TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electric vehicles, in particular to a power assembly and an electric vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The bearings of the speed reducer are usually cooled and lubricated by lubricating oil to reduce temperature and wear, so as to improve the working efficiency of the power assembly and ensure the safe operation of the power assembly. The rotation of the speed reducer can drive the lubricating oil into the oil groove of the bearing seat, thereby cooling and lubricating the bearings. However, this method can cause insufficient lubricating oil supply to the bearings, affecting the cooling and lubrication effect and reducing the efficiency of the power assembly. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] The present application provides a power assembly and an electric vehicle, which can improve the oil amount of the lubricating oil used for cooling and lubricating the bearings of the speed reducer, and improve the cooling and lubrication effect of the bearings.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a power assembly, the housing of the power assembly comprises a groove on the outer wall surface of one end of the power assembly in the axial direction of the power assembly, the groove is used for accommodating a gear and a differential of a speed reducer and is used for enclosing the gear and the differential with an end cover, the gear is used for connecting the differential, wherein: the bottom wall of the groove comprises another groove, the end cover, the groove and the other groove are arranged in sequence in the axial direction of the power assembly, the inner diameter of the other groove is smaller than the inner diameter of the groove, and the differential is used for extending into the other groove through the bottom wall of the groove.

[0005] In the power assembly provided by the present application, the groove is matched with the outer shape of the gear, and the other groove is matched with the outer shape of the differential, so that the spacing between the side wall of the groove and the side wall of the gear is reduced, and the spacing between the side wall of the other groove and the side wall of the differential is reduced. The design of the groove and the other groove is more suitable for the outer shape of the gear and the differential. The side wall of the groove and the side wall of the gear form a flow path for the lubricating oil, and the side wall of the other groove and the side wall of the differential form a flow path for the lubricating oil. The cooperation between the side wall of the groove and the side wall of the gear helps to concentrate and guide the lubricating oil thrown out from the gear, and the cooperation between the side wall of the other groove and the side wall of the differential helps to concentrate and guide the lubricating oil thrown out from the differential. The rotation of the gear and the differential carries the lubricating oil to a higher position, so that more lubricating oil can flow from the groove to the other groove along the flow path. The lubricating oil in the other groove continues to be thrown out of the other groove with the rotation of the differential, and finally enters the bearings to cool and lubricate the bearings. The oil amount of the lubricating oil used for cooling and lubricating the bearings of the speed reducer is improved, and the cooling and lubrication effect of the bearings is improved.

[0006] In one embodiment, the side wall of the other groove is inclined towards the axis of the other groove in the direction from the groove opening to the groove bottom. During the operation of the differential, the inclined side wall of the other groove can make the lubricating oil flow along the inclined side wall under the action of centrifugal force and the guiding of the inclined side wall, effectively deliver the lubricating oil out of the other groove, and avoid the problem of insufficient lubricating oil for cooling and lubricating the bearing due to the accumulation of lubricating oil between the side wall of the other groove and the side wall of the differential.

[0007] In one embodiment, the inner wall surface of the other groove is an arc surface, which is a smooth surface without protrusions or depressions, does not hinder the flow of lubricating oil, can reduce the resistance of lubricating oil during flow, and improve the flowability of lubricating oil. The smooth arc surface can avoid the lubricating oil remaining in the other groove, and ensure that more lubricating oil flows out of the other groove to the bearing for cooling and lubricating the bearing.

[0008] In one embodiment, the length of the other groove in the axial direction of the power assembly is greater than the length of the one groove, the differential has more internal gear assemblies, and requires more space for installation. The length of the other groove in the axial direction of the power assembly being greater than the length of the one groove enables the other groove to accommodate more differentials, and is conducive to better matching of the other groove and the differential.

The size of the other groove can be adaptively designed according to the size of the differential itself, to ensure that the size and shape of the other groove and the differential located in the other groove are more matched. At the same time, it is helpful to better constrain the lubricating oil between the side wall of the differential and the side wall of the other groove, so that the lubricating oil is more concentrated under the driving of the differential, and flows into the bearing along the flow path formed between the side wall of the differential and the side wall of the other groove, to cool and lubricate the bearing.

[0010] In one embodiment, the distance between the side wall of the one groove and the side wall of the gear in the radial direction of the gear is within the range of 2-4 mm, and the distance between the gear and the bottom wall of the one groove in the axial direction of the power assembly is within the range of 2-4 mm.

At the same time, it is helpful to better constrain the lubricating oil between the side wall of the gear and the side wall of the one groove, so that the lubricating oil is more concentratedly splashed under the driving of the gear and flows into the bearing along the flow path formed between the side wall of the gear and the side wall of the one groove, thereby cooling and lubricating the bearing.

