DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0081] The disclosure will be further illustrated below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0082] In a coaxial asynchronous motor drive system of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, an electric motor 200 and a speed reducer 300 are connected to form a motor reducer assembly and are mounted inside a main housing 2, and a motor controller 20 is fixed to the main housing 2 by means of bolts and is connected to the motor reducer assembly.

[0083] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the main housing is provided with a rear suspension screw set AM1, a front suspension screw set BM2, a motor-side front suspension screw set CM3, and a motor-side rear suspension screw set DM4. The rear suspension screw set AM1 is configured to mount a gearbox-side proximal differential suspension bracket of the system, the front suspension screw set BM2 is configured to mount a gearbox-side distal differential suspension bracket of the system, the front suspension screw set CM3 is configured to mount a motor-side front suspension bracket of the system, and the motor-side rear suspension screw set DM4 is configured to mount a motor-side rear suspension bracket of the system.

[0084] As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the distance between the top of the motor controller and the center of a circle of a gearbox-side output end is not more than 210 mm, which has a direct influence on an available space above a vehicle EDS; 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, which has a direct influence on the ground clearance of a vehicle; 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, which occupies the dimension of a front suspension space of the vehicle, and a smaller L31 is more conducive to the integration of a larger front trunk in the vehicle; 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, which occupies the dimension of the length between two axles of the vehicle and has a direct influence on the length dimension setting of a battery pack; and the distance between the center of a circle of the gearbox-side output end and the motor-side output end is not more than 520 mm, which occupies the limited dimension between two driving wheels of the vehicle and has a direct influence on the length of the axle shafts on two sides, the longer dimension leads to a shorter axle shaft, and the excessively short axle shaft will have a direct influence on the service life of a universal joint, even causing the NVH performance to exceed the ultimate range of motion.

[0085] As shown in FIG. 5, a water inlet nozzle Y1 of the motor controller 20 located on the main housing 2 and a motor water outlet nozzle Y2 are on the same side.

The motor controller-side three-phase copper bar 2011, a three-phase copper bar 2015 of the electric motor, and the motor controller-side temperature and rotary transformer signal and interface 2012 are all in non-exposed connection inside the motor rear end cover.

[0089] The hollow motor shaft 6 is pressed into the cast-aluminum rotor 5 in an interference-fit manner, an outer ring of the high-speed oil seal A7 is sealed against the main housing 2 in an interference-fit manner and is rotatably sealed against the hollow motor shaft 6, the differential carrier 9 is fixed on the main housing 2 by means of a bolt, one side thereof presses the outer ring of the high-speed bearing 8 to limit the bearing, the outer ring of the high-speed oil seal 2 is sealed against the hollow motor shaft 6 in an interference-fit manner, the oil seal rotates together with the hollow motor shaft 6, and an inner side of the oil seal is rotatably sealed against the motor-side short axle shaft 21; the outer ring of the differential cone bearing A11 is mounted in a bearing block hole of the differential carrier 9, supporting one side of the differential; a secondary driven gear of the integral differential 12 is directly machined integrally with a differential housing on one side, and is laser-welded to a differential housing on the other side after a differential gear system is assembled, and an outer ring of the differential cone bearing B14 is mounted in a bearing block hole of the gearbox casing cover 13, supporting one side of the differential; the gearbox-side output oil seal 15 is rotatably sealed against a vehicle axle shaft internal joint, and the intermediate shaft assembly 17 is supported on the gearbox casing cover 13 and the main housing 2 by means of the first intermediate shaft cone bearing A16 and the second intermediate shaft cone bearing B18, respectively; the motor-side short axle shaft 21 is connected to a differential axle shaft gear spline and is rotatably sealed against the high-speed oil seal B10, and is supported on the motor-side short axle shaft bearing block 24 by means of the motor-side short axle shaft support bearing 23; the motor-side output oil seal 22 is mounted on the motor-side short axle shaft bearing block 24, and an inner side thereof is rotatably sealed against the motor-side short axle shaft 21; and a stator of the rotary transformer assembly 25 is fixedly mounted on the motor-side short axle shaft bearing block 24, and a rotor thereof is mounted on the hollow motor shaft 6.

EXAMPLES

[0090] The motor controller 20 converts a direct current into a three-phase alternating current required by an asynchronous motor 100 to drive an motor rotor, and then a torque is output from the gear 61 on the hollow motor shaft and transferred to the intermediate shaft assembly primary driven gear 171 which meshes with the gear 61 on the hollow motor shaft, so as to achieve a first torque rise for the torque via a primary gear pair; the torque is transferred to the meshed integral differential 12 via the intermediate shaft assembly secondary driving gear 172 of the intermediate shaft assembly 17, so as to achieve a second torque rise for the torque via a secondary gear pair; and then the torque is output to the two sides via the integral differential 12. Since the integral differential 12 of the disclosure and the asynchronous motor 100 are on the same axis, the motor-side short axle shaft 21 is used, with one side thereof being connected to the differential axle shaft gear spline, and the other side thereof passing through the motor rotor and provided, at an exposed end thereof, with a motor-side short axle shaft exposed end external spline and retaining ring 211 for connection to the internal spline of the vehicle motor-side axle shaft internal joint and for axial limiting; and the vehicle gearbox-side axle shaft internal joint uses a conventional external spline, and is directly inserted into the integral differential 12 for connection to the axle shaft gear and limiting.
