Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of gears for new energy vehicles, and in particular relates to a gear transmission mechanism for new energy vehicles. Background Art
[0002] In the transmission system of new energy vehicle gearbox, gear transmission is the key component to achieve power transmission and speed change. In order to ensure the normal operation of gears and extend their service life, lubrication is a very important link. Traditional automotive gearbox lubrication methods mainly include oil bath lubrication, oil spray lubrication and oil drip lubrication. Although these methods can meet the lubrication needs of gears to a certain extent, there are still some obvious disadvantages.
[0003] 1. Complex structure: Existing automotive transmission lubrication systems usually require complex structures to ensure that the lubricating oil can be evenly distributed to each gear surface. For example, the design and arrangement of components such as oil pumps, oil channels, and nozzles increase the complexity of the system. This complexity not only increases manufacturing costs, but also increases the difficulty of maintenance and repair. In addition, complex structures may also lead to reduced system reliability and prone to failure.
[0004] 2. Large amount of oil required: Traditional lubrication methods usually require a large amount of lubricating oil to ensure the lubrication effect of the gears. This not only increases the operating cost, but may also lead to waste of lubricating oil. Excessive lubricating oil will also increase the friction loss of the system and reduce the transmission efficiency. Especially under long-term operation and high-load conditions, the consumption of lubricating oil is more significant.
[0005] In summary, the existing gear lubrication technology in the transmission structure of automobile gearboxes has obvious deficiencies in terms of structural complexity and lubricant consumption. Therefore, a new lubrication technology is urgently needed to solve these problems and improve the overall performance and service life of the gear transmission system. Summary of the invention

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , a gear transmission mechanism for a new energy vehicle, comprising a meshing first gear 100 and a second gear 200. The first gear 100 is provided with a plurality of first oil chambers 110 in an annular arrangement, and the first oil chamber 110 is provided with a first oil inlet hole 111 and a first oil outlet hole 112, and the first oil outlet hole 112 is located on the side of the first gear 100, and at least part of the first oil chamber 110 of the first gear 100 is immersed in oil. A pressure assembly is assembled in the first oil chamber 110, and the pressure assembly is used to pressurize the oil entering the first oil chamber 110 so that it flows out from the first oil outlet hole 112. The second gear 200 is provided with a plurality of second oil chambers 210 in an annular arrangement, and the second oil chamber 210 is provided with a second oil hole 211, and the second oil hole 211 is used to enter oil when docking with the first oil outlet hole 112 and to discharge oil at other times. The second oil hole 211 is located on the side of the second gear 200 and corresponds to the first oil outlet hole 112. The second oil chamber 210 is provided with an oil storage block 220, which is used to absorb and store the oil delivered by the first gear 100 and then deliver the oil to the surface of the second gear 200 through the second oil hole 211 under the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the second gear 200. This design allows the second gear 200 to obtain sufficient lubrication even if it is not directly immersed in the oil.
[0031] The first oil chamber 110 is a fan-shaped chamber, and the pressure assembly includes a pressure plate 120. A torsion spring shaft 121 is mounted on the pressure plate 120. The torsion spring shaft 121 is mounted at the center of the circle of the fan-shaped chamber, and the side of the pressure plate 120 abuts against the inner wall of the first oil chamber 110. The fan-shaped chamber includes a first radius surface and a second radius surface, and the extension line of the second radius surface passes through the axis of the gear. In a stationary state, the pressure plate 120 abuts against the first radius surface under the action of the torsion spring. This design enables the pressure plate 120 to rotate by centrifugal force when the gear accelerates, exerting pressure on the oil in the first oil chamber 110, thereby effectively squeezing the oil out of the first oil outlet 112.
[0032] In addition, the first oil outlet hole 112 is located on the extension line of the second radius surface. This design ensures that the oil can flow out of the first oil outlet hole 112 smoothly regardless of the state of the pressure plate 120. The first oil inlet hole 111 is located on the axial end face of the first gear 100 and passes through the first gear 100. This design facilitates the entry of oil into the first oil chamber 110 from the outside, simplifies the oil circuit structure, and improves the convenience and efficiency of oil replenishment. At least the side portion of the pressure plate 120 is made of a soft rubber material. The soft rubber material can better fit the inner wall of the first oil chamber 110, reducing the possibility of leakage, and can produce appropriate deformation under pressure to improve the sealing and lubrication effects.
[0033] In order to reduce the manufacturing requirements of production, the first gear 100 is assembled by the first half body 130 and the second half body 140, and the second gear 200 is assembled by the third half body 240 and the fourth half body 250. The first half body 130, the second half body 140, the third half body 240 and the fourth half body 250 are all provided with assembly holes 101 for assembly, and the assembly holes 101 are distributed around the first oil chamber 110 or the second oil chamber 210. The split design is convenient for manufacturing and assembly, and the distribution of the assembly holes 101 ensures the sealing of the first oil chamber 110 and the second oil chamber 210. In addition, the second gear 200 is annularly provided with through weight-reducing holes 230. The design of the weight-reducing holes 230 reduces the weight of the gear and reduces the moment of inertia, thereby improving the response speed and transmission efficiency of the gear, while reducing energy consumption.
[0034] In the present application, the oil storage block 220 in the second oil chamber 210 includes a plurality of oil absorption layers distributed in the radial direction, and the oil absorption capacity of the plurality of oil absorption layers decreases in sequence from the inside to the outside in the radial direction. This design allows the oil to be more distributed at the bottom of the second oil chamber 210, reduces the oil pressure at the second oil hole 211, and makes it easier for the oil flowing out of the first oil chamber 110 to enter the second oil chamber 210, while ensuring that when the second oil chamber 210 is not connected to the first oil chamber 110, the oil can flow out smoothly under the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the second gear 200.
[0035] As another embodiment, the first oil chamber 110 is also equipped with an oil storage block 220. The oil storage block 220 is used to store oil to prevent the oil from being squeezed out in a short time, ensuring that the first gear 100 can still provide sufficient oil under long-term operation or high-load conditions, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the system. At the same time, the oil storage block 220 also has a filtering function, which can filter impurities in the oil entering the oil chamber to prevent impurities from damaging the gear teeth and tooth groove surfaces when the gears are meshed and transmitted.
[0036] The technical solution described in this application can be widely used in various transmission components of automobiles that use gear transmission. For example, in a multi-stage gearbox of a new energy vehicle, the gear transmission mechanism needs to shift gears frequently. The centrifugal force generated by the frequent gear shifting is used in conjunction with the pressure assembly of the pressure assembly of the first gear 100 and the oil storage block 220 of the second gear 200 to ensure that the gear surface can be fully lubricated even under high-speed operation and high load, thereby reducing wear and friction losses.
[0037] The protection scope of the present invention includes but is not limited to the above embodiments. The protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the claims. Any replacement, deformation, and improvement of the technology that can be easily thought of by technicians in this field shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
