[0042]

[0043] A torque-limiting shock absorber 100 provided by an embodiment of the present application includes: a disk core 101, a driven disk 102, a disk hub 103, and a damping disk 104 that are arranged around the disk core 101 and are sequentially spaced apart along the first direction F1. The driven disk 102 and the damping disk 104 are connected to each other; the driven disk 102 is used to be installed on the flywheel of the engine, and the disk core 101 is used to connect to the rotating shaft of the motor; the torque-limiting shock absorber 100 further includes a spring 105 and a friction assembly 106. The spring 105 penetrates between the driven disk 102, the disk hub 103, and the damping disk 104 and is fixedly arranged along the first direction F1; the friction assembly 106 is arranged around the disk core 101 and is clamped between the disk hub 103 and the damping disk 104; the first direction F1 is parallel to the axis direction of the disk core 101. Specifically, the torque-limiting shock absorber 100 is installed between the engine and the motor. The driven disk 102 faces the engine and is installed on the flywheel of the engine. The damping disk 104 is arranged on the side facing the motor, and the disk core 101 is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor. The disk hub 103 is sleeved outside the disk core 101 and is in clamping fit with the disk core 101 to make the two rotate synchronously. When the engine outputs torque to drive the motor, it drives the driven disk 102 and the damping disk 104 to rotate, and at the same time compresses the spring 105. The spring 105 transmits torque to make the disk hub 103 rotate, so as to drive the disk core 101 and the motor to rotate. Among them, the friction assembly 106 is arranged between the disk hub 103 and the damping disk 104. When the transmitted torque is greater than the static friction torque between the friction assembly 106 and the disk hub 103, slip friction occurs between the friction assembly 106 and the disk hub 103, thereby providing overload protection for the entire hybrid power system.In this embodiment, by providing a core 101 and a driven disk 102, a hub 103, and a damping disk 104 that are arranged around the core 101 and are sequentially and spaced apart in the axial direction of the core 101, the driven disk 102 and the damping disk 104 are connected to each other. By providing the driven disk 102 for mounting on the flywheel of the engine and the core 101 for connecting to the rotating shaft of the motor, the spring 105 passes through between the driven disk 102, the hub 103, and the damping disk 104 and is fixedly arranged along the first direction F1, so as to realize the basic function of the torque-limiting damper 100 for transmitting torque; the friction assembly 106 is arranged around the core 101 and is clamped between the hub 103 and the damping disk 104, playing a role in overload protection. It should be noted that the traditional torque-limiting damper is provided with a front cover plate, a rear cover plate, and a disc spring, a pressure plate, a friction structure, and a driven disk assembly clamped between the front cover plate and the rear cover plate. The driven disk assembly includes structures such as a front damping disk, a rear damping disk, a core, a hub, and a spring. Thus, the friction structure is arranged on the outer ring of the driven disk assembly, and the radial installation dimension of the entire torque-limiting damper is relatively large. In this embodiment, the friction assembly 106 is arranged around the core 101 and is clamped between the hub 103 and the damping disk 104, that is, the friction assembly 106 is built-in. And the driven disk 102 faces the engine and is mounted on the flywheel of the engine, the damping disk 104 is arranged on the side facing the motor, and the core 101 is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor, so that the radial installation dimension of the torque-limiting damper 100 is reduced, the structure is compact, and it is beneficial to the layout of the vehicle power system.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, a plurality of springs 105 are provided, and the plurality of springs 105 are spaced apart and arranged on the periphery of the friction assembly 106. In a specific embodiment, 4 springs 105 are provided, and the 4 springs 105 are evenly spaced and arranged on the periphery of the friction assembly 106. In other embodiments, the number of springs 105 can be reasonably set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit it here. Thus, by providing a plurality of springs 105 spaced apart and arranged on the periphery of the friction assembly 106, the radial dimension of the friction assembly 106 is relatively small, so that the structure of the torque-limiting damper 100 is compact.

