Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an outer rotor motor for engine balancing, belonging to the technical field of automobile engines. Background Art
[0002] With technological advancements, people's demands for greater functionality and comfort in their vehicles are increasing. The engines of traditional fuel-powered vehicles produce significant vibration and noise during operation, creating a negative experience for both the surrounding environment and the driver and passengers. Engine vibration and noise are primarily caused by the reciprocating inertia of the pistons. Currently, most household fuel-powered vehicles are equipped with four-cylinder engines. These engines can effectively offset first-order reciprocating inertia by adjusting the piston phase. Second-order reciprocating inertia is the primary cause of engine noise and vibration.
[0003] An existing Chinese patent, published with publication number CN205260134U, proposes a "second-order reciprocating inertia force balancing mechanism for gasoline engines." The mechanism includes a timing chain, a drive sprocket, a crankshaft sprocket, and balance shaft sprockets I and II, all located on the side of the engine. Key technical features include: the drive sprocket, balance shaft sprocket II, and crankshaft sprocket are connected by a timing chain to form a triangular structure. A tensioner is positioned within the triangular structure. A vibration damper is provided on the timing chain between the drive sprocket and balance shaft sprocket II. Balance shaft sprocket I is located at the bottom of the timing chain between the drive sprocket and crankshaft sprocket, meshing with the drive sprocket. This mechanism fundamentally reduces the vibration amplitude of the second-order reciprocating inertia force and gasoline engine noise, thereby improving engine performance.
[0004] The above-mentioned balancing mechanism requires a complex gear set mechanism, occupies a large space, and requires corresponding phase angles during assembly. The operation is cumbersome and the degree of intelligence is not high. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an outer rotor motor with a compact structure that does not require a complex gear set mechanism and does not require corresponding phase angles during assembly. At the same time, a controller is used to control the reciprocating inertia force more intelligently, which is specially used to balance the vibration of the engine, so as to effectively offset the second-order reciprocating inertia torque and improve the vibration and noise of the engine.
