[0037] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] The embodiments of the present application provide a method for designing bolt holes of a reducer housing, an electric drive axle reducer and a vehicle, which can solve the problem that the electric drive axle reducer housing with a cast iron structure in the prior art is heavy and difficult to meet the requirements of lightweight automobiles. The electric drive axle reducer housing is manufactured with lightweight materials, and the effective thread depth is different from that of the electric drive axle reducer housing with a cast iron structure. The exhaustive method is used for testing, which is slow, and there is a problem of reducing test efficiency and thus reducing manufacturing efficiency.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, on the one hand, the present application provides a method for designing a bolt hole of a reducer housing, which comprises the following steps:

[0040] A model of a single-turn thread layer in the thread segment is established according to the parameters of the bolt 3 , and the single-turn thread layer is expanded along the root to form a thread segment 5 .

[0041] A stress analysis is performed on the thread segment 5 to obtain the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5 and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5.

[0042] The effective thread depth of the thread segment is obtained according to the tightening torque of the bolt 3, the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5, and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5.

[0043] When manufacturing the electric drive axle reducer, mounting holes 11 are provided at both ends of the upper side of the reducer housing 1. The set effective thread depth of the threaded section in the mounting hole 11 is designed according to the design method of the bolt hole of the reducer housing. The bearing cover 2 is arranged on the upper side of the reducer housing 1. The bearing cover 2 is provided with a connecting hole 21 corresponding to the mounting hole 11. The connecting hole 21 and the threaded section are both used for threaded cooperation with the bolt 3. The bolt 3 passes through the connecting hole 21 and extends into the mounting hole 11 to be connected with the threaded section. The bolt 3 is used to connect the bearing cover 2 and the reducer housing 1. When designing the effective thread depth, firstly, a model of a single-turn thread layer in the thread segment is established according to the parameters of the bolt 3, and the single-turn thread layer is expanded along the root to form a thread segment 5, and a force analysis is performed on the thread segment 5 to obtain the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5 and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5. According to the tightening torque of the bolt 3, the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5, and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5, the effective thread depth of the thread segment is obtained. The acquisition speed is fast, which improves the design speed of the thread segment inside the mounting hole 11, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of the reducer housing 1, and solves the problem that the electric drive axle reducer housing with a cast iron structure in the prior art is heavy and difficult to meet the requirements of lightweight automobiles. The electric drive axle reducer housing is manufactured with a lightweight material, and the effective thread depth is different from that of the electric drive axle reducer housing with a cast iron structure. The exhaustive method is slow to test, which reduces the test efficiency and thus reduces the manufacturing efficiency.

[0044] In this example, the single-turn thread layer is expanded along the root to form the thread tooth segment 5, which actually simplifies the single-turn thread layer into a cantilever beam structure. For example, if the single-turn thread layer is expanded along the major diameter D, the thread tooth segment 5 can be regarded as a cantilever beam with a width of πD.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the force analysis of the thread segment 5 to obtain the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5 and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5 includes:

[0046] Adjust the average pressure applied to the circumference of the mid-diameter of the thread tooth segment 5 to obtain a shear strength curve of the root section of the thread tooth segment 5 and a bending strength curve of the root section of the thread tooth segment 5;

[0047] According to the shear strength curve of the root section of the thread segment 5 and the bending strength curve of the root section of the thread segment 5, the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5 and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5 are obtained.

[0048] In this embodiment, the average pressure applied to the circumference of the median diameter of the thread segment 5 is first adjusted to obtain a shear strength curve of the root section of the thread segment 5 and a bending strength curve of the root section of the thread segment 5. According to the shear strength curve of the root section of the thread segment 5 and the bending strength curve of the root section of the thread segment 5, the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5 and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5 are obtained, thereby improving the speed of obtaining the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5 and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5, improving the design speed of the thread segment inside the mounting hole 11, and thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of the reducer housing 1.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, according to the formula: b=0.65P to obtain the safe shear strength of the root section of thread segment 5;

[0050] Among them, t is the safe shear strength of the root section of thread segment 5, Q is the total pressure borne by the thread segment, u is the number of thread layers, πD is the root length of thread segment 5, b is the root thickness of thread segment 5, [t] is the allowable shear stress of the material of thread segment 5, P is the thread pitch, and D is the major diameter of thread segment 5.

