[0017] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 The present invention discloses an integrated device for in-wheel hub motor drum brake and water cooling, comprising a wheel hub 1, a rotor 2, a stator 3, a retaining frame 4, a brake drum 5, a brake shoe 6, a rotating shaft 7, a water retaining cylinder 8 and a cooling pipe 9.
[0019] The rotor 2 and the brake drum 5 are both fixed to the wheel hub 1, the stator 3 is arranged on the inner side of the rotor 2 and fixed to the retaining frame 4, the rotating shaft 7 passes through the retaining frame 4 and is coaxial and fixed with the retaining frame 4, the rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the wheel hub 1, and the brake shoe 6 is arranged on the inner side of the brake drum 5 and fixed to the rotating shaft 7.
[0020] The brake drum 5 is coaxially placed in the water retaining cylinder 8, and the rotating shaft 7 passes through the water retaining cylinder 8 and is fixedly sealed therewith. Two raised circular first water retaining ribs 51 are provided in the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the brake drum 5, and two first water retaining grooves 81 are provided on the inner wall of the water retaining cylinder 8. The space between the two first water retaining grooves 81 forms a cooling chamber 80. Each first water retaining rib 51 extends into a first water retaining groove 81. The cooling pipe 9 works independently in two ways, both of which are connected to the cooling chamber 80. One way sprays cooling medium into the cooling chamber 80, and the other way sucks the cooling medium in the cooling chamber 80.
[0021] A plurality of damping blades 52 arranged at equal intervals are provided on the outer wall of the brake drum 5 . The damping blades 52 are arranged along the axial direction of the brake drum 5 . The damping blades 52 are placed in the middle of the cooling cavity 80 .
[0022] The cooling chamber 80 cools the brake drum and brake shoe. On a long down-wave section, when the sensor detects that the brake drum has steadily risen to the set temperature, the two cooling pipes 9 spray water into the cooling chamber 80 while pumping water out of the cooling chamber 80. At this time, the flowing water cools down and no water accumulates in the cooling chamber 80.
[0023] When it is necessary to enhance the water resistance to assist braking, during the water spraying process, water is not pumped out, and braking is assisted by the water resistance between the damping blade 52 and the water, thereby playing the role of hydraulic deceleration auxiliary braking.
[0024] The structure of the first water retaining groove 81 is as follows: four convex ribs are arranged in the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the water retaining tube 8, two convex ribs form a group, and the first water retaining groove 81 is formed between two convex ribs in each group. To ensure the sealing of the cooling chamber 80, a sealing member 82 is arranged in the first water retaining groove 81.
[0025] The water retaining cylinder 8 in the present invention is a cylinder structure with one end closed and the other end open, the rotating shaft 7 passes through the closed end of the water retaining cylinder 8, and a retaining edge portion 83 bent 90° toward the axial direction is provided at the open end of the water retaining cylinder 8, and the retaining edge portion 83 is placed on one side of the hub 1. A circular second water retaining rib 11 is provided on the inner end surface of the hub 1, and a second water retaining groove is provided on the retaining edge portion 83, and the second water retaining rib 11 is placed in the second water retaining groove.
[0026] The second water retaining rib 11 cooperates with the second water retaining groove to form a second seal. Figure 1 When the seal on the right side of the middle cooling cavity 80 fails, the second seal comes into play, which can further prevent leakage.
[0027] A first water leakage cavity 84 is formed between the retaining edge 83 and the first water retaining groove 81 on the corresponding side. When in use, if the seal on the right side of the cooling cavity 80 fails, water enters the first water leakage cavity 84, and a drainage branch is connected to the first water leakage cavity 84, which can be connected to the branch connected to the cooling cavity 80.
[0028] Similarly, the present invention also sets a second water leakage chamber 85 on the left side of the cooling chamber 80. The structure of the second water leakage chamber 85 is as follows: a baffle 53 is fixed on the brake drum 5, the baffle 53 is coaxially arranged with the water retaining tube 8, and the baffle 53 closes the inner cavity of the brake drum 5, so that the second water leakage chamber 85 is formed between the outer wall of the baffle 53 and the inner wall of the water retaining tube 8. A drainage branch is connected to the second water leakage chamber 85, and the drainage branch can be connected to the branch connected to the cooling chamber 80.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
