[0016] Optionally, the stator core includes a connecting cylinder, multiple winding sections and multiple winding mounting sections. The connecting cylinder surrounds the outside of the rotor shaft and the magnetic component.

[0022] A second limiting groove is formed on the surface of the central shaft or the planetary carrier facing the rotor shaft, and the first limiting ball is partially accommodated in the second limiting groove.

[0023] As a second aspect of this utility model, a side door drive assembly is provided, including an actuator and the aforementioned rotary drive device. The rotary drive device is fixedly connected to one of the side door and the passenger compartment of a vehicle. The actuator is connected to the other of the side door and the passenger compartment. The actuator is connected to the output shaft of the reducer in the rotary drive device and is capable of converting the rotational motion of the reducer output shaft into a sliding motion of the side door relative to the passenger compartment.

[0024] As a third aspect of this utility model, a car body is provided, including a passenger compartment and at least one side door, the side door being disposed on the side of the passenger compartment and movably connected to the passenger compartment, the car body further including the aforementioned side door drive assembly, the side door drive assembly being connected between the side door and the passenger compartment.

[0025] In the rotary drive device, side door drive assembly and automobile body provided by this utility model, the motor assembly and the reducer are both housed in the housing. The rotor shaft of the motor assembly is directly connected to the reducer, which eliminates the axial length required for stacking the housings of the motor assembly and the reducer along the axial direction, thereby reducing the overall size of the rotary drive device and facilitating the compact design of the vehicle side door.

[0026] Furthermore, due to the differences in speed and transmission structure between the motor assembly and the reducer, the reducer needs to be lubricated with a specific grade of grease. If the grease in the reducer enters the motor assembly, it will cause abnormal changes in the damping of the motor assembly, affecting the motor speed and transmission effect. In addition, the thickness of the back mold in the reducer will also change, which will aggravate the wear between the gears in the reducer and cause problems such as jamming and shutdown.

[0027] In this invention, the stator end cover is positioned between the stator core of the motor assembly and the reducer, thereby dividing the internal space of the housing into two chambers that respectively accommodate the motor assembly and the reducer. The two chambers are connected only through a shaft clearance hole reserved for the rotor shaft. During the operation of the rotary drive device, the components in the reducer rotate, and the centrifugal force keeps the lubricating grease around the corresponding chamber of the reducer, thus preventing the lubricating grease from flowing into the motor assembly through the shaft clearance hole of the stator end cover. Furthermore, the outer edge of the stator end cover is connected to the inner wall of the housing, which can also effectively block the lubricating grease from flowing into the motor assembly. This effectively prevents the lubricating grease in the reducer from entering the motor assembly, thereby ensuring the transmission efficiency of the rotary drive device, delaying the wear and deterioration of the gear components in the reducer, ensuring the service life of each component in the reducer, and improving the overall stability of the rotary drive device.

[0028] In addition, the motor assembly adopts a brushless motor design, with its windings fixedly installed in the housing, and the magnetic structure, which is a permanent magnet, is fixed on the rotor shaft and rotates with the rotor shaft. The resistance generated by the brushless motor when reversing is less than that of the brushed motor. Therefore, the rotary drive device provided by this utility model can be directly connected to the actuator of the vehicle side door, eliminating intermediate structures such as clutches and further improving the compactness of the vehicle side door structure.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described are intended to explain this utility model and should not be construed as limiting it.

[0039] The terms "an embodiment," "example," or "trademark" used in this specification refer to a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment itself that may be included in at least one embodiment disclosed in this utility model. The phrase "in an embodiment" appearing in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0040] In related technologies, to shorten the overall size of the motor, the stator, rotor, and reducer are often housed in the same casing to save the extra space occupied by the axial stacking of the motor and reducer casings. However, this design carries the risk of lubricating grease from the reducer entering the motor, which can easily lead to increased damping of the motor components, reduced lubricating grease in the reducer, and changes in film thickness. This affects the motor's transmission efficiency and the lifespan of components in the reducer, ultimately resulting in poor overall motor stability.

