Abstract

A coaxial asynchronous motor drive system, including a speed reducer, an electric motor and a main housing, and further including a motor controller, wherein the electric motor and the speed reducer are connected to form a motor reducer assembly and mounted inside the main housing, and the motor controller is fixed to the main housing and connected to the motor reducer assembly. The system reduces parasitic loss of an auxiliary motor drive system of a battery electric four-wheel-drive vehicle and increases the range per charge of the vehicle, and the compact and integrated coaxial motor drive system facilitates maximum utilization of available space of the vehicle.

Claims (20)

1. A coaxial asynchronous motor drive system, comprising a speed reducer, an electric motor and a main housing, and further comprising a motor controller, wherein the electric motor and the speed reducer are connected to form a motor reducer assembly and mounted inside the main housing, and the motor controller is fixed to the main housing and connected to the motor reducer assembly;

an input shaft and an output shaft of the speed reducer are in a line, and a speed reducer input gear is provided on a hollow motor shaft of the electric motor; and

the electric motor controller controls to drive the gear on the hollow motor shaft of the electric motor to mesh with an intermediate shaft assembly to transfer an increased torque to an integral differential, and the torque is output to two sides via the integral differential, with a differential axle shaft gear spline on one side thereof for connection to a vehicle gearbox-side axle shaft, and a differential axle shaft gear spline on the other side thereof being connected to a short axle shaft which passes through a motor rotor and which is provided with a spline and retaining ring at a motor exposed end for connection to a vehicle motor-side axle shaft internal spline,

the input shaft of the speed reducer is the hollow motor shaft, and the output shaft of the speed reducer is the differential axle shaft,

wherein the main housing is provided with a rear suspension screw set, a front suspension screw set, a motor-side front suspension screw set, and a motor-side rear suspension screw set.

2. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 1 , wherein the intermediate shaft assembly is supported on a gearbox casing cover and a main housing assembly via a first intermediate shaft cone bearing and a second intermediate shaft cone bearing.

3. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 1 , wherein the differential axle shaft gear spline is connected to a motor-side short axle shaft.

4. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 3 , wherein the motor-side short axle shaft is rotatably sealed against a high-speed oil seal.

5. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 3 , wherein the motor-side short axle shaft is supported on a motor-side short axle shaft bearing block via a motor-side short axle shaft support bearing.

6. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 1 , wherein the rear suspension screw set is configured to mount a gearbox-side proximal differential suspension bracket of the system.

7. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 1 , wherein the front suspension screw set is configured to mount a gearbox-side distal differential suspension bracket of the system.

8. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 1 , wherein the side front suspension screw set is configured to mount a motor-side front suspension bracket of the system.

9. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 1 , wherein the motor-side rear suspension screw set is configured to mount a motor-side rear suspension bracket of the system.

10. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 1 , wherein a water inlet nozzle of the motor controller located on the main housing and a motor water outlet nozzle are on the same side.

11. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 1 , wherein in the motor controller, a motor controller-side three-phase copper bar and a motor controller-side temperature and rotary transformer signal and interface are exposed from a sealed housing of the motor controller, and the motor controller is mounted on the motor reducer assembly via four fixing bolts on a motor rear end cover.

12. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between a top of the motor controller and a center of a circle of a gearbox-side output end is not more than 210 mm.

13. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 12 , wherein the distance between the center of a circle of the gearbox-side output end and the bottom of the main housing is not more than 143 mm.

14. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 12 , wherein the distance between the center of a circle of the gearbox-side output end and an end of the main housing in a forward direction is not more than 188 mm.

15. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 14 , wherein the distance between the center of a circle of the gearbox-side output end and an end of the main housing in a direction opposite to the forward direction is not more than 143 mm.

16. The coaxial asynchronous motor drive system according to claim 12 , wherein the distance between the center of a circle of the gearbox-side output end and a motor-side output end is not more than 520 mm.