[0051] In this embodiment, according to the formula: b=0.65P to obtain the safe shear strength of the root section of thread segment 5; wherein, t is the safe shear strength of the root section of thread segment 5, Q is the total pressure borne by the thread segment, u is the number of thread layers, πD is the root length of thread segment 5, b is the root thickness of thread segment 5, [t] is the allowable shear stress of the material of thread segment 5, P is the thread pitch, and D is the major diameter of thread segment 5. The safe shear strength of the root section of thread segment 5 can be quickly obtained.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, according to the formula:

[0053] l=(DD 2 ) / 2, b=0.65P to obtain the safe bending strength of the root section of thread segment 5;

[0054] Among them, σ b is the safety bending strength of the root section of thread segment 5, Q is the total pressure borne by the thread segment, u is the number of thread layers, πD is the root length of thread segment 5, b is the root thickness of thread segment 5, [σ] b is the allowable bending stress of the material of thread segment 5, l is the bending force arm, P is the thread pitch, D is the major diameter of thread segment 5, and D2 is the middle diameter of thread segment 5.

[0055] In this embodiment, according to the formula: l=(DD 2 ) / 2, b = 0.65P to obtain the safe bending strength of the root section of thread segment 5; where σ b is the safety bending strength of the root section of thread segment 5, Q is the total pressure borne by the thread segment, u is the number of thread layers, πD is the root length of thread segment 5, b is the root thickness of thread segment 5, [σ] b is the allowable bending stress of the material of thread segment 5, l is the bending force arm, P is the thread pitch, D is the major diameter of thread segment 5, and D2 is the middle diameter of thread segment 5. The safe bending strength of the root section of thread segment 5 can be quickly obtained.

[0056] In this example, the middle diameter of the thread segment 5 refers to the diameter of the middle circumference of a single turn of the thread layer, and the major diameter of the thread segment 5 refers to the diameter of the outer circumference of a single turn of the thread layer.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the effective thread depth of the thread segment is obtained according to the tightening torque of the bolt 3, the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5, and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5, including:

[0058] According to the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread tooth segment 5 and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread tooth segment 5, the safe shear strength and safe bending strength of the root section of the single-turn thread layer are obtained;

[0059] According to the tightening torque of the bolt 3, the safe shear strength and safe bending strength of the root section of the single-turn thread layer, the number of thread layers required to withstand the tightening torque of the bolt 3 is obtained;

[0060] Get the effective thread depth of the thread segment based on the number of thread layers.

[0061] In this embodiment, the safe shear strength and safe bending strength of the root section of the single-turn thread layer are obtained according to the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread tooth segment 5 and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread tooth segment 5. The number of thread layers required to withstand the tightening torque of the bolt 3 is obtained according to the safe shear strength and safe bending strength of the root section of the single-turn thread layer. The effective thread depth of the thread segment is obtained according to the number of thread layers. The acquisition speed is fast, which improves the design speed of the thread segment in the mounting hole 11, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of the reducer housing 1.

[0062] In some optional embodiments, after obtaining the effective thread depth of the thread segment, the method further includes obtaining the actual depth of the bolt hole according to the parameters of the bolt 3 and the effective thread depth of the thread segment.

[0063] In this embodiment, after obtaining the effective thread depth of the thread segment, the actual depth of the bolt hole is obtained according to the parameters of the bolt 3 and the effective thread depth of the thread segment, so as to quickly obtain the actual bolt hole depth.

[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, on the one hand, the present application also provides an electric drive axle reducer, which includes:

[0065] The reducer housing 1 has mounting holes 11 at both ends of its upper side, and the set effective thread depth of the inner thread section of the mounting hole 11 is designed according to the above-mentioned design method of the bolt hole of the reducer housing;

[0066] The bearing cover 2 is arranged on the upper side of the reducer housing 1. The bearing cover 2 is provided with a connecting hole 21 corresponding to the mounting hole 11. The connecting hole 21 and the threaded section are both used to threadably cooperate with the bolt 3. The bolt 3 passes through the connecting hole 21 and extends into the mounting hole 11 to be connected with the threaded section. The bolt 3 is used to connect the bearing cover 2 and the reducer housing 1.

