Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.

The driving shaft locking device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, the driving shaft locking device 100 may be applied to a vehicle, and is particularly suitable for a new energy vehicle using distributed driving, the driving shaft locking device 100 may be used to lock two driving shafts, so that left and right wheels may rotate synchronously, and the vehicle may be an electric vehicle, but is not limited thereto.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a drive shaft locking device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a planetary gear mechanism 10, a first drive shaft 20, a second drive shaft 30, a power coupling device 40, and a manual drive device 50.

The planetary gear mechanism 10 includes a sun gear 11, planet gears 12, a carrier 13, and a ring gear 14, the planet gears 12 being rotatably mounted on the carrier 13, and the planet gears 12 being engaged between the sun gear 11 and the ring gear 14, whereby the planet gears 12 can transmit power between the sun gear 11 and the ring gear 14. Here, the planet wheel 12 may be a plurality of, for example, three, and three planet wheels 12 may be uniformly distributed about the central axis of the sun wheel 11. The planet carrier 13 may have a planet axle on which the planet wheels 12 are mounted.

The first drive shaft 20 and the second drive shaft 30 are two separate shafts, for example, the first drive shaft 20 may be in transmission with the left wheel and the second drive shaft 30 may be in transmission with the right wheel. The axes of the first drive shaft 20 and the second drive shaft 30 may be collinear. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, the first drive shaft 20 may be a right half shaft and the second drive shaft 30 may be a left half shaft.

The power coupling device 40 includes a first coupling portion 41 and a second coupling portion 42, the first drive shaft 20 is connected to the sun gear 11, and the first drive shaft 20 is also arranged to rotate in synchronization with the first coupling portion 41 (i.e., rotate at the same speed and in the same direction), the second drive shaft 30 is connected to the ring gear 14, and the second drive shaft 30 is also arranged to rotate in synchronization with the second coupling portion 42 (i.e., rotate at the same speed and in the same direction).

The manual driving device 50 may include: the drive pin 51 is provided so as to be rotatable about the center axis of the sun gear 11 in association with the carrier 13, and the manual drive unit 52 is provided so as to allow the drive pin 51 to axially move relative to the carrier 13.

Both ends of the driving pin 51 are engaged with the manual driving portion 52 and the second engaging portion 42, respectively, and the manual driving portion 52 is provided to drive the driving pin 51 to move the second engaging portion 42 in a direction to approach the first engaging portion 41 in the axial direction (i.e., in a left-to-right direction shown in fig. 1), thereby engaging the second engaging portion 42 with the first engaging portion 41.

That is, the planet carrier 13 can drive the driving pin 51 to rotate synchronously, and the manual driving portion 52 can drive the driving pin 51 to move from left to right, because one end of the driving pin 51 is engaged with the second engaging portion 42, so that the driving pin 51 can drive the second engaging portion 42 to move from left to right synchronously, the second engaging portion 42 is continuously close to the first engaging portion 41 until the second engaging portion 42 is engaged with the first engaging portion 41, wherein when the first engaging portion 41 is engaged with the second engaging portion 42, the first driving shaft 20 and the second driving shaft 30 are locked with each other, the first driving shaft 20 and the second driving shaft 30 can rotate synchronously, so that the power of one side of slipping can be output through the other side, and thus the escape of the vehicle can be facilitated.

The traditional electric locking differential mechanism is added with an electric actuating locking mechanism on the basis of a common open differential mechanism, so that the differential mechanism has a locking function and is locked through an electric control differential mechanism. The electric locking differential mechanism is commonly applied to a centralized drive type fuel automobile, namely, power is distributed to a left half shaft and a right half shaft after passing through a main speed reducer and the differential mechanism, and the differential mechanism is used for adjusting the speed difference of the left wheel and the right wheel. But cannot be directly applied to electric vehicles, which are bulky and do not have an engine.