[0041] To address the aforementioned technical problems, as one aspect of this utility model, a rotary drive device is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the rotary drive device includes a housing 100, a motor assembly 200, and a reducer 300. Both the motor assembly 200 and the reducer 300 are disposed in the housing 100. The motor assembly 200 includes a rotor shaft 210, a magnetic element 220, a stator core 230, a stator end cover 260, and multiple stator windings 240. The magnetic element 220 is sleeved on the rotor shaft 210 and has multiple magnetic poles distributed circumferentially. The stator core 230 surrounds the magnetic element 220 and is fixedly disposed in the housing 100. The multiple stator windings 240 are distributed circumferentially and are all wound on the stator core 230. The stator end cover 260 is fixedly disposed between the stator core 230 and the reducer 300, and the outer edge of the stator end cover 260 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 100. A shaft clearance hole is formed in the stator end cover 260. One end of the rotor shaft 210 passes through the shaft clearance hole and is connected to the reducer 300.

[0042] In the rotary drive device provided by this utility model, the motor assembly 200 and the reducer 300 are both disposed in the housing 100. The rotor shaft 210 of the motor assembly 200 is directly connected to the reducer 300, which eliminates the axial length required for the housings 100 of the motor assembly 200 and the reducer 300 to be stacked axially, thereby reducing the overall size of the rotary drive device and facilitating the compact design of the vehicle side door.

[0043] Furthermore, due to the differences in speed and transmission structure between the motor assembly 200 and the reducer 300, the reducer 300 needs to be lubricated with a specific grade of lubricating grease. If the lubricating grease in the reducer 300 enters the motor assembly, it will cause abnormal changes in the damping of the motor assembly, affecting the motor speed and transmission effect. In addition, the oil film thickness in the reducer 300 will also change, aggravating the wear between the gears in the reducer and causing problems such as jamming and shutdown.

[0044] In this invention, the stator end cover 260 is positioned between the stator core 230 of the motor assembly 200 and the reducer 300, thereby dividing the internal space of the housing 100 into two chambers that respectively accommodate the motor assembly 200 and the reducer 300. The two chambers are connected only through a shaft clearance hole reserved for the rotor shaft 210. During the operation of the rotary drive device, the components in the reducer 300 rotate, and the centrifugal force keeps the lubricating grease around the corresponding chamber of the reducer 300, thereby preventing the reducer 300 from overheating. The lubricating grease from the 00 flows into the motor assembly 200 through the shaft clearance hole of the stator end cover 260. The outer edge of the stator end cover 260 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 100, which can also effectively block the flow of lubricating grease from the surrounding area into the motor assembly 200. This effectively prevents the lubricating grease in the reducer 300 from entering the motor assembly 200, thereby ensuring the transmission efficiency of the rotary drive device, delaying the wear and deterioration of the gear components in the reducer 300, ensuring the service life of each component in the reducer 300, and improving the overall stability of the rotary drive device.

[0045] In addition, the motor assembly 200 adopts a brushless motor design, with its windings fixedly installed in the housing 100, and the magnetic structure, which is a permanent magnet, is fixed on the rotor shaft 210 and rotates together with the rotor shaft 210. The resistance generated by the brushless motor when reversing is less than that of the brushed motor. Therefore, the rotary drive device provided by this utility model can be directly connected to the actuator of the vehicle side door, eliminating intermediate structures such as clutches and further improving the compactness of the vehicle side door structure.

[0046] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the motor assembly 200 also includes a top bearing 271 and a bottom bearing 272. The inner ring structure of the top bearing 271 and the inner ring structure of the bottom bearing 272 are both sleeved on the rotor shaft 210. The top bearing 271 and the bottom bearing 272 are located on both sides of the magnetic component 220 along the axial direction of the rotor shaft 210. The outer ring structure of the top bearing 271 is fixedly connected to the stator end cover 260, and the outer ring structure of the bottom bearing 272 is fixedly connected to the housing 100.

