[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions 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.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a sleeve-type electromagnetic clutch according to an embodiment of one aspect of the present application includes an input component, an output component, a transmission component and a drive structure 400 .

[0036] Specifically, the input assembly includes an input shaft 110 and a first input gear 120 and a second input gear 130 matched with the input shaft 110; the output assembly includes an output shaft 210, and the output shaft 210 is arranged on one side of the input shaft 110; the transmission assembly includes a first gear 310, a second gear 320, a torque transmission gear shaft 330, a first gear sleeve 340 and a second gear sleeve 350, the first gear 310 and the second gear 320 are arranged at intervals on the output shaft 210, and the first gear 310 and the second gear 320 are arranged at intervals on the output shaft 210. The first input gear 120 is meshed, and the second gear 320 is meshed with the second input gear 130; the first gear sleeve 340 is fixedly connected to the first gear 310; the second gear sleeve 350 is fixedly connected to the second gear 320; the torque transmission gear shaft 330 is sleeved on the output shaft 210 and is located between the first gear 310 and the second gear 320, and the torque transmission gear shaft 330 can move relatively along the axial direction of the output shaft 210, and the driving structure 400 is used to drive the torque transmission gear shaft 330 to move along the axial direction of the output shaft 210. Among them, the first gear sleeve 340 has a first bite portion, the second gear sleeve 350 has a second bite portion, and the torque transmission gear shaft 330 has a first combination portion and a second combination portion, the first combination portion is used to cooperate with the first bite portion, and the second combination portion is used to cooperate with the second bite portion.

[0037] In the sleeve type electromagnetic clutch provided in the embodiment of the present application, by changing the relative position of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 and the output shaft 210, the first joint portion of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 can be matched with the first bite portion of the first gear sleeve 340, or the second joint portion of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 can be matched with the second bite portion of the second gear sleeve 350, or the first joint portion and the first bite portion are staggered and the second joint portion and the second bite portion are staggered. In this way, the shift control of three gears can be realized, namely "neutral", "first gear" and "second gear", and the switching of the three gears can be completed, so that the speed and torque range of the power device output is larger and the application range is wider.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the torque transmission gear shaft 330 has a first working position, a second working position and a third working position along the axial direction of the output shaft 210. Specifically, when the torque transmission gear shaft 330 is in the first working position, the first combination portion cooperates with the first bite portion; when the torque transmission gear shaft 330 is in the second working position, the second combination portion cooperates with the second bite portion; when the torque transmission gear shaft 330 is in the third working position, the first combination portion is staggered with the first bite portion, and the second combination portion is staggered with the second bite portion.

[0039] It is worth understanding that when the torque transmission gear shaft 330 is in the first working position, see Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the electromagnetic clutch is in the first gear. At this time, the input shaft 110 transmits power to the first gear 310 through the first input gear 120, and then the first gear 310 drives the first gear sleeve 340 to rotate around the output shaft 210. In this process, since the first coupling portion of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 cooperates with the first engaging portion of the first gear sleeve 340, the first gear sleeve 340 can drive the torque transmission gear shaft 330 to rotate, and the torque transmission gear shaft 330 and the output shaft 210 are relatively fixed in the circumferential direction, thereby driving the output shaft 210 to rotate.

[0040] Similarly, when the torque transmission gear shaft 330 is in the second working position, see Figure 2 and Figure 8 , the electromagnetic clutch is in the second gear. At this time, the input shaft 110 transmits power to the second gear 320 through the second input gear 130, and then the second gear 320 drives the second gear sleeve 350 to rotate around the output shaft 210, and the second gear sleeve 350 can drive the torque transmission gear shaft 330 and the output shaft 210 to rotate.

[0041] When the torque transmission gear shaft 330 is in the third working position, Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the electromagnetic clutch is in neutral, at this time, the first gear 310 and the second gear 320 are both idling, and the first gear 310 and the second gear 320 cannot drive the output shaft 210 to rotate.