Thus, the driving shaft locking device 100 of the present invention is significantly different from the conventional electric locking differential in structure and implementation, and the manual driving device 50 and the power coupling device 40 are arranged to lock the first driving shaft 20 and the second driving shaft 30, so that the driving shaft locking device 100 has a simple structure, reliable functions, few parts, a small size and a low cost.

Wherein, as shown in fig. 1, the planetary gear mechanism 10, the power coupling device 40, the first drive shaft 20 and the second drive shaft 30 are coaxially arranged. Therefore, the drive shaft locking device 100 can be made small in radial dimension, small in size, and small in occupied space.

As shown in fig. 1, the manual driving unit 52 may include: the follower 521 is capable of rotating along with the driving needle 51, the follower 521 can be braked, the follower 521 is provided with a driving surface 523, when the follower 521 is braked, the driving needle 51 slides on the driving surface 523 to change the contact and matching position of the driving needle 51 and the driving surface 523, so that the driving surface 523 drives the driving needle 51 to move in the axial direction to enable the second engaging part 42 to engage with the first engaging part 41. It will be understood that the follower 521 and the driving needle 51 may be in synchronous rotation before the follower 521 is not braked, but after the follower 521 is braked, the rotation speed of the follower 521 is reduced, and a rotation speed difference will occur between the follower 521 and the driving needle 51, so that the driving needle 51 can slide on the driving surface 523 of the follower 521, and the driving needle 51 after sliding can move axially relative to the planet carrier 13, so that the driving needle 51 can bring the second engaging part 42 gradually closer to the first engaging part 41 until the second engaging part 42 is engaged with the first engaging part 41.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, the manual driving section 52 may further include: the manual braking portion 522 is provided to brake the follower portion 521. That is, the manual brake portion 522 can function as the brake follower portion 521, and when it is necessary to join the first joining portion 41 and the second joining portion 42, the manual brake portion 522 can brake the follower portion 521.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 7, the manual braking portion 522 includes: annular braking protruding 522a, the split ring 522b and cable 522d, annular braking protruding 522a is fixed and is set up in one side of follower 521, from this, annular braking protruding 522a can rotate with follower 521 synchronous, and split ring 522b overlaps the outside at annular braking protruding 522a, and the internal diameter of split ring 522b can be greater than the external diameter of annular braking protruding 522a, and split ring 522b and annular braking protruding 522a are at the interval in the footpath, and split ring 522b is seted up split ring breach 522c in the circumference. The zipper 522d is used to pull the zipper 522b to reduce the size of the zipper notch 522c, thereby causing the zipper 522b to grip and brake the annular braking projection 522 a. Thus, when the zipper 522d is not pulled, there is a gap between the zipper 522b and the annular stopper projection 522a in the radial direction, and the zipper 522b may not obstruct the synchronous rotation of the annular stopper projection 522a with the follower 521.

When the zipper 522d is pulled, the zipper 522d may make both ends of the zipper notch 522c approach each other, so that the size of the zipper notch 522c decreases, the radial gap between the zipper 522b and the annular braking protrusion 522a decreases gradually until the two contact each other, the zipper 522b and the annular braking protrusion 522a begin to rub against each other, the zipper 522b begins to brake the annular braking protrusion 522a by way of friction, so that a rotational speed difference may be generated between the follower 521 and the driving pin 51, and the second engaging part 42 moves axially until the second engaging part is engaged with the first engaging part 41.

As shown in fig. 7, the zipper 522b has a zipper first end and a zipper second end defining a zipper notch 522c therebetween, a zipper 522d passes through the zipper second end, and the zipper 522d is fixed with the zipper first end. Thus, the zipper 522d may reduce the gap between the first end of the zipper and the second end of the zipper by pulling the first end of the zipper, may reduce the size of the zipper notch 522c, and may allow the zipper 522b to grip the annular detent protrusion 522 a.

