Description

[0002] The wheel hub motor technology is also known as the in-wheel motor technology. Its biggest feature is that the power, transmission and braking devices are integrated into the wheel hub, thus greatly simplifying the mechanical part of the electric vehicle. The wheel hub motor technology is not a new thing. As early as 1900, electric vehicles equipped with wheel hub motors on the front wheels were manufactured. In the 1970s, this technology was applied in fields such as mining transport vehicles. As for the wheel hub motors used in passenger cars, Japanese manufacturers started the research and development of this technology earlier and are currently in a leading position. International auto giants including General Motors and Toyota have also been involved in this technology. For traditional vehicles, clutches, transmissions, drive shafts, differentials and even transfer cases are indispensable. These components are not only heavy and make the structure of the vehicle more complicated, but also require regular maintenance and have a high failure rate. However, the wheel hub motor solves this problem very well. In addition to a simpler structure, vehicles driven by wheel hub motors can achieve better space utilization and much higher transmission efficiency.

[0003] In the prior art, wheel hub motors have been widely used in automobiles. The wheel hub motor braking system is a series of devices that can force the car to slow down. Its main function is to slow down or even stop the moving car, keep the speed of the downhill car stable, and keep the stopped car still. According to the braking requirements, it can be divided into a service brake system and a parking brake system. However, the existing wheel hub motor service brake system and parking brake system often adopt a structure that is not only complex in structure, but also has the possibility of failure under special working conditions.
