[0002] Manned lunar rover is an important part of manned lunar landing and an important tool for astronauts to explore, sample, conduct scientific experiments and other activities on the lunar surface. Existing manned lunar rovers generally use four-wheel motor drive. This method can effectively reduce the volume and mass of the transmission system and improve the driving efficiency by integrating electric motors in the wheels. However, the four-wheel motor drive system also has certain risks. Motor failure will lead to the loss of power of the corresponding wheels, which is easy to cause the vehicle to fall or skid under soft lunar soil or steep slope conditions; the probability of simultaneous failure of multiple motors increases significantly under extreme conditions such as motor overheating, lunar dust intrusion, and meteorite impact; the energy consumption of the four motors is too large when running at full power, which limits the continuous operation time on the lunar surface. Due to the complex driving environment of the lunar rover, if a motor failure occurs, the driving ability and safety of the entire vehicle will be seriously affected.

The driven bevel gear 341 is fixed to the outer end of the coupling device housing 32 by bolts II 342, and the driven bevel gear 341 is meshed with the input bevel gear shaft 332, and the driving motor I1 provides power for the rotation of the coupling device housing 32; the planetary gear assembly I35 is arranged in the coupling device housing 32, and the two half-shaft bevel gears I362 are rotatably installed in the coupling device housing 32 through the half-shaft gear tapered roller bearings 361, and the rotation axes are collinear; the two half-shaft bevel gears I362 are respectively located on both sides of the planetary gear assembly I35 and are both meshed with the planetary gear assembly I35; the two half-shaft bevel gears I362 are respectively connected to the output shaft II61 of the driving motor and the input shaft of the secondary reduction device 9.

[0020] See also Figure 2As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the planetary gear assembly Ⅰ35 includes a planetary gear shaft Ⅰ353 and two planetary gears Ⅰ351, wherein the planetary gear shaft Ⅰ353 is fixed in the coupling device housing 32, and the axis of the planetary gear shaft Ⅰ353 is perpendicular to the axis of the half-shaft bevel gear Ⅰ362; the two planetary gears Ⅰ351 are rotatably mounted on both ends of the planetary gear shaft Ⅰ353 through needle bearings 354, and the backs of the two planetary gears Ⅰ351 are connected to the coupling device housing 32 through thrust ball bearings Ⅰ352; the two planetary gears Ⅰ351 are meshed with the half-shaft bevel gears Ⅰ362 on both sides.

[0021] Specifically, the thrust ball bearing I352 of the planetary gear I351 is used to bear the axial force, and convert the sliding friction between the planetary gear I351 and the coupling device housing 32 into rolling friction; the needle bearing 354 is used to bear the radial force, and convert the sliding friction between the planetary gear I351 and the planetary gear shaft I353 into rolling friction.

Therefore, the half-shaft gear tapered roller bearing 361 is installed at the contact point between the half-shaft bevel gear I362 and the coupling device housing 32, which can not only support the spline shaft but also convert the sliding friction into rolling friction.

[0022] The planetary gear shaft of the traditional differential is a smooth shaft, and sliding friction will occur when the planetary gear rotates relative to the shaft. In order to avoid severe friction under the influence of the speed difference, the present invention installs a K-type needle roller bearing 354 on the planetary gear shaft I 353.

[0023] Specifically, the coupling housing 32 is made of high-strength cast iron, and the overall structure is a complex geometric shape. Precision mounting seats and bearing cavities are set inside to accommodate the internal gears and bearings, which is convenient for assembly and maintenance. Reinforcement ribs are designed at key locations, and the surface is treated with corrosion-resistant coating to increase service life. Heat dissipation requirements are taken into account during the design process to ensure that the differential works normally under high load and high temperature conditions.

[0024] In an embodiment of the present invention, the differential speed coupling device 3 is used to smoothly couple the driving speeds of the drive motor I1 and the drive motor II7, so that the output speeds of the drive motor I1 and the drive motor II7 are linearly superimposed as needed. Considering the compactness and stability of the structure, the input bevel gear shaft 332 adopts a cantilever double-bearing fixed support. The differential speed coupling device 3 can not only accurately synchronize the speeds of the two drive motors, but also has an efficient energy transfer function, reduces energy loss, and improves the efficiency of the overall system.

[0031] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electromagnetic brake I2 and the electromagnetic brake II6 have the same structure, both of which include a brake housing 62 and an elastic guide assembly, an electromagnet 64, an armature 66 and a brake disc 67 installed in the brake housing 62, wherein the brake housing 62 is rotatably installed on the drive motor output shaft I21 or the drive motor output shaft II61 through a deep groove ball bearing II5, and one end of the brake housing 62 is fixedly connected to the housing of the drive motor I1 or the drive motor II7 by a bolt VI71, and an adjustment gasket 68 is provided between the brake housing 62 and the housing of the drive motor I1 or the drive motor II7, and the adjustment gasket 68 is used to adjust the gap between the drive motor II7 and the brake housing 62, and is fixed by a bolt VI71. The other end of the brake housing 62 is connected to the housing 4 by a hexagon head screw I41. The brake disc 67 is fixed on the drive motor output shaft Ⅰ21 or the drive motor output shaft Ⅱ61 through a spline shaft; the electromagnet 64 is embedded in the inner side of the brake housing 62, the armature 66 is arranged between the electromagnet 64 and the brake disc 67, and the armature 66 is connected to the brake housing 62 through an elastic guide component; when the electromagnet 64 is energized, the armature 66 is adsorbed on the electromagnet 64; when the electromagnet 64 is de-energized, the elastic guide component pushes the armature 66 to fit the brake disc 67 to achieve braking.

