Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A driving device for an electric truck which can obtain good ride quality by decreasing the unsprung weight while achieving the adequate fuel efficiency performance by improving the power transmission efficiency and which can improve the mountability of a battery. The driving device includes a driving unit that accommodates therein a motor, a gearbox, and a differential device. The driving unit is supported by a first support part with respect to a ladder frame. Drive shafts coupled to the differential device are accommodated in hollow members. The hollow members are elastically supported by a second support part with respect to the ladder frame.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A driving device for an electric truck that includes a ladder frame on which a cab is mounted, the ladder frame extending along a front-back direction of the electric truck, comprising: a driving unit that accommodates therein a motor serving as a power source, a gearbox coupled to the motor, and a differential device coupled to the gearbox; a pair of drive shafts coupled to the differential device of the driving unit via flexible joints, the pair of drive shafts configured to transfer power generated by the motor to wheels of the electric truck; a pair of hollow members for accommodating therein the pair of drive shafts; a coupling member for supporting the wheels by coupling the pair of hollow members together; a first support part, wherein the first support part supports the driving unit with respect to the ladder frame; and a second support part, wherein the second support part elastically supports the pair of hollow members with respect to the ladder frame. 2. The driving device according to claim 1 , wherein the first support part is configured to support the driving unit with lower elasticity than the second support part. 3. The driving device according to claim 1 , wherein the second support part is configured to elastically support the pair of hollow members with respect to the ladder frame via leaf springs. 4. The driving device according to claim 1 , wherein the differential device includes a helical gear to engage with a last gear of the gearbox.
