Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a disconnector device capable of switching between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive power. [Background technology]

[0002] In general, a disconnector device is a device that is attached to a differential assembly and can minimize unnecessary power loss by disconnecting or connecting the differential shaft depending on the driving conditions to switch between two-wheel drive (2WD) and four-wheel drive (4WD).

[0003] A conventional disconnector device includes a differential assembly, a disconnector shaft connected to a right differential side gear provided inside a differential case, a disconnector hub connected to a right wheel, and a disconnector sleeve that connects or disconnects power between the disconnector shaft and the disconnector hub. When the disconnector sleeve simultaneously engages with the dog gear portion of the disconnector shaft and the dog gear portion of the disconnector hub, power is connected between an input portion such as a motor or engine and an output portion such as wheels, thereby realizing four-wheel drive (4WD). When the disconnector sleeve moves toward the disconnector hub and the dog gear portion of the disconnector shaft is disengaged from the dog gear portion of the disconnector hub, power is disconnected between an input portion such as a motor or engine and an output portion such as wheels, thereby realizing two-wheel drive (2WD).

[0004] However, in conventional disconnector devices, the ball screw shaft, fork, and disconnector sleeve are operated in conjunction with the operation of a motor, and the disconnector shaft and disconnector hub are connected by the operation of the disconnector sleeve, resulting in a complex operating structure that increases the overall length of the vehicle and takes up a lot of space in the vehicle, which is detrimental to the vehicle's weight and installation ease. Furthermore, in the case of a two-wheel drive vehicle in which the auxiliary drive wheels are disconnected from a four-wheel drive vehicle, when the rotation of the input part is stopped, the final gear is stopped, and the disconnector shaft and disconnector hub are separated, a high differential occurs in which the differential pinion gear rotates at high speed due to the rotation of the left differential side gear when the vehicle is traveling straight at high speed, resulting in noise and vibration.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2017-0123869 (Published on November 9, 2017) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a disconnector device in which the first clutch portion of the first clutch ring is engaged with the third clutch portion of the support ring by the first operation of the sleeve, thereby realizing four-wheel drive, or the second clutch portion of the second clutch ring is engaged with the fourth clutch portion of one side gear by the second operation of the sleeve, while the first clutch portion and the third clutch portion are in an engaged state, thereby realizing differential limiting. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a disconnector device comprising: a case having a support ring and one side gear therein, the one side gear meshing with a pinion gear inside the support ring; a first clutch ring connected to a sleeve and having a first clutch portion on one side facing the support ring; and a second clutch ring inserted inside the first clutch ring and having a second clutch portion on one side facing the one side gear and the sleeve being connected to the outer diameter portion on the other side; wherein a first operation of the sleeve caused by a first operation of an actuator device connected to the sleeve pushes the first clutch ring toward the support ring, causing the first clutch portion to mesh with a third clutch portion of the support ring, thereby realizing four-wheel drive.

[0008] Furthermore, when the first clutch portion and the third clutch portion are in an engaged state, the second operation of the sleeve due to the second operation of the actuator device pushes the second clutch ring toward the one side gear, and the second clutch portion engages with the fourth clutch portion of the one side gear, thereby realizing differential limiting.

[0009] In addition, the first clutch ring may have a plurality of legs, which may extend toward the sleeve on the other side of the first clutch ring, and the ends of the legs may be exposed to the outside through through holes in the case and connected to the connecting portions of the sleeve.

[0010] In addition, during the first operation, the sleeve moves by a set first stroke and pushes the first clutch ring toward the support ring so that the first clutch portion of the first clutch ring engages with the third clutch portion of the support ring, and one side pressure surface facing the support ring may come into contact with a stepped portion provided on the other side outer diameter portion of the second clutch ring.

[0011] In addition, during the second operation, the sleeve may move by a set second stroke, with the pressing surface in contact with the stepped portion, and push the stepped portion toward the one side gear, so that the second clutch portion of the second clutch ring may be engaged with the fourth clutch portion of the one side gear.

[0012] The step portion may also include an insertion groove into which the connecting portion of the sleeve is inserted.

[0013] Also, a first elastic member may be provided between the connecting portion of the sleeve and a locking portion provided on the outer diameter portion of the second clutch ring.

