The application of in-wheel motors in the following fields

1. Hub motors for automobiles:
As one of the earliest applications, in-wheel motors have the advantages of high efficiency, high integration, high space utilization, and convenient control. The application of these vehicles basically stays at the stage of concept cars, test cars or limited editions. This is considered by the automotive industry to be the best drive solution for new energy in the future, because it changes the drive system of traditional cars and increases the unsprung mass. The control performance of the whole vehicle needs more verification in terms of safety and reliability. At the same time, it is also faced with waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, heat dissipation (currently, some companies are researching motor water cooling and air cooling technology) and more. technical challenge. There are also adjustments in the structure of the automobile industry brought about by technological innovation and so on.
2. Hub motors for intelligent robots:
The food delivery robot used in some high-end restaurants can effectively replace or partially replace the work of restaurant waiters, from the customer's seat to the delivery of food on the table. In addition, it is more commonly used in hotel reception, supermarket services, and public places. Service intelligent robots for disinfection, temperature measurement and other scenarios provide great convenience for human life. In-wheel motors play an important role in this field as both load-carrying and driving moving parts.
3. Hub motors for AGV/AMR chassis (two-wheel drive/four-wheel drive):
The robot chassis (AGV/AMR chassis) mainly carries the basic functions of the robot's positioning, navigation, obstacle avoidance, and movement, and is a very important hardware module. This type of autonomous mobile chassis is mainly used for secondary development of applications in various industries, and completes robot-specific tasks through chassis movement + machine function interaction and collaboration. The motor performance requirements are relatively high (load, position locking, reliability, obstacle surmounting, climbing, safety, precision, etc.), and there are higher protection level requirements for outdoor applications.
4. In-wheel motor for inspection robot:
With the progress of society, the automation level of substations continues to increase, and the status quo of unattended operations is becoming more and more common. As the key to the power system, substations have an important impact on people's production and life, and traditional inspection methods have already It cannot meet the development of modern substations and is replaced by intelligent inspection robots. Compared with traditional manual inspections, its main advantages are flexible operation, no influence from external weather, and no physical limitations. Intelligent inspection robots are also widely used in other industries, such as oil and gas transportation, transportation tracks, smart farms, etc.
5. Hub motors for electric scooters:
In recent years, the concepts of transportation tools and personal travel have become popular, and new products such as electric scooters (which can be subdivided into two-wheeled and four-wheeled scooters), which are light in weight, beautiful in appearance and superior in performance, have appeared on the market one after another. Scooters are different. Electric scooters installed with hub motors, drives and batteries can be used as transportation tools to bring convenience to people's travel while satisfying niche extreme sports. In the electric skateboard industry, because of its novelty and development With a good momentum and huge market potential, it is deeply concerned and favored by the international capital market. As an extreme sports event, some brand manufacturers will also spontaneously organize competitions, etc., in order to attract more skateboard enthusiasts to participate and understand, promote the development of the electric skateboard market and enhance their own brand image.
6. Hub motors for electric bicycles:
Hub motors for electric bicycles are currently the most widely used and most mature products. Most electric bicycles (including some of the first-line electric vehicle brands) basically use hub motors. The traditional chain-pass structure has been replaced. Because of its huge market volume, after years of development, it has formed a very mature industrial structure, and at the same time greatly reduced the cost of motors. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where the supply chain is complete, the competition among manufacturers of hub motors for electric vehicles has tended to This has also led to the gradual compression of the profit margins of enterprises producing such in-wheel motors.
In addition, in-wheel motors are more widely used in consumer products, such as twisting cars, luggage, etc., and there are also cases of large-scale and high-end medical equipment used as electric power assist for equipment. With the development of society, it is believed that more application fields will be discovered by creators in the future.