[0047] In this embodiment of the utility model, the motor assembly 200 further includes a top bearing 271 and a bottom bearing 272. The top bearing 271 and the bottom bearing 272 are respectively connected to the stator end cover 260 at the top of the magnetic component 220 and the bottom wall of the housing 100 at the bottom of the magnetic component 220. This extends the distance between the two bearings as much as possible without increasing the overall axial length of the rotary drive device, improves the accuracy of limiting the position of the rotor shaft 210 by the top bearing 271 and the bottom bearing 272, and thus improves the operating stability and control accuracy of the rotary drive device.

[0048] Optionally, the top bearing 271 is a deep groove ball bearing.

[0049] Optionally, the bottom bearing 272 is a deep groove ball bearing.

[0052] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the housing 100 includes a housing base 110 and a top cover 120. The motor assembly 200 and the reducer 300 are both disposed in the housing base 110. The top of the housing base 110 has a housing top opening. The top cover 120 is fixedly connected to the housing base 110 and closes the housing top opening. An output through hole is formed on the top cover 120. The output shaft of the reducer 300 passes through the output through hole to the outside of the housing 100.

[0053] The inner wall of the housing 110 has a positioning step surface a facing the top of the housing. The outer edge of the stator end cover 260 contacts the inner wall of the housing 110, and the bottom surface of the stator end cover 260 abuts against the positioning step surface a.

The plurality of mounting fasteners 520 pass through the plurality of end cover mounting holes one by one and are fixedly connected to the housing 110.

[0054] In this embodiment of the utility model, the inner sidewall of the housing 110 has an upward positioning step surface a. The stator end cover 260 is installed into the housing 110 from above and is assembled and connected to the housing 110 by the installation fastener 520. Thus, the two chambers of the reducer 300 and the motor assembly 200 are separated by the cooperation between the bottom surface of the stator end cover 260 and the positioning step surface a.

[0055] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the stator core 230 includes a connecting cylinder and multiple winding portions. The connecting cylinder surrounds the outside of the rotor shaft 210 and the magnetic component 220. The multiple winding portions are distributed circumferentially and connected to the outside of the connecting cylinder. Multiple stator windings 240 are respectively wound on the multiple winding portions.

[0056] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the stator core 230 also includes a plurality of winding mounting portions 231, which are connected to the outside of the plurality of winding portions. The winding mounting portions 231 have stator mounting through holes formed therein. A plurality of mounting fasteners 520 pass through the plurality of end cover mounting holes of the stator end cover 260 and the plurality of stator mounting through holes of the stator core 230 in sequence and are fixedly connected to the housing 110.

[0057] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the stator core 230 includes a plurality of stator laminations stacked along the axial direction, and the connecting cylinder, winding part and winding mounting part 231 are all formed by stacking a plurality of stator laminations.

[0058] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the motor assembly 200 also includes a top stator support 251 and a bottom stator support 252. The top stator support 251 is disposed on the side of the stator core 230 facing the reducer 300 and covers the surface of the stator core 230 facing the reducer 300. The bottom stator support 252 is disposed on the side of the stator core 230 away from the reducer 300 and covers the surface of the stator core 230 away from the reducer 300. Multiple stator windings 240 are respectively wound on the winding portion of multiple stator laminations and on the top stator support 251 and the bottom stator support 252 on both sides.

[0059] Understandably, the top stator support 251 and the bottom stator support 252 are made of insulating material to separate the stator winding 240 from the stator core 230, in order to prevent short circuits between them.

[0060] Optionally, both the top stator bracket 251 and the bottom stator bracket 252 are made of plastic.

