[0026] The technical scheme in the utility model embodiment will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the utility model embodiment, obviously, the described embodiment is only part of the utility model embodiment, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiment in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of the utility model protection.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 2 The flywheel shell in the utility model embodiment can include flywheel shell body 10, the first installation area S1 for installing transmission gear and the second installation area S2 for installing hydraulic pump are provided, the third installation area S3 for setting installation structure 20 is provided in the end of flywheel shell body 10 close to second installation area S2, and flywheel shell body 10 can be connected with engine body by installation structure 20.
[0028] Reference Figure 2The mounting structure 20 in the embodiment can include a bolt through-hole bracket 21 and at least two bosses 22 connected between the bolt through-hole bracket 21 and the flywheel shell body 10. The at least two bosses 22 can be arranged along the axial direction of the bolt through-hole bracket 21, and the bosses 22 and the bolt through-hole bracket 21 can be coaxially arranged, for example. Each boss 22 is also provided with a mounting hole in communication with the bolt hole of the bolt through-hole bracket 21, so that when the flywheel shell is connected with the engine body, the bolt can pass through the bolt through-hole bracket 21 and the mounting hole to be fixed with the engine body.
[0029] In the embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the boss 22 can be circular, and the diameter of the boss 22 is greater than the outer diameter of the bolt through-hole bracket 21. In the direction of the bolt through-hole bracket 21 pointing to the boss 22, the diameter of each boss 22 gradually increases. That is, in any two adjacent bosses 22, the diameter of the lower boss 22 is greater than that of the upper boss 22.
[0030] When the engine is subjected to a shock impact, the force can be transmitted to the flywheel shell through the bolt. At this time, the force acting on the bolt through-hole bracket 21 can be regarded as a cantilever beam structure, that is, the closer to the root of the bolt through-hole bracket 21, the greater the force and the more obvious the stress concentration. When the structure of the boss 22 as in the embodiment is provided, the boss 22 is located at the root of the bolt through-hole bracket 21, and because the diameter of the boss 22 is greater than the outer diameter of the bolt through-hole bracket 21 and the diameters of the bosses 22 are different, the outer diameter of the mounting structure 20 is greater closer to the root, thereby achieving step-by-step structural reinforcement and making the stress distribution of the mounting structure 20 along the axial direction more uniform.
[0031] In addition, the lowermost boss 22 can greatly increase the cross-sectional area of the root of the mounting structure 20 and also make the stress distribution of the mounting structure 20 along the circumferential direction of the root more uniform. In this way, by providing at least two bosses 22 distributed along the axial direction in the embodiment, the strength of the bolt through-hole bracket 21 can be improved in both the axial and circumferential directions, thereby effectively reducing stress concentration.
[0032] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 The flywheel shell in the embodiment also includes a reinforcing rib 30, one part of which is connected to the flywheel shell body 10 and the other part of which is connected to the mounting structure 20. The overall structure of the reinforcing rib 30 can be a triangular structure, for example, one side of the reinforcing rib 30 is connected to the mounting structure 20 and the other side is connected to the flywheel shell body 10. When the bolt transmits force to the flywheel shell, the reinforcing rib 30 can also share the stress of the mounting structure 20, thereby further reducing stress concentration.
[0033] As Figure 1As shown, the third mounting area S3 has a smaller space, and when the reinforcing rib 30 is arranged, the reinforcing rib 30 can be located on the side of the mounting structure 20 away from the second mounting area S2 to avoid interference between the hydraulic pump and the reinforcing rib 30. In addition, the part of the reinforcing rib 30 connected to the flywheel shell body 10 can extend towards the first mounting area S1, so as to increase the size of the reinforcing rib 30, so as to improve the stress sharing capacity of the reinforcing rib 30.
[0034] Based on this, referring again to Figure 2 The reinforcing rib 30 can also be provided with a avoiding slot 31, which can be used to avoid the transmission gear, so as to avoid the interference between the reinforcing rib 30 and the transmission gear.
[0035] In specific implementation, the number of bosses 22 can be two, three, four, etc., and the number of bosses 22 can be adaptively designed according to actual use requirements. Taking two bosses 22 as an example, referring to Figures 3 to 5 Since the diameter of the upper boss 22 is smaller than that of the lower boss 22, the cross section of the flywheel shell body 10 and the two bosses 22 can be regarded as a continuous stepped structure.
[0036] In some embodiments, each boss 22 and the bolt through-hole bracket 21 can be an integral structure, which can enhance the overall strength of the mounting structure 20. In addition, the reinforcing rib 30 and the mounting structure 20 can also be an integral structure, so as to ensure the structural strength therebetween.
[0037] When the bolt through-hole bracket 21 is connected with the boss 22, a chamfer can be arranged between the bolt through-hole bracket 21 and the boss 22, which can facilitate improving the structural strength therebetween. When two adjacent bosses 22 are connected, a chamfer can also be arranged between the two adjacent bosses 22, so as to improve the structural strength therebetween. When the boss 22 is connected with the flywheel shell body 10, a chamfer can also be arranged between the boss 22 and the flywheel shell body 10, so as to improve the structural strength therebetween.
[0038] In some embodiments, since the diameter of the boss 22 is greater than the outer diameter of the bolt through-hole bracket 21, when the size of the boss 22 is designed, the difference between the diameter of the boss 22 adjacent to the bolt through-hole bracket 21 and the outer diameter of the bolt through-hole bracket 21 can be greater than or equal to 4 mm. Through the above size design, not only can the chamfer design between the bolt through-hole bracket 21 and the boss 22 be facilitated, but also the size of the boss 22 can be ensured to be greater than that of the bolt through-hole bracket 21.
[0039] Similarly, between two adjacent bosses 22, the diameter of the boss 22 away from the bolt through hole 21 can be greater than or equal to 4mm. In this way, while achieving the chamfer design between two bosses 22, it is also possible to ensure that the size of the lower boss 22 is greater than the size of the upper boss 22.
[0040] Further, the diameter of the bottommost boss 22 is less than or equal to 40mm, that is, the diameter of the bottommost boss 22 can be designed to be up to 40mm. As shown in the figure, the space of the third mounting area is limited, and on this basis, the diameter of the bottommost boss 22 is designed to be larger, which is beneficial to increase the cross-sectional area of the root of the mounting structure 20, so that the stress distribution of the mounting structure 20 is more uniform along the circumference at the root. Figure 1
[0041] It can be understood that, in the embodiment, by increasing the structure of the boss 22, the stress distribution of the bolt through hole 21 along the axial direction and the circumferential direction is more uniform, and the structural strength is improved in the limited design space.
[0042] Based on the same design concept, the utility model embodiment can also provide a vehicle, which can include an engine, a transmission and a flywheel housing as described in the foregoing embodiments, wherein the engine is connected with the transmission through the flywheel housing. When the engine is connected to the flywheel housing, the engine housing and the flywheel housing can be connected through the bolts fixed in the bolt through hole, so as to realize the stable connection between the two.
[0043] Since the flywheel housing described above can improve the structural strength of the connection between the engine and the flywheel housing, it can maintain the stability of the connection with the engine during the operation of the engine, so as to improve the stability of the vehicle during driving, thereby improving the performance of the vehicle.
[0044] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the utility model embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Thus, if these modifications and changes of the utility model belong to the scope of the utility model claims and their equivalent technologies, the utility model also intends to include these modifications and changes.
