However, the passive gear 4 of the present application is connected with the external structure at the inner ring part of the passive gear 4, so that the thickness of the position where the power input teeth 45 of the passive gear 4 are located can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the passive gear 4. The first housing 6 is internally provided with the planetary gear 2 and the half shaft gear 8, wherein the planetary gear 2 is used for transmitting the action force, and the half shaft gear 8 is also used for transmitting the action force while changing the transmission direction of the force.
[0055] In addition, as shown in Figures 3-5 , the diameters of the first housing 6 and the second housing 1 are smaller than the diameter of the passive gear 4, which can reduce the weight of the overall differential housing, and in combination with the reduction of the weight of the passive gear 4, the weight of the differential assembly 100 is reduced, so that the structure of the embodiment of the present application is compact and lightweight.
[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 11 , a positioning groove 46 is formed on one side of the inner ring part, and the end of the first housing 6 extends into the positioning groove 46. By providing the positioning groove 46 on the inner ring part, the first housing 6 can be quickly and initially positioned when installed with the passive gear 4, and the first housing 6 can also be conveniently installed with the inner ring part of the passive gear 4 after positioning.

[0058] In actuality, the passive gear 4 includes a middle second inner hole 41, and the inner ring part of the passive gear 4 is respectively provided with a left flange end face 42 and a right flange end face 44, a connecting through hole 43 is arranged through the left flange end face 42 and the right flange end face 44 of the inner ring part, a power input tooth 45 is arranged at the periphery of the inner ring part, and the connecting through hole 43 is distributed along the periphery of the inner ring part at intervals; in combination with Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the drawings, the first shell 6 includes a spherical surface 66 and a bearing mounting cylindrical surface 614, the periphery of the bearing mounting cylindrical surface 614 includes a first bearing positioning surface 615 for positioning the installed bearing, and the inner periphery of the spherical surface 66 is a first positioning stop 62, which extends outward along the periphery of the first positioning stop 62 to form a first flange end face 61 of the first shell 6, and the first flange end face 61 is provided with a plurality of threaded through holes 65 or threaded blind holes 64.
[0059] In combination with Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in the drawings, the second shell 1 is provided with a second positioning stop 15 in the middle, which extends outward along the periphery to form a second flange end face 16, and the second flange end face 16 is provided with a plurality of bolt through holes 18; one side of the second flange end face 16 is provided with a cylindrical surface 13 with a smaller diameter than the second positioning stop 15, the periphery of the cylindrical surface 13 is provided with a second bearing positioning surface 14 for positioning the installed bearing, and the side of the second flange end face 16 close to the cylindrical surface 13 is a connecting piece matching surface 12, which can be used to match the connecting piece 11.
[0060] So, when the passive gear 4 is mounted with the first shell 6 and the second shell 1, first, the inner periphery of the first positioning stop 62 and the bearing mounting cylindrical surface 614 of the first shell 6 are coaxially centered with the second inner hole 41 of the passive gear 4 and the second positioning stop 15 of the second shell 1, the first flange end face 61 of the first shell 6 is attached to the right flange end face 44 of the passive gear 4, and the threaded blind hole 64 and the threaded through hole 65 of the first shell 6 are aligned with the connecting through hole 43 of the passive gear 4.

[0061] In some embodiments, the end of the first shell 6 is provided with a plurality of connecting columns which are distributed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the first shell 6, and the connecting columns are provided with connecting holes.

The use of the two can not only ensure better strength and support performance of the long threaded hole column 611 of the threaded blind hole 64, but also enable the short threaded hole column 612 formed by the outer contour of the threaded through hole 65 to have a lighter weight while assisting in bearing on the basis of ensuring strength and support performance.

The long threaded hole column 611 and the threaded blind hole 64 inside it are mainly used for important structures of the main body bearing and supporting, and the arrangement of the first reinforcing ribs 613 can further enhance the strength of the first housing 6 and the strength of the connection between the first housing 6 and the passive gear 4 and the second housing 1. The arrangement of the second reinforcing ribs 616 between two adjacent long threaded hole columns 611 and two adjacent short threaded hole columns 612 can enhance the strength and auxiliary bearing capacity of the first housing 6, meet the strength, and achieve the effect of light weight. Moreover, it can also increase the bonding area of the first flange end face 61.
[0064] In some embodiments, the first housing 6 is provided with a plurality of lightening holes 69 which are distributed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the first housing 6; and the lightening holes 69 are arranged in the non-power transmission area. The arrangement of the lightening holes 69 can make the first housing 6 lighter in weight as a whole and use less material in total, and at the same time, since the lightening holes 69 are arranged in the non-power transmission area, it does not affect the overall power transmission.
