Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of in-wheel motors, and specifically relates to a large reduction ratio double cycloid gear reduction in-rotor in-wheel motor assembly. Background Art

[0002] With the substantial increase in the urbanization rate in China and the continuous influx of urban population, urban traffic congestion has intensified. The increase in the number of automobiles has, on the one hand, caused the overloaded operation of parking lots, and on the other hand, large parking lots occupy a large amount of public space; all of the above problems are promoting the transformation of transportation modes. Therefore, the construction of cities is vigorously promoting public transportation and green travel.

[0003] Currently, domestic shared bicycles and shared electric bicycles are growing based on such a development logic; coupled with the continuous improvement of people's health awareness, there will be more and more choices for green travel modes. The usage requirements for personal green transportation tools such as electric bicycles, electric-assisted bicycles, and electric skateboards will be increasing, and thus higher requirements are put forward for the technical upgrade and experience upgrade of such products.

[0004] Currently, most personal travel tools such as electric bicycles and electric-assisted bicycles adopt the drive scheme of in-wheel motors.

[0005] For the in-wheel motor used in electric-assisted bicycles, in order to pursue the coordination between the appearance and the bicycle, the outer diameter of the in-wheel motor needs to be made as small as the same as the outer diameter of the frisbee. However, due to the limitation of the axial space, the torque output of the motor becomes smaller, and it cannot well adapt to the usage requirements of bicycles in multiple working conditions. Therefore, the in-wheel motors on electric-assisted bicycles mostly adopt the motor scheme of an outer rotor motor plus planetary reduction to increase the torque of the motor.

[0006] This kind of motor structure can achieve the torque increase output of the motor in a relatively small space structure. Due to the limitation of the internal structure, most of the planetary gear train structures adopted by the current in-wheel motors can only achieve a single-stage reduction ratio of 5. And in order to reasonably control the total mass, a plastic gear mechanism is mostly used inside, which to a certain extent affects the service life of the motor and the output of the maximum torque.

[0007] As an in-wheel motor for electric-assisted bicycles, it pursues a small volume, that is, complete bicycleization, and at the same time needs to provide a certain torque output. Therefore, both the motor and the reduction mechanism need to be made very small. To meet the small size requirement of the motor, a reduction mechanism with a large reduction ratio and a small volume is required to match it. Summary of the Utility Model

[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] Referring to the attached Figures 1-5 , a large speed ratio double cycloid gear reduction inner rotor hub motor assembly in this embodiment includes a motor stator 101, a motor rotor 102 and a double cycloid gear reduction mechanism installed in the hub motor 100. The double cycloid gear reduction mechanism includes an external cycloid gear 110, an intermediate cycloid gear 120 and a cycloid output gear 140. The external cycloid gear 110 is fixedly installed in the external cycloid fixed housing 210. The intermediate cycloid gear 120 is installed on the rotor shaft 130 in the hub motor 100 through a bearing 200. The cycloid output gear 140 is coaxially arranged with the external cycloid gear 110. External cycloid teeth four 141 and internal cycloid teeth one 111 are respectively provided on the outer wall of the cycloid output gear 140 and the inner wall of the external cycloid gear 110. External cycloid teeth two 121 and internal cycloid teeth three 122 are respectively provided on both sides of the output end of the intermediate cycloid gear 120. The external cycloid teeth two 121 are meshed with the internal cycloid teeth one 111, and the internal cycloid teeth three 122 are meshed with the external cycloid teeth four 141. A motor shaft 150 penetrating the hub motor 100 is provided at the center of the rotor shaft 130. The motor stator 101 is installed in the hub motor housing 190 through a stator housing. When in use, the motor shaft 150 is installed in the rear flat fork of the bicycle to realize the fixation of the hub motor 100 and the vehicle body.

[0040] In this embodiment, the input end of the intermediate cycloid gear 120 is positioned and installed on the rotor shaft 130 through a bearing 200. The position where the rotor shaft 130 positions and installs the bearing 200 is eccentrically arranged with respect to the axis of the rotor shaft. The rotor shaft 130 drives the intermediate cycloid gear 120 to perform planetary rotation relative to the external cycloid gear 110 through the bearing 200.

[0041] In this embodiment, the motor stator 101 is connected to the stator housing 103, the stator housing 103 is connected to the motor shaft 150, the motor rotor 102 is fixedly installed on the rotor shaft 130, and the rotor shaft 130 is installed on the motor shaft 150 through bearings on both sides.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cycloid output gear 140 is installed on the output gear 170 through a bearing type one-way clutch 160, and the output gear 170 is installed on the rotor shaft 130 through a bearing.

[0043] In this embodiment, the output gear 170 is installed on the hub motor housing 190 through bolts. A flywheel installation base 180 is provided between the output gear 170 and the hub motor housing 190. The bolts pass through the flywheel installation base 180, and the flywheel installation base 180 is coaxial with the motor shaft 150.

[0044] The hub motor housing 190 of this embodiment includes a left structural housing 191 and a right cover 192. The left structural housing 191 is mounted on the motor shaft 150 through a bearing and is sealed with an oil seal. The right cover 192 is mounted on the left structural housing 191 and presses the flywheel mounting base 180.

[0045] The external cycloid fixed housing of this embodiment is positioned and mounted on the right cover 192 through a bearing.

[0046] The output wheel and the cycloid output wheel of this embodiment are connected by a bearing one-way clutch.

[0047] The working principle of this embodiment is divided into different driving modes, which are specifically as follows:

[0048] The bearing one-way clutch arranged inside the hub motor can automatically engage and disengage according to the motor drive and human drive conditions, realizing different motion modes.

[0049] When electrically driven: The motor rotor 102 drives the rotor shaft 130 to rotate. The rotational motion of the rotor shaft 130 drives the intermediate cycloid gear 120 to perform planetary rotation relative to the external cycloid gear 110 through the eccentric shaft setting structure. At the same time, the intermediate cycloid gear 120 drives the cycloid output gear 140 to perform output rotation. At this time, the bearing one-way clutch 160 is engaged, so the cycloid output gear 140 can drive the output gear 170 to rotate. The output gear is connected to the hub motor housing, so the rotation of the motor drives the rotation of this hub motor.

[0050] When pedaling manually: When pedaling manually, the power of the pedal is transmitted to the flywheel through the chainring and chain. At this time, the flywheel drives the flywheel mounting seat to rotate through the internal ratchet mechanism. The flywheel mounting seat is fixedly mounted on the hub motor housing, so it can drive the wheel to rotate and at the same time drive the output gear 170 fixedly mounted on the housing to rotate. At this time, the bearing one-way clutch 160 inside the hub motor is disengaged, so the rotation of the output gear 170 will not drive the rotation of the cycloid reduction mechanism and the motor shaft connected thereto, realizing that when pedaling manually, it will not drive the reduction mechanism and the motor part inside the hub motor to rotate, achieving the same riding effect as an ordinary bicycle.

[0051] The above-described embodiments only express certain implementation manners of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention; it should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention; therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