[0012] The spacing between the gear in the axial direction of the power assembly and the bottom wall of the one groove is in the range of 2-4 mm, and the axial dimension of the one groove can be adaptively designed according to the dimension of the gear itself, so as to ensure the normal work of the gear, and it is helpful to better constrain the lubricating oil between the side wall of the gear and the side wall of the one groove, so that the lubricating oil is more concentratedly splashed under the driving of the gear. At the same time, it is helpful to reduce the axial dimension of the power assembly.

[0016] In the embodiments of the present application, one oil groove is used to contain and store lubricating oil. One oil groove is used to connect one groove and a third groove. When the gear rotates, due to the centrifugal force, the lubricating oil is thrown out of one groove and splashes into another groove. The splashed lubricating oil is collected and stored by one oil groove. The lubricating oil in one oil groove further flows into the third groove to cool and lubricate the bearing, thereby improving the cooling and lubricating effect of the bearing and improving the performance of the power assembly.

[0017] In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the other groove includes another oil groove. The sum of the length of the bottom wall of the one oil groove along the radial direction of the other groove and the length of the bottom wall of the other groove is greater than the length of the bottom wall of the other groove.

The axes of the one recess 410, the through hole 411 and the other recess 420 are collinear, which facilitates the differential 230 to pass through the through hole 411 from the one recess 410 to the other recess 420, and at the same time, the lubricating oil flows from the one recess 410 to the other recess 420 through the through hole 411, thereby saving the flow path of the lubricating oil.

[0067] It should be understood that "one", "another" and "third" and the like used in the present application are only used for the purpose of distinguishing description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance, nor indicating or implying sequence.

[0068] The opening of the other recess 420 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10 and the opening of the one recess 410 are oriented in the same direction. The inner diameter of the one recess 410 is R1, and the inner diameter of the other recess 420 is R2, and the inner diameter R2 of the other recess 420 is smaller than the inner diameter R1 of the one recess 410, and the differential 230 is used to pass through the bottom wall of the one recess 410 to extend into the other recess 420, and the other recess 420 is used to accommodate part of the differential 230. In the embodiment of the present application, the gear 220 is sleeved on the outside of the differential 230, the radial length of the gear 220 is greater than the radial length of the differential 230, the opening of the other recess 420 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10 and the opening of the one recess 410 are oriented in the same direction, and the inner diameter R2 of the other recess 420 is smaller than the inner diameter R1 of the one recess 410, which can ensure that the differential 230 passes through the bottom wall of the one recess 410 to extend into the other recess 420 when installed. The inner diameter R1 of the one recess 410 is larger, and the larger one recess 410 provides sufficient space to accommodate the gear 220. The inner diameter R2 of the other recess 420 is smaller, which is used to accommodate the differential 230 with a radial length smaller than the gear 220. The one recess 410 and the other recess 420 present a stepped recess design, which can utilize recesses with different inner diameters to adapt to the different sizes of the gear 220 and the differential 230, both meeting the large size installation requirements of the gear 220 and the small size installation requirements of the differential 230.

[0069] The power assembly 10 provided in the present application, one recess 410 is adapted to the shape of the gear 220, and the other recess 420 is adapted to the shape of the differential 230, so that the distance between the side wall of the one recess 410 and the side wall of the gear 220 is reduced, and the distance between the side wall of the other recess 420 and the side wall of the differential 230 is reduced. The design of the one recess 410 and the other recess 420 is more suitable for the shape of the gear 220 and the differential 230. The side wall of the one recess 410 and the side wall of the gear 220, and the side wall of the other recess 420 and the side wall of the differential 230 form the flow path of the lubricating oil. The cooperation between the side wall of the one recess 410 and the side wall of the gear 220 helps to concentrate and guide the lubricating oil thrown out from the gear 220, and the cooperation between the side wall of the other recess 420 and the side wall of the differential 230 helps to concentrate and guide the lubricating oil thrown out from the differential 230. The rotation of the gear 220 and the differential 230 carries the lubricating oil to a higher position, so that more lubricating oil can flow from the one recess 410 to the other recess 420 along the flow path. The lubricating oil in the other recess 420 continues to be thrown out of the other recess 420 with the rotation of the differential 230, and finally enters the bearing 240 to cool and lubricate the bearing 240.

