The booster electric bicycle is a new type two-wheel vehicle, belonging to a kind of bicycle, and uses battery as auxiliary power source, and is equipped with motor, and possesses power auxiliary system, and can implement manpower riding and motor boosting integrated new type transportation means.
In the field of power-assisted electric bicycles, the installation positions of motors are mainly divided into two types, one type is a middle-mounted motor, namely, the motor is installed in the middle position of a bicycle body, namely, the motor in a five-way position, and the motor is called as a middle-mounted motor. Referring to fig. 1, it can be understood that the electric bicycle includes a frame 103, a wheel 104, a pedal crank 105, pedals 106, a chain 107, a driving sprocket 108 and a center motor 100, the center motor 100 is connected to the frame 103 and connected to the rear wheel through the chain 107 to transmit power, and the pedals 106 are installed on both sides of the center motor 100, so that a rider can ride on the bicycle manually by pedaling without any difference between resistance and normal bicycles in the case that the center motor 100 has no power source.
Another type is mounted in the hub of a bicycle, called a hub motor. Compare in-wheel motor, put the motor and all have great advantage in aspects such as technique and performance. For example, the mid-motor has the advantages that the front and rear weight balance of the whole vehicle can be kept as much as possible, the action of the shock absorber is not influenced, the road impact borne by the motor is smaller, the ultrahigh integration degree can reduce the exposure of unnecessary wire pipes, and therefore the vehicle model is superior to the vehicle model matched with the hub motor in the aspects of off-road controllability, stability, trafficability and the like.
In the related art, in most of middle-placed motors, a one-way clutch of a motor power assisting part is arranged on an intermediate gear of a gear transmission assembly, the arrangement increases the overall size of the intermediate gear, and the structure and the assembly form of the intermediate gear are more complicated.
Referring to fig. 2 to 7, how the mid-motor 100 and the electric bicycle according to the embodiment of the present invention solve the above problems will be described.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, it can be understood that the mid-motor 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 101, a crank shaft 102, a power take-off 201, a motor 202, a gear reduction mechanism 203, a first one-way clutch 204, and a second one-way clutch 205, and the housing 101 is configured to be fixedly connected to the frame 103 so as to ensure stability of the entire mid-motor 100.
The crank shaft 102 is inserted into the housing 101 and is rotatably connected with the housing 101, the crank shaft 102 is used for connecting a pedal crank 105, and the pedal crank 105 is connected with a pedal 106. The first one-way clutch 204 is provided between the power output member 201 and the crank shaft 102. When a rider steps on the pedal 106, the pedal crank 105 drives the crank shaft 102 to rotate, the first one-way clutch 204 works, and manpower is transmitted to the power output part 201 through the first one-way clutch 204, so that the power of the pedal is transmitted to the wheel 104, and finally the wheel 104 is driven to rotate.
The motor 202 is fixedly connected to the housing 101, so that the motor 202 stably provides power to achieve the assisting effect. The gear reduction mechanism 203 is connected to the output of the motor 202, and the second one-way clutch 205 is provided between the output and the power output member 201. The power of the motor 202 is transmitted to the gear reduction mechanism 203, and the second one-way clutch 205 operates, so that the power of the motor 202 is transmitted to the wheels 104, and finally the wheels 104 are driven to rotate.
In addition, by using the first one-way clutch 204, in the case that the motor 202 outputs power and the rider does not step on the pedal, the phenomenon that the crank shaft 102 causes magnetic resistance or mechanical resistance to the gear reduction mechanism 203 is eliminated, so that it is ensured that additional resistance to the motor 202 is not increased when the rider does not step on the pedal. By using the second one-way clutch 205, when the motor 202 stops operating, the phenomenon that the motor 202 and the gear reduction mechanism 203 cause magnetic resistance or mechanical resistance to the crank shaft 102 is eliminated, and further, when the motor 202 does not assist, it is ensured that extra resistance to a rider is not increased.
