Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobile parts, in particular to a transmission and a vehicle having the same. Background Art
[0002] The transmission ensures proper power transfer to the wheels during cornering, allowing the inner and outer wheels to rotate at different speeds for smooth cornering. It also ensures proper power distribution to each drive wheel in complex road conditions (e.g., uneven or slippery surfaces), improving vehicle efficiency, safety, and stability.
[0003] An automotive planetary transmission primarily consists of a sun gear, planet gears, a ring gear, and a planet carrier. Compared to traditional transmissions, it features power splitting and a coaxial transmission structure with each sun gear, resulting in a compact structure and smaller size. Furthermore, because several planet gears are evenly distributed around the sun gear to share the load, each gear bears a smaller load, allowing for a smaller module and greater load-bearing capacity.
[0004] When a planetary transmission turns a corner, friction forms between the ring gear and the housing. To avoid this friction and extend the service life of the ring gear and housing, a gasket is required between the ring gear and the housing for protection. When the car switches from reverse to forward towing, the tooth side of the ring gear first contacts the tooth side of the housing, and then the end face of the ring gear contacts the end face of the housing. The gasket is installed between the ring gear and the housing. Affected by the floating force of the ring gear, the gasket has room to move radially and axially. If the gasket is not restricted in the radial direction, the ring gear will press against the gasket during the switch from reverse to forward towing. Coupled with external factors such as vibration, this may cause the gasket to bend or fold. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or position relationship indicated in the description is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the parts or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a transmission comprising a housing 10, a ring gear 20, and a washer 30. The ring gear 20 is disposed within the housing 10, and the washer 30 is disposed between the ring gear 20 and the housing 10. A clamping structure 40 is provided between the washer 30 and the housing 10, and the clamping structure 40 is capable of limiting radial movement of the washer 30. The clamping structure 40 provided between the washer 30 and the housing 10 limits the radial position of the washer 30, ensuring that the washer 30 will not be bent or folded during the process of the ring gear 20 switching from reverse to forward drag.
[0029] Furthermore, planetary gears and sun gears are provided inside the ring gear 20. The sun gear is located in the middle of the ring gear 20, and the planetary gears are located between the sun gear and the ring gear 20. The side of the sun gear is engaged with the planetary gears, and the middle of the sun gear is connected to the output shaft. The side of the planetary gear is engaged with the ring gear 20, and the middle of the planetary gear is connected to the planet carrier. The sun gear, planetary gears, planet carrier, ring gear 20, and housing 10 together constitute a planetary transmission. When the car turns, the planetary transmission can ensure that power is reasonably transmitted to the wheels, allowing the inner wheels and outer wheels to rotate at different speeds to ensure that the car can turn smoothly.
[0030] Please also refer to Figure 3The housing 10 is provided with a receiving groove 11 for accommodating components such as the ring gear 20, sun gear, planetary gears, and planetary carrier. Specifically, the receiving groove 11 is an axially stepped groove comprising a large groove section 111 and a small groove section 112. The inner diameter of the large groove section 111 is larger than that of the small groove section 112 and is approximately the same size as the outer diameter of the ring gear 20. The ring gear 20 is positioned within the large groove section 111. The inner wall of the large groove section 111 is provided with a mounting groove 113 parallel to its axial direction. The outer side of the ring gear 20 is provided with teeth 21, which are positioned within the mounting groove 113. A washer 30 is positioned on a stepped surface 114, with the end of the ring gear 20 resting on the washer 30. Since friction occurs between the ring gear 20 and the housing 10 when the planetary transmission turns, a washer 30 is used to protect the ring gear 20 and the housing 10 to prevent this friction and extend the service life of the two groups. However, when the gear ring 20 is in the process of switching from reverse drag to forward drag, the teeth 21 of the gear ring 20 first contact the mounting groove 113 on the housing 10, and then the end face of the gear ring 20 contacts the step surface 114. Therefore, the gear ring 20 will float in the radial and axial directions. Due to the floating force of the gear ring 20, the washer 30 will also have space to move in the radial and axial directions. When the washer 30 moves in the radial direction, the washer 30 will partially break away from the step surface 114. When the gear ring 20 is in the process of switching from reverse drag to forward drag, the gear ring 20 will press against the washer 30. Coupled with external factors such as vibration, the washer 30 may be bent or folded. Therefore, the present invention sets a clamping structure 40 between the washer 30 and the housing 10. The clamping structure 40 can limit the radial movement of the washer 30 and prevent the washer 30 from being bent or folded.
