Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of power take-off mechanisms, specifically an electric drive bridge power take-off mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of automotive technology, electric drive axle assemblies are being used more and more widely in vehicles. In many work scenarios, vehicles need to be equipped with power take-off (PTO) drive units to achieve specific operational functions, such as ash blowing in powder tank trucks, tracked trailers, and concrete mixer trucks. However, existing electric drive axle assemblies are compact in terms of vehicle space, and the space around the PTO is very limited.

[0003] When a large power take-off (PTO) unit is required, such as the PTO with a pulley needed in the ash blowing scenario of a powder tanker truck, the pulley is too large to be installed on the PTO of the electric drive axle. In this case, the vehicle often has to install an additional PTO motor for operation, which not only increases the cost and complexity of the vehicle, but also occupies more vehicle space. At the same time, the additional PTO motor also increases energy consumption and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides an electric drive bridge power take-off mechanism, which allows the power take-off device to be arranged according to actual needs without the need for an additional power take-off motor, thereby reducing the space occupied by the power take-off component and reducing energy consumption.

[0005] An electric drive bridge power take-off mechanism, characterized in that it comprises:

[0006] The electric drive axle assembly includes a drive motor and a protruding power take-off shaft;

[0007] A power take-off (PTO) device that converts the mechanical energy of the drive shaft into hydraulic energy;

[0008] Transmission pipelines;

[0009] And hydraulic power actuators, which convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy for power output;

[0010] The protruding power take-off shaft of the electric drive bridge assembly is connected to the input end of the power take-off conversion device. The hydraulic output end of the power take-off conversion device is connected to the input end of the hydraulic power actuator through a connecting pipeline. The power output shaft of the hydraulic power actuator is used to directly or indirectly connect to the power input end of the working equipment.

[0011] Its further features are:

[0012] The power take-off conversion device is a power take-off oil pump, which includes a pump body, an oil pump suction port, and an oil pump outlet.

[0013] The hydraulic power actuator is a hydraulic motor, which includes a motor oil inlet, a motor oil outlet, and a power output shaft;

[0014] The hydraulic motor is an axial piston hydraulic motor with a total output efficiency of 0.8-0.9, which can efficiently convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, improving the working efficiency of the entire power take-off system. The axial piston hydraulic motor has the characteristics of high speed, strong pressure bearing capacity, large output torque and long service life, and is suitable for various working scenarios with high efficiency and performance requirements, ensuring the stable and reliable operation of the power take-off system.

[0015] The protruding power take-off shaft of the electric drive bridge assembly is connected to the input end of the power take-off oil pump, the oil pump outlet is connected to the motor inlet through a transmission pipeline, and the power output shaft is used to directly or indirectly connect to the power input device of the working equipment.

[0016] The power take-off shaft of the drive motor is connected to the input shaft of the power take-off oil pump through a clutch device, which ensures that when the working equipment does not require power input, the power input of the power take-off oil pump can be directly turned off through the clutch device;

[0017] Preferably, the clutch device is an electromagnetic clutch, which ensures reliable and stable clutch engagement;

[0018] The transmission pipeline is reasonably set according to the distance between the oil pump outlet and the motor inlet and the pipe arrangement position of the vehicle body.

[0019] When the power input device of the working equipment is a pulley, the power output shaft is externally connected to a power output pulley. At this time, the input shaft of the working equipment is fitted with an input pulley. The power output pulley is connected to the input pulley via a belt. The working equipment is reasonably arranged according to the space of the vehicle body and its own volume. It reliably transmits power through the belt. Due to the combined use of the transmission pipeline and the belt, the working equipment, regardless of its size, can be reasonably arranged in the corresponding position in the space of the vehicle body.

[0020] By adopting this utility model, the installation position of the power take-off device is transferred from the position of the electric drive axle power take-off shaft to the external hydraulic power actuator, which effectively solves the problem that the space around the electric drive axle power take-off device is limited and cannot accommodate a large power take-off device; moreover, it does not require the addition of a power take-off motor, reducing equipment purchase costs, as well as energy consumption costs and maintenance costs.