[0014] In addition, the first elastic member is compressed by being pressed against the connecting portion when the sleeve moves in the engagement direction, and when the pressure on the sleeve is removed, the first elastic member expands, thereby moving the sleeve in the disengagement direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the sleeve can move in the disengagement direction by the elastic force of the first elastic member while being stopped by a stopper provided on the outer diameter portion of the second clutch ring.

[0016] The first clutch portion, the second clutch portion, the third clutch portion, and the fourth clutch portion may each be configured as a dog clutch.

[0017] The sleeve may also be connected to a fork, the fork being provided on a transfer nut of the actuator device.

[0018] The actuator device may include a housing; a motor coupled to the housing; and a ball screw shaft connected to the motor. The transfer nut may be coupled to the ball screw shaft and may move along the ball screw shaft while being guided by a guide rail mounted inside the housing. The fork may extend from the transfer nut toward the sleeve through an opening in the housing and be connected to the sleeve.

[0019] In addition, one side of the guide rail may be elastically supported by a second elastic member, and one side of the second elastic member may be inserted into the receiving hole of the housing, and the other side may be assembled to be engaged with an engaging protrusion provided on one side of the guide rail.

[0020] Also, the pinion gear may be meshed with the other side gear opposite to the one side gear.

[0021] Also, a coupling pin may be coupled to the outer diameter portion of the support ring so as to pass through the center of the pinion gear.

[0022] Also, a fixing pin may be coupled to one side of the support ring so as to pass through the coupling pin. [Effects of the Invention]

[0023] According to the present invention, the first clutch portion of the first clutch ring is engaged with the third clutch portion of the support ring by the first operation of the sleeve, thereby realizing four-wheel drive.

[0024] In addition, in the present invention, by the second operation of the sleeve, when the first clutch portion and the third clutch portion are in an engaged state, the second clutch portion of the second clutch ring is engaged with the fourth clutch portion of the one side gear, thereby realizing differential limitation.

[0025] In addition, in the case of an auxiliary drive wheel that coasts when traveling in two-wheel drive mode by disengaging the second clutch unit from the fourth clutch unit and disengaging the first clutch unit from the second clutch unit, the present invention solves the noise problem caused by a conventional high differential by allowing a support ring that supports a differential gear set including two side gears and four pinion gears to rotate together.

[0026] Furthermore, the present invention facilitates assembly and repair through modularization of the actuator device, thereby reducing the defect rate.

[0027] Furthermore, the present invention can significantly reduce the overall length, thereby significantly improving the weight and packaging mountability.

[0028] Furthermore, the present invention can eliminate conventional parts such as a disconnector shaft, and the number of parts is reduced by modularizing the actuator device, which is advantageous in terms of space, weight, and cost.

[0029] Furthermore, the present invention can simplify the assembly process by modularizing the actuator device.

[0030] Furthermore, the present invention modularizes the actuator device, making it possible to install it on any reducer as long as there is enough space to mount the first clutch ring and support ring, thereby shortening development time and providing high versatility.

[0032] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, when assigning reference numerals to components in each drawing, it should be noted that the same numerals are used to designate the same components even if they appear in different drawings. Furthermore, when describing the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of related well-known structures or functions may obscure the gist of the present invention, such a detailed description will be omitted. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described, but the technical concept of the present invention is not limited thereto and may be modified and embodied in various ways by those skilled in the art.

[0033] The present invention can be applied to electric vehicles (battery electric vehicles, EVs), as well as internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).

[0034] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a disconnector device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side cross-sectional view of a disconnector device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the present invention includes a case 110, a first clutch ring 130 for four-wheel drive, and a second clutch ring 140 for differential disengagement.

[0036] The case 110 may have a support ring 120, a pinion gear 153, a side gear 151 on one side meshing with the pinion gear 153, and a side gear 152 on the other side mounted therein.

[0037] A portion of the first clutch ring 130 may be coupled to the inside of the case 110 and a portion thereof may be exposed to the outside of the case 110 .

[0038] A power transmission member 190, such as a final gear or a reduction gear, may be coupled to the outside of the case 110. Power from a power generating device (not shown), such as an engine or a drive motor, may be transmitted to the power transmission member 190. The power transmitted to the power transmission member 190 may be transmitted to the case 110.