[0045] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4, in some embodiments, the friction assembly 106 includes a first friction plate 1061, a second friction plate 1062, and a friction disc 1063 disposed around the disc core 101, and the friction disc 1063 is located between the first friction plate 1061 and the second friction plate 1062. Specifically, the first friction plate 1061 is located on the disc hub 103. By arranging the friction disc 1063 between the first friction plate 1061 and the second friction plate 1062, the friction disc 1063 is clamped and matched with the disc core 101 so that the friction disc 1063 rotates synchronously with the disc core 101. When the torque transmitted by the spring 105 is greater than the static friction torque between the friction assembly 106 and the disc hub 103, grinding occurs through the first friction plate 1061, the second friction plate 1062, and the friction disc 1063, thereby providing overload protection for the entire hybrid power system.

[0046] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the torque-limiting shock absorber 100 further includes an intermediate disc 107 disposed between the disc hub 103 and the shock-absorbing disc 104. The intermediate disc 107 is disposed around the disc core 101 and fixedly connected to the disc hub 103; the friction assembly 106 is clamped between the intermediate disc 107 and the disc hub 103. Specifically, the intermediate disc 107 and the disc hub 103 are fixedly connected by a rivet K. By arranging the intermediate disc 107 and the disc hub 103 to clamp the friction assembly 106, the friction assembly 106 is spaced from the shock-absorbing disc 104 at the same time to protect the shock-absorbing disc 104.

[0047] In some embodiments, the torque-limiting shock absorber 100 further includes a first disc spring 108. The first disc spring 108 is disposed around the disc core 101 and clamped between the friction assembly 106 and the intermediate disc 107. It should be noted that the first disc spring 108 has the ability to deform in the radial direction. When the friction assembly 106 is worn, the first disc spring 108 contracts in the radial direction to adjust the gap generated by friction of the friction assembly 106, so that the second friction plate 1062 always has a static friction torque relative to the first disc spring 108.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the torque-limiting shock absorber 100 further includes a first damping plate 109. The first damping plate 109 is disposed around the disc core 101 and located between the driven disc 102 and the disc hub 103. A part of the first damping plate 109 penetrates through the driven disc 102 so that the first damping plate 109 rotates synchronously with the driven disc 102. Specifically, by arranging the first damping plate 109 between the driven disc 102 and the disc hub 103, vibration absorption is performed on the disc hub 103 and the driven disc 102 to reduce energy impact.

[0049] In some embodiments, the torque-limiting shock absorber 100 further includes a second disc spring 110. The second disc spring 110 is disposed around the disc core 101 and clamped between the first damping plate 109 and the driven disc 102. It should be noted that the second disc spring 110 is a shock-absorbing disc spring, and the second disc spring 110 has the ability to deform in the radial direction. When axial vibration occurs between the driven disc 102 and the disc hub 103, the second disc spring 110 contracts or expands in the radial direction to reduce the collision or impact between the driven disc 102 and the first damping plate 109, thereby playing a role in shock absorption.

[0050] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the torque-limiting shock absorber 100 further includes a second damping plate 111. The second damping plate 111 is disposed around the disc core 101 and is located between the friction assembly 106 and the damping disc 104. A part of the second damping plate 111 penetrates through the damping disc 104 so that the second damping plate 111 rotates synchronously with the damping disc 104. Specifically, by disposing the second damping plate 111 between the friction assembly 106 and the damping disc 104, vibration absorption is performed on the friction assembly 106 and the damping disc 104 to reduce energy impact.

[0051] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the torque-limiting shock absorber 100 further includes a plurality of limiting blocks 112. The plurality of limiting blocks 112 are connected through the driven disc 102 and the damping disc 104 to make the damping disc 104 rotate synchronously with the driven disc 102. In a specific embodiment, there are 4 limiting blocks 112, and the 4 limiting blocks 112 are connected through the driven disc 102 and the damping disc 104 at evenly spaced intervals in the circumferential direction. In other embodiments, the number of limiting blocks 112 can be set according to actual situations. It should be noted that the limiting blocks 112 are respectively engaged with the driven disc 102 and the damping disc 104 in a clamping manner so that the damping disc 104 can rotate synchronously with the driven disc 102.

[0052] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, including an engine, a motor, and the torque-limiting shock absorber 100 as described in any one of the foregoing embodiments. The driven disc 102 is installed on the flywheel of the engine, and the disc core 101 is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor. Specifically, the driven disc 102 is disposed on the side facing the engine and is installed on the flywheel of the engine. The damping disc 104 is disposed on the side facing the motor, and the rotating shaft of the motor is connected to the disc core 101.

[0053] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification.

[0054] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
