Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a speed reduction mechanism mounting assembly and its single-sided motor, belonging to the field of hub motor technology. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing hub motors are dual-axle motors, meaning the motor shafts protrude from both sides of the hub motor. During assembly, both motor shafts are fixed to the rear swingarm of the electric vehicle. Dual-axle hub motors require complete removal for maintenance and tire replacement, making disassembly and assembly complex. Another type of hub motor is the single-axle motor, which is easier to disassemble and assemble than the common dual-axle hub motors. However, in current electric vehicle drive systems, single-axle motors are usually arranged separately from the reduction gear mechanism; that is, the motor output shaft is connected to a separate reduction gearbox via a coupling or transmission device before transmitting power to the wheels or the transmission system. However, this traditional structure has the following technical problems: 1. Large axial space occupation: The separate design of the motor and gearbox leads to an increase in the overall axial length, which is not conducive to the optimized layout of the electric vehicle chassis space. Especially in compact vehicles or integrated electric drive systems, the excessively long axial dimension will restrict the arrangement of other key components; 2. Reduced transmission efficiency: The split structure requires additional mechanical connections (such as couplings, gear pairs, etc.), which not only increases the possibility of assembly errors, but also introduces additional friction losses, reduces the system transmission efficiency, and affects the energy consumption performance of electric vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a speed reduction mechanism mounting assembly with reduced axial dimensions and its single-sided motor.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is:

[0007] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the planetary gear mechanism also includes a planet carrier and a sun gear shaft. The sun gear is sleeved and fixed on the sun gear shaft, which is connected to the rotor. The planet carrier is fixed to all the planetary teeth and is connected to the hub. The rotor drives the sun gear shaft and the sun gear to rotate. The gear ring is fixed with the stator support.

The stator core is wound with windings, and insulating plates are provided on both sides of the stator core.

[0012] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, it also includes a housing and a housing end cover. The housing end cover is installed on the side of the housing, and a first mounting cavity is formed between the housing end cover and the housing. The stator and the rotor are both located in the first mounting cavity.

[0013] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, it also includes a bracket end cover fixed to the side of the stator support. The bracket end cover is fixed to the housing end cover. The bracket end cover is sleeved on the planetary carrier cover through a third bearing. An oil seal is also sleeved on the planetary carrier cover. A second mounting cavity is formed between the bracket end cover and the stator support. The planetary gear mechanism is located in the second mounting cavity.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a larger reduction ratio for the planetary gears when the motor is driven at high speed, so as to realize the reduction transmission between the magnetic ring and the hub, thereby improving the power density and output torque of the single-sided motor, making the motor speed higher and the power density greater.

Figure 1-2 As shown, a speed reduction mechanism assembly includes a planetary gear mechanism 2, which includes a ring gear 21, a sun gear 22, and a plurality of planetary teeth 23. The planetary teeth 23 mesh with the outer circumferential surface of the sun gear 22, and the planetary teeth 23 mesh with the inner circumferential surface of the ring gear 21. It also includes a stator support 1, which includes an outer ring 11 and an inner ring 12 located on the inner circumferential surface of the outer ring 11. The ring gear 21 is located on the side of the inner ring 12, and the outer circumferential surface of the ring gear 21 is fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the outer ring 11.

[0018] In the above technical solution: the planetary gear mechanism 2 further includes a planet carrier 24 and a sun gear shaft 25.

[0019] In the above technical solution: the inner ring 12 of the bracket is positioned close to the edge of the inner circumference of the outer ring 11 of the bracket, ensuring sufficient space within the outer ring 11 for the installation of the gear ring 21 without increasing the axial dimension of the stator bracket 1. Utilizing the stator bracket 1 as the mounting housing for the planetary gear mechanism 2, the planetary gear mechanism 2 is integrated into the motor, ensuring transmission efficiency, reducing assembly errors, and simplifying the structure; it also improves the internal space utilization of the motor, significantly reducing the overall axial dimension and meeting the installation requirements of compact vehicles.

[0020] In the above technical solution: a planetary carrier cover 29 is also installed on the side of the planetary carrier 24, a hub connecting seat 31 is fixed on the hub 3, the shank of the screw passes through the hub connecting seat 31 and is fixed on the planetary carrier cover 29, connecting the planetary carrier 24 and the hub 3.

[0021] A single-sided motor, including a reduction mechanism assembly as described in the above technical solution, further includes a stator core 4 sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of a stator support 1. Windings are wound on the stator core 4, and insulating plates 5 are provided on both sides of the stator core 4.

After energization, the magnetic ring 6 begins to rotate, and the magnetic ring 6 drives the sun gear shaft 25 to rotate synchronously through the connecting frame 8, thereby realizing the rotor driving the sun gear shaft 25 to rotate.

[0022] The above technical solution also includes a housing 9 and a housing end cover 10.

An oil seal 15 is also sleeved on the planetary carrier cover 29. A second mounting cavity is formed between the bracket end cover 13 and the stator support 1. The planetary gear mechanism 2 is located in the second mounting cavity. The oil seal 15 prevents the oil that lubricates the planetary gear mechanism 2 in the second mounting cavity from leaking outward.

[0023] In this invention, when the motor is driven at high speed, the planetary gear 23 provides a large reduction ratio to achieve reduction transmission between the magnetic ring 6 and the hub 3, thereby improving the power density and output torque of the single-sided motor, resulting in higher motor speed and greater power density. The stator bracket 1 is used as the mounting housing for the planetary gear mechanism 2, integrating the planetary gear mechanism 2 into the motor. This ensures transmission efficiency, reduces assembly errors, and simplifies the structure. It also improves the internal space utilization of the motor, compresses the axial space of the motor, greatly reduces the overall axial dimension, and reduces the volume of the motor, meeting the installation requirements of compact vehicles. A second mounting cavity is formed between the bracket end cover 13 and the stator bracket 1.
