Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric vehicle equipment, in particular to a traction differential integrated electric drive axle. Background Art
[0002] In today's electric vehicle market, with the exception of in-wheel motors, the primary transmission method is for the motor to output power to the drive shaft, which then transmits it to the reduction gearbox, which drives the differential. The differential then drives the axle gears, which are then transmitted to the wheels through the axles to propel the vehicle. This results in high energy consumption and a tendency for resonance in electric vehicles. The most advanced technology currently uses in-wheel motors or wheel-mounted motors, which utilize chip differentials for cornering. However, when the road surface is uneven, the differential is ineffective, easily causing the vehicle to roll over and resulting in a low safety factor. Therefore, electric drive axles with integrated traction differentials are urgently needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
