It should be understood that these specific descriptions are only used to teach those skilled in the art how to implement the present application, and are not intended to exhaust all possible methods of the present application, nor to limit the scope of the present application.

[0030] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "axial direction" refers to the axial direction of the inner sleeve of the vibration-damping connecting member, and "axial side" refers to the axial direction of the inner sleeve of the vibration-damping connecting member. Figure 2A and Figure 3A The left side of the axis refers to Figure 2A and Figure 3A on the right side of the .

[0031] In summary, the vibration-damping connection member of the vehicle power system according to the present application is used to reliably connect the stator assembly and the housing of the vehicle power system while reducing the vibration transmitted from the stator assembly to the housing, thereby improving the HVH performance of the vehicle power system. The specific structure of the vehicle power system according to different embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0032] (Vehicle power system according to the first embodiment of the present application)

[0033] like Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, the vehicle power system according to the first embodiment of the present application includes a vibration-damping connection member 1, a stator assembly (a stator 2 and a stator bracket 3) and a housing 4. The stator 2 and the stator bracket 3 are fixed to each other. The stator bracket 3 is formed with a bracket mounting hole (a first mounting hole) 3h, and the housing 4 is formed with a housing mounting hole (a second mounting hole) 4h corresponding to the position of the bracket mounting hole 3h. The vibration-damping connection member 1 is inserted as a whole into the bracket mounting hole 3h and is interference fit with the stator bracket 3, so that the stator bracket 3 can be connected to the vibration-damping connection member 1 via the elastic portion 12. The mounting hole 4h is a stepped hole, and the connector 13 and the inner sleeve 11 of the vibration-damping connection member 1 are inserted into the housing mounting hole 4h, and the housing 4 is connected to the vibration-damping connection member 1 via the connector 13 and the inner sleeve 11.

[0034] Furthermore, if Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, the vibration-damping connecting component 1 includes an inner sleeve 11 , an elastic portion 12 and a connecting member 13 .

[0035] In this embodiment, the inner sleeve 11 is made of a rigid material such as metal, and is formed into a cylindrical shape extending linearly. The inner sleeve 11 is formed with a first through hole 11h penetrating along its axial direction A. Over the entire axial length of the inner sleeve 11, the thickness of the side wall of the inner sleeve 11 in the radial direction R is always the same.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the elastic portion 12 is made of an elastic material such as rubber, and the elastic portion 12 can be fixedly mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the inner sleeve 11 by vulcanization. Specifically, the elastic portion 12 is formed to extend along the axial direction A while also extending continuously along the circumferential direction for a whole circle. Over the entire axial length of the elastic portion 12, the thickness of the elastic portion 12 in the radial direction R is always the same. Furthermore, the axial length of the elastic portion 12 is smaller than the axial length of the inner sleeve 11, one axial side end of the elastic portion 12 is spaced relatively large from one axial side end of the inner sleeve 11, and the other axial side end of the elastic portion 12 is spaced relatively small from the other axial side end of the inner sleeve 11, so that the elastic portion 12 will not affect the portion of the inner sleeve 11 including one axial side end thereof, such as Figure 2A As shown, it is inserted into the housing mounting hole 4h of the housing 4.

[0037] In this embodiment, the connecting member 13 is inserted through the first through hole 11h. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting member 13 is a bolt, and the connecting member 13 is formed with an external thread. The connecting member 13 can also be other parts such as rivets. In this way, when the inner sleeve 11 and the connecting member 13 are inserted into the housing 4, the connecting member 13 can fix the inner sleeve 11 to the housing 4.

[0038] By adopting the above structure, the stator bracket 3 and the housing 4 are connected in a non-direct contact manner via the vibration-damping connecting member 1, that is, the stator assembly and the housing 4 are connected in a non-direct contact manner via the vibration-damping connecting member 1 (the stator assembly and the housing 4 are spaced apart from each other), thereby the elastic portion 12 of the vibration-damping connecting member 13 can effectively absorb the vibration generated during the operation of the stator assembly and the rotor, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted to the housing 4 and improving the NVH performance of the vehicle power system.

[0039] A vehicle power system according to a second embodiment of the present application is described below.

[0040] (Vehicle power system according to the second embodiment of the present application)

[0041] The structure of the vehicle power system according to the second embodiment of the present application is basically the same as the structure of the vehicle power system according to the first embodiment of the present application, and the differences between the two are mainly described below.