[0061] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the stator end cover 260 includes a cover plate 261 and a plurality of first positioning platforms 263. The plurality of first positioning platforms 263 are fixedly disposed on the side of the stator end cover 260 facing the winding mounting part 231. A plurality of end cover mounting holes penetrate the stator end cover 260 and the plurality of first positioning platforms 263. The bottom wall of the housing 110 has a plurality of second positioning platforms. The positions of the second positioning platforms correspond one-to-one with the positions of the plurality of first positioning platforms 263. The side of the second positioning platform facing the stator end cover 260 has a threaded hole. The mounting fastener 520 is a screw. The plurality of mounting fasteners 520 pass through the plurality of end cover mounting holes and the plurality of stator mounting through holes in sequence and are screwed into the threaded holes of the plurality of second positioning platforms.

[0062] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the bottom wall of the housing 100 also has an assembly through hole, which penetrates the bottom wall of the housing 100.

[0063] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the reducer 300 is a planetary gear reducer, and the rotor shaft 210 is fixedly connected to the sun gear of the reducer 300.

[0064] In this embodiment of the invention, the reducer 300 is a planetary gear reducer. The rotor shaft 210 of the motor assembly 200 is inserted into the reducer 300 and fixedly connected to the sun gear of the reducer 300. As the rotor shaft 210 and the sun gear rotate, the planetary gears 340 rotate on their own axes and revolve around the ring gear 330 under the meshing action, thereby driving the planetary carrier 320 and the output shaft of the reducer 300 to rotate, thus achieving the transmission effect of reducing speed and increasing torque. Furthermore, the planetary gear reducer and the motor assembly 200 are both cylindrical structures with the output shaft located in the center, which can effectively reduce the overall size of the rotary drive device, thereby saving wiring space in the vehicle side door transmission area.

[0065] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the rotary drive device also includes a first limiting ball 510, which is rotatably disposed between the end face of the rotor shaft 210 and the portion of the reducer 300 opposite to the end face of the rotor shaft 210, so that there is a gap between the end face of the rotor shaft 210 and the portion of the reducer 300 opposite to the end face of the rotor shaft 210. The position of the first limiting ball 510 in the rotary drive device remains unchanged.

[0066] In this embodiment of the invention, a first limiting ball 510 is provided between the end face of the rotor shaft 210 and the components of the reducer 300. Thus, even if the rotor shaft 210 and the components of the reducer 300 are made axially adjacent in order to shorten the axial dimension of the rotary drive device, the first limiting ball 510 can be used to maintain an axial gap between the rotor shaft 210 and the components of the reducer 300, thereby reducing the friction between the rotor shaft 210 and the components of the reducer 300, and thus ensuring the transmission efficiency of the rotary drive device and the internal structural stability of the rotary drive device.

[0067] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a first limiting groove is formed on the end face of the rotor shaft 210 facing the reducer 300, and a first limiting ball 510 is partially accommodated in the first limiting groove, and / or

[0072] Optionally, such as Figure 4As shown, the inner wall of the housing 110 has a plurality of positioning grooves 111. The gear ring 330 of the reducer 300 includes a gear ring body 331 and a plurality of positioning protrusions 332. The plurality of positioning protrusions 332 are distributed on the outer side of the gear ring body 331, and the plurality of positioning protrusions 332 are respectively accommodated in the plurality of positioning grooves 111.

[0073] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the reducer 300 includes at least one planetary assembly, which includes a central shaft 310, a planet carrier 320, a ring gear 330, and multiple planetary gears 340. The central shaft 310 is fixedly disposed on the side of the planet carrier 320 away from the motor assembly 200. The multiple planetary gears 340 are movably disposed on the planet carrier 320 and distributed around the axis of the central shaft 310. The ring gear 330 is sleeved on the outside of the multiple planetary gears 340 and meshes with the multiple planetary gears 340. The ring gear 330 is fixedly disposed in the housing 100. The rotor shaft 210 is fixedly connected to the sun gear closest to the rotor shaft 210 in the reducer 300. The first limiting ball 510 is disposed between the rotor shaft 210 and the planet carrier 320 closest to the rotor shaft 210 in the reducer 300.

