The vehicle body mounting flange 54 is abutted against the end face of the speed reducer casing 4b, and is attached to the speed reducer casing 4b by tightening a bolt 55 screwed into the end face.
軸受内輪52は、ハブ輪51の外径面に嵌合され、ボルト56によって結合一体化されている。上記軸受外輪53と軸受内輪52は、転動体57によって回転自在に支持されている。また、転動体57の外側にはシール部材58が設けられ、そのシール部材58は軸受外輪53の両端開口を閉塞している。
The bearing inner ring 52 is fitted to the outer diameter surface of the hub ring 51 and coupled and integrated by a bolt 56. The bearing outer ring 53 and the bearing inner ring 52 are rotatably supported by rolling elements 57. Further, a sealing member 58 is provided outside the rolling element 57, and the sealing member 58 closes both end openings of the bearing outer ring 53.
ハブ輪52のアウタの外径面には車輪取付フランジ59が設けられ、その車輪取付フランジ59に設けられた複数のボルト60によってブレーキロータと車輪のホイールが取付けられている。
A wheel mounting flange 59 is provided on the outer diameter surface of the outer of the hub wheel 52, and a brake rotor and a wheel wheel are mounted by a plurality of bolts 60 provided on the wheel mounting flange 59.
インホイールモータ駆動装置は上記の構造からなり、モータ1のステータ5に対する通電によってロータ6を回転駆動すると、そのロータ6の回転は減速機2の入力軸13に伝達されて、その入力軸13が回転する。
The in-wheel motor drive device has the above-described structure. When the rotor 6 is rotationally driven by energization of the stator 5 of the motor 1, the rotation of the rotor 6 is transmitted to the input shaft 13 of the speed reducer 2, and the input shaft 13 is Rotate.
また、入力軸13の回転により、偏心軸部19が偏心回転する。このとき、偏心軸部19には外歯車20が回転自在に支持され、その外歯車20の外周に形成された外歯21が減速機ケーシング4bに回り止めされた内歯車22の外ピン23に噛合しており、その外歯21の歯数は内歯車22の外ピン23の歯数より少ないため、偏心軸部19の偏心回転により外歯車20は偏心揺動運動し、入力軸13の回転方向と逆方向に自転する。その自転は内ピン27およびピンホルダ29を介して出力軸24に伝達され、出力軸24が減速回転する。
Also, the eccentric shaft portion 19 rotates eccentrically by the rotation of the input shaft 13. At this time, the external gear 20 is rotatably supported by the eccentric shaft portion 19, and the external teeth 21 formed on the outer periphery of the external gear 20 are attached to the external pin 23 of the internal gear 22 that is prevented from rotating around the speed reducer casing 4b. Since the number of teeth of the external teeth 21 is smaller than the number of teeth of the external pins 23 of the internal gear 22, the external gear 20 is eccentrically oscillated by the eccentric rotation of the eccentric shaft portion 19, and the input shaft 13 is rotated. Rotates in the opposite direction. The rotation is transmitted to the output shaft 24 via the inner pin 27 and the pin holder 29, and the output shaft 24 rotates at a reduced speed.
入力軸13の入力軸供給孔15a、15bから遠心力によって放出されると、潤滑油は、外ピンハウジング40の円筒部40aに当たり、傾斜案内壁43の内面形状に沿って、外ピン組込孔41内に組み込んだ軸受42に導かれ、軸受42の潤滑が良好に行われる。
When the lubricating oil is released from the input shaft supply holes 15a and 15b of the input shaft 13 by centrifugal force, the lubricating oil hits the cylindrical portion 40a of the outer pin housing 40 and follows the inner surface shape of the inclined guide wall 43 along the outer pin mounting hole. The bearing 42 is guided into the bearing 42 so that the bearing 42 is lubricated satisfactorily.
