[0049] A-axis DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] In order to more clearly explain the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail in this section in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In addition to the various implementation methods described in this section, the present application can also be implemented in other different ways. Without violating the spirit of the present application, those skilled in the art can make corresponding improvements, deformations and substitutions, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed in this section. The scope of protection of the present application shall be subject to the claims.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the embodiment of the present application proposes an electric bridge drive system, which can be used in, for example, electric vehicles. In one example, the front axle of the vehicle can use an oil-cooled electric bridge drive system, but considering the vehicle layout and cost, the rear axle of the vehicle does not have a water or oil pipeline connected to the electric bridge drive system for cooling. The electric bridge drive system can use air cooling, occupies a small space, and can be set on the rear axle of the vehicle.

[0052] The electric bridge drive system may include an air-cooled motor 100 and a gearbox 200. The air-cooled motor includes a rotor shaft 1, a motor rotor 2, a motor stator 3 and a housing 4. The rotor shaft 1, the motor rotor 2 and the motor stator 3 are arranged inside the housing 4. The motor rotor 2 is mounted on the rotor shaft 1, and the motor stator 3 is located radially outside the motor rotor 2. The air-cooled motor and the gearbox can be connected through the rotor shaft 1, some gears of the gearbox can be sleeved on the rotor shaft 1, and the air-cooled motor and the gearbox can be arranged inside the housing 4. The air-cooled motor can be an asynchronous motor. Here, the air-cooled motor may not include a speed change mechanism.

[0053] The axial direction A of the electric bridge drive system, the axial direction of the air-cooled motor, and the axial direction of the rotor shaft 1 are consistent. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the axial direction A refers to the axial direction of the rotor shaft 1 .

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the housing 4 includes a motor housing 41, a motor end cover 42 and a gearbox housing 43. The motor housing 41 is used to accommodate the motor rotor 2, the motor stator 3, etc., and the gearbox housing 43 is used to accommodate the gears of the gearbox, etc. The motor end cover 42 and the gearbox housing 43 can be connected to the axial ends of the motor housing 41 respectively, and the rotor shaft 1 can be installed on the motor housing 41 and the gearbox housing 43 through bearings.

[0055] The rotor shaft 1 includes a rotor shaft body 11 and an air tube 12. The rotor shaft body 11 is a hollow shaft with a through hole at its axis. The air tube 12 is arranged inside the rotor shaft body 11. The air tube 12 and the rotor shaft body 11 are torsionally connected, and the air tube 12 can rotate together with the rotor shaft body 11.

[0056] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the motor end cover 42 is provided with a plurality of motor end cover air holes 421, and the plurality of motor end cover air holes 421 are aligned with the rotor shaft 1. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the gearbox housing 43 is provided with a plurality of gearbox housing air holes 431, and the plurality of gearbox housing air holes 431 are aligned with the rotor shaft 1. The gearbox housing air holes 431 and the motor end cover air holes 421 are respectively located at the axial ends of the rotor shaft 1. The apertures of the motor end cover air holes 421 and the gearbox housing air holes 431 are smaller than the aperture of the center hole of the rotor shaft body 11, which can prevent larger foreign matter from entering the interior of the rotor shaft 1.

[0057] It can be understood that the output shaft of the gearbox 200 can be offset relative to the rotor shaft 1, that is, the output shaft of the gearbox 200 can be arranged parallel to the rotor shaft of the motor but not coaxially (coaxially). Of course, the present application is not limited thereto.

[0058] The radial gap between the rotor shaft 1 and the housing 4 can be sealed by a seal, which can prevent small foreign matter inside the rotor shaft 1 from entering the motor or the gearbox. The seal may include a motor end seal 5 and a gearbox end seal 6, for example, Figure 1 The radial gap between the rotor shaft 1 and the motor end cover 42 may be provided with a motor end seal 5, which is sleeved on the rotor shaft 1. The radial gap between the rotor shaft 1 and the gearbox housing 43 may be provided with a gearbox end seal 6, which is sleeved on the rotor shaft 1.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the inner circumferential surface of the rotor shaft body 11 may be provided with an axial fixing groove 111 and a circumferential fixing groove 112 .

