[0051] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 4 Embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a drive-brake integrated gearbox, the gearbox having a gearbox housing 110, a gear set 130 being arranged inside the gearbox housing 110, an input end of the gear set 130 being connected to an input shaft 120, the input shaft 120 extending out of the gearbox housing 110 to connect to a motor 600, an output end of the gear set 130 being connected to a core shaft 200, the core shaft 200 being also an axle, and both ends of the axle being connected to wheel pairs.

[0053] The improvement of this embodiment is that an inertia mechanism 300 is provided on the gear box. The inertia mechanism 300 is connected to the gear set 130 and can rotate with the gear set 130 . The torque of the gear set 130 is then transmitted to the inertia mechanism 300 .

[0054] In this embodiment, a braking device 400 is provided on one side of the inertia mechanism 300 . The braking device 400 is connected to the inertia mechanism 300 . The braking device 400 can brake the inertia mechanism 300 . The braking force is transmitted to the gear set 130 and the spindle 200 through the inertia mechanism 300 , thereby achieving braking of the gear set 130 and the spindle 200 .

[0055] In this embodiment, the inert mechanism 300 is a transmission device. The inert mechanism 300 has a connecting end and a braking end. The connecting end is connected to the gear set 130 and is used to transmit the torque between the gear set 130 and the inert mechanism 300. The braking end is installed with a braking device 400. When the braking device 400 works, the braking force is applied to the braking end of the inert mechanism 300. The inert mechanism 300 is braked and transmitted to the gear set 130. The gear set 130 transmits the braking force to the core shaft 200, thereby achieving braking of the core shaft 200.

[0056] The drive-brake integrated gearbox provided by the present invention adds an inert mechanism 300 and a braking device 400 to the gearbox; the inert mechanism 300 is connected to the gear set 130 and can rotate with the gear set 130; the braking device 400 is connected to the inert mechanism 300; the braking device 400 is used to apply a braking force to the inert mechanism 300 to brake the gear set 130 and the core shaft 200, thereby realizing the braking function of the gearbox and integrating the drive and braking of the gearbox. There is no need to install brakes at other locations of the vehicle system, which reduces the cost of installing a separate braking system. At the same time, the vehicle drive system is more integrated, avoiding the separate brake occupying the bogie space, which is conducive to realizing the lightweight design of the vehicle.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the inert mechanism 300 is an inert gear shaft, and the inert gear shaft has an inert gear 310 and an inert shaft 320 connected to each other, and the connecting end is the gear teeth of the inert gear 310, and the gear teeth are meshed with the gear set 130 to achieve the transmission of the rotational force or braking force between the gear set 130 and the inert mechanism 300. The braking end is provided at one end of the inert shaft 320, and the braking device 400 brakes the inert mechanism 300 from one end of the inert shaft 320.

[0058] Of course, the braking end of the inertial mechanism 300 may not be arranged at the end, but may be a certain position on the shaft. The braking device 400 is installed at this position to brake this position of the idle shaft 320 when braking is needed.

[0059] In one embodiment, the brake device 400 is a disc brake.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, the disc brake includes a brake housing 410, a fixed disc 420, a movable disc 430 and a control valve 440. The brake housing 410 is fixedly mounted on the gear box, and the movable disc 430 is connected to the idle shaft 320 and rotates with the idle shaft 320. The fixed disc 420 is installed in the brake housing 410, and the fixed disc 420 and the movable disc 430 are both perpendicular to the axial direction of the idle shaft 320. The control valve 440 is installed on one side of the fixed disc 420, and the control valve 440 is used to push the fixed disc 420 to rub against the movable disc 430 to achieve braking.

[0061] In one embodiment, the fixed plate 420 can move in the brake housing 410 along the axial direction of the idle shaft 320 to ensure that the fixed plate 420 is pushed by the control valve 440 to rub against the movable plate 430 to generate braking force.

[0062] Preferably, the disc brake has multiple groups of fixed discs 420 and multiple groups of movable discs 430, and the fixed discs 420 and movable discs 430 are staggered to improve the braking effect.

[0063] In one embodiment, the control valve 440 can be a thrust mechanism, the pushing direction of the thrust mechanism is parallel to the axial direction of the idle shaft 320, and the thrust mechanism can extend to push the fixed plate 420 to rub against the moving plate 430 to achieve braking.

[0064] like Figure 3 As described, in one embodiment, a shaft disc seat 431 is provided at one end of the idle shaft 320, and the moving disc 430 is provided on the peripheral wall of the shaft disc seat 431, so that the braking device 400 can be provided at the end of the idle shaft 320, which facilitates the installation of the braking device 400.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, the shaft disc seat 431 is a disc-shaped structure, and a plurality of moving discs 430 are fixedly arranged on the circumference of the shaft disc seat 431 . A connecting hole is provided at the center of the shaft disc seat 431 , and the connecting hole is used to install the connecting piece 432 .