[0031] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The clamping structure 40 includes a claw 41 and a slot 42. The claw 41 is vertically arranged on the inner ring of the washer 30, and the slot 42 is arranged at the connection between the step surface 114 and the small groove section 112. The claw 41 is clamped in the slot 42. Since the claw 41 on the washer 30 is clamped in the slot 42 on the housing 10, the radial movement of the washer 30 can be restricted. The radial restriction can prevent the washer 30 from being bent or folded during the process of the gear ring 20 from reverse dragging to forward dragging, thereby protecting the integrity of the washer 30 and extending the service life of the gear ring 20 and the housing 10.
[0032] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7The latching slot 42 includes a first slot wall 421, a second slot wall 422, a third slot wall 423, and a fourth slot wall 424. The first slot wall 421 is parallel to the inner wall of the large slot section 111. The second slot wall 422 is connected to the bottom of the first slot wall 421 and extends vertically from the bottom of the first slot wall 421 into the interior of the housing 10. The third slot wall 423 and the fourth slot wall 424 are parallel to each other. The third slot wall 423 is connected to one end of the first slot wall 421 and the second slot wall 422. The fourth slot wall 424 is connected to the other ends of the first slot wall 421 and the second slot wall 422. The claw 41 includes a contact surface 411 and a clamping arm 412. The contact surface 411 is perpendicular to the inner ring of the gasket 30. The clamping arm 412 is provided on both sides of the contact surface 411 and extends from both sides of the contact surface 411 into the interior of the gasket 30. The distance between the two clamping arms 412 is comparable to the distance between the third groove wall 423 and the fourth groove wall 424. That is, the clamping arms 412 on both sides of the claw 41 can abut against the third groove wall 423 and the fourth groove wall 424 of the slot 42, limiting the radial movement of the gasket 30. The height of the contact surface 411 is comparable to the height of the first groove wall 421. That is, the contact surface 411 of the claw 41 can abut against the first groove wall 421 of the slot 41, further limiting the radial movement of the gasket 30 and ensuring that the claw 41 can be clamped in the slot 42 to limit the position of the gasket 30. It should be noted that during the production and assembly process, in order to prevent the angle of the claw 41 from tilting during transportation, it is necessary to use a tool to tighten it. This ensures that the contact surface 411 is in contact with the first groove wall 421 and the clamping arms 412 abut against the third groove wall 423 and the fourth groove wall 424, thereby limiting the radial movement of the gasket 30.
[0033] It should be noted that the number of claws 41 and slots 42 is not limited and can be set according to the force generated by the gear ring 20 in actual production. In the present utility model, there are four claws 41, which are evenly distributed on the inner ring of the washer 30. Correspondingly, there are four slots 42, which are evenly arranged at the connection between the step surface 114 and the small groove section 112 to limit the radial movement of the washer 30.
[0034] From the above description, it can be known that the transmission provided by the present invention provides a gasket 30 between the ring gear 20 and the housing 10 to improve the service life of the ring gear 20 and the housing 10, and at the same time, a clamping structure 40 is provided between the gasket 30 and the housing 10, and the clamping structure 40 includes a claw 41 arranged at the inner diameter of the gasket 30 and perpendicular to the end face of the gasket 30, and a clamping groove 42 arranged at the step surface 114 of the housing 10, the clamping arms 412 on both sides of the claw 41 abut against the two side walls of the clamping groove 42, and the fitting surface 411 of the claw 41 fits against the inner wall of the clamping groove 42, thereby limiting the radial movement of the gasket 30, and preventing the gasket 30 from being bent or folded in the process of the ring gear 20 from reverse dragging to forward dragging, thereby protecting the integrity of the gasket 30.
