[0044] In order for the ordinary person in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0045] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The implementation described in the following exemplary embodiments does not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are only examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0046] ​The application provides a gear, a speed reducer and a vehicle. In order to facilitate the description of each embodiment below, before introducing the embodiments of the application, first introduce some professional terms to be mentioned in the embodiments of the application, in particular:

[0047] Acoustic Black Holes (ABH): Acoustic black holes are used to reduce the thickness of the structure in a certain power function form, so that the phase velocity of the bending wave gradually decreases to achieve the gradual gathering of energy. In an ideal case, the bending wave velocity is reduced to zero, so it cannot be transmitted to the edge of the structure, and reflection does not occur. The acoustic black hole effect causes the structure to produce a high energy density area, so it can be efficiently applied to energy recovery and vibration noise control.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, according to the first aspect of the application, a gear 10 is provided, along the axial direction of the gear 10, the gear 10 includes a first side and a second side, the gear 10 includes an inner wheel part 1, an outer wheel part 2 and a plurality of spokes 3, wherein along the radial direction of the gear 10, the outer wheel part 2 is arranged on the outer side of the inner wheel part 1, the plurality of spokes 3 is arranged between the inner wheel part 1 and the outer wheel part 2, the plurality of spokes 3 connects the inner wheel part 1 and the outer wheel part 2, the surface of the spoke 3 towards the first side includes a first area 31, along the circumferential direction of the inner wheel part 1, the first area 31 is arranged in a power exponential law.

[0049] The gear 10 generates vibration sound during rotation, and the vibration and sound are transmitted along the inner wheel part 1, the outer wheel part 2 and the plurality of spokes 3 of the gear 10. When transmitted to the plurality of spokes 3, because the first area 31 is arranged in a power exponential law, the phase velocity and group velocity gradually decrease during the transmission of acoustic energy along the power exponential surface of the first area 31, thereby reducing the acoustic energy and further reducing the noise. By changing the shape of the spoke 3, the overall structure of the gear 10 is reasonable, and the effect of reducing noise by the spoke 3 is improved.

[0050] In a possible implementation, the inner wheel part 1 and the outer wheel part 2 are coaxially arranged. In a possible implementation, the inner wheel part 1 and the outer wheel part 2 are arranged off-axis.

[0051] The embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, and before the embodiments of the application are described in detail, the application scenario of the embodiments of the application will be introduced first.

[0052] The application provides a speed reducer, which includes a power member and the gear 10 provided in any one of the embodiments of the first aspect, and the power member is in transmission connection with the gear 10.

[0053] The power member can include a motor, an engine, a cylinder, and in the transmission process, the gear 10, a rack, a chain and components with transmission function can be selected.

[0054] Of course, in addition to these, gear 10 can also be used in various vehicles, power tools, home appliances, portable devices, outdoor equipment, medical devices, etc.

[0055] Specifically, means of transportation include, but are not limited to, vehicles, bicycles, and motorcycles; power tools include, but are not limited to, electric drills and chainsaws; household appliances include, but are not limited to, vacuum cleaners, robot vacuums, air conditioners, and refrigerators; portable devices include, but are not limited to, portable power banks, portable speakers, and drones; outdoor equipment includes, but is not limited to, power banks and camping lights; and medical devices include, but are not limited to, heart rate monitors.

[0056] This application provides a vehicle including a speed reducer. The vehicle may be one of a sedan, SUV, MPV, truck, van, or special vehicle. The vehicle provided in this application may also be at least one of a gasoline-powered vehicle, a hydrogen-powered vehicle, an electric vehicle, or a hybrid vehicle.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the first region 31 can be arranged in a power-law pattern in a clockwise direction along the first side of the gear 10, or the first region 31 can be arranged in a power-law pattern in a counterclockwise direction along the first side of the gear 10. The direction of the power-law arrangement can be selected appropriately according to the rotation direction of the gear 10, as well as the production process, production equipment, etc., thereby improving the flexibility of the gear 10.

[0058] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one possible implementation, the surface of the spoke 3 facing the first side includes a second region 32, which is connected to the first region 31, and the second region 32 is arranged in a power-law pattern along the circumference of the inner wheel portion 1.

