Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy commercial vehicles, and in particular to a differential with an integrated high-speed ratio reducer. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of new energy in the commercial vehicle market, integrated electric drive axles with advantages of lightweight and high transmission efficiency have been widely used in this field. However, with the continuous expansion of the application scope of new energy commercial vehicles, the complexity of the working conditions they face is also increasing. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring the lightweight of the integrated electric drive axle, further improving its structural compactness and power performance has become a key research issue in this field.

[0003] The difference between the conventional integrated electric drive axle differential and the traditional axle differential is that the passive gear driving its transmission is a cylindrical gear. On the one hand, in order to pursue a larger transmission ratio, the number of teeth of the passive cylindrical gear is continuously increased, resulting in a larger gear size structure, which is not conducive to improving the transmission performance of the axle; on the other hand, under the premise of meeting the compactness of the structure, in order to improve the dynamic performance of the axle, it is necessary to increase the number of gear pairs. Although the dynamic performance has been improved, the increase in the number of gear pairs has led to an increase in transmission losses, which seriously affects the transmission efficiency of the axle. Therefore, it is urgent to design an electric drive axle differential that meets the requirements of structural compactness and fully improves the dynamic performance. Utility Model Content
