Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hub motor technology, and in particular to a high-speed motor for electric motorcycles. Background Technology

[0002] Electric motorcycles have gained increasing popularity due to their advantages such as high speed, environmental friendliness, and economy. As a type of electric vehicle, its electric drive and control system mainly consists of a motor and a speed control device.

[0003] Currently, the wheel hub motors used in electric motorcycles on the market have a high failure rate in their reduction gear mechanisms, which directly affects the reliability and lifespan of the entire wheel hub motor. This not only greatly impacts the user experience but also results in poor safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, this utility model proposes a high-speed electric motor for electric motorcycles that features high reliability, low failure rate, and compact structure.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a high-speed electric motor for electric motorcycles, including a hub, a housing assembly, a motor shaft, a stator and rotor assembly, and a transmission assembly. The housing assembly is coaxially sleeved outside the stator and rotor assembly and the transmission assembly. The hub is sleeved outside the housing assembly. The stator and rotor assembly is sleeved on the motor shaft through two first bearings.

[0006] To improve lubrication, liquid gear oil is used for lubrication in the transmission assembly. To isolate the motor and transmission parts and prevent gear oil from flowing into the motor and causing motor malfunction, a spacer assembly is provided between the stator and rotor assembly and the transmission assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, the spacer assembly includes a spacer and an oil guide cap. The spacer is sleeved outside the motor shaft and a first oil seal is provided between the spacer and the motor shaft. The oil guide cap is sleeved outside the spacer and a second oil seal is provided between the oil guide cap and the spacer.

[0008] To achieve the best oil separation effect, the outer edge of the oil guide cap extends axially to one side with a housing mating part, and the outer diameter surface of the housing mating part fits against the inner diameter surface of the housing assembly.

[0009] To improve the oil guiding effect, the oil guide cover has a slope that is inclined towards the stator and rotor assembly. To improve the strength of the oil guide cover, several reinforcing protrusions are uniformly stamped on the oil guide cover.

[0010] To improve the reliability and extend the service life of the reduction mechanism, the transmission assembly includes a sun gear, a planetary gear carrier, a ring gear, several planetary gear shafts, and several planetary gears. The sun gear is mounted on the motor shaft via a second bearing. One end of the planetary gear carrier is mounted on the spacer assembly via a third bearing, and the other end is connected to the motor shaft via a key. The planetary gear shafts are evenly arranged circumferentially within the planetary gear carrier. Several planetary gears are respectively mounted on the planetary gear shafts via fourth bearings. The planetary gears mesh with the sun gear. The ring gear is mounted outside the planetary gears and meshes with them.

[0011] To improve the reliability of structural assembly and the stability of gear operation, a gear groove is further provided on the housing assembly corresponding to the position of the gear ring, and the outer ring of the gear ring is disposed in the gear groove.

[0012] To improve the lubrication effect of the bearings inside the planetary gear and thus extend their service life, the planetary gear shaft is a hollow shaft, and a lubricating oil hole is radially opened in the middle of the planetary gear shaft.

[0013] Preferably, there are 3 planetary gears and 3 planetary gear shafts. However, more planetary gears and a corresponding number of planetary gear shafts can be designed depending on the actual situation.

[0014] Since the maximum torque of the motor can exceed 200 N·m, in order to improve the strength of the gears in the transmission assembly, it is preferable that the planetary gears, sun gears and ring gears are made of steel.

[0015] To further improve gear strength, increase its impact resistance and transmission smoothness, and reduce its noise, preferably, the planetary gears, sun gears, and ring gears are all helical gears.

[0016] Furthermore, the housing assembly is mounted on the planetary gear carrier and the motor shaft at both ends via a fifth bearing and a sixth bearing, respectively, and a third oil seal and a fourth oil seal are respectively provided between the two ends of the housing assembly and the motor shaft.

[0017] To improve structural compactness and reliability, it is preferable that the first, third, fifth, and sixth bearings are all deep groove ball bearings, and the second and fourth bearings are all needle roller bearings. However, other types of first, second, third, and fourth bearings may also be selected depending on the actual situation.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The high-speed electric motor for electric motorcycles, by designing separate stator and rotor assemblies and a gearbox assembly, improves the structural compactness of the hub motor for electric motorcycles; by designing steel helical gears for the sun gear, planet gears, and ring gear, and optimizing the lubrication structure within the gearbox assembly, the impact resistance and reliability of the gears are greatly improved, thereby extending the service life of the gearbox assembly; by designing an oil guide cap between the rotor assembly and the gearbox assembly, lubricating oil is prevented from entering the motor, ensuring the reliability of the motor while further improving the lubrication effect of the gears within the gearbox assembly, thus reducing the failure rate of the hub motor for electric motorcycles and improving the safety and reliability of the electric motorcycle.
