Description

锥形离合器及变速器 技术领域
本发明涉及车辆变速器领域，特别是涉及一种锥形离合器及变速器。
背景技术
近年来电动汽车因较少环境污染而得以快速发展。目前电动汽车大多由电机经单速减速器驱动。由于车速变化范围较大，要求电机工作范围很大，一般为0-14000rpm。受现有制造技术限制，高速电机成本较高，电机和电池的功率也较大，使得目前电动汽车的成本高于传统燃油车的成本。
如果采用多档变速器在低速时用大减速比来增加变速器输出扭矩，高速时用小减速比来降低电机转速，这既可以增加车辆动力加速性、又降低电机工作转速、从而降低电机成本。但对电动汽车制造商来说，多档变速器远比单速减速器复杂。常用多档变速器需要离合器、制动器或同步器来换档，这些传统的传动元件均要求复杂的致动器来控制。常用的离合器致动器有电液控制的液压油缸、电机控制的转鼓拨叉机构。
电液比例控制的液压油缸能精准控制离合器或制动器的扭矩，使换档时汽车驱动扭矩不致中断，换档平顺。但是这种液压式致动器需要液压泵、比例压力电磁阀、阀板和液压油缸来提供致动力，这些零部件成本高、功耗大，比较适合多个离合器可共用油泵的场合。对于只有一、二个离合器或制动器的电动汽车变速器，由于液压泵的成本和功耗无法分摊，这种液压式致动器就不太合适。电机控制的转鼓拨叉机构采用控制电机、转鼓、拨叉和同步器实现，其成本和功耗都低于液压式致动器，但它换档时有动力中断，换档平顺性不好。因此，如何降低电动汽车变速器换档机构的成本和能耗、保证换档平顺性是个亟待解决的技术问题。

上述说明仅是本发明技术方案的概述，为了能够更清楚了解本发明的技术手段，而可依照说明书的内容予以实施，并且为了让本发明的上述和其它目的、特征和优点能够更明显易懂，以下特举本发明的具体实施方式。
根据下文结合附图对本发明具体实施例的详细描述，本领域技术人员将会更加明了本发明的上述以及其他目的、优点和特征。
附图说明
后文将参照附图以示例性而非限制性的方式详细描述本发明的一些具体实施例。附图中相同的附图标记标示了相同或类似的部件或部分。本领域技术人员应该理解，这些附图未必是按比例绘制的。附图中：
图1是根据本发明一个实施例的锥形离合器的剖面图；
图2是根据本发明一个实施例的变速器的剖面图；
图3是图2中A处的局部放大图；
图4是图2中B-B处的剖视图；
图5是根据本发明一个实施例的变速器的原理示意图；

具体实施方式
下面将参照附图更详细地描述本公开的示例性实施例。虽然附图中显示了本公开的示例性实施例，然而应当理解，可以以各种形式实现本公开而不应被这里阐述的实施例所限制。相反，提供这些实施例是为了能够更透彻地理解本公开，并且能够将本公开的范围完整的传达给本领域的技术人员。
图1是根据本发明一个实施例的锥形离合器50的剖面图。如图1所示，一个实施例中，锥形离合器50包括中锥环53、内锥环52和外环61。中锥环53的内环面和外环面均为锥面。内锥环52设置于中锥环53的内部，内锥环52的外环面为与中锥环53的内环面相匹配的锥面。外环61具有与中锥环53的外环面配合的锥形环面，外环61可相对于内锥环52沿锥形环面的轴向移动，中锥环53和外环61分别用于与两个待结合件相连，锥形离合器50配置成在外环61受到促使其自身靠近中锥环53的推力时使得外环61与中锥环53之间以及中锥环53和内锥环52之间形成紧密接触的摩擦副，从而结合两个待结合件。例如，两个待结合件为轴和该轴上的齿轮，
