- the above technical problem is solved by a torque transmission mechanism according to the present invention.
- the torque transmission mechanism includes a first rotating component and a second rotating component that can rotate relative to each other, and one of the first rotating component and the second rotating component is arranged radially inside the other.
- the torque transmission mechanism also includes a hydraulic device, and the torque transmission mechanism is configured to be able to transmit torque between the first rotating component and the second rotating component through the hydraulic device.
- the torque transmission between the two rotating components is achieved by the hydraulic device, so that torque vibration can be buffered by the hydraulic fluid.
- the hydraulic device can be one or more pistons
- the second rotating component includes one or more piston chambers for accommodating hydraulic fluid
- each piston is movably mounted in a corresponding piston chamber so as to be able to extend the second rotating component to abut the first rotating component.
- the piston can transmit torque by compressing the hydraulic fluid in the piston chamber, and the hydraulic fluid can buffer the torque vibration transmitted to the piston when transmitting the torque.
- the first rotating component and the second rotating component can have a non-torque transmission position relative to each other, in which the one or more pistons do not contact or can only contact the first rotating component in a manner that the circumferential component of the thrust resultant force is zero, and when the first rotating component and the second rotating component rotate relative to each other within a predetermined range and deviate from the non-torque transmission position, the first rotating component can abut at least a portion of the one or more pistons in a direction having a circumferential force component, so that the at least a portion of the pistons moves in a direction to retract the second rotating component to compress the hydraulic fluid in the corresponding piston chamber and can transmit torque between the first rotating component and the second rotating component through the at least a portion of the pistons.
- rigid torque transmission structures such as splines or teeth
- the hydraulic fluid when each piston is pushed by the first rotating member to compress the hydraulic fluid in the corresponding piston chamber, the hydraulic fluid can leak between the corresponding piston and the piston chamber in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the corresponding piston.
- the leaked hydraulic fluid can buffer the movement of the piston by moving in the opposite direction of the piston, thereby further reducing vibration.
- the one or more piston chambers may include a plurality of piston chambers spaced apart along the circumferential direction, and the second rotating component may include an annular liquid storage chamber, which is connected to each piston chamber so as to supply hydraulic fluid to each piston chamber.
- hydraulic fluid can be supplied to a plurality of piston chambers simultaneously by a supply channel.
- each piston chamber can be connected to the liquid storage chamber through a corresponding connecting hole, so that the hydraulic fluid in each piston chamber can generate an instantaneous high pressure relative to the hydraulic fluid in the liquid storage chamber when compressed by the corresponding piston.
- the connecting hole can generate a certain buffering effect between the piston chamber and the liquid storage chamber by shrinking the inner diameter of the flow channel.
- each piston cavity can be located radially between the liquid storage cavity and the first rotating component. That is, the radial position relationship between the liquid storage cavity and the first rotating component relative to the piston cavity is opposite.
- the liquid storage cavity is thus arranged away from the first rotating component, thereby facilitating the introduction of hydraulic fluid.

- the thrust of the guide profile on the piston is in the radial direction without a circumferential component, so that no significant torque can be transmitted between the two rotating components.
- the end of the piston slides along the guide profile to a position with a smaller depth, thereby pushing the piston to retract the second rotating component, and at the same time, when the piston abuts at the non-maximum depth position of the guide profile, the thrust of the guide profile on the piston is no longer parallel to the radial direction and generates a circumferential component, so that torque can be transmitted between the two rotating components. Since the transmitted torque depends on the position of the piston in the piston chamber, the hydraulic fluid can dampen torque vibrations.
- At least a portion of the one or more guide profiles may have a concave arc profile, and/or, at least a portion of the one or more pistons may have a protruding arc profile at the end thereof for abutting the corresponding guide profile.
- the arc profile facilitates guiding the piston to slide along the guide profile and can reduce stress concentration.

- the first rotating component may include one or more A limiting structure
- the second rotating component may include one or more second limiting structures, when the first rotating component and the second rotating component rotate relative to each other to the limit position of the predetermined rotation range, at least a part of the one or more first limiting structures abuts against the corresponding second limiting structures along the circumferential direction, thereby preventing the first rotating component and the second rotating component from rotating beyond the predetermined rotation range.

- the first rotating component will not be subjected to the circumferential thrust of the piston in the non-torque transmission position, and when the first rotating component rotates in a certain direction to push a group of pistons, the other group of pistons will be constrained by the piston chamber in the maximum extension position and separated from the first rotating component.

- the torque transmission mechanism includes an outer rotating member 10 and an inner rotating member 20.
- the outer rotating member 10 is a substantially annular member
- the inner rotating member 20 is a substantially disc-shaped or annular member.