[0042] It should be noted that the output shaft 210 can be directly connected to the outside to provide a rotational driving force; the output shaft 210 can also be connected to other components through gears or other transmission structures to provide power, which is not limited here.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transmission assembly includes a gear shaft sleeve 360, which is sleeved on the output shaft 210 and fixedly connected to the output shaft 210. The gear shaft sleeve 360 ​​is located between the first gear 310 and the second gear 320. The outer wall of the gear shaft sleeve 360 ​​is provided with at least one slide groove 361 extending along the axial direction of the output shaft 210, and the torque transmission gear shaft 330 has a matching portion slidably connected with the slide groove 361. Among them, the matching portion of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 matches the slide groove 361, and the matching portion can slide along the slide groove 361, so that the relative position of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 with the gear shaft sleeve 360 ​​can be changed in the axial direction of the output shaft 210. At the same time, the matching portion cooperates with the slide groove 361 to limit the rotation of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 relative to the gear shaft sleeve 360, so that the torque transmission gear shaft 330 and the gear shaft sleeve 360 ​​can rotate synchronously in the circumferential direction, that is, the torque transmission gear shaft 330 can drive the gear shaft sleeve 360 ​​to rotate synchronously.

[0044] In a possible implementation, there are multiple slide grooves 361, which are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the gear sleeve 360, and correspondingly, the torque transmission gear shaft 330 is provided with a matching portion at a position corresponding to each slide groove 361. In this way, the force of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 can be uniformly applied to the circumferential direction of the gear sleeve 360.

[0045] In this embodiment, the slide groove 361 is specifically a spline groove, and the matching portion matches the spline groove.

[0046] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The right end of the gear shaft sleeve 360 ​​is provided with a retaining spring slot, and the second retaining spring 382 is installed on the retaining spring slot to limit the right end of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 and prevent it from falling off.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first combination part and the second combination part present a tooth row structure arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the torque transmission gear shaft 330. The first combination part is the first tooth row, and the second combination part is the second tooth row. Correspondingly, the first bite part is a tooth ring matching the first tooth row, and the second bite part is a tooth ring matching the second tooth row.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the first tooth row can be one or more. When there are multiple first tooth rows, the multiple first tooth rows are arranged at intervals. The gap between two adjacent first tooth rows can accommodate the first bite portion.

[0049] In a possible embodiment, the first engaging portion includes one or more third tooth rows for cooperating with the first tooth row. When there are multiple third tooth rows, the third tooth rows are arranged at intervals, and the interval between two adjacent third tooth rows can accommodate the first tooth row, so as to avoid interference between the first tooth row and the third tooth row in neutral gear.

[0050] Similarly, there may be one or more second tooth rows. When there are multiple second tooth rows, the multiple second tooth rows are arranged at intervals. The gap between two adjacent second tooth rows can accommodate the second bite portion.

[0051] In a possible implementation, the second engaging portion includes one or more fourth tooth rows, and the fourth tooth rows are used to engage with the second tooth rows.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figures 2 to 5The driving structure 400 includes a push ring assembly and an electromagnetic coil assembly. The push ring assembly includes an inner ring 421 and an outer ring 422. The inner ring 421 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the torque transmission gear shaft 330, and the outer ring 422 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the inner ring 421. Among them, the inner ring 421 is made of magnetic isolation material, and the outer ring 422 is made of magnetic conductive material. The electromagnetic coil assembly is used to drive the outer ring 422 to move axially along the output shaft 210. In practical applications, by changing the magnitude of the current passed through the electromagnetic coil assembly, the magnitude of the electromagnetic force exerted on the outer ring 422 can be changed, thereby driving the torque transmission gear shaft 330 to move axially along the output shaft 210. It is worth understanding that by changing the direction of the current passed through the electromagnetic coil assembly, the force direction of the outer ring 422 can be changed, thereby changing the movement direction of the torque transmission gear shaft 330.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transmission assembly includes a distance ring 371, a spring 372 and a ball plunger 373. The end of the gear sleeve 360 ​​close to the second gear 320 has a limiting portion 362. The spring 372 is sleeved on the gear sleeve 360. One end of the spring 372 abuts against the limiting portion 362. The other end of the spring 372 is connected to the distance ring 371. The distance ring 371 is fixedly connected to the torque transmission gear shaft 330. The ball plunger 373 is installed on the distance ring 371. The outer wall of the gear sleeve 360 ​​is provided with a groove, which is used to cooperate with the ball plunger 373 to achieve a limiting effect.

