A
new energy heavy
truck central driving box comprises a motor, an input shaft, an intermediate shaft meshed with the input shaft and an output shaft, and is characterized by further comprising a single-stage
planet row, a first gear shifting
assembly and a second gear shifting
assembly, the intermediate shaft and the input shaft are parallel and symmetrically distributed with the input shaft as the center, and a
planet carrier of the single-stage
planet row and the output shaft are coaxially fixed; the single-stage planet row is connected with the input shaft or the intermediate shaft along with gear shifting of the first gear shifting
assembly, the single-stage planet row forms high-torque low-speed or low-torque high-speed output along with gear shifting of the second gear shifting assembly, and the input shaft, the single-stage planet row and the output shaft are coaxially aligned from front to back. The power requirements of the heavy
truck under various working conditions such as
light load,
heavy load, flat road and ramp are met, the single-shaft torque load is reduced, the transmission efficiency is improved, redundant design is formed by multiple intermediate shafts, the gearbox
failure risk is reduced, the structural compactness of the driving box is improved, and the driving box is matched with
chassis arrangement of the
new energy heavy
truck. The invention further provides a gear shifting control method of the central driving box of the
new energy heavy truck.