[0059] By setting the second region 32, when the sound wave is transmitted to the second region 32, the phase velocity and group velocity of the sound wave energy gradually decrease, which can further optimize the sound wave propagation characteristics and thus reduce the noise generated by the gear 10 during rotation.

[0060] In one possible implementation, one of the second region 32 and the first region 31 is arranged clockwise along the first side of the gear 10, and the other is arranged counterclockwise along the first side of the gear 10.

[0061] Thus, the first region 31 and the second region 32 transmit sound waves to the junction of the first region 31 and the second region 32. The sound wave energy produces a sound wave focusing effect at the end of the first region 31. Similarly, the sound wave energy produces a sound wave focusing effect at the end of the second region 32. The sound waves in the first region 31 and the second region 32 propagate in opposite directions, producing a partial cancellation effect, thereby reducing the sound wave energy and thus reducing noise.

[0062] CombinationFigure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1, in a possible implementation, the surface of the spoke 3 facing the second side includes a third region 33, and the third region 33 is arranged in a power-law manner along the circumference of the inner wheel part 1.

[0063] The third region 33 can reduce the noise on the second side of the gear 10, and the first region 31 can reduce the noise on the first side of the gear 10, so that by arranging the third region 33, the noise reduction effect can be further improved.

[0064] Meanwhile, the power-law arrangement on both the first side and the second side can improve the mechanical properties of the spoke 3, so that the gear 10 has better strength and rigidity when bearing load, and thus the stability and durability of the overall structure are improved.

[0065] In a possible implementation, the surface of the spoke 3 facing the second side includes a fourth region 34, and the fourth region 34 is connected with the third region 33, and the fourth region 34 is arranged in a power-law manner along the circumference of the inner wheel part 1.

[0066] By arranging the fourth region 34, when the sound wave is transmitted to the fourth region 34, the phase velocity and group velocity of the sound wave energy gradually decrease, so that the sound wave propagation characteristics can be further optimized, and thus the noise generated by the gear 10 during rotation is reduced.

[0067] The effect of arranging the third region 33 and the fourth region 34 on the second side is the same as the effect of arranging the first region 31 and the second region 32 on the first side, which will not be described herein.

[0068] Meanwhile, the first region 31, the second region 32, the third region 33, and the fourth region 34 are arranged in a power-law manner along the circumference of the inner wheel part 1, so that the noise reduction effect can be further improved.

[0069] Continuing to refer to FIG. 1, Figure 1 In a possible implementation, a plurality of spokes 3 are arranged in a spaced manner along the circumference of the inner wheel part 1.

[0070] The plurality of spokes 3 are arranged in a spaced manner along the circumference of the inner wheel part 1, and the hollow region is between adjacent spokes 3, so that the material usage of the gear 10 can be reduced, and the weight of the gear 10 is reduced.

[0071] The two adjacent spokes 3 do not contact each other, so that the sound wave energy is reduced in the propagation between the two adjacent spokes 3.

[0072] In a possible implementation, the plurality of spokes 3 are sequentially arranged in a connected manner along the circumference of the inner wheel part 1.

[0073] The plurality of spokes 3 are sequentially connected along the circumference of the inner wheel part 1, which can improve the mechanical properties of the gear 10 in the axial and radial directions, improve the strength and rigidity of the gear 10, and further improve the stability and durability of the gear 10 structure.

[0074] Meanwhile, the plurality of regions arranged in a power index law can reduce the amount of gear 10 material.

[0075] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a possible implementation, the gear 10 includes an elastic member 4, which is located at the connection between the first region 31 and the second region 32, and is connected with the first region 31 and the second region 32.

[0076] When the first region 31 and the second region 32 transmit sound waves to the connection between the first region 31 and the second region 32, the elastic member 4 can absorb the vibration energy of the sound waves, further consume the sound wave energy through the characteristics of the elastic member 4, and thus reduce noise.

[0077] In a possible implementation, the elastic member 4 can also be a rubber member, and can also be a plastic member.

[0078] In a possible implementation, the elastic member 4 is a damping rubber.

[0079] The damping rubber can effectively absorb and dissipate vibration energy, reduce vibration transmission in the gear 10, thereby reducing noise and vibration generated by the rotation of the gear 10, and improving the comfort and reliability of the gear 10.

[0080] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any change or replacement within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
