The invention relates to an electrically-driven two-gear speed
reducer and a control method thereof. The two-gear speed
reducer comprises an input shaft, a first-stage
speed reduction gear set, a sun gear control shaft, a
clutch, a
brake, an NGW type planetary gear set, a third-stage
speed reduction gear set and an output shaft. Wherein the primary reduction gear set comprises an input driving gear and an input driven gear; the NGW type planetary gear set comprises a sun gear, a
planet gear, a gear ring and a
planet carrier; the three-stage reduction gear set comprises an output driving gear and an output driven gear. A speed
reducer formed by combining a parallel shaft
speed reduction gear set and an NGW type planetary gear set has two driving gears, is free of power interruption in the gear shifting process and has a neutral gear and a parking gear; and meanwhile, the axial size is more compact. The adopted NGW type planetary gear set is the optimal choice in numerous planetary gear mechanisms, and is high in efficiency, small in size, simple in structure, convenient to manufacture and wide in application.
