Abstract

Disclosed herein is a single-shaft two-speed drive system including a synchronizer. The single-shaft two-speed drive system includes: a housing; a motor unit including a stator and a rotor; a first planetary gear set including a first sun gear, a plurality of first planetary gears, a first ring gear, and a first carrier; a second planetary gear set including a fastening cone, an integrating cone, a synchronizer, a second sun gear, a plurality of second planetary gears, a second ring gear, and a second carrier; and a differential; wherein the sleeve is moved in a direction of the fastening cone and coupled to the fastening cone to thus obtain a single gear reduction ratio and the sleeve is moved in a direction of the integrating cone and coupled to the integrating cone to thus obtain driving power without gear reduction.

Claims (35)

1. A single-shaft two-speed drive system configured to enable generation of power and gear reduction to be performed on a single drive shaft, the system comprising:

a housing;

a motor unit including a stator fastened onto an inner circumferential surface of the housing and configured such that a coil is wound around an outer circumferential surface thereof, and a rotor disposed outside the stator and configured to be rotated in response to application of power to the coil;

a first planetary gear set including:

a first sun gear configured to be rotated in conjunction with the rotor, and configured such that a plurality of gear teeth are formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof;

a plurality of first planetary gears configured to engage with gear teeth of the first sun gear and be operated in conjunction with the first sun gear;

a first ring gear configured such that an internal gear adapted to engage with the first planetary gears is formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof; and

a first carrier configured to couple the plurality of first planetary gears so that they are operated in conjunction with each other;

a fastening cone located on an outer circumferential surface of the first ring gear, and fastened to an inner circumferential surface of the housing;

an integrating cone mounted on an outer circumferential surface of the first carrier;

a synchronizer disposed between the fastening cone and the integrating cone; and

a differential located on a remaining side surface of the integrating cone, and connected to be operated in conjunction with the first carrier;

wherein the synchronizer includes: a hub mounted on an outer circumferential surface of the first ring gear, a sleeve coupled onto an outer circumferential surface of the hub in a spline manner, and configured to be laterally moved along the outer circumferential surface of the hub; and first and second synchronizer rings disposed on opposing surfaces of the sleeve; wherein the first synchronizer ring is located on one side surface of the fastening cone and the second synchronizer ring is located on one side surface of the integrating cone; and

wherein the sleeve is moved in a direction of the fastening cone and coupled to the fastening cone to thus obtain a single gear reduction ratio and the sleeve is moved in a direction of the integrating cone and coupled to the integrating cone to thus obtain driving power without gear reduction.

2. A single-shaft two-speed drive system configured to enable generation of power and gear reduction to be performed on a single drive shaft, the system comprising:

a housing;

a motor unit including a stator fastened onto an inner circumferential surface of the housing and configured such that a coil is wound around an outer circumferential surface thereof, and a rotor disposed outside the stator and configured to be rotated in response to application of power to the coil;

a first planetary gear set including:

a first sun gear configured to be rotated in conjunction with the rotor, and configured such that a plurality of gear teeth are formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof;

a plurality of first planetary gears configured to engage with gear teeth of the first sun gear and be operated in conjunction with the first sun gear;

a first ring gear configured such that an internal gear adapted to engage with the first planetary gears is formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof; and

a first carrier configured to couple the plurality of first planetary gears so that they are operated in conjunction with each other;

a fastening cone located on an outer circumferential surface of the first ring gear, and fastened to an inner circumferential surface of the housing;

an integrating cone mounted on an outer circumferential surface of the first carrier;

a synchronizer disposed between the fastening cone and the integrating cone; and

a differential located on a side of the integrating cone opposing the synchronizer, and connected to be operated in conjunction with the first carrier;

wherein the synchronizer includes: a hub mounted on an outer circumferential surface of the first ring gear, a sleeve coupled onto an outer circumferential surface of the hub in a spline manner, and configured to be laterally moved along the outer circumferential surface of the hub; and first and second synchronizer rings disposed on opposing surfaces of the sleeve; wherein the first synchronizer ring is located on one side surface of the fastening cone and the second synchronizer ring is located on one side surface of the integrating cone; and

a second planetary gear set disposed between the integrating cone and the differential;

wherein the second planetary gear set includes:

a second sun gear located on a remaining side surface of the integrating cone, and configured to be rotated in conjunction with the first carrier and have a plurality of gear teeth on an outer circumferential surface thereof;

a plurality of second planetary gears configured to engage with gear teeth of the second sun gear and be operated in conjunction with the second sun gear;

a second ring gear configured to have an internal gear, engaging with the second planetary gears, on an inner circumferential surface thereof, and fastened onto an inner circumferential surface of the housing; and

a second carrier connected such that the plurality of second planetary gears are operated in conjunction with each other;

wherein the differential is connected to be operated in conjunction with the second carrier; and

wherein the sleeve is moved in a direction of the fastening cone and coupled to the fastening cone to thus obtain one gear reduction ratio, and the sleeve is moved in a direction of the integrating cone and coupled to the integrating cone to thus obtain another gear reduction ratio.