[0070] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 1, Figure 6 In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 1, In one embodiment, the side wall of the other recess 420 is inclined towards the axis of the other recess 420 in the direction from the opening to the bottom of the other recess 420. In the embodiment of the present application, the direction of the opening of the other recess 420 is the X negative direction, the direction of the bottom of the other recess 420 is the X positive direction, the axis of the other recess 420 is parallel to the X direction, and the other recess 420 is symmetrical along the axis of the other recess 420. The bottom of the one recess 410 is communicated with the other recess 420, the side wall of the one recess 410 is inclined towards the axis of the other recess 420 in the X positive direction, and the inner diameter of the other recess 420 gradually decreases from the opening to the bottom. In one embodiment, the inner diameter of the other recess 420 decreases linearly from the opening to the bottom. The side wall of the other recess 420 is inclined towards the axis of the other recess 420 in the direction from the opening to the bottom of the other recess 420, so that the other recess 420 can be matched with the shape of the differential 230 and the flow path of the lubricating oil is optimized. Specifically, when the lubricating oil enters the other recess 420, the side wall of the other recess 420 is inclined, so that the lubricating oil is guided by the centrifugal force and the inclined side wall during the operation of the differential 230, the lubricating oil flows along the inclined side wall, and the lubricating oil is effectively transported out of the other recess 420, thereby avoiding the problem of insufficient lubricating oil for cooling and lubricating the bearing 240 caused by the accumulation of the lubricating oil between the side wall of the other recess 420 and the side wall of the differential 230.

[0071] The inclined side wall of the other recess 420 can form a guide slope when the differential 230 is installed, guiding the installation of the differential 230 and making it easier for the differential 230 to enter the other recess 420 during installation, avoiding friction between the differential 230 and the side wall of the other recess 420 during installation.

[0072] In an embodiment, Figure 7 Another schematic diagram of the power assembly is provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 As shown, the inner wall surface of the other recess 420 is arc-shaped. The inner wall surface of the other recess 420 refers to the surface of at least one of the side wall and the bottom wall of the other recess 420. The side wall of the other recess 420 refers to the wall of the other recess 420 in the circumferential direction. The bottom wall of the other recess 420 refers to the wall opposite to the slot of the other recess 420. In the embodiment of the present application, the bottom wall of the other recess 420 is the wall of the other recess 420 in the positive X direction, which is the same below. The arc-shaped surface is smooth and has no protrusions or depressions, which will not hinder the flow of lubricating oil. The cross section of the other recess 420 perpendicular to the axial direction of the other recess 420 is circular, and the distance from any point on the outer edge of the cross section to the center of the cross section is equal. The distance from any point on the surface of the bottom wall of the other recess 420 to the slot of the other recess 420 is equal, and the inner wall surface of the other recess 420 is smooth. The inner wall surface of the other recess 420 is arc-shaped, and the inner wall surface is smooth, which can reduce the resistance of the lubricating oil during flow and improve the flowability of the lubricating oil. At the same time, the smooth arc-shaped surface can avoid the lubricating oil remaining in the other recess 420, ensuring that more lubricating oil flows out of the other recess 420 to the bearing 240 for cooling and lubrication of the bearing 240.

[0073] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 As shown, the length of the one recess 410 in the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is D1, which is the distance from the slot to the bottom of the one recess 410, and is the depth of the one recess 410. The length of the other recess 420 in the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is D2, which is the distance from the slot to the bottom of the other recess 420, and is the depth of the other recess 420. The length D2 of the other recess 420 in the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is greater than the length D1 of the one recess 410. In the embodiment of the present application, the differential 230 has more internal gear assemblies, which requires more space for installation of the differential 230. The length D2 of the other recess 420 in the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is greater than the length D1 of the one recess 410, so that the other recess 420 can accommodate more differentials 230, which is conducive to better matching of the other recess 420 and the differential 230. In an embodiment, the internal gear assemblies of the differential 230 include planetary gears and half shaft gears, etc.

[0074] In one embodiment, Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the gear, differential, one groove, and another groove provided in the embodiments of this application is shown in the attached diagram. Figure 8 As shown, the differential 230 is located within another recess 420. The distance between the sidewall of the other recess 420 and the sidewall of the differential 230 along the radial direction of the powertrain 10 is L1. Along the axial direction of the powertrain 10, the radial dimension of the differential 230 gradually decreases, while the distance between the sidewall of the other recess 420 and the sidewall of the differential 230 gradually increases along the axial direction of the powertrain 10. The distance L1 between the sidewall of the other recess 420 and the sidewall of the differential 230 along the radial direction of the powertrain 10 can be the average distance between the sidewall of the other recess 420 and the sidewall of the differential 230. The distance L1 between the sidewall of the other recess 420 and the sidewall of the differential 230 along the radial direction of the powertrain 10 is in the range of 2 mm to 4 mm. L1 can be 2 mm, 3 mm, or 4 mm, etc.

