Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric drive axle equipment, in particular to an integrated electric drive axle. Background Art
[0002] Electric vehicles primarily use a motor to output power to a drive shaft, which then transmits it to a differential and ultimately to the wheels, driving the vehicle. This results in high energy consumption and a tendency to resonance. Currently, the most advanced technology uses in-wheel hub motors or wheel-side motors, which utilize chip differentials for cornering. However, these differentials are ineffective on uneven surfaces, easily causing the vehicle to roll over and resulting in a low safety factor. Therefore, an integrated electric drive axle is urgently needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the hollow motor main shaft, reduction gear housing, drive axle left end cover and drive axle right end cover are arranged in a straight line through the first half-shaft and the second half-shaft. The above-mentioned straight line arrangement makes the drive motor, reduction system and differential a trinity, which not only reduces the volume, but also reduces the noise, while also improving the stability of equipment operation.
[0009] Preferably, there are multiple groups of gear support shafts, and the gear support shafts are evenly distributed on the middle connecting plate. The side end centers of the gear support shafts are fixed by the support rings.

[0011] Preferably, the combined gear pinion is meshedly connected with the inner ring gear, and the inner ring gear transmits power to the planetary gear half-shaft gear assembly through the left differential case and the right differential case, which can effectively enhance the torque output by subsequent equipment, thereby improving the starting and climbing strength of the electric vehicle.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0013] 1. The transmission method adopted by the utility model can effectively reduce energy consumption, reduce resonance, and improve safety performance. It integrates the drive motor, reduction system and differential into a trinity, which not only reduces the volume but also reduces noise.

[0015] 3. The support ring in the utility model has the function of supporting the combined gear support shaft, making the combined gear support shaft not easy to deform, twist and loosen, thereby increasing the service life of the electric drive axle of the electric vehicle, and can also synchronize the combined wheel deceleration with the differential, thereby improving the transmission efficiency, and at the same time making the power machine assembly more compact and reducing the space occupancy rate.
[0016] 4. The utility model has the advantages of low noise, low resonance, small size, higher energy saving and good safety performance. At the same time, the three-in-one structure of the drive motor, reduction system and differential can facilitate subsequent quick and convenient maintenance operations. During maintenance, the gear box housing and the connecting plate are separated, and then the accessories can be quickly and conveniently replaced, which effectively improves the convenience of subsequent inspection and maintenance of the equipment.
