Compared with the existing wheel hub motor, the motor body 1 of the utility model adopts an outer rotor motor, and is connected and fixed through the rotor housing 11 and the connecting cavity 21 of the wheel leg, and has good stability during the movement of the wheel hub. The tread portion 22 is arranged on the outer periphery of the tire 2 and is formed by evenly distributed protrusions 221, so that the wheel hub ensures driving stability during driving and plays an anti-skid role. A groove 23 and a boss 24 are also provided, which can effectively drain water during driving and further play an anti-skid role. The inner side of the boss 24 is provided with an air pressure chamber 25 for shock absorption during driving, ensuring a more stable driving process.
[0029] The motor body 1 of the above embodiment drives the tire 2 to rotate through the rotation of the rotor housing 11, thereby achieving efficient energy transmission and rotational force. The close connection and coordinated work between the motor body 1 and the tire 2 ensure the effective utilization and transmission efficiency of energy. The tire 2 is covered on the rotor housing 11 through the connecting cavity 21, forming a stable connection structure. This connection method can ensure good cooperation between the tire 2 and the motor body 1, reduce friction and energy loss during the transmission process, and improve the stability and reliability of rotation.
[0030] In the above embodiment, the outer periphery of the tire 2 is provided with a tread portion 22, which includes protrusions 221 and a plurality of grooves 23 evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the tire 2. This design can increase the friction between the tire 2 and the ground, and provide better grip and traction. The combined design of the protrusions 221 and the grooves 23 enables the tire 2 to have good anti-skid and drainage capabilities under different road conditions.
[0031] In the above embodiment, bosses 24 are provided between the plurality of grooves 23, and an air pressure chamber 25 is provided inside the bosses 24. The presence of the bosses 24 can increase the rigidity and stability of the tire 2 and improve the anti-skid capability. The design of the air pressure chamber 25 can adjust the elasticity of the tire 2 by adjusting the air pressure inside the tire 2 to adapt to different road surfaces and load conditions.
[0032] The motor body 1 includes a base 12, a stator assembly 13, a rotor assembly 14, a shaft assembly 15 and an end cover 16. The base 12 is arranged in the shaft assembly 15 and one end is rotatably connected to the rotor housing 11. The stator assembly 13 is arranged on the outside of the base 12. The rotor assembly 14 is arranged on the inner circumference of the rotor housing 11 and is arranged opposite to the stator assembly 13. One end of the end cover 16 is connected to one end of the rotor housing 11 to form a placement cavity in the rotor housing 11. The stator assembly 13 and the rotor assembly 14 are both in the placement cavity. In this embodiment, the motor body 1 is composed of components such as the base 12, the stator assembly 13, the rotor assembly 14, the shaft assembly 15 and the end cover 16 to form a compact structure. This design makes the motor body 1 have a smaller volume and size, which can better adapt to the installation space restrictions of the hub motor. The rotor assembly 14 is arranged on the inner circumference of the rotor housing 11 and is arranged opposite to the stator assembly 13. This structure makes the electromagnetic transmission efficiency between the stator and the rotor higher, and improves the power density and rotation efficiency of the motor. The base 12 is arranged in the shaft assembly 15 and is rotatably connected to the rotor housing 11 to form a stable connection structure. This connection method can ensure the stability and reliability of the motor body 1 during operation and reduce the vibration and noise caused by rotation. The structural design of the motor body 1 takes into account the heat dissipation requirements. A placement cavity is formed in the rotor housing 11, and the stator assembly 13 and the rotor assembly 14 are both in the placement cavity. This design is conducive to heat dissipation. It is connected through one end of the end cover 16 to effectively conduct and discharge the generated heat, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance and stability of the motor.
[0033] The tire 2 includes an inner ring portion 26 and an outer ring portion 27, wherein the outer ring portion 27 is arranged on the outer periphery of the inner ring portion 26, and the inner side surface of the inner ring portion 26 is in contact with one side of the rotor housing 11. Specifically, a thickened portion is provided at the connection between the inner ring portion 26 and the outer ring portion 27. The inner ring portion 26 and the outer ring portion 27 are formed by integral injection molding of the rubber tire 2. In this embodiment, the inner ring portion 26 and the outer ring portion 27 are connected together by the thickened portion to form a tight connection structure. The inner side surface of the inner ring portion 26 is in contact with one side of the rotor housing 11, ensuring a tight connection between the inner ring portion 26 and the rotor housing 11, reducing energy loss and vibration. The inner ring portion 26 and the outer ring portion 27 are formed by integral injection molding of the rubber tire 2. This manufacturing process makes the inner ring portion 26 and the outer ring portion 27 seamless, thereby improving the overall strength and durability of the tire 2. At the same time, integral injection molding can also reduce the weight of the tire 2 and improve the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. The rubber material has good elasticity and grip, and can provide stable handling and anti-skid performance. The integral injection molding of the inner ring portion 26 and the outer ring portion 27 makes the overall structure of the tire 2 more solid, and can better resist lateral forces and provide better handling performance.
[0034] The tread portion 22 is provided with a dividing groove 222, and the dividing groove 222 is used to divide the tread portion 22 into a first tread area 223 and a second tread area 224, and the first tread area 223 and the second tread area 224 are both provided with a groove 23 and a boss 24. Specifically, the groove 23 on the first tread area 223 and the groove 23 of the second tread area 224 are staggered. In this embodiment, the tread portion 22 is provided with a dividing groove 222, which is used to divide the tread portion 22 into the first tread area 223 and the second tread area 224. This segmentation design helps to improve the stability and grip of the tire 2. By dividing the tread portion 22 into different areas, each area can have specific functions and characteristics to adapt to different road conditions and driving requirements. The first tread area 223 and the second tread area 224 are both provided with a groove 23 and a boss 24. The presence of the groove 23 and the boss 24 can increase the contact area between the tire 2 and the ground, providing better grip and traction. The staggered arrangement of the grooves 23 and the bosses 24 can increase the stability and drainage performance of the tire 2 and reduce the slipping phenomenon caused by water retention. The combined design of the dividing grooves 222, the grooves 23 and the bosses 24 enhances the anti-skid performance of the tire 2. The presence of the grooves 23 and the bosses 24 can effectively remove water or debris, maintain good contact between the tire 2 and the ground, and provide higher anti-skid performance and safety.
[0035] The air pressure chamber 25 is disposed on the inner side of the boss 24 and is close to the groove 23. In this embodiment, the air pressure chamber 25 is disposed on the inner side of the boss 24, which can increase the rigidity and stability of the tire 2. During the moving process, the air pressure chamber 25 can provide additional support force, so that the boss 24 area maintains a better shape and stability, and reduces deformation and instability caused by lateral force.
[0036] The side of the groove 23 close to the air pressure chamber 25 is provided with an inner arc surface 231. In this embodiment, the provision of the inner arc surface 231 can increase the softness of the groove 23 area. The curved shape of the inner arc surface 231 makes the groove 23 area more flexible and can better adapt to the unevenness and changes of the road surface. At the same time, it also increases the structural rigidity and strength.
[0037] The air pressure chamber 25 is arranged in an L shape. In this embodiment, the L-shaped air pressure chamber 25 can increase the rigidity and stability of the tire 2. The L-shaped structure provides additional support, so that the tire 2 can better resist the lateral force and the steering force during driving, and increase the stability of the entire tire 2 system.