[0039] The first clutch ring 130 includes a first clutch portion 131. The first clutch portion 131 may be provided on one side of the first clutch ring 130 facing the support ring 120.

[0040] For example, the first clutch portion 131 may be configured as a dog clutch.

[0041] The second clutch ring 140 may be inserted inside the first clutch ring 130. The second clutch ring 140 includes a second clutch portion 142. The second clutch portion 142 may be provided on one side of the second clutch ring 140 facing the one side gear 151.

[0042] For example, the second clutch portion 142 may be configured as a dog clutch.

[0043] The first clutch portion 131 may be meshed with a third clutch portion 123 provided on one side of the support ring 120. The second clutch portion 142 may be meshed with a fourth clutch portion 151a provided on one side of one side gear 151.

[0044] For example, the third clutch component 123 and the fourth clutch component 151a may be configured as dog clutches.

[0045] The first clutch ring 130 may include a plurality of legs 132. The legs 132 may extend toward the sleeve 160 on the other side of the first clutch ring 130. Ends of the legs 132 may be exposed to the outside through the through-holes 111 of the case 110. The end portions of the legs 132 may be connected to the connecting portions 161 of the sleeve 160.

[0046] For example, four leg portions 132 may be formed at equal intervals with the center of the first clutch ring 130 as the axis.

[0047] For example, the leg portion 132 may be connected to the connecting portion 161 of the sleeve 160 by a connecting member 133 such as a bolt. For example, the leg portion 132 may be connected to the connecting portion 161 by welding.

[0048] An insertion groove 145a may be provided in the stepped portion 145 of the second clutch ring 140. The insertion groove 145a may be configured to match with the leg portions 132 of the first clutch ring 130, which may be configured in plurality.

[0049] The connecting portion 161 of the sleeve 160 can be inserted into the insertion groove 145a. When inserted into the insertion groove 145a, the connecting portion 161 can be guided by the insertion groove 145a and operate stably.

[0050] A first elastic member S1 may be provided between the connecting portion 161 of the sleeve 160 and the locking portion 143 provided on the outer diameter portion of the second clutch ring 140. For example, the first elastic member S1 may be a return spring.

[0051] The first elastic member S1 may be compressed by pressure applied by the connecting portion 161 of the sleeve 160 when the sleeve 160 moves in the engagement direction of the support ring 120. When the pressure applied by the sleeve 160 is released, the first elastic member S1 may expand and move the sleeve 160 in the disengagement direction.

[0052] The sleeve 160 can move in the disengagement direction while being stopped by a stopper 144 provided on the outer diameter portion of the other side of the second clutch ring 140 by the elastic force of the first elastic member S1.

[0053] When the sleeve 160 is engaged with the stopper 144, it is pushed in the disengagement direction by the elastic force of the first elastic member S1, thereby disengaging the second clutch portion 142 from the fourth clutch portion 151a and the first clutch portion 131 from the third clutch portion 123.

[0054] A pinion gear 153 may be mounted inside the support ring 120. The pinion gear 153 may be meshed with one side gear 151 and the other side gear 152 facing the one side gear 151.

[0055] A connecting pin 180 may be coupled to the outer diameter portion of the support ring 120 so as to pass through the center of the pinion gear 153. A fixing pin 170 may be coupled to one side of the support ring 120 so as to pass through the connecting pin 180.

[0056] FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the first clutch portion is engaged with the third clutch portion during four-wheel drive according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a first actuation of the actuator device 200 can result in a first actuation of the sleeve 160 .

[0058] During the first actuation, the sleeve 160 moves by a set first stroke ST and pushes the first clutch ring 130 toward the support ring 120, so that the first clutch portion 131 of the first clutch ring 130 is engaged with the third clutch portion 123 of the support ring 120. This allows four-wheel drive to be achieved.

[0059] At the same time, the pressure surface 162 of the sleeve 160 facing the support ring 120 can come into contact with a stepped portion 145 provided on the outer diameter portion on the other side of the second clutch ring 140 .

[0060] FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which the first clutch portion is engaged with the third clutch portion and the second clutch portion is engaged with the fourth clutch portion during differential disengagement according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 4, a second actuation of the actuator device 200 can be achieved by a second actuation of the sleeve 160 .