本实施例通过中锥环53、内锥环52和外环61的设置，构建了一种具有两个锥形环面的摩擦副的离合器，通过控制外环61的轴向移动可以控制锥形离合器50的结合分离，从而达到结合或分离待结合件的目的。两组锥形环面的摩擦副的设置可以降低离合器的控制力，增强离合器的扭矩能力。本实施例的锥形离合器50特别适用于挡位较少、中小功率的变速器。
进一步地，通过合理选取中锥环53、内锥环52和外环61的锥角可以起到较好的放大离合器轴向力的作用。例如，设锥角为α，离合器轴向力为Fa,那么锥面上的正压力为Fn＝Fa/tan(α).如果锥角α取7°，则Fn＝8.14*Fa,相当于将离合器轴向力放大8倍多。对于一个半径为60mm的锥环，3kN轴向力就可产生300Nm的摩擦扭矩。
如图1所示，在一个实施例中，锥形离合器50还包括复位弹簧55，其一端固定设置，另一端与外环61连接。复位弹簧55的设置可以实现外环61的自动复位，也就是当外环61上的用于促使其靠近中锥环53的作用力消失后，复位弹簧55会促使外环61恢复到不结合中锥环53的原始状态。
本发明还提供了一种变速器。图2是根据本发明一个实施例的变速器的剖面图。如图2所示，一个实施例中，该变速器包括转轴、目标齿轮和上述任一实施例的锥形离合器50。目标齿轮套设于转轴上且可相对于转轴转动，锥形离合器50用于结合或分离转轴和目标齿轮，即，转轴和目标齿轮为前述的两个待结合件。这里的转轴可以是变速器中的变速器输入轴2、中间轴和变速器输出轴84等中的任一个或它们的组合，只要是有设置离合器需求的转轴都可以。
本实施例的变速器包括具有两个锥形环面的摩擦副的离合器，通过控制外环61的轴向移动可以控制锥形离合器50的结合分离，从而达到结合或分离待结合件的目的。两组锥形环面的摩擦副的设置可以降低离合器的控制力，增强离合器的扭矩能力。
一个实施例中，目标齿轮通过支撑轴承32设置于转轴处，使得目标齿轮可相对于转轴转动。
如图2所示，变速器还包括齿轮联结盘51，该齿轮联结盘51与目标齿轮固连，中锥环53与联结盘51经卡齿防相对转动连接，但可轴向相对滑动。内环52与外环61也经卡齿防相对转动连接，内环52一端与联结盘51抵接，防止离合器接合时内环52轴向移动。外环61套设于转轴处且二者形成防相 对转动连接，即在转轴和目标齿轮之间设置了锥形离合器50。如此设置，使得转轴与外环61同步转动，当锥形离合器50结合时，转轴能够通过该锥形离合器50同步带动目标齿轮转动。
一个实施例中，中锥环53靠近齿轮联结盘51的一侧设有沿其轴向伸出的卡齿，且齿轮联结盘51设有与卡齿配合的第一开槽。通过卡齿和第一开槽的设置防止中锥环53和齿轮联结盘51之间的相对转动。
一个实施例中，外环61与转轴通过花键22连接，从而防止二者的相对转动，同时外环61还能相对于转轴进行轴向移动。
进一步的一个实施例中，锥形离合器50包括复位弹簧55，此时，变速器还包括挡圈56，套设于转轴上。挡圈56的一侧与目标齿轮接触，另一侧抵接复位弹簧55。这里的挡圈56一方面用于限制目标齿轮的轴向位移，另外还为复位弹簧55的一端提供抵接面。通过复位弹簧55的设置使得锥形离合器50能够自动复位。
进一步的一个实施例中，如图2所示，变速器还包括卡簧23，套设于转轴上且位于外环61远离复位弹簧55的一侧，用于限制外环61的轴向位移。
