Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to an automotive drive mechanism and an automotive. Background Technology
[0002] The existing vehicle drive force transmission path is as follows: engine power is transmitted to the transmission, then to the drive shaft, then to the wheel bearings, and finally to the wheels. The drive shaft and wheel bearings are fixed together by axle nuts. Both the drive shaft and wheel bearing mating surfaces are machined surfaces, bearing significant normal pressure during drive force transmission. Furthermore, the drive shaft and wheel bearings are connected by internal and external splines. When the vehicle starts from a standstill, especially under heavy throttle, the driving torque is large. At this time, the internal and external spline mating surfaces undergo slight deformation, resulting in small-angle circumferential slippage between the drive shaft and wheel bearing mating surfaces. This friction between the mating surfaces produces abnormal noise, a phenomenon known as vehicle start-up noise.
[0003] According to the drive shaft assembly and wheel hub bearing connection structure disclosed in publication number CN 215096810 U, a technical solution is described in which a friction-reducing layer is set between the wheel hub bearing and the drive shaft to avoid rigid friction between the two. However, the existing friction-reducing pads have a single function, do not have a dustproof effect, and cannot protect the wheel hub bearing.
[0004] Therefore, a car drive mechanism and a car are proposed to solve the technical problem that the existing anti-friction pads have a single function, lack dust prevention effect, and cannot protect the wheel hub bearings. Utility Model Content

[0009] A steering component is sleeved around the outer ring, the steering component extends toward the inner ring, and is spaced apart from the inner ring to form an annular gap;
[0010] The friction-reducing component is sleeved around the first shaft shoulder, located between the first contact surface and the second contact surface, and simultaneously abuts against both the first and second contact surfaces.

[0013] A wear-reducing pad is disposed on the connector and located between the first contact surface and the second contact surface to reduce wear between the inner ring and the first shaft shoulder.
[0014] A dustproof component is annularly disposed at the end of the connector away from the friction-reducing plate.

[0019] An axially extending ring has one end disposed on the radially extending ring and the other end extending axially toward the steering member along the connecting member and being spaced apart from the steering member. The connecting member, the radially extending ring, and the axially extending ring form an annular space, which is larger than the annular gap.
[0020] Based on the above technical solution, preferably, the outer wall of the output part is further provided with a plurality of positioning grooves;
[0021] The wear-reducing assembly also includes several locking members, one end of each locking member being located at the end of the wear-reducing plate away from the connecting member, and the other end of each locking member extending into the positioning groove.
[0022] Based on the above technical solution, preferably, the outer wall of the output part is provided with a plurality of positioning parts at circumferential intervals;

[0029] The automobile drive mechanism and automobile provided by this utility model have the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0030] (1) Since the steering component will not rotate continuously, while the inner ring will rotate synchronously with the drive shaft, the second contact surface between the steering component and the inner ring maintains an annular gap. A friction-reducing component is provided on the drive shaft, and the dustproof part of the friction-reducing component can cover the annular gap, which can prevent foreign objects from entering the annular gap, thereby ensuring the normal rotation of the inner and outer rings and playing an effective protective role.
[0031] (2) The wear-reducing plate is surrounded on the first shaft shoulder by the connector and is held between the first contact surface and the second contact surface, so that the wear-reducing plate can reduce the wear between the inner ring and the first shaft shoulder, and play a normal role in reducing wear and lubricating the inner ring and the drive shaft; In addition, the dustproof component extends radially toward the steering component along the connector and covers the annular gap, and is spaced apart from the steering component. In this way, the wear-reducing component has both wear-reducing and dustproof effects, which can avoid the need to repeatedly install other dustproof or wear-reducing structures on the drive shaft.
[0032] (3) The locking component can extend and fit on the drive shaft, thereby ensuring that the anti-friction component is stably fixed on the drive shaft and will not rotate relative to the drive shaft. Attached Figure Description