[0075] If the distance between the sidewall of the other groove 420 and the sidewall of the differential 230 is too small, the flow path of the lubricating oil between the sidewall of the other groove 420 and the sidewall of the differential 230 will be too narrow, increasing the resistance to the flow of lubricating oil and hindering its flow. If the distance between the sidewall of the other groove 420 and the sidewall of the differential 230 is too large, the lubricating oil will splash and disperse, failing to maintain a concentrated flow path. The lubricating oil will not easily flow to the bearing 240, resulting in less lubricating oil at the bearing 240 and affecting the cooling and lubrication effect of the bearing 240.

[0076] In this embodiment, the distance L1 between the sidewall of the other groove 420 along the radial direction of the powertrain 10 and the sidewall of the differential 230 is in the range of 2 mm to 4 mm. The size of the other groove 420 can be adaptively designed according to the size of the differential 230 itself to ensure that the size and shape of the other groove 420 are more matched with the size and shape of the differential 230 located in the other groove 420. At the same time, it helps to better constrain the lubricating oil between the sidewall of the differential 230 and the sidewall of the other groove 420, so that the lubricating oil splashes more concentratedly under the action of the differential 230, and flows into the bearing 240 along the flow path formed between the sidewall of the differential 230 and the sidewall of the other groove 420, so as to cool and lubricate the bearing 240.

[0077] In one embodiment, see Figure 8As shown, the axial direction of the gear 220 is parallel to the axial direction of the power assembly 10, and the radial direction of the gear 220 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the gear 220. The spacing between the side wall of the one groove 410 and the side wall of the gear 220 along the radial direction of the gear 220 is L2, and when the spacing between the side wall of the one groove 410 and the side wall of the gear 220 along the radial direction of the power assembly 10 is not equal along the axial direction of the power assembly 10, the spacing L2 between the side wall of the one groove 410 and the side wall of the gear 220 along the radial direction of the power assembly 10 can be the average spacing between the side wall of the one groove 410 and the side wall of the gear 220 along the radial direction of the power assembly 10. The spacing L2 between the side wall of the one groove 410 and the side wall of the gear 220 along the radial direction of the gear 220 is in the range of 2 mm to 4 mm. L2 can be 2 mm, 3 mm, or 4 mm, etc.

[0078] If the spacing between the side wall of the one groove 410 and the side wall of the gear 220 along the radial direction of the gear 220 is too small, the flow path of the lubricating oil between the side wall of the one groove 410 and the side wall of the gear 220 is too narrow, the resistance of the lubricating oil flow is increased, and the flow of the lubricating oil is hindered. If the spacing between the side wall of the one groove 410 and the side wall of the gear 220 is too large, the lubricating oil is splashed and dispersed, the concentrated flow path cannot be maintained, the lubricating oil is not easy to flow into another groove 420, the amount of lubricating oil at the bearing 240 is reduced, and the cooling and lubrication effect of the bearing 240 is affected.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the spacing L2 between the side wall of the one groove 410 and the side wall of the gear 220 along the radial direction of the gear 220 is in the range of 2 mm to 4 mm, and the radial dimension of the one groove 410 can be adaptively designed according to the size of the gear 220 itself, to ensure that the size and shape of the one groove 410 and the gear 220 located in the one groove 410 are more matched. At the same time, it is helpful to better constrain the lubricating oil between the side wall of the gear 220 and the side wall of the one groove 410, so that the lubricating oil is more concentrated under the driving of the gear 220, and flows along the flow path formed between the side wall of the gear 220 and the side wall of the one groove 410 to the bearing 240, to cool and lubricate the bearing 240.

[0080] The distance between the axial gear 220 of the power assembly 10 and the bottom wall of the groove 410 is L3, which is the distance between the side of the gear 220 away from the end cover 500 and the bottom wall of the groove 410. The distance L3 between the axial gear 220 of the power assembly 10 and the bottom wall of the groove 410 is in the range of 2-4 mm. L3 can be 2 mm, 3 mm, or 4 mm, etc. If the distance between the axial gear 220 of the power assembly 10 and the bottom wall of the groove 410 is too small, the flow path between the side wall of the groove 410 and the side wall of the gear 220 is too narrow, the resistance of the lubricating oil flow is increased, which will hinder the flow of the lubricating oil. If the distance between the axial gear 220 of the power assembly 10 and the bottom wall of the groove 410 is too large, the large axial distance may cause the gear to be offset in the axial direction, and also increase the axial size of the power assembly 10.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the distance L3 between the axial gear 220 of the power assembly 10 and the bottom wall of the groove 410 is in the range of 2-4 mm, and the axial size of the groove 410 can be adaptively designed according to the size of the gear 220 itself to ensure the normal operation of the gear 220, which helps to better constrain the lubricating oil between the side wall of the gear 220 and the side wall of the groove 410, and make the lubricating oil more concentrated under the driving of the gear 220. At the same time, it helps to reduce the axial size of the power assembly 10.

