Drawings
Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of an electric axle for a motor vehicle according to the invention.
Detailed Description
Embodiments of an electric axle for a motor vehicle according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following detailed description and drawings are included to illustrate the principles of the invention, which is not to be limited to the preferred embodiments described, but is to be defined by the appended claims.
As shown in fig. 1, an electric axle 100 for a motor vehicle according to the present invention includes an electric motor 1, a speed reducer, and a differential.
The above components are described in detail below.
The electric motor 1 is drivingly connected to a retarder for providing a driving torque to the retarder through an electric motor output shaft.
The speed reducer includes an input shaft. The reduction gear is configured to receive an input drive torque through an input shaft and to increase the drive torque to output to a differential, which is configured to distribute the drive torque to a first wheel (not shown) drivingly connected to the first output shaft 10 and a second wheel (not shown) drivingly connected to the second output shaft 11 through the first output shaft 10 and the second output shaft 11, respectively.
The gear unit also comprises a first planetary gear, a second planetary gear, and a gear unit housing for accommodating the first planetary gear and the second planetary gear. The first planetary transmission is configured to receive drive torque from the input shaft and output to the second planetary transmission. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the first planetary gear includes a sun gear 2, first planetary gears 3, and a first ring gear 5, the first ring gear 5 includes internal teeth and external teeth, the internal teeth of the first ring gear 5 are for meshing with the first planetary gears 3, and a first planetary gear shaft 4 fitted with the first planetary gears 3 is configured to be fixed to a reduction gear case. As can be understood by those skilled in the art, in the electric axle 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the driving torque is input from the input shaft to the first planetary gear, the sun gear 2 receives the input torque as an input end of the first planetary gear to rotate, thereby transmitting the driving torque to the first planetary gear 3 engaged with the sun gear 2; then, since the first planetary gear shaft 4 fitted with the first planetary gear 3 is fixed to the reduction housing, as the sun gear 2 rotates, the first planetary gear 3 is driven by the sun gear 2 engaged therewith to rotate about the first planetary gear shaft 4 as the rotation axis and does not rotate around the sun gear 2; next, the first ring gear 5 meshing with the first planetary gear 3 is driven to rotate with the rotation of the first planetary gear 3, so that the first ring gear 5 outputs the driving torque as an output end of the first planetary gear.
The second planetary gear set includes a second planetary gear 6, a planetary carrier 8, and a second ring gear 7, and the second ring gear 7 is configured to be fixed to a gear case. The first ring gear 5 meshes with the second planetary gear 6 via its outer toothing, so that the first planetary gear and the second planetary gear are in driving connection. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the first ring gear 5 is used as a ring gear of the first planetary transmission device and also used as a sun gear of the second planetary transmission device, and in the electric axle 100 according to the embodiment of the invention, when the driving torque is input from the first ring gear 4 to the second planetary transmission device, the second planet gears 6 are driven to rotate by the first ring gear 4 engaged therewith, so that the planet carrier 8 is driven to rotate, and therefore, the planet carrier 8 outputs the driving torque as an output end of the second planetary transmission device.
Furthermore, the differential comprises a differential housing 9, the planet carrier 8 of the second planetary gear being configured as one piece with the differential housing 9, so that the planet carrier 8 is in driving connection with the differential. In the electric axle according to the embodiment of the present invention, the driving torque is input to the differential through the differential case 9 integrally formed with the carrier 8 of the second planetary gear, and then the differential outputs the driving torque to the two wheels through the bevel gears. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the carrier 8 and the differential case 9 are integrally formed as an example only, and the connection between the carrier 8 and the differential case 9 may be sufficient to achieve transmission of drive torque therebetween, and may be a mechanical fastener connection, for example.
Thus, the drive torque is input from the input shaft to the sun gear 2 of the first planetary gear, transmitted to the second planetary gear 6 via the first planetary gear 3 and the first ring gear 5 in order, and output to the differential via the carrier 8 of the second planetary gear 6.
The following describes a transmission process of the driving torque of the electric axle 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
A driving torque is input from the input shaft to the sun gear 2 of the first planetary gear set to rotate the sun gear 2 about the input shaft. Then, the sun gear 2 rotating around the input shaft drives the first planetary gears 3 to rotate by the meshing force between the gears, thereby transmitting the driving torque to the first planetary gears 3 meshing therewith. Next, the rotating first planetary gear 3 drives the first ring gear 5 to rotate by the meshing force between the gears, thereby transmitting the drive torque to the first ring gear 5 meshing therewith to complete the transmission of the drive torque in the first planetary gear device with the sun gear 2 as an input end and the first ring gear 5 as an output end. Then, the first ring gear 5 serves as a sun gear of the second planetary gear, the second planetary gear 6 is driven to rotate by the meshing force between the gears, so that the driving torque is transmitted to the second planetary gear 6 meshed with the first ring gear and is transmitted to the planet carrier 8 so as to drive the planet carrier 8 to rotate, and the transmission of the driving torque with the first ring gear 5 as an input end and the planet carrier 8 as an output end in the second planetary gear is completed. Then, the drive torque is input into the differential from the differential case 9 integrally formed with the carrier 8, thereby achieving transmission of the drive torque from the reduction gear to the differential. Finally, the differential outputs drive torque to the two wheels via bevel gears.
In the electric axle according to the present invention, the electric axle has an arrangement in which one planetary gear (i.e., the first planetary gear described in the above embodiment) is embedded in the other planetary gear (i.e., the second planetary gear described in the above embodiment), and therefore, the axial dimension of the electric axle can be reduced. Moreover, because the planetary transmission device has the characteristics of small volume and large speed ratio, the driving torque amplification function of the speed reducer can be improved, and the radial size of the gear in the connecting transmission device can be reduced, so that the radial size of the electric axle is reduced. Therefore, the electric axle has the advantage of compact structure.
In addition, in the electric axle according to the present invention, the first ring gear with internal teeth and external teeth serves as the first ring gear of the inner planetary gear as well as the sun gear of the outer planetary gear, and the carrier of the inner planetary gear can be omitted so that the planetary gear shaft is directly fixed to the reduction gear case, so that the electric axle according to the present invention has advantages of simple structure, low cost, good lubrication performance, and low noise.
As described above, although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described in the description with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the scope of the present invention should be defined by the claims and their equivalents.