[0032] Specifically, the elastic guide assembly includes a plurality of armature guide shafts 63 and a plurality of springs 65 which are circumferentially arranged on the inner side of the brake housing 62, wherein the plurality of armature guide shafts 63 are located on the inner side of the electromagnet 64, the armature 66 slides with the plurality of armature guide shafts 63 through guide holes, and the plurality of springs 65 are located on the outer side of the electromagnet 64 and abut against the armature 66, and the springs 65 can push the armature 66 to move axially.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, the brake disc 67 includes a friction plate 671 and a brake disc body 672, wherein the brake disc body 672 is key-connected to the drive motor output shaft Ⅰ21 or the drive motor output shaft Ⅱ61, and the back of the brake disc body 672 is rotatably connected to the housing of the drive motor Ⅰ1 or the drive motor Ⅱ7 through a thrust ball bearing Ⅱ69, and the friction plate 671 is fixed to the front end face of the brake disc body 672 by a rivet 673.

[0034] Specifically, the electromagnetic brake is used to quickly apply braking force when a motor fails, so that the faulty motor stops rotating, thereby ensuring that the other motor can continue to provide power. The brake housing 62 is used to protect the internal components and provide structural support, and has sealing properties to prevent dust and impurities from entering the interior. The electromagnet 64 is one of the key components. Its internal coil is wound with insulated copper wire. When the coil is energized, a magnetic field is generated to attract the armature 66 to release the brake. The movable part of the armature 66 is made of soft magnetic material, and the contact with the brake disc 67 is a high friction flange located near the electromagnetic coil. When power is turned on, the magnetic force generated by the electromagnetic coil attracts the armature 66, and the armature 66 overcomes the spring force and moves, thereby releasing the brake. The function of the spring 65 is to provide a reaction force when the power is off, push the armature 66 back to the initial position, compress the brake disc 67, and generate braking force. The brake disc 67 is fixed to the motor output shaft through a spline, and the friction plate 671 needs to have a high friction coefficient and wear resistance, and is made of synthetic materials to generate friction to achieve braking.

[0035] Working principle of electromagnetic brake Ⅰ2 and electromagnetic brake Ⅱ6: When the coil of the electromagnet 64 is energized, the electromagnet 64 generates an electromagnetic force to attract the armature 66, and the armature 66 approaches the brake housing 62 through the armature guide shaft 63. When the coil of the electromagnet 64 loses power, the armature 66 is pushed toward the brake disc 67 by the spring 65 installed in the brake housing 62, and rubs against the friction plate 671 on the brake disc 67 to generate a braking force, thereby limiting the rotation of the motor output shaft. The generated axial braking force is first transmitted to the motor through the thrust ball bearing and then to the housing. The power distributor input shaft is connected to the motor shaft through the spline on the brake disc, and the deep groove ball bearing is used to support one end of the power distributor input shaft. Through this design, even if the motor fails, the electromagnetic brake can quickly take effect to ensure the safety and driving ability of the vehicle.

[0036] The present invention provides a redundant multi-power drive system based on differential speed coupling, in which both drive motors are high-efficiency permanent magnet synchronous motors of the same power, suitable for the power requirements of the lunar rover, and can be speed-coupled through a coupling device. The working state of the drive motor is adjusted in real time through the differential speed coupling device 3 to ensure the stability of power transmission.

[0037] During the power coupling process of the differential speed coupling device 3 of the present invention, the torques of the two power sources are in a certain proportional relationship with each other, the output speeds are independent of each other, and the final output synthetic speed is the linear superposition of the speeds of the two power sources. When the speed of one power source changes, the speed of the other power source will also change accordingly. Therefore, it is only necessary to fix the speed of one of the drive motors and adjust the speed of the other drive motor to achieve stepless speed change, automatically adjust the vehicle speed under different terrains, and improve sports performance.

[0038] When one of the drive motors cannot be used due to a fault, the electromagnetic brake is activated to lock the corresponding output shaft, limiting the rotation of the output shaft. The other drive motor works alone to transmit power to the wheels through the differential speed coupling device 3 and the secondary reduction device 9, thereby realizing single-motor drive.

[0039] The present invention provides a redundant multi-power drive system based on differential speed coupling. The differential speed coupling device 3 realizes speed coupling and power distribution, has single motor fault tolerance, ensures that the manned lunar rover can still drive safely even when some motors fail, and significantly improves driving safety and passability under complex lunar terrain. The present invention can effectively reduce energy loss in the transmission system, improve the transmission efficiency of the system, and ensure that the lunar rover has stronger adaptability under different terrain conditions.

[0040] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, expansion, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
