Description

Reduction device for electric vehicles

[0001] The present invention relates to a reduction device for an electric vehicle.

[0002] To comply with exhaust gas regulations and reduce fossil fuel use, demand for electric vehicles (fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen vehicles) is increasing in commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses for cargo transport.

[0003] Electric vehicles don't require the complex transmissions found in internal combustion engine vehicles. This is because the power of the electric motor reaches its peak immediately upon starting, sufficiently moving the heavy vehicle body without a transmission.

[0004] Because electric vehicles do not require the maximum power of the drive motor at startup or low speeds, they can use a reduction gear instead of a transmission to generate the necessary power.

[0005] A reduction gear of a conventional electric vehicle may include at least one planetary gear set that transmits power from a drive motor. The planetary gear set may include a sun gear that is connected to the drive motor and power, a plurality of planetary gears that mesh with an outer diameter of the sun gear so as to be externally connected to the sun gear and are formed along the circumference of the sun gear, a connecting portion that is connected to a central axis of the planetary gear to enable rotation of the planetary gear, and a carrier that has a central axis that rotates together with the planetary gears that are connected to the connecting portion and revolve along the circumference of the sun gear, and a ring gear in which the planetary gears mesh with an inner diameter of the plurality of planetary gears so as to be externally connected. The power of the drive motor may be transmitted to a final drive wheel via the planetary gear set.

[0006] However, conventional electric vehicles typically utilize single-stage reduction gears for practicality, but these gears have struggled to meet the performance requirements of electric vehicles. Furthermore, electric vehicles equipped with single-stage reduction gears require high-performance drive motors, which are disadvantageous due to space constraints and cost.

First, when assigning reference numerals to components in each drawing, it should be noted that identical components are assigned the same numerals as much as possible even if they are shown in different drawings. Furthermore, in describing the present invention, if a detailed description of a related known structure or function is judged to obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, although preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below, it should be understood that the technical idea of ​​the present invention is not limited thereto and can be modified and implemented in various ways by those skilled in the art.

[0031] FIG. 1 is a drawing schematically showing the configuration of a reduction device for an electric vehicle according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] As illustrated in Fig. 1, the first embodiment of the present invention may include a driving motor (1), a first planetary gear set, a second planetary gear set, a meshing portion, a third planetary gear set, a fourth planetary gear set, and a sleeve (4). For example, the meshing portion may be a fourth carrier (43).

[0033] The first planetary gear set may include a first sun gear (11) that is powered by a drive shaft (1a) of a drive motor (1), a first planetary gear (12) that is powered by the first sun gear (11), a first carrier (13) that is powered by the first planetary gear (12), and a first ring gear (14) that is powered by the first planetary gear (12).

[0034] The central axis of the first sun gear (11) can be connected to the driving shaft (1a) of the driving motor (1).

[0035] The first planetary gear (12) may be configured in plurality along the circumference of the first sun gear (11). The first planetary gear (12) may be meshed with the outer diameter of the first sun gear (11) and the inner diameter of the first ring gear (14) between the first sun gear (11) and the first ring gear (14). The central axis of the first planetary gear (12) may be connected to the first carrier (13).

[0036] The inner diameter of the first ring gear (14) can be configured to be meshed with the first meshing portion (4a) or the third meshing portion (4c) of the sleeve (4).

[0038] The central axis of the second sun gear (21) can be configured to be fixed (F).

[0039] The second planetary gear (22) may be configured in multiple numbers along the circumference of the second sun gear (21).

[0040] The second planetary gear (22) can be engaged with the outer diameter of the second sun gear (21) and the inner diameter of the second ring gear (24) between the second sun gear (21) and the second ring gear (24). The central axis of the second planetary gear (22) can be connected to the second carrier (23).

[0041] The first carrier (13) and the second ring gear (24) can be connected to power.

The third engagement portion (4c) may be formed to further protrude from the first engagement portion (4a) toward the first ring gear (14).

[0043] The sleeve (4) can be moved axially by the actuator (A).

