Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electric vehicle drive technology and relates to a compact decoupled electric vehicle drive device based on drum brakes. Background Technology
[0002] Conventional drive units are generally a combination of a motor (containing an electromagnetic brake) and a reducer (cycloidal pinwheel reducer, harmonic reducer, or planetary reducer), mostly used in the joints of industrial robots. These drive units generally operate according to a predetermined program and are commonly found in automated production lines.
[0003] Electric vehicle drive systems are typically operated by humans and require real-time acceleration and deceleration adjustments based on road conditions, i.e., driving or braking. Typical brake friction pairs are sensitive to dust, especially statically charged dust reminiscent of the lunar surface; therefore, dust prevention measures are necessary to avoid affecting vehicle braking performance. Given the limited chassis space and wheel hub space in typical vehicles, there is a need to develop compact drive systems. For vehicle reliability, in the event of a drive wheel failure, decoupling measures are necessary to automate the process and prevent the vehicle from becoming stuck.
