Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a planetary gearbox and a vehicle power system. Background Technology

[0002] In a planetary gearbox, the pins are fixed to the planet carrier. The planetary gears are supported on the planetary pins by needle roller bearings, and the differential gears are directly supported on the differential pins. A washer is placed between the end face of all gears and the planet carrier to reduce component wear. To ensure proper operation of the planetary gearbox, the gearbox components, including gears, bearings, and washers, require adequate lubrication.

[0003] DE102016222444A1 discloses a drive assembly in which an oil collector is mounted on the end face of a planetary carrier, and during gearbox operation, oil splashed from the gears is collected and guided to the pins, thereby lubricating the bearings and washers.

[0004] US20200132186A1 discloses an assembly for a turbine planetary gear reducer, including a lubrication wheel and a lubricant nozzle, which sprays oil onto an oil collector to reduce the impact of gearbox tilt on the amount of oil collected. However, the oil collected by the oil collector has no oil pressure and needs to be guided to the required lubrication area by gravity or centrifugal force. This is affected by the gearbox tilt angle, and the amount of oil guided to the lubrication area is difficult to control, resulting in poor lubrication.

[0005] CN113847412A discloses a non-interrupted lubrication structure and method for planetary gear trains. In this method, pressurized oil enters an oil chamber formed by a planetary carrier and an oil sleeve, then enters a distribution sleeve to distribute the oil to different locations. Bearings are lubricated through oil holes on pins, while gears are lubricated through grease fittings mounted on the planetary carrier. However, achieving this lubrication requires a large number of parts, resulting in a complex structure, high cost, and low reliability. Utility Model Content

[0053] To more clearly illustrate the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, specific embodiments of this application are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in this section. Besides the embodiments described in this section, this application can also be implemented in other different ways. Those skilled in the art can make corresponding improvements, modifications, and substitutions without departing from the spirit of this application; therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in this section. The scope of protection of this application should be determined by the claims.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, embodiments of this application propose a vehicle powertrain system, which includes a motor housing 100 and a planetary gearbox. The planetary gearbox can be connected to the motor housing 100, and the output shaft of the motor can be connected to the sun gear G1 of the planetary gearbox. This vehicle powertrain system can be, for example, a coaxial electric axle drive system.

[0055] The planetary gearbox includes a planet carrier 1, a planet cover 2, planetary gears 3, gear bearings 4, planetary pins 5, differential pins 6, differential gears 7, a gearbox housing 8, and a sealing ring 9.

[0056] The motor housing 100 and the gearbox housing 8 are fixedly connected and form a receiving cavity. The planetary carrier 1, planetary cover 2, planetary gear 3, gear bearing 4, planetary pin 5, differential pin 6, and differential gear 7 are all located inside the receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is also provided with a gear ring G2 and a side gear G3, wherein the differential gear 7 and the side gear G3 mesh.

[0057] The planetary carrier 1 may include a planetary carrier body 11 and a bearing mating part 12. The bearing mating part 12 may be located radially inside the planetary carrier body 11 and close to the motor housing 100 in the axial direction A. The motor housing 100 has a bearing mounting part 102.

[0058] The bearing mounting portion 102 of the motor housing 100 and the bearing mating portion 12 of the planetary carrier 1 can be connected by a planetary carrier bearing 14. The planetary carrier bearing 14 can be located radially inside the bearing mounting portion 102 and radially outside the bearing mating portion 12, and the planetary carrier 1 can rotate relative to the motor housing 100.

[0059] The motor housing 100 may be provided with a motor housing oil inlet 101, which may be located in the bearing mounting part 102. Oil can be supplied to the planetary gearbox through the motor housing oil inlet 101.

[0060] A sealing ring mounting groove may be provided between the planetary carrier body 11 and the bearing mounting part 102 on the radial direction R of the planetary gearbox. This groove may be provided with at least two sealing rings 9, which may be spaced apart along the axial direction A of the planetary gearbox, forming an annular oil chamber 15 between the at least two sealing rings 9. The motor housing oil inlet 101 may communicate with the annular oil chamber 15. The vehicle power system also includes an oil pump for actively supplying oil to the annular oil chamber 15, and subsequently to the planetary pin oil inlet passage 13 and the differential pin oil inlet passage. Actively pumped pressurized oil requires less oil for lubrication compared to passively agitated oil, allowing for a lower oil level.