[0082] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the bottom wall of the other groove 420 includes a third groove 430, and the bottom wall of the other groove 420 is the wall of the other groove 420 in the positive direction of X. The groove 410, the other groove 420 and the third groove 430 are arranged in the axial direction of the power assembly in sequence, and the groove 410, the other groove 420 and the third groove 430 are coaxially arranged, the axes of the groove 410, the other groove 420 and the third groove 430 are collinear, and the direction of the axes of the groove 410, the other groove 420 and the third groove 430 is parallel to the axial direction of the power assembly 10.

[0083] The bottom wall of another groove 420 includes another through hole 421, which penetrates the bottom wall of the other groove along the axial direction of the drive motor 100. The other through hole 421 connects the other groove 420 on both sides along the axial direction of the powertrain 10. Along the axial direction of the powertrain 10, the other groove 420 and the third groove 430 are connected by the other through hole 421. The axes of the other groove 420, the other through hole 421, and the third groove 430 are collinear, which facilitates the flow of lubricating oil from one groove 410 through a through hole 411 into another groove 420, saving the flow path of the lubricating oil.

[0084] Along the axial direction of the powertrain 10, the opening of the third groove 430 and the opening of the other groove 420 face the same direction. The inner diameter of the third groove 430 is R3, which is smaller than the inner diameter R2 of the other groove 420, matching the shape of the differential 230. One axial end of the differential 230 is used to extend into the third groove 430 through the bottom wall of the other groove 420. The differential 230 has two ends along the axial direction of the powertrain 10. In this embodiment, the axial end of the differential 230 refers to the end of the differential 230 along the positive X direction. The third groove 430 is located on the side of the other groove 420 in the positive X direction, and the end of the differential 230 in the positive X direction extends into the third groove 430 through the bottom wall of the other groove 420 along the positive X direction. The opening of the third groove 430 and the opening of the other groove 420 face the same direction. The axes of the other groove 420, the other through hole 421 and the third groove 430 are collinear, which makes it easy for one axial end of the differential 230 to pass through the other through hole 421 from the other groove 420 and extend into the third groove 430.

[0085] See Figure 8As shown, the inner wall of the third recess 430 is used to fix the outer ring 241 of the bearing 240 of the decelerator 200, and the inner ring 242 of the bearing 240 is used to fix the differential 230. The inner wall of the third recess 430 refers to at least one of the side wall and the bottom wall of the third recess 430, the side wall of the third recess 430 refers to the wall of the third recess 430 in the circumferential direction, and the bottom wall of the third recess 430 refers to the wall opposite to the slot of the third recess 430, and in the embodiment of the present application, the bottom wall of the third recess 430 is the wall of the third recess 430 in the X positive direction, which is the same below. The bearing 240 comprises the coaxially arranged outer ring 241 and the inner ring 242, and the outer ring 241 surrounds the outer side of the inner ring 242. The bearing 240 is installed in the third recess 430, the third recess 430 is used to fix the outer ring 241 of the bearing 240, and the outer ring 241 of the bearing 240 is fixed with the inner wall of the third recess 430. The inner ring 242 of the bearing 240 is used to be sleeved on the axial one end of the differential 230, and the inner ring 242 of the bearing 240 is fixed with the axial one end of the differential 230, so as to realize the position fixing between the axial one end of the differential 230 and the housing 400, and ensure the stable installation of the axial one end of the differential 230 in the power assembly 10.

[0086] In an embodiment, the inner ring 242 and the outer ring 241 of the bearing 240 have a gap therebetween, and a rolling element is arranged in the gap between the inner ring 242 and the outer ring 241, so that the inner ring 242 and the outer ring 241 of the bearing 240 can relatively rotate with the central axis of the inner ring 242 and the outer ring 241 as the rotation axis, so that the axial one end of the differential 230 can relatively rotate with the housing 400 to output power.

