Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of backstops, in particular to a one-way clutch for electric vehicles. Background Technique

[0002] Roller type one-way clutches are commonly used in electric vehicles, using rollers to lock the outer ring and the inner ring to transmit power.

[0003] For the one-way clutch in the prior art, there needs to be a certain gap between the inner and outer rings during installation. When the minimum gap is 0.025, radial runout is likely to occur, affecting the acting force of the rollers, and it is prone to cracking and jamming. This device is an eccentric structure. If the cutting angle of the eccentric structure is too large or too small, jamming and slipping will occur. When the cutting angle is reasonable, there must be enough space between the inner and outer rings for the rollers. Therefore, the number distribution of the rollers is limited. Thus, each roller bears a large force during use and is prone to cracking.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a one-way clutch for electric vehicles to solve the problem of short service life caused by easy cracking as mentioned above.

[0005] The above information disclosed in this background technique is only used to increase the understanding of the background technique of the utility model. Therefore, it may include prior art that is not known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Content of the Utility Model

A plurality of rollers and special-shaped rolling bodies are arranged in the gap between the outer ring and the inner ring;

[0008] The roller includes a cylindrical roller and a first groove opened in the middle of the cylindrical roller;

[0009] The special-shaped rolling body includes a peach-shaped roller and a second groove opened on the peach-shaped roller. The peach-shaped roller also has an outer contact surface close to the outer ring and an inner contact surface close to the inner ring;

[0010] A ring spring is further arranged in the gap between the outer ring and the inner ring. The ring spring is located outside all the cylindrical rollers and the peach-shaped rollers and is located at the first groove and the second groove.

[0011] Preferably, the cylindrical rollers and the peach-shaped rollers are distributed at intervals in the gap between the outer ring and the inner ring.

[0012] Preferably, the clearance between the cylindrical roller and the outer ring and the inner ring is less than 0.01 mm.

[0013] Preferably, the fixing ring includes a ring body and a first circular opening formed in the ring body, and the diameter of the first circular opening is smaller than the diameter of the inner ring.

[0014] Preferably, the outer ring includes an outer sleeve ring, the outer sleeve ring is provided with a second circular opening, which is concentric with the first circular opening and has a diameter larger than that of the first circular opening;

[0015] The inner ring is arranged in the second circular opening.

[0016] Preferably, the inner ring includes an inscribed ring, and an installation opening is provided at the center of the inscribed ring;

[0017] The inscribed ring is arranged in the second circular opening, and the diameter of the installation opening is smaller than that of the first circular opening.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0019] (1) Through the design of the structure of the present utility model, a plurality of rollers and special-shaped rolling bodies can be distributed in the one-way clutch, so that the distance between the cylindrical roller and the outer ring and the inner ring can be less than 0.01 mm, thus avoiding radial runout, overcoming the characteristics of the eccentric structure of the prior art, reducing the problems of jamming and slipping, and a large number of rollers and special-shaped rolling bodies can be distributed in the outer ring and the inner ring, so that the force on each special-shaped rolling body is uniform. In summary, the possibility of cracking is reduced, and thus the service life is improved.

[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying 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. It should be noted that the drawings are schematic and not drawn to scale. For the sake of clarity and convenience in the figure, the relative sizes and proportions of the parts shown in the figure are exaggerated or reduced in size for illustration, and any size is only exemplary and not limiting.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , a one-way clutch for an electric vehicle, comprising: two fixed rings 1, and an outer ring 3 and an inner ring 4 fastened between the two fixed rings 1 by bolts 2 and arranged concentrically. A roller 5 and a special-shaped rolling element 6 are arranged in the gap between the outer ring 3 and the inner ring 4; the roller 5 includes a cylindrical roller 51 and a first groove 52 opened in the middle of the cylindrical roller 51; the special-shaped rolling element 6 includes a peach-shaped roller 61 and a second groove 62 opened in the peach-shaped roller 61. The peach-shaped roller 61 also has an outer contact surface 63 close to the outer ring 3 and an inner contact surface 64 close to the inner ring 4; an annular spring 7 is also arranged in the gap between the outer ring 3 and the inner ring 4. The annular spring 7 is located outside all the cylindrical rollers 51 and the peach-shaped rollers 61 and is located at the first groove 52 and the second groove 62. The cylindrical rollers 51 and the peach-shaped rollers 61 are distributed at intervals in the gap between the outer ring 3 and the inner ring 4, and the gap between the cylindrical roller 51 and the outer ring 3 and the inner ring 4 is less than 0.01 mm.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the clearance between the cylindrical roller 51 and the outer ring 3 and the inner ring 4 is within 0.01 mm, preventing radial runout. Moreover, the above structure overcomes the drawback in the prior art that the rollers require a relatively large amount of space. Therefore, multiple cylindrical rollers 51 and peach-shaped rollers 61 can be installed, improving the eccentric structure of the one-way clutch in the prior art. As a result, jamming and slipping can be avoided. Thus, all the peach-shaped rollers 61 have the same acting force and the same deflection angle, with uniform stress and uniform wear, effectively extending its service life and preventing cracking.

[0034] In the above technical solution, when the outer sleeve ring 31 and the inner connecting ring 41 are in transmission, the inner contact surface 64 is clamped with the inner connecting ring 41, so they can rotate simultaneously. When rotating in the opposite direction, there is a certain clearance between the inner connecting ring 41 and the inner contact surface 64, so the rotation of the outer sleeve ring 31 will not drive the rotation of the inner connecting ring 41.

[0035] Among them, the fixing ring 1 includes a ring body 11 and a first circular opening 12 formed in the ring body 11. The diameter of the first circular opening 12 is smaller than the diameter of the inner ring 4. The outer ring 3 includes an outer sleeve ring 31. The outer sleeve ring 31 is provided with a second circular opening 32, which is concentric with the first circular opening 12 and has a diameter larger than that of the first circular opening 12. The inner ring 4 is arranged in the second circular opening 32. The inner ring 4 includes an inner connecting ring 41. An installation opening 42 is provided at the center of the inner connecting ring 41. The inner connecting ring 41 is arranged in the second circular opening 32, and the diameter of the installation opening 42 is smaller than that of the first circular opening 12.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, it can ensure that the cylindrical roller 51 and the peach-shaped roller 61 are stably installed between the outer sleeve ring 31 and the inner connecting ring 41.

[0037] In this embodiment, the ratio of the rollers 5 to the special-shaped rolling elements 6 is 1:2, and one roller 5 is arranged every two special-shaped rolling elements 6.

[0038] Working principle: When the outer ring 3 rotates in one direction and the inner ring 4 remains stationary, there is a certain clearance between the inner connecting ring 41 and the inner contact surface 64 of the peach-shaped roller 61. When the outer ring 3 rotates in the other direction, the inner contact surface 64 of the peach-shaped roller 61 will be clamped with the inner connecting ring 41, thus driving the peach-shaped roller 61 to rotate simultaneously.
