Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the integrated device technical field, especially relates to a direct connection motor and gearbox integrated device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the active promotion of the national energy strategy and energy-saving emission reduction policy, electric drive technology has made significant progress in the field of small commercial logistics vehicles. Among them, the rear drive axle type transmission system has become the mainstream technical scheme in this field. The motor is the core power source of the rear drive axle type transmission system, which is responsible for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the vehicle. In the rear drive axle type transmission system, the motor and the gearbox are designed in an integrated manner, and the motor and the gearbox are connected through a flange, and the motor output shaft directly extends into the gearbox. Since the gearbox needs oil during operation, and the motor output shaft is in communication with the inside of the gearbox, the oil may seep into the motor through the gap between the output shaft and the flange when the oil is used for a long time, resulting in a decrease in motor performance or even failure. To prevent oil leakage, a skeleton oil seal is usually provided between the flange and the output shaft for sealing.

[0003] Currently, there are several solutions on the market to prevent oil in the gearbox from entering the motor, such as Figure 1 A typical motor assembly integrated machine is provided, which includes 1, motor housing, 2, motor shaft, 3, motor front bearing, 4, oil seal 1, 5, oil seal 2, 6, gearbox adapter shaft, 7, gearbox housing, 8, gearbox front bearing, 9, plug, 10, flow channel. The scheme is to assemble a bearing in front of the motor front bearing, and assemble oil seal 1 and oil seal 2 behind the gearbox front bearing, and oil seal 1 and oil seal 2 form an oil storage cavity, the oil storage cavity is in communication with the oil return channel, and the oil return channel is provided with an opening on the side facing the gearbox, and a one-way valve is installed on the opening to return the gear oil through the one-way valve when the oil seal fails. The scheme adds oil seal 2 to the motor input shaft to seal the motor input shaft, and sets up an oil return channel with a one-way valve to solve the problem of gear oil entering the motor assembly cavity in the gearbox assembly when the oil seal fails, increasing safety. However, the structure of this scheme is relatively complex, which will increase the size and weight of the whole machine, and the integration is low.

[0004] For example Figure 2 A coaxial electric drive axle sealing structure scheme is provided, Figure 2The scheme provides a motor shell 1, a bearing 2, an oil seal 3, and a motor shaft 4. The oil seal is arranged behind the front bearing of the motor. During operation, the oil in the gearbox can lubricate the front bearing of the motor. The sealing structure is arranged inside the gearbox shell, and the transmission system structure is more compact. However, the fixed particles generated during the operation of the gearbox can be suspended in the oil, causing wear on the lip of the oil seal. In severe cases, grooves can be formed on the surface of the rotating shaft, increasing the risk of oil leakage. Therefore, the device provided by the scheme is prone to oil leakage after a long time of work or improper assembly of the oil seal.

[0005] For example Figure 3 The typical gearbox direct-drive motor sealing scheme provided by the scheme is shown in the partial structure of Figure 3 The scheme provides a motor shell 1, a bearing 2, an oil seal 3, and a motor shaft 4. The oil seal is arranged behind the front bearing of the motor. During operation, the oil in the gearbox can lubricate the front bearing of the motor. The sealing structure is arranged inside the gearbox shell, and the transmission system structure is more compact. However, the fixed particles generated during the operation of the gearbox can be suspended in the oil, causing wear on the lip of the oil seal. In severe cases, grooves can be formed on the surface of the rotating shaft, increasing the risk of oil leakage. Therefore, the device provided by the scheme is prone to oil leakage after a long time of work or improper assembly of the oil seal. Figure 2 The scheme works in the same way as the scheme provided by the scheme. The lip of the oil seal is prone to wear, and the oil seal is prone to oil leakage. The oil can greatly reduce the service life of the front bearing of the motor, causing the bearing to be damaged and leading to motor boreout failure.

[0006] Therefore, the existing motor and gearbox oil sealing structure still has many problems. Due to the use of single sealing design, the sealing reliability is insufficient, and it is easy to fail under long-term operation or extreme working conditions, causing oil leakage and affecting equipment operation. The solid particles generated during the operation of the gearbox can be suspended in the oil, causing wear on the lip of the skeleton oil seal, and even forming grooves on the surface of the rotating shaft, increasing the risk of leakage. The leakage of oil into the motor can cause motor failure, and the repair of the rotating shaft after wear is difficult and costly, usually requiring replacement of the rotating shaft or the entire motor, increasing maintenance costs and causing resource waste. In addition, after the oil leaks, the motor or gearbox needs to be disassembled for cleaning and maintenance, which is time-consuming and tedious. The leaked oil may contaminate the inside of the motor, affecting its performance and even damaging it. The existing design does not fully consider the collection and treatment of oil leakage, resulting in oil spillage, causing environmental pollution and waste. In some designs, the motor bearing and gearbox bearing are separated, and the motor bearing cannot be lubricated by the gearbox oil, which shortens the service life of the bearing and increases the additional lubrication requirement.
