Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, and in particular to a hub motor for a sweeper. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of industrial technology, hub motor technology has gradually entered the public eye. A hub motor is a drive technology that integrates the motor directly into the wheel hub. Its biggest feature is that the drive, transmission, and braking devices are all integrated within the wheel hub, directly driving the wheel's rotation. Due to its high efficiency and compactness, hub motors can be applied to mobile devices such as smart cars, smart sweepers, and smart robots. However, traditional hub motors installed on sweepers suffer from problems such as large size and bulky structure. For example, to solve torque issues, existing sweepers typically use a motor and gearbox, with the gearbox often employing multi-stage gear reduction. The wheel hub is driven by a single stage of gear, resulting in a large size and significant space occupation. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the current state of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a small-sized hub motor for sweeping machines.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0022] like Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a hub motor for a sweeper, including a housing 1 and a hub 2. The hub 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a stator 3, a rotor 4 and a rotating shaft 5 arranged coaxially. The rotor 4 and the stator 3 are sequentially sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 5. The output end of the rotating shaft 5 is exposed outside the housing 1 and connected to a sun gear 6. The sun gear 6 is connected to at least two planetary gears 7. The planetary gears 7 mesh with the inner wall of the hub 2 for transmission.
[0023] This invention uses a rotating shaft 5 to sequentially drive the sun gear 6, planetary gear 7, and hub 2. The planetary gear 7 directly meshes with the hub 2, eliminating the need for an internal gear ring, thus making the overall structure of the hub motor compact and smaller in size.
[0024] Among them, see Figure 4 The hub 2 has a first cavity 2.1 and a second cavity 2.2. The second cavity 2.2 is arranged around the outer periphery of the first cavity 2.1. The inner wall of the first cavity 2.1 is provided with internal teeth 2.3 for meshing and driving the planetary gear 7. By providing the first cavity 2.1 and the second cavity 2.2 in the hub 2, a compact assembly with the housing 1 can be achieved, reducing the overall structural volume. By forming a ring of internal teeth 2.3 on the inner wall of the first cavity 2.1, the planetary gear 7 can mesh and drive, eliminating the transition transmission of the internal gear ring, reducing the assembly of the internal gear ring, and allowing the planetary gear 7 to be directly connected to the hub 2, thereby making the overall volume smaller and reducing the space occupied.
[0025] Among them, see Figure 2 , 3 5. The housing 1 includes a detachably connected first housing 1a and second housing 1b. The first housing 1a has a first mounting groove 1.1 with an opening facing the second housing 1b. The second housing 1b has a second mounting groove 1.2 with an opening facing the first housing 1a and a third mounting groove 1.3 with an opening facing the hub 2. The stator 3 and rotor 4 are installed in the space enclosed by the first mounting groove 1.1 and the second mounting groove 1.2. The use of detachable first housing 1a and second housing 1b makes it easier to assemble and maintain the internal parts of the housing 1. The first mounting groove 1.1 on the first housing 1a and the second mounting groove 1.2 on the second housing 1b are used to install the stator 3 and rotor 4. The third mounting groove 1.3 on the second housing 1b is used to install the planetary gear 7. This structure separates the installation space of the planetary gear 7 from that of the stator 3 and rotor 4, preventing interference, making operation safer, and assembly more convenient.
[0026] Among them, see Figure 2 , 3The third mounting groove 1.3 is provided with a mounting shaft 1.4 for the planetary gear 7 to be fitted. The planetary gear 7 is mounted on the mounting shaft 1.4 by bearings. The planetary gear 7 rotates along the axis of the mounting shaft 1.4. The rotating shaft 5 drives the sun gear 6 to rotate, and the sun gear 6 drives the planetary gear 7 to rotate, thereby causing the planetary gear 7 to drive the hub 2 to rotate. Preferably, there are three planetary gears 7, which are equally spaced and mesh with the outer circumference of the sun gear 6. This ensures both convenient installation and stable rotation of the hub 2. The inner diameter of the third mounting groove 1.3 is larger than the outer diameter of the first cavity 2.1, so that the first cavity 2.1 can be embedded in the third mounting groove 1.3. This ensures that the planetary gear 7 meshes with the internal teeth 2.3 on the inner wall of the first cavity 2.1, and also ensures that the inner wall of the third mounting groove 1.3 does not contact the outer wall of the first cavity 2.1 to generate frictional resistance, thereby achieving effective use of space and reducing the overall volume.
[0027] Among them, see Figure 2 The inner diameter of the second cavity 2.2 is larger than the outer diameter of the third mounting groove 1.3, so that the third mounting groove 1.3 can be embedded in the second cavity 2.2, realizing effective use of space and reducing the overall volume. A first bearing 8 is assembled between the inner wall of the second cavity 2.2 and the outer wall of the third mounting groove 1.3. The setting of the first bearing 8 makes the hub 2 have better load-bearing capacity, prevents the hub motor from being damaged due to excessive force, extends service life, and also makes the hub 2 have better stability and smoother rotation.
[0028] Among them, see Figure 2 , 3 The first housing 1a is connected to the rotating shaft 5 via the second bearing 9, and the second housing 1b is connected to the rotating shaft 5 via the third bearing 10. The first mounting groove 1.1 of the first housing 1a has a first mounting position 1.5 for mounting the second bearing 9, and the second mounting groove 1.2 of the second housing 1b has a second mounting position 1.6 for mounting the third bearing 10. The second mounting position 1.6 connects the second mounting groove 1.2 and the third mounting groove 1.3. The second bearing 9 and the third bearing 10 are located on both sides of the rotor 4. The arrangement of the second bearing 9 and the third bearing 10 can ensure that the rotating shaft 5 rotates stably and smoothly. The second mounting position 1.6 can be used to install the third bearing 10 on one hand, and on the other hand, the output end of the rotating shaft 5 can pass through and be exposed in the third mounting groove 1.3 to realize the assembly of the sun gear 6 and the planetary gear 7. The overall structure is compact.
[0029] In use, the stator 3 and the rotor 4 work together. The rotor 4 drives the shaft 5 to rotate, the shaft 5 drives the sun gear 6 to rotate, the sun gear 6 drives the planetary gear 7 to rotate, and the planetary gear 7 drives the hub 2 to rotate. The overall structure is compact. The planetary gear 7 directly meshes with the internal gear 2.3 inside the hub 2, eliminating the need for the installation of the internal gear ring, thus making the overall structure of the hub motor compact and smaller in size.
[0030] Unless otherwise specified, the materials, reagents, and experimental equipment involved in this embodiment of the utility model are all commercially available products in the field of motors.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