图3是图2中A处的局部放大图。如2和图3所示，在一个实施例中，变速器还包括致动器。该致动器包括电机10、第二齿轮62、螺母63和螺杆64。电机10的输出轴上设有第一齿轮101，第一齿轮101可以是套设在电机10的输出轴上的齿轮，也可以是在电机10的输出轴上加工出的齿轮。第二齿轮62与第一齿轮101啮合。螺母63的外表面套设有第二齿轮62。螺杆64与螺母63的内壁形成螺旋副。螺杆64与变速器的壳体固定连接，使得电机10带动第二齿轮62和螺母63相对于螺杆64转动时螺母63产生轴向的位移，以产生直接或间接作用于外环61的推力。可选地，第一齿轮101和第二齿轮62的速比为10-20中的任一值，例如速比为10、15或20。若第一齿轮101和第二齿轮62的速比为15，电机10的输出扭矩为0.8Nm时就足以产生3kN以上的轴向力，使离合器结合。
当电机10输出扭矩后，通过齿轮副将动力传递给螺母63，由于螺杆64是固定的，此时螺母63相对于螺杆64转动并产生轴向的位移，从而推动锥形离合器50结合或脱开。当然，在其他实施例中，也可以将螺母63固定，电机10通过齿轮副驱动螺杆64，同样能够输出轴向的推动力。
本实施例的变速器还包括致动器，该致动器通过齿轮副和螺旋副进行传 动，由于齿轮副、螺旋副还有锥面摩擦副都能放大驱动力，因此可以采用一个小型的电机10就可以控制锥形离合器50的结合。例如，一个螺旋副可将10Nm的驱动扭矩转变为2500N的轴向力，一对简单的齿轮减速器可将电机10的输出扭矩放大十余倍。一个两百瓦的小型电机10，经过一个简单的齿轮减速器、一对螺旋副和两个摩擦锥面就可传输300Nm的扭矩，满足一般电动汽车驱动功率要求，使得一个工作扭矩不到1Nm的电机10足以驱动一个350Nm的锥形离合器50。
进一步地，由于螺母63和螺杆64之间的螺旋副自带自锁功能，在锥形离合器50结合后可以将其锁定在结合位置，此时电机10可以断电，不再耗费电能，即本实施例中的致动器相对于现有的液压式致动器节约了功耗，从而提高了变速器的效率。
进一步地，由于传统汽车变速器离合器一般为多片、湿式，其致动器为电液控制的液压油缸，这种致动器包括液压泵、液压油缸、比例压力电磁阀和阀板的成本。本实施例中的致动器的动力源只需要电机10，因此降低了致动器的制造成本。
在其他一些实施例中，致动器中的螺母63和螺杆64组成的螺旋副可以替换为滚珠丝杆(图中未示出)，进而减小摩擦阻力、节省控制功率。
进一步的一个实施例中，变速器还包括设置在致动器的螺母63和外环61之间的第一缓冲组件。第一缓冲组件包括依次抵接的径向定位圈661、第一止推轴承331和第一弹簧膜片541。径向定位圈661远离第一止推轴承331的一侧与螺母63抵接，用于限制第一止推轴承331的径向位移，第一弹簧膜片541远离第一止推轴承331的一侧与其自身所在侧的锥形离合器50的外环61抵接。第一弹簧膜片541设置于第一止推轴承331和外环61之间，起到缓冲螺母63冲击力的作用，避免离合器结合冲击。
一个实施例中，锥形离合器50、致动器和第一缓冲组件的数量均为多个且数量相同，且每一锥形离合器50与一个致动器和一个第一缓冲组件对应设置。即一个致动器只对应驱动一个锥形离合器，且二者之间设置一个第一缓冲组件。
如图2所示，在一个实施例中，锥形离合器的数量为2个，2个锥形离合器50的外环61分别位于螺母63的两侧，电机10用于输出正反转扭矩，以使得两个锥形离合器50共用一个致动器。
