Description

In-wheel motor drive unit
Technical field
The present invention relates to the in-wheel motor drive unit that a kind of independent rotation drives each driving wheel.
In addition, the present invention relates to a kind ofly the output shaft of motor and the wheel hub of wheel are connected coaxial in-wheel motor drive unit via retarder.
Background technique
In-wheel motor drive unit in the past for example is recorded in the spy and opens communique 2001-No. 32914.The in-wheel motor drive unit of putting down in writing in this communique has the motor that produces driving wheel, the rotational delay of motor is passed to the retarder of driving wheel and the wheel hub that rotation keeps driving wheel freely.
Adopt as retarder and to have the sun gear be located on the input shaft, be fixed on internal gear on the shell, be configured between sun gear and the internal gear and the planetary planetary gears that is connected with output shaft.In addition, two of planetary gears configurations in upright arrangement and improve reduction speed ratio.
Wheel hub is fixedlyed connected with the output shaft of retarder, is supported freely with respect to the shell rotation by hub bearing.Hub bearing is to have and inner ring that the outer diametric plane of wheel hub is chimeric, and the chimeric outer ring of the aperture surface of shell, be configured in a plurality of rolling elements between inner ring and the outer ring and keep the multiple row rolling bearing of the retainer of a plurality of rolling elements.
The Electric power car of in-wheel motor drive unit that adopts said structure be owing to need not guarantee to be used for the space of driver element in car body, increased the advantage that the useful space in the car and the inefficiency of not bringing because of transmission systems such as differential cross pins and weight increase so have.
In addition, in-wheel motor drive unit in the past for example is recorded in the spy and opens in 2005-No. 7914 communiques.The rotational delay of the in-wheel motor drive unit that this communique is put down in writing has the motor, the wheel hub that connects tire that produce driving wheel, make motor between motor and wheel hub rotor also passes to the retarder of tire.The parallel-axes gears mechanism that this retarder adopts the different a plurality of gears of the combination number of teeth to form.
Like this output shaft of motor and the wheel hub of wheel are connected coaxial in-wheel motor drive unit via retarder, owing to do not need pedal shaft or differential mechanism large-scale power transmission mechanisms such as (デ Off ア レ Application シ ヤ Le), so attracted attention from the lightweight and the compactness of wheel.But the in-wheel motor drive unit that is installed under the spring of wheel exists because of the increase of unsprung weight makes the difficult point of riding comfort variation, and the practicability that is unrealized.
The output torque of motor and motor capacity (weight) relation roughly in direct ratio, for obtain with the wheel of little motor capacity powered vehicle enough big output, high speed rotatingization is inevitable, need assemble retarder between the output shaft of motor and wheel hub.Therefore, it is big that the weight of the retarder of assembling becomes, and meaning then useless is so in in-wheel motor drive unit, seek the big retarder of compactness and reduction speed ratio.
In addition, as the Electric power car speed reducer, between the wheel hub of the output shaft of motor and wheel as retarder assembling plane table thermoconductivity meter (for example opening flat 5-No. 332401 communiques) with reference to the spy.During this communique is put down in writing, not that motor and retarder are installed in the in-wheel motor drive unit under the spring, and plane table thermoconductivity meter is provided with two-layer, will distribute to left and right wheels under the spring via live axle from the output of two-layer plane table thermoconductivity meter.
The in-wheel motor drive unit of said structure is owing to being configured in the bottom of suspension, so the problem that exists the riding stability that increase brought of so-called " unsprung weight " to reduce.This problem is along with the compactness of in recent years automobile integral body and more remarkable.
In addition, hub bearing is owing to configuration inner ring and outer ring between wheel hub and shell, so there is the big problem of footpath direction size.In addition, component number is many and assembling performance is not very good.
In addition, the parallel-axes gears mechanism that retarder adopted that each above-mentioned communique is put down in writing and the reduction speed ratio of planetary gears see that from viewpoints such as the strengths of gear teeth generally being set at the former is 1/2~1/3, and the latter is about 1/3~1/6.It is inadequate as the reduction speed ratio that is equipped on the retarder on the in-wheel motor drive unit, in order to obtain sufficient reduction speed ratio, retarder need be formed multi-layer structure.This causes the increase of the weight and the size of retarder, is inappropriate for the in-wheel motor drive unit that needs compactness.
In addition, plane table thermoconductivity meter and parallel-axes gears relatively can access big reduction speed ratio, but plane table thermoconductivity meter is made of the gear carrier of sun gear, gear ring, small gear and small gear, so component number is many, is difficult to compactness.
