[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the motor structure of the electronic mechanical brake system of the present invention includes a motor body and a speed reduction mechanism.

[0028] The motor body includes a housing 11 , an end cover 12 , a motor shaft 13 , a rotor 14 , a stator 15 , a first bearing 16 and a second bearing 17 .

[0029] The housing 11 has a hollow cavity with one end open. The end cover 12 is fixedly disposed at the open end of the cavity to close the cavity of the housing 11 .

[0030] There are many ways to fix the end cover 12 to the housing 11, such as by laser welding; or by bolts.

[0031] The motor shaft 13 is rotatably disposed on the end cover 12 . Most of the motor shaft 13 is located in the cavity of the housing 11 , and one end thereof passes through the end cover 12 and extends to the outside of the cavity of the housing 11 .

[0032] The rotor 14 is located in the cavity of the housing 11 and is sleeved on the motor shaft 13. In this embodiment, the rotor 14 and the motor shaft 13 are connected by an interference fit, so that the rotor 14 and the motor shaft 13 rotate synchronously.

[0033] The stator 15 is located in the cavity of the housing 11 and is sleeved on the outside of the rotor 14 .

[0034] The first bearing 16 is disposed between the motor shaft 13 and the end cover 12 , and the first bearing 16 and the motor shaft 13 are connected by interference fit.

[0035] The second bearing 17 is disposed between the motor shaft 13 and the housing 11 , and the second bearing 17 and the motor shaft 13 are connected by interference fit.

[0036] The reduction mechanism is connected to or cooperates with the motor shaft 13, so that when the motor shaft 13 rotates, the reduction mechanism is driven to operate, and the reduction mechanism acts on the brake caliper mechanism through the mechanical transmission mechanism to lock the vehicle tires and perform braking.

[0037] The reduction mechanism is positioned outside the cavity of the housing 11 and integrated with the end cap 12. This integration of the reduction mechanism and the motor body results in a compact and simple overall structure, saving space. Furthermore, the motor shaft 13 and the reduction mechanism are mounted on the same component, the end cap 12, ensuring high positioning accuracy when connected to the reduction mechanism, improving transmission efficiency and enhancing structural strength.

[0038] The reduction mechanism includes a gear assembly, which includes a first gear 21 and a second gear 22. The first gear 21 is fixedly arranged on the motor shaft 13, and the second gear 22 is rotatably arranged on the end cover 12. The first gear 21 is meshed with the second gear 22, and the diameter of the second gear 22 is larger than the diameter of the first gear 21.

[0039] Specifically, a first gear shaft 23 is fixedly provided on the end cover 12 , and the second gear 22 is sleeved on the first gear shaft 23 and is rotatable around the first gear shaft 23 .

[0040] The gear assembly further includes a third gear 24 , which is rotatably disposed on the end cover 12 . The third gear 24 is meshed with the second gear 22 , and a diameter of the third gear 24 is greater than a diameter of the second gear 22 .

[0041] Specifically, the reduction mechanism further includes a retaining frame 25 , which is fixedly connected to the end cover 12 . A second gear shaft 251 is fixedly provided on the retaining frame 25 . The third gear 24 is sleeved on the second gear shaft 251 and is rotatable around the second gear shaft 251 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the retainer 25 is pressed onto the end surface of the third gear 24.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first gear 21, the second gear 22 and the third gear 24 are all helical gears, which makes the speed reduction mechanism run smoothly, with low noise and good load-bearing capacity.

[0044] The gear assembly further includes a planetary gear assembly, which includes a sun gear 261 , planetary gears 262 and a planet carrier 263 .

[0045] The sun gear 261 is coaxially arranged with the third gear 24 , and the two are fixedly connected or integrally arranged, that is, the sun gear 261 is sleeved on the second gear shaft 251 and is rotatable around the second gear shaft 251 .

[0046] The planet carrier 263 is rotatably disposed on the end cover 12. In this embodiment, the planet carrier 263 is rotatably connected to the second gear shaft 251.

[0047] There are multiple planetary gears 262, and multiple third gear shafts 264 are provided on the planetary carrier 263. The third gear shafts 264 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the planetary gears 262. Each planetary gear 262 is sleeved on the third gear shaft 264 and can be rotatable around the third gear shaft 264. Each planetary gear 262 is respectively engaged with the sun gear 261.

[0048] The reduction mechanism further includes a large ring gear 27 , which is fixedly mounted on the end cover 12 . The sun gear 261 and the planetary gears 262 are located within the large ring gear 27 , and the planetary gears 262 are respectively engaged with the large ring gear 27 .

[0049] The motor structure further includes a cover 3 , which is fixedly connected to the end cover 12 , and the reduction mechanism is accommodated in a receiving space formed by the cover 3 and the end cover 12 .

[0050] In this embodiment, when the motor structure is assembled, the stator 15 is installed in the housing 11. The second bearing 17, the rotor 14, and the first bearing 16 are respectively press-fitted onto the motor shaft 13 by interference fit, and then the motor shaft 13 is installed on the end cover 12. The first gear 21 is press-fitted onto the end of the motor shaft 13 by interference fit, the second gear 22 is installed on the first gear shaft 23 by clearance fit, and the third gear 24 is installed on the end cover 12 through the retaining frame 25. The large ring gear 27 is press-fitted onto the end cover 12 by interference fit, and each planetary gear 262 is installed on the planetary carrier 263, and the planetary carrier 263 is connected to the retaining frame 25. Finally, after the end cover 12 is connected to the housing 11, the cover 3 is connected to the end cover 12.

[0051] The working principle of this motor structure is as follows:

[0052] When the motor shaft 13 rotates, it drives the first gear 21 to rotate synchronously. The meshing of the first gear 21 and the second gear 22 drives the second gear 22 to rotate about the first gear shaft 23. The meshing of the third gear 24 with the second gear 22 drives the third gear 24 to rotate. The rotation of the third gear 24 rotates the sun gear 261, which in turn drives the planetary gears 262 to rotate about the third gear shaft 264. Simultaneously, the planetary carrier 263 drives the planetary gears 262 to rotate, resulting in a low-speed, high-torque output.

[0053] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those familiar with the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications based on the spirit of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
