[0001] The invention relates to a non-motor vehicle, and in particular to a speed change device. Background Art
[0002] The patent document with application publication number CN 116495093 A discloses a variable speed hub, which includes a hub shell, a first-stage drive assembly, a second-stage drive assembly and a third-stage drive assembly. The first-stage drive assembly directly drives the hub shell through a first claw ratchet. The second-stage drive assembly includes a second clutch and a second spline, the second clutch is fixed to the hub shell through a second claw ratchet and rotates with it to achieve power transmission, and the second claw ratchet is located on the outer peripheral side of the second spline. The third-stage drive assembly includes a third clutch and a third spline, the third clutch is fixed to the hub shell through a third claw ratchet and rotates with it to achieve power transmission, and the third claw ratchet is located on the outer peripheral side of the third spline.
[0003] The driving body rotates under the drive of the flywheel or other external force, and under the action of centrifugal force, the first claw opens and couples with the gear ring (fixed on the inner wall of the hub shell), so that the rotating driving body drives the hub shell to rotate. Since the hub shell is connected to the wheel, the hub shell moves with the wheel.
[0004] When the hub shell is in the first speed stage, the second claw and the second spline are in a decoupled state, the third claw and the third spline are in a decoupled state, the first claw and the gear ring are coupled, the second spline is idle, and the third spline is idle.
[0005] When the hub shell reaches the second speed, the speed of the hub shell is greater than the speed of the driving body, the speed of the gear ring fixedly connected to the hub shell is greater than the speed of the first pawl, the first pawl is in an overtaking state, and the first pawl has no driving effect on the hub. As the speed of the hub shell increases, under the action of centrifugal force, the second centrifugal block following the hub shell rotates radially, driving the second clutch plate to rotate a certain angle, and the second pawl originally restricted by the second clutch plate can rotate toward the center of rotation and couple with the second spline. At this time, the power is transmitted to the driving body, the gear ring of the second planetary gear set, the second spline, the second pawl, and the hub shell. At this time, the third pawl and the third spline are in a decoupled state, and the third spline is idling.
[0006] When the hub shell reaches the third speed, the speed of the second pawl ratchet following the hub shell is greater than the speed of the second spline, and the second pawl ratchet is in an overtaking state. At this time, the first pawl ratchet is of course in an overtaking state, and the first pawl ratchet and the second pawl ratchet have no driving effect on the hub. As the speed of the hub shell increases, under the action of centrifugal force, the third centrifugal block following the hub shell rotates radially, driving the third clutch plate to rotate a certain angle, and the third pawl ratchet originally restricted by the third clutch plate can rotate toward the rotation center and couple with the third spline. At this time, the power transmission is the driving body, the ring gear of the second planetary gear set, the planetary carrier of the third planetary gear set, the ring gear of the third planetary gear set, the third spline, the third pawl ratchet, and the hub shell.
[0007] When the rotation speed of the hub shell is higher than the third rotation speed, the first pawl ratchet, the second pawl ratchet and the third pawl ratchet are all in an overrunning state.
[0008] The gear ring of the second planetary gear set is provided with an axial extension structure, on which a fourth spline is provided, the fourth spline is an external spline, and the fourth spline cooperates with the internal spline of the second spline to achieve power transmission. The fourth spline is axially arranged in parallel with the gear ring of the second planetary gear assembly, occupying a longer axial space.
[0009] The gear ring of the third planetary gear set is provided with an axial extension structure, on which a sixth spline is provided, the sixth spline is an external spline, and the sixth spline cooperates with the internal spline of the third spline to achieve power transmission. The sixth spline is axially arranged in parallel with the gear ring of the third planetary gear assembly, occupying a longer axial space.
[0010] In order to realize electric drive, the speed hub needs to be integrated with the motor on the same hub shaft. However, the fourth spline is axially arranged in parallel with the gear ring of the second planetary gear assembly, and the sixth spline is axially arranged in parallel with the gear ring of the third planetary gear assembly, which occupies a long axial space and is not conducive to the integration of the speed hub and the motor on the same hub shaft. Summary of the invention
[0011] The technical problem solved by the present invention is that the fourth spline is axially parallel to the gear ring of the second planetary gear assembly, and the sixth spline is axially parallel to the gear ring of the third planetary gear assembly, which occupies a longer axial space and is not conducive to integrating the speed hub and the motor on the same hub shaft.
[0012] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a variable speed hub with a compact axial structure, comprising a hub shell pivotally connected to a hub shaft, a first-stage drive assembly pivotally connected to the hub shaft, a second-stage drive assembly connected to the first-stage drive assembly via a second planetary gear set, and a third-stage drive assembly connected to the second-stage drive assembly via a third planetary gear set;
[0013] The first-stage driving assembly includes a driving body and a first claw ratchet arranged on the driving body, wherein the first claw ratchet can directly drive the hub shell;
[0014] The second stage driving assembly includes a second clutch assembly, the second clutch assembly is located between the hub shell and the second gear ring of the second planetary gear set, the second clutch assembly is fixedly connected to the hub shell and can be clutched with the second gear ring; a second spline is provided on the periphery of the second gear ring, and the second clutch assembly is provided with a second pawl ratchet capable of unidirectionally driving the second spline;
[0015] The third stage driving assembly includes a third clutch assembly, the third clutch assembly is located between the hub shell and the third gear ring of the third planetary gear set, the third clutch assembly is fixedly connected to the hub shell and can be clutched with the third gear ring; the periphery of the third gear ring is provided with a third spline, and the third clutch assembly is provided with a third pawl ratchet capable of unidirectionally driving the third spline;
[0016] The second gear ring and the second spline are integrally formed, and the second spline is located at the periphery of the inner teeth of the second gear ring; the third gear ring and the third spline are integrally formed, and the third spline is located at the periphery of the inner teeth of the third gear ring.
[0017] The driving body is pivotally connected to the hub shaft and the hub shell. The driving body rotates under the drive of the flywheel or other external force. Under the action of centrifugal force, the first claw opens and couples with the first gear ring (fixed on the inner wall of the hub shell). In this way, the rotating driving body drives the hub shell to rotate. Since the hub shell is connected to the wheel, the hub shell moves with the wheel.
[0018] When the hub shell is in the first speed stage, the second claw and the second spline are in a decoupled state, the third claw and the third spline are in a decoupled state, the first claw and the gear ring are coupled, the second spline is idle, and the third spline is idle.
[0019] When the hub shell reaches the second speed, the speed of the hub shell is greater than the speed of the driving body, the speed of the gear ring fixedly connected to the hub shell is greater than the speed of the first pawl, the first pawl is in an overrunning state, and the first pawl has no driving effect on the hub. As the speed of the hub shell increases, under the action of centrifugal force, the second clutch assembly that follows the hub shell moves, causing the second pawl to couple with the second spline. At this time, the power is transmitted to the driving body, the second gear ring, the second spline, the second pawl, and the hub shell. At this time, the third pawl and the third spline are in a decoupled state, and the third spline is idling.
[0020] When the hub shell reaches the third speed, the speed of the second pawl ratchet following the hub shell is greater than the speed of the second spline, and the second pawl ratchet is in an overtaking state. At this time, the first pawl ratchet is of course in an overtaking state, and the first pawl ratchet and the second pawl ratchet have no driving effect on the hub. As the speed of the hub shell increases, under the action of centrifugal force, the third clutch assembly following the hub shell moves, so that the third pawl ratchet is coupled with the third spline. At this time, the power is transmitted to the driving body, the second gear ring, the planetary carrier of the third planetary gear set, the third gear ring, the third spline, the third pawl ratchet, and the hub shell.
[0021] When the rotation speed of the hub shell is higher than the third rotation speed, the first pawl ratchet, the second pawl ratchet and the third pawl ratchet are all in an overrunning state.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the second gear ring of the present invention is integrally formed with the second spline, and the second spline is radially arranged inside and outside the second gear ring, rather than being axially distributed; the third gear ring is integrally formed with the third spline, and the third spline is radially arranged inside and outside the third gear ring, rather than being axially distributed. In this way, the axial space occupied by the speed hub can be effectively saved.
[0023] The driving body is fixedly connected to the second planetary carrier of the second planetary gear set, or the driving body and the second planetary carrier of the second planetary gear set are designed as an integrated whole; the second gear ring of the second planetary gear set is linked to the third planetary carrier of the third planetary gear set. The driving body can be driven by a flywheel or directly by a motor. The driving body drives the second gear ring through the second planetary gear set, and the second gear ring drives the hub shell to rotate through the second spline and the second claw ratchet to increase the speed. The second gear ring drives the third gear ring through the third planetary gear set, and the third gear ring drives the hub shell to rotate through the third spline and the third claw ratchet to increase the speed.
[0024] The second clutch assembly includes a second clutch base fixedly connected to the hub shell, a second clutch plate movably engaged on the second clutch base, a second centrifugal block movably engaged with the second clutch base through a second torsion spring, a second pawl is rotatably connected to the second clutch base, the second centrifugal block is movably engaged with the second clutch plate, and the radial swing of the second centrifugal block can drive the second clutch plate to displace and cause the second pawl to clutch the second spline.

