[0018] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the transmission in the first state provided by an embodiment of the present application;

[0019] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the transmission in the second state provided by an embodiment of the present application. Detailed Embodiments

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 :

[0022] The transmission provided by the embodiment of the present application includes: a first wheel body 10 and a second wheel body 20, one of the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20 is a driving wheel, and the other is a driven wheel. For example, in Figure 1 and Figure 2Among them, the first wheel body 10 is the driving wheel, the connected first transmission shaft a is the driving shaft, the second wheel body 20 is the driven wheel, and the connected second transmission shaft b is the driven shaft. However, it is not limited to this. Conversely, the first wheel body 10 can be the driven wheel, the connected first transmission shaft a can be the driven shaft, the second wheel body 20 can be the driving wheel, and the connected second transmission shaft b can be the driving shaft; a permanent magnet 12 is provided in the first wheel body 10, the second wheel body 20 has a squirrel-cage structure, and there is a mating air gap G between the circumferential surfaces of the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20.

[0023] When one of the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20 that is the driving wheel rotates, the squirrel-cage structure of the second wheel body 20 cuts the magnetic induction lines of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 12. Thus, the second wheel body 20 is magnetized, and the torque transmission between the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20 is achieved through the magnetic field coupling between the permanent magnet 12 and the squirrel-cage structure. Without direct contact, torque transmission can be realized. There is a mating air gap G between the circumferential surfaces of the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20, which avoids the problems of wear and heat generation between the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20. Thus, it is also beneficial to improve the transmission efficiency. Since the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20 are in non-contact transmission, there is no wear and they have a long service life. And there is no need for lubrication and maintenance, which saves time and effort. The asynchronous speed transmission between the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20 can play a role in shock protection and vibration reduction.

[0024] In a specific embodiment, the permanent magnet 12 can move in the first wheel body 10 along the first direction P1 and the second direction P2; the outer diameter of the first wheel body 10 gradually decreases along the first direction P1, the outer diameter of the second wheel body 20 gradually decreases along the second direction P2, and the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20 are arranged along the third direction P3; wherein, the second direction P2 is opposite to the first direction P1, and the third direction P3 is perpendicular to the first direction P1. When the permanent magnet 12 axially moves in the first wheel body 10 along the first direction P1 and the second direction P2, the magnetic field coupling position 30 changes, and the radii of the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20 change in opposite directions. For example, Figure 2 Compared with Figure 1 when the magnetic field coupling position 30 moves with the permanent magnet 12 towards the first direction P1, the outer diameter of the first wheel body 10 corresponding to the magnetic field coupling position 30 becomes smaller, the outer diameter of the second wheel body 20 becomes larger, and the transmission ratio changes. Thus, non-contact torque speed change is achieved. And the torque speed changes steplessly, and the transmission is smooth without jerks.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, the first wheel body 10 has a moving channel 11 extending along the first direction P1, and the permanent magnet 12 is slidably fitted in the moving channel 11. The permanent magnet 12 is limited by the moving channel 11 and can only axially move in the first direction P1 and the second direction P2, and the operation is stable and reliable. Moreover, the permanent magnet 12 and the moving channel 11 can have a matching non-circular structure, such as a square cross-section and a regular hexagon cross-section structure, to prevent the permanent magnet 12 from rotating relative to the inner wall of the moving channel 11.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, a soft magnetic structure 13 is provided around the moving channel 11 to transmit the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 12 to the squirrel-cage structure, which is beneficial for the squirrel-cage structure to cut the magnetic induction lines.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, the material of the soft magnetic structure 13 is silicon steel, and silicon steel has good magnetic field transmission characteristics.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, the soft magnetic structure 13 is a silicon steel sheet, and a plurality of silicon steel sheets are spaced around the moving channel 11, which can effectively transmit the magnetic field. The silicon steel sheets are beneficial for cost saving, and non-magnetic materials are provided between the plurality of silicon steel sheets to play a role in filling and supporting.

[0029] In a specific embodiment, along the first direction P1, the width of the mating air gap G is uniform, so as to avoid wear caused by too close distance at some positions and poor coupling effect and unfavorable control of the magnetic field coupling intensity due to too far distance at some positions due to the change of the size of the mating air gap G.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, both the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20 are conical (such as a cone), and the generatrix of the first wheel body 10 is parallel to the generatrix of the second wheel body 20. However, the two are not limited to being conical, and can also be structures close to conical. The generatrices of the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20 can be non-straight lines, such as convex or concave curves.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, the width of the mating air gap G is less than or equal to 2 mm. For example, it can be 2 mm, 1.9 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.7 mm, etc. If the mating air gap G is too large, it is not conducive to the magnetic field coupling between the permanent magnet 12 and the squirrel-cage structure. If the mating air gap G is too small, the first wheel body 10 and the second wheel body 20 are likely to contact each other during rotation and cause wear.

[0032] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, and the vehicle includes the transmission provided in the above embodiment. For the beneficial effects of the vehicle, please refer to the relevant effect analysis of the above transmission.

[0033] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the embodiments of the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present utility model fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model and their equivalent technologies, the present utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
