Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to motors. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic braking systems in vehicles use motors and reducers to brake the vehicle, and are lighter, more sensitive, and require less installation space than mechanical braking systems. Additionally, electric parking brakes are devices that automatically operate using actuators based on the vehicle's operating status, even when the driver is not manually operating the vehicle.
[0003] Such an electric parking brake can be configured such that the brake shoes in the wheel drum brake (DIH) are extended by the tension generated by pulling the parking cable through the rotation of the motor to ensure braking force, or the main shaft moves the piston forward through the rotation of the motor to make the disc and pad in close contact to ensure braking force.
[0004] In order to realize the function of the electric parking brake, the structure of the electric parking brake should be added to the electronic braking system. Therefore, the problem is that it requires a large installation space and the structure of related components such as the reducer is complex. Summary of the Invention

[0011] A portion of the shaft and a portion of the locking part may overlap in both the axial and radial directions.
[0012] The locking part may include a stop that moves axially and contacts the shaft, preventing the shaft from rotating.
[0013] The plate may include: a plate body that contacts a locking part; and a leg that extends from the plate body and contacts a housing, wherein the body may be spaced apart from the housing.
[0014] The housing may include a groove disposed in its inner circumferential surface; and a portion of the wire may be disposed in the groove.
[0015] The housing may include: a housing portion; and a first cover, the first cover being connected to the housing portion, wherein the groove portion may include a first groove and a second groove communicating with each other, the first groove may be disposed in the first cover, and the second groove may be disposed in the housing portion.
[0016] The motor may also include a wire retainer, wherein the wire retainer may be disposed in a second slot and the wire may be disposed in the wire retainer.

[0018] A portion of the wire retainer and the mold portion can be configured to overlap in the radial direction.
[0019] [Beneficial Effects]
[0020] According to one embodiment of the present invention, since the parking brake function is added to the electronic braking system, it has the benefit of simplifying the structure of the entire braking system.
[0021] According to one embodiment of the invention, since the motor shaft of the electric parking system is directly restricted, there is no need to provide a separate parking brake, thus having the benefit of reducing installation space and the number of parts.
[0022] According to one embodiment of the invention, since the stop is configured to overlap with the shaft in the axial direction, it has the advantage of minimizing the size of the components used to implement the parking brake function.
[0023] According to one embodiment of the invention, since the wires connected to the locking part are disposed in the housing and not exposed to the outside of the housing, there is a benefit of substantially preventing leakage problems due to the wires being exposed to the outside.

Furthermore, in the following text, the circumferential and radial directions are defined based on the motor's shaft center.
[0053] In the following text, in addition to the braking function, the motor also has a parking brake function.
[0054] Shaft 100 can be rotatably supported in the axial direction by bearings. In shaft 100, portions with different outer diameters can be separated and arranged in the axial direction.
[0055] The rotor 200 rotates by electromagnetic interaction with the stator 300. The rotor 200 may include magnets disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 100.
[0056] The stator 300 is disposed outside the rotor 200. The stator 300 may include a stator core 310, an insulator 320, and a coil 330. The insulator 320 is mounted on the stator core 310.