[0026] The second centrifugal block and the third centrifugal block are both located between the second clutch base and the third clutch base, and the second centrifugal block and the third centrifugal block are distributed on the same annular track. Compared with the prior art in which the second centrifugal block and the third centrifugal block are respectively distributed on their own annular tracks, and the two annular tracks are axially distributed, the present invention can effectively save the axial space occupied by the speed hub.
[0027] Any of the second pawl and the third pawl is rotatably connected to the corresponding clutch base through a hoop spring, and the corresponding clutch base is provided with an arc groove matched with the cylindrical rotating part of the pawl, and a hoop spring groove matched with the hoop spring, and the pawl is provided with a hoop spring limiting groove matched with the hoop spring. The hoop spring has a tendency to expand outwards, and under the action of the hoop spring, the pawl is restricted to the inner wall of the corresponding clutch base.

[0030] The hoop spring cooperates with the hoop spring groove of the pawl ratchet, so that the pawl ratchet has a tendency to rotate radially toward the corresponding spline. The second centrifugal block following the hub shell rotates after the centrifugal force it receives overcomes the elastic force of the second torsion spring, and drives the second clutch plate to rotate a certain angle through the second drive pin, and the second pawl ratchet limiting part disengages from the second pawl ratchet. Under the action of the hoop spring, the second pawl ratchet rotates radially and cooperates with the second spline. The third centrifugal block following the hub shell rotates after the centrifugal force it receives overcomes the elastic force of the third torsion spring, and drives the third clutch plate to rotate a certain angle through the third drive pin, and the third pawl ratchet limiting part disengages from the third pawl ratchet.

As the speed of the hub shell 40 increases, under the action of centrifugal force, the third centrifugal block 315 following the hub shell rotates after the centrifugal force overcomes the elastic force of the third torsion spring, and drives the third clutch plate to rotate a certain angle through the third driving pin, and the third pawl limiter is separated from the third pawl 311. Under the action of the hoop spring, the third pawl rotates radially and cooperates with the third spline 322.