[0087] In an embodiment, the decelerator 200 comprises at least two bearings 240, and the at least two bearings 240 are respectively sleeved on the axial two ends of the differential 230 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, the one recess 410, the other recess 420 and the third recess 430 are sequentially communicated along the axial direction of the power assembly 10, the lubricating oil splashes under the stirring of the gear 220 and the differential 230, sequentially flows into the third recess 430 along the inner walls of the one recess 410 and the other recess 420, and cools and lubricates the bearing 240 in the third recess 430.

[0089] In an embodiment, Figure 9 A schematic view of an oil groove provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 6. Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, the side wall of the other recess 420 comprises an oil groove 422, which is at least partially located on the side wall of the other recess 420. In the embodiment of the present application, the oil groove 422 is used to contain and store lubricating oil. The length of the oil groove 422 in the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is the distance between the two ends of the oil groove 422 in the axial direction of the power assembly 10, the length of the other recess 420 in the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is the distance between the groove bottom and the groove opening of the other recess 420 in the axial direction of the power assembly 10, the length of the oil groove 422 in the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is greater than or equal to the length of the other recess 420, and one end of the oil groove 422 in the axial direction of the power assembly 10 penetrates the bottom wall of the recess 410, and the oil groove 422 is used to communicate the recess 410 and the third recess 430. When the gear 220 rotates, the lubricating oil will be thrown out of the recess 410 and splashed into the other recess 420 due to the centrifugal force, and the splashed lubricating oil is collected and stored in the oil groove 422, and the lubricating oil in the oil groove 422 further flows into the third recess 430 to cool and lubricate the bearing 240.

[0090] It can be understood that the other recess 420 is designed according to the shape of the differential 230, so that the distance between the side wall of the differential 230 and the side wall of the other recess 420 is reduced, the space between the side wall of the differential 230 and the side wall of the other recess 420 that can contain lubricating oil is reduced, and the oil groove 422 is provided on the side wall of the other recess 420. The oil groove 422 can increase the space between the side wall of the differential 230 and the side wall of the other recess 420. The oil groove 422 can collect the lubricating oil thrown out by the gear 220 when rotating, and the lubricating oil collected through the oil groove 422 flows from the oil groove 422 to the third recess 430, thereby cooling and lubricating the bearing 240 in the third recess 430, improving the cooling and lubricating effect of the bearing 240, and improving the performance of the power assembly 10.

[0091] In one embodiment, one oil groove 422 has two ends along the axial direction of the power assembly 10. In the embodiment of the present application, one end of the oil groove 422 penetrates the bottom wall of the recess 410 in the negative X direction, so that the oil groove 422 communicates with the recess 410. The other end of the oil groove 422 extends to the bottom wall of the other recess 420 in the positive X direction. The oil groove 422 is partially located on the side wall of the recess 410 and partially located on the bottom wall of the other recess 420. The length of the oil groove 422 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is greater than the length of the other recess 420. The two ends of the oil groove 422 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10 are used to communicate with the recess 410 and the third recess 430, respectively. The lubricating oil in the recess 410 splashes into the other recess 420 with the rotation of the gear 220 and is contained in the oil groove 422, and then flows into the third recess 430 to cool and lubricate the bearing 240. The length of the oil groove 422 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is greater than the length of the other recess 420, so that the oil groove 422 can contain more lubricating oil.

[0092] In one embodiment, one oil groove 422 has two ends along the axial direction of the power assembly 10. In the embodiment of the present application, one end of the oil groove 422 penetrates the bottom wall of the recess 410 in the negative X direction, so that the oil groove 422 communicates with the recess 410. The other end of the oil groove 422 extends to the bottom wall of the other recess 420 in the positive X direction.

The length of the oil groove 422 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is greater than the length of the other recess 420. The two ends of the oil groove 422 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10 are used to communicate with the recess 410 and the third recess 430, respectively. The lubricating oil in the recess 410 splashes into the other recess 420 with the rotation of the gear 220 and is contained in the oil groove 422, and then flows into the third recess 430 to cool and lubricate the bearing 240. The length of the oil groove 422 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is greater than the length of the other recess 420, so that the oil groove 422 can contain more lubricating oil.

The bottom wall of the other recess 420 includes the other oil groove 423, which can increase the volume of the oil groove and contain more lubricating oil. The two ends of the other oil groove 423 along the radial direction of the other recess 420 communicate with the bottom wall of the oil groove 422 and the side wall of the third recess 430, respectively.

