Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hub motor technology, and in particular to a high-precision planetary gear hub motor. Background Technology

[0002] Hub motors with built-in planetary gears are usually called planetary geared hub motors or composite transmission hub motors. Their core feature is that the planetary gear transmission mechanism is integrated inside the hub motor to achieve deceleration and torque output.

[0003] This planetary geared hub motor uses a built-in planetary gear reduction mechanism to convert the high speed and low torque of the motor into the low speed and high torque required by the wheel, thus allowing the motor to operate in a high-efficiency range and solving the problems of low torque density and large size and weight of direct-drive hub motors. Its main structure includes a high-speed inner rotor, a motor body, and an integrated planetary gear reducer. The planetary gear reducer includes a sun gear, planet gears, a planet carrier, and an internal gear ring. Power is transmitted to the sun gear via the motor output shaft, and after being reduced and increased in torque by the planetary gear system, it is output to the hub by the planet carrier.

[0004] Traditional planetary gear hub motors have the following disadvantages: 1. The connection strength between the planetary carrier and the output shaft is poor, especially in motor structures with a single-sided output shaft. The output shaft needs to withstand high torque and impact for a long time, making both prone to accidental breakage and causing hub eccentricity; 2. The strength of the planetary carrier and planetary gear shaft is low. The planetary carrier is prone to plastic deformation or even tearing, causing the sun gear, planetary gears, and internal gear ring to lose stable meshing, resulting in motor output failure; 3. Hub motors need to withstand complex alternating loads from the road surface. The low assembly strength between the motor shaft and the planetary carrier leads to a significant decrease in the fit accuracy between the motor shaft and the planetary carrier after prolonged use, disrupting the correct gear meshing clearance, causing increased vibration and noise, resulting in gear wear and reducing the overall service life of the machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-precision planetary gear hub motor, in which the output shaft and planetary carrier are integrated by aluminum alloy die casting process, which reduces weight while improving structural rigidity and precision.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a high-precision planetary geared hub motor, comprising a planetary stator assembly, an inner rotor assembly, and an outer rotor assembly. The planetary stator assembly includes an integral structure formed by die-casting aluminum alloy, comprising a planetary carrier and an output shaft. The planetary carrier includes a first-layer carrier and a second-layer carrier, with the first-layer carrier located outside the second-layer carrier. At least three integrally formed connecting columns are provided between the first-layer carrier and the second-layer carrier, with each connecting column spaced apart along the circumferential direction. Three planetary shafts are provided between the first-layer carrier and the second-layer carrier, each planetary shaft having a planetary gear rotatably mounted via a bearing.

A stator sleeve is formed on the axial position of the second side of the planetary carrier, and a motor stator is fixedly mounted on the outside of the stator sleeve. The inner rotor assembly includes an inner rotor... The inner rotor housing and motor shaft are equipped with multiple strong magnets along the edge of the inner rotor housing. These strong magnets are evenly distributed along the circumference and are respectively engaged with the electromagnetic drive of the motor stator. A shaft sleeve is provided at the center of the inner rotor housing, and the inner rotor housing is fixedly fitted to the motor shaft through the shaft sleeve. The motor shaft is rotatably connected to the cavity of the stator sleeve. The first end of the motor shaft is equipped with a sun gear, which is located inside each planetary gear and meshes with each planetary gear. The outer rotor assembly includes a rotor housing and a rotor rear cover that are connected by a cover. An internal gear ring is formed on the inner side wall of the rotor housing, and the internal gear ring meshes with each planetary gear. A central sleeve hole is provided at the center of the rotor housing, and the central sleeve hole is rotatably fitted to the output shaft through another bearing. A centrally located mounting groove is formed on the inner side of the rotor rear cover, and a first support bearing is embedded in the mounting groove. The second end of the motor shaft is inserted into the inner ring of the first support bearing.

[0007] In a further technical solution, the stator sleeve cavity is provided with a second support bearing and a third support bearing overlapping along its axial direction, and a separator ring is sandwiched between the second support bearing and the third support bearing. The motor shaft is respectively inserted into the inner ring of the second support bearing and the third support bearing. A compression spring is fitted on the shaft sleeve, with one end of the compression spring contacting the inner side wall of the inner rotor housing and the other end contacting the inner ring of the second support bearing, so as to elastically press against the second support bearing and the third support bearing, thereby eliminating their axial clearance.

[0008] In a further technical solution, the outer wall of the outer end of the motor shaft is formed with an annular groove, and an O-ring is fitted inside the annular groove. The O-ring is sandwiched between the inner wall of the inner ring of the first support bearing to reduce noise.

[0009] In a further technical solution, the inside of the output shaft is hollowed out to form a core groove, and a wire outlet is opened on one side of the outer section of the output shaft, which connects to the core groove; the side of the planetary carrier is formed with a recessed wire groove, the outer end of which connects to the core groove and the inner end extends to the inner side of the second layer carrier; the inner side of the second layer carrier is provided with a control panel, which is connected to the motor stator. The control panel is connected to a host computer via a wire harness, and the wire harness passes through the wire groove, the core groove, and the wire outlet, respectively. The wire outlet is sealed with waterproof adhesive.

[0010] In a further technical solution, a wire baffle is fixed to the outer side of the first layer frame by bolts. The wire baffle spans the wire groove and presses against the limiting wire harness.

[0012] In a further technical solution, an oil seal is provided between the central sleeve hole of the rotor housing and the output shaft to improve the overall waterproof and dustproof performance of the machine.

[0013] In a further technical solution, the outer surface of the first shelf is formed with a reinforcing rib structure to improve the structural strength of the shelf.

[0014] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art after adopting the above structure are: 1. The planetary carrier and output shaft in this utility model are integrally formed using an aluminum alloy die-casting process. This integrated design fundamentally eliminates the risks of loosening, stress concentration, and fatigue fracture that may occur when the planetary carrier and output shaft are connected by keys, bolts, or interference fits in traditional structures.

[0015] 2. The first and second layers of the planetary carrier, along with at least three integrally formed connecting columns, together form a high-rigidity frame structure that can effectively resist impact loads under high torque and complex road conditions, preventing plastic deformation or tearing of the planetary carrier. This ensures the long-term stability of the meshing transmission between the sun gear, planet gears, and internal gear ring, greatly improving the reliability and service life of the entire machine.

[0016] 3. By setting compression springs to elastically press against the second and third support bearings, the axial clearance of the bearings is effectively eliminated, avoiding axial movement and noise caused by the clearance.

[0017] 4. An O-ring seal is installed at the mating point between the motor shaft and the first support bearing. This seal absorbs minute vibrations and further reduces noise. This ensures the motor maintains high precision and stability even during high-speed operation and load variations, significantly reducing vibration and noise.

[0018] 5. The motor shaft and stator sleeve are supported by a second and a third support bearing. This support structure greatly enhances the rigidity of the motor rotor system, effectively resists radial forces and bending moments from the road surface, prevents shaft deformation, maintains the accuracy of gear meshing clearance over a long period of time, and avoids problems such as uneven wear and efficiency reduction caused by insufficient support rigidity.
