DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present application is further illustrated below in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and the content mentioned in the embodiments is not a limitation of the present application.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 1-11, the electric hub provided by the present application comprises an active wheel shell 1, a driven wheel shell 2 connected to the active wheel shell 1, a hub shaft 7 penetrating through the active wheel shell 1 and the driven wheel shell 2, a containing space 3 surrounded by the inner walls of the active wheel shell 1 and the driven wheel shell 2, a drive assembly arranged in the containing space 3, and a heat dissipation mechanism for dissipating heat from the containing space 3. The drive assembly comprises a drive motor 6 arranged on one side of the hub shaft 7 and a transmission assembly arranged in the containing space 3. The drive motor 6 drives the active wheel shell 1 to rotate around the hub shaft 7 through the transmission assembly. The active wheel shell 1 and the driven wheel shell 2 are combined together to form a hub rotating around the hub shaft 7. The outer circumferences of the active wheel shell 1 and the driven wheel shell 2 are provided with tires 22.

[0031] In the technical solution, the hub shaft 7 penetrates through both sides of the active wheel shell 1 and the driven wheel shell 2. The drive motor 6 is arranged on one side of the hub shaft 7. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 drives the active wheel shell 1 and the driven wheel shell 2 to rotate around the hub shaft 7 through the transmission assembly, thereby realizing the function of the electric hub. Preferably, the hub shaft 7 is coaxially arranged with the active wheel shell 1 and the driven wheel shell 2. The difference between the structure of the present application and the conventional electric hub structure lies in that the hub shaft 7 can penetrate through both sides of the hub, and the hub shaft 7 is a fixed shaft connected to the outside, rather than a driving shaft. In actual application, only the two ends of the hub shaft 7 are fixedly connected to external parts. The rotation of the active wheel shell 1 and the driven wheel shell 2 driven by the drive motor 6 and the transmission assembly can drive the movement of the external parts. The design of the structure can solve the defect that the existing hub motor can only be connected to the outside on one side. On the other hand, the penetration design of the hub shaft 7 can effectively make the assembly of the hub and the external parts more stable and reliable, and also ensure the coaxiality between the hub and the hub shaft 7, thereby improving the balance and stability of the hub rotation.

[0032] Meanwhile, the electric wheel hub is also provided with a heat dissipation mechanism. Since the driving motor 6 is built in the wheel hub, the driving motor 6 will heat up when working, and the heat in the wheel hub will be too high to cause the driving motor 6 to burn out or even cause the wheel hub to catch fire. Therefore, the heat dissipation mechanism of the electric wheel hub can discharge the heat in the wheel hub, so that the temperature in the wheel hub will not be too high, thereby improving the use stability of the electric wheel hub.

[0033] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the heat dissipation structure includes exhaust holes 4 and air inlet holes 5 arranged on the driving wheel shell 1 and / or the driven wheel shell 2, which are in communication with the accommodation space 3. In actual application, when the driving motor 6 works, a large amount of heat will be accumulated in the accommodation space 3. When the driving wheel shell 1 and the driven wheel shell 2 work, the exhaust holes 4 and the air inlet holes 5 in communication with the outside allow the accommodation space 3 to continuously intake and exhaust air from the outside, thereby forming a circulating air flow to take the heat in the accommodation space 3 out of the wheel hub, so as to achieve the effect of heat dissipation in the wheel hub, avoiding the problem of motor burnout or wheel hub fire caused by excessive heat in the wheel hub.

[0034] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3-5, the exhaust holes 4 and the air inlet holes 5 are arranged on the side wall of the driven wheel shell 2, and one side of the exhaust hole 4 is provided with a wind guide block 401, one side of which is connected with the side wall of the exhaust hole 4, and the other side of which protrudes into the accommodation space 3 and is arranged obliquely. The design of the wind guide block 401, on the one hand, when the driven wheel shell 2 rotates, the wind guide block 401 forms a wind scraping plate in the accommodation space 3, which takes the hot air in the accommodation space 3 out of the wheel hub through the exhaust hole 4; on the other hand, it also increases the exhaust capacity and exhaust speed of the exhaust hole 4, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. Its structure design is simple and compact, and the heat dissipation effect is good. In actual application, when the driven wheel shell 2 rotates, the air flow outside the driven wheel shell 2 will quickly flow out of the accommodation space 3 along the wind guide block 401 of the exhaust hole 4, so that the heat in the accommodation space 3 is taken out synchronously, and the air pressure in the accommodation space 3 is lower than the external atmospheric pressure. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, air can also quickly flow into the accommodation space 3 from the air inlet hole 5, thereby forming a circulating air flow in the wheel hub.

[0035] Since the driving motor 6 itself has a mechanism for exhausting and dissipating heat, the hot air flow discharged by the driving motor 6 into the accommodation space 3 will cause the air in the accommodation space 3 to form a turbulent air flow. The design of the exhaust hole 4 and the air inlet hole 5 of the driven wheel shell 2 forms a circulating outward air flow in the accommodation space 3, so that the heat in the accommodation space 3 is continuously discharged outward, thereby efficiently dissipating heat.

[0036] As preferred, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the distance between the center of the exhaust hole 4 and the center of the wheel hub shaft 7 is greater than the distance between the center of the intake hole 5 and the center of the wheel hub shaft 7. There are multiple intake holes 5, and multiple exhaust holes 4 are arranged in a circumferential array around the center of the driven wheel shell 2. The farther the position is from the center of the wheel hub shaft 7, the faster the linear speed of the wheel hub when rotating, so that arranging the exhaust hole 4 at a position farther from the center of the wheel hub shaft 7 can make the air in the accommodation space 3 be able to be quickly exhausted, so that a pressure difference is formed between the accommodation space 3 and the atmospheric pressure, facilitating the external gas to enter the accommodation space 3 through the intake hole 5, and forming a circulating air flow in the accommodation space 3, which continuously brings low-temperature gas and takes away high-temperature gas, achieving the effect of heat dissipation.

