The driving motor 30, the speed reducer 40 and the power supply device 50 are all fixedly arranged in the hub 20, and the whole hub motor is of an integrated structure. Wherein, the power supply device 50 supplies power to the motor 30 to rotate, the reducer 40 is connected with the motor 30 and the hub 20 in a transmission way, and drives the hub 20 to rotate at a relatively low speed. Referring to fig. 3, the electric wheel is formed by sleeving a tire 60 on the hub 20 of the hub motor of the present invention, and can be widely applied to various vehicles, such as electric bicycles, tricycles, automobiles, etc.
In this embodiment, taking the wheel of the electric bicycle as an example, the wheel axle 10 is a long round rod, and both ends of the round rod extend out of the hub 20. When the wheel is installed, only the two extending ends of the wheel shaft 10 are fixedly connected with the frame of the bicycle, no electrical connection is needed, and the wheel is simple, quick, safe and reliable. In the illustrated construction, the hub 20 is drivingly connected to a sprocket 70 of the bicycle, such that the bicycle can be driven by the motor 30, or by human power, to form an electric power assisted bicycle. In other embodiments, depending on the specific application, the wheel axle 10 may extend beyond the wheel hub 20 at only one end to be connected to a vehicle frame, and the like, and is not limited to this embodiment.
The hub 20 includes a housing 22, and an end cap 24. The housing 22 and the end cap 24 together form a cylindrical space for accommodating the motor 30, the reducer 40, and the power supply device 50. In this embodiment, the motor 30, the speed reducer 40, and the power supply device 50 are fixed in the base 22 and coaxially disposed. The end cap 24 is fixedly connected to the seat body 22 (by screws or rivets, etc.) and seals the seat body 22, so as to prevent external dust and water from entering the hub 20 and affecting electrical safety. Preferably, a control module is fixedly arranged in the hub 20, and the control module is connected with the motor 30 and is used for controlling the running speed of the motor 30, so as to control the wheel to realize speed increase, speed reduction, cruise at a constant speed, braking and the like.
The motor 30 is accommodated in the hub 20 and sleeved on the wheel axle 10, and may be a brushless direct current motor (BLDC), an asynchronous motor, a reluctance motor, or the like. In this embodiment, the driving motor 30 is an inner rotor motor, and includes a rotor 32 sleeved on the wheel axle 10 and a stator 34 sleeved on the rotor 32. A shaft hole 33 is formed in the center of the rotor 32 for passing through the wheel axle 10, the diameter of the shaft hole 33 is larger than the outer diameter of the wheel axle 10, and a bearing 36 is arranged between the wheel axle 10 and the rotor 32 for supporting the rotor 32 to rotate relative to the wheel axle 10. The outer wall surface of the rotor 32 is provided with a plurality of magnets 38, and the magnets 38 form alternating N poles and S poles along the circumferential direction of the rotor 32. The stator 34 is fixed in the hub 20, in this embodiment, the stator 34 is fixed in the seat 22 of the hub 20, and a gap of 0.2-1 mm is formed between the stator 34 and the rotor 32 in the radial direction. The stator 34 includes a plurality of coils 39, and the stator coil 39 is energized to generate a changing magnetic field to interact with the magnetic field formed by the magnet 38 of the rotor 32, so as to drive the rotor 32 to rotate around the wheel axle 10.
The speed reducer 40 is accommodated in the hub 20 and sleeved on the wheel axle 10, and is coaxially disposed with the motor 30 and located at one axial side of the motor 30. The reducer 40 is preferably a planetary gear with a reduction ratio greater than 1. The sun gear 42 of the planetary gear 40 is fixedly connected with the rotor 32 of the motor 30 through screws and the like and rotates synchronously with the rotor 32, and the outer gear ring 44 is fixedly connected with the base 22 of the hub 20 through tight fit and the like. After the rotation of the rotor 32 of the motor 30 is greatly reduced by the planetary gear 40, the hub 20 and the components fixed in the hub 20, including the stator 34 of the motor 30, the power supply device 50, the control module, etc., are driven to rotate at a relatively low speed with respect to the wheel axle 10. Since the rotational speed of the hub 20 is lower than the rotational speed of the rotor 32, a speed difference is formed between the stator 34 and the rotor 32, which rotate synchronously with the hub 20, and relative rotation is maintained therebetween.
The power supply device 50 is a battery with an annular structure, and is accommodated in the hub 20 and sleeved on the motor 30 and the speed reducer 40.

Preferably, the battery 50 is connected to a battery management unit, which has automatic constant current, constant voltage, pulse activated charging conversion function; overcurrent, overvoltage and undervoltage automatic protection functions; battery power, output current, battery aging measurement functions, and the like.
The battery 50 is electrically connected to the stator coil 39 of the motor 30, a control module, and the like as a power source of the entire in-wheel motor. When the vehicle is started, the control module generates a signal to start the motor 30, the stator coil 39 of the motor 30 is electrified to generate an alternating magnetic field, and the alternating magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field of the rotor 32 to push the rotor 32 to rotate at a speed V1 quickly relative to the wheel axle 10. After the rotation of the rotor 32 of the motor 30 is decelerated by the decelerator 40, the driving hub 20 rotates relative to the wheel axle 10 at a relatively low speed V2 to drive the vehicle to travel. During rotation of the hub 20, the battery 50, stator 34, control module, etc. rotate synchronously with the hub 20 at speed V2 with respect to the hub 10, and at the same time rotate with respect to the rotor 32 of the motor 30 at speed scalar sum (V1+ V2), with the V1 and V2 directions being substantially opposite.
The utility model discloses in-wheel motor is after the start-up, except that shaft 10 whole in-wheel motor, including battery 50, motor 30, reduction gear 40, control module etc, wholly use shaft 10 to rotate as the center, battery 50, motor 30's stator 34, control module etc. rotates along with hub 20 is synchronous, consequently there is not relative motion between battery 50 and each electronic components, so battery 50 can conveniently be connected with motor 30's stator coil 39, realize the current commutation through the circuit, need not the brush, electrically conductive sliding ring structure, simplify in-wheel motor's structure, guarantee electrical safety.