The coil 330 induces an electromagnetic interaction with the magnet 220 of the rotor 200.
[0057] A locking part 400 is provided in the shaft 100. The locking part 400 is a device that performs a braking function by preventing the shaft 100 from rotating when the vehicle is stopped and a signal is applied to the locking part 400. The locking part 400 is connected to the terminal part 600.
[0058] The housing 500 is located outside the stator 300.
[0059] The terminal section 600 transmits power or control signals to the locking section 400. The terminal section 600 includes a first terminal 610 and a second terminal 620. The first terminal 610 is connected to a wire 700, and the second terminal 620 is connected to the first terminal 610. In addition, the second terminal 620 is connected to an external power source.
[0060] The wire 700 is connected to the locking part 400. Furthermore, the wire 700 (see...) Figure 14 Connect to the first terminal 610. Wire 700 (see...) Figure 14It can be set in the housing 500.
[0061] Plate 800 is disposed below locking part 400. Plate 800 is fixed to housing 500. Locking part 400 can be fixed to plate 800.
[0062] The wire retainer 900 accommodates the wire 700. The wire retainer 900 can be secured to the housing 500.
[0063] The mold section 1000 can be provided on the stator 200. Alternatively, the mold section 1000 can be provided on the outside of the busbar B.
[0064] Figure 3 It is an exploded view of the locking part 400, and Figure 4 This is a side sectional view of the locking part 400.
[0065] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking part 400 may include a stop 410, a housing 420, a second column 450, a second coil 470, and a second elastic member 490.
[0066] The stop 410 may include a first portion 411 and a second portion 412. The first portion 411 is stacked on top of the second portion 412 in the axial direction. The first portion 411 is configured to move in conjunction with the movement of the second portion 412 when the second portion 412 moves. The first portion 411 includes a protrusion P. The second portion 412 electromagnetically interacts with the second coil 470 to move linearly along the inside of the second column 450.
[0067] The housing 420 may be a cylindrical member having a receiving space therein. The housing 420 may include a cover 451 that covers the open upper portion.
[0068] The second column 450 is disposed in the outer casing 420.
[0069] The second coil 470 can be disposed on one side of the second column 450 within the housing 420. The second coil 470 can be connected to the spool 470. The spool 470 is disposed on one side of the second column 450. The second coil 470 is connected to an external connector.
[0070] The second elastic member 490 is disposed axially between the inner wall of the housing 420 and the first portion 411. The second elastic member 490 may be a helical spring that has a restoring force when contracted. The first portion 411 is spaced apart from the shaft 100 due to the restoring force of the second elastic member 490.
[0071] Figure 5 This is a view showing shaft 100 and locking part 400.
[0072] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first part 411 may include a protrusion P.
[0073] As the stop 410 of the locking part 400 moves in the axial direction, the protrusion P is inserted into the groove G3 of the shaft 100, thereby the shaft 100 is restricted by the stop 410 and does not rotate.
[0074] Figure 6 This is a view showing the first part 411 of the stop 410 and the second column 450.
[0075] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first portion 411 may include a cylindrical body portion 411a and a plurality of wings 411b protruding from the outer circumferential surface of the body portion 411a. A second elastic member 490 is seated on one side surface of the wings 411b. Each of the wings 411b may include a first surface 411c disposed on another side surface. The first surface 411c is a surface in contact with a second surface 451 disposed on one end of the second column 450 or on one side surface of the second portion 412. The first surface 411c may be formed at an angle.
[0076] The second column 450 may include a cylindrical body portion 450a and a plurality of columns 450b protruding from the cylindrical body portion 450a. A gap X is formed such that the plurality of columns 450b are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. Each of the columns 450b includes a second surface 451. The second surface 451 may be inclined corresponding to the first surface 411c and is formed to form a step ST.
[0077] Figure 7 A view is shown illustrating the state in which the stop 410 moves when current is applied to the locking part 400.
[0078] like Figure 7 As shown in (a), when the vehicle is moving or stopped and there is no additional signal, no power is applied to the second coil 470, and the protrusion P is positioned spaced apart from the slot G3 due to the restoring force of the second elastic member 490. The shaft 100 is not restricted by the stop 410 and rotates due to the electromagnetic interaction between the rotor 200 and the stator 300.
[0079] like Figure 7As shown in (b), when the vehicle is parked and a signal is associated with the parking brake to apply power to the second coil 470, the second portion 412 of the stop 410 moves linearly along the second column 450 due to the electromagnetic interaction between the second coil 470 and the stop 410. The second portion 412 of the stop 410 overcomes the restoring force of the second elastic member 490 and moves linearly toward the shaft 100. When the second portion 412 moves, the first portion 411 moves toward the shaft 100 through the second portion 412 while one side surface of the second portion 412 is in contact with the first surface 411c of the first portion 411. In this case, since the surface of the second portion 412 that contacts the first surface 411c of the first portion 411 is inclined, the first portion 411 moves toward the shaft 100 while rotating. In addition, with the groove G3 aligned with the protrusion P, the protrusion P is inserted into the groove G3 of the shaft 100.
[0080] In this case, the first surface 411c of the first part 411 is aligned with the step ST of the second column 450.
[0081] Figure 8 This is a view showing the state in which shaft 100 is restricted by locking part 400.
[0082] Reference Figure 8 When no current is supplied to the second coil 470, the second portion 412 moves away from the shaft 100, and the first portion 411 moves due to the restoring force of the second elastic member 490. Therefore, the first surface 411c of the first portion 411 is caught by the step ST of the second column 450. Since the second column 450 is fixed, the first portion 411 is restricted in the rotational direction by the second column 450. Thus, with the protrusion P2 inserted into the slot G3, the shaft 100 is restricted by the first portion 411, thereby performing the parking brake function.
[0083] Since the first part 411 of the locking part 400 is locked onto the step ST, rotation of the shaft 100 is prevented even when no current is supplied to the second coil 470. Therefore, it is not necessary to continuously supply power to the locking part 400 to perform the parking brake function.
[0084] When the restriction on shaft 100 is lifted and current is applied to the second coil 470 again, the second portion 412 of the stop 410 overcomes the restoring force of the second elastic member 490, moves linearly toward shaft 100, and lifts the first portion 411, causing the first portion 411 to space away from the second column 450. In this case, the first portion 411 rotates, causing the wing 411b of the first portion 411 to align with the gap X of the second column 450. Furthermore, when the current applied to the second coil 470 stops, the first portion 411 moves downward, the protrusion P emerges from the slot G3, and the stop 410 separates from shaft 100, thereby releasing the restriction on shaft 100.
[0085] Figure 9 This is a view showing the locking part 400, the terminal part 600, the wire 700, and the plate 800.
[0086] Reference Figure 9 The locking part 400 is fixed to the housing 500. For example, the locking part 400 can be fixed to the first cover 520 of the housing 500 via a plate 800. The plate 800 is connected to the first cover 520. The outer casing 420 of the locking part 400 can be fixed to the plate 800.
[0087] The locking part 400 is connected to the wire 700. The locking part 400 can receive power and send or receive control signals through the wire 700. Since the wire 700 is connected to the bottom of the locking part 400, space is required between the housing 420 of the locking part 400 and the first cover 510 for the wire 700. A portion of the plate 800 is spaced apart from the first cover 510 to ensure space for the wire 700.
[0088] The wire 700 is guided along the first cover 510 and secured in the axial direction by the wire retainer 900. The wire retainer 900 is disposed in the axial direction.
