Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electric vehicle chassis and transmission, and in particular to a mechanical sealing structure and a reduction-type wheel-side electric drive system. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as "carbon neutrality" has become a global consensus and new energy vehicle technology has advanced to a new stage of development in response to global climate change, in-wheel electric vehicles have garnered increasing attention. In-wheel electric drive systems typically utilize in-wheel motors as their power source, which independently drive the wheels after torque is increased through in-wheel reducers. Compared to traditional centralized electric drive systems, reduced-speed in-wheel electric drive systems omit transmission devices such as differentials, universal joints, and drive axles, resulting in a simpler structure and more efficient transmission.

[0003] The power system of a reduction-type wheel-mounted electric drive system is located close to the ground, making it inevitably exposed to dust and sand. The wheel-mounted reducer operates in an oil-lubricated wet cavity. Without proper sealing, dust and even foreign matter can enter the wet cavity, potentially causing failure of the reducer or even the wheel-mounted motor.

[0004] Traditional contact oil seals require high machining accuracy for the surface of parts to achieve a good sealing effect, and usually require precision turning or even grinding of the outer circle. In addition, the diameter of the sealing position of the reduction wheel-side electric drive system is relatively large (close to the size of the outer diameter of the rim), which places stringent requirements on process equipment and high production costs. In addition, the sealing position of the reduction wheel-side electric drive system is frequently impacted by the up and down bumps of the wheel. Such working conditions are quite unfavorable to the contact area between the traditional oil seal and the high-speed rotating parts, which may cause local high friction and temperature rise, and even cause deformation and damage to the oil seal. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a sealing technology solution suitable for the reduction wheel-side electric drive system that is impact-resistant, temperature-resistant, and cost-controlled.

[0046] The present invention provides a mechanical seal structure 4 suitable for a reduction-type wheel-side electric drive system. The reduction-type wheel-side electric drive system includes a wheel-side motor 1, a wheel-side reduction mechanism 2, an integrated housing 3, a rotating bracket 5, a hub bearing 6, and a rim structure 7. The wheel-side motor 1 is fixedly connected to the integrated housing 3, the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2 is mounted within the integrated housing 3, the input end of the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2 is connected to the wheel-side motor 1, and the output end is connected to the rotating bracket 5. The rotating bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the hub bearing 6, and the hub bearing 6 is fixedly connected to the rim structure 7. Figure 1 As shown, the mechanical sealing structure 4 provided in the present application is arranged between the integrated shell 3 and the rotating bracket 5, and the mechanical sealing structure 4 includes a mechanical sealing threaded ring 41 and a mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42, and the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42 cooperates with the mechanical sealing threaded ring 41; the mechanical sealing threaded ring 41 is fixedly connected to the integrated shell 3 by a thread, and its inner end face is close to the side of the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2, and its outer end face is away from the side of the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2; the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42 is fixedly connected to the rotating bracket 5 by a bolt 9, and its inner end face is close to the side of the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2, and its outer end face is away from the side of the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2.

[0047] During the driving process, the wheel-side motor 1 serves as the power source. The power is decelerated and torque-increased by the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2, and then drives the rotating bracket 5. The rotating bracket 5 drives the hub bearing 6, and finally drives the wheel 8 through the rim structure 7. In the above operation process, Figure 1 As shown, the mechanical sealing structure 4 is provided between the integrated housing 3 and the rotating bracket 5, and plays a sealing role on the wet cavity in the integrated housing 3. Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2 adopts gear transmission, and its output element is the ring gear 21, which drives the rotating bracket 5 to rotate at high speed. In fact, the function of the reduction transmission can be realized in many forms and is not limited to gear transmission. The specific forms of the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2 include but are not limited to gear transmission, belt transmission, chain transmission and other reduction transmission methods. Any device that can realize the reduction transmission function at this position is within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] The mechanical seal structure 4 is composed of two parts: a mechanical seal threaded ring 41 and a mechanical seal labyrinth ring 42. The mechanical seal labyrinth ring 42 is fixedly connected to the rotating bracket 5 by bolts 9, and rotates at high speed along with the rotating bracket 5 during operation. The outer side of the mechanical seal threaded ring 41 is provided with a thread, which is fixedly connected to the integrated housing 3 through the thread. The mechanical seal threaded ring 41 does not rotate during operation. In the embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the mechanical sealing threaded ring 41 is combined with the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42 , and the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42 is connected to the rotating bracket 5 through the bolt 9 , thereby driving the hub bearing 6 and the rim structure 7 to rotate.

[0049] Among them, the mechanical sealing threaded ring 41 is an annular structure, which can be approximately regarded as a cylindrical shell with a small axial length. Its outer side is provided with a thread 412 that is compatible with the integrated shell 3, and its inner side is provided with a staggered fin structure 411; the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42 is an annular structure, its outer side is matched with the staggered fin structure 411, and its end face is provided with a bolt mounting hole 423 that is compatible with the rotating bracket 5.

