[0033] It should be noted that all the components in the present utility model, without special instructions, are components known in the art.

[0034] The following gives specific embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that the present utility model is not limited to the following specific embodiments, and all equivalent transformations made on the basis of the technical solutions of this application fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] The present utility model provides a coaxial reduction and differential lock integrated mechanism, including a reduction planetary mechanism, a differential planetary mechanism, and a differential lock sliding sleeve 5;

[0036] The reduction planetary mechanism includes a planetary carrier 20. A long half shaft 16 is rotatably arranged in the planetary carrier 20. An output shaft 15 is sleeved on the upper part of the long half shaft 16. The upper and lower parts of the output shaft 15 are spline-connected with a sun gear 25 sleeved thereon. A reduction system cover plate 17 is sleeved on the upper half of the sun gear 25. The reduction system cover plate 17 contacts the top of the planetary carrier 20. A sun gear support bearing 19 is arranged on the top of the sun gear 25. A first limit retaining ring 13 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sun gear support bearing 19. A second limit retaining ring 14 is sleeved on the top of the sun gear 25. Three reduction planetary shafts 8 are evenly arranged circumferentially between the lower half of the planetary carrier 20 and the sun gear 25. Each reduction planetary shaft 8 is sleeved with a reduction planetary gear 9 in a loose fit. The lower part of the long half shaft 16 extends out of the planetary carrier 20 and then extends into the differential planetary mechanism;

[0037] The differential planetary mechanism includes a differential cover plate 26 fixedly connected to the planet carrier 20. A lower portion of the long half shaft 16 extending out of the planet carrier 20 is sleeved with a first differential half shaft gear 23. A short half shaft 28 coaxial with the long half shaft 16 is arranged in the middle of the differential cover plate 26. A second differential half shaft gear 6 is arranged on the short half shaft 28. Thrust bearings 24 are arranged between the upper end face of the first differential half shaft gear 23 and the planet carrier 20, between the second differential half shaft gear 6 and the differential cover plate 26, and between the contact surfaces of the first differential half shaft gear 23 and the second differential half shaft gear 6.

[0038] A second support bearing 27 is arranged on the outer side of the bottom of the differential cover plate 26. Three pairs of planet wheel shafts 3 are evenly arranged along the circumference on the top of the differential cover plate 26. A first differential planet wheel 1 and a second differential planet wheel 2 are respectively arranged on each pair of planet wheel shafts 3. Thrust bearings 22 are arranged at both ends of the first differential planet wheel 1 and the second differential planet wheel 2.

[0039] A differential lock sliding sleeve 5 is jointly arranged outside the first differential planet wheel 1 and the second differential planet wheel 2. The differential lock sliding sleeve 5 is connected to the outside.

[0040] In the above technical solution, the planet carrier 20 serves as the power input, driving the first differential planet wheel 1 and the second differential planet wheel 2 to revolve, and respectively transmitting the power to the long half shaft 16 and the short half shaft 28 through the first differential half shaft gear 23 and the second differential half shaft gear 6.

[0041] When there is a rotational speed difference between the wheels on both sides of the long half shaft 16 and the short half shaft 28, the first differential planet wheel 1 and the second differential planet wheel 2 mesh with each other and rotate around their respective corresponding planet wheel shafts 3. And the rotation directions of the two groups of planet wheels are opposite and the rotational speeds are the same, realizing the differential function.

[0042] In the non-working state of the differential lock, the differential lock sliding sleeve 5 meshes with the first differential planet wheel 1 and keeps non-contact with the second differential planet wheel 2, as Figure 5 shown; at this time, when the differential is working normally, the differential lock sliding sleeve 5 rotates freely with the first differential planet wheel 1 without affecting the operation of the differential. When the differential lock activates the locking function, that is, driving the differential lock sliding sleeve 5 to move towards the second differential planet wheel 2 until it fully meshes with the first differential planet wheel 1 and the second differential planet wheel 2, as Figure 2 and 6 shown. At this time, the first differential planet wheel 1 and the second differential planet wheel 2 are simultaneously meshed with the differential lock sliding sleeve 5, and the opposite-direction self-rotation of the first differential planet wheel 1 and the second differential planet wheel 2 cannot be realized, that is, locking the differential to realize the differential lock function.

[0043] Among them, the thrust bearing 22 is used to bear the axial forces of the first differential planetary gear 1 and the second differential planetary gear 2, and the thrust bearing 24 is used to axially position the first differential side gear 23 and the second differential side gear 6.

[0044] In terms of the coaxial power input and differential output functions, the first differential planetary gear 1, the second differential planetary gear 2, the first differential side gear 23, and the second differential side gear 6 are adopted; among them, the first differential planetary gear 1 and the second differential planetary gear 2 mesh with each other and respectively mesh with their respective differential side gears, realizing the power input from the planet carrier, the revolution and rotation of the first differential planetary gear 1 and the second differential planetary gear, and the differential output function of the side gears; it not only meets the basic functions of the differential, but also realizes the coaxial differential output function, solving the technical problem that the same mechanism in the prior art cannot simultaneously have the functions of speed reduction and torque increase, differential drive, and locking.

[0045] In terms of the differential locking function, a differential lock sliding sleeve is adopted to synchronize the first differential planetary gear 1 and the second differential planetary gear 2. That is, when the differential lock works, the differential lock sliding sleeve meshes with the first differential planetary gear 1 and the second differential planetary gear 2 of the differential at the same time, making the differential lose its differential function, and the same torque can be obtained on both wheels, avoiding power transmission problems caused by one wheel slipping.

[0046] This solution designs a structure integrating the functions of speed reduction and torque increase, differential, and differential locking, which has the characteristics of compact structure, high integration, high transmission efficiency, and high reliability, greatly reducing the space size and being applicable to the field of coaxial electric drive axles.

[0048] Specifically, a first support bearing 18 is arranged on the outer side of the top of the reduction system cover plate 17.

[0051] In the above technical solution, the oil hole 11 is provided for lubricating the planetary shaft 8.

[0053] Preferably, Figure 7 and Figure 8 the 12-1 and 12-2 on it are the corresponding positioning holes of the cylindrical pin 12, and the 4-1 and 4-2 are the corresponding bolt holes of the bolt 4.

[0054] Specifically, the reduction system cover plate 17 and the planet carrier 20 are fixedly connected by a positioning pin 7 and bolts.

[0055] In the above technical solution, the connection manner between the reduction system cover plate 17 and the planet carrier 20 is the same as that between the differential cover plate 26 and the planet carrier 20.

[0056] Specifically, a ring gear 21 is arranged outside the planet carrier 20, rectangular teeth 30 are arranged on the outer wall of the ring gear 21, and the ring gear 21 meshes with the external axle housing.

[0057] In the above technical solution, the rectangular teeth 30 realize the fixation of the ring gear 21, the input of the sun gear 25, and the output of the planet carrier 20.

[0058] Specifically, a limiting boss 29 is arranged at the bottom of the planet carrier 20.