[0061] Planetary carrier 1 and planetary cover 2 support planetary gear 3. Planetary pin 5 is fixedly connected to planetary carrier 1 and planetary cover 2. Planetary gear 3 is rotatably connected to planetary pin 5 relative to planetary carrier 1 and planetary cover 2. Planetary pin 5 can be a hollow cylinder, and one axial end of planetary pin 5 is sealed by planetary carrier 1. Planetary gear 3 is fitted onto planetary pin 5, and planetary pin 5 supports planetary gear 3. Gear bearing 4 is fitted onto planetary pin 5. Gear bearing 4 (e.g., needle roller bearing) can be arranged between planetary gear 3 and planetary pin 5 in the radial direction of planetary gear 3. One planetary gear 3 can be supported by one or more (e.g., two) gear bearings 4. For example, two gear bearings 4 can be arranged along axial direction A, and the two gear bearings 4 can be separated by washers 41. Two gear bearings 4 are arranged on the same planetary pin 5, and washers 41 are arranged between the two gear bearings 4. Washer 41 may have a retaining ring extending radially inward from the body of washer 41. The retaining ring may extend to the outer circumferential surface of planetary pin 5. Oil supplied from the oil outlet to the planetary pin 5 is separated by the retaining ring and flows to both axial sides of planetary pin 5. For example, two or two sets of bearing oil outlets 51 may be provided on both axial sides of the retaining ring, and the amount of oil on both sides can be controlled so that both gear bearings 4 on both sides of the retaining ring are adequately lubricated.

[0062] The planetary gearbox can be equipped with multiple (e.g., 3) planetary gears 3 in the circumferential direction C. The axial ends of the inner peripheral wall of the planetary pin 5 can be chamfered to facilitate the flow of oil into the interior of the planetary pin 5.

[0063] The planetary carrier body 11 may be provided with a planetary pin oil inlet channel 13. One end (upstream end, radially inner end) of the planetary pin oil inlet channel 13 is connected to the annular oil chamber 15, and the other end (downstream end, radially outer end) of the planetary pin oil inlet channel 13 is connected to the hollow part of the planetary pin 5. The planetary pin oil inlet channel 13 may extend obliquely relative to the radial R and axial A of the planetary gearbox.

[0064] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the planetary pin oil inlet channel 13 can be provided in multiple ways (e.g., 3 ways) along the circumferential C of the planetary gearbox.

[0065] The motor housing oil inlet 101 can be connected to the annular oil chamber 15, so that the planetary pin oil inlet channel 13 can be connected to the motor housing oil inlet 101 through the annular oil chamber 15. When the planetary gearbox is working normally, the planet carrier 1 rotates relative to the motor housing 100. When the planet carrier 1 rotates, the planetary pin oil inlet channel 13 also always remains connected to the motor housing oil inlet 101, so that oil can be continuously supplied to the planetary pin oil inlet channel 13.

[0066] Planetary gear 3 can be a double gear (stepped gear), comprising a major diameter gear 31 and a minor diameter gear 32, which are coaxially connected together. The gear ring G2 can be connected to the gearbox housing 8. The major diameter gear 31 can mesh with the sun gear G1, and the minor diameter gear 32 can mesh with the gear ring G2. Planetary gear washers 33 can be provided at both axial ends of the planetary gear 3, and the planetary gear washers 33 can be fitted onto the planetary pins.

[0067] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the planetary pin 5 may be provided with a bearing oil outlet 51, a differential gear oil outlet 52, and a minor diameter gear oil outlet 53. The bearing oil outlet 51, differential gear oil outlet 52, and minor diameter gear oil outlet 53 all penetrate the peripheral wall of the planetary pin 5. It is understood that these oil outlets may be located at different positions in the circumferential direction of the planetary pin 5; therefore, it is difficult to show all these oil outlets simultaneously in a single cross-sectional view. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The oil outlet and oil channel are represented in solid form for easy observation.

[0068] The bearing oil outlet 51 can be aligned with the gear bearing 4, the differential gear oil outlet 52 can be aligned with the meshing area of ​​the differential gear 7 and the side gear G3, and the small diameter gear oil outlet 53 can be aligned with the meshing area of ​​the small diameter gear 32 and the gear ring G2.

[0069] The planetary carrier 1 is provided with a planetary carrier bearing lubrication channel 16, one end (upstream end) of which can extend to one axial end of the gear bearing 4. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The other end (downstream end) of the planetary carrier bearing lubrication channel 16 can extend to the location of the planetary carrier bearing 14. Thus, after the oil flows through the gear bearing 4, it can flow to the planetary carrier bearing 14 through the planetary carrier bearing lubrication channel 16 to lubricate the planetary carrier bearing 14.

