[0027] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementations, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0028] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only used to schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present invention, and thus the illustrations only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The embodiment of the utility model provides a hollow shaft 100, which includes a shaft body 11, a first mounting portion 12 and a second mounting portion 13; the shaft body 11 is a hollow cylindrical structure having a first inner cavity 111, and the first mounting portion 12 and the second mounting portion 13 are respectively welded to the two ends of the shaft body 11. The material strength of the first mounting portion 12 and the material strength of the second mounting portion 13 are not completely the same as the material strength of the shaft body 11.
[0030] It is worth noting that the hollow shaft 100 is designed in sections and welded to each other, so that the shaft body material can be better utilized and material waste can be reduced. It can be processed and formed in sections, which speeds up the production cycle and improves economic efficiency. At the same time, the shaft body 11 of the hollow shaft 100 is a hollow cylindrical structure with a first inner cavity 111. Its structure is simple. Compared with the technical solutions of gun drilling or rotary forging, its interior is easier to process, which is conducive to reducing the existence of unnecessary structures, thereby reducing mass and achieving lightweight characteristics.
[0031] It is also worth noting that the material strength of the first mounting portion 12, the material strength of the second mounting portion 13 and the material strength of the shaft body 11 are not completely the same, which means that the material strengths of the three are different or completely different. This setting method can optimize the strength distribution. By using materials of different strengths in different parts, it can be optimized according to the load and stress level borne by each part. At the same time, the selection of materials of different strengths can reduce material costs. It can use materials of different strengths to achieve a lightweight design of the shaft and reduce unnecessary weight while ensuring the overall strength of the shaft.
[0032] In this embodiment, the first mounting portion 12 and / or the second mounting portion 13 has a second inner cavity 14 that is interconnected with the first inner cavity 111. It is understandable that the provision of the second inner cavity 14 can realize the cooling oil circuit of the motor stator and rotor, thereby improving the performance and applicability of the hollow shaft 100.
[0033] In this embodiment, the second inner cavity 14 is a stepped groove, and the large end hole of the second inner cavity 14 is close to the first inner cavity 111 .
[0034] It is worth noting that by designing the second inner cavity 14 as a stepped groove, the overall structural strength of the hollow shaft 100 can be increased, and its ability to resist bending and torsion can be improved. At the same time, the design of the stepped groove can make the processing of the second inner cavity 14 simpler and easier, reduce manufacturing costs, and improve production efficiency.
[0035] It is also worth mentioning that the processing technology of segmented processing and then welding of the hollow shaft 100 can form a complex inner cavity structure.
[0036] In this embodiment, the material strength of the first mounting portion 12 , the material strength of the second mounting portion 13 and the material strength of the shaft body 11 are not completely the same.
[0037] In this embodiment, the first mounting portion 12 includes an external spline 121 , a bearing stopper 122 and a first mounting body 123 which are sequentially arranged in steps. The first mounting body 123 is a large diameter end, and the first mounting body 123 is welded to the shaft body 11 .
[0038] It is worth noting that by using the stepped external spline 121 and the bearing stop 122 on the first mounting portion 12, a more reliable connection can be provided, the stability between the shaft and other components (such as bearings) can be enhanced, and the vibration and displacement of the shaft during operation can be reduced, thereby improving the operational stability and reliability of the equipment. At the same time, the stepped external spline 121 and the bearing stop 122 can increase the connection area, increase the contact area between the shaft and other components, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity, helping the shaft to remain stable when subjected to high loads, and reducing the risk of failure due to insufficient load-bearing capacity.
[0039] In this embodiment, the material strength of the second mounting portion 13 and the material strength of the shaft body 11 are both smaller than the material strength of the first mounting portion 12 .
[0040] It is understandable that the first mounting portion 12 in this embodiment will bear more loads, so its material strength requirement is higher. The material strength of the remaining positions (the shaft body 11 and the second mounting portion 13) is lower than that of the first mounting portion 12. Selecting a material with a lower strength than that of the first mounting portion 12 can generally save costs. While ensuring the quality of the hollow shaft 100, it also improves the economic efficiency.
[0041] In this embodiment, the shaft diameter of the first installation body 123 is the same as the shaft diameter of the shaft body 11 .
[0042] Optionally, the first mounting portion 12 and the second mounting portion 13 are both forged.
[0043] Specifically, the forging method of the first mounting part 12 and the second mounting part 13 can be hot forging, extrusion forging, free forging, cold heading, etc. Forging can bring the following benefits: 1) Improve material strength: Forging can improve the grain structure of the metal, improve its strength and toughness, and make it have better mechanical properties; 2) Improve surface quality: Pressure will be generated on the metal surface during the forging process, which can eliminate surface defects and improve surface quality. 3) Save materials: Forging can usually reduce material waste and improve material utilization, thereby reducing production costs. 4) Improve production efficiency: Forging is an efficient processing method that can quickly produce a large number of parts and improve production efficiency.
