DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with the embodiments as follows:

[0032] The driving device with clutch function, as shown in FIG. 1-9, comprises two wheel hubs 5, a motor 3 arranged between the two wheel hubs 5 to drive the wheel hubs 5 to rotate, and a control box 2 electrically connected with the motor 3. The output end of the control box 2 is connected with the motor 3, and the input end is wirelessly connected with a remote controller. People can operate the motor 3 through the remote controller to realize the functions of forward rotation or reverse rotation, acceleration or deceleration, left rotation or right rotation, etc. of the wheel hubs 5.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a USB interface 2-1 and a switch hole 2-2 are arranged on the control box 2. The USB interface 2-1 can be used for program development and can also be used for charging a mobile phone or other electric equipment. A switch is arranged at the switch hole 2-2. The switch is connected with a controller mainboard in the control box 2. The controller mainboard can be turned on or off by operating the switch.

[0034] The control box 2 is connected with a battery 8. The battery 8 supplies power to the electric equipment such as the control box 2 and the motor 3. A reducer 7 is arranged on the output shaft 11 of the motor 3. The motor 3 and the reducer 7 are combined to form a gear motor. The motor 3 has the functions of high rotation speed and large torque. The reducer 7 uses mechanical structures with different gear ratios to effectively reduce the rotation speed of the motor 3, thereby playing the function of speed reduction and torque increase, and ensuring the low-speed and safe travel of the hand-pushed equipment such as a cart and a wheelchair.

[0035] A joint 4 connected with a frame is arranged on the shell of the reducer 7. Under the action of the control box 2, the motor 3 drives the wheel hub 5 to rotate at low speed through the reducer 7. The wheel hub 5 drives the entire frame to move safely and at low speed. The frame is connected with a push handle. The frame is moved by pushing the handle. In this way, during the travel of the frame, the wheel hub 5 is driven to rotate by the gear motor. People can only hold the handle to control the moving direction of the frame.

[0036] However, in the case that the battery 8 has insufficient power, the motor 3 cannot drive the wheel hub 5 to rotate. People need to drive the wheel hub 5 connected with the frame to rotate by pushing the handle with force. Since the wheel hub 5 is connected with the reducer 7 and the motor 3, people not only need to push the frame forward with force, but also need to overcome the large torque of the gear motor and need to control the travel direction of the frame during the pushing process. Therefore, the operator of the hand-pushed cart needs to drive the wheel hub 5 to rotate with force and overcome the large torque of the motor 3 with force while controlling the direction, which is certainly laborious. When the frame contains heavy objects, the person pushing the cart will feel more tired and exhausted.

[0037] In order to achieve the above purpose, a clutch unit is arranged between the wheel hub 5 and the speed reducer 7. When the battery 8 is insufficient, the wheel hub 5 is manually separated from the speed reducer 7, so that the wheel hub 5 is separated from the gear motor, as shown in Figures 4 and 5. During the process of manually driving the push handle, it is not necessary to overcome the large torque of the gear motor, and it is only necessary to drive the wheel hub 5 to rotate by force while controlling the direction. It can be seen that, by arranging the clutch unit, the user can flexibly select the driving mode of the wheel hub 5. In the motor driving mode, the wheel hub 5 is connected with the gear motor, and the wheel hub 5 is driven to rotate by the gear motor. In the manual driving mode, the wheel hub 5 is separated from the gear motor, and the wheel hub 5 is manually driven, which is convenient for the user to travel.

[0038] In order to facilitate the separation and connection of the wheel hub 5 and the gear motor, a clutch unit is arranged between the speed reducer 7 and the wheel hub 5. As shown in Figures 3-9, the clutch unit comprises a wheel hub connecting end 9 fixed with the wheel hub 5 and a motor connecting end 10 fixedly arranged on the output shaft 11 and connected with the speed reducer 7, and the wheel hub connecting end 9 is connected with the motor connecting end 10 in a matched manner. In the motor mode, the speed reducer 7 drives the wheel hub 5 to act through the clutch unit.

