[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The reducer 40 includes a reducer housing and a reduction gear set. The reducer housing includes a right reducer housing 4 and a left reducer housing 5. The right reducer housing 4 and the left reducer housing 5 are interlocked and enclosed to form a reduction accommodating chamber. The reduction gear set is arranged in the reduction accommodating chamber. The right reducer housing 4 and the left reducer housing 5 are penetrated by an input hole 51. The input hole 51 is communicated with the reduction accommodating chamber. The motor shaft 142 is provided with a driving tooth 145 on the side of the front bearing 16 close to the rear bearing 13. The motor shaft 142 is provided with a brake part 19 on the side of the front bearing 16 away from the rear bearing 13. The front end 144 of the motor shaft 142 passes through the input hole 51. The bearing 16 and the driving tooth 145 are located in the input hole 51, and the two ends of the input hole 51 are respectively provided with an oil seal 15 and an oil seal 17. The motor shaft 142 passes through the oil seal 15 and the oil seal 17. The brake key 18 is provided on the braking part 19. The brake key 18 is connected to the gear sleeve of the electromagnetic brake 6. The electromagnetic brake 6 and the braking part 19 are located outside the input hole 51. It can be seen that the gear sleeve, braking part 19, front bearing 16, driving tooth 145, rear bearing 13 and rotary transformer 28 of the electromagnetic brake 6 in this case are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the motor shaft 142, which can balance the center of gravity of the drive motor and the reducer and reduce the excessive length of the cantilever at the motor end.

[0025] The reduction gear set includes a first reduction gear 20, a second reduction gear 21 and an output shaft gear 25. The driving gear 145, the first reduction gear 20, the second reduction gear 21 and the output shaft gear 25 are meshed and connected in sequence. The second reduction gear 21 is supported by a bearing 22, and the output shaft gear 25 is supported by an output shaft bearing 24. The left axle assembly includes a left axle tube 71, a left half shaft 81 and a left brake drum 73. The right axle assembly includes a right axle tube 72, a right half shaft 82 and a right brake drum 74. The differential 26 is connected to the output shaft gear 25, the left half shaft 81 and the right half shaft. The shafts 82, that is, the internal splines of the output shaft gear 25, the internal splines of the differential 26 are connected to the external splines of the left half-shaft 81 and the external splines of the right half-shaft 82, the left brake drum 73 is connected to the left half-shaft 81, the right brake drum 74 is connected to the right half-shaft 82, the left bridge tube 71 and the right bridge tube 72 are respectively located on the horizontal sides of the reducer housing and are respectively connected to the reducer housing, the left bridge tube 71 is connected to the left reducer housing 5, the right bridge tube 72 is connected to the right reducer housing 4, the two half-shaft oil seals 23, the left half-shaft 81, and the right half-shaft 82 constitute the power output end sealing structure.

[0026] Of course, in addition to this embodiment, there are many ways to arrange the reduction gear set. The corresponding reduction ratio and reduction gear can be set according to actual product requirements, and the differential can also be set according to requirements. The left half shaft and the right half shaft can also be directly connected to the reduction gear set.

[0027] The vehicle includes an electric drive assembly as described above, and the vehicle can be a new energy electric car, a new energy electric bus, a new energy electric truck, a new energy electric cleaning vehicle, a new energy electric rail vehicle, a new energy electric flying vehicle, a new energy electric shipping vehicle, etc.

[0028] New energy vehicles are equipped with an electric drive assembly, which includes a drive motor, a reducer and an electromagnetic brake. The electromagnetic brake is a device that uses electromagnetic force to achieve braking function. It is mainly composed of electromagnets, brake discs, brake springs and other components. When the electromagnet is energized, the electromagnetic force generated attracts the brake disc, making the brake disc fit tightly against the brake hub, thereby achieving the braking function.

[0029] When the vehicle starts, the electromagnetic brake is energized, disengaging the brake and allowing the motor to rotate, driving the vehicle. When the vehicle stops, the electromagnetic brake is de-energized to prevent the vehicle from sliding, locking it in place and immobilizing the vehicle. This arrangement of the electromagnetic brake enables efficient automatic parking and improves the overall balance and smooth operation of the electric drive assembly.

[0030] As can be seen from the above, the electromagnetic brake, front bearing, drive gear and rear bearing of this case are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the motor shaft. Therefore, the braking of the electromagnetic brake directly brakes the motor shaft, thereby realizing the automatic parking function while achieving efficient braking. Moreover, since the electromagnetic brake is arranged at the front end of the motor shaft and is located on the outside of the reducer housing, and the electromagnetic brake and the motor housing are respectively located at the two ends of the input hole, the center of gravity of the drive motor and the reducer can be balanced, reducing the problem of excessive cantilever at the motor end and affected structural strength.
