BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional diagram of a new energy electric drive bridge for a light truck of the present utility model.

[0012] Description of reference numerals:

[0013] 1——bridge housing, 11——tooth package body, 12——extension bridge, 2——motor, 3——reducer, 4——wheel hub, 5——brake drum, 6——brake system, 7——leaf spring seat, 71——rectangular plate, 72——round tube, 73——rib plate, 8——shock-absorbing bracket. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the scope of implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, a new energy electric drive bridge for a light truck in this embodiment includes a bridge housing 1, a reducer 3 driven by a motor 2 is fixed in the middle of the bridge housing 1 by bolts, the reducer 3 is driven by a differential gear in the bridge housing 1, and the differential is connected to the wheel hubs 4 at both ends of the bridge housing 1 through half shafts, a brake drum 5 is fixed to the wheel hub 4, a brake system 6 fixed to the bridge housing 1 is fitted in the brake drum 5, leaf spring seats 7 are arranged at the same distance from the wheel hub 6 at both ends of the bridge housing 1, and shock absorbing brackets 8 are arranged on the leaf spring seats 7.

[0016] The electric drive axle of this embodiment has modified the power mechanism while minimizing the modification of the existing axle structure. The motor uses flat copper wire, which has high energy density and high power. The gears of the reducer 3 are all ground helical gears, which have better matching accuracy, smooth operation and low noise. The reducer 3 is coaxially provided with a cable parking mechanism. The overall power mechanism has a compact structure and occupies a small space.

[0017] The shock absorber bracket 8 for mounting the shock absorber in this embodiment is fixed to the leaf spring seat 7 by means of U-bolts when the leaf spring is mounted, so that the mounting position can be adjusted or the size can be changed without welding to the bridge housing 1.

[0018] The bridge housing 1 is made of high-strength steel, with a reduced thickness to reduce weight. The bridge housing 1 is welded from three parts, including a threaded body 11 in the middle where the differential is installed, and extension bridges 12 at both ends. One end of the extension bridge 12 is a square tube that is welded to the threaded body 11, and the other end of the extension bridge 12 is a round tube that is rotatably connected to the wheel hub 4. In this way, only the threaded body 11 needs to be cast, thereby reducing the size and weight of the casting and reducing the difficulty of casting.

[0019] The leaf spring seat 7 includes two upper and lower rectangular plates 71, and round tubes welded to the two rectangular plates 71 at four corners, and ribs 73 are provided between the rectangular plates 71 and the round tubes 72. The leaf spring seat 7 can be welded as a whole first, and then fitted on the extension bridge 12 and welded thereto; it can also be welded on the bridge housing 1.

[0020] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, and for the convenience of describing the technical solution, the front, rear, left, right, top, middle, and bottom directions adopted are based on the settings in the accompanying drawings, rather than limiting the protection scope of the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
