[0060] The wheel hub motor technology is a technology of installing a wheel hub motor in a wheel and directly driving the wheel of an electric vehicle by the wheel hub motor, which improves the power conversion efficiency between the motor and the wheel and greatly simplifies the mechanical part of the electric vehicle and saves the space in the vehicle cabin. During the driving of the electric vehicle, the wheel will vibrate, and the vibration of the wheel will be transmitted to the wheel hub motor, thereby affecting the working performance and service life of the wheel hub motor. In order to suppress the wheel vibration, in the prior art, a spring damper or the like is usually installed to suppress the wheel hub motor vibration. However, the spring damper or the like can only play a passive damping role, and the damping effect is limited.

[0061] Therefore, the electric wheel provided by the embodiments of the present application can suppress the wheel hub motor vibration based on the actively generated damping force, and the damping effect on the wheel hub motor is enhanced compared with the prior art.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 which shows a structural schematic diagram of an electric wheel 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, the electric wheel 10 can include an electric wheel body 101, a wheel hub motor 102, a servo motor 103 and a force transmission device 104.

[0063] The force transmission device 104 is connected with the servo motor 103 and the wheel hub motor 102 respectively, the wheel hub motor 102 is connected with the electric wheel body 101, and is used for driving the electric wheel body 101 to move; the force transmission device 104 is used for transmitting the damping force output by the servo motor 103 to the wheel hub motor 102. Optionally, the servo motor 103 is used as a kind of engine to control the operation of mechanical elements, and can control the force transmission device 102 to transmit the damping force output by the servo motor 103 to the wheel hub motor 102.

[0064] When the electric wheel is actually running on the road, the uneven road surface will cause the vibration of the electric wheel 10 in the vertical direction, wherein the vertical direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the electric wheel 10, of course, the wheel hub motor 102 inside the electric wheel 10 will also vibrate due to the vibration of the electric wheel 10. In order to suppress the vibration of the wheel hub motor 102, the electric wheel 10 of the embodiment of the application is provided with a servo motor 103 and a force transmission device 104. The servo motor 103 can transmit the damping force generated by itself to the wheel hub motor 102 based on the force transmission device 102. Optionally, the damping force can be a force opposite to the vibration direction of the wheel hub motor 102. Thus, the damping force can weaken the force in the vibration direction, or even offset the force in the vibration direction, thereby achieving the effect of active damping and suppressing the vibration of the electric wheel 10 in the vertical direction. For example, the wheel hub motor 102 vibrates upward under the driving of the electric wheel 10, and the force transmission device 102 transmits the downward damping force output by the servo motor 103 to the wheel hub motor 102. Thus, the upward vibration force and the downward damping force interact with each other, thereby suppressing the vibration of the electric wheel 10 in the vertical direction.

[0065] It should be noted that the damping force in the embodiment of the application can be a force, or a combination of multiple forces with damping effect. The embodiment of the application does not limit this, as long as the damping effect can be achieved.

[0066] The embodiment of the application provides an electric wheel 10, which comprises an electric wheel body 101, a wheel hub motor 102, a servo motor 103 and a force transmission device 104. The force transmission device 104 is connected with the servo motor 103 and the wheel hub motor 102 respectively, the wheel hub motor 102 is connected with the electric wheel body 101, and is used for driving the electric wheel body 101 to move; the force transmission device 104 is used for transmitting the damping force output by the servo motor 103 to the wheel hub motor 102. Compared with the passive damping of the prior art, the embodiment of the application transmits the damping force to the wheel hub motor 102 through the force transmission device 104, and suppresses the vibration of the wheel hub motor 102 through the damping force, thereby achieving the effect of active damping and enhancing the damping effect on the wheel hub motor 102.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4Fig. 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of an electric wheel 10 provided by an embodiment of the present application, the electric wheel 10 having a function of active vibration reduction. As shown in Fig. 1, the electric wheel 10 of the active vibration reduction function comprises a force transmission device 104, the force transmission device 104 comprising a speed reducer 105, a ball screw 106, a push block 107, a first clutch 108, and a sliding block 109, the sliding block 109 comprising a stator through hole 130, and the electric wheel 10 further comprises a sliding rail 110 cooperating with the sliding block 109. Figures 2 to 4

