Compared with traditional models, new energy vehicles have higher requirements for the rigidity and heat dissipation performance of the reducer housing.

[0003] In order to improve the rigidity and heat dissipation performance of the reducer housing, a reinforcing rib structure is usually designed on the reducer housing.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 4 The reducer housing of the utility model includes a housing body 1, which is provided with a mounting through hole 11. The circumferential outer wall of the mounting through hole 11 is provided with a plurality of spaced reinforcing ribs 2 extending along the radial direction of the mounting through hole 11 toward the circumferential inner wall of the housing body 1. The reinforcing ribs 2 are provided with a first groove 201. Two adjacent reinforcing ribs 2 are connected by a connecting rib plate 3 to form a second groove 202. The notch of the first groove 201 is arranged in the opposite direction to the notch of the second groove 202. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 2 and the plurality of connecting rib plates 3 are alternately connected in sequence along the circumference of the mounting through hole 11 to form two side inner cavities of the housing body 1 arranged along the axial direction of the mounting through hole 11.

[0029] As an example, the reinforcing rib 2 includes a first rib plate 21, and second rib plates 22 extending outwardly from both sides of the first rib plate 21 along the axial direction of the mounting through hole 11, the first rib plate 21 and the two second rib plates 22 are connected to form a first groove 201; the end of the second rib plate 22 away from the first rib plate 21 is connected to the connecting rib plate 3, and the connecting rib plate 3 and the two second rib plates 22 are connected to form a second groove 202. Among them, the mounting through hole 11 includes a first opening end and a second opening end, and the aperture of the first opening end is smaller than the aperture of the second opening end. As a specific example, in this embodiment, the first opening end is used to install an oil seal, and the second opening end is used to install a bearing. Further, the circumferential outer wall of the first opening end extends outwardly along the radial direction of the opening with multiple first rib plates 21, that is, one end of the first rib plate 21 is connected to the circumferential outer wall of the first opening end, and the other end of the first rib plate 21 is connected to the circumferential inner wall of the shell body 1. The circumferential outer wall of the second opening end has a plurality of connecting ribs 3 extending outwardly along the radial direction of the opening, that is, one end of the connecting rib 3 is connected to the circumferential outer wall of the second opening end, and the other end of the connecting rib 3 is connected to the circumferential inner wall of the shell body 1. It should be noted that in the circumferential direction of the mounting through hole 11, the first rib 21 and the connecting rib 3 are staggered.

[0030] Further, the notch of the first groove 201 is arranged on the same side as the second opening end, and the notch of the second groove 202 is arranged on the same side as the first opening end.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first rib 21 is arranged at an angle. Specifically, the first rib 21 is inclined from the circumferential outer wall of the first opening end toward the circumferential inner wall of the shell body 1. Furthermore, in the axial direction of the mounting through hole 11, the connection between the first rib 21 and the circumferential outer wall of the first opening end is higher than the connection between the first rib 21 and the circumferential inner wall of the shell body 1.

[0032] Furthermore, the plate width of the first rib plate 21 gradually increases along the radial direction of the mounting through hole 11. As a specific example, in the present embodiment, the first rib plate 21 is an inclined trapezoidal plate, the upper bottom edge of the trapezoidal plate is connected to the circumferential outer wall of the first opening end, and the lower bottom edge is connected to the circumferential inner wall of the shell body 1, and the waist edges on both sides extend along the axial direction of the mounting through hole 11 toward the direction of the second opening end with a second rib plate 22.

[0033] Furthermore, the connecting rib plate 3 is horizontally arranged, and the plate width of the connecting rib plate 3 gradually increases along the radial direction of the mounting through hole 11. As a specific example, in the present embodiment, the connecting rib plate 3 is a horizontally arranged trapezoidal plate, and its two side waist edges are respectively connected to the side edges of the second rib plate 22 away from the first rib plate 21. It should be noted that, in the circumferential direction of the mounting through hole 11, the plate width of the connecting rib plate 3 is smaller than the plate width of the first rib plate 21. In other words, in the circumferential direction of the mounting through hole 11, the slot width of the second groove 202 is smaller than the slot width of the first groove 201.

[0034] Furthermore, the depths of the first groove 201 and the second groove 202 are both smaller than the depth of the mounting through hole 11 .

[0035] Furthermore, in the radial direction of the mounting through hole 11, a partition rib plate 4 is further provided on one side of the mounting through hole 11, and the partition rib plate 4 is an arc-shaped plate. As a specific example, in this embodiment, the arc center of the partition rib plate 4 is located on the side where the mounting through hole 11 is located, the partition rib plate 4 penetrates the inner cavity on both sides of the shell body 1, and the plate width of the partition rib plate 4 along the axial direction of the mounting through hole 11 is greater than the hole depth of the mounting through hole 11, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the partition rib 4 divides the first groove 201 and the second groove 202 located on the radial side of the mounting through hole 11 into two parts, and the partition rib 4 is higher than the first rib 21 and the connecting rib 3, thereby playing the role of oil blocking.

[0036] During actual use, the beneficial effect of the reducer housing of the utility model is that: by arranging multiple reinforcing ribs 2 and multiple connecting rib plates 3 which are alternately connected in sequence along the circumference of the mounting through hole 11, an inner cavity between the circumferential outer wall of the mounting through hole 11 and the circumferential inner wall of the housing is formed. That is to say, the inner cavity structure of the reducer housing of the utility model itself has the structural characteristics of reinforcing ribs, and there is no need to add additional reinforcing ribs, thereby avoiding a significant increase in the weight of the housing caused by the additional addition of reinforcing ribs. In the utility model, the cross-section of two adjacent reinforcing ribs 2 when connected by the connecting rib plates 3 is an S-shaped structure. Such a structure can ensure that the two sides of the axial direction of the mounting through hole 11 on the housing, that is, the two sides of the housing bearing seat, are subjected to balanced force during use, thereby improving the overall rigidity of the housing. Furthermore, a first groove 201 is provided on the reinforcing rib 2, and a second groove 202 is provided between two adjacent reinforcing ribs 2, so that the two sides of the reinforcing rib 2 can be directly in contact with the lubricating oil and the external air respectively. The first groove 201 is used to store the lubricating oil, and the second groove 202 is used as a heat dissipation groove to improve the heat dissipation effect of the shell. Specifically, during use, the lubricating oil is fully in contact with the three side groove walls of the first groove 201. In other words, the three inner sides of the reinforcing rib 2 are in direct contact with the lubricating oil of the reduction gearbox. The heat from the lubricating oil is first transferred to the three inner sides of the reinforcing rib 2, and then directly transferred to the external air through the three outer sides of the reinforcing rib 2. The effective heat exchange area on both sides of the axial direction of the mounting through hole 11 on the shell is increased, thereby significantly improving the heat dissipation performance of the shell and achieving the best heat dissipation effect.
