Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive technology, and more specifically, to a transfer case and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Sweeper trucks typically have specialized operating structures such as fans, high-pressure water pumps, and hydraulic systems. To enable multiple functions to operate simultaneously, a transfer case is often introduced to distribute power among the various mechanisms. Traditional transfer cases are mostly of a one-axis input, multi-axis output structure, meaning that after power is input to the transfer case, it is then transmitted to different mechanisms.

[0003] However, some parts of the sweeper need to work continuously, while others work intermittently. If the transfer case is used to output power to these parts at the same time, this purpose cannot be achieved. A clutch device needs to be installed at the location of the intermittently working parts to control the transmission of power, which makes the use of the transfer case inconvenient.

[0031] A second aspect of this application provides a vehicle including a transfer case as provided in the first aspect of this application.

[0032] Beneficial effects:

[0033] This application provides a transfer case and vehicle. By setting an intermediate shaft, an output component, a planetary gear carrier, a sun gear shaft, and an internal gear ring are mounted on the intermediate shaft. A clutch assembly is used to control the internal gear ring to be in a fixed or rotatable state. When using this transfer case, the output component is connected to a component requiring intermittent operation. Power is transmitted to the intermediate shaft through the input end, and the intermediate shaft can transmit power to a component requiring continuous operation through its output end. The clutch assembly controls the state of the internal gear ring. When the internal gear ring is in a fixed state, the intermediate shaft transmits power to the planetary gear carrier, which then transmits power to the sun gear shaft through the planetary gears. This causes the sun gear shaft to output power to the output component, and the component connected to the output component begins to operate. When the internal gear ring is in a rotatable state, the planetary gear carrier cannot transmit power to the sun gear shaft, and power is not output to the output component, causing the component connected to the output component to stop operating. In this way, power on the intermediate shaft can be transmitted to two components, and the clutch assembly can control the operation of one of the components without the need for a separate clutch device, making the use of the transfer case more convenient.

[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this is a transfer case disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, including an intermediate shaft 1, an output component, a planetary gear carrier 3, a sun gear shaft 4, an internal gear ring 5, a clutch assembly 6, a housing 7, and a bracket 8.

[0044] The intermediate shaft 1 has one end as the input end and the other end as the output end. Power is input through the input end of the intermediate shaft 1 and then output through the output end. The components that need to work continuously are connected to the output end of the intermediate shaft 1, so that the intermediate shaft 1 can continuously transmit power to the components.

[0045] The output component, planetary gear carrier 3, and sun gear shaft 4 are all mounted on the intermediate shaft 1.

[0046] Specifically, the output component is rotatably connected to the intermediate shaft 1. The output component is mainly connected to the components that need to work intermittently, and power can be transmitted to these components using the output component.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the planetary gear carrier 3 is fixedly connected to the intermediate shaft 1, so that the power of the intermediate shaft 1 can be continuously transmitted to the planetary gear carrier 3. Multiple planetary gears 31 are rotatably connected on the planetary gear carrier 3, and the multiple planetary gears 31 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the planetary gear carrier 3.

[0048] The sun gear shaft 4 is mounted on the intermediate shaft 1. One end of the sun gear shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the output component, and the other end is provided with a sun gear (not shown in the figure). The sun gear is engaged with each planet gear 31 on the planet carrier 3.

[0049] The internal gear ring 5 is sleeved on the outside of the planetary gear carrier 3. A rack 51 is provided on the inner wall of the internal gear ring 5 along the axial direction of the internal gear ring 5. Each planet gear 31 of the planetary gear carrier 3 is simultaneously engaged with the rack 51 of the internal gear ring 5.

[0050] It also includes a clutch assembly 6, which is connected to the internal gear ring 5, and the clutch assembly 6 has an engaged state and an unengaged state.

[0051] Specifically, when the clutch assembly 6 is engaged, the internal gear ring 5 is fixed. At this time, the input power causes the intermediate shaft 1 to rotate, which in turn drives the planetary gear carrier 3 to rotate. The planetary gear carrier 3 then drives the planetary gears 31 to begin circumferential rotation. However, since the internal gear ring 5 is fixed, and the planetary gears 31 are simultaneously meshed with both the internal gear ring 5 and the sun gear, the planetary gear carrier 3 drives the sun gear to rotate through the planetary gears 31. This, in turn, causes the sun gear shaft 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the output component to rotate, thereby outputting power to the component connected to the output component.

