AI Technical Summary
The existing inner rotor hub motors suffer from rotor eccentricity and axial misalignment due to unilateral magnetic pull, leading to interference and increased rotational resistance, which affects normal rotation and can cause clutch failure.
The solution involves arranging planar thrust bearings between the rotor and the motor cover and gear bracket, maintaining gaps between the one-way needle roller bearing and rotor, and using aligned shafts to ensure axial parallelism and positioning, with rolling bearings connecting the gear shaft to the motor components.
This configuration stabilizes the rotor and gear shaft alignment, reducing rotational interference and ensuring smooth operation by suppressing the effect of magnetic pull on the one-way clutch, thereby preventing clutch failure.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hub motors, in particular to an inner rotor motor assembly and a hub motor. Background Art
[0002] At present, the clutch structure of the inner rotor hub motor on the market is usually a one-way gear ring or a separately installed clutch. Specifically, a one-way clutch (hereinafter described as a one-way needle bearing) is set between the inner wall of the rotor and the gear shaft, and then a gasket is set at both ends of the one-way needle bearing. The characteristics of the one-way needle bearing are used (that is, the needle roller group of the one-way needle bearing holds the gear shaft tightly in one direction, which is an integrated state, and the other direction loosens the gear shaft, which is a gap state). When the direction of the gear shaft is consistent with the direction of the needle roller group, the rotor and the gear shaft rotate relative to each other. Otherwise, the rotor and the gear shaft rotate together, thereby realizing the clutch function and protecting the motor.
[0003] In the above scheme, the rotor is not axially fixed. Since a large magnetic pull is generated between the rotor and the stator, it is easy to cause rotor eccentricity, which in turn affects the axial parallelism of the rotor and the gear shaft. After the rotor is eccentric, interference or increased rotational resistance is likely to occur, affecting the normal rotation of the motor rotor; at the same time, when the friction on the gasket surface is large and there is no end face gap, it is easy to cause the outer ring of the one-way needle roller bearing and the inner ring of the rolling bearing at both axial ends of the gasket to be unable to slide flexibly, thereby affecting the normal rotation of the rotor and causing the one-way clutch to fail.

[0026] As attached Figure 6 The illustrated in-wheel hub motor includes a hub shell 21, a hub cover 11, and the inner rotor motor assembly.
