Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical fields of speed reduction mechanisms and in-wheel motors, and particularly, to a double cycloid speed reduction mechanism and an in-wheel motor adopting the double cycloid speed reduction mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In-wheel motor technology, also known as in-wheel motor technology, is a technology that places the electric motor used to drive an automobile inside the wheel rim and outside the wheel hub. Its greatest feature is that it integrates the power, transmission, and braking devices into the wheel hub, thus greatly simplifying the mechanical part of the electric vehicle. In the transmission device, the speed reducer is one of the most important components. As a most common speed reduction mechanism, the gear speed reducer is applied to different electric vehicles and is also used in in-wheel motors.

[0003] Since the in-wheel motor integrates the power system in a limited wheel hub space as a whole, the overall design of the power system is highly intensive and has high requirements for space utilization. The existing in-wheel motor transmission mechanisms generally use gear reduction, but they have relatively high noise, are prone to wear, and have a relatively short service life.

[0004] After retrieval, there is a Chinese invention patent with the patent number CN116123257A, which discloses a cycloid gear and helical gear two-stage ultra-high reduction ratio motor system, including a motor, a gearbox assembly, and an output shaft. The gearbox assembly includes a box body and a transmission mechanism installed in the box body. The motor shaft of the motor is connected to the transmission mechanism to drive the transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is connected to the output shaft to drive the output shaft. The axis of the motor shaft is parallel to the axis of the output shaft; the transmission mechanism includes a cycloid pinwheel reduction assembly, a small gear, and a large gear. The cycloid pinwheel reduction assembly includes misaligned double eccentric sleeves, two cycloid gears respectively rotatably installed on the double eccentric sleeves, and a cycloid output shaft connected to the two cycloid gears. There is a cycloid internal tooth in the box body that differentially meshes with the cycloid gear. The double eccentric sleeve is sleeved on the motor shaft. The cycloid output shaft is connected to the small gear to drive the small gear. The small gear and the large gear are helical gears and mesh with each other. The large gear is connected to the output shaft to drive the output shaft. The above patent does not solve the problems of relatively high noise, being prone to wear, and having a relatively short service life. Summary of the Utility Model
