[0041] A dual-speed hybrid system includes an internal combustion engine 1 and a first electric motor 5; the internal combustion engine 1 and / or the first electric motor 5 are connected to the front wheels and / or the rear wheels via a transmission unit; both the internal combustion engine 1 and / or the first electric motor 5 can drive the front wheels and / or the rear wheels; the transmission unit includes a first transmission unit and a second transmission unit; the first transmission unit is connected to the second transmission unit via a clutch unit 14; the internal combustion engine 1 is connected to the front wheels via the first transmission unit; the first electric motor 5 is connected to the rear wheels via the second transmission unit; this invention, through the coordinated use of the internal combustion engine 1, the first electric motor 5, and the transmission unit, can realize multi-mode drive of the power system; it realizes a hybrid architecture with multi-speed series-parallel hybrid and power split functions, which can combine the advantages of high energy utilization of power split, driving comfort in pure electric mode, and strong power in parallel mode, providing multiple driving modes to meet the needs of road conditions and driving experience.
[0042] Specifically, the dual-speed hybrid system disclosed in this invention mainly includes an internal combustion engine 1 and a first electric motor 5; the internal combustion engine 1 can be a reciprocating piston engine or a rotary engine, and the crankshaft output end is fixedly connected to the planetary gear mechanism / first input shaft 2; it outputs mechanical work when needed, serving as the main energy source for the vehicle; it can also be towed and started; its main function is to provide power for continuous high-speed cruising and high-load conditions, ensuring long-distance driving range.
[0043] First motor 5 (EM1); permanent magnet synchronous motor or induction motor, rotor fixedly connected to second input shaft 6; integrated inverter and high voltage bus; pure electric drive for rear wheels, starting internal combustion engine 1, energy recovery for power generation, and parallel assist.
[0044] It achieves zero emissions from the start and two-speed pure electric rear-wheel drive.
[0045] In this invention, the internal combustion engine 1 and / or the first motor 5 are connected to the front wheel and / or the rear wheel via a transmission unit; the internal combustion engine 1 and / or the first motor 5 can drive the front wheel and / or the rear wheel; the transmission unit is mainly for the purpose of power transmission, so as to facilitate the front wheel, rear wheel or four-wheel drive of the vehicle.
[0046] There are many types of transmission units. Theoretically, any unit that can output power from the internal combustion engine 1 or / and the first motor 5 to drive the front or rear wheels is sufficient for use.
[0047] To simplify the structure of the dual-speed hybrid system and facilitate subsequent layout, the transmission unit in this invention includes a first transmission unit and a second transmission unit. The first transmission unit is connected to the second transmission unit via a clutch unit 14. The internal combustion engine 1 is connected to the front wheels via the first transmission unit. The first motor 5 is connected to the rear wheels via the second transmission unit. The transmission unit of this invention consists of an independent first transmission unit and a second transmission unit, and the first transmission unit and the second transmission unit are mechanically coupled in a disengageable manner via a clutch unit 14.
[0048] In this invention, the input end of the first transmission unit is connected to the internal combustion engine 1, which can be directly connected or connected using a planetary gear structure 9; the output end is connected to the front wheel differential; while in this invention, the input end of the second transmission unit is adjacent to the rotor of the first motor 5, and the output end is directly connected to the rear wheel differential.
[0049] The clutch unit 14 is arranged between the first transmission unit and the second transmission unit; specifically, it can be arranged between the first input shaft 2 of the first transmission unit and the second output shaft 3 of the second transmission unit; in practice, engagement / disengagement can be achieved through an electro-hydraulic actuator.
[0050] Based on the above design, the two power paths of the dual-speed hybrid system can be completely decoupled in this invention, reducing the number of parts.
[0051] In this invention, the first transmission unit and the second transmission unit can be staggered along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle or stacked vertically, requiring only axial space to be reserved for the clutch unit 14, which facilitates the arrangement of the battery pack in the front compartment and rear floor.
[0052] The system can switch between front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive modes by engaging / disengaging a single clutch unit 14. The control logic is simple and there are few points of failure.
