Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of one-way clutches, in particular to a one-way clutch for electric vehicles. Background Art
[0002] The roller-type one-way clutch in the prior art is often used in electric vehicles, and uses rollers to lock the outer ring and the inner ring to transmit power.
[0003] However, the roller-type one-way clutch in the prior art must have a certain gap between its inner and outer rings. However, when the minimum gap is 0.025, radial movement is more likely to occur, affecting the force of the roller and easily causing problems such as cracking and jamming. Therefore, it is often necessary to inspect and maintain it. However, the roller-type one-way clutch in the prior art is inconvenient to disassemble, which makes maintenance difficult and affects its service life.
[0004] In addition, the Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN216009310U discloses a one-way clutch. Although the elastic structure space therein is reduced, its spring plate and roller need to be installed in the groove, resulting in a limited number of rollers that can be added, and therefore a limited effect of increasing stability.
[0005] Therefore, we propose a one-way clutch for electric vehicles to solve the above problems.
[0006] The above information disclosed in this background technology is only for enhancing understanding of the background technology of the present invention and therefore it may contain information that does not constitute the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

[0030] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. It should be noted that the drawings are schematic and not to scale. For the sake of clarity and convenience, the relative sizes and proportions of the parts shown in the drawings are exaggerated or reduced in size, and any sizes are only illustrative and not restrictive.
[0031] See also Figure 1-Figure 7A one-way clutch for electric vehicles comprises an outer ring 1 and an inner ring 2 sleeved at the center of the outer ring 1. The outer ring 1 is provided with a groove 11, and a roller 3 is provided in the groove 11. The outer ring 1 is fastened with two sets of fixing rings 4 by a first fixing bolt 8, and the fixing rings 4 are respectively located on both sides of the inner ring 2. A fixing block 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing ring 4 close to the inner ring 2. A spring 6 is provided on the fixing block 5. A positioning ring 7 is fixedly installed on the other end of the spring 6. The two ends of the roller 3 are respectively inserted into the positioning rings on both sides of the inner ring 2. In the ring 7, the grooves 11 are distributed in a circular array on the inner side of the outer ring 1. The number of rollers 3 is the same as the number of grooves 11, and each roller 3 is located in one of the grooves 11. A positioning ring 7 is installed at both ends of each roller 3. The groove 11 has an a surface 15 and a b surface 16. The perpendicular line from the center of the roller 3 to the b surface 16 has an angle with the axis of the spring 6 in the groove 11 at that location. The diameters of the upper and lower sides of the inner ring 2 are smaller than the diameter of the middle, and the difference is adapted to the thickness of the positioning ring 7.
[0032] The groove 11 has the same form as the groove setting of the roller-type one-way clutch in the prior art, and its width increases slightly from surface a to surface b, and the roller 3 is located in the groove 11. Compared with the prior art, its difference is: first, the axis of the spring 6 and the perpendicular line from the center of the roller 3 to the b surface have a certain angle, that is, the fixed block 5 is closer to the outer side surface of the outer ring 1, and the spring 6 and the roller 3 are not located in the groove 11 at the same time. This can provide more space for the outer ring 1, and more grooves 11 can be opened, more rollers 3 can be added, and the stability of use can be improved; second, the roller 3 is inserted into the positioning ring 7. Since it will directly contact the annular surface of the inner ring 2 during use, it will wear out after long-term use. In this way, the roller 3 can be removed and replaced with a new roller 3 when it is worn; third, the shape of the inner ring 2 is different from that of the prior art. Through such a design, the middle area of the inner ring 2 can contact the roller 3 during operation, while the two side areas will not directly contact the positioning ring 7.
[0033] The two side surfaces of the inner ring 2 are also sleeved on the fixing ring 4 to prevent separation.
[0034] The inner side surface of the outer ring 1 is also provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 12, and the contact surface between the fixed block 5 and the outer ring 1 is also provided with a spherical groove 13, and a ball 14 is provided in the spherical groove 13. The ball 14 partially passes through the spherical groove 13 and is located in the guide groove 12.
[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, a certain convenience can be provided for the installation and disassembly process.
[0036] The installation process is as follows: first, install a fixing ring 4 on one side of the outer ring 1 so that the ball 14 is located on the guide groove 12, then insert the roller 3 on the outer ring 9 on the fixing ring 4, slightly rotate the fixing ring 4 so that the roller 3 is close to the b-side 16, and put in the inner ring 2, then align the positioning ring 7 on the other fixing ring 4 with the roller 3, and install it, finally, slightly rotate the two fixing rings 4 again so that the holes for installing the first fixing bolt 8 on the outer ring 1 and the fixing ring 4 are aligned, and the first fixing bolt 8 is put in and tightened, so that the middle part of the inner ring 2 and the roller 3 are in the same plane, and the two sides are movably clamped in the fixing ring 4, so that the position of the inner ring 2 will not change.
[0037] An outer ring 9 is provided on both sides of the outer ring 1 , and the two outer rings 9 are fastened to the outer ring 1 by second fixing bolts 10 .
[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, a certain protection capability is provided to the fixing ring 4.
[0039] Example 2:
[0040] The difference from Example 1 is that the roller 3 and the positioning ring 7 can be clearance-fitted, so that the roller 3 can have a certain rotation ability when in use, reducing the friction between the roller 3 and the inner ring 2 and improving the service life.
[0041] Working principle: During inspection and maintenance, first unscrew the second fixing bolt 10 and remove the outer ring 9, then unscrew the first fixing bolt 8, remove the fixing ring 4, check and replace the roller 3, and then install it according to the above steps.