- the inner rotating member 20 is coaxially arranged radially inside the outer rotating member 10.
- the outer rotating member 10 and the inner rotating member 20 are arranged radially inside the outer rotating member 10.
- the inner rotating part 20 can rotate relative to each other around a common central axis.
- the radial support and relative rotation between the outer rotating part 10 and the inner rotating part 20 can be achieved, for example, by bearings or rolling bodies 40 directly mounted therebetween (i.e. the outer and inner rings of the bearings are integrally formed with the rotating part).
- the torque transmission mechanism further includes one or more pistons 30, and the inner rotating component 20 is formed with one or more piston chambers 21.
- Each piston 30 is installed in a corresponding piston chamber 21, and can be guided by the side wall of the piston chamber 21 and move along the extension direction of the piston chamber 21.
- these pistons 30 can be distributed at intervals along the circumference (preferably evenly distributed).
- these pistons 30 preferably have substantially the same shape and size, and these piston chambers 21 also preferably have substantially the same shape and size.
- each piston chamber 21 extends approximately radially and penetrates to the outer circumferential surface of the inner rotating component 20, so that the piston 30 installed in the piston chamber 21 can move approximately radially and partially extend out of the piston chamber 21 to abut against the inner circumferential surface of the outer rotating component 10.
- the outer rotating part 10 includes one or more guide profiles 11 facing the inner rotating part 20 (i.e., facing the radial inside in this embodiment). These guide profiles 11 may be surfaces formed integrally with the outer rotating part 10 or surfaces of additional components fixed to the outer rotating part 10. Each piston 30 corresponds to a corresponding guide profile 11 in the circumferential direction. The end of each piston 30 extending out of the piston cavity 21 may abut against the corresponding guide profile 11. Each guide profile 11 is concave in the radial direction facing away from the inner rotating part 20 (i.e., facing the radial outside in this embodiment).
- Each guide profile 11 has a maximum depth position in the circumferential middle, and the concave depth (radial depth) of the guide profile 11 gradually decreases from the corresponding maximum depth position toward both ends in the circumferential direction.
- a guide profile 11 may, for example, have an arcuate profile, a sharp-angled triangular profile, or a triangular profile with rounded vertices.
- the profile shape of the guide profile 11 may be symmetrical about the maximum depth position.
- Each piston chamber 21 is filled with hydraulic fluid.
- the hydraulic pressure generated by the hydraulic fluid causes the piston 30 to extend out of the inner rotating member 20 and abut against the outer rotating member 10.
- the piston 30 is at its maximum extension position, and the thrust between the piston 30 and the guide profile 11 (excluding the friction force on the contact surface) is substantially along the radial direction. direction without any circumferential (or tangential) component.
- the outer rotating component 10 and the inner rotating component 20 have a non-torque transmission position relative to each other.
- the non-torque transmission position is a relative position where no torque can be transmitted or no significant torque (i.e., torque greater than a predetermined amount) can be transmitted between the outer rotating component 10 and the inner rotating component 20, and can also be called a neutral position.
- the non-torque transmission position can also be regarded as the zero-degree point position of the relative rotation angle between the two rotating components.
- the guide profile 11 may have a concave arc profile.
- the end of the piston 30 for abutting the corresponding guide profile 11 may also have a protruding arc profile.
- the arc profile facilitates guiding the piston to slide along the guide profile and can reduce stress concentration.
- the end of the piston 30 for abutting the corresponding guide profile 11 may be an integrally formed spherical end, or the end may be a rotatably mounted pulley so that the end of the piston 30 can roll along the guide profile 11.
- FIG5 shows an operation curve diagram of a torque transmission mechanism according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- the horizontal axes of the two curve diagrams in FIG5 represent the rotational position, wherein the middle vertical line corresponds to the non-torque transmission position; the vertical axis of the upper figure represents the recessed depth of the guide profile where the piston 30 abuts, and the vertical axis of the lower figure represents the pressure angle where the piston 30 abuts (a pressure angle of 0 degrees indicates that the pressure acts completely radially).
- this torque transmission mechanism has two working stages within the rotational range. Near the non-torque transmission position, the torque transmission mechanism is in a decoupling stage.
- the decoupling stage the angle at which the two rotating components deviate from the non-torque transmission position is small, the pressure angle is small, and the torque transmitted between the two components through the piston 30 is very small and can be ignored.
- the torque transmission stage the angle of deviation of the two rotating parts from the non-torque transmission position is large, and the pressure angle is large, so that a large torque can be transmitted between the two parts through the piston 30.
