For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present embodiment can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail in combination with the drawings.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 3The application provides a brake device, comprising a first motor 01, a planetary gear assembly, a second driven gear 10, a third driving gear 12, a third driven gear 13 and a ball screw assembly 16. The first motor 01 comprises a motor shell and is used to provide power for the brake device. In some embodiments, the first motor 01 can be a permanent magnet synchronous motor, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0040] The planetary gear assembly comprises a sun gear (not shown in the figure) arranged in the motor shell, a plurality of planetary gears 27, an inner ring gear 25, a lower planet carrier 24 and an upper planet carrier 35 arranged outside the motor shell. The sun gear is fixed on the first motor shaft 04 of the first motor 01 and can rotate together with the first motor shaft 04. Each planetary gear 27 is engaged with the sun gear and the inner ring gear 25, so that the planetary gear 27 can rotate around the sun gear while rotating on its own axis under the drive of the sun gear. The rotation and revolution of the planetary gear 27 can drive the upper planet carrier 35 and the lower planet carrier 24 to rotate. In some embodiments, the upper planet carrier 35 and the lower planet carrier 24 are fixed by planet pins 26. For example, one end of the planet pin 26 is in interference fit with the upper planet carrier 35, and the other end of the planet pin 26 is riveted to the lower planet carrier 24.

[0041] The second driven gear 10 can rotate under the drive of the upper planet carrier 35, the third driving gear 12 can rotate together with the second driven gear 10, and the third driven gear 13 can rotate under the drive of the third driving gear 12. The ball screw assembly 16 can convert the rotary motion transmitted by the third driven gear 13 into linear motion, thereby pushing the friction plate 17 to clamp or move away from the brake disc, so that the brake device is in a clamped state or a released state.

[0042] In other words, when the first motor 01 is in a working state, the first motor shaft 04 drives the sun gear to rotate, the planetary gear 27 revolves around the sun gear under the drive of the sun gear, and at the same time, the planetary gear 27 rotates on its own axis under the constraint of the inner ring gear 25. The rotation and revolution of the planetary gear 27 can be transmitted to the planet carrier (including the upper planet carrier 35 and the lower planet carrier 24) through, for example, the planet pin 26, so that the planet carrier rotates. The second driven gear 10 rotates under the drive of the upper planet carrier 35, the third driving gear 12 rotates together with the second driven gear 10, and the third driven gear 13 rotates under the drive of the third driving gear 12. The rotation is transmitted to the ball screw assembly 16 through, for example, the spline, so that the ball screw assembly 16 converts the rotary motion transmitted into linear motion, thereby pushing the friction plate 17 to clamp or move away from the brake disc, so that the brake device is in a clamped state or a released state.

[0043] According to the brake device of the present application, since the first motor 01 is directly used to drive the planetary gear assembly, and the sun gear, the plurality of planetary gears 27, the ring gear 25 and the lower carrier 24 of the planetary gear assembly are arranged in the motor housing, the axial dimension can be shortened, and the arrangement of components (such as the pressure sensor 15) is facilitated. In addition, the combination of the planetary gear assembly with high power density and the two-stage gear transmission can improve the transmission ratio of the entire transmission system, thereby reducing the demand for the first motor 01 and reducing the cost; at the same time, the arrangement of the three-stage transmission can reduce the size of the three-stage driven gear 13 at the end of the gear train, which is beneficial to the arrangement of the pressure sensor 15, for example, the plug-in method can be used to connect with the PCB, without the need for the flying wire or spring needle method in the prior art, which does not have mass production feasibility, and the spring needle has the risk of signal instantaneous interruption under vibration conditions.

[0044] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the motor housing is provided with an end cover 02 close to one end of the upper carrier 35 along the first axial direction X1, and the end cover 02 includes the ring gear 25 and a first insert 28 arranged on the ring gear 25. The ring gear 25 is made of plastic material, the first insert 28 and the motor housing are made of aluminum alloy material, and the end cover 02 is fixed with the motor housing through the first insert 28. For example, the first insert 28 is fixed with the motor housing by laser welding, thereby realizing the fixation of the end cover 02 and the motor housing. In some embodiments, the end cover 02 can be injection molded by using plastic particles resistant to electrical corrosion, thereby improving the electric spark and noise problems of the motor.

[0045] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 , the brake device further comprises a PCB lower housing 08 for accommodating the PCB. The PCB lower housing 08 is arranged on the side away from the first motor 01 along the first axial direction X1. The PCB lower housing 08 extends along the radial direction Y and is provided with a first stop portion 081 extending along the first axial direction X1, which is used to stop the movement of the planetary gear assembly in the first axial direction X1.