[0060] The axial fixing groove 111 can cooperate with the axial fixing buckle 122 of the air tube 12, so that the rotor shaft body 11 and the air tube 12 are clamped and fixed in the axial direction A. The axial fixing groove 111 can be annular.

[0061] The circumferential fixing slot 112 can cooperate with the circumferential fixing buckle 123 of the air pipe 12, so that the rotor shaft body 11 and the air pipe 12 are circumferentially clamped and fixed, so that the air pipe 12 and the rotor shaft body 11 are torsionally connected. The circumferential fixing slot 112 can be tooth-shaped.

[0062] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the air pipe 12 is provided with an axial fixing buckle 122 and a circumferential fixing buckle 123 , and the axial fixing buckle 122 and the circumferential fixing buckle 123 can be respectively provided at two axial ends of the air pipe 12 .

[0063] The axial fixing buckle 122 can be an elastic claw. After the air tube 12 is inserted into the rotor shaft body 11, the elastic claw can be embedded in the axial fixing groove 111, so that the rotor shaft body 11 and the air tube 12 are clamped and fixed in the axial direction A.

[0064] The circumferential fixing buckle 123 may be tooth-shaped. After the air tube 12 is inserted into the rotor shaft body 11 , the circumferential fixing buckle 123 may be embedded in the circumferential fixing groove 112 , so that the air tube 12 and the rotor shaft body 11 are connected in a torsion-proof manner.

[0065] The air pipe 12 forms an air passage P inside. The rotor shaft body 11 may be provided with blades inside, and the blades may be connected to the air pipe 12. When the rotor shaft 1 rotates, the blades rotate together to generate an airflow flowing along the axial direction A of the rotor shaft 1 in the air passage P, thereby helping to cool the rotor shaft 1.

[0066] In a possible implementation, the blade may be an inclined wall 121, which is disposed in the air passage P inside the air pipe 12, and is inclined relative to the axial section of the air pipe 12. The inclined wall 121 may separate the air passage P into a first air passage P1 and a second air passage P2, and two openings with different areas are formed at both ends of the air pipe 12. When the rotor shaft 1 rotates, under the action of the inclined wall 121, the airflow may flow from the end with a larger opening area to the end with a smaller opening area.

[0067] The first air passage P1 is at one axial end ( Figure 1 The opening of the first air passage P1 at the left end is larger than that of the first air passage P1 at the other axial end ( Figure 1 The right end of the opening, refer to Figure 1 , the gas in the first air channel P1 flows from the left to the right. The second air channel P2 is at one axial end ( Figure 1 The opening of the second air passage P2 at the other axial end ( Figure 1 The right end of the opening, refer to Figure 1 , the gas in the second air passage P2 flows from the right side to the left side. The air can flow into or out of the housing 4 through the air holes on the housing 4, thereby cooling the rotor shaft 1 and the motor rotor 2 through the air flow.

[0068] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the air pipe 12 may include a first air half pipe 12A and a second air half pipe 12B. The first air half pipe 12A and the second air half pipe 12B may be semicircular pipes. The first air half pipe 12A and the second air half pipe 12B are installed opposite to each other.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, the first air half pipe 12A includes a first peripheral wall and a first inclined wall, and the first peripheral wall and the first inclined wall can be integrally formed. Figure 5 As shown, the second air half pipe 12B includes a second peripheral wall and a second inclined wall, and the second peripheral wall and the second inclined wall can be integrally formed. The edges of the first inclined wall and the second inclined wall are tightly matched to form an inclined wall 121, and the air pipe 12 is formed by splicing the first air half pipe 12A and the second air half pipe 12B, so that the air pipe 12 is easy to process and install, and the cost is low. The first inclined wall and the second inclined wall can both be flat plate structures, so the inclined wall 121 can also be a flat plate structure, and the inclined wall 121 can be inclined relative to the axial direction of the air pipe 12.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in the axial direction A of the electric bridge drive system, the air pipe 12 is located radially inside the motor rotor 2. The peripheral wall of the air pipe 12 is provided with a plurality of through holes 125, through which the air flow can contact the rotor shaft body 11, thereby taking away the heat of the rotor shaft body 11, and bringing the heat to the outside of the motor as the air flows in the air channel P.