- the vibration of the torque can still be buffered by the hydraulic fluid.
- an elastic member 50 (such as a coil spring or other elastic member) may be additionally installed in one or more piston chambers 21.
- the elastic member 50 elastically abuts between the corresponding piston 30 and the end of the piston chamber 21 facing away from the outer rotating component 10 in the radial direction.
- the elastic force generated by the elastic member 50 can be used as a supplement to the liquid pressure of the hydraulic fluid.
- each piston 30 may be in non-sealed contact with the side wall of the corresponding piston chamber 21. Therefore, when the piston 30 is pushed by the outer rotating component 10 to compress the hydraulic fluid in the corresponding piston chamber 21, the hydraulic fluid may leak between the corresponding piston 30 and the piston chamber 21 in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the corresponding piston 30. The leaked hydraulic fluid may buffer the movement of the piston 30 by moving in the opposite direction of the piston 30, thereby further reducing vibration.
- the inner rotating component 20 when the inner rotating component 20 includes a plurality of piston chambers 21 spaced apart along the circumferential direction, the inner rotating component 20 may also preferably include an annular liquid storage chamber 22.
- the liquid storage chamber 22 is in communication with each piston chamber 21, so that hydraulic fluid can be supplied to each piston chamber 21.
- hydraulic fluid can be supplied to multiple piston chambers 21 simultaneously by using one supply channel.
- each piston chamber 21 can be in communication with the liquid storage chamber 22 through a corresponding communication hole 23.
- the communication hole 23 can produce a certain buffering effect between the corresponding piston chamber 21 and the liquid storage chamber 22 by shrinking the inner diameter of the flow channel, so that the hydraulic fluid in the piston chamber 21 can generate an instantaneous high pressure relative to the hydraulic fluid in the liquid storage chamber 22 when compressed by the corresponding piston 30. Therefore, when the piston 30 vibrates and causes the liquid pressure in the piston chamber 21 to suddenly increase, the conduction of the liquid pressure to the liquid storage chamber 22 will be hindered by the communication hole 23, thereby controlling the distribution range of the transient high pressure in the entire inner rotating component 20, thereby reducing the impact on the structural strength of the inner rotating component 20.
- the reservoir chamber 22 may be located radially inward of all the piston chambers 21, so that the piston chamber 21 is radially located between the reservoir chamber 22 and the outer rotating component 10.
- the reservoir chamber 22 is thus arranged away from the outer rotating component 10, thereby facilitating the introduction of hydraulic fluid.
- the hydraulic fluid may be introduced into the reservoir chamber 22 through the one-way valve 60 located radially inward of the reservoir chamber 22, and further flow to each piston chamber 21 through the reservoir chamber 22.
- the inner rotating component 20 may not form the liquid storage chamber 22, and this solution is shown in the third embodiment of Figures 3a and 3b.
- the multiple piston chambers 21 of the inner rotating component 20 are independent of each other, and each piston chamber 21 can be connected to the inner circumference of the inner rotating component 20 through a separate orifice, and each can be equipped with a corresponding one-way valve 60 at the orifice to control the flow of hydraulic fluid into the piston chamber 21.
- both circumferential ends of the guide profile 11 extend directly to the inner circumferential surface of the inner rotating component 20.
- the contactable range between the guide profile 11 and the corresponding piston 30 defines the predetermined rotation range between the two rotating components.
- the magnitude of the torque transmitted between the two rotating components depends on the relative positions of the two rotating components within the predetermined rotation range. When the transmitted torque is too large so that the two rotating components exceed the predetermined rotation range, the piston 30 will break away from the corresponding guide profile 11 and abut against the inner circumferential surface of the inner rotating component 20 between the adjacent guide profiles 11.
- the pressure angle of the contact surface is zero, the pressure has no circumferential component, and only frictional force along the circumferential direction may exist between the two rotating components. This makes the torque transmission between the two rotating components ineffective, thereby limiting the maximum transmittable torque.
- a limiting structure is provided to prevent the two rotating parts from rotating beyond a predetermined rotation range.
- the outer rotating part 10 includes one or more first limiting structures 12, and the inner rotating part 20 includes one or more second limiting structures 24.
- the outer rotating part 10 and the inner rotating part 20 rotate relative to each other to the limit position of the predetermined rotation range, at least a part of the first limiting structures 12 abuts against the corresponding second limiting structures 24 in the circumferential direction, thereby preventing the two rotating parts from further rotating beyond the predetermined rotation range.
- the two rotating parts can also transmit a larger torque by abutting against the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 24 in the circumferential direction.
- the positions of these limiting structures in the axial direction can overlap or partially overlap with the piston 30 and/or the guide profile 11, or can not overlap with the piston 30 and/or the guide profile 11.