[0050] The mechanical sealing structure 4 provided in the present application is installed in the sealing position of the large diameter of the wheel rim. The diameter is large (close to the size of the outer diameter of the rim) and is frequently impacted by the up and down bumps of the wheel 8. For traditional rubber sealing rings, such working conditions are relatively harsh on the contact area of ​​high-speed rotating parts, which may cause local high friction and temperature rise, and even cause deformation, damage or leakage failure of the rubber sealing ring. The invention provides a mechanical sealing structure 4 suitable for a reduction-type wheel-rim electric drive system, which adopts a mechanical sealing threaded ring 41 and a mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42. The rigidity of the components is high and not easy to deform. The connection method adopts a detachable threaded ring or bolt connection, and is not sensitive to temperature rise. Therefore, the mechanical sealing structure 4 has the advantages of impact resistance, temperature rise resistance, high rigidity, not easy to deform, manufacturing-friendly, easy to disassemble and assemble, can be reassembled, and low cost.

[0051] Specifically, the mechanical sealing threaded ring 41 and the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42 are clearance-matched; Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6As shown, the staggered fin structure 411 includes a plurality of fins arranged in parallel, the fins are annular with an outer diameter matching the inner diameter of the mechanical sealing thread ring 41, and are coaxial with the mechanical sealing thread ring 41. The fins are divided into first fins and second fins. The number of the first fins is multiple and they are arranged on the side close to the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2, and the number of the second fins is multiple and they are arranged on the side away from the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2. The length of the first fin is greater than that of the second fin, and the first fin on the side closest to the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2 and the second fin on the side farthest from the wheel-side reduction mechanism 2 are flush with the inner end face and the outer end face of the mechanical sealing thread ring 41; as shown Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the outer side surface of the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42 is provided with a first annular structure with a stepped cross-section, the first vertical surface of the first annular structure is the inner end surface of the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42, the first step surface of the first annular structure cooperates with multiple first fins, the second vertical surface of the first annular structure cooperates with the first fin closest to the second fin, and the second step surface of the first annular structure cooperates with multiple second fins.

[0052] like Figure 4-8 As shown, the outer end face of the mechanical sealing threaded ring 41 is provided with a recessed groove 414, which is an annular groove; the outer side face of the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42 is also provided with a radially raised feature structure and an axially raised feature structure, and the radially raised feature structure and the axially raised feature structure 422 form a second annular structure with an L-shaped cross-section, and the second annular structure is arranged radially outside the first annular structure; the radially raised feature structure 421 is connected to the second step surface, and the radially raised feature structure 421 is matched with the inner outer end face of the mechanical sealing threaded ring 41, and the outer end face between the recessed groove 414 and the inner side face of the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42 is the inner outer end face of the mechanical sealing threaded ring 41; the size of the axially raised feature structure 422 is adapted to the size of the recessed groove 414; the recessed groove 414 and the radially raised feature 421 and the axially raised feature 422 of the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42 achieve a slight clearance fit.

[0053] The inner side of the mechanical seal threaded ring is provided with an interlaced fin structure 411, which is clearance-fitted with the mechanical seal labyrinth ring 42. When the wheel 8 rotates, an air pressure difference is generated between the interlaced fin structure 411 of the mechanical seal threaded ring and the mechanical seal labyrinth ring 42, causing the pressure in the wet chamber to be higher than the external air pressure, thereby preventing liquid or gaseous impurities from entering the wet chamber through air pressure barrier. The mechanical seal labyrinth ring 42 is provided with radial and axial raised features, which form a 90° angle between them, to prevent foreign objects or larger monomers from entering the wet chamber through physical barrier. In summary, the mechanical seal structure 4 achieves the desired sealing effect through the dual barrier methods of physical barrier and air pressure barrier.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the multiple fins of the staggered fin structure 411 are arranged at equal intervals, and the number of the first fins is the same as the number of the second fins. In other embodiments, the multiple first fins of the staggered fin structure 411 can also be arranged at equal intervals, and the multiple second fins of the staggered fin structure 411 can also be arranged at equal intervals, and the number of the first fins and the second fins is not limited. Specifically, Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 The staggered fin structure 411 shown is schematic. Its specific dimensions, staggering, and arrangement should be determined based on actual gaps and expected pressure differentials, through theoretical calculations and simulation analysis, and then verified through relevant testing to achieve the desired sealing effect. Any structure that can achieve pressure isolation in this location is within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] There are multiple bolt mounting holes 423, which are evenly arranged on the end face of the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42 so as to connect the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42 with the rotating bracket 5. In the embodiment of the present application, 12 bolt mounting holes 423 are set, which are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction on the end face of the mechanical sealing labyrinth ring 42. In fact, according to actual parameters such as the size of the wheel 8, the number and setting position of the bolt mounting holes 423 can be flexibly adjusted during application.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, two end face feature groove structures 413 are provided on the outer end face of the mechanical sealing threaded ring 41, and the line connecting the two ends passes through the center of the mechanical sealing threaded ring 41. When installing the mechanical sealing threaded ring 41, the two end face feature groove structures 413 are used to support the tooling embedded in the groove to apply a tightening torque so as to screw the mechanical sealing threaded ring 41 to the integrated housing 3.

[0057] The present invention also provides a wheel-side electric drive system suitable for reduction type, comprising a wheel-side motor 1, a wheel-side reduction mechanism 2, an integrated housing 3, a rotating bracket 5, a hub bearing 6 and a rim structure 7, wherein the above-mentioned mechanical sealing structure 4 is arranged between the integrated housing 3 and the rotating bracket 5.

[0058] The above describes in detail the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concepts of the present invention without inventive effort. Therefore, any technical solutions that can be derived by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation based on the concepts of the present invention and the prior art should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