[0066] like Figure 3 As described above, the shaft disc seat 431 is connected to the end of the idle shaft 320 by inserting the connecting piece 432 into the connecting hole, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the shaft disc seat 431 and the idle shaft 320 .

[0067] Furthermore, the connecting end face of the shaft disc seat 431 is a conical surface, and the end face of the idle shaft 320 is also a corresponding conical surface. The shaft disc seat 431 and the idle shaft 320 are matched in taper. Of course, the shaft disc seat 431 and the idle shaft 320 can also be connected through end face teeth.

[0068] In one embodiment, the shaft disc seat 431 may not be provided, and a plurality of fixed discs 420 may be fixedly disposed on the peripheral wall of the idle shaft 320 , and the idle shaft 320 and the fixed discs 420 may be directly surrounded by a disc brake.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a mounting seat 330 is provided on one side of the gearbox housing 110 , a bearing 340 is provided in the mounting seat 330 , and the idle shaft 320 is installed on the bearing 340 to ensure stable rotation of the idle shaft 320 .

[0070] One end of the brake housing 410 may be connected and fixed to the mounting base 330 , or may be connected and fixed to the gear box housing 110 , or may be connected to both at the same time, to ensure that the brake device 400 is installed stably.

[0071] In this embodiment, the gear set 130 includes a driving gear 131 and a driven gear 132. The driving gear 131 is connected to the input shaft 120, the driven gear 132 is connected to the spindle 200, and the idler gear 310 is meshed with the driven gear 132. Figure 1 As shown, the motor 600 is connected to the input shaft 120 through the coupling 610, driving the input shaft 120 and the driving gear 131 to rotate, and the driving gear 131 drives the driven gear 132 and the core shaft 200 to rotate, so that the idle gear 310 and the idle shaft 320 rotate accordingly, and braking the idle shaft 320 also achieves braking of the core shaft 200.

[0072] It is worth noting that the inertial mechanism 300 of this embodiment is not limited to the inertial gear shaft, but may also be other shaft discs connected to the gear set 130. Braking the shaft disc can also realize the drive and brake integration of the gear box.

[0073] Likewise, the brake device 400 is not limited to a disc brake, but may also be a brake caliper, etc. The brake caliper clamps the shaft disc through a control system to achieve drive and braking integration of the gearbox.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a sleeve 500 is disposed outside the core shaft 200, and the sleeve 500 is connected to the gear box housing 110. The motor 600 is mounted on the sleeve 500. The inertia mechanism 300 is disposed on a side of the sleeve 500 relatively far from the motor 600, so that the motor 600 and the inertia mechanism 300 are respectively located on both sides of the sleeve 500, ensuring that the sleeve 500 is subjected to balanced force.

[0075] In this embodiment, the inertia mechanism 300 is disposed on one side of the gear box, and the braking device 400 is installed on one side of the inertia mechanism 300 for easy maintenance.

[0076] Of course, the inertia mechanism 300 and the braking device 400 can also be arranged inside the gear box to simplify the external structure.

[0077] In one embodiment, the inertia mechanism 300 and the braking device 400 may be disposed on a side of the sleeve 500 relatively close to the motor 600 to fully utilize the space around the sleeve 500 and optimize the space on the other side of the sleeve 500 .

[0078] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a bogie, which has a frame, a shaft sleeve 500 is provided on the frame, and a core shaft 200 is provided in the shaft sleeve 500; wheels are arranged at both ends of the core shaft 200; the bogie has a drive and brake integrated gear box as described above, and the gear box connects the shaft sleeve 500 and the frame.

[0079] Furthermore, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a drive system, which includes a motor 600 and a bogie as described above; the motor 600 is installed on the bogie, the output end of the motor 600 is connected to the gearbox through the input shaft 120, and the output end of the gearbox is connected to the wheelset through the core shaft 200.

[0080] Specifically, the sleeve 500 is arranged on the bogie, the spindle 200 is arranged in the sleeve 500, the wheels are arranged at both ends of the spindle 200, and the motor 600 is installed on the sleeve 500. The gear box is connected to the sleeve 500, the input end of the gear box is connected to the motor 600 through the input shaft 120, and the output end of the gear box is connected to the wheels through the spindle 200.

[0081] The gearbox of the drive system realizes the integration of braking and driving, so the bogie and drive system do not need to install independent braking devices, which saves the cost of installing a separate braking device, optimizes the bogie space, and is conducive to the lightweight design of rail vehicles.

[0082] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a rail vehicle, wherein the driving system as described above is arranged below or above the body of the rail vehicle. Therefore, the rail vehicle also has all the above advantages, which will not be described in detail here.

[0083] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