- the limiting structure same as the second embodiment is also shown.
- the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 24 may be step surfaces formed on the corresponding rotating parts and facing each other basically in the circumferential direction (as shown in the figure); or, the first limiting structure 12 may be a step surface formed on the outer rotating part 10, and the second limiting structure may be acted as a piston 30 installed on the inner rotating part 20 (not shown).
- FIG. 4a and FIG. 4b show a torque transmission mechanism according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
- each piston 30 can only abut the outer rotating component 10 in a unidirectional circumferential direction. Therefore, the torque transmission mechanism of the fourth embodiment includes a plurality of pistons 30 spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and these pistons 30 are composed of at least one first piston 30a and at least one second piston 30b. Among them, each first piston 30a and each second piston 30b are respectively installed in a corresponding piston cavity 21.
- Each piston cavity 21 extends approximately in the circumferential direction, and can guide the piston 30 (first piston 30a and/or second piston 30b) therein to move in the circumferential direction through its side wall.
- the end of each piston cavity 21 is circumferentially connected, so that the end of the piston 30 installed therein can partially extend out of the piston cavity 21 and abut the outer rotating component 10.
- the surface of the outer rotating component 10 abutted by the piston 30 can be a radial surface of a structure formed or fixed on the outer rotating component 10, such as a radially extending step surface or baffle.
- Each first piston 30a can abut against the outer rotating component 10 in a first rotational direction along the circumferential direction
- each second piston 30b can abut against the outer rotating component 10 in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction.
- the two rotating components rotate in a certain rotational direction
- one of the first piston 30a and the second piston 30b is pushed to move in a direction of retracting into the corresponding piston chamber 21.
- the two rotating components can transmit torque and damp vibration in different rotational directions respectively through two groups of circumferentially moving pistons in opposite directions.
- the circumferential component of the thrust resultant force generated by all the pistons 30 (including the first piston 30a and the second piston 30b) on the outer rotating part 10 is zero.
- This can include three cases: the first case, in the non-torque transmission position, the piston 30 does not contact the outer rotating part 10; the second case, in the non-torque transmission position, the piston 30 contacts the outer rotating part 10 without thrust; the third case, in the non-torque transmission position, at least a part of the pistons 30 can contact the outer rotating part 10, wherein the thrust generated by a single piston 30 on the outer rotating part 10 is not zero, but the circumferential component of the thrust resultant force generated by all the pistons 30 on the outer rotating part 10 is zero (in this embodiment, the thrust generated by the piston 30 on the outer rotating part 10 acts in the circumferential direction, so the circumferential component of zero means that the thrust resultant force is also zero).
- the outer rotating part 10 will not be subjected to the circumferential thrust of the piston 30 in the non-torque transmission position.
- the group of pistons contacts the outer rotating member 10 and moves in the direction of retracting the inner rotating member 20, thereby moving in the corresponding direction.
- the circumferential thrust in the direction toward the outer rotating member 10 increases while the circumferential thrust in the opposite direction decreases or remains unchanged, so that the resultant force of the circumferential thrusts acting on all the pistons 30 between the outer rotating member 10 increases in the corresponding direction with the rotation position.
- each piston 30 may have a maximum extension position defined by the corresponding piston cavity 21.
- the other group of pistons (the second piston 30b or the first piston 30a) of all the pistons 30 that are not pushed by the outer rotating component 10 will be constrained by the corresponding piston cavity 21 at the maximum extension position and separated from the outer rotating component 10.
- each piston 30 may include a plug body 31 and a plug head 32 divided along the extension direction of the piston cavity 21, wherein the outer diameter of the plug body 31 is larger than the outer diameter of the plug head 32.
- the inner diameter of the end opening of the piston cavity 21 is smaller than the inner diameter of the piston cavity 21 and the inner diameter of the plug body 31, but larger than the outer diameter of the plug head 32, so that the plug body 31 cannot extend out of the piston cavity 21, but the plug head 32 can extend out of the piston cavity 21.
- the plug body 31 will abut against the end of the corresponding piston cavity 21 to achieve position limiting.
- the piston 30 does not contact the outer rotating part 10 in the non-torque transmission position or can only contact the outer rotating part 10 without thrust, the piston 30 is limited to the maximum extension position by the corresponding piston cavity 21 in the non-torque transmission position, and any angle of deviation of the outer rotating part 10 from the non-torque transmission position in the direction away from a certain group of pistons 30 will cause the piston 30 to separate from the group of pistons 30; if the piston 30 contacts the outer rotating part 10 with a non-zero thrust in the non-torque transmission position, the piston 30 does not reach the maximum extension position in the non-torque transmission position.