[0062] During the second actuation, the sleeve 160 moves by a set second stroke, and the pressing surface 162 contacts the stepped portion 145, pushing the stepped portion 145 toward the one side gear 151, so that the second clutch portion 142 of the second clutch ring 140 is engaged with the fourth clutch portion 151a of the one side gear 151. This allows a limited slip differential to be achieved.

[0063] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an actuator device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] 2 and 6, the sleeve 160 may be coupled to a fork 270. The fork 270 may be provided on the transfer nut 250 of the actuator device 200.

[0065] The actuator device 200 may include a housing 210, a motor 220, and a ball screw shaft 230. The motor 220 may be coupled to the housing 210. The ball screw shaft 230 is coupled to the motor 220 and may be rotated by being driven by the motor 220.

[0066] The ball screw shaft 230 may be rotatably supported by a support member 240 such as a bearing inside the housing 210 .

[0067] The transport nut 250 may be provided inside the housing 210. The transport nut 250 is coupled to the ball screw shaft 230 and is guided by a guide rail 260 mounted inside the housing 210, so that the transport nut 250 can move along the ball screw shaft 230 when the ball screw shaft 230 rotates.

[0068] A second elastic member S2 may be coupled to one side of the guide rail 260. For example, the second elastic member S2 may be a return spring. The second elastic member S2 may elastically support the guide rail 260.

[0069] One side of the second elastic member S2 can be inserted into the receiving hole 212 of the housing 210.

[0070] The other side of the second elastic member S2 may be assembled to be locked to a locking protrusion 261 provided on one side of the guide rail 260.

[0071] The fork 270 may extend from the transfer nut 250 toward the sleeve 160 through the opening 211 of the housing 210. The fork 270 may be coupled to the sleeve 160.

[0072] The operation of the present invention in four-wheel drive mode will now be described.

[0073] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, motor 220 of actuator device 200 drives ball screw shaft 230 to rotate, thereby moving transport nut 250 .

[0074] As the transport nut 250 moves, a fork 270 formed integrally with the transport nut 250 can move the sleeve 160 .

[0075] The first actuation of the actuator device 200 allows the sleeve 160 to move by the first stroke ST while performing the first actuation.

[0076] As the sleeve 160 moves by the first stroke ST while performing the first actuation, the first clutch ring 130 is pushed by the sleeve 160 and can move in the direction of the support ring 120 .

[0077] As the first clutch ring 130 moves toward the support ring 120, the first clutch portion 131 of the first clutch ring 130 can be engaged with the third clutch portion 123 of the support ring 120. This allows four-wheel drive (4WD) to be achieved.

[0078] At this time, the pressing surface 162 of the sleeve 160 facing the support ring 120 may come into contact with the stepped portion 145 of the second clutch ring 140 .

[0079] In the four-wheel drive mode, power from a power generating device (not shown) such as an engine or a drive motor can be transmitted to a power transmission member 190 .

[0080] Power from the power generating device may be transmitted to the case 110 via the power transmission member 190. As the case 110 rotates, the support ring 120 may rotate. The support ring 120 is coupled to the first clutch ring 130 and may rotate together with the case 110.

[0081] As the support ring 120 rotates together with the case 110, power is transmitted to the one side gear 151 and the other side gear 152 meshed with the pinion gear 153, allowing the one side gear 151 and the other side gear 152 to rotate.

[0082] As one side gear 151 and the other side gear 152 rotate, power is transmitted to auxiliary drive wheels (not shown) on both sides connected to the one side gear 151 and the other side gear 152, causing the auxiliary drive wheels on both sides to rotate. As a result, four-wheel drive can be achieved in which power from the power transmission device is transmitted to the auxiliary drive wheels as well as the main drive wheels (not shown).

[0083] Next, the operation of the present invention when the differential is released will be described.

[0084] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the first clutch part 131 is engaged with the third clutch part 123, and the pressure surface 162 of the sleeve 160 is in contact with the stepped part 145 of the second clutch ring 140, and the second operation of the actuator device 200 causes the sleeve 160 to move by a second stroke while performing the second operation.

[0085] As the sleeve 160 moves by the second stroke while performing the second actuation, the pressure surface 162 presses the stepped portion 145 toward the one side gear 151, so that the second clutch portion 142 of the second clutch ring 140 is engaged with the fourth clutch portion 151a of the one side gear 151. This allows the differential limiting to be achieved.