[0044] For example, the second carrier (23) may be configured with a connecting portion (233) that is connected to the central axis (222) of the second planetary gear (22) so that the second planetary gear (22) can rotate, and a central axis (232) that is connected to the center of the third sun gear (31) while being connected to the connecting portion (233). For example, the outer diameter (231) of the second carrier (23) may be configured so as to be able to engage with the first engagement portion (4a) of the sleeve (4).

[0045] In Fig. 1, the connecting portion (233) of the second carrier (23) is illustrated as being formed radially from the central axis (232), but this is by no means limited to this, and for example, the connecting portion (233) may be formed in various shapes such as a circle.

[0047] The third planetary gear (32) may be provided in multiple numbers along the circumference of the third sun gear (31).

[0048] The third planetary gear (32) can be connected to the third carrier (33) through power by meshing with the outer diameter of the third sun gear (31).

[0049] The central axis (332) of the third carrier (33) can be connected to the intershaft (2). The intershaft (2) can pass through the driving motor (1) and be connected to the central axis (332) of the third carrier (33).

[0050] The intershaft (2) can transmit power to one driving wheel (not shown).

[0051] A third planetary gear (32) can be meshed with the inner diameter of the third ring gear (34). The third ring gear (34) can serve as a sun gear of the fourth planetary gear set.

[0052] The fourth planetary gear set may include a fourth planetary gear (42) that meshes with the outer diameter of the third ring gear (34), and a fourth ring gear (44) that is connected to the fourth planetary gear (42) through power.

[0053] The meshing part provided at a gap from the second planetary gear set is a fourth carrier (43), and the fourth carrier (43) can be configured as fixed (F). The fourth carrier (43) can be connected to the central axis of the fourth planetary gear (42).

[0054] The fourth planetary gear (42) may be provided in multiple numbers along the circumference of the third ring gear (34).

[0055] The fourth planetary gear (42) can be meshed with the outer diameter of the third ring gear (34).

[0056] The fourth planetary gear (42) can be meshed with the inner diameter of the fourth ring gear (44).

[0057] The central axis (442) of the fourth ring gear (44) can be connected to an axle shaft (not shown) for power. The axle shaft (not shown) can transmit power to the other driving wheel (not shown).

[0058] The following describes the power flow during gear shifting of the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] As shown in Fig. 1, by the operation of the first speed actuator (A), the sleeve (4) moves axially so that the second engagement portion (4b) can be simultaneously engaged with the inner diameter (431) of the fourth carrier (43) and the third engagement portion (4c) can be simultaneously engaged with the inner diameter (141) of the first ring gear (14). As a result, the first ring gear (14) can be fixed.

[0060] The power of the first gear drive motor (1) can be transmitted to the first planetary gear (12) via the first sun gear (11).

[0061] Since the power of the first carrier (13) and the second ring gear (24) is connected and the first ring gear (14) is fixed, the power transmitted to the first planetary gear (12) can be transmitted to the second carrier (23) via the first carrier (13), the second ring gear (24), and the second planetary gear (22).

[0062] Since the central axis (232) of the second carrier (23) is connected to the third sun gear (31), the power transmitted to the second carrier (23) can be transmitted to the third planetary gear (32) via the third sun gear (31).

[0063] Since the central axis (332) of the third carrier (33) is connected to the intershaft (2) and the central axis (442) of the fourth ring gear (44) is connected to the axle shaft (not shown), the power transmitted to the third planetary gear (32) can be transmitted to the intershaft (2) via the third carrier (33) and at the same time transmitted to the axle shaft (not shown) via the third ring gear (34), the fourth planetary gear (42), and the fourth ring gear (44).

[0064] Power transmitted to the intershaft (2) can be transmitted to one driving wheel (not shown).

[0065] Power transmitted to the axle shaft (not shown) can be transmitted to the other drive wheel (not shown).

[0066] As shown in Fig. 1, the sleeve (4) moves axially by the operation of the second speed actuator (A) so that the first engagement portion (4a) can be simultaneously engaged with the inner diameter portion (141) of the first ring gear (14) and the outer diameter portion (231) of the second carrier (23). As a result, the first ring gear (14) and the second carrier (23) can be driven as one unit.