另一个实施例中，如图3所示，变速器还包括第一缓冲组件、第二缓冲组件和防松弹簧65。第一缓冲组件和第二缓冲组件分别位于螺母63的轴向的两侧。防松弹簧65穿设于螺母63的轴向通孔内，防松弹簧65的两端分别与第一缓冲组件和第二缓冲组件抵接。
一个实施例中，如图3所示，第一缓冲组件包括依次抵接的径向定位圈661、第一止推轴承331和第一弹簧膜片541。径向定位圈661远离第一止推轴承331的一侧与螺母63抵接且同时与防松弹簧65的一端相连，用于限制第一止推轴承331的径向位移，第一弹簧膜片541远离第一止推轴承331的一侧与其自身所在侧的锥形离合器50的外环61抵接。一个实施例中，径向定位圈661大致呈“Z”字形，其径向的两个平面分别与第一止推轴承331和螺母63搭接，从而径向定位第一止推轴承331。
一个实施例中，如图3所示，第二缓冲组件包括沿转轴的轴向依次抵接的第二止推轴承332、垫圈662、过渡圈67、第三止推轴承333和第二弹簧膜片542。第二止推轴承332远离垫圈662的一侧端面与防松弹簧65相连，第二弹簧膜片542远离过渡圈67的一侧与其自身同侧的锥形离合器50的外环61抵接。
放松弹簧的设置使得第二缓冲组件的各个件之间总是存在一定的预紧力，从而降低换挡噪音。
进一步的一个实施例中，如图3所示，螺母63远离第一缓冲组件的端面处设置有第二开槽651，第二开槽651还径向地贯穿螺母63的外环面。第二止推轴承332和垫圈662均套设于第二开槽651处且均与第二开槽651径向上的底面配合，从而约束第二止推轴承332和垫圈662的径向位移。
如图3所示，进一步的一个实施例中，过渡圈67轴向上的两侧分别设有第一凸台672和第二凸台673，第一凸台672与垫圈662的周面配合，以限制过渡圈67的径向位移。第二凸台673与第三止推轴承333的周面配合，以限制第三止推轴承333的径向位移。
本实施例中，是通过螺母63作为径向定位的依据，依次约束第二止推轴承332、垫圈662、过渡圈67和第三止推轴承333的径向位移。在其他实施例中，也可以采用其他径向定位方式，例如通过在螺杆64和过渡圈67上设置径向配合特征，利用螺杆64径向定位过渡圈67，过渡圈67再定位第二止推轴承332和第三止推轴承333。
图4是图2中B-B处的剖视图。如图2和图4所示，本实施例中，螺杆64包括多个连接臂641，每一连接臂641均与变速器的壳体固定连接。
进一步的一个实施例中，多个连接臂641沿螺杆64的周向均匀布置，且每一连接臂641均沿螺杆64的径向伸出。相应地，过渡圈67需要设置多个径向的通槽671，以便各个力臂穿出。
需要说明的是，由于装配的需要，通槽671还应贯穿过渡圈67轴向的一侧，以便过渡圈67和螺杆64之间的轴向装配，此时过渡圈67的轴向的一侧端面会有多个开槽，通过在该端面处设置垫圈662就可以遮盖这些开槽，方便止推轴承(图2的实施例中为第二止推轴承332)的抵接，使得力的传递更平稳。
图5是根据本发明一个实施例的变速器的原理示意图。图6是图5中的变速器的径向布置示意图。图7是根据本发明另一个实施例的变速器的原理示意图。参见图5和图7可见，本发明中既可以由一个致动器单独地控制一个锥形离合器50的动作(参见图7)，也可以由一个致动器同时给两个相邻的锥形离合器50提供制动力(参见图5)。例如，在一些实施例中，锥形离合器50、致动器和第一缓冲组件的数量均为2个，且每一锥形离合器50与一个致动器和一个第一缓冲组件对应设置，以实现一个致动器单独地控制一个锥形离合器50的动作。当两个锥形离合器50共用一个致动器时，换挡时会有短暂(数十毫秒)的动力中断，这种中断一般人感觉不到。当一个致动器单独控制一个锥形离合器50时，就可以做到无动力中断，换挡更加平顺。
