The braking force and the electric braking force are reasonably and efficiently distributed, and the electric energy generated by the electric braking can be recovered to the maximum under the premise of ensuring the safety of the vehicle braking.

When the vehicle is braking, according to the selected vehicle control strategy, when the speed of the vehicle is higher than a certain speed and the action of the brake pedal meets certain conditions, the electric braking torque is firstly generated by the in-wheel motor 6, and the electric braking torque is generated by the half-shaft, planetary Reducer 2, sun gear 21, ring gear to hub 3, and finally act on the rim to brake the rim 1; when the vehicle travels at a lower speed than a certain speed, and the brake pedal action meets certain conditions, the hub brake 4 and The hub motors 6 are all put into operation, and the mechanical braking force of the hub 3 acts on the rim 1 through the electric braking force of the motor transmitted from the hub 3 and the hub 3 to complete the electromechanical combined braking of the rim 1; when the vehicle speed is lower than a certain speed or braking force. When the action of the moving pedal meets certain conditions, the electric braking force is cancelled, and only the wheel hub brake 4 generates the braking force and the rim 1 to complete the braking of the vehicle;

See 8(b) for the transmission path of the mechanical braking force: the brake disc 41 of the hub brake 4 is fixedly connected to the hub 3, and the housing of the hub brake 4 is connected to the flange 5 of the motor shaft end cover, which realizes the mechanical braking of the hub brake 4. The power acts directly on the hub 3 and is transmitted to the wheel;

The flow is divided, then converged to the hub 3, and finally transmitted to the rim 1, so as to realize the transmission of the bearing capacity of the electric wheel.

Since the bearing capacity is divided by the inner cylindrical portion 13 and the outer cylindrical portion 14 near the axle, the bearing load of the inner cylindrical portion 13 and the outer cylindrical portion 14 is reduced, and the reliability of the transmission components is improved. The part 13 and the outer cylindrical part 14 jointly carry the above-mentioned vertical load of the whole vehicle, so that this solution is suitable for heavy electric vehicles.

4. The force transmission path of the ground acting on the rim 1 is shown in Figure 8(c), as follows:

The force acting on the rim 1 by the ground is transmitted to the inner cylindrical part 13 and the outer cylindrical part 14 through the hub 3 for shunting, and then converges to the flange 5 of the motor shaft end cover, and then passes through the hub motor housing 61 and the motor steering knuckle end in turn. Cover 7. The suspension swing arm is transmitted to the suspension.

Since the force acting on the rim 1 by the ground is dispersed by the inner cylindrical portion 13 and the outer cylindrical portion 14, the bearing load of the inner cylindrical portion 13 and the outer cylindrical portion 14 is reduced, and the reliability of the transmission components is improved. The cylindrical portion 13 and the outer cylindrical portion 14 jointly bear the above-mentioned force acting on the rim 1 by the ground, so that this solution is suitable for heavy-duty electric vehicles.
