Abstract
An electric-powered vehicle includes: an axle body that includes an axle and drive wheels connected to both ends of the axle; a magnetic geared motor for rotating the axle, the magnetic geared motor including a stator, a low-speed rotor, and a high-speed rotor; a vehicle structure supported by the axle body; a motor support for connecting the vehicle structure and the stator, and supporting the magnetic geared motor by the vehicle structure; and an elastic coupling for coupling the low-speed rotor and the axle such that a rotational force of the low-speed rotor is transmittable to the axle.
Claims7
An electric-powered vehicle, comprising:
- an axle body that includes an axle and drive wheels connected to both ends of the axle;
- a magnetic geared motor for rotating the axle, the magnetic geared motor including a stator, a low-speed rotor, and a high-speed rotor;
- a vehicle structure supported by the axle body;
- a motor support for connecting the vehicle structure and the stator, and supporting the magnetic geared motor by the vehicle structure;
- an elastic coupling for coupling the low-speed rotor and the axle such that a rotational force of the low-speed rotor is transmittable to the axle;
- and
- a connecting body for connecting each of the both ends of the axle and the vehicle structure,
- wherein the connecting body includes:
- a bearing for rotatably supporting the both ends of the axle;
- and
- an elastic member disposed between the bearing and the vehicle structure, and
- wherein the elastic coupling is configured to absorb an inclination of the axle, which arises via the connecting body as the electric-powered vehicle travels.
