Description

轮毂电机驱动系统及机动车In-wheel motor drive system and motor vehicle 技术领域technical field

背景技术Background technique
在现有技术中,例如电动汽车等的新能源机动车仍然主要使用中央驱动电机、离合器、变速器和差速器来组成用于传递驱动车轮的扭矩的驱动系统,这导致了扭矩的传递路径较长,从而使得驱动系统的动力损耗高且效率低,而这严重影响了新能源机动车的行驶距离。因此,技术人员开发出扭矩传递路径较短的轮毂电机驱动系统来克服上述问题。In the prior art, new energy motor vehicles such as electric vehicles still mainly use a central drive motor, clutch, transmission and differential to form a drive system for transmitting torque that drives the wheels, which results in a relatively narrow transmission path for torque. Long, so that the power loss of the drive system is high and the efficiency is low, which seriously affects the driving distance of new energy vehicles. Therefore, technicians have developed an in-wheel motor drive system with a shorter torque transmission path to overcome the above-mentioned problems.
但是,现有的轮毂电机驱动系统一般将驱动电机、变速器以及车轮的制动系统和车轮轴承都集成在一起,一旦定型之后只能组装特定的车轮轴承和制动系统,适配其它车轮轴承和制动系统则需要改变整个轮毂电机驱动系统的结构。因此,现有的轮毂电机驱动系统的通用性较差。However, the existing in-wheel motor drive system generally integrates the drive motor, transmission, and the braking system and wheel bearing of the wheel. The braking system needs to change the structure of the entire hub motor drive system. Therefore, the versatility of the existing in-wheel motor drive system is poor.

