Due to its high efficiency and compact design, hub motors can be applied to mobile devices such as smart cars, smart sweepers, and smart robots.
[0003] Existing hub motors have very compact internal space and poor expandability due to the integration of many devices. If you want to install modules with other functions on top of the hub motor, it is difficult to find the space required for installation and wiring, such as installing lights on the hub motor itself.

The stator winding is fixed on the stator support, and the magnet ring is interference-fitted with the rotor yoke. A synchronously rotating hollow shaft is provided at the center of the rotor yoke, and the two ends of the hollow shaft pass through the stator support and the rotor yoke, respectively. The stator support is rotatably engaged with the hollow shaft through a first thin-walled bearing, and the stator support is rotatably engaged with the rotor yoke through a second thin-walled bearing.
[0006] Furthermore, a shaft groove for interference fit of the hollow shaft is provided at the center of the rotor yoke, and a channel for the hollow shaft to pass through is provided at the center of the stator support. The first thin-walled bearing is installed between the inner wall of the channel and the outer wall of the hollow shaft, and the second thin-walled bearing is installed between the inner wall of the channel and the outer wall of the shaft groove.
[0007] Furthermore, a ring protrusion is provided inside the channel between the first thin-walled bearing and the second thin-walled bearing.

[0010] Furthermore, the pre-tightening part includes a plurality of first stops arranged in a ring at equal intervals and a plurality of second stops arranged in a ring at equal intervals. The first stops and the second stops are distributed at intervals. The end face of the first stop facing the first thin-walled bearing is lower than the end face of the second stop facing the first thin-walled bearing.
[0011] Furthermore, the height difference between the end face of the first stop block facing the first thin-walled bearing and the end face of the second stop block facing the first thin-walled bearing is greater than 0 and less than 0.2 mm.

[0023] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0024] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited.

Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0026] like Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a novel light-load hub motor, including a stator support 2, a stator winding 3, a magnet ring 4, and a rotor yoke 5 arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside. The stator winding 3 is fixed on the stator support 2, and the magnet ring 4 is interference-fitted with the rotor yoke 5. A synchronously rotating hollow shaft 1 is provided at the center of the rotor yoke 5. The two ends of the hollow shaft 1 pass through the stator support 2 and the rotor yoke 5, respectively. The stator support 2 is rotatably engaged with the hollow shaft 1 through a first thin-walled bearing 6, and the stator support 2 is rotatably engaged with the rotor yoke 5 through a second thin-walled bearing 7.
[0027] This invention connects the two sides of a hub motor by setting a hollow shaft 1 that passes through the stator support 2 and the rotor yoke 5, allowing wires to pass through the hollow shaft 1 to connect electrical equipment on both sides of the hub motor, thereby enhancing the expandability of the hub motor. For example, decorative lights can be installed on the outer surface of the rotor yoke 5. Generally, a circuit board is installed on one side of the stator support 2, and the rotor yoke 5 facing outward is suitable for installing cool decorative lights. The hollow shaft 1 makes it convenient for the circuit board on one side of the stator support 2 to supply power to the decorative lights facing outward on the rotor yoke 5 through wires. In addition, the hollow shaft 1 can also be used as an installation or fixing position for other functional modules.
[0028] Preferably, the rotor yoke 5 has a groove 5.1 at its center for interference fit with the hollow shaft 1, and the stator support 2 has a channel 2.1 at its center for the hollow shaft 1 to pass through. The hollow shaft 1 connects and passes through the rotor yoke 5 and the stator support 2 through the groove 5.1 and the channel 2.1. The first thin-walled bearing 6 is installed between the inner wall of the channel 2.1 and the outer wall of the hollow shaft 1, allowing the stator support 2 and the hollow shaft 1 to rotate relatively smoothly. The second thin-walled bearing 7 is installed between the inner wall of the channel 2.1 and the outer wall of the groove 5.1, allowing the stator support 2 and the rotor yoke 5 to rotate relatively smoothly. The first thin-walled bearing 6 and the second thin-walled bearing 7 are small in size, reducing the space occupied during installation, thereby further reducing the size of the hub motor.
[0029] Preferably, a ring protrusion 2.2 is provided in the channel 2.1 between the first thin-walled bearing 6 and the second thin-walled bearing 7. The end face of the ring protrusion 2.2 facing the first thin-walled bearing 6 is in contact with the first thin-walled bearing 6, and the end face of the ring protrusion 2.2 facing the second thin-walled bearing 7 is in contact with the second thin-walled bearing 7, thereby axially positioning the first thin-walled bearing 6 and the second thin-walled bearing 7 and preventing them from moving.
[0030] Preferably, the outer wall of the shaft groove 5.1 is provided with a first stepped surface 5.2 for blocking the second thin-walled bearing 7. The first stepped surface 5.2 is provided at the other end of the second thin-walled bearing 7 corresponding to the annular protrusion 2.2, thereby cooperating with the annular protrusion 2.2 to complete the axial limiting of the second thin-walled bearing 7.
[0031] Preferably, the hollow shaft 1 has a preload portion at one end facing the stator bracket 2 for blocking the first thin-walled bearing 6. The preload portion is provided at the other end of the first thin-walled bearing 6 corresponding to the annular protrusion 2.2, thereby cooperating with the annular protrusion 2.2 to complete the axial limiting of the first thin-walled bearing 6.
[0032] Preferably, the pre-tightening portion includes a plurality of equally spaced first stop blocks 1.2 and a plurality of equally spaced second stop blocks 1.3, which are spaced apart. The end face of the first stop block 1.2 facing the first thin-walled bearing 6 is lower than the end face of the second stop block 1.3 facing the first thin-walled bearing 6. Preferably, the second stop block 1.3 abuts against the end face of the first thin-walled bearing 6. When subjected to axial pressure from the first thin-walled bearing 6, the second stop block 1.3 undergoes elastic deformation to suppress the vibration and noise of the first thin-walled bearing 6. After the deformation of the second stop block 1.3 exceeds a certain degree, The first stop 1.2 also abuts against the end face of the first thin-walled bearing 6, and together with the second stop 1.3, it bears the axial pressure of the first thin-walled bearing 6, preventing the second stop 1.3 from breaking or the first thin-walled bearing 6 from slipping. The height difference between the end faces of the first stop 1.2 and the second stop 1.3 serves as an early warning for the first thin-walled bearing 6, eliminating bearing clearance and reducing noise. Preferably, the height difference between the end face of the first stop 1.2 facing the first thin-walled bearing 6 and the end face of the second stop 1.3 facing the first thin-walled bearing 6 is greater than 0 and less than 0.2 mm, to prevent the second stop 1.3 from being excessively deformed.
[0033] Preferably, the inner wall of the shaft groove 5.1 is provided with a second stepped surface 5.3, and the outer wall of the hollow shaft 1 is recessed with an annular groove 1.1 corresponding to the second stepped surface 5.3. The second stepped surface 5.3 and the annular groove 1.1 are filled with an adhesive layer 11, thereby fixing the hollow shaft 1 and the rotor yoke 5 by the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 11. By setting the annular groove 1.1, the contact area between the adhesive layer 11 and the hollow shaft 1 is increased, thereby enhancing the firmness of the adhesive layer 11 and forming a snap-fit between the adhesive layer 11 and the hollow shaft 1, thereby strengthening the axial fixation of the hollow shaft 1 and the rotor yoke 5.
[0034] Preferably, the adhesive layer 11 is an AB adhesive layer, which has good insulation and compressive strength. AB adhesive refers to a two-component mixed curing adhesive, one component of which is the adhesive itself and the other component is a curing agent. It can be cured at room temperature. Component A is acrylic modified epoxy or epoxy resin, or contains catalysts and other additives. Component B is modified amine or other curing agents, or contains catalysts and other additives. This AB adhesive is a commercially available product.
[0035] When in use, the hub motor can be installed on the sweeper. Generally, one side of the stator bracket 2 faces inward and the rotor yoke 5 faces outward, which can provide some protection for the magnet ring 4 and the stator winding 3. A cool decorative light can be installed on the outside of the rotor yoke 5. The circuit board on one side of the stator bracket 2 supplies power to the decorative light through wires. The wires can be electrically connected to the circuit board through the hollow shaft 1, which is convenient for wiring.
[0036] 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.
[0037] 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.