[0067] When manufacturing the electric drive axle reducer, mounting holes 11 are provided at both ends of the upper side of the reducer housing 1. The set effective thread depth of the threaded section in the mounting hole 11 is designed according to the design method of the bolt hole of the reducer housing. The bearing cover 2 is arranged on the upper side of the reducer housing 1. The bearing cover 2 is provided with a connecting hole 21 corresponding to the mounting hole 11. The connecting hole 21 and the threaded section are both used for threaded cooperation with the bolt 3. The bolt 3 passes through the connecting hole 21 and extends into the mounting hole 11 to be connected with the threaded section.

When designing the effective thread depth, firstly, a model of a single-turn thread layer in the thread segment is established according to the parameters of the bolt 3, and the single-turn thread layer is expanded along the root to form a thread segment 5, and a force analysis is performed on the thread segment 5 to obtain the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5 and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5. According to the tightening torque of the bolt 3, the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5, and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5, the effective thread depth of the thread segment is obtained. The acquisition speed is fast, which improves the design speed of the thread segment inside the mounting hole 11, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of the reducer housing 1, and solves the problem that the electric drive axle reducer housing with a cast iron structure in the prior art is heavy and difficult to meet the requirements of lightweight automobiles. The electric drive axle reducer housing is manufactured with a lightweight material, and the effective thread depth is different from that of the electric drive axle reducer housing with a cast iron structure. The exhaustive method is slow to test, which reduces the test efficiency and thus reduces the manufacturing efficiency.

[0068] like Figure 2As shown, in some optional embodiments, a steel sleeve 4 is provided in the mounting hole 11 , the steel sleeve 4 is integrally cast with the reducer housing 1 , and a threaded section is provided on the inner side of the steel sleeve 4 .

[0070] In some optional embodiments, the reducer housing 1 is made of aluminum alloy.

Aluminum alloy has low density but relatively high strength, close to or exceeding high-quality steel, good plasticity, can be processed into various profiles, and has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.

[0072] In this example, the material of the reducer housing 1 can also be magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, engineering plastic or carbon fiber composite material. Aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, engineering plastic or carbon fiber composite material are all lightweight materials, which help to lighten the vehicle.

[0073] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, on the other hand, the present application also provides a vehicle, which includes the above-mentioned electric drive axle reducer.

[0074] When manufacturing the electric drive axle reducer, mounting holes 11 are provided at both ends of the upper side of the reducer housing 1. The set effective thread depth of the threaded section in the mounting hole 11 is designed according to the design method of the bolt hole of the reducer housing.

When designing the effective thread depth, firstly, a model of a single-turn thread layer in the thread segment is established according to the parameters of the bolt 3, and the single-turn thread layer is expanded along the root to form a thread segment 5, and a force analysis is performed on the thread segment 5 to obtain the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5 and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5. According to the tightening torque of the bolt 3, the safe shear strength of the root section of the thread segment 5, and the safe bending strength of the root section of the thread segment 5, the effective thread depth of the thread segment is obtained.

The electric drive axle reducer housing is manufactured with a lightweight material, and the effective thread depth is different from that of the electric drive axle reducer housing with a cast iron structure. The exhaustive method is slow to test, which reduces the test efficiency and thus reduces the manufacturing efficiency.

[0075] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the effective thread depth obtained by the present application can be verified by a tensile test, and after verification, it is confirmed that the effective thread depth designed by the reducer housing bolt hole design method provided by the present application meets the design requirements.

[0076] To sum up, when manufacturing the electric drive axle reducer, mounting holes 11 are provided at both ends of the upper side of the reducer housing 1.

According to the number of thread layers, the effective thread depth of the thread segment is obtained. According to the parameters of the bolt 3 and the effective thread depth of the thread segment, the actual depth of the bolt hole is obtained. The acquisition speed is fast, which improves the design speed of the thread segment inside the mounting hole 11, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of the reducer housing 1, and solves the problem that the electric drive axle reducer housing with a cast iron structure in the prior art is heavy and difficult to meet the requirements of lightweight automobiles. The electric drive axle reducer housing is manufactured with lightweight materials, and the effective thread depth is different from that of the electric drive axle reducer housing with a cast iron structure. The exhaustive test speed is slow, which reduces the test efficiency and thus reduces the manufacturing efficiency.
