Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wheel-side drive systems, and in particular provides an electric wheel-side steering drive system. Background Art

[0002] With the development of new energy vehicles and intelligent connected vehicles, electric wheel-side steering drive systems have attracted widespread attention as a key technology for improving vehicle handling performance and driving safety. This system uses electric motors to directly drive the wheels, achieving four-wheel independent steering, greatly improving the vehicle's steering flexibility and stability. However, during use, especially in autonomous driving scenarios, frequent fine-tuning of the steering angle is prone to occur, which can cause the steering motor to remain in a stalled / low-speed, high-torque state for a long time. This can also cause the steering reducer to generate significant heat during continuous large-angle steering (such as low-speed maneuvers or on-the-spot steering) or in high-resistance conditions (rough roads). Furthermore, due to the extremely compact wheel-side space and insufficient heat dissipation surface area, the cooling system cannot respond in a timely manner and cannot effectively remove heat, reducing the reducer's operating efficiency and reliability.

[0003] Moreover, since the wheel-side steering drive system is not protected by the vehicle body like the traditional steering system, it will be directly exposed to the impact of mud, water, salt spray, and gravel, which will directly act on the steering mechanism, thereby causing increased component fatigue and even early damage, interfering with the motor torque control, affecting the vehicle's handling accuracy and ride comfort, and seriously increasing the potential safety hazards of driving.

[0040] The floating element 83 includes a plurality of elastic flow-equalizing blades 831 and a plurality of linkage slides 832.

The middle parts of the plurality of linkage slides 832 are respectively slidably installed in the plurality of sliding adjustment grooves 821, and a trigger circular groove 833 is recessed on the inner side of each linkage slide 832. The trigger circular groove 833 is abutted on the compression fillet 812, and the outer wall of the linkage slide 832 is abutted against the inner wall of the elastic flow-equalizing blade 831.

[0041] For example, in one embodiment, the elastic conical membrane 534 is located between the support reinforcement rib 532 and the input mounting hole 533. The steering motor is installed in the vehicle frame.

[0042] For example, in one embodiment: when independent steering operation is required, the steering motor will start, thereby driving the input connecting shaft 81 to rotate, thereby causing the floating gear sleeve 82 to rotate accordingly, thereby driving the sun gear shaft 74 and the sun gear 75 to rotate accordingly, thereby causing the three planetary gears 73 to rotate accordingly, thereby causing the left half disc 62 and the right half disc 63 to rotate accordingly, thereby causing the output connecting shaft 61 to rotate accordingly, completing the power deceleration and torque increase, and driving the steering cam arm 42 to rotate, thereby pulling the steering arm 43 and the vertical shock absorber rod 44 to follow the movement, thereby pulling the steering knuckle arm 34 to follow the movement, thereby driving the wheel-side steering assembly 30 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of independently controlling the steering of all four wheels.

[0043] At the same time, when the floating gear sleeve 82 rotates, the multiple elastic flow-balancing blades 831 therein will rotate along with it, and when the left half disk 62 and the right half disk 63 rotate, the three circulation blades 632 and the three elastic guide vanes 623 will also rotate along with it, thereby accelerating the circulation of the cooling lubricating fluid in the housing assembly 50 and ensuring timely cooling of the reducer 41 during use.

[0044] For example, in one embodiment: when vibration occurs, the vibrating part of the steering reduction assembly 40 will be along the vertical shock absorber rod 44, the steering arm 43, the steering cam arm 42 and the output connecting shaft 61, and then the first buffer block 624 will be used for preliminary compression and shock absorption, and the vibration will be transmitted along the left half disc 62 and the right half disc 63 to the sun gear shaft 74 and the sun gear 75, so that the sun gear shaft 74 moves toward one end of the second buffer block 811, so that the second buffer block 811 is compressed, and the multiple linkage slides 832 move outward along the sliding adjustment groove 821, thereby pushing the multiple elastic flow-balancing blades 831 to expand outward, absorbing the impact kinetic energy while also expanding the subsequent rotational diversion, increasing the flow of cooling lubricant, and ensuring the shock absorption effect and timely cooling effect of the reducer 41 when vibration occurs.

[0045] For example, in one embodiment: when the elastic flow-evening blades 831 expand outward or when the steering motor increases its output power, causing the flow of the cooling lubricant to rise rapidly, the cooling lubricant is guided by the elastic flow-evening blades 831 to impact the elastic conical membrane 534, causing the elastic conical membrane 534 to bend and deform toward the inner wall of the conical cavity 531. At the same time, the outer end of the elastic conical membrane 534 slides toward the outer end along the sealing connection ring 513, exposing multiple connecting grooves 514. Since the elastic conical membrane 534 bends and deforms in accordance with the inner wall of the conical cavity 531, the cooling lubricant in the conical cavity 531 is squeezed out. Since the three circulation blades 632 are rotatably disposed in the temporary annular groove 515, the cooling lubricant is rapidly heat exchanged, ensuring a rapid cooling level.
