In-wheel driving device
View Patent ↗An in-wheel driving device disposed in a car wheel includes a motor including a stator and a rotor; a transmission unit disposed adjacent to the motor, having an opening therein, and configured to receive rotation power from the rotor and rotate the car wheel; and a rigid shaft inserted into the opening to fix the motor to a car body.
1. An in-wheel driving device mounted in a car wheel and comprising:
a motor comprising:
a housing;
a stator; and
a rotor;
a transmission unit disposed adjacent to the motor, having an opening therein, and configured to receive rotation power from the rotor and rotate the car wheel; and
a rigid shaft inserted into the opening to fix the motor to a car body,
wherein the rigid shaft is connected to the housing,
wherein the housing comprises:
a housing body unit extending from the rigid shaft and having a repair hole in an outer surface thereof,
wherein the stator is fixed on an inner surface of the housing body unit and the rotor is disposed in the housing body unit at a predetermined distance from the stator; and
a housing cover detachably provided to the housing body unit to open or close the repair hole.
2. The in-wheel driving device of claim 1 , wherein the rigid shaft penetrates through the rotor.
3. The in-wheel driving device of claim 1 , further comprising a bearing disposed between the rigid shaft and the rotor.
4. The in-wheel driving device of claim 1 , wherein the housing is integrally formed with the rigid shaft by extending from the rigid shaft.
5. The in-wheel driving device of claim 1 , wherein the rigid shaft has a hollow.
6. The in-wheel driving device of claim 1 , wherein the car wheel comprises:
a wheel body unit comprising:
an inner space where the transmission unit and the rigid shaft are disposed; and
an outer surface whereon a tire is provided; and
an outer cover detachably provided to the wheel body unit to open or close a first side of the wheel body unit.
7. The in-wheel driving device of claim 6 , wherein the wheel body unit further comprises an inner cover detachably provided to the wheel body unit to open or close a second side opposite to the first side.
8. The in-wheel driving device of claim 1 , further comprising a spindle disposed inside the car wheel,
wherein the spindle is inserted into the rigid shaft.
9. The in-wheel driving device of claim 8 , wherein a part of the transmission unit is fixed to the spindle.
10. The in-wheel driving device of claim 1 , wherein the transmission unit comprises:
a rotating unit connected to the rotor to transmit rotation power of the rotor; and
a rotation transmitting unit configured to rotate by contacting the rotating unit, and transmit rotation power to the car wheel by reducing a rotation speed of the rotating unit.
11. The in-wheel driving device of claim 1 , further comprising a brake unit connected to the transmission unit to adjust a rotation speed of the transmission unit.
12. The in-wheel driving device of claim 11 , wherein the brake unit comprises:
a disk unit configured to rotate by being connected to a part of the transmission unit; and
a pad unit provided in a car and configured to reduce a rotation speed of the disk unit by contacting the disk unit.
13. The in-wheel driving device of claim 1 , wherein the transmission unit comprises:
a rotating unit configured to rotate by being connected to a part of the transmission unit; and
a brake unit provided in a car and configured to reduce a rotation speed of the rotating unit by contacting the rotating unit according to a hydraulic pressure.
14. The in-wheel driving device of claim 1 , wherein the stator and the rotor are concentric and the stator is provided in inner side of the rotor in a radial direction of the car wheel.
15. The in-wheel driving device of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the transmission unit is provided between the motor and a tire in a radial direction of the car wheel.
16. An in-wheel driving device mounted in a car wheel and comprising:
a motor comprising:
a housing;
a stator; and
a rotor;
a transmission unit disposed adjacent to the motor, having an opening therein, and configured to receive rotation power from the rotor and rotate the car wheel;
a rigid shaft inserted into the opening to fix the motor to a car body; and
a spindle disposed inside the car wheel, the spindle inserted into the rigid shaft,
wherein the rigid shaft is connected to the housing,
wherein the stator is provided on an inner surface of the housing,
wherein the rotor is disposed in the housing at a predetermined distance from the stator, and
wherein the spindle and the housing are integrally formed.
