A study on the design of rear wheel drive reducer for electric vehicle

초록

The aim of this study is to design the gearbox of an electric vehicle using the rear-wheel drive. The gearbox is a set of revolving gears and shafts based on programmed torque and rotations per minute (rpm). In this case, safety, strength and durability of gears and shafts was considered. In the narrow vehicle, a light case is used. In addition to gear safety and deflection, the weight of the vehicle was reduced. The electric vehicle reducer gearbox was modeled according to the vehicle room. The strength analysis was conducted using finite element method (FEM). After analyzing the strength using FEM to verify stress distribution, the design was modified, and compared with the results of altered design using FEM. As a result, the reducer gearbox of electric vehicle was designed according to incorporate gear safety, deflection of each gear, durability, and analysis of finite elements followed by test assessment, vehicle installation and the production of real parts.
