Abstract
The present invention relates to an electronic braked-integrated in-wheel motor driving device. According to one embodiment of the present invention, an apparently complicated driving device structure, which is formed due to the installation of a brake, can be avoided, and a product appearance of a wheel-chair, to which the in-wheel motor driving device is applied, can be simplified, whereby the driving device improves the visual appearance as well as the brake function and can thus enhance production competitiveness.
Claims17
An electronic brake-integrated in-wheel motor driving device, comprising:
- a circular rim, an outer wheel of which is surrounded by a tire, which is coupled to the tire, which is provided with a hollow portion therein, through which a shaft passes and to which the shaft is coupled;
- a motor assembly that comprises a stator inserted into the rim, and a rotor disposed to surround and wrap the stator and configured to rotate outside the stator through supply of power, and that connects to the shaft through a stator hub provided in the stator;
- an electronic brake disposed to face the motor assembly and operating to stop rotation of the rotor;
- a brake mounting jig coupled to the stator hub, configured to accommodate the electronic brake, coupled to the electronic brake and provided with a bearing between the brake mounting jig and the rim;
- a first cover coupled to one side of the rim to seal the motor assembly and to support the shaft;
- and
- a second cover coupled to the other side of the rim to seal the electronic brake accommodated in the brake mounting jig,
- the electronic brake, comprising:
- an electronic brake rotor coupled and fixed to the second cover, and configured to stop rotating by an electromagnetic force when a braking signal is supplied;
- and
- an electronic brake stator configured to face the electronic brake rotor, coupled to the electronic brake rotor through a side opposite to the side of the electronic brake rotor, to which the second cover is coupled, and coupled to the brake mounting jig,
- wherein the electronic brake rotor is provided with a coupling for a coupling with the second cover, and
- the electronic brake rotor is inserted into a circular accommodation groove provided in the second cover.