[0086] For example, in the differential drive state, if one of the drive wheels of the vehicle gets stuck on a rough road such as a muddy quagmire, the left and right drive wheels will experience different rotational resistance, which will cause a relative speed difference between the side gear 151 on one side and the side gear 152 on the other side, causing the drive wheel stuck on the rough road to spin freely, making it impossible to escape from the rough road.

[0087] However, in the present invention, in a differential limited state in which the first clutch portion 131 is engaged with the third clutch portion 123 and the second clutch portion 142 is engaged with the fourth clutch portion 151a, the one side gear 151 and the other side gear 152 rotate at the same speed, so even if one driving wheel gets stuck in a rough road such as a muddy quagmire, it is possible to escape from the rough road.

[0088] Next, the operation of the present invention in two-wheel drive mode will be described.

[0089] FIG. 5 is a view showing a state in which the second clutch portion and the fourth clutch portion are disengaged and the first clutch portion and the third clutch portion are disengaged during two-wheel drive according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0090] As shown in Figures 2, 5, and 6, the first elastic member S1, which was compressed when the first clutch portion 131 and the third clutch portion 123 were engaged and when the second clutch portion 142 and the fourth clutch portion 151a were engaged, expands to its original state when the pressure applied by the sleeve 160 is removed, allowing the sleeve 160 to move in the disengagement direction.

[0091] The elastic force of the first elastic member S1 moves the sleeve 160 in the disengagement direction, thereby realizing disengagement between the second clutch component 142 and the fourth clutch component 151a and disengagement between the first clutch component 131 and the third clutch component 123. This allows two-wheel drive (2WD) to be achieved.

[0092] In another embodiment, two-wheel drive may be achieved by disengaging the actuator device 200 .

[0093] Specifically, the ball screw shaft 230 is rotated by driving the motor 220 of the actuator device 200, thereby allowing the transport nut 250 to move in the disengagement direction.

[0094] As the transport nut 250 moves in the disengagement direction, the fork 270 formed integrally with the transport nut 250 can move the sleeve 160 in the disengagement direction.

[0095] The movement of the sleeve 160 in the disengagement direction can realize disengagement between the second clutch portion 142 and the fourth clutch portion 151a and disengagement between the first clutch portion 131 and the third clutch portion 123. The first elastic member S1 assists in the movement of the sleeve 160 in the disengagement direction.

[0096] When the second clutch portion 142 and the fourth clutch portion 151a are disengaged and the first clutch portion 131 and the third clutch portion 123 are disengaged, the power of a power generating device (not shown) such as an engine or a drive motor is cut off and the power of the power generating device is not transmitted to the power transmission member 190.

[0097] The auxiliary drive wheels (not shown) on both sides coast, and the rotational force of the auxiliary drive wheels on both sides is transmitted to one side side gear 151 and the other side gear 152, allowing the one side side gear 151 and the other side gear 152 to rotate.

[0098] The one side gear 151 and the other side gear 152 rotate in a state of meshing with the pinion gear 153, and as a result, the support ring 120 can also rotate together with the one side gear 151 and the other side gear 152.

[0099] At this time, the support ring 120 can freely rotate inside the case 110 while disengaged from the first clutch ring 130. As a result, two-wheel drive can be realized in which the auxiliary drive wheels coast and only the main drive wheels run.

[0100] For example, electric vehicles operate at high rotational speeds, which inevitably generates high differential noise. However, the present invention can solve the problem of high differential noise in the conventional system by rotating the support ring 120 inside the case 110.

[0101] For example, although the operation of the actuator device 200 and the sleeve 160 has been divided into a first operation and a second operation for convenience, the first operation and the second operation of the actuator device 200 and the sleeve 160 may be performed in a single operation without interruption.

[0102] The above description merely exemplifies the technical concept of the present invention, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications, changes, and substitutions may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments and accompanying drawings disclosed in the present invention are intended to illustrate, not limit, the technical concept of the present invention, and the scope of the technical concept of the present invention is not limited by such embodiments and accompanying drawings. The scope of protection of the present invention should be interpreted by the claims, and all technical concepts within the scope equivalent thereto should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.