[0067] The power of the second gear drive motor (1) can be transmitted to the first planetary gear (12) via the first sun gear (11).

[0068] Since the power of the first carrier (13) and the second ring gear (24) is connected and the first ring gear (14) and the second carrier (23) are driven as one, the power transmitted to the first planetary gear (12) can be transmitted to the second carrier (23) through the first carrier (13), the second ring gear (24), and the second planetary gear (22), and at the same time, can be transmitted to the second carrier (23) through the first ring gear (14).

[0069] Since the central axis (232) of the second carrier (23) is connected to the third sun gear (31), the power transmitted to the second carrier (23) can be transmitted to the third planetary gear (32) via the third sun gear (31).

[0070] Since the central axis (332) of the third carrier (33) is connected to the intershaft (2) and the central axis (442) of the fourth ring gear (44) is connected to the axle shaft (not shown), the power transmitted to the third planetary gear (32) can be transmitted to the intershaft (2) via the third carrier (33) and at the same time transmitted to the axle shaft (not shown) via the third ring gear (34), the fourth planetary gear (42), and the fourth ring gear (44).

[0071] Power transmitted to the intershaft (2) can be transmitted to one driving wheel (not shown).

[0072] Power transmitted to the axle shaft (not shown) can be transmitted to the other drive wheel (not shown).

[0073] FIG. 2 is a drawing schematically showing the configuration of a reduction device for an electric vehicle according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the second embodiment of the present invention may include a driving motor (1), a first planetary gear set, a second planetary gear set, a third planetary gear set, a sleeve (4), and a meshing portion. For example, the meshing portion may be a fixed portion (5).

[0075] The configuration of the drive motor (1), the first planetary gear set, the second planetary gear set, the third planetary gear set, and the sleeve (4) of the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment, so a detailed description of the configuration is omitted.

[0076] The third ring gear (34) of the third planetary gear set can be configured as fixed (F). The third carrier (33) of the third planetary gear set can be connected to the differential device (3) through a central shaft (332).

[0077] The differential device (3) may include a side gear (3b) on one side and a side gear (3c) on the other side that mesh with each other on both sides of the pinion gear (3a).

[0078] One side gear (3b) can be connected to the intershaft (2) for power. The intershaft (2) can be connected to the one side gear (3b) by penetrating the interior of the driving motor (1).

[0079] Power transmitted to the differential device (3) can be simultaneously transmitted to one side gear (3b) and the other side gear (3c) via the pinion gear (3a).

[0080] Power transmitted to one side gear (3b) can be transmitted to one side drive wheel (not shown) via the intershaft (2).

[0081] Power transmitted to the other side gear (3c) can be transmitted to the other side drive wheel (not shown) via the axle shaft (not shown).

As a result, the first ring gear (14) can be fixed.

[0084] The power of the first gear drive motor (1) can be transmitted to the first planetary gear (12) via the first sun gear (11).

[0085] Since the first carrier (13) and the second ring gear (24) are connected in power and the first ring gear (14) is fixed, the power transmitted to the first planetary gear (12) can be transmitted to the second carrier (23) via the first carrier (13), the second ring gear (24), and the second planetary gear (22).

[0086] Since the central axis (232) of the second carrier (23) is connected to the third sun gear (31), the power transmitted to the second carrier (23) can be transmitted to the third planetary gear (32) via the third sun gear (31).

[0087] Since the third carrier (33) is connected to the differential device (3), the power transmitted to the third planetary gear (32) can be transmitted to the differential device (3) via the third carrier (33).

[0088] Power transmitted to the differential device (3) can be simultaneously transmitted to one side gear (3b) and the other side gear via the pinion gear (3a).

[0089] Power transmitted to one side gear (3a) can be transmitted to one side drive wheel (not shown) via the intershaft (2).

[0090] Power transmitted to the other side gear (3c) can be transmitted to the other side drive wheel (not shown) via the axle shaft (not shown).