[0074] Understandably, when the reducer 300 includes multiple planetary assemblies, the central shaft 310 of the outermost planetary assembly extends out of the housing 100 and forms the output shaft of the reducer 300. The first limiting ball 510 is disposed between the rotor shaft 210 and the planet carrier 320 closest to the rotor shaft 210. Correspondingly, the second limiting groove is formed at the bottom of the planet carrier 320 closest to the rotor shaft 210.

[0075] To ensure the coaxiality between the top cover 120 and the housing 110, and thus the coaxiality between the output shaft and the rotor shaft 210 of the reducer 300, preferably, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the top cover 120 has an annular positioning boss 121, which extends around the output through hole. The annular positioning boss 121 is accommodated inside the housing 110 and abuts against the top surface of the gear ring 330.

[0076] To improve the overall axial structural compactness of the rotary drive device, preferably, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, at least one planetary carrier 320 has a bearing clearance groove 323 on the side opposite to the motor assembly 200, and the output bearing 410 is partially accommodated in the corresponding bearing clearance groove 323.

[0077] Optionally, the output bearing 410 is a deep groove ball bearing.

[0078] To further improve the overall axial structural compactness of the rotary drive device, preferably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the planetary assembly also includes multiple gear shafts 350. Each gear shaft 350 includes an assembly section 351, a mating section 352, and a limiting section 353 that are connected sequentially along its length and whose diameters increase sequentially. The planet carrier 320 has multiple gear mounting holes 321, and the planetary gear 340 has gear limiting holes and gear mating holes that are connected sequentially along its axial direction. The gear shaft 350 passes through the gear limiting holes and gear mating holes sequentially and is fixed in the gear mounting holes 321. The assembly section 351 is accommodated in the gear mating hole, and the limiting section 353 is accommodated in the gear limiting hole.

[0079] In this embodiment of the utility model, the shaft hole of the planetary gear 340 adopts a countersunk design, and the assembly section 351 and the limiting section 353 of the gear shaft 350 are both hidden inside the planetary gear 340, thereby further shortening the overall axial dimension of the reducer 300 and improving the overall axial structural compactness of the rotary drive device.

[0080] To reduce the overall weight of the rotary drive device, preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of first weight reduction holes 322 are formed in the planetary carrier 320. The plurality of first weight reduction holes 322 are disposed between adjacent gear mounting holes 321. The first weight reduction holes 322 penetrate the planetary carrier 320 along the axial direction of the central shaft 310 and extend circumferentially around the central shaft 310, thereby reducing the weight of the planetary carrier 320 components and thus reducing the overall weight of the rotary drive device, which is beneficial to achieving lightweighting of the vehicle side door structure.

[0081] To further reduce the overall weight of the rotary drive device, preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of second weight-reducing holes 341 are formed in the planetary gear 340. The second weight-reducing holes 341 penetrate the planetary gear 340 along the axial direction of the gear shaft 350. The plurality of second weight-reducing holes 341 are distributed circumferentially around the gear shaft 350 and extend circumferentially.

[0082] In some embodiments of this invention, the central shaft 310 can be inserted into the central hole of the planetary carrier 320, in which case the central shaft 310 and the rotor shaft 210 abut against each other via the first limiting ball 510. Correspondingly, a second limiting groove can be formed on the side of the central shaft 310 facing the rotor shaft 210.

[0083] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the central shaft 310 and the planetary carrier 320 are formed into one piece by powder metallurgy.

[0084] In this embodiment of the utility model, the central shaft 310 and the planetary carrier 320 are formed into one piece by powder metallurgy. Compared with the scheme of assembling or welding the central shaft 310 and the planetary carrier 320, this can effectively improve the coaxiality between the central shaft 310 and the rotor shaft 210, and improve the stability of the internal structure of the reducer 300, thereby ensuring the stability and smoothness of the operation of the rotary drive device.

[0089] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the actuator can also be a transmission pair in the form of a pulley.

The connecting seat is fixedly disposed on the flexible traction belt and connected to the other of the side door and the carriage.

[0090] Alternatively, the flexible tension belt can be a belt, wire harness, or chain.
