 cannot rotate. The second type, such as Figure 6 As shown, the planet carrier is an I-shaped structure, which includes a front planet carrier body 72, a rear planet carrier body 71, and a connecting rod arranged between the middle of the front planet carrier body 72 and the middle of the rear planet carrier body 71. There are 6 planetary roller assemblies, and the 6 planetary rollers 9 are evenly distributed on the periphery of the connecting rod.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, the planetary shaft 10 of this embodiment is equipped with an automatic centering mechanism, which includes a spherical centering unit and a second thrust bearing 21 which are arranged in sequence from front to back between the front planetary carrier body 72 and the front end surface of the planetary roller 9. The spherical centering unit includes a tiltable spherical seat 23 and a tiltable spherical protrusion 22 which cooperate to form a spherical pair. The spherical protrusion 22 is arranged adjacent to the second thrust bearing 21. The spherical centering unit is used to adjust the planetary roller 9 and the planetary shaft 10 to always be on the same axis, thereby reducing the force loss during the transmission process.

[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, the control unit includes an induction magnet 11 and a circuit board 14. The rear end of the hollow input shaft 8 is provided with a magnet fixing shaft 82 supported on the connecting plate 28, and the induction magnet 11 is arranged on the magnet fixing shaft 82; the circuit board 14 is arranged on the intermediate shell 2 and is located in the rear cavity. A magnetic sensing element is provided on the circuit board 14 at a position relative to the induction magnet 11. The magnetic sensing element can identify the strength of the radial N / S level magnetic field of the induction magnet 11 during movement. The circuit board 14 is used to analyze and calculate the stroke of the translational movement of the output shaft 7 and perform real-time control.

[0078] like Figure 4As shown, the clutch lock locking mechanism is arranged on the outer side of the rear end of the hollow input shaft 8, and the clutch lock locking mechanism is mainly composed of an electromagnetic brake 16, a locking fixed ring 17, a locking outer ring 18, a friction plate 19 and a dynamic pressure plate 20. The electromagnetic brake 16 is fixed on the intermediate housing 2, one end of the dynamic pressure plate 20 is in contact with or close to the electromagnetic brake 16, and the other end is close to or in contact with the friction plate 19. A plurality of springs are arranged in the electromagnetic brake 16, one end of which is in contact with the electromagnetic brake 16 itself, and the other end is in contact with the dynamic pressure plate 20; the other end of the friction plate 19 is in contact with or close to the inner wall of the locking outer ring 18, the outer ring and the inner ring of the locking fixed ring 17 are both provided with splines, the inner ring splines are meshed with the splines arranged on the outer wall of the hollow input shaft 8, and the outer ring splines are meshed with the splines arranged on the inner ring of the friction plate 19. The clutch lock locking mechanism can realize the separation and locking of the hollow input shaft 8 respectively by energizing or de-energizing the electromagnetic brake 16.

[0079] The braking action process of the electric brake device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0080] During driving, when the driver steps on the brake pedal, the drive motor 30 starts, and the motor rotor 5 drives the hollow input shaft 8 to rotate. The rotation of the hollow input shaft 8 drives multiple planetary rollers 9 to rotate. Since the central axis of the planetary carrier and the central axis of the output shaft 7 are set to be coaxial, the planetary rollers 9 can only rotate around the planetary shaft 10. Furthermore, the planetary rollers 9 push the planetary carrier and the output shaft 7 to translate forward along the axial direction of the output shaft 7. The force output member 27 at the front end of the output shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the vehicle brake pad, thereby realizing vehicle driving braking.

[0081] Embodiment 2

[0082] The difference from the first embodiment is that: Figure 7 As shown, each planetary roller 9 is provided with an outer annular convex groove matched with the internal thread 81 of the hollow input shaft 8, and each planetary shaft 10 is also provided with a first adjusting gasket 24 and a second adjusting gasket 25, the first adjusting gasket 24 is located between the front planetary carrier body 72 and the spherical seat 23, and the second adjusting gasket 25 is located between the rear end face of the planetary roller 9 and the rear planetary carrier body 71, and by adjusting the thickness of the first adjusting gasket 24 and the second adjusting gasket 25, multiple planetary rollers 9 are sequentially staggered along the axial direction of the hollow input shaft 8, and preferably multiple planetary roller assemblies are evenly distributed around the circumference, then the adjacent planetary rollers 9 differ in the axial direction of the hollow input shaft 8 by 1 / N of the pitch of the internal thread of the hollow input shaft, N being the number of planetary roller assemblies, so as to realize the threaded engagement of multiple planetary rollers 9 with the helix angle of the inner wall of the hollow input shaft 8 in the axial direction, and the outer annular convex groove of the planetary roller 9 can be a straight line or arc tooth profile matching the tooth profile of the hollow input shaft 8. In other embodiments, the first adjusting gasket 24 and the second adjusting gasket 25 may be implemented by bosses provided on the planet carrier.

[0083] Embodiment 3

[0084] The difference from the second embodiment is that an inner annular convex groove is provided on the inner side surface of the hollow input shaft 8, and each planetary roller 9 is provided with an external thread 91 that cooperates with the inner annular convex groove of the hollow input shaft 8.