It can be understood that the crankshaft 102 is driven by manpower to rotate in the forward direction, and meanwhile, when the motor 202 does not provide assistance to the power output part 201, the crankshaft 102 can drive the first one-way clutch 204 to work, the manpower is transmitted to the power output part 201 through the first one-way clutch 204, at the moment, the second one-way clutch 205 idles, the manpower does not influence the gear reduction mechanism 203, and the power output part 201 is driven to rotate by manpower pedaling. In addition, when the rider stops pedaling or rotates the pedal plate 106 in the reverse direction, the crank shaft 102 rotates in the reverse direction with respect to the first one-way clutch 204, that is, the crank shaft 102 does not transmit power to the power output member 201. In addition, when the motor 202 outputs power and the riding personnel do not pedal, the motor 202 rotates in the positive direction and is delivered to the power output part 201, the first one-way clutch 204 idles, and the motor 202 does not influence the crank shaft 102. That is, when the crank shaft 102 is rotated in the forward direction by the manual power, the power is supplied to the power output member 201 through the first one-way clutch 204, and when the crank shaft 102 is rotated in the reverse direction or is not rotated relatively, the crank shaft 102 and the first one-way clutch 204 rotate relatively, that is, the crank shaft 102 does not transmit resistance to the power output member 201.
It is understood that when the motor 202 rotates in the forward direction, the power take-off 201 can be rotated in the forward direction by the second one-way clutch 205. In addition, when the crankshaft 102 drives the power output member 201 to rotate and the motor 202 does not provide assistance to the power output member 201, the second one-way clutch 205 idles, that is, the power output member 201 can rotate relative to the second one-way clutch 205, and the rotation of the crankshaft 102 is not affected. When the rotation direction of the motor 202 with respect to the second one-way clutch 205 is reversed, the motor 202 does not transmit power to the pto 201 at this time either. That is, the motor 202 provides assist force to the power output member 201 through the second one-way clutch 205 when rotating in the forward direction with respect to the second one-way clutch 205, and the motor 202 and the second one-way clutch 205 rotate relatively when the motor 202 rotates in the reverse direction or does not rotate relatively with respect to the second one-way clutch 205, that is, the motor 202 does not transmit resistance force to the power output member 201.
It should be noted that when the crank shaft 102 rotates in the forward direction and/or the motor 202 rotates in the forward direction and drives the power output member 201, the electric bicycle is in the forward traveling state.
Referring to fig. 3, it can be understood that the casing 101 includes a first housing 206, a second housing 207, a first end cap 208, and a second end cap 209. The material of the casing 101 may be aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, or magnesium aluminum alloy. The first end cover 208 is located at the left rear position of the first housing 206, so that a first cavity for accommodating the motor 202 is defined by the left rear portion of the first housing 206 and the first end cover 208 together, the second end cover 209 is located at the left half portion of the second housing 207 and located between the first housing 206 and the second housing 207, a second cavity for accommodating the gear reduction mechanism 203 is defined by the second end cover 209 and the second housing 207 together, the crank shaft 102 penetrates through the first housing 206 and the second housing 207, the first one-way clutch 204 is located at one end of the crank shaft 102 close to the first housing 206, and the second one-way clutch 205 is located at one end of the crank shaft 102 close to the second housing 207. The first end cover 208 and the first housing 206 are fixed to each other by bolts, the second end cover 209 and the second housing 207 are fixed to each other by bolts, and the first housing 206 and the second housing 207 are fixed to each other by bolts. A seal is disposed between the first housing 206 and the second housing 207, and is sealed from each other by the seal. The sealing element is a plane sealing element, and the material of the sealing element is non-metal material.
It will be appreciated that motor 202 is in the form of an outer stator inner rotor, including stator assembly 235, rotor assembly 236. A stator assembly 235 is disposed within the first housing 206, a rotor assembly 236 is disposed within an inner circumference of the stator assembly 235, and the rotor assembly 236 is coupled to the gear reduction mechanism 203. The wire winding of stator module 235 usually adopts circle wire winding, and circle wire winding's wire winding groove filling rate is lower, and under the unchangeable condition of stator module 235 volume, the power density and the efficiency of putting motor 100 in are all lower, and this kind of put motor 100 in and use in electric bicycle for the duration of battery consumption, therefore have very big demand to the promotion of motor 202 efficiency.