The third oil groove 431 extends to the bottom wall of the third recess 430 at the end in the positive X direction, and partially locates on the side wall of the one recess 410 and partially locates on the bottom wall of the third recess 430. The length of the third oil groove 431 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is greater than the length of the third recess 430. The two ends of the third oil groove 431 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10 are respectively used to communicate with the other oil groove 423 and the third recess 430. The lubricating oil in the one recess 410 splashes into the other recess 420 with the rotation of the gear 220, is contained in the one oil groove 422, and then flows into the third recess 430 along the other oil groove 423 to cool and lubricate the bearing 240.

In the embodiment of the present application, the third oil groove 431 penetrates the bottom wall of the other recess 420 at the end in the negative X direction, so that the third oil groove 431 communicates with the other recess 420. The third oil groove 431 extends to the bottom wall of the third recess 430 at the end in the positive X direction, and partially locates on the side wall of the one recess 410 and partially locates on the bottom wall of the third recess 430. The length of the third oil groove 431 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10 is greater than the length of the third recess 430. The two ends of the third oil groove 431 along the axial direction of the power assembly 10 are respectively used to communicate with the other oil groove 423 and the third recess 430. The lubricating oil in the one recess 410 splashes into the other recess 420 with the rotation of the gear 220, is contained in the one oil groove 422, and then flows into the third recess 430 along the other oil groove 423 to cool and lubricate the bearing 240.

[0098] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the differential 230 is used to connect the half shaft 40, and the differential 230 has two ends along the axial direction of the power assembly 10. The two ends of the differential 230 are respectively in driving connection with the half shaft 40, and the half shaft 40 receives power transmitted by the differential 230. The half shaft 40 is used to connect the wheel 20 and transmit power to the wheel 20. The differential 230 can ensure that the left and right wheels of the electric vehicle can rotate at different speeds when the electric vehicle turns. The power assembly 10 includes a driving motor 100, and the driving motor 100 is in driving connection with the reducer 200. The motor shaft of the driving motor 100 is in driving connection with the reducer 200 and drives the wheel 20 of the electric vehicle 1 through the reducer 200. The motor shaft 110 of the driving motor 100 is arranged in parallel with the half shaft 40 along the radial direction of the motor shaft 110.

[0099] The side wall of the other groove 420 includes at least two one oil grooves 422, and the number of one oil grooves 422 is at least two, which can be two, three, or four, etc. The side wall of the other groove 420 includes at least two one oil grooves 422, which can accommodate more lubricating oil, ensuring that more lubricating oil can enter the third groove 430 to cool and lubricate the bearing 240, improving the cooling and lubrication effect of the bearing 240. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of one oil grooves 422 is taken as two for illustration.

[0100] Two one-groove oil tanks 422 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the other groove 420 and are located on both sides of the axis of the other groove 420 in the direction of the motor shaft 110 towards the half shaft 40. In the embodiment of the present application, the direction of the motor shaft 110 towards the half shaft 40 is the Y reverse direction, the axis of the other groove 420 is in the X direction, and the two one-groove oil tanks 422 are located on the Y positive side and the Y reverse side of the axis of the other groove 420 respectively with the axis of the other groove 420 as the boundary.

[0101] The electric vehicle 1 has a forward working condition and a reverse working condition. When the electric vehicle 1 is in the forward and reverse working conditions, the rotating directions of the wheels 20 of the electric vehicle 1 are different, the rotating directions of the gear 220 and the differential 230 are also different, and the directions of the splashing of the lubricating oil are also different. In the embodiment of the present application, the two one-groove oil tanks 422 are located on both sides of the axis of the other groove 420 in the direction of the motor shaft 110 towards the half shaft 40, which can take into account the working conditions of the electric vehicle 1 in the forward and reverse directions, and ensure that the lubricating oil can splash into the one-groove oil tank 422 and then enter the third groove 430 to provide lubricating oil for the bearing 240 in the third groove 430 when the electric vehicle 1 is in the forward and reverse directions, thereby enhancing the adaptability of the power assembly 10 in different working conditions. For example, when the electric vehicle 1 is in the forward direction, the lubricating oil splashes into the one-groove oil tank 422 located on the Y reverse side of the axis of the other groove 420, and when the electric vehicle 1 is in the reverse direction, the lubricating oil splashes into the one-groove oil tank 422 located on the Y positive side of the axis of the other groove 420.

[0102] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the outer wall surface 440 includes an oil outlet 441, which is connected with the oil inlet on the end cover 500 and is used to deliver lubricating oil to the end cover 500. The distances of the two one-groove oil tanks 422 to the oil outlet 441 are different in the direction of the one groove 410 towards the oil outlet 441, which can meet the lubricating requirements of the bearing 240 in different working conditions of the electric vehicle 1. In the embodiment of the present application, the one groove 410 and the oil outlet 441 are arranged in the Z direction, and the direction of the one groove 410 towards the oil outlet 441 is the Z reverse direction. The Z direction is the height direction of the power assembly 10, and the oil outlet 441 is located at the bottom of the power assembly 10. In the Z reverse direction, the distances of the two one-groove oil tanks 422 to the oil outlet 441 are different, and the positions of the two one-groove oil tanks 422 in the Z direction are different.