[0054] In practical applications, by changing the current passed through the electromagnetic coil assembly, the electromagnetic force on the outer ring 422 can be changed, thereby changing the compression degree of the spring 372, thereby changing the relative position of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 in the axial direction of the output shaft 210.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 2 A stepped groove is provided on one side of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 near the gear shaft sleeve 360, and an activity space is enclosed by the outer wall of the gear shaft sleeve 360 ​​and the stepped groove, and the spring 372 is arranged in the activity space. The spring 372 can move telescopically in the activity space. That is, in the axial direction of the output shaft 210, the spring 372 partially overlaps with the torque transmission gear shaft 330, so that the volume of the electromagnetic clutch in the axial direction of the output shaft 210 can be reduced.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The electromagnetic coil assembly includes a shell 411, a coil 413 and a cover plate 412. The shell 411 has a groove with an opening at one end. The coil 413 is arranged in the groove. The cover plate 412 is installed at the opening of the shell 411.

[0057] In the above embodiments, see Figure 4 The shell 411 , the coil 413 and the cover plate 412 are all in a ring shape, and the three constitute a ring-shaped electromagnetic coil assembly, which is sleeved on the outer circumference of the outer ring 422 .

[0058] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 A retaining spring slot is provided at the right end of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 , and a first retaining spring 381 is installed on the retaining spring slot to fix the push ring assembly on the torque transmission gear shaft 330 .

[0059] Furthermore, the coil 413 is made of an enameled wire, and a layer of winding cloth 414 is wound around the surface of the enameled wire, and the winding cloth 414 includes an insulating cloth.

[0060] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic coil assembly includes a curing glue 415, and the curing glue 415 fixes the coil 413 and the automotive wiring harness connector wire in the groove of the housing 411. The end cover is placed in the groove of the housing 411 and fixed by pressing the housing 411. During assembly, the drive structure 400 includes an intermediate plate 430, and the intermediate plate 430 has a hollow area. The coil assembly is installed on the intermediate plate 430 as a whole, and the electromagnetic coil assembly is fixed with bolts to prevent the overall movement, thereby ensuring that the electromagnetic clutch is not damaged by shaking before being loaded into the vehicle box and during transportation.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the electromagnetic clutch further includes a position sensor, and the position sensor is used to detect the state of the clutch.

[0062] Another aspect of the present application is disclosed in an embodiment of a vehicle, including the shaft sleeve type electromagnetic clutch as described above, having all the technical effects of the shaft sleeve type electromagnetic clutch as described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0063] The following describes the sleeve type electromagnetic clutch of the embodiment of the present application in detail with specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments are only exemplary descriptions and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application.

[0064] See also Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, after the vehicle is powered on for self-test, the clutch state is detected by the position sensor. When the electromagnetic coil assembly is powered off, only the spring force of the spring 372 acts on the distance ring 371, and pushes the distance ring 371 to make the ball plunger 373 break through the groove force on the gear sleeve 360, so that it is pushed to the right out of the groove position. At this time, the torque transmission gear shaft 330 is in the middle position, and the left and right ends of the torque transmission gear shaft 330 are not combined with the first gear sleeve 340 or the second gear sleeve 350, so as to realize the neutral control of the clutch.

[0065] See also Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, when a small current is passed through the electromagnetic coil assembly, an electromagnetic force is generated to move the push ring assembly to the left, pushing the torque transmission gear shaft 330 and the distance ring 371 to move to the left. At this time, the electromagnetic force is almost equal to the load of the spring 372, and the spring 372 is slightly compressed, and the ball plunger 373 moves axially to the left and slides into the slot to achieve the limit function. At this time, the torque transmission gear shaft 330 is combined with the first gear sleeve 340, and the power is transmitted through the input shaft 110 and the first gear 310 to achieve the first gear control of the clutch.

[0066] See also Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, when a large current is passed through the electromagnetic coil assembly, an electromagnetic force is generated to cause the push ring assembly to move axially to the left, pushing the torque transmission gear shaft 330 and the distance ring 371 to move axially to the left. At this time, the electromagnetic force is much greater than the load of the spring 372, and the spring 372 is greatly compressed, and the ball plunger 373 also overcomes the movement to the left and slides out of the slot. At this time, the torque transmission gear shaft 330 is combined with the second gear sleeve 350, and power is transmitted through the input shaft 110 and the second gear 320 to realize the second gear control of the clutch.