[0039] As shown in Figure 7, the middle part of the motor connecting end 10 is provided with a matching area 10-2 corresponding to the output shaft 11, the motor connecting end 10 is fixed with the output shaft 11 through the matching area 10-2, the motor connecting end 10 is clamped on the positioning clamping plate 9-4 of the wheel hub connecting end 9 and corresponds to the mounting area 9-3 in the middle part of the positioning clamping plate 9-4, the motor connecting end 10 is uniformly distributed with convex edges 10-3 in the circumferential direction, and the convex edges 10-3 are matched with the grooves 9-5 arranged on the mounting area 9-3 to clamp the wheel hub connecting end 9 and the motor connecting end 10.

[0040] The positioning clamping plate 9-4 is provided with a through hole 9-2 connected with the motor connecting end 10, the through hole 9-2 is arranged between adjacent two grooves 9-5, the through hole 9-2 corresponds to a positioning groove 10-4 arranged on the motor connecting end 10, the positioning groove 10-4 is arranged between adjacent two convex edges 10-3, a spherical positioning bolt 12 passing through the through hole 9-2 is matched with the positioning groove 10-4 to fix the wheel hub connecting end 9 and the motor connecting end 10.

One end of the spherical positioning bolt 12 connected with the positioning groove 10-4 is a spherical body provided with a spherical surface, and the spherical body is matched with the positioning groove 10-4. During the process that the gear motor drives the wheel hub 5 to rotate, the spherical body rotates in the positioning groove 10-4 to play a positioning role, and the wheel hub connecting end 9 and the motor connecting end 10 are connected together.

[0041] When the recess 9-5 is matched with the convex rib 10-3, and the spherical positioning bolt 12 passing through the through hole 9-2 is matched with the positioning groove 10-4, the hub connecting end 9 and the motor connecting end 10 are in a clamping connection state, at this time, the hub 5 and the gear motor are in a motor-driven connection state, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 8, the positioning card 9-4 is fixed with the hub cover 6 through the connecting rod 9-1, the end of the connecting rod 9-1 is provided with a threaded hole 9-6, the threaded hole 9-6 corresponds to the fixing hole 6-1 provided on the hub 6, and the hub cover 6 and the connecting rod 9-1 are fixed through the fixing bolt passing through the fixing hole 6-1 and the hole 9-6. During the driving of the gear motor, the front end of the hub connecting end 9 is fixed with the motor connecting end 10 fixed on the output shaft 11 of the motor 3 through the spherical positioning bolt 12, and the rear end is fixed with the connecting rod 9-1 and the hub cover 6 through the fixing bolt, so as to ensure that the hub 5 forms a firm connection with the gear motor through the clutch unit.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 7, the motor connecting end 10 is provided with a rotating groove 10-1 corresponding to the ball head of the spherical positioning bolt 12. When the battery 8 is insufficient, in order to avoid overcoming the large torque of the motor 3, the hub cover 6 is pulled out, the hub cover 6 drives the hub connecting end 9 to move outward, at the same time, the balls of the four spherical positioning bolts 12 move outward from the positioning groove 10-4 to the rotating groove 10-1, at this time, the recess 9-5 is separated from the convex rib 10-3, the ball of the spherical positioning bolt 12 is matched with the rotating groove 10-1, at this time, the ball in the rotating groove 10-1 plays a role of bearing, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the hub 5 is connected with the connecting rod 9-1, the ball of the spherical positioning bolt 12 is matched with the rotating groove 10-1, the recess 9-5 on the positioning card 9-4 is separated from the convex rib 10-3 on the motor connecting end 10, the hub connecting end 9 is separated from the motor connecting end 10, the positioning card 9-4 is positioned at the rotating groove 10-1, and the hub 5 is separated from the gear motor.

[0045] The lower part of the control box 2 is provided with a lamp strip groove for placing an LED lamp, the LED lamp is connected with the control box 2, and the opening and extinguishing of the LED lamp can be realized.

[0046] In summary, in order to meet the use of users, the device is provided with a drive mode of manual and motor drive integrated for users to select.