[0052] When the clutch assembly 6 is in the disengaged state, the internal gear ring 5 is in a rotatable state. At this time, after the intermediate shaft 1 drives the planetary gear carrier 3 to rotate, the planetary gear carrier 3 drives the planetary gear 31 to start rotating. However, since the internal gear ring 5 is in a rotatable state, the planetary gear 31 will cause the internal gear ring 5 to start rotating, but will not cause the sun gear to rotate. Therefore, the power on the planetary gear carrier 3 cannot be transmitted to the sun gear shaft 4, and the output component cannot output power to the component connected to the output component, causing the component connected to the output component to stop working.

[0053] In this way, when the clutch assembly 6 is engaged, the intermediate shaft 1 can transmit power to both the component connected to the output end of the intermediate shaft 1 and the component connected to the output component. When the clutch assembly 6 is disengaged, the intermediate shaft 1 can only transmit power to the component connected to the output end of the intermediate shaft 1. This achieves the simultaneous transmission of power to both the component that needs to work continuously and the component that needs to work intermittently, eliminating the need for a clutch device and making the transfer case more convenient to use.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the transfer case also includes a housing 7 and a bracket 8.

[0055] Specifically, the housing 7 encloses the planetary gear carrier 3, the internal gear ring 5, and the clutch assembly 6. The housing 7 includes a first end cap 71, a housing 73, and a second end cap 72. The planetary gear carrier 3, the internal gear ring 5, and the clutch assembly 6 are mainly located within the housing 73. The first end cap 71 and the second end cap 72 are used to seal both sides of the housing 73 with fixing bolts, thus forming a closed housing 7. The housing 7 is mounted on a support 8, and the housing 7 and the support 8 are integrally formed.

[0056] The housing 7 provides better protection for the transfer case components, increasing the transfer case's lifespan.

[0057] In one embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clutch assembly 6 includes a connecting part 61, a dynamic friction plate 62, a static friction plate 63, a limiting part 64, and a driving part 65.

[0058] Specifically, the connecting part 61 is rotatably connected to the planetary gear carrier 3 via a bearing. The connecting part 61 is disc-shaped, and the internal gear ring 5 is provided with an extension part 52, which is fixedly connected to the connecting part 61. At this time, the internal gear ring 5 is in a rotatable state and can rotate through the connecting part 61.

[0059] The moving friction plate 62 is located on the side of the connecting part 61 away from the inner gear ring 5. The connecting part 61 is provided with connecting teeth, and the moving friction plate 62 is provided with meshing teeth. The meshing teeth and the connecting teeth mesh with each other. When the inner gear ring 5 and the connecting part 61 rotate, the connecting part 61 will drive the moving friction plate 62 to rotate together.

[0060] The limiting part 64 and the static friction plate 63 are disposed on the side of the dynamic friction plate 62 away from the connecting part 61. The limiting part 64 is fixedly connected to the housing 73, and the limiting part 64 can restrict the static friction plate 63 from rotating.

[0061] The drive unit 65 is fixedly mounted on the intermediate shaft 1, and the stationary friction plate 63 is fixedly connected to the drive unit 65. The stationary friction plate 63 and the moving friction plate 62 are arranged opposite to each other. The drive unit 65 is used to drive the stationary friction plate 63 to press against or disengage from the moving friction plate 62.

[0062] Furthermore, the drive unit 65 drives the stationary friction plate 63 to approach and press against the moving friction plate 62. At this time, the friction between the stationary friction plate 63 and the moving friction plate 62 will keep the stationary friction plate 63 and the moving friction plate 62 fixed. Since the limiting part 64 restricts the rotation of the stationary friction plate 63, the moving friction plate 62 cannot rotate either, thereby restricting the rotation of the connecting part 61 and the internal gear ring 5, so that the internal gear ring 5 is in a fixed state, and the planetary gear carrier 3 can drive the sun gear shaft 4 to rotate through the planetary gears 31.

[0063] The drive unit 65 drives the stationary friction plate 63 to disengage from the moving friction plate 62. At this time, the stationary friction plate 63 and the moving friction plate 62 are no longer in contact, and the moving friction plate 62 can rotate again. As a result, the internal gear ring 5 can rotate through the connecting part 61, so that the planetary gear carrier 3 will drive the internal gear ring 5 to rotate through the planetary gear 31, but will not drive the sun gear shaft 4 to rotate.

[0064] This allows for adjustment of the state of the internal gear ring 5, making the transfer case more convenient to use.

