[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicles, and particularly relates to an all-in-one corner module integration system. Background Art

[0002] New energy vehicles, 5G technology and other applications have higher and higher requirements for vehicle performance, especially with the trend of electrification, long-range driving and the advancement of autonomous driving technology, which also puts higher requirements on the space layout of the whole vehicle. The three-in-one integrated drive module of motor, controller and reducer is an integrated technology that has emerged in recent years. There are many specific layout methods. There is a platform product covering multiple power ranges and multiple speed levels, which can meet the different needs of different models.

[0003] The traditional integrated system is only the integration of a few functional modules in the drive system, which cannot fundamentally release the space for chassis layout. There is still the fundamental problem of mutual constraints between the functional modules, which makes the space utilization and specific power of the whole vehicle low. Therefore, we urgently need to invent an all-in-one corner module integration system. Utility Model Content

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the plate-type controller is electrically connected to the wheel, the steering motor and the magnetic edge sensor at the same time.

[0024] The wheel 2 includes a stator 201, a rotor 202 and a rim 204. A wheel axle 203 is fixedly installed at the center of the stator 201 and the wheel axle 203 is rotatably installed with the housing 1 through a coupling 101. Two rims 204 are provided and fixedly installed at both ends of the rotor 202. The rotor 202 is arranged outside the stator 201 and installed between the two rims 204. A tire 205 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotor 202. When in use, the stator 201 is energized and electromagnetic induction is used to drive the rotor 202 to rotate. The rotation of the rotor 202 drives the tire 205 to rotate, thereby completing the driving travel.

[0025] The plate-type controller 3 and the steering motor 4 are both fixedly installed inside the casing 1 .

[0026] A shock absorber 102 is provided between the wheel axle 203 and the housing 1. When in use, the additional shock absorber 102 can reduce the bumpiness of the wheel 2 when passing through a rough road.
