[0003] The multi-connected planetary gear of the inner transmission bears an important transmission function: when the inner transmission is shifted to different gears, the corresponding different sun gears are locked. When an external force drives the input to rotate, the planetary carrier is rotated, and the corresponding gear on the multi-connected planetary gear is rotated around the locked sun gear, thereby driving the entire multi-connected planetary gear to rotate, and the inner ring gear engaged with the multi-connected planetary gear also rotates, thereby driving the output to rotate. It should be particularly noted that the gear engaged with the inner ring gear is one of the gears on the multi-connected planetary gear, and therefore the gear on the multi-connected planetary gear needs to bear the load frequently.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0091] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present application and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present application. In the embodiments, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only used for the purpose of describing the present application, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0092] It is to be understood that when a component is referred to as being "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component, or intervening components can be present. The terms "mounting", "one end", "the other end" and the like are used herein for the purpose of explanation only.

[0093] Referring to Figs. 1 to 5, a multiple planetary gear comprises a gear body 300 which is composed of three or more gears 310 by a mold forming process, and is integrally formed in the order of the gear diameters from small to large. The gear 1 comprises a smallest gear 311 at the front, a largest gear 313 at the rear, and one or more intermediate gears 312 between the smallest gear 311 and the largest gear 313. The smallest gear 311 and the intermediate gears 312 have the same number of teeth but different tooth modules.

[0094] The multiple planetary gear of the embodiment is suitable for mold forming, and is convenient, fast and low in cost. The extrusion forming has good strength. During installation, the largest intermediate gear 312 is engaged with the inner ring gear 570 of the inner transmission. Since the largest intermediate gear 312 has large teeth, good transmission strength is provided, and the service life is long.

[0095] Specifically, during use, the shift assembly 500 is operated to drive the pawl control ring to control the opening and closing of the pawls 200 on the core shaft 100. When the pawls 200 are closed, the sun gears 520 and the multiple planetary gears are free to rotate. When the input member 540 inputs torque, the torque is first transmitted to the planet carrier 550, and then the clutch 560 is engaged to synchronize the rotation of the planet carrier 550 and the inner ring gear 570. The torque of the planet carrier 550 is transmitted to the inner ring gear 570, and then output to the wheels through the output member 580. At this time, the inner transmission does not change speed through the planetary gear mechanism.

[0096] When the pawls 200 are open, one of the sun gears 520 is locked. When the input member 540 inputs torque, the torque is first transmitted to the planet carrier 550, and then the planet carrier 550 rotates to drive the multiple planetary gears to rotate. One of the sun gears 520 is engaged with the multiple planetary gears, and the largest intermediate gear 312 is engaged with the inner ring gear 570. Since the largest intermediate gear 312 has large teeth, good transmission strength is provided, and the service life is long. Since the rotation speed of the inner ring gear 570 is higher than that of the planet carrier 550, the clutch 560 is separated, and the torque of the inner ring gear 570 is output to the wheels through the output member 580. At this time, the inner transmission changes speed through the planetary gear mechanism.

[0097] The teeth of the smallest gear 311 are aligned with the teeth of the middle gear 312. This facilitates the integrated molding process.

[0098] The third gear or more than three gears, from the smallest gear to the largest gear, have twice the number of teeth of the adjacent previous gear. This facilitates the design of the number of teeth.

[0099] The smallest gear 311 has the same shape as the middle gear 312.

[0100] The gear modulus of the smallest gear 311 and the middle gear 312 increases from large to small. This ensures that the largest middle gear 312 can obtain high strength.

[0101] The gear body 300 is a multi-connected spur gear. This facilitates the integrated molding process.

[0102] The gear 310 also includes a largest gear 313 located behind the middle gear 312, which has more teeth than the rest of the gears 310. This allows the corresponding smallest sun gear 520 to be made smaller, and because the largest middle gear 312 engages with the inner ring gear 570, the largest gear 313 can protrude outside the edge of the inner ring gear 570, making it more compact.

[0103] The teeth of the largest gear 313 are aligned with the teeth of the gear 310 in front of it at intervals. This facilitates the integrated molding process.

[0104] In addition, an inner transmission is also provided, which includes the above-mentioned multi-connected planetary gear.

[0105] In a preferred embodiment, the inner transmission also includes an inner ring gear 570 that engages with the largest middle gear 312.

[0106] In another preferred embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6-12, the inner transmission is also provided with a clutch structure, which includes an inner ring 1 and an outer ring 2 sleeved outside the inner ring 1, a clutch 560 is arranged between the inner ring 1 and the outer ring 2, the outer ring 2 can be fixed relative to the inner ring 1 or unidirectionally rotate around the rotation axis, the clutch 560 includes a retainer 4 and a return spring 5, the clutch structure also includes a support ring 3, which is arranged at one end of the inner ring 1, the support ring 3 is fixed relative to the inner ring 1, and the return spring 5 is arranged between the support ring 3 and the retainer 4 for returning the retainer 4. The retainer 4, the inner ring 1, and the support ring 3 are arranged from outside to inside in sequence, and the return spring 5 is located between the retainer and the support ring, which reduces the axial length of the inner transmission.