[0046] In some embodiments, the upper carrier 35 includes a two-stage driving gear 05, and the two-stage driven gear 10 is arranged above the two-stage driving gear 05 along the radial direction Y and meshes with the two-stage driving gear 05, that is, the two-stage driving gear 05 can drive the two-stage driven gear 10 to rotate through the meshing. In some embodiments, the two-stage driving gear 05 is provided with a protrusion 051 extending along the first axial direction X1, and a bushing 07 (such as a copper bushing 07) is fixed on the first stop portion 081, and the centering of the two-stage driving gear 05 is realized by fixing the protrusion 051 and the support of the bushing 07.

[0047] In some embodiments, the brake device further comprises a magnetic ring 06 for monitoring the position signal of the first motor 01. Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2 The magnetic ring 06 is fixed in the inner hole of the first motor shaft 04 by glue.

[0048] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The brake device further comprises a gear train housing 19 and a fixed shaft 09. The gear train housing 19 is used to accommodate the second primary gear 05, the second driven gear 10, the third primary gear 12 and the third driven gear 13. The fixed shaft 09 is fixed on the gear train housing 19 and arranged in parallel with the first motor shaft 04. In this embodiment, the fixed shaft 09 is integrally injection molded with the gear train housing 19. In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 The second driven gear 10 and the third primary gear 12 are coaxially arranged on the fixed shaft 09 and integrally injection molded.

[0049] In some embodiments, the brake device further comprises a first ball bearing 11. The inner ring of the first ball bearing 11 is arranged in a gap with the fixed shaft 09, and the outer ring of the first ball bearing 11 is in interference fit with the second driven gear 10, so that the second driven gear 10 and the third primary gear 12 can rotate around the fixed shaft 09.

[0050] In some embodiments, the PCB lower housing 08 is provided with a second stop portion 082 extending along the first axial direction X1. The first ball bearing 11 is arranged in a gap with the second stop portion 082, and the second stop portion 082 is used to stop the first ball bearing 11, the second driven gear 10 and the third primary gear 12 from moving in the first axial direction X1. In some embodiments, the part of the fixed shaft 09 that exceeds the first ball bearing 11 in the first axial direction X1 is arranged in a gap with the second stop portion 082 in the radial direction Y, so that the second stop portion 082 can provide support when the fixed shaft 09 is deflected, thereby ensuring smaller shaft deflection and facilitating smooth transmission.

[0051] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The third driven gear 13 is arranged above the third primary gear 12 in the radial direction Y and engages with the third primary gear 12. In other words, the third primary gear 12 can drive the third driven gear 13 to rotate through engagement. The third driven gear 13 is thermally welded with the end face of the gear train housing 19 through the second ball bearing 14, so as to stop the third driven gear 13 from moving in the first axial direction X1.

[0052] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1The third driven gear 13 is provided with a caliper housing 18 on the side close to the first motor 01 in the first axial direction X1. The caliper housing 18 is provided with a cavity capable of accommodating and supporting the ball screw assembly 16. The third driven gear 13 and the ball screw assembly 16 are connected through inner and outer splines to transmit the rotation of the third driven gear 13 to the ball screw assembly 16. Illustratively, the rotation of the third driven gear 13 can drive the ball screw assembly 16 to move the second nut (not shown in the figure) in the first axial direction X1, thereby pushing the friction plate 17 to clamp or move away from the brake disc, so that the brake device is in the clamping state or the release state. The inner and outer spline connection can ensure the precise transmission between the ball screw and the second nut.

[0053] In some embodiments, the pressure sensor 15 is arranged between the shaft (not shown in the figure) of the ball screw assembly 16 and the end surface of the caliper housing 18. Referring to Figure 3 The gear train housing 19 is provided with a first connector 20, and the pressure sensor 15 can be connected to the PCB through the first connector 20. In this application, the pressure sensor 15 is connected to the PCB through the connector, which is convenient for connection and more in line with the requirements of mass production feasibility.

[0054] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 The brake device further comprises a parking motor assembly 22 arranged in the gear train housing 19 in a direction perpendicular to the first axial direction X1. In other words, the parking motor assembly 22 can be placed horizontally in the gear train housing 19, which is more compact compared to the traditional parallel arrangement with the first motor shaft 04, so that the parking motor assembly 22 is no longer a bottleneck in the axial size arrangement of the brake device, and the axial size is greatly shortened.

