DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0028] Rather, the present invention encompasses any alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and solutions within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the claims. Furthermore, to facilitate a better understanding of the present invention, certain specific details are detailed below in the detailed description of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to fully understand the present invention without these details.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a rim of an electric vehicle hub motor splits the integrated hub into multiple components, reduces the material weight of its connection structure, and saves material costs.
[0030] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3The figure shows a rim for an electric vehicle hub motor, comprising: a rim 1, a magnetic ring 2, a first end cap 3, and a second end cap 4. The rim 1 is made of fully sealed material and primarily mates with the tire for mounting. The magnetic ring 2 is annular, with its inner wall used to secure magnetic steel sheets. All components are welded together. Compared to an integrated hub, this new design simplifies the hub mold manufacturing process, reducing costs. The hub is connected by welding, simplifying operation and reducing manufacturing costs.
[0031] The rim 1 of the present invention includes an inner ring portion 11, and the two sides of the inner ring portion 11 are respectively connected to a left ring portion 12 and a right ring portion 13. The left ring portion 12 and the right ring portion 13 are symmetrical structures. The left ring portion 12 and the right ring portion 13 and the inner ring portion 11 surround to form a receiving groove 10, and the receiving groove 10 is used to accommodate and place a tire.
[0032] The magnetic ring 2 is connected to the inner wall of the inner ring 11. The magnetic ring 2 and the inner ring 11 are connected by welding, and the width of the magnetic ring 2 is greater than the width of the inner ring 11. The magnetic ring 2 is used to fix the magnetic steel sheet. The width of the magnetic ring 2 is greater than the width of the inner ring 11. The excess part of the magnetic ring 2 is used to be fixed with the first end cover 3 and the second end cover 4. The first end cover 3 is fixed between the left ring 12 and the magnetic ring 2; the second end cover 4 is fixed between the right ring 13 and the magnetic ring 2.
[0033] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, the magnetic conductive ring 2 of the present invention includes a middle supporting portion 21 and two side connecting portions 22. In order to save costs, the magnetic conductive ring 2 is made of a single plate wound into a circle, that is, a number of equal parts of teeth are cut from a whole steel plate, and the ends of the magnetic conductive ring 2 are wound into a ring shape and then welded together, that is, the entire middle supporting portion 21 and the two side connecting portions 22 are an integrated structure.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the first end cover 3 and the second end cover 4 are fixed on the two side connection parts 22 respectively.
[0035] The width of the middle support portion 21 is the same as that of the inner ring portion 11 . The middle support portion 21 and the inner ring portion 11 are connected together, and the two side connection portions 22 are located on the inner side of the left ring portion 12 or the right ring portion 13 respectively.
[0036] In order to facilitate installation, the shapes of the first end cover 3 and the second end cover 4 can be set to be the same, and the first end cover 3 and the second end cover 4 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner ring portion 11.
[0037] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6As shown, the first end cap 3 and the second end cap 4 of the present invention are symmetrical structures, each including a bottom welding plate 31 and a support plate 32. The lower end of the support plate 32 is connected to the bottom welding plate 31, and the upper end of the support plate 32 abuts against the bottom surface of the rim 1. The two bottom welding plates 31 are respectively welded and fixed to the corresponding side connection parts 22. The bottom welding plates 31 not only play a connecting role, but also Figure 4 As shown, the overall thickness of the bottom welding plate 31 and the side connecting part 22 after welding is 5 mm. The bottom welding plate and the side connecting part are welded together, which increases the thickness of the magnetic steel fixing part, can reduce magnetic leakage, and improve the quality of the motor product.
[0038] The support plate 32 plays a supporting role and can be adjusted in length according to different wheel hub sizes.
[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, the support plate 32 is provided with a plurality of compression grooves 33 and connecting threaded holes 34. The compression grooves 33 not only reduce the weight of the support plate 32, but also provide an elastic margin when the wheel hub vibrates, increasing its flexibility and preventing the wheel hub from bending and deforming. The connecting threaded holes 34 can be connected to other structures.
[0040] Of course, if there are other special circumstances, other structures can be added to set the shapes of the first end cover 3 and the second end cover 4 to different shapes.
[0041] Example 2, as Figure 7 As shown, based on Example 1, further improvements are made, and the shapes of the first end cover 3 and the second end cover 4 are set to be different. The first end cover 3 includes a bottom welding plate 31 and a support plate 32. The bottom welding plate 31 is welded to the side connection part 22 on the left side thereof, and the second end cover 4 includes a side connection plate 41. The side connection plate 41 and the side connection part 22 away from the first end cover 3 are an integrally formed structure, which does not require welding and can ensure structural strength. It is convenient to align the middle support part 21 and weld it to the rim 1. In order to improve the strength, a stabilizing ring 42 is also provided on the inner side of the side connection plate 41, and the stabilizing ring 42 is sleeved on the side connection part 22.
[0042] The above describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the present invention, and these should also be regarded as belonging to the scope of protection of the present invention.