[0091] As shown in Fig. 2, the sleeve (4) moves axially by the operation of the second speed actuator (A), so that the first engagement portion (4a) can be simultaneously engaged with the inner diameter portion (141) of the first ring gear (14) and the outer diameter portion (231) of the second carrier (23). As a result, the first ring gear (14) and the second carrier (23) can be driven as one unit.

[0092] The power of the second gear drive motor (1) can be transmitted to the first planetary gear (12) via the first sun gear (11).

[0093] Since the power of the first carrier (13) and the second ring gear (24) is connected and the first ring gear (14) and the second carrier (23) are driven as one, the power transmitted to the first planetary gear (12) can be transmitted to the second carrier (23) through the first carrier (13), the second ring gear (24), and the second planetary gear (22), and at the same time, can be transmitted to the second carrier (23) through the first ring gear (14).

[0094] Since the third carrier (33) is connected to the differential device (3), the power transmitted to the second carrier (23) can be transmitted to the differential device (3).

[0095] Power transmitted to the differential device (3) can be simultaneously transmitted to one side gear (3b) and the other side gear (3c) via the pinion gear (3a).

[0096] Power transmitted to one side gear (3b) can be transmitted to one side drive wheel (not shown) via the intershaft (2).

[0097] Power transmitted to the other side gear (3c) can be transmitted to the other side drive wheel (not shown) via the axle shaft (not shown).

[0098] FIG. 3 is a drawing schematically showing the configuration of a reduction device for an electric vehicle according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0099] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the third embodiment of the present invention may include a driving motor (1), a first planetary gear set, a second planetary gear set, a sleeve (4), and a meshing portion. For example, the meshing portion may be a fixed portion (5).

[0100] The configuration of the drive motor (1), the first planetary gear set, the second planetary gear set, the sleeve (4), and the meshing portion of the third embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment, so a detailed description of the configuration is omitted.

[0101] The central axis (232) of the second carrier (23) of the second planetary gear set can be connected to an axle device (not shown). Power transmitted to the axle device (not shown) can be transmitted to both driving wheels (not shown).

[0102] The following describes the power flow during gear shifting in the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0103] As shown in Fig. 3, by the operation of the first speed actuator (A), the sleeve (4) moves axially so that the second engagement portion (4b) can be simultaneously engaged with the inner diameter portion (5a) of the fixed portion (5) and the third engagement portion (4c) can be simultaneously engaged with the inner diameter portion (141) of the first ring gear (14). As a result, the first ring gear (14) can be fixed.

[0104] The power of the first gear drive motor (1) can be transmitted to the first planetary gear (12) via the first sun gear (11).

[0105] Since the first carrier (13) and the second ring gear (24) are connected in power and the first ring gear (14) is fixed, the power transmitted to the first planetary gear (12) can be transmitted to the second carrier (23) via the first carrier (13), the second ring gear (24), and the second planetary gear (22).

[0106] The power transmitted to the second carrier (23) can be transmitted to both driving wheels (not shown) via an axle device (not shown).

[0107] As shown in Fig. 3, the sleeve (4) moves axially by the operation of the second speed actuator (A), so that the first engagement portion (4a) can be simultaneously engaged with the inner diameter portion (141) of the first ring gear (14) and the outer diameter portion (231) of the second carrier (23). As a result, the first ring gear (14) and the second carrier (23) can be driven as one unit.

[0108] The power of the second gear drive motor (1) can be transmitted to the first planetary gear (12) via the first sun gear (11).

[0109] Since the first carrier (13) and the second ring gear (24) are connected by power and the first ring gear (14) and the second carrier (23) are driven as one, the power transmitted to the first planetary gear (12) can be transmitted to the second carrier (23) through the first carrier (13), the second ring gear (24), and the second planetary gear (22), and at the same time, can be transmitted to the second carrier (23) through the first ring gear (14).

[0110] Since the central axis (232) of the second carrier (23) is connected to the axle device (not shown), the power transmitted to the second carrier (23) can be transmitted to the driving wheels on both sides (not shown) via the axle device (not shown).
