[0013] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0014] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0015] Currently, in electric vehicles, both the input shaft of the electric vehicle's generator and the drive shaft powered by the motor will generate shaft current. The shaft current will be transmitted through the drive shaft to the bearings mounted on the drive shaft, and then transmitted to other parts through the bearings. However, when the current passes through the bearings, the metal bearings will produce electrical corrosion, which may cause the bearings to fail, thereby causing vehicle failure.
[0016] In view of this, if Figures 1-4 As shown, some embodiments of the present invention provide a transmission device, including a conductive mechanism 1, an insulating bearing 3, a connecting shaft 4 and a housing 5; the conductive mechanism 1 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 4, and the conductive mechanism 1 is electrically connected to the connecting shaft 4 and the housing 5 respectively, and the current on the connecting shaft 4 can be transmitted to the housing 5 through the conductive mechanism 1, and the housing 5 is set to be grounded; the insulating bearing 3 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 4, and the insulating bearing 3 is connected to the connecting shaft 4 and the housing 5 respectively, so that the connecting shaft 4 can be rotatably connected to the housing 5 through the insulating bearing 3.
[0017] In the above embodiment, the insulating bearing 3 can be a ceramic ball bearing or a bearing with an insulating paint sprayed on the bearing surface. The insulating bearing 3 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 4 and embedded in the inner wall of the housing 5 so that the connecting shaft 4 can rotate relative to the housing 5 through the insulating bearing 3. The connecting shaft 4 rotates more smoothly and avoids the current on the connecting shaft 4 from being directed to the housing 5 through the insulating bearing 3. The housing 5 can be cast with conductive metal. There can be one insulating bearing 3 or multiple insulating bearings 3.

Current on the connecting shaft 4 can be conducted to the housing 5 via the conductive mechanism 1, and the housing 5 is grounded, thereby enabling the current on the connecting shaft 4 to be conducted away. The connecting shaft 4 can be rotatably connected to the housing 5 via the insulating bearing 3, thereby enabling the rotation of the connecting shaft 4. Furthermore, the insulating bearing 3 also prevents electrical corrosion caused by current passing through the bearing. This solves the technical problem of vehicle failure caused by electrical corrosion of bearings in the prior art, achieving the technical effect of conducting current away from the connecting shaft 4 while preventing the bearing from being corroded, making the vehicle less susceptible to failure.