[0037] In actual application, since the upper end and the lower end of the driving motor 6 are provided with air inlets, the upper end and the lower end of the driving motor 6 are provided with air outlets, and the air outlet is provided with an exhaust fan for heat dissipation of the driving motor 6; the hot air exhausted by the driving motor 6 can cause the formation of turbulent air flow in the accommodation space 3. Therefore, the heat dissipation structure can form a stable circulating air flow from the turbulent air flow in the accommodation space 3, and take out the heat to the outside of the wheel hub, so as to avoid the heat in the accommodation space 3 being too high.

[0038] In the technical solution, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the transmission assembly includes a gear ring 11 connected with the driving wheel shell 1, a first transmission gear 14 arranged on the output shaft of the driving motor 6, a gear shaft 13 arranged in the accommodation space 3, a second transmission gear 15 rotatably arranged on the gear shaft 13, and a third transmission gear 12 rotatably arranged on the gear shaft 13, the second transmission gear 15 is connected with the third transmission gear 12, the first transmission gear 14 is engaged with the second transmission gear 15, and the third transmission gear 12 is engaged with the gear ring 11. As preferred, the axis of the gear ring 11 is parallel to the axis of the wheel hub shaft 7, and the axis of the gear shaft 13 is parallel to the axis of the output shaft of the driving motor 6. The first transmission gear 14 and the second transmission gear 15 adopt external gear transmission, and the third transmission gear 12 and the gear ring 11 adopt bevel gear transmission. In actual application, the driving motor 6 drives the first transmission gear 14 to rotate, the rotating first transmission gear 14 drives the second transmission gear 15 to rotate, the rotating second transmission gear 15 drives the third transmission gear 12 to rotate, the rotating gear shaft 13 drives the third transmission gear 12 to rotate, and the rotating third transmission gear 12 drives the gear ring 11 to rotate, and further drives the driving wheel shell 1 to rotate. The structure is simple and compact, and stable and reliable in operation.

[0039] In the technical solution, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the electric wheel hub further comprises a dustproof mechanism for dustproofing the transmission assembly; the dustproof mechanism comprises a first dustproof cover 17 and a second dustproof cover 18 arranged in the accommodation space 3, the first dustproof cover 17 is used for covering the upper part of the output shaft of the driving motor 6, the first transmission gear 14, the second transmission gear 15, the third transmission gear 12 and the ring gear 11, and the second dustproof cover 18 is used for covering the lower part of the ring gear 11. The first dustproof cover 17 and the second dustproof cover 18 can block the external dust brought by the airflow in the accommodation space 3 and the dust discharged by the carbon brush in the driving motor 6, effectively protecting the efficient operation of the transmission assembly and improving the operation stability of the wheel hub.

[0040] As a preferred, as shown in FIG. 10, the second dustproof cover 18 is provided with an accommodation groove 181 for accommodating the ring gear 11. When the second dustproof cover 18 is installed with the driving wheel shell 1, the accommodation groove 181 can fully surround the lower part of the ring gear 11 to protect it from dust.

[0041] In the technical solution, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 6 and FIG. 9, the electric wheel hub further comprises a fixing seat 8 arranged in the accommodation space 3 and connected with the wheel hub shaft 7, and the first dustproof cover 17 and the second dustproof cover 18 are respectively arranged on the fixing seat 8; the fixing seat 8 is provided with a shaft sleeve 801 matched with the wheel hub shaft 7, the fixing seat 8 is provided with a motor mounting cavity 802 for mounting and fixing the driving motor 6, and the fixing seat 8 is provided with an axle hole 803 for mounting and fixing the gear shaft 13; the top of the motor mounting cavity 802 is provided with a ventilation hole 804. The fixing seat 8 is fixedly installed on the wheel hub shaft 7 through the shaft sleeve 801, the driving motor 6 is fixedly installed on the wheel hub shaft 7 through the motor mounting cavity 802, and the gear shaft 13 is fixedly installed on the wheel hub shaft 7 through the axle hole 803, so that the driving motor 6 and the transmission assembly can be stably fixed in the accommodation space 3. The ventilation hole 804 at the top of the motor mounting cavity 802 is used for air inlet of the upper end of the driving motor 6.

[0042] In the technical solution, the first dustproof cover 17 is connected to the top of the fixing seat 8, the first dustproof cover 17 is provided with a gear accommodating cavity 9 for accommodating the first transmission gear 14, the second transmission gear 15, the third transmission gear 12 and the gear shaft 13, and the second dustproof cover 18 is connected with the fixing seat 7 and located below the first dustproof cover 17. Specifically, the output shaft of the driving motor 6 is connected with the first transmission gear 14 in the gear accommodating cavity. The inner wall of the driving wheel shell 1 encloses the gear accommodating cavity 9 to form a gear box, so that the first dustproof cover also functions as a gear box.

[0043] In the technical solution, as shown in Fig. 3, the first dust cover 17 and the second dust cover 18 and the inner wall of the driving wheel shell 1 form a dustproof space 10, the driving motor 6 is located outside the dustproof space 10, and the output shaft of the driving motor 6, the first transmission gear 14, the second transmission gear 15, the third transmission gear 12 and the upper part of the ring gear 11 are all located in the dustproof space 10.

[0044] In the technical solution, as shown in Fig. 12, a sealing element 25 is arranged between the side edge of the first dust cover 17 and the side edge of the second dust cover 18 and the inner wall of the driving wheel shell 1.
