[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle axle technology, specifically a split-type two-stage reduction electric vehicle axle. Background Technology

[0002] An electric vehicle axle, also known as an electric drive axle or electric drive bridge, is a key component in electric vehicles for power transmission and distribution. It integrates traditional axle components such as a motor, reducer, and differential, which work together to achieve the driving function of the electric vehicle. Patent CN108944391B discloses a lightweight electric drive axle assembly for vehicles, including a permanent magnet synchronous motor, an integral axle housing, and a braking system installed within the integral axle housing; it also includes a secondary reducer assembly installed between the permanent magnet synchronous motor and the braking system; the secondary reducer assembly includes an integral housing and a secondary reduction transmission component installed within the integral housing. In this patent document, the secondary reducer uses a single housing to house the entire secondary reduction component, resulting in a large secondary reducer size. When maintenance is required, the entire reducer needs to be disassembled, increasing the complexity and difficulty of maintenance, and extending maintenance time and costs.

[0003] While existing technologies may already offer solutions to the aforementioned problems, this case aims to provide an alternative or replacement technical solution. Utility Model Content

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] This utility model provides a split-type two-stage reduction electric vehicle axle, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art: The first and second stage reductions are designed independently.

[0017] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0018] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-2 To address the issue that the secondary reducer on an electric vehicle axle uses a single housing to house the entire secondary reducer component, resulting in a large secondary reducer size, and requiring complete disassembly for maintenance, thus increasing the complexity and difficulty of maintenance, and extending maintenance time and costs, this technical solution is designed. The detailed technical solution is as follows:

[0019] A split-type two-stage reduction electric vehicle axle includes a drive axle body 1, an axle body input shaft 2 is provided on the drive axle body 1, a reduction structure is installed at one end of the axle body input shaft 2, and a motor 3 is installed on the reduction structure.

[0020] It should be noted that when the motor 3 is working, its power is transmitted to the bridge input shaft 2 through the reduction structure, and the bridge input shaft 2 then transmits it to the drive axle body 1.

[0021] Specifically, the reduction structure includes a first-stage reduction housing 4 and a second-stage reduction housing 5. A first-stage input shaft 6 is movably inserted into the first-stage reduction housing 4. The first-stage input shaft 6 is connected to the drive end of the motor 3. A first-stage transmission gear 7 is fixedly mounted on the first-stage input shaft 6. A first-stage output shaft 8 is movably inserted into the first-stage reduction housing 4 and located on one side of the first-stage input shaft 6. A first-stage reduction gear 9 is fixedly mounted on the first-stage output shaft 8. The first-stage reduction gear 9 meshes with the first-stage transmission gear 7. The size of the first-stage reduction gear 9 is larger than the size of the first-stage transmission gear 7.

[0022] It should be noted that when motor 3 is working, the drive end of motor 3 rotates, and the first-stage input shaft 6 drives the first-stage transmission gear 7 to rotate. Under the mutual meshing of the first-stage reduction gear 9 and the first-stage transmission gear 7, the first-stage reduction gear 9 drives the first-stage output shaft 8 to rotate. Since the size of the first-stage reduction gear 9 is larger than the size of the first-stage transmission gear 7, the speed of the first-stage output shaft 8 is less than the speed of the first-stage input shaft 6, thus achieving first-stage speed reduction.

[0023] Specifically, a secondary input shaft 10 is movably inserted into the secondary reduction housing 5, and the secondary input shaft 10 is connected to the primary output shaft 8. A secondary transmission bevel gear 11 is fixedly mounted on the secondary input shaft 10. A secondary output shaft 12 is movably inserted into the secondary reduction housing 5. A secondary speed-reducing bevel gear 13 is fixedly mounted on one end of the secondary output shaft 12. The secondary speed-reducing bevel gear 13 meshes with the secondary transmission bevel gear 11. The other end of the secondary output shaft 12 is connected to the bridge input shaft 2. The size of the secondary speed-reducing bevel gear is larger than the size of the secondary transmission bevel gear.

[0024] It should be noted that when the primary input shaft 6 is connected to the secondary input shaft 10, the secondary input shaft 10 and the secondary transmission bevel gear on it rotate at the same speed as the secondary output shaft 12. Under the meshing of the secondary speed reduction bevel gear and the secondary transmission bevel gear, the secondary speed reduction bevel gear drives the secondary output shaft 12 to rotate. Since the size of the secondary speed reduction bevel gear is larger than that of the secondary transmission bevel gear, the rotational speed of the secondary output shaft 12 is less than that of the secondary input shaft 10, thus achieving secondary speed reduction.

[0025] By disassembling the first-stage input shaft 6 and the drive end of the motor 3, the first-stage output shaft 8 and the second-stage input shaft 10, and the second-stage output shaft 12 and the axle input shaft 2, the speed reduction components, motor 3, and drive axle body 1 of each stage can be maintained separately. This avoids the problem of the large size caused by the traditional two-stage reducer using a single housing to house all the reduction components, thus reducing the overall disassembly requirement during maintenance. Therefore, when a certain component needs maintenance, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire reducer, which greatly simplifies the maintenance process, reduces the complexity of operation, effectively shortens the maintenance time and saves costs, and improves the convenience of electric vehicle axle maintenance.

[0026] Preferably, the primary input shaft 6 and the drive end of the motor 3 are connected to each other via a flange for easy assembly and disassembly of the primary input shaft 6 and the drive end of the motor 3.

[0027] Preferably, the secondary input shaft 10 and the primary output shaft 8 are connected to each other by a flange for disassembly and assembly of the secondary input shaft 10 and the primary output shaft 8.

[0028] Preferably, the secondary output shaft 12 and the bridge input shaft 2 are connected to each other by a flange for disassembly and assembly of the secondary output shaft 12 and the bridge input shaft 2.

[0029] Preferably, and further, a first bearing 14 is provided between the first-stage reduction housing 4 and both the first-stage input shaft 6 and the first-stage output shaft 8 to assist the rotation of the first-stage input shaft 6 and the first-stage output shaft 8;

[0030] As a preferred and further option, a second bearing 15 is provided between the secondary reduction housing 5 and the secondary input shaft 10 and the secondary output shaft 12 to assist the rotation of the secondary input shaft 10 and the secondary output shaft 12.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