[0055] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper planet carrier 35 further comprises a ratchet 03, and the second driving gear 05 and the ratchet 03 are integrally formed. Referring to Figure 6A and Figure 6B The parking motor assembly 22 is provided with a pawl 23, and the parking is achieved through the cooperation of the pawl 23 and the ratchet 03.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 The parking motor assembly 22 comprises a parking motor 29, a screw rod 30 fixed to the second motor shaft of the parking motor 29, a first nut 34 matched with the screw rod 30, and a sliding sleeve 33 sleeved on the first nut 34. Illustratively, the screw rod 30 is press-fitted on the second motor shaft. The sliding sleeve 33 is used to assemble the pawl 23. Illustratively, the sliding sleeve 33 is provided with a groove 331, and one end of the pawl 23 can be movably connected in the groove 331 of the sliding sleeve 33. Referring to Figure 4The pawl shaft 36 is insert-molded on the gear train housing 19, and the pawl 23 is rotatable around the pawl shaft 36.

[0057] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 5 The parking motor assembly 22 further comprises a check ring 31 and an elastic component 32. The first nut 34 is sequentially sleeved with a sleeve 33, the elastic component 32 and the check ring 31 in the direction close to the parking motor 29 along the second axial direction X2. The elastic component 32 can be elastically deformed under the limitation of the sleeve 33 and the check ring 31 to adjust the displacement of the pawl 23 along the second axial direction X2, so that the pawl 23 can be more smoothly clamped into the tooth gap of the ratchet wheel 03.

[0058] In the present embodiment, the check ring 31 is in interference fit with the first nut 34 and is arranged at one end of the first nut 34 close to the parking motor 29 along the second axial direction X2, and the other end of the first nut 34 away from the parking motor 29 along the second axial direction X2 is provided with an axial limiting portion. When the sleeve 33 abuts against the axial limiting portion on the first nut 34, the elastic component 32 is in a non-adjusting state; when the sleeve 33 does not abut against the axial limiting portion on the first nut 34, the elastic component 32 is in an adjusting state, and the pawl 23 is moved relative to the first nut 34 through the sleeve 33, so as to adjust the displacement of the pawl 23 along the second axial direction X2, so that the pawl 23 can be more smoothly clamped into the tooth gap of the ratchet wheel 03. In the present embodiment, the elastic component 32 is a push spring, which is not specifically limited here as long as it can adjust the displacement along the second axial direction X2.

[0059] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 5 The parking motor assembly 22 further comprises a washer 35 sleeved at one end of the first nut 34 away from the parking motor 29 along the second axial direction X2. Exemplarily, the washer 35 can be a D-shaped washer 35. Through the arrangement of the washer 35, it can prevent the first nut 34 from being easily stuck when moving away from the parking motor 29 along the second axial direction X2, and reduce the parking noise. In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 6A and Figure 6B The screw rod 30 is provided with a third stop portion 301, which can prevent the first nut 34 from being easily stuck when moving close to the parking motor 29 along the second axial direction X2, and reduce the parking noise. After such arrangement, the problems of easy sticking and large action noise of the transmission electromagnet under the radial force can be solved, the requirement for electronic components on the PCB is low, the control is simpler, and the cost is lower.

[0060] The present application realizes the working principle of parking and unparking: with reference to Figure 6AWhen the parking motor 29 rotates forward, the first nut 34 moves in the second axial direction X2 towards the direction of approaching the ratchet wheel 03, the pawl 23 rotates clockwise (as shown by the arrow in the figure) to be clamped into the tooth gap of the ratchet wheel 03, and parking is achieved; with reference to Figure 6B , the parking motor 29 reverses, the first nut 34 moves in the second axial direction X2 away from the ratchet wheel 03, the pawl 23 rotates counterclockwise (as shown by the arrow in the figure) to be released from the tooth gap of the ratchet wheel 03, and the parking is released.

[0061] The parking of the present application can effectively control the connection and disconnection of the ratchet wheel 03 and the pawl 23 through the parking motor 29, thereby effectively locking the transmission system. At the same time, it can quickly switch between the parking state and the driving state, unlike the traditional parking which needs a separate motor gear unit to perform. And compared with the scheme on the market that uses electromagnet to assist parking function, the present application can better solve the noise problem of electromagnet, reduce the risk of parking function failure due to electromagnet being stuck under radial force, and improve the stability of performance under low temperature conditions.

[0062] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 3 , the gear train housing 19 is provided with a second connector 21, and the parking motor 29 can be connected with the PCB through the second connector 21. The parking motor 29 is connected with the PCB through the connector, which is convenient for connection and more in line with the requirements of mass production feasibility.

[0063] The present application also provides a vehicle comprising the brake device according to any one of the above embodiments.