[0046] The technical solution is explained below. Existing solutions disclose the use of a friction-reducing layer between the wheel hub bearing and the drive shaft to prevent rigid friction between them. However, existing friction-reducing sheets have limited functionality, lacking dust protection and thus failing to protect the wheel hub bearing. Therefore, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides an automobile drive mechanism, including:
[0047] The drive shaft 100 has an integrally formed output portion 110 and a first shoulder portion 120, the first shoulder portion 120 having a first contact surface 1201;
[0048] The hub bearing 200 has an inner ring 210 and an outer ring 220 that are rotatably connected to each other. The inner ring 210 is sleeved around the output part 110. The inner ring 210 has a second contact surface 201. The second contact surface 201 is separated from the first contact surface 1201. The outer ring 220 is rotatably disposed on the outer wall of the inner ring 210.
[0049] The steering component 300 is sleeved around the outer ring 220, and the steering component 300 extends toward the inner ring 210 and is spaced apart from the inner ring 210 to form an annular gap 301.
[0050] The friction reduction component 1 is sleeved around the first shaft shoulder 120, located between the first contact surface 1201 and the second contact surface 201, and simultaneously abuts against the first contact surface 1201 and the second contact surface 201. The friction reduction component 1 has a dustproof part that extends away from the friction reduction component 1 and is spaced apart from the steering member 300 to cover the annular gap 301 and prevent foreign objects from entering the annular gap 301.
[0051] Since the steering component 300 does not rotate continuously, while the inner ring 210 rotates synchronously with the drive shaft 100, the second contact surface 201 between the steering component 300 and the inner ring 210 maintains an annular gap 301. A friction-reducing component 1 is provided on the drive shaft 100, and the dustproof part of the friction-reducing component 1 can cover the annular gap 301, preventing foreign objects from entering the annular gap 301, thereby ensuring the normal rotation of the inner ring 210 and the outer ring 220 and playing an effective protective role.
[0052] To fix the friction reduction component 1 to the drive shaft 100, the friction reduction component 1 includes:
[0053] Connector 11 is disposed around the first shaft shoulder 120;
[0054] The wear-reducing plate 12 is disposed on the connector 11 and located between the first contact surface 1201 and the second contact surface 201, and is used to reduce the wear between the inner ring 210 and the first shoulder 120.
[0055] The dustproof component 13 is annularly disposed at the end of the connector 11 away from the friction reducing plate 12. The dustproof component 13 extends outward along the radial direction of the connector 11 and is spaced apart from the turning component 300. The dustproof component 13 serves as a dustproof part.
[0056] The connecting member 11 is arranged around the first shaft shoulder 120, and the wear-reducing plate 12 is held between the first contact surface 1201 and the second contact surface 201. The wear-reducing plate 12 can reduce the wear between the inner ring 210 and the first shaft shoulder 120, and play a normal role in reducing wear and lubricating the inner ring and the drive shaft. In addition, the dustproof member 13 extends radially towards the steering member 300 along the connecting member 11 and covers the annular gap 301, and is spaced apart from the steering member 300. In this way, the wear-reducing component has both wear-reducing and dustproof effects, which can avoid the need to repeatedly install other dustproof or wear-reducing structures on the drive shaft 100.
[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure that the dustproof part 13 effectively covers the annular gap 301, the drive shaft 100 also has a second shaft shoulder 130, which is located on the side of the first shaft shoulder 120 away from the hub bearing 200, and the side of the second shaft shoulder 130 facing the hub bearing 200 has a mounting surface 1301.
[0058] The dustproof component 13 and the mounting surface 1301 are separated by a gap.
[0059] When the drive shaft 100 and the hub bearing 200 slide at a small angle in the circumferential direction, the steering component 300 will also rotate synchronously since it is fixed on the hub bearing 200. The dustproof component 13 is spaced apart from the steering component 300, so the dustproof component 13 will not obstruct the rotation of the steering component 300. Moreover, the gap between the dustproof component 13 and the second axle shoulder 130 of the drive shaft 100 can also provide clearance for further offset of the steering component 300. Therefore, even if the steering component 300 abuts against the dustproof component 13, the dustproof component 13 can still offset toward one side of the second axle shoulder 130.
[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to ensure that the dustproof component 13 stably covers the annular gap 301, the dustproof component 13 includes:
[0061] A radially extending ring 131 is disposed at the end of the connector 11 away from the wear-reducing plate 12 and is spaced apart from the mounting surface 1301;