Further, as shown in fig. 7, a pull lock ring spring 522e may be disposed between the first end of the pull lock ring and the second end of the pull lock ring. The pull-lock ring spring 522e may provide a counter force to the first end of the pull-lock ring, and after the pull action of the pull-lock ring is completed, the counter force provided by the pull-lock ring spring 522e may urge the first end of the pull-lock ring to return to the initial position, such that the pull-lock ring notch 522c returns to the maximum position and the pull-lock ring 522b also releases the detent from the annular detent protrusion 522 a. With the control method of the manual brake and the planetary gear mechanism, the control system of the drive shaft locking device 100 can be simplified, and the system reliability can be made higher.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, the follower 521 may be fitted over the first drive shaft 20 in a hollow manner. Thus, the engagement between the follower 521 and the driving pin 51 can be facilitated, and the axial length of the driving shaft locking device 100 can be reduced at least to some extent, and the volume of the driving shaft locking device 100 can be reduced.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the driving surface 523 may be a sloped or curved surface. By providing drive surface 523 with a sloped or curved surface, sliding of drive needle 51 on drive surface 523 may be facilitated and drive needle 51 may be urged to move in an axial direction.

Further, the driving surface 523 may include: the first segment 523a is connected to the second segment 523b, the connection point of the first segment 523a and the second segment 523b is the lowest point, and the other ends of the first segment 523a and the second segment 523b far away from the connection point are the highest points. Thus, when the one end of the actuating pin 51 is at the lowest point, the first engaging portion 41 and the second engaging portion 42 are in the disengaged state, and when the one end of the actuating pin 51 is at or near the highest point, the first engaging portion 41 and the second engaging portion 42 are in the engaged state. This facilitates the sliding of the driving needle 51 between the lowest point and the highest point by properly arranging the driving surface 523, which facilitates the engagement of the first engaging part 41 and the second engaging part 42, and improves the operational reliability of the driving shaft locking device 100.

Preferably, each of the first segment 523a and the second segment 523b may be circular arc-shaped. The first segment 523a and the second segment 523b having the circular arc shape may facilitate sliding of one end of the driving needle 51 on the driving surface 523, and may reduce a movement resistance of the driving needle 51.

Optionally, the corresponding circle center angles of each of the first segment 523a and the second segment 523b are the same. In this way, the first segment 523a and the second segment 523b are substantially identical, thereby further facilitating the sliding of the driving needle 51 on the driving surface 523.

Alternatively, drive face 523 may be multi-segmented, with the multi-segmented drive face 523 spaced circumferentially apart. Thereby, the number of the driving pins 51 may correspond to the number of the driving surfaces 523, which may increase the number of the driving pins 51, so that the plurality of driving pins 51 may be reliably engaged with the second engaging portion 42, the axial movement of the second engaging portion 42 may be reliably made, and the operation of the drive shaft locking device 100 may be more reliably made.

The multi-section driving surfaces 523 can be connected with each other through a connecting plane, and the connecting plane is flush with the highest point. This can improve the structural reliability of the follower 521 on the surface of the driving surface 523 at least to some extent, and can improve the structural reliability of the drive shaft locking device 100.

According to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the follower 521 may include: the follower portion includes a follower portion body 521a and an annular follower portion flange 521b provided on the follower portion body 521a, and a drive surface 523 is provided on an end surface of the follower portion flange 521b facing the drive needle 51. Thus, the follower body 521a can effectively enhance the structural reliability of the follower 521, and the driving surface 523 can be provided on the end surface of the follower flange 521b, so that the difficulty in designing the driving surface 523 can be reduced, and the structural reliability of the driving surface 523 can be improved.

Further, as shown in fig. 4, the driving surface 523 may be provided with a driving surface limiting groove 523c, and one end of the driving pin 51 is located in the driving surface limiting groove 523 c. Therefore, by providing the driving surface limiting groove 523c, one end of the driving needle 51 can be engaged in the driving surface limiting groove 523c, so that the one end of the driving needle 51 can be prevented from being disengaged from the driving surface 523 to at least a certain extent, and the moving reliability and stability of the driving needle 51 on the driving surface 523 can be improved.

