[0035] For example, Figures 1 to 12As shown in the utility model one embodiment provides a kind of double rotor wheel hub motor, comprising: wheel hub 1, outer rotor 2, outer stator 3, inner rotor 4, inner stator 5, main shaft 6, wheel hub 1 inside hollow, and wheel hub 1 is installed on main shaft 6 by bearing;Outer stator 3 and inner stator 5 are installed in wheel hub 1, and inner stator 5 is located in the middle of outer stator 3, and outer stator 3 and inner stator 5 are fixedly connected with main shaft 6;Outer rotor 2 is connected with the circumferential inner wall of wheel hub 1, and outer rotor 2 is surrounded in the outer periphery of outer stator 3;Inner rotor 4 is installed on main shaft 6 by bearing, and one side of inner rotor 4 extends into the space between outer stator 3 and inner stator 5;Main shaft 6, wheel hub 1, inner rotor 4 are connected with each other by planetary gear set 7.

[0036] The double rotor wheel hub motor of the utility model is mainly applied to electric two-wheeled vehicle or three-wheeled vehicle, when the vehicle is normally driven, the coil of outer stator 3 is electrified by electric control, a rotating magnetic field is generated, and the attraction force between the permanent magnet on outer rotor 2 is generated, so that outer rotor 2 drives wheel hub 1 to rotate, thereby driving the vehicle wheel, at this time, although wheel hub 1 drives inner rotor 4 to rotate by planetary gear set 7, the coil of inner stator 5 is on, and the power generation is zero, so it will not affect the driving force of the vehicle. When the vehicle is decelerated or on the downhill section, the coil of outer stator 3 is not electrified, and the coil of inner stator 5 is connected at the same time, inner rotor 4 rotates at high speed under the drive of wheel hub 1, and the speed of inner rotor 4 is 2 to 3 times of that of outer rotor 2 under the action of planetary gear set 7, so that inner rotor 4 generates alternating magnetic field, thereby generating current on the coil of inner stator 5, which can charge the battery of the vehicle, and the kinetic energy is converted into electric energy by inner rotor 4 and inner stator 5, which improves the utilization rate of energy, and the endurance of the vehicle can be improved by about 10%-15%.

[0037] Preferably, as shown in the utility model, Figure 12 Wheel hub 1 includes rim 101, first side cover 102, second side cover 103, first side cover 102 and second side cover 103 are installed on both sides of rim 101 respectively, and a closed space is formed by rim 101, first side cover 102 and second side cover 103, which avoids external dust from entering wheel hub 1 and protects the smooth rotation of bearings and gears.

[0038] Specifically, as shown in the utility model, Figure 3 , Figure 5As shown, the planetary gear set 7 includes a ring gear 701, planetary gears 702, and a sun gear 703, the ring gear 701 is mounted outside the sun gear 703, the planetary gears 702 are mounted between the sun gear 703 and the ring gear 701, and the planetary gears 702 are connected to each other through a planet carrier 704, the planetary gear set 7 has the effect of amplifying the rotational speed and increasing the torque, which can improve the speed of the inner rotor 4 during power generation and increase the torque of the inner rotor 4 during acceleration.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 11 As shown, the ring gear 701 is fixedly connected with the second side cover 103, the planet carrier 704 is fixedly connected with the main shaft 6, and the sun gear 703 is provided with a connecting pipe 705, one end of the connecting pipe 705 is connected with the sun gear 703, and the other end of the connecting pipe 705 is connected with the inner rotor 4 after penetrating through the planet carrier 704. During power generation, the second side cover 103 rotates under the driving of the inertia of the vehicle, and simultaneously drives the ring gear 701 to rotate. Since the planet carrier 704 is fixedly connected with the main shaft 6, the planet carrier 704 remains stationary, so that the ring gear 701 can drive the sun gear 703 to rotate through the planetary gears 702. The rotational speed ratio of the ring gear 701 to the sun gear 703 is equal to the tooth number ratio, and the tooth number ratio of the ring gear 701 to the sun gear 703 is 2-3 times, thereby multiplying the rotational speed of the sun gear 703, so that the rotational speed of the inner rotor 4 is 2-3 times of the hub 1. Even if the vehicle is at low speed, the inner rotor 4 can also rotate at high speed, and the efficiency of power generation is improved. When the vehicle needs power, the inner rotor 4 is powered to have driving force, which drives the sun gear 703 to rotate, and the driving force is transmitted to the ring gear 701 through the planetary gears 702. In this process, the torque of the inner rotor 4 is amplified, and the hub 1 is driven to rotate together with the outer rotor 2.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, the planet carrier 704 includes a first connecting plate 7041 and a second connecting plate 7042, the first connecting plate 7041 and the second connecting plate 7042 are connected to each other, the planetary gears 702 are mounted between the first connecting plate 7041 and the second connecting plate 7042, and the first connecting plate 7041 is fixedly connected with the main shaft 6, so that the planet carrier 704 is rigidly connected with the main shaft 6. The connecting pipe 705 penetrates through the middle of the second connecting plate 7042, which facilitates the connection between the sun gear 703 and the inner rotor 4 and the linkage between the sun gear 703 and the inner rotor 4.

[0041] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8 、 Figure 9As shown, the inner rotor 4 side is provided with a boss 401, the boss 401 is provided with 2 to 4 protrusions, one end of the connecting pipe 705 is provided with a groove corresponding to the number of protrusions, when the connecting pipe 705 is connected with the boss 401, the protrusions are inserted into the grooves, which facilitates the axial assembly of the inner rotor 4 and the connecting pipe 705, reduces the processing difficulty of parts, and reduces the assembly difficulty.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 10 As shown, the second side cover 103 is provided with a cover 104, the second side cover 103 and the cover 104 surround each other to form a closed cavity, the planetary gear set 7 is installed in the closed cavity, and the closed cavity is filled with lubricating oil, so that the planetary gear set 7 is well lubricated and ensures smooth rotation of each part.

[0043] Specifically, a plurality of permanent magnets are fixed on the inner wall of the outer rotor 2 and the inner wall of the inner rotor 4, a plurality of coils are wound on the outer stator 3 and the inner stator 5, the coils can generate a magnetic field after being energized, driving the rotor to rotate, and at the same time, the coils can cut the magnetic induction lines to generate current in the alternating magnetic field. Since the winding method and the number of turns of the coils of the generator and the driving motor are different, in order to improve the efficiency, the outer stator 3 mainly adopts the coil arrangement of the motor, which can ensure that the electric energy is effectively converted into kinetic energy, and the inner stator 5 is mainly used for power generation, so the coil arrangement of the generator is mainly used, which can improve the power generation efficiency. Although the coil arrangement of the generator is used as a driving motor with low efficiency, the inner rotor 4 is only occasionally used for driving when the vehicle needs power, and does not increase the energy consumption of the vehicle.

[0044] Preferably, the main shaft 6 is hollow inside and both sides are provided with through holes, and the coils on the outer stator 3 and the inner stator 5 are connected to the outside through wires, the wires pass through the inside of the main shaft 6, which facilitates the connection of the electric control with the outer stator 3 and 5.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 4 As shown, the outer stator 3 side is provided with a connecting cover 301, the middle part of the connecting cover 301 is connected with the main shaft 6, and the side surface of the outer side of the connecting cover 301 is connected with the side surface of the outer stator 3, so that the outer stator 3 is stably connected with the main shaft 6, ensuring smooth rotation of the hub 1.

[0046] Of course, the present application also has other various embodiments, and based on the present embodiment, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