[0070] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The unidirectional arrows indicate the direction of oil flow. Pressurized oil, supplied by an oil pump, enters the annular oil chamber 15 through the motor housing oil inlet 101, and then flows through the planetary pin oil inlet channel 13 to the interior of the planetary pin 5. It then flows through the bearing oil outlet 51 to the gear bearing 4, providing lubrication. From there, it flows axially to both sides to lubricate the planetary gear 3 and its end-plate planetary gears 33, before flowing to the meshing positions of the planet carrier bearing 14, the sun gear G1, and the major diameter gear 31. Figure 2 The left side of the planetary gear) and the meshing position of the gear ring G2 and the small diameter gear ( Figure 2The oil flows through the differential gear oil outlet 52 to the meshing position of the differential gear 7 and the side gear G3. It also flows through the minor diameter gear oil outlet 53 to the meshing position of the gear ring G2 and the minor diameter gear. The oil flows to the other axial end of the planetary pin 5. Figure 2 (From the right end of the middle) can flow to the planetary cover bearing 21.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the differential pin 6 can be fixedly connected to the planetary carrier 1 and the planetary cover 2, and the differential gear 7 can be rotatably connected to the differential pin 6 relative to the planetary carrier 1 and the planetary cover 2. The differential pin 6 is used to support the differential gear 7, and the differential gear 7 can be sleeved on the differential pin 6. The differential pin 6 can be a hollow cylindrical shape. Multiple (e.g., 6) differential gears 7 can be provided along the circumferential direction C of the planetary gearbox. Differential gear shims 71 can be provided at both ends of the axial direction of the differential gear 7, and the differential gear shims 71 can be sleeved on the differential pin 6.

[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, the planetary cover 2 and the gearbox housing 8 can be connected by the planetary cover bearing 21, and the planetary cover 2 can rotate relative to the gearbox housing.

[0073] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The planetary carrier 1 may be provided with differential pin oil inlet channels, and multiple differential pin oil inlet channels may be provided along the circumference C of the planetary gearbox. One end (upstream end) of the differential pin oil inlet channel may be connected to the annular oil chamber 15, and the other end (downstream end) of the differential pin oil inlet channel may be connected to the differential pin 6.

[0074] Specifically, the differential pin oil inlet passages may include a first differential pin oil inlet passage 17, a second differential pin oil inlet passage 18, and a third differential pin oil inlet passage 19. The first differential pin oil inlet passage 17 can extend radially R along the planetary gearbox. One end (upstream end) of the first differential pin oil inlet passage 17 can be connected to the annular oil chamber 15, and the other end (downstream end) of the first differential pin oil inlet passage 17 can be connected to the second differential pin oil inlet passage 18. The second differential pin oil inlet passage 18 can extend axially A along the planetary gearbox. One end (downstream end) of the second differential pin oil inlet passage 18 can be connected to the third differential pin oil inlet passage 19. Multiple first differential pin oil inlet passages 17 (e.g., 3) and multiple second differential pin oil inlet passages 18 (e.g., 3) can be provided. One second differential pin oil inlet passage 18 can communicate with multiple (e.g., two) third differential pin oil inlet passages 19. The differential pin 6 can be a hollow cylindrical shape, and the third oil inlet channel 19 of the differential pin can extend into the interior of the differential pin 6.

[0075] See Figure 1, Figure 4 The first oil inlet passage 17 of the differential pin can extend generally along the radial direction R of the planetary gearbox. Here, "generally" means that the first oil inlet passage 17 extends approximately along the radial direction R of the planetary gearbox, but can be inclined to a certain extent relative to the radial direction R. In one example, the further outward the radial direction, the further the first oil inlet passage 17 is towards the opposite axial direction. Figure 1 , Figure 4 (The right side of the middle) is tilted.

[0076] The differential pin 6 may be provided with differential gear oil holes 61. The oil flowing out of the differential gear oil holes 61 can lubricate the connection between the differential pin 6 and the differential gear 7, and flows along the axial direction A towards both ends of the differential gear 7 and towards the differential gear shims 71. Multiple differential gear oil holes 61 may be provided along the axial direction A of the differential pin 6, and multiple differential gear oil holes 61 may be provided along the circumference of the differential pin 6.

[0077] The planetary cover 2 may be provided with a planetary cover bearing oil supply hole, which can be aligned with the planetary pin 5, so that the oil flowing out from the planetary pin 5 can flow to the planetary cover bearing 21 through the planetary cover bearing oil supply hole, providing lubrication for the planetary cover bearing 21.

[0078] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 The unidirectional arrows indicate the direction of oil flow. Pressurized oil is supplied by an oil pump through the motor housing inlet 101 into the annular oil chamber 15, flowing sequentially through the first differential pin inlet channel 17, the second differential pin inlet channel 18, and the third differential pin inlet channel 19 to the interior of the differential pin 6. Then, it flows through the differential gear oil hole 61 to the connection point between the differential pin 6 and the differential gear 7, and along the axial direction A towards both ends of the differential gear 7 towards the differential gear shim 71.

[0079] This application is not limited to the above embodiments.

In addition, the following description is provided.

[0080] (1) The pressure oil is used to actively lubricate the parts that need lubrication, so it is not affected by the tilt of the gearbox and the amount of lubricating oil is easy to ensure. In addition, the use of active lubrication does not require the gears to stir the oil, so less oil is needed and the oil level can be lower, which can reduce the power loss caused by the gears stirring the oil in the planetary gearbox.

[0081] (2) The oil guide channel is located on the planetary carrier 1, planetary pin 5 and differential pin 6. The channel is easy to process and does not require additional parts to form the oil guide channel. It has a simple structure, low cost and high reliability.