[0062] The axial extension ring 132 has one end disposed on the radial extension ring 131 and the other end extends along the axial direction of the connector 11 toward the steering member 300 and is spaced apart from the steering member 300. The connector 11, the radial extension ring 131 and the axial extension ring 132 form an annular space 101, which is larger than the annular gap 301.
[0063] Specifically, the dustproof component 13 extends radially outward on the connector 11 and then extends axially toward the steering component 300 to form an annular space 101. This annular space 101 can effectively cover the annular gap 301. Furthermore, the dustproof component 13 has a hollow design and can be offset toward the second shaft shoulder 130.
[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure that the friction reduction component 1 does not rotate relative to the drive shaft 100, the outer wall of the output part 110 is also provided with several positioning grooves.
[0065] The wear reduction assembly 1 also includes a plurality of locking members 14. One end of each locking member 14 is disposed at the end of the wear reduction plate 12 away from the connector 11, and the other end of each locking member 14 extends into the positioning groove to maintain the position of the wear reduction plate 12 relative to the output part 110.
[0066] Specifically, in Figure 3 In this assembly, there are three locking elements 14. The three locking elements 14 are circumferentially distributed at one end of the wear-reducing plate 12 and extend toward the axial center line of the drive shaft 100. The locking elements 14 can extend and fit on the drive shaft 100, thereby ensuring that the wear-reducing assembly 1 is stably fixed on the drive shaft 100 and will not rotate relative to the drive shaft 100.
[0067] In another embodiment of this utility model, in order to ensure that the wear reduction component 1 does not rotate relative to the drive shaft 100, a number of positioning parts are provided at intervals on the outer circumference of the output part 110.
[0068] The wear reduction assembly 1 also includes a plurality of locking members 14, one end of each locking member 14 being disposed at the end of the wear reduction plate 12 away from the connector 11, and the other end of each locking member 14 extending to the gap between two adjacent positioning portions, for maintaining the position of the wear reduction plate 12 relative to the output portion 110.
[0069] Unlike the previous embodiment which provided a positioning groove on the drive shaft 100, this embodiment provides a protruding positioning part on the drive shaft 100 and extends the locking member 14 into the gap between two adjacent positioning parts, thereby preventing the locking member 14 from rotating relative to the drive shaft 100; more specifically, the gap between two adjacent positioning parts is adapted to the width of the locking member 14, which can effectively lock the rotation of the locking member 14.
[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, the wear-reducing component 1 is integrally formed, and the connector 11, wear-reducing plate 12, dustproof component 13 and locking component 14 are integrally formed.
[0071] The one-piece molding of the friction reduction component 1 can eliminate the connection gaps between multiple component structures, thereby improving overall rigidity and stability.
[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure that the connector 11 is stably fixed to the first shaft shoulder 120, the connector 11 is interference-fitted with the first shaft shoulder 120.
[0073] The connector 11 is annular and is fitted around the first shaft shoulder 120, so that there is no risk of loosening between the connector 11 and the first shaft shoulder 120. After assembly, the two are tightly fitted by interference fit, which can avoid relative movement.
[0074] The working principle of this anti-friction component is as follows: the connecting member 11 is pre-fitted onto the first shaft shoulder 120, while the anti-friction plate 12 is attached to the first contact surface 1201. Furthermore, the locking member 14 is locked to the positioning groove or positioning part, ensuring that the connecting member 11 and the anti-friction plate 12 do not rotate relative to the drive shaft 100. When a hub bearing 200 and a steering component 300 are connected to the outside of the drive shaft 100, the dustproof component 13 is spaced apart from the steering component 300 and blocks the annular gap 301.
[0075] The aforementioned automotive drive mechanism also includes a magnetic encoder 400, which is disposed at one end of the outer ring 220 near the annular gap 301 and is used to detect wheel information. The magnetic encoder 400 can monitor parameters such as rotation angle, position, and speed in real time, providing key data support for the precise control of various automotive systems.
[0076] The working principle of this automotive drive mechanism is that the dustproof part 13 of the drive shaft 100 blocks the annular gap 301, preventing foreign objects from entering the annular gap 301 and avoiding foreign objects from affecting the rotation between the inner ring 210 and the outer ring 220. At the same time, it also protects the magnetic encoder 400, enabling the magnetic encoder 400 to stably monitor parameters such as rotation angle, position, and speed in real time, providing key data support for the precise control of various automotive systems.
[0077] On the other hand, this utility model also provides a car equipped with the aforementioned car drive mechanism.
[0078] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
