A wheel-mounted modular emergency drive unit according to the present invention is a device installed in a non-driving wheel of a two-front-wheel or a two-rear-wheel drive vehicle to transmit power to the non-driving wheel, and comprises: a driving unit installed in a vehicle body to generate a driving force; a reduction gear capable of increasing the driving force; a wheel connecting portion connected to the non-driving wheel to transmit power to the non-driving wheel; and a clutch unit installed between the wheel connecting portion and the driving unit to connect or disconnect power transmitted from the driving unit.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a wheel-mounted modular emergency drive unit,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wheel mounted modular emergency driving apparatus, and more particularly, to a wheel mounted modular emergency driving apparatus capable of forcibly driving a wheel in a situation where a wheel is required to be mounted on a wheel.

Generally, a four-wheel vehicle can be divided into a two-wheel drive system and a four-wheel drive system depending on the drive system.

The two-wheel drive vehicle can be divided into FR (Front Engine Rear Drive), FF (Front Engine Front Drive) and RR (Rear Engine Rear Drive) depending on the position of the engine and the transmission and the actual driving wheel position. Of these, the RR system is used for sports car, rather than a general passenger car and SUV type vehicle, and therefore a two-wheel drive vehicle can be generally regarded as an FF system or an FR system.

In such FF and FR type vehicles, both the engine and the transmission are installed in front of the vehicle, but their arrangement is different. The FR type vehicle generally has a structure in which the engine and the transmission are disposed along the front-rear direction of the vehicle and can transmit power from the transmission to the rear wheel through the propeller shaft. In the FF type, the engine and the transmission are arranged in the lateral direction And has a structure in which power is transmitted to the front wheels through a differential which is integrally formed with the transmission.

On the other hand, a four-wheel-drive vehicle employs a transfer case for forward and rearward power distribution, a drive shaft for transmitting driving force, a clutch, a transmission, and differential, etc. to appropriately supply the driving force of the engine to four wheels. A part time system in which the power to the front wheels is interrupted by manual operation according to the shift mode and a full time system in which the four wheel drive state is always maintained can be distinguished, Depending on the driving mechanism, it is divided into a mechanical four-wheel drive system and a motor-driven four-wheel drive system.

In the mechanical four-wheel drive system, after the engine power is distributed from the auxiliary transmission through the transmission to the front and rear wheels, the engine is transmitted through the propeller shaft via the coupling and the differential device. In the coupling, the mechanical power or the ECU determines the operation state and the power transmission amount according to the vehicle state, and the rear wheel power transmission rate can be varied. Although the mechanical four-wheel drive system has excellent performance, it requires a high level of technical skill in manufacturing the front and rear wheel power distributing devices, and the structure of the power transmission device is large and complicated, And a reduction in space usability.

The motor-driven four-wheel drive system described above does not require a sub-transmission, a propeller shaft, and a coupling used in a mechanical four-wheel drive system, and has a structure capable of four-wheel drive using a motor mounted on a rear wheel. In the motor-driven four-wheel drive system described above, only two-wheel drive is performed at the time of normal running. The electronic clutch can be used to interlock between the motor and the gear set to minimize the loss of unnecessary driving force. The power is transmitted to the rear wheel side by quickly connecting the motor and the gear set using the clutch. The electronic clutch operates by applying pressure to the clutch by driving a pressure applying device such as a ball ramp through a magnetic force generated by applying a current to an electromagnet. In the case of the above driving device, there is a problem that a large-capacity motor driving source for generating a rear wheel driving force must be additionally mounted.

Since the four-wheel drive vehicle is powered by four wheels, the initial acceleration performance is excellent. Even when the front wheel or the rear wheel falls into the puddle or the mud, the power is transferred to the remaining wheels, . Especially, it has an advantage of excellent driving safety on snowy roads and ice roads.

However, in the case of the four-wheel drive system, since the weight of the vehicle is increased and the power transmission can be performed on all four wheels, the production cost is increased and the fuel economy of the vehicle is adversely affected. In most of the driving conditions except for the special driving conditions, there are ineffective disadvantages. As a result, most of the vehicles are being mass-produced by two-wheel drive.

Referring to the drawings, the wheel-mounted modular emergency-drive system of the present invention is installed in a non-driving wheel of a vehicle to drive a non-driving wheel in an emergency situation to improve the running performance of the vehicle.

That is, when the vehicle is a front-wheel-drive vehicle, it is installed on both rear wheels, and in the case of a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, it is installed on both front wheels.

The wheel mounted modular emergency driving apparatus of the present invention includes a driver, a speed reducer, a clutch portion, and a wheel connection portion.

The driver is a motor driven by electricity and may be configured to receive power from a battery of the vehicle or may include a separate battery on one side.

The speed reducer is connected to a driver and decelerates the rotational speed of the driving shaft output from the driver to an appropriate speed for driving the wheel W.

It is preferable that either the harmonic drive system or the cycloid gear is applied to the speed reducer.

A harmonic drive system is a structure in which three key component parts of a wave generator, a flexpline, and a circular spline are assembled on the same axis line. In addition, the cycloid gear is also connected to the input shaft by three eccentric bearings through the eccentric bearing, and a pin is provided in the inner diameter of the case. The deceleration output generated between the pin and the cicloid toothed gear is decelerated It is a structure that transmits power.

The harmonic drive system or the cycloid gear type speed reducer is suitable as a speed reducer for an emergency four-wheel system that transmits power to a non-driving wheel because it has characteristics such as small size, light weight, high speed reduction ratio and super precision.

The wheel connecting portion is connected to the wheel W of the non-driving wheel and rotates integrally with the wheel W of the non-driving wheel.

The clutch is installed between the speed reducer and the wheel connecting portion, and serves to connect or disconnect the power transmitting portion between the reducer and the wheel connecting portion so as to transmit power.

In a normal driving situation, the connection between the wheel connecting part and the speed reducer is cut off, so that the wheel connecting part freely rotates together with the rotation of the wheel, and the rotational force of the wheel is prevented from being transmitted to the driving machine.

When the drive unit is operated in a situation where power transmission to the non-drive wheel is required, the clutch connects the reducer and the wheel connection unit so as to transmit power to each other, and causes the wheel of the non-drive wheel to rotate by the drive unit.

Thus, the wheel-mounted modular emergency-drive system according to the present invention can be applied to a frame, a chassis or a support arm (Arm) that supports the non-driving wheels so as to transmit power to non-driving wheels of a two- And it is possible to transmit the power to the non-drive wheels as needed so that the four-wheel drive can be performed in an emergency situation.

In addition, the driver may be provided with a separate control switch at the driver's seat, and may connect the driver and the control switch by wire or wireless, so that the driver may be operated according to the switch operation of the driver.

Alternatively, the drive unit may be configured to be driven by an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. In addition to inputting a signal by the driver to drive the drive unit, And may be configured to automatically drive the driver when a slip occurs on one side.

The above-described vehicle-mounted modular emergency-drive device according to the present invention can be mounted on a two-wheeled vehicle to selectively perform four-wheel drive, thereby solving problems such as an increase in manufacturing cost and a decrease in fuel consumption compared to a conventional general four- The vehicle running performance in an emergency can be improved.

The description of the disclosed embodiments is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features presented herein.
