[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following embodiments are provided to further illustrate this utility model in detail.
[0030] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0031] This embodiment provides a vehicle and a wheel hub drive system, wherein the vehicle can use at least one wheel hub drive system described in this embodiment. Preferably, all four wheel hub drive systems of the vehicle are selected as wheel hub drive systems described below in this embodiment.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 The hub drive system includes a power unit 1, a drive disc 21, and a hub ring 3. The power unit 1 has a power output section 1111 at one axial end, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 The power output section 1111 can be a hexagonal mounting slot. A fixed support section 121 is provided at the other end of the axial direction of the power device 1, in conjunction with... Figure 3 and Figure 5 The fixed support 121 can be an annular groove. The inner axial end of the drive disc 21 is connected to the power output part 1111, and its circumferential periphery is higher than that of the power device 1. For example, the drive disc 21 can be provided with a hexagonal shaft end that can be inserted into the hexagonal mounting groove of the power output part 1111. The hub ring 3 is supported and sleeved on the circumferential outside of the power device 1 by the first bearing 31, and one end of the hub ring 3 is connected to the circumferential periphery of the drive disc 21. For example, the circumferential periphery of the drive disc 21 is connected to the end face of the hub ring 3 by bolts. In this embodiment, the power device 1 drives the hub ring 3 to rotate around the circumferential of the power device 1 by connecting the drive disc 21, and the connection structure of the hub ring 3 is simple.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the hub drive system of this example, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 The hub drive system also includes a brake disc 22, a first cantilever 24, and a brake 25. The brake disc 22 is mounted on the extended shaft 23 of the drive disc 21. For example, a mounting flange is provided on the extended shaft 23 of the drive disc 21, and the brake disc 22 is bolted to this mounting flange. Alternatively, the brake disc 22 can be integrally formed with the extended shaft 23 of the drive disc 21. The first cantilever 24 is connected to the extended shaft 23 via a second bearing. The housing of the brake 25 is connected to the first cantilever 24, and the two brake pads 251 of the brake 25 are located on opposite axial sides of the brake disc 22.
[0034] Thus, the brake 25 is installed externally relative to the power unit 1, which makes the structure of the power unit 1 more compact and facilitates the maintenance of the brake 25 compared to placing the holding brake inside the power unit 1. In this embodiment, when the brake pedal is pressed, the brake fluid in the master cylinder enters the brake 25, and the piston of the brake 25 moves outward under the action of oil pressure. The two brake pads 251 press the brake disc 22 together and perform the braking effect.
[0035] For example, combined Figure 1 and Figure 4 The hub drive system also includes a first washer 26 and a first nut sleeve 27. The first washer 26 is connected to the extended shaft 23 and located at the outer end of the second bearing. The first nut sleeve 27 is fitted onto the extended shaft 23 and presses the first washer 26 axially. Thus, the installation of the braking structure of the hub drive system is simple.
[0036] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 and Figure 6 The hub drive system also includes a flange seat 41, a second cantilever 42, a second washer 43, and a second nut sleeve 44. The flange seat 41 is connected to the fixed support portion 121, and its axially extended portion has at least one limiting plane 411 formed on its outer peripheral wall. One end of the second cantilever 42 has a connecting hole, which fits onto the extended portion, and its inner wall cooperates with the limiting plane 411 for limiting. The second washer 43 is connected to the extended portion and located at the outer end of the connecting hole. The second nut sleeve 44 is fitted onto the extended portion and axially presses against the second washer 43. This achieves the connection between the second suspension and the power unit 1. In this embodiment, the first cantilever 24 and the second cantilever 42 are components of the suspension, and the hub ring 3 and the tire 5 outside the hub ring 3 rotate relative to the suspension.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the hub drive system of this example, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 The housing of the power unit 1 has a limiting ring 122 near the fixed support 121. The hub drive system also includes a flange ring 32, which is connected to one end of the hub ring 3 near the fixed support 121, and together with the limiting ring 122, it limits the first bearing 31 axially. For example, the housing may consist of a main housing 12 and a flange.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the hub drive system of this example, combined with Figure 5The power equipment 1 houses a motor 13 and a reduction gear 11. The motor 13 includes an inner rotor 131 and an outer stator 132. The inner rotor 131 includes a magnet ring 1311 and a main shaft support 1312. The main shaft support 1312 is connected to the inner bottom end of the magnet ring 1311, and an axial space 133 is formed between the top surface of the main shaft support 1312 and the top surface of the magnet ring 1311. At least a portion of the reduction gear 11 extends into the axial space 133, and the input end of the reduction gear 11 is connected to the main shaft support 1312.
[0039] Continue to refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the main shaft support 1312 of the motor 13 includes multiple bridge arms and a shaft sleeve, with the shaft sleeve connected to the interior of the magnet ring 1311 via the multiple bridge arms. The multiple bridge arms are located at the bottom end of the rotor's axial direction, and the thickness of the multiple bridge arms in the axial direction is shorter than the axial length of the rotor, thus forming an axial space 133 between the bridge arms and the top end of the magnet ring 1311, into which at least a portion of the speed reduction device 11 extends.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the hub drive system of this example, reference continues to be made to... Figure 5 The hub drive system also includes a drive shaft 112. The input end of a reduction gear 11 is formed on one axial side of the drive shaft 112, and the sun gear of a planetary reducer is formed on the other axial side. This sun gear can mesh with the planet gears of a planetary reducer. This achieves the connection and power transmission between the motor 13 and the reduction gear 11. Exemplarily, the end of the drive shaft 112 can extend into a shaft sleeve, and the outer wall of the end is keyed to the inner wall of the shaft sleeve.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment of the hub drive system of this example, reference continues to be made to... Figure 5 The reduction gear 11 includes at least one planetary reducer, meaning it can perform first-stage reduction using one planetary reducer or second-stage reduction using two planetary reducers. In this embodiment, the planet carrier 111 of the first-stage planetary reducer is connected to the sun gear of the second-stage planetary reducer, and the planet carrier 111 of the second-stage planetary reducer forms the power output section 1111 of the power device 1.