[0068] Part of a structure of the stator 111 of the wheel hub motor 102 is located in the stator through hole 130, the speed reducer 105 is connected with the servo motor 103, the speed reducer 105 is used to drive the sliding block 109 to slide under the driving of the servo motor 103, the sliding rail 110 is fixedly connected with the inner wheel frame 129 comprised by the electric wheel body 101, and the sliding block 109 is used to slide along the sliding rail 110 under the driving of the speed reducer 105, one end of the ball screw 106 is connected with the speed reducer 105, the other end of the ball screw 106 is threadedly connected with the push block 107, and the push block 107 is connected with the sliding block 109. One end of the ball screw 106 is connected with the speed reducer 105 through the first clutch 108.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the servo motor 103 outputs a torque, the speed reducer 105 drives the ball screw 106 to rotate under the driving of the torque of the servo motor 103, the rotation of the ball screw 106 drives the push block 107 to move in the vertical direction, the push block 107 drives the sliding block 109 to slide up and down on the sliding rail 110, and because part of the structure of the stator 111 is located in the stator through hole 130, the sliding block 109 will give the stator 111 a thrust in the vertical direction when the sliding block 109 slides on the sliding rail 110, the thrust can suppress the vibration of the wheel hub motor 102 in the vertical direction, and the active vibration reduction effect is achieved. Alternatively, the damping force in the embodiment of the present application can be a combination of the torque output by the servo motor 103, the force of the push block 107 driven by the ball screw 106 to move in the vertical direction, the force of the sliding block 109 driven by the push block 107 to slide up and down on the sliding rail 110, and the thrust of the sliding block 109 in the vertical direction to the stator 111, and under the joint action of these combined forces, the vibration of the wheel hub motor 102 in the vertical direction is suppressed, and the active vibration reduction effect is achieved.

[0070] Alternatively, the speed reducer 105 can increase the torque output by the servo motor 103, improve the force of the push block 107 driving the sliding block 109 to slide up and down on the sliding rail 110, and further increase the thrust of the sliding block 109 in the vertical direction to the stator 111, so as to suppress the movement of the stator 111 in the vertical direction by the increased thrust, and achieve the active vibration reduction effect.

[0071] ​It should be noted that one end of the ball screw 106 is connected with the speed reducer 105 through the first clutch 108, and the first clutch 108 can cut off the torque transmitted by the servo motor 103 to the ball screw 106. In the case where it is necessary to reduce the thrust of the slider 109 to the given stator 111, the torque transmitted by the servo motor 103 to the ball screw 106 can be cut off by controlling the first clutch 108, thereby reducing the thrust of the slider 109 to the given stator 111.

[0072] Optionally, the ball screw 106 and the push block 107 included in the force transmission device 104 can be replaced by a gear and rack type, or other structures, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. As long as the structure replacing the ball screw and the push block can drive the slider to slide up and down on the slide rail 110.

[0073] In the optional embodiments of the present application, in addition to the function of active damping, the electric wheel 10 can also have the function of passive damping. Optionally, the passive damping function of the electric wheel 10 is correspondingly provided with a passive damping device. Optionally, the passive damping device can be arranged between the slider 109 and the inner wheel frame 129 included in the electric wheel body 101. The passive damping device can include a spring 112 and a damping member 113, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 The two springs 112 and the two damping members 113 are arranged between the slider 109 and the inner wheel frame 129. One spring 112 and one damping member 113 are arranged at one end of the slider 109, and the other spring 112 and the other damping member 113 are arranged at the other end of the slider 109. Since part of the structure of the stator 111 is located in the stator through hole 130 of the slider 109, the wheel hub motor 102 is suspended in the electric wheel based on the spring 112 and the damping member 113. The spring 112 and the damping member 113, as devices with buffering effect, have the effect of passive damping, can attenuate the vibration of the wheel hub motor 102 in the vertical direction, improve the stress condition of the wheel hub motor 102, and suppress the vibration of the wheel hub motor 102, so as to avoid the wheel hub motor 102 from being damaged to a certain extent and prolong the service life of the wheel hub motor 102. In addition, by suspending the wheel hub motor 102 in the electric wheel through the spring 112 and the damping member 113, the unsprung mass of the vehicle provided with the electric wheel can be reduced, and the riding comfort of the vehicle can be improved.