It can be understood that stator module 235 includes winding and stator core, stator core generally adopts the silicon steel sheet to cut and forms, the silicon steel sheet that will cut out processes the stator core of coiling formula, in order to improve the utilization ratio of silicon steel sheet, need design the piece in advance when cutting and cut the mode, if stator core's tooth portion is provided with tooth boots, when cutting stator core, must go to design the piece according to tooth boots and cut the mode, but no matter how optimize, under the condition that has tooth boots, the material utilization ratio of silicon steel sheet also can only reach 70% at most, hardly further promote. The stator core of the embodiment of the invention adopts the tooth part without the tooth shoe, optimizes the splicing and cutting mode and further improves the material utilization rate of the silicon steel sheet.
The tooth part is arranged to be in the shape of straight teeth, the winding does not need to be wound on the tooth part, the winding can be completed by a tool outside, the operation space is large, and the full rate of the winding slot can be effectively improved. In addition, the winding adopts the aluminium wire of non-circular cross section, for example the aluminium wire of square cross section, and the tooth adopts straight tooth shape structure, for example the cross section of tooth is the same for square, and the aluminium wire of winding matches the shape of tooth, and the aluminium wire is closely laminated at the outer wall of tooth for the arrangement of aluminium wire is more inseparable, therefore has improved stator module 235's wire winding groove filling factor. Therefore, the motor 202 adopts a flat wire process, the power density and the efficiency of the middle motor 100 are improved under the condition that the volume of the stator assembly 235 is not changed, and the middle motor 100 is applied to an electric vehicle, so that the endurance of the electric vehicle is improved.
Referring to fig. 3, it is understood that the gear reduction mechanism 203 is a parallel shaft type reduction gear set disposed in parallel with the crank shaft 102 in the housing 101, and may be a two-stage reduction gear set or a three-stage reduction gear set according to different speed ratio requirements.
Referring to fig. 3, it can be appreciated that the gear reduction mechanism 203 is a three-stage reduction gear set including an input shaft 210, an input gear 211, a first countershaft 212, a primary driven gear 213, a secondary drive gear 214, a second countershaft 215, a secondary driven gear 216, a tertiary drive gear 217, an output shaft 218, an output gear 219, and sets of bearings. The input shaft 210 rotates together with the rotor assembly 236 and is arranged in parallel with respect to the axis of the crank shaft 102, and the input gear 211 is arranged on the input shaft 210. A first intermediate shaft 212 is arranged in parallel with respect to the axis of the crank shaft 102, a primary driven gear 213 is arranged on the first intermediate shaft 212, is meshed with the input gear 211, and has a larger number of teeth than the input gear 211, and a secondary driving gear 214 is arranged on the first intermediate shaft 212. A second intermediate shaft 215 is arranged in parallel with respect to the axis of the crank shaft 102, a secondary driven gear 216 is arranged on the second intermediate shaft 215, is engaged with the secondary driving gear 214, and has a larger number of teeth than the secondary driving gear 214, and a tertiary driving gear 217 is arranged on the second intermediate shaft 215. An output shaft 218 rotates coaxially with the pto 201, and an output gear 219 is disposed on the output shaft 218, meshes with the third drive gear 217, and has a larger number of teeth than the third drive gear 217. The multiple bearing sets support the input shaft 210, the first intermediate shaft 212, the second intermediate shaft 215, and the output shaft 218 so as to be rotatable about their axes.
It is understood that the material of the gear reduction mechanism 203 may be all steel. The primary driven gear 213 and the secondary driven gear 216 can also be made of steel and plastic material, and can adopt a plastic-coated structure or a nested structure.
It is understood that the input gear 211 and the input shaft 210 may be a unitary structure, the first intermediate shaft 212 and the secondary driving gear 214 may be a unitary structure, the primary driven gear 213 may be fixed to the first intermediate shaft 212 by spline or interference fit, the second intermediate shaft 215 and the tertiary driving gear 217 may be a unitary structure, the secondary driven gear 216 may be fixed to the second intermediate shaft 215 by spline or interference fit, and the output gear 219 and the output shaft 218 may be a unitary structure. The input shaft 210 and the rotor assembly 236 may be coupled together by way of splines or an interference fit.