- the group of pistons 30 can initially continue to extend from the corresponding piston cavity 21 as the outer rotating part 10 rotates, until the outer rotating part 10 rotates to a predetermined angle, the group of pistons 30 reaches the maximum extension position limited by the corresponding piston cavity 21 and begins to separate from the outer rotating part 10 that continues to rotate.
- the outer rotating component 10 may include one or more protrusions 13 protruding toward the inner rotating component 20 (towards the radial inside), and the inner rotating component 21 may include one or more recesses 25 recessed away from the outer rotating component 10 (towards the radial inside).
- Each protrusion 13 is inserted into the corresponding recess 25 in the radial direction, and each piston 30 extends out of the inner rotating component 20 from the side wall of the corresponding recess 25 and can abut against the side wall of the corresponding protrusion 13.
- the first piston 30a and the second piston 30b are preferably distributed alternately in the circumferential direction.
- any pair of first pistons 30a and second pistons 30b that are adjacent in the circumferential direction and extend away from each other in the direction of extension constitute a piston pair, and each piston pair
- the pistons 30 are installed in the same piston cavity 21 extending in the circumferential direction and extend from opposite ends of the piston cavity 21 respectively.
- the piston pair in the same piston cavity 21 can share an elastic member 50, and the elastic member 50 elastically abuts between the two pistons of the piston pair.
- each piston 30 can also be installed in an independent piston cavity 21. In this case, the corresponding elastic member 50 can elastically abut between the piston 30 and the end of the piston cavity 21.
- the surfaces of the two rotating components will directly abut against each other.
- the protrusion 13 corresponding to the rotation direction will directly abut against the corresponding recessed portion 25, so that the torque can be directly transmitted between the two rotating components and the two rotating components are prevented from further rotating beyond the predetermined rotation range.
- the inner rotating component 20 may also be formed with a liquid storage chamber 22 and/or a communication hole 23 similar to that of the first embodiment, and its structure and function are similar to those of the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail herein.
- each piston 30 may also preferably be in non-sealed contact with the side wall of the corresponding piston chamber 21.
- the piston 30 can be installed in the piston cavity formed in the outer rotating component 10 so as to abut the inner rotating component 20. This allows the positional relationship of various structures in a matching relationship on the two rotating components to be exchanged between the two rotating components.
- the rotating component used to abut the piston 30 can be collectively referred to as the first rotating component
- the rotating component used to install the piston 30 can be collectively referred to as the second rotating component.
- the technical features described in any embodiment can also be applied to other embodiments.
- the first rotating component and the second rotating component transmit torque through a hydraulic device, so the torque vibration can be buffered by the hydraulic fluid, thereby reducing noise.
- the piston does not contact the first rotating component or can only contact the first rotating component in a way that the circumferential component of the thrust resultant force is zero.
- the contact state in which the circumferential component of the thrust resultant force is zero includes three contact states: the first is that there is no thrust between all pistons and the first rotating component (but static friction may exist); the second is that there is thrust between at least a part of the pistons and the first rotating component, but the thrust of each piston does not have a circumferential component (the circumferential component is zero) (first embodiment); the third is There is a thrust with a circumferential component between at least a portion of the pistons and the first rotating part, but the circumferential component of the thrust resultant between all the pistons and the first rotating part is zero, that is, the circumferential thrusts of different pistons acting on the first rotating part cancel each other out (the fourth embodiment).
- the first rotating part and the second rotating part rotate relative to each other within a predetermined range and deviate from the non-torque transmission position, the first rotating part can abut at least a portion of the piston in the direction with the circumferential force component, thereby pushing at least a portion of the piston to retract the second rotating part to compress the hydraulic fluid in the corresponding piston chamber, and transmit torque between the first rotating part and the second rotating part through at least a portion of the piston.
- This torque transmission method has the torque transmission effect previously described with reference to Figure 5. Due to the buffering effect of the hydraulic fluid, the vibration and noise of the rotating part can be significantly reduced. This is particularly suitable for (but not limited to) replacing conventional splines or gear transmission mechanisms in the transmission of a vehicle, so as to reduce noise, especially in the state of parking charging or small throttle acceleration.
- the effect of the torque transmission mechanism according to the present invention can be verified by simulation experiments.
- the inventors used a multi-body dynamic simulation method to verify the damping effect of such a torque transmission mechanism.
- the impact force in the charging mode is significantly reduced. This proves that the torque transmission mechanism according to the present invention can advantageously buffer torque shock and vibration, and can also reduce the maximum driving torque in the traction start mode.