在本实施例中,如图1和图2所示,制动系统4可以为浮钳盘式制动系统。该制动系统包括制动钳机构(包括制动钳、制动缸等)和制动盘41。利用转向节1的任意一组第三安装孔11h3,该制动系统4的制动钳机构可拆卸地安装于安装部11。该制动系统4的制动盘41与内圈31固定,从而与输出轴24相对固定,制动盘41与输出轴24同轴布置。这样,通过制动缸内活塞的运动,能够带动浮动的制动钳夹紧制动盘41,进而产生阻止车轮WH转动的摩擦力矩,实现制动。In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the brake system 4 may be a floating caliper disc brake system. The braking system includes a brake caliper mechanism (including a brake caliper, a brake cylinder, etc.) and a brake disc 41 . Using any set of third mounting holes 11h3 of the steering knuckle 1 , the brake caliper mechanism of the braking system 4 is detachably mounted on the mounting portion 11 . The brake disc 41 of the brake system 4 is fixed to the inner ring 31 so as to be relatively fixed to the output shaft 24 , and the brake disc 41 is arranged coaxially with the output shaft 24 . In this way, through the movement of the piston in the brake cylinder, the floating brake caliper can be driven to clamp the brake disc 41, thereby generating a frictional moment that prevents the rotation of the wheel WH, thereby achieving braking.
本申请还提供了包括上述轮毂电机驱动系统DR的机动车,该机动车尤其可以是具有两个以上车轮的电动车辆。在根据本申请的机动车的一个可选的示例中,机动车包括四个车轮WH,轮毂电机驱动系统DR安装到车轮WH。如图1和图2所示,轮毂电机驱动系统DR的车轮轴承3、制动系统4和转向节1的安装部11位于车轮WH的内部,转向节1的弯折部12的一部分延伸到车轮WH的外部。另外,驱动机构2可以位于车轮WH的外部。为了使得扭矩从驱动机构2传递到车轮WH,内圈31与车轮WH的轮毂HU固定。这样,来自驱动机构2的电机的扭矩的传递路径如下:转子212→转子支架213→电机轴214→太阳轮221→行星轮222→行星轮架223→输出轴24→内圈31→车轮WH。The present application also provides a motor vehicle including the above-mentioned in-wheel motor drive system DR, and the motor vehicle may especially be an electric vehicle with more than two wheels. In an optional example of a motor vehicle according to the present application, the motor vehicle comprises four wheels WH to which the in-wheel motor drive system DR is mounted. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the wheel bearing 3 of the in-wheel motor drive system DR, the brake system 4 and the installation part 11 of the steering knuckle 1 are located inside the wheel WH, and a part of the bending part 12 of the steering knuckle 1 extends to the wheel. Exterior of WH. In addition, the drive mechanism 2 may be located outside the wheel WH. In order to transmit torque from the drive mechanism 2 to the wheel WH, the inner ring 31 is fixed to the hub HU of the wheel WH. In this way, the torque transmission path from the motor of the drive mechanism 2 is as follows: rotor 212→rotor bracket 213→motor shaft 214→sun gear 221→planetary gear 222→planetary carrier 223→output shaft 24→inner ring 31→wheel WH.
本申请不限于上述实施例,本领域技术人员在本申请的教导下可以对本申请的上述实施例做出各种变型,而不脱离本申请的范围。另外,还进行以下说明。The present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications to the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application under the teaching of the present application without departing from the scope of the present application. In addition, the following description is also given.
i.通过采用上述构造,一方面,以转向节1为基准,制动系统4和车轮轴承3位于驱动机构2所在侧的相反侧,制动系统4和车轮轴承3可拆卸地安装于转向节1,车轮轴承3的内圈31与驱动系统的输出轴24通过花键传动联接,以上结构都有利于本申请的轮毂电机驱动系统DR的转向节1等部件与不同的制动系统4和车轮轴承3适配和拆装,由此,本申请的轮毂电机驱动系统DR的通用性获得了改善。可以理解,由于电机组件21和行星轮减速机构22都安装于壳体组件23内,行星轮减速机构22可以位于电机组件21的转子的径向内侧,且行星轮减速机构22和电机组件21的定子211(甚至是转子212)可以在轴向A上至少部分地重叠,从而能够减小轮毂电机驱动系统DR的轴向长度。i. By adopting the above structure, on the one hand, with the steering knuckle 1 as a reference, the braking system 4 and the wheel bearing 3 are located on the side opposite to the side where the driving mechanism 2 is located, and the braking system 4 and the wheel bearing 3 are detachably installed on the steering knuckle 1. The inner ring 31 of the wheel bearing 3 is connected to the output shaft 24 of the drive system through spline transmission. The above structure is beneficial to the steering knuckle 1 and other components of the in-wheel motor drive system DR of the present application and different brake systems 4 and wheels. The bearing 3 is fitted and disassembled, thereby improving the versatility of the in-wheel motor drive system DR of the present application. It can be understood that since the motor assembly 21 and the planetary gear reduction mechanism 22 are installed in the housing assembly 23, the planetary gear reduction mechanism 22 can be located on the radial inner side of the rotor of the motor assembly 21, and the planetary gear reduction mechanism 22 and the motor assembly 21 The stator 211 (or even the rotor 212 ) can at least partially overlap in the axial direction A, so that the axial length of the in-wheel motor drive system DR can be reduced.
另一方面,能够使得扭矩从该轮毂电机驱动系统DR传递到输出轴24以驱动轮毂HU,从而最终驱动车轮WH。这样,电机不经由传统的位于车轮WH外的变速器和驱动轴而直接驱动机动车的车轮WH,因此相比现有技术的机动车的驱动系统缩短了扭矩传递路径,使得提高了驱动系统的效率并且减小了传递过程中的能量损耗。而且,驱动机构2、车轮轴承3和制动盘41同轴布置,能够节省所占据的空间,并且轮毂电机驱动系统DR与车轮WH整合在一起,这便于机动车的结构布局并且减小在机动车处于颠簸和转向情况下空间干涉的影响。On the other hand, it is possible to transmit torque from the in-wheel motor drive system DR to the output shaft 24 to drive the wheel hub HU, and ultimately drive the wheels WH. In this way, the motor directly drives the wheel WH of the motor vehicle without the conventional transmission and drive shaft outside the wheel WH, thus shortening the torque transmission path compared with the drive system of the prior art motor vehicle, so that the efficiency of the drive system is improved And the energy loss in the transmission process is reduced. Moreover, the drive mechanism 2, the wheel bearing 3 and the brake disc 41 are coaxially arranged, which can save the occupied space, and the in-wheel motor drive system DR is integrated with the wheel WH, which is convenient for the structural layout of the motor vehicle and reduces the load on the machine. The impact of space interference when the train is in bumps and turns.
ii.可以理解,在第一壳体231与电机轴214之间,在转向节1和输出轴24之间,以及在车轮轴承3的内圈31和外圈32之间都可以根据需要设置密封组件。ii. It can be understood that seals can be provided between the first housing 231 and the motor shaft 214, between the steering knuckle 1 and the output shaft 24, and between the inner ring 31 and the outer ring 32 of the wheel bearing 3 as required components.
iii.在上述实施例中,行星轮减速机构22的太阳轮221与电机轴214形成 为一体,有利于简化结构,降低成本。在其它的可选方案中,太阳轮221与电机轴214可以是分开制造的部件,然后通过过盈、形状配合、键连接或者花键接合等方式实现传动联接。iii. In the above embodiment, the sun gear 221 of the planetary gear reduction mechanism 22 is integrated with the motor shaft 214, which is beneficial to simplify the structure and reduce the cost. In other optional solutions, the sun gear 221 and the motor shaft 214 can be manufactured separately, and then the transmission connection is realized through interference, form fit, key connection or spline engagement.