一个实施例中，转轴包括变速器输入轴2和/或变速器输出轴84。也就是说，既可以只在变速器输入轴2(参见图5)或变速器输出轴84上设置锥形离合器50，也可以在变速器输入轴2和变速器输出轴84上分别都设置锥形离合器50(参见图7)，按需求进行设置即可，例如根据空间布置要求，不同转轴分别设置各自的锥形离合器50。当然在一些存在中间轴的变速器中，锥形离合器50也可以设置在中间轴上。变速器输入轴2和变速器输出轴84上设有至少两组变速齿轮，目标齿轮为变速器输入轴2的所有主动齿轮或变速器输出轴84的所有从动齿轮；或目标齿轮为变速器输入轴2上的至少一个主动齿轮以及变速器输出轴84上不与至少一个主动齿轮啮合的从动齿轮。
一个实施例中，如图2或图5所示，变速器输入轴2与原动机1的输出轴相连，例如通过花键12，变速器输入轴2的两端可以分别由第一轴承31 和第二轴承34支撑在前壳体41和后壳体42上。变速器输入轴2和变速器输出轴84上设有两组变速齿轮，变速器输出轴84上还设有与差速器9相连的输出齿轮83。具体地，变速器输入轴2上设有第一主动齿轮7和第二主动齿轮5，变速器输出轴84上设置有分别与第一主动齿轮7和第二主动齿轮5啮合的第一从动齿轮81和第二从动齿轮82。第一主动齿轮7和第一被动齿轮形成低速挡齿轮副，第二主动齿轮5和第二被动齿轮形成高速挡齿轮副。第一主动齿轮7和变速器输入轴2之间串联一个锥形离合器50，第二主动齿轮5和变速器输入轴2之间串联一个锥形离合器50，通过两个锥形离合器50的开合，变速器输入轴2的动力被传递至第一主动齿轮7或第二主动齿轮5。两个锥形离合器50之间设有一个共用的致动器。变速器输出轴84上还设有输出齿轮83，该输出齿轮83(相当于差速器9的驱动齿轮)与差速器9的差速器齿轮91啮合，以将动力通过差速器9和半轴传递至车轮。这种两档变速器特别适合做功率不是太大的电动汽车的变速器。
工作时，电机10在其工作转角中位时，螺母63也处于其行程中位，此时两侧的锥形离合器50的外环61均处于与中锥环53脱开的状态，整个变速器处于空挡。当电机10输出正向转矩，使得螺母63左移时，螺母63经径向定位圈661、第一止推轴承331和第一弹簧膜片541将轴向压力施加到左侧的锥形离合器50的外环61处，由于齿轮联结盘51阻止了内锥环52的轴向移动，外环61推动中锥环53压紧内锥环52，在中锥环53的内环面和外环61面处均产生摩擦扭矩，进而结合锥形离合器50，变速器输入轴2的动力传递至致动器左侧的第一主动齿轮7，使得变速器在低速挡运行。锥形离合器50结合后控制电机10断电，通过螺旋副自锁。当车辆需要切换为高速挡时，控制电机10输出反向扭矩，螺母63先退到中位，左侧的锥形离合器50在其自身的复位弹簧55作用下脱开。然后继续控制电机10输出反向扭矩，使得螺母63右移，结合右侧的锥形离合器50，将变速器输入轴2的动力传递至第二主动齿轮5，再进行输出。
至此，本领域技术人员应认识到，虽然本文已详尽示出和描述了本发明的示例性实施例，但是，在不脱离本发明精神和范围的情况下，仍可根据本发明公开的内容直接确定或推导出符合本发明原理的许多其他变型或修改。因此，本发明的范围应被理解和认定为覆盖了所有这些其他变型或修改。