[0103] In an embodiment, two one-oil-grooves 422 are located on the Y positive direction side and the Y negative direction side of the axis of the other groove 420 respectively. The height of the one-oil-groove 422 located on the Y negative direction side of the axis of the other groove 420 in the Z direction is A3, the height of the one-oil-groove 422 located on the Y positive direction side of the axis of the other groove 420 in the Z direction is A4, and the height A3 of the one-oil-groove 422 located on the Y negative direction side of the axis of the other groove 420 in the Z direction is higher than the height A4 of the one-oil-groove 422 located on the Y positive direction side of the axis of the other groove 420 in the Z direction.

[0104] The electric vehicle 1 has a forward working condition and a backward working condition. When the electric vehicle 1 is in the forward and backward working conditions, the speed of the electric vehicle changes, the rotation speed of the gear 220 and the differential 230 changes, and the direction and speed of the splash of the lubricating oil also change accordingly.

[0105] When the electric vehicle 1 is in the forward working condition, the differential 230 has a high rotation speed, and the centrifugal force generated by the differential 230 is large. At this time, the differential 230 with a high rotation speed can bring the lubricating oil to a higher height, and then the lubricating oil falls back into the one-oil-groove 422 located on the Y negative direction side of the axis of the other groove 420 under the action of gravity, and then flows into the third groove 430 to lubricate the bearing 240 in the third groove 430, ensuring the lubrication and heat dissipation effect of the bearing 240 and meeting the lubrication requirement of the bearing 240 when the electric vehicle 1 is in the forward working condition.

[0106] When the electric vehicle 1 is in the backward working condition, the differential 230 has a low rotation speed, and the centrifugal force generated by the differential 230 is small. At this time, the differential 230 with a low rotation speed brings the lubricating oil to a lower height than the differential 230 with a high rotation speed, and then the lubricating oil falls back into the one-oil-groove 422 located on the Y positive direction side of the axis of the other groove 420 under the action of gravity, and then flows into the third groove 430 to lubricate the bearing 240 in the third groove 430, ensuring the lubrication and heat dissipation effect of the bearing and meeting the lubrication requirement of the bearing 240 when the electric vehicle 1 is in the backward working condition.

[0107] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 two one-oil-grooves 422 have different lengths along the circumference of the other groove 420. Two one-oil-grooves 422 have different lengths along the circumference of the other groove 420, two one-oil-grooves 422 have different volumes, two one-oil-grooves 422 can store lubricating oil with different volumes, and the size of one-oil-groove 422 can be adaptively designed according to different working conditions of the electric vehicle 1 to adapt to the cooling and lubrication requirements of the bearing 240 under different working conditions of the electric vehicle 1.

[0108] In one embodiment, the length of the oil groove 422 located on the Y-negative side of the axis of the other groove 420 along the circumference of the other groove 420 is greater than the length of the oil groove 422 located on the Y-positive side of the axis of the other groove 420 along the circumference of the other groove 420.

[0109] The electric vehicle 1 has a forward working condition and a reverse working condition. The rotating speeds of the wheels of the electric vehicle 1 are different when the electric vehicle 1 is in the forward and reverse working conditions, and the rotating speeds of the gear 220 and the differential 230 are also different, and the splashing speed of the lubricating oil is also different. When the electric vehicle 1 is in the forward working condition, the differential 230 has a relatively high rotating speed, the power assembly 10 generates relatively high heat, and the demand for the lubricating oil is relatively large. The length of the oil groove 422 located on the Y-negative side of the axis of the other groove 420 along the circumference of the other groove 420 is greater, and the oil groove 422 can store more lubricating oil. The lubricating oil flows into the third groove 430, and the cooling and lubricating effects of the bearing 240 in the third groove 430 are improved. When the electric vehicle 1 is in the reverse working condition, the differential 230 has a relatively low rotating speed, the power assembly 10 generates relatively low heat, and the demand for the lubricating oil is relatively small. The length of the oil groove 422 located on the Y-positive side of the axis of the other groove 420 along the circumference of the other groove 420 is small, and the lubricating oil stored in the oil groove 422 can meet the cooling and lubricating demands of the bearing 240 when the electric vehicle 1 is in the reverse working condition.