[0042] In this embodiment, if Figure 3A and Figure 3BAs shown, the stator assembly only includes the stator 2, but not the stator bracket. The iron core of the stator 2 itself is formed with an iron core mounting hole (first mounting hole) 2h, and the shell 4 is formed with a shell mounting hole (second mounting hole) 4h corresponding to the position of the iron core mounting hole 2h. The vibration-damping connection member 1 is inserted into the iron core mounting hole 2h as a whole and has an interference fit with the iron core of the stator 2. The connector 13 of the vibration-damping connection member 1 is inserted into the shell mounting hole 4h, so that the stator 2 is connected to the vibration-damping connection member 1 via the outer sleeve 14. The shell mounting hole 4h can be a stepped hole, and the connector 13 and the inner sleeve 11 are both inserted into the shell mounting hole 4h, and the shell 4 is connected to the vibration-damping connection member 1 via the connector 13 and the inner sleeve 11.

[0043] In addition, if Figure 3B As shown, in addition to the same structure as that described in the first embodiment, the vibration-damping connecting member 1 further includes an outer sleeve 14 .

[0044] Specifically, the outer sleeve 14 can be made of the same rigid material as the inner sleeve 11, and the outer sleeve 14 is formed into a cylindrical shape extending in a straight line. The outer sleeve 14 is coaxially arranged with the inner sleeve 11, and the outer sleeve 14 is formed with a second through hole 14h that penetrates along the axial direction A. The inner sleeve 11, the elastic part 12 and the connecting member 13 are all located in the second through hole 14h, and the outer sleeve 14 is sleeved on the radial outer side of the elastic part 12, and the elastic part 12 can be fixedly mounted on the inner circumferential surface of the outer sleeve 14 by vulcanization. In order not to hinder the inner sleeve 11 from being inserted into the housing 4, the axial length of the outer sleeve 14 is less than the axial length of the inner sleeve 11. In addition, after being installed in place, the outer sleeve 14 and the housing 4 are spaced apart from each other.

[0045] In order to facilitate the installation of the outer sleeve 14, the axial end of the elastic part 12 may be formed with a chamfer. Further, the elastic part 12 may include a plurality of ribs spaced apart and arranged circumferentially of the inner sleeve 11, the plurality of ribs being evenly distributed in the circumferential direction and each rib extending a predetermined length along the axial direction of the inner sleeve 11.

[0046] In this way, the stator 2 and the housing 4 are connected in a non-direct contact manner via the vibration-damping connection member 1, that is, the stator assembly and the housing 4 are connected in a non-direct contact manner via the vibration-damping connection member 1 (the stator assembly and the housing 4 are spaced apart from each other), thereby the vehicle power system according to the second embodiment of the present application can play the same role as the vehicle power system according to the first embodiment of the present application.

[0047] The technical solution of the present application has been described in detail in the above specific implementation modes, and supplementary explanations are given below.

[0048] i. It should be understood that the vibration-damping connection member 1 of the present application can be applied not only to vehicle power systems, but also to the connection between two components of other systems, and to reduce the vibration transmitted between the two components.

[0049] It should be understood that in the vibration-damping connecting member 1 of the present application, the inner sleeve 11 and the outer sleeve 14 can be made of different rigid materials, and the rigid materials are not limited to metals. Moreover, the elastic part 12 can be made of various elastic materials as long as it can absorb the vibration transmitted between the two components.

[0050] iii. The vehicle power system may also include a transmission, and the motor including the stator assembly and the rotor and the transmission may share a housing, or the housing of the motor and the housing of the transmission may be integrated. The vehicle power system may be an electric bridge drive system or a hybrid drive system.

[0051] iv. The present application also provides a motor, which may include a rotor, the above-mentioned stator assembly, a vibration-damping connection member, and a housing (or motor housing). The vibration-damping connection member mounts the stator assembly to the housing.

[0052] v. The stator assembly can be mounted to multiple housing mounting holes of the housing via multiple vibration-damping connecting members, and the multiple housing mounting holes can be distributed in the circumferential direction of the housing or the stator assembly. The multiple vibration-damping connecting members can use different types of connectors, for example, dowel pins and bolts.