[0107] Preferably, the support ring 3 and the inner ring 1 are interlocked by a protrusion 30 and a recess 10 to prevent the support ring 3 from rotating around the axis and moving towards the inner ring.

[0108] In use, the bearing 590 is sleeved in the support ring 3, and the bearing 590 indirectly supports the inner ring 1 through the support ring 3. Since the support ring 3 and the inner ring 1 are mutually embedded through the protrusion 30 and the notch 10, the support ring 3 can be prevented from rotating around the axis direction and moving the inner ring 1 towards the inner ring direction. The inner ring 1 is more stable during rotation and will not deviate, and the rotation is smooth.

[0109] Specifically, in the first gear, the pawl on the mandrel 100 is retracted, and the corresponding sun gear 520 and planetary gear 530 are free to rotate. When the input member 540 inputs the torque, it first passes through the inner ring 1, and the rotation speed of the inner ring 1 is higher than that of the outer ring 2. Then the clutch 560 is engaged, so that the rotation speed of the inner ring 1 is synchronized with that of the outer ring 2. The torque of the inner ring 1 is transmitted to the outer ring 2, and then output to the wheel through the output member 580. At this time, the inner transmission does not change speed through the planetary gear mechanism.

[0110] In other gears, one of the sun gears 520 is locked. When the input member 540 inputs the torque, it first passes through the inner ring 1, and the inner ring 1 rotates to drive the planetary gear 530 to rotate. One of the sun gears 520 is engaged with the planetary gear 530, so that the rotation speed of the outer ring 2 is higher than that of the inner ring 1. At this time, the clutch 560 is separated, so that the torque of the outer ring 2 is output to the wheel through the output member 580. At this time, the inner transmission changes speed through the planetary gear mechanism.

[0111] Preferably, the notch 10 is arranged on the edge of the inner ring 1, and the protrusion 30 is arranged on the side of the support ring 3 away from the inner ring 1.

[0112] The clutch 560 includes a retainer 4 and a return spring 5. The retainer 4 is provided with a boss 41, and the inner ring 1 is provided with a clearance 11 penetrating the inner and outer sides of the inner ring 1. The boss 41 penetrates the clearance 11 to the inside of the inner ring 1. One end of the return spring 5 is fixed on the boss 41, and the other end of the return spring 5 is fixed on the support ring 3.

When the rotational speed of the inner ring 1 is higher than that of the outer ring 2, the second rollers 7 move towards the slopes 14, so that the second rollers 7 are pressed by the slopes 14 and the outer ring 2, so that the torque is transmitted from the inner ring 1 to the outer ring 2 through the second rollers 7, and the outer ring 2 rotates at the same speed as the inner ring 1.

[0121] The first rollers 6 and the second rollers 7 are in the same plane. In this way, the axial space of the inner transmission can be further saved.

[0127] Specifically, in use, the shift assembly 500 is operated to drive the pawl control ring 400 to control the opening and closing of the pawl 200 on the mandrel 100. When the pawl 200 is retracted, the sun gear 520 and the planetary gear 530 are free to rotate, the support ring 8 supports the sun gear 520, and the sun gear 520 rotates smoothly in a stable position. When the input member 540 inputs the torque, it first passes through the planet carrier 550, the rotation speed of the planet carrier 550 is higher than that of the inner ring 570, then the clutch 560 is engaged to synchronize the rotation speed of the planet carrier 550 and the inner ring 570, the torque of the planet carrier 550 is transmitted to the inner ring 570, and the inner ring 570 outputs the torque to the wheels through the output member 580.

[0139] The pawl slot 24 includes a locking section that accommodates the locking portion 210 of the pawl 200, and the position of the locking section is staggered with the position of the outer teeth of the sun gear. This can further ensure that the position of the outer teeth of the sun gear 520 does not need to be left out to wrap the pawl 200, and only other positions of the sun gear 520 need to be wrapped, so that the sun gear 520 can obtain a smaller radial dimension.

At this time, the inner transmission does not shift through the planetary gear mechanism.

[0150] When the pawl control ring controls the pawl 200 to open, the sun gear 520 is locked. When the input member 540 inputs torque, the torque first passes through the planet carrier 550, the planet carrier 550 rotates to drive the planet gear 530 to rotate, the sun gear 520 meshes with the planet gear 530, so that the rotation speed of the inner ring gear 570 is higher than that of the planet carrier 550, at this time the clutch 560 is separated, so that the torque of the inner ring gear 570 is output to the wheel through the output member 580.
