[0015] ​The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "inner", "outer", "upper", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is a compact electric drive assembly with a suspended fixed structure, which includes a motor 1. The motor 1 includes a housing 11, a drive shaft 12 and a rotary transformer 2. The drive shaft 12 is located at one end of the front end of the housing 11 to output torque, and the rotary transformer 2 is located at the rear end of the housing 11 and is coaxial with the drive shaft 12.

[0018] Specifically, as is known from common knowledge, the electric drive assembly includes a motor 1, a reducer, and a controller. The motor 1 includes a stator, a rotor, a housing 11, a cooling system, and integrated sensors. The drive shaft 12 is the rotor, which can output torque, and one end of the output torque is connected to the reducer. The end of the housing 11 closest to the reducer is the front end, and the end furthest from the reducer is the rear end. The rotary transformer 2 is mounted on the side of the drive shaft 12 located at the rear end of the housing 11. The two are coaxial, which allows the rotary transformer 2 to monitor the rotation status of the drive shaft 12 in real time and also simplifies the installation structure by keeping it away from the reducer. At the same time, the rear end of the housing 11 forms a cavity for placing the rotary transformer 2, and a cover plate connected by bolts seals the cavity to form a sealed space for placing the rotary transformer 2, maintaining the airtightness and cleanliness of its working environment, improving its service life, and facilitating its replacement and maintenance.

[0019] Furthermore, the suspension fixing structure includes a suspension threaded bracket 3 disposed at the rear end of the housing 11 and a suspension fixing bracket 4 connected to the vehicle body at one end. The other end of the suspension threaded bracket 3 is connected to the suspension fixing bracket 4. The suspension threaded bracket 3 can increase the projected area formed by the suspension fixing bracket 4 along the axial direction at the rear end of the housing 11.

[0020] Specifically, one end of the suspension threaded support 3 is fixedly connected with the rear end of the shell 11 through a bolt, and the other end is fixedly connected with the suspension fixed support 4 through a bolt, so that the suspension fixed support 4 is fixed relative to the motor 1, and the other end of the suspension fixed support 4 is fixedly connected with the automobile body through a bolt, so that the motor 1 is fixedly connected with the automobile body through the suspension threaded support 3 and the suspension fixed support 4.

[0021] The connection position of the suspension threaded support 3 and the suspension fixed support 4 is located directly above the rear end face of the shell 11, and the suspension fixed support 4 can form a projection on the rear end face of the shell 11 along the axial direction of the drive shaft 12. When the connection position moves, the projection area also moves. Secondly, the width direction of the automobile body is defined as the transverse direction, and the direction perpendicular to the transverse direction is the longitudinal direction. Since the transverse distance between the suspension fixed support 4 and the suspension threaded support 3 is fixed, when the connection position moves in the longitudinal direction, the longitudinal length of the suspension fixed support 4 and the motor 1 as a whole changes. When the longitudinal length of the suspension fixed support 4 and the motor 1 as a whole decreases, the crush installation distance of the motor 1 from the front bumper beam increases, thereby improving the safety performance of the automobile in a collision.

[0022] As shown in Figure 2 The suspension threaded support 3 includes a support plate 32 connected with the rear end of the shell 11, and the surface of the support plate 32 is a triangular shape. A threaded tube 31 is arranged on the support plate 32, and the end face of the threaded tube 31 opposite to the drive shaft 12 has a gap.

[0023] Specifically, one side of the support plate 32 is fixedly connected with the rear end of the shell 11 through a bolt, and the vertex corresponding to the side is welded with the threaded tube 31. The axis of the threaded tube 31 is consistent with the axial direction of the drive shaft 12, and the projection of the threaded tube 31 in the axial direction completely falls on the end face of the rear end of the shell 11, thereby reducing the longitudinal length of the suspension threaded support 3 and the motor 1 as a whole. Secondly, the end face of the drive shaft 12 is placed in the sealed cavity formed by the cover plate, and the gap between the threaded tube 31 and the end face of the drive shaft 12 is used to place the cover plate, thereby facilitating the subsequent replacement and maintenance of the resolver 2.

[0024] Further, the suspension threaded support 3 further includes a reinforcing rib 33 protruding from the surface of the support plate 32 away from the rear end of the shell 11. One end of the reinforcing rib 33 is connected with the threaded tube 31, and the other end of the reinforcing rib 33 is connected with the connection point of the support plate 32 and the shell 11.

[0025] Specifically, the support plate 32 is fixedly connected with the rear end of the shell 11 through three threaded holes, and the suspension threaded support 3 forms three reinforcing ribs 33 to connect the threaded holes and the threaded tube 31, thereby improving the structural strength of the support plate 32, avoiding the shaking of the motor 1 during the driving of the automobile, and ensuring the positional accuracy of the motor 1 relative to the automobile body.

[0026] Further, the suspension threaded support 3 is made of steel.

[0027] Specifically, the steel can improve the structural strength of the suspension threaded support 3 and the strength of the thread, improve the strength of the suspension fixed support 4 and the threaded connection thereof, and improve the service life.

[0028] Further, one end of the suspension fixed support 4 is connected with the threaded pipe 31, and the other end of the suspension fixed support 4 is connected with the vehicle body to fix the position of the motor 1 relative to the vehicle body.

[0029] Specifically, one end of the suspension fixed support 4 is fixedly connected with the threaded pipe 31 through a bolt, so that the suspension fixed support 4 and the suspension threaded support 3 become an integral whole, and the other end of the suspension fixed support 4 is fixedly connected with the vehicle body through a bolt, so that the motor 1, the suspension threaded support 3 and the suspension fixed support 4 form an integral whole.

[0030] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the utility model, and the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0031] The technical, shape and structure parts not described in detail in the utility model are all known technologies.