Alternatively, the planet gears 12 are mounted on the planet carrier 13 by a planet gear shaft, and the drive pin 51 and the planet gear shaft may be the same component. Thus, by setting the length of the planetary gear shaft appropriately, the drive pin 51 can be omitted, and the planetary gear shaft can be reliably arranged on the carrier 13, so that the cost of the drive shaft locking device 100 can be reduced, and the number of parts of the drive shaft locking device 100 can be reduced.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the driving pin 51 penetrates through the planet carrier 13, and the driving pin 51 is spaced apart from the planet wheel shaft. Therefore, the driving needle 51 and the planet wheel shaft are two independent components, so that the change of the planet carrier 13 can be reduced, and the driving shaft locking device 100 can realize a corresponding locking function by reasonably arranging the driving needle 51. Alternatively, in this embodiment, the driver pin 51 is arranged in parallel with the planetary wheel shaft 13.

As shown in fig. 1, there may be two planetary carriers 13, and the two planetary carriers 13 are respectively disposed at two sides of the sun gear 11, and the driving pin 51 penetrates through the two planetary carriers 13. Therefore, the driving pin 51 needs to be engaged with the second engaging portion 42, so that the axial length of the driving pin 51 is large, and therefore, by arranging the two spaced planetary carriers 13, it is possible to advantageously ensure the arrangement stability of the driving pin 51, so that the structural reliability of the driving shaft locking device 100 can be improved, and the driving pin 51 can be installed with improved coaxiality and is not easily displaced during axial movement.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, 3, 5, and 6, the drive shaft locking device 100 may further include: a sleeve 60, the sleeve 60 being connected between the ring gear 14 and the second drive shaft 30, the second engagement portion 42 rotating with the sleeve 60, and the second engagement portion 42 being axially movable relative to the sleeve 60. The sleeve 60 and the second drive shaft 30 may be an integral part, and then the sleeve 60 may be connected to the ring gear 14. Wherein the second engaging portion 42 rotates with the sleeve 60 so that the second engaging portion 42 can rotate synchronously with the second driving shaft 30 via the sleeve 60, and by arranging the second engaging portion 42 to be axially movable with respect to the sleeve 60, the second engaging portion 42 can be urged to be axially movable with respect to the first engaging portion 41 without affecting the sleeve 60 and the second driving shaft 30, so that the structural reliability and the operational reliability of the driving shaft locking device 100 can be improved.

Further, as shown in fig. 2 and 5, the sleeve 60 is provided with a sleeve axial groove 61, the second engaging portion 42 is provided with a second engaging portion protrusion 421, and the second engaging portion protrusion 421 is provided in the sleeve axial groove 61, so that the second engaging portion 42 can rotate with the sleeve 60, and the second engaging portion 42 can move axially relative to the sleeve 60. The sleeve axial groove 61 extends in the axial direction, which facilitates the axial movement of the second engaging portion protrusion 421 on the sleeve axial groove 61, and facilitates the limitation of the circumferential position of the second engaging portion protrusion 421, so that the sleeve 60 can drive the second engaging portion 42 to rotate synchronously. The sleeve axial grooves 61 may be plural, the plural sleeve axial grooves 61 may be uniformly distributed on the inner surface of the sleeve 60 at intervals, the second engaging portion protrusions 421 may be plural, and the plural second engaging portion protrusions 421 correspond to the plural sleeve axial grooves 61 one to one.

Wherein the second engaging portion 42 may be empty over the first drive shaft 20 as shown in fig. 1. The second engaging portion 42 thus provided can contribute to a reduction in the axial dimension of the drive shaft locking device 100, and can contribute to a reduction in the volume of the drive shaft locking device 100, and in addition, can contribute to an improvement in the reliability of the arrangement of the second engaging portion 42.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1 and 6, both the first engaging portion 41 and the second engaging portion 42 may be received within the sleeve 60. Thus, the sleeve 60 can protect the first engagement portion 41 and the second engagement portion 42, and can prevent the lubricant oil of the first engagement portion 41 and the second engagement portion 42 from leaking out, thereby improving the structural reliability of the drive shaft locking device 100.