[0065] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, two sets of both static friction plates 63 and dynamic friction plates 62 are provided, and the two sets of static friction plates 63 and the two sets of dynamic friction plates 62 are alternately arranged. This increases the contact area between the static friction plates 63 and the dynamic friction plates 62, thereby increasing the frictional force between them. In other embodiments, the static friction plates 63 and the dynamic friction plates 62 can be provided in three or four sets, or even more.

[0066] In one embodiment, the limiting portion 64 includes a limiting ring 641.

[0067] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting ring 641 is sleeved on the outside of the static friction plate 63, and the limiting ring 641 is fixedly connected to the housing 73, so that the limiting ring 641 always remains fixed. The limiting ring 641 is provided with limiting teeth 642 along the circumference of the limiting ring 641, and the static friction plate 63 is provided with mating teeth 631, which are adapted to and mesh with the limiting teeth 642.

[0068] By using the limiting tooth 642 and the mating tooth 631, the rotation of the static friction plate 63 can be restricted, while the static friction plate 63 can move along the axial direction of the intermediate shaft 1 and thus press against the dynamic friction plate 62.

[0069] In one embodiment, the drive unit 65 includes a piston unit 651, a piston cylinder unit 652, and a reset member.

[0070] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the piston part 651 is generally disc-shaped and is fixedly connected to the static friction plate 63. The piston cylinder part 652 is opened on the second end cover 72 and has an annular cylinder structure. The piston part 651 and the piston cylinder part 652 form the main structure of the drive part 65. The piston part 651 is slidably connected to the piston cylinder part 652 along the axial direction of the intermediate shaft 1, and a pressure chamber 653 is formed between the piston part 651 and the piston cylinder part 652. A gas or liquid interface (not shown in the figure) is reserved on the piston cylinder part 652 to communicate with the pressure chamber 653. When gas or liquid is filled into the pressure chamber 653 through the gas or liquid interface, the piston part 651 will move outward from the piston cylinder part 652, so that the static friction plate 63 moves toward the position of the moving friction plate 62.

[0071] The reset member is located between the piston part 651 and the piston cylinder part 652, but the reset member is not located in the pressure chamber 653. After the gas or liquid in the pressure chamber 653 is discharged from the pressure chamber 653, the reset member will cause the piston part 651 to return to the initial position, thereby causing the reset member to drive the static friction plate 63 to disengage from the dynamic friction plate 62.

[0072] In this way, the moving friction plate 62 moves relative to the stationary friction plate 63.

[0073] In one embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the reset component includes a reset spring 654. A mounting portion 6511 is provided on the piston portion 651. The reset spring 654 is located in the reset cavity 655 formed by the mounting portion 6511 and the limiting portion 64 of the piston portion 651. One end of the reset spring 654 is fixedly connected to the mounting portion 6511 of the piston portion 651, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting portion 64.

[0074] Specifically, after gas or liquid is filled into the pressure chamber 653, the piston part 651 moves outward toward the piston cylinder part 652, thereby compressing and deforming the return spring 654, and the return spring 654 becomes elastic; after the gas or liquid is discharged from the pressure chamber 653, the return spring 654 will generate elastic force on the piston part 651, causing the piston part 651 to move inward toward the piston cylinder part 652, and finally move the piston part 651 to the initial position.

[0075] Of course, other flexible structures can also be used for the reset component.

[0076] In one embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the output component is pulley 2.

[0077] Specifically, the pulley 2 is rotatably connected to the intermediate shaft 1 via a bearing. After the pulley 2 is connected to other components by a belt, the pulley 2 can transmit power to the other components.

[0078] At the same time, refer to Figure 3 As shown, a connecting groove 21 is provided on the pulley 2. The connecting groove 21 is located on the side wall of the pulley 2 and is generally circular. A connecting plate 42 that is compatible with the connecting groove 21 is provided on the end of the sun gear shaft 4. After the connecting plate 42 is inserted into the connecting groove 21, the connecting plate 42 is fixedly connected to the pulley 2 by fixing bolts, so that the sun gear shaft 4 can drive the pulley 2 to rotate.

[0079] In one embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an input flange 9 is provided on the input end of the intermediate shaft 1, and the input flange 9 is fixedly connected to the intermediate shaft 1 by a locking nut.

[0080] The input flange 9 can be used to better transmit power to the intermediate shaft 1. At the same time, a cover and an oil seal (not shown in the figure) are provided between the input flange 9 and the pulley 2. Since the transfer case needs to be filled with lubricating oil, the cover and oil seal can seal the gap between the input flange 9 and the pulley 2.

[0081] At the same time, an oil seal is also provided at the output end of intermediate shaft 1 for sealing.
