This design philosophy helps improve energy efficiency, reduce failure points, and provide stronger and more durable power support for new energy trucks, meeting the multiple demands of the modern transportation industry for environmental protection, economy, and ease of operation. Therefore, developing reducer transmission mechanisms that meet the above characteristics and possess high reliability has become one of the important directions in current new energy truck technology research and development. Utility Model Content
[0003] Technical problem to be solved by the utility model
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a rotor pump drive mechanism with a simple and compact structure, and a compact and reliable rotor pump drive power transmission mechanism.
[0005] Technical solution
[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A rotary pump drive mechanism includes a gear shaft with an internal oil passage. The end of the internal oil passage has a radially interference-fitted drive plug. The other side of the drive plug has a plug groove and is connected to a cycloidal rotor drive shaft. One end of the cycloidal rotor drive shaft has a drive shaft protrusion that mates with the plug groove, and the other end has a drive shaft groove. A cycloidal inner rotor and an oil pump cover are located around the cycloidal rotor drive shaft, and the cycloidal rotor drive shaft and the cycloidal inner rotor have a radial interference fit.
[0008] As the core component of the entire transmission system, the gear shaft not only transmits power but also contains an internal oil passage. This internal oil passage facilitates the flow of lubricating oil or coolant, ensuring lubrication and cooling of the entire transmission system, reducing friction and wear, and extending service life. The drive plug is located at one end of the internal oil passage on the gear shaft and is connected with it using a radial interference fit. This method ensures the sealing of the oil passage, preventing lubricating oil or coolant leakage, and also increases the stability of the overall structure. The other side of the drive plug has a plug groove that mates with the drive shaft protrusion at one end of the cycloidal rotor drive shaft. This design helps to accurately position and fix the cycloidal rotor drive shaft, ensuring its stable and reliable operation, while simplifying the assembly process. The cycloidal rotor drive shaft is one of the parts in the entire device responsible for directly transmitting power. One end is connected to the drive plug via the drive shaft protrusion, and the other end has a drive shaft groove for further connection or installation of other functional components. The radial interference fit between the cycloidal rotor drive shaft and the inner cycloidal rotor ensures a tight mechanical connection and improves power transmission efficiency. The cycloidal inner rotor surrounds the cycloidal rotor drive shaft, and the radial interference fit between them ensures efficient power transmission. The oil pump gland serves to protect and seal the internal components, ensuring their proper functioning and helping to maintain the pressure balance of the entire system.
[0009] Alternatively, the blocking groove can be a slotted groove, and the drive shaft protrusion can be a protrusion.
[0010] The slotted design simplifies the connection between the cycloidal rotor drive shaft and the drive plug, making the assembly process more direct and efficient. The slot provides a simple and effective method for positioning and securing the cycloidal rotor drive shaft, ensuring accurate installation and reducing assembly errors. A corresponding slotted protrusion is located at one end of the cycloidal rotor drive shaft to mate with the slot on the drive plug. This design ensures a tight and secure connection between the two, improving assembly efficiency and enhancing the overall strength and reliability of the structure.
[0011] Alternatively, the drive shaft groove can be a slotted groove and parallel to the blocking groove.
[0012] Assembly consistency: The parallel arrangement of the two slots helps ensure that all components are installed in the intended design direction during assembly, reducing the possibility of incorrect installation.
[0013] Force distribution: When subjected to external forces, a parallel design can help distribute these forces more evenly, thereby reducing local stress concentration and increasing the overall strength and durability of the structure.
[0014] Ease of manufacturing: From a manufacturing perspective, parallel groove designs are generally easier to process because they follow the same reference line, which can reduce manufacturing costs and improve production efficiency.
[0015] Optionally, a cycloidal outer rotor is provided on the outer periphery of the inner rotor and is engaged by teeth.
[0016] The cycloidal inner rotor is one of the core components located within the mechanism, driven by an eccentrically mounted drive shaft. Its external profile consists of a series of curves of specific shapes, typically designed based on cycloidal geometry, effectively converting input rotational motion into output power. The cycloidal outer rotor surrounds the inner rotor, and the two mesh with each other through a special tooth profile. The internal tooth profile of the outer rotor matches the external tooth profile of the inner rotor, ensuring tight meshing and efficient power transmission.
[0017] Optionally, the inner rotor of the cycloid is eccentrically connected to the outer rotor of the cycloid.
[0018] Eccentric couplings allow designers to achieve high reduction ratios or pumping efficiencies within limited space, making them ideal for applications requiring compact designs, such as powertrain systems in modern vehicles like new energy trucks.
[0019] Optionally, the head of the drive shaft protrusion and the bottom of the blocking groove are both provided with rounded corners.
[0020] Rounded corners effectively disperse localized stress, preventing material fatigue or fracture caused by stress concentration. Especially under high load conditions, rounded corners reduce stress at sharp edges, increasing component durability. The rounded corner design makes it easier for drive shaft protrusions to insert into the plug slot, reducing frictional resistance and potential damage risks during assembly, thus improving assembly efficiency and safety. Rounded corner treatment reduces wear from direct contact, especially when there is relative movement between components; the smooth transition area helps reduce the coefficient of friction, thereby extending service life.
[0021] Optionally, the cycloidal rotor drive shaft is provided with a housing.
[0022] The housing provides essential physical protection for the cycloidal rotor drive shaft and its related components (such as the inner and outer cycloidal rotors), preventing dust, moisture, and other contaminants from entering the system and thus avoiding unnecessary wear and malfunctions. In addition to environmental factors, the housing also provides mechanical protection against external impacts or collisions that could damage internal precision components, ensuring long-term stable operation.
[0023] Optionally, the housing has a cavity on the outer periphery of the rotor within the cycloid.
[0024] The cavity serves as a storage space for lubricating oil, ensuring that the contact surfaces between the inner and outer rotors of the cycloidal system are always adequately lubricated. This helps reduce friction, decrease wear, and improve the efficiency and lifespan of the entire transmission system. The cavity can also be used to temporarily store or guide the flow of lubricating oil, ensuring effective lubrication of all critical components. By incorporating the cavity, the contact area between the lubricating oil and the inner wall of the housing is increased, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency and helping to quickly dissipate internally generated heat, maintaining a suitable operating temperature.
[0025] Beneficial effects
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0027] The technical solution provided by this utility model improves the stability and reliability of the overall structure by using precision mechanical connection methods such as radial interference fit; secondly, the design of built-in oil passages effectively solves the lubrication and cooling problems and reduces maintenance requirements; finally, the compact design makes the transmission mechanism very suitable for applications with limited space, such as modern transportation tools like new energy trucks.