[0071] The circumferential surface of the air pipe 12 may be provided with reinforcing ribs 124, which may be annular. For example, the outer circumferential surface of the air pipe 12 may be provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 124, which may be arranged at intervals along the axial direction A of the air pipe 12. The reinforcing ribs 124 may enhance the supporting rigidity of the air pipe 12 and prevent the air pipe 12 from deforming during operation. The reinforcing ribs 124 provided on the outer circumferential surface of the air pipe 12 define gaps between the outer circumferential surface of the air pipe 12 and the inner circumferential surface of the rotor shaft body 11, so that air can flow through these gaps, which is conducive to heat dissipation through airflow.

[0072] There may be a plurality of through holes 125 between adjacent reinforcing ribs 124, so that airflow can enter and exit through the through holes 125 to take away heat. The air pipe 12 and the rotor shaft body 11 can transfer heat through airflow without requiring large-area contact heat transfer, so that there is no need to perform large-area machining on the inner surface of the rotor shaft body 11. The air pipe 12 may be made of plastic, so that the air pipe 12 is light in weight and low in cost. Of course, the air pipe may be made of metal.

[0073] The electric bridge drive system of the above embodiment has at least one of the following advantageous effects.

[0074] (1) Air flows through the inside of the rotor shaft. The rotor shaft of the motor rotor with a large heat generation is in direct contact with the air to dissipate heat, which can achieve better cooling effect on the rotor shaft and the motor rotor.

[0075] (2) The air passage is located in the hollow rotor shaft, making full use of the internal space of the air-cooled motor or the electric bridge drive system, making the overall size of the air-cooled motor or the electric bridge drive system smaller and facilitating the layout of the vehicle space.

[0076] (3) Foreign matter will not enter the motor through the air passage, especially the space between the rotor shaft and the housing 4, and will not affect the rotor, coil, etc. of the motor, thus ensuring the electrical safety of the motor. Of course, foreign matter will not enter the gearbox 200, and will not affect the operation of the gears.

[0077] (4) The air pipe has a simple structure, is easy to process and install, and has a low cost.

[0078] The present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications to the above embodiments of the present application under the guidance of the present application without departing from the scope of the present application. In addition, the following description is also made.

[0080] (2) The blades are not limited to inclined walls. The blades can generate axial airflow when rotating. The airflow generated by the blades can also flow unidirectionally along the axial direction.

[0081] (3) The air pipe 12 is not limited to being formed by combining two half pipes, but may also be connected or integrally formed in other ways. For example, the pipe body (or pipe wall portion) of the air pipe 12 may be formed separately from the blades or the inclined wall and then assembled together.

[0082] (4) The concepts, structures or features of the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to air-cooled motors, especially air-cooled motors including a speed change mechanism. The output shaft of the speed change mechanism can be offset relative to the rotor shaft of the motor, that is, the output shaft of the speed change mechanism can be arranged parallel to the rotor shaft of the motor but not coaxially (coaxially). Of course, the present application is not limited to this.

[0083] (5) It can be understood that in the electric bridge drive system of the present application, the motor and the gearbox can be separated by a structure such as a partition wall, and the gearbox can be cooled by a coolant such as oil.

[0084] (6) In the electric axle drive system of the present application, the air duct and the blades or inclined walls can be mainly arranged in the motor housing without extending to the gearbox.

[0085] The diameter of the portion of the motor shaft located in the gearbox may be smaller than the diameter of the portion of the motor shaft located in the motor housing as a whole. Thus, the diameter of the portion of the motor shaft located in the gearbox may be smaller, which is beneficial to miniaturization.
