Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hub motors, and in particular to a hub assembly structure. Background Art

[0002] A hub motor is a drive system that installs an electric motor directly inside the vehicle's wheel hub, saving a lot of space in the vehicle and thereby improving the vehicle's endurance efficiency.

[0003] Existing technologies include the utility model with announcement number CN111293819B, which discloses a hub motor. The patent adopts a motor shaft, a stator, a casing, a rotor, and a guide plate. The guide plate has a windward surface, which is used to guide the airflow in the heat dissipation channel to blow toward the heat-generating components in the casing to dissipate heat from the heat-generating components in the casing. The guide plate is movably arranged on the casing. Compared with the direct ventilation method in the prior art, the guide plate of the utility model guides the airflow toward the heat-generating components in the casing, which can better dissipate heat from the heat-generating components in the casing. At the same time, the guide plate is movably arranged on the casing. When the casing rotates, under the action of gravity, the posture of the guide plate changes, changing the position of the airflow blowing toward the heat-generating components in the casing, so that the heat of the heat-generating components in the casing is more evenly heated, and the heat dissipation effect of the heat-generating airflow in the casing on the heat-generating components in the casing is uniform, solving the technical problem of poor heat dissipation effect caused by poor uniformity of the internal heat dissipation airflow in the current air-cooled hub motor.

[0004] The inventor of the utility model discovered in daily use that when using a hub motor, because the inner rotor motor generates extremely high heat during use, the use of air cooling has a low heat dissipation efficiency due to the small contact surface, and the small internal control space makes it impossible to install water cooling. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings in the prior art and to propose a wheel hub assembly structure.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a wheel hub assembly structure, including a tire, a wheel hub body is provided inside the tire, the tire is sleeved on the wheel hub body, a connecting shaft is installed inside the wheel hub body, a connecting sleeve is installed inside the connecting shaft, a rotor ring is installed inside the connecting sleeve, a stator ring is installed inside the rotor ring, the rotor ring is rotatably connected to the stator ring, a plurality of holes are opened on the inner wall of the stator ring, a connecting piece is installed at one end of the connecting shaft, and the connecting piece is connected to the connecting shaft.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the hub motor is running, the stator ring is connected and fixed to the frame, and then the rotor ring rotates on the surface of the stator ring, the rotor ring drives the connecting sleeve to rotate, the connecting sleeve drives the connecting shaft to rotate, the connecting shaft drives the connecting part and the tire to rotate, and the friction force generated between the tire and the contact surface drives the vehicle to move.

[0008] Preferably, the inner walls of the rotor and the stator are each provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes, and the heat dissipation holes on the stator and the rotor are interconnected.

[0009] By adopting this preferred solution, the heat dissipation holes can accelerate the heat dissipation of the hub motor, which can increase the horsepower of the hub motor in disguise.

[0010] Preferably, the rotor is made of silicon steel sheet.

[0011] Preferably, the hub body is made of titanium alloy, and the inner diameter of the hub body is hollow.

[0012] Preferably, the tire comprises, from the inside to the outside, an airtight layer, a carcass cord layer, two steel belt layers, and an outermost tread layer and sidewall layer.

[0013] Preferably, the tire beads on the inner side are all made of steel wire.

[0014] Preferably, two circles of apex rubber are provided between the steel belt layer and the carcass cord layer.

[0015] Preferably, a nylon cap belt is provided between the tread layer and the steel belt layer.

[0016] Preferably, the tread layer and the sidewall layer are both made of rubber.

[0017] Preferably, the steel belt layer is composed of steel wires interlaced and woven.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. In the present invention, by setting up an overall structure, the stator is inside and the rotor is outside, which replaces the traditional distribution method of the stator inside the outer rotor. When the outer rotor motor is cooled by air, the contact surface is larger than that of the inner rotor, so the heat dissipation efficiency of the outer rotor motor is higher than that of the inner rotor motor. Moreover, because the interior of the outer rotor is relatively empty, water cooling can be installed on the inner wall of the outer rotor motor. Therefore, the outer rotor is more advanced in heat dissipation. Moreover, the power of the hub motor depends on the heat dissipation efficiency. The better the heat dissipation efficiency, the greater the power it can carry. Therefore, under the same size, the power of the outer rotor motor is higher. The rate is greater than that of the inner rotor motor, and the advantage of the inner and outer rotor hub motor over the wheel hub driven by the current engine drive shaft is that the rotation range is larger, so it can complete difficult turns on some narrow roads, which is not available in the wheel hub driven by the existing engine drive shaft. In summary, the outer rotor motor is ahead of the inner rotor motor in terms of power and heat dissipation efficiency, and the advantage of the embedded type is that the magnetic circuit design is better, the salient pole rate is high, the torque is large, and the weak magnetic speed expansion capability is strong. The power density and torque density of the motor are very high, and the embedded wheel hub is lighter, the performance will be significantly improved, the volume will be smaller, and the cost will be greatly reduced.