[0053] Furthermore, in this invention, the first transmission unit includes a first input shaft 2 and a first output shaft 7; the first input shaft 2 is connected to the first output shaft 7 via a first gear unit 13; the second transmission unit includes a second input shaft 6 and a second output shaft 3; the second input shaft 6 is connected to the second output shaft 3 via a second gear unit; in this invention, the first input shaft 2 is connected to the first output shaft 7 via the first gear unit 13, thereby realizing the transmission of power from the first input shaft 2 to the first output shaft 7.
[0054] In this invention, the front end of the first input shaft 2 is connected to the internal combustion engine 1 (or planetary gear structure 9); the first gear unit 13 is a pair of constantly meshing gears, one type of input gear 131 is rotatably connected to the first input shaft 2, and the other type of output gear 132 is fixed to the first output shaft 7; the end of the first output shaft 7 is connected to the front wheel differential; in this invention, the first transmission unit is mainly capable of transmitting the torque of the internal combustion engine 1 to the front wheels after reducing and increasing torque at a fixed speed ratio, thus completing the mechanical transmission of the front drive path.
[0055] A single-stage reduction can meet the front wheel speed ratio requirements, with fewer parts, a shorter transmission chain, and a compact layout.
[0056] The second transmission unit mainly includes a second input shaft 6, a second gear unit, and a second output shaft 3; the second input shaft 6 is connected to the second output shaft 3 through the second gear unit.
[0057] In this invention, the second input shaft 6 is connected to the first motor 5, the second gear unit is a two-stage switchable gear pair (first stage low speed, second stage high speed); the end of the second output shaft 3 is connected to the rear wheel differential.
[0058] The torque of the first motor is transmitted to the rear wheels at a selected speed ratio to achieve pure electric rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive assistance; based on the above design, two-stage speed ratios are achieved to balance low-speed high torque and high-speed cruising efficiency; the axle system is arranged independently, which facilitates modular installation of the rear floor.
[0059] Furthermore, in this invention, the first gear unit 13 includes an input gear 131 disposed on the first input shaft 2 and an output gear 132 disposed on the first output shaft 7; the input gear 131 meshes with the output gear 132; the input gear 131 is connected to the first input shaft 2 through a first power selection unit; the input gear 131 is rotatably connected to the first input shaft 2, and the first power selection unit includes a first synchronizer 8 disposed on the first input shaft 2, the first synchronizer 8 being able to connect with the input gear 131; the input gear 131 is a spur gear, rotating on the first input shaft 2, and can rotate freely relative to the first input shaft 2; its external teeth are constantly meshed with the output gear 132.
[0060] As the driving gear of the first gear unit 13, it transmits the torque from the internal combustion engine 1 to a type of output gear 132, thereby driving the front wheels.
[0061] The empty sleeve design prevents the gear from rotating with the shaft when not engaged, reducing oil loss during idling.
[0062] A type of output gear 132 is fixed to the first output shaft 7 and meshes externally with a type of input gear 131; the speed ratio is determined once by the ratio of the number of teeth of the two gears.
[0063] Its function is to reduce speed and increase torque, and then output power to the front wheel differential.
[0064] The first transmission unit of this invention has a single-stage transmission, which is simple in structure, has high transmission efficiency, and low noise.
[0065] The first power selection unit comprises a first synchronizer 8 (sliding sleeve type synchronization mechanism) arranged on the first input shaft 2; the splined hub of the first synchronizer 8 is fixedly connected to the first input shaft 2, and the sliding sleeve can move axially and engage / disengage with the splined end face of a type of input gear 131.
[0066] When front drive is required, a type of input gear 131 is locked to the first input shaft 2; when pure electric rear drive or four-wheel drive is disconnected, the two are separated, cutting off the power connection between the internal combustion engine 1 and the front wheels.
[0067] This invention uses only one first synchronizer 8 to realize the "on / off" of the front drive path, with the fewest number of parts.
[0068] In this invention, the engagement of the first synchronizer 8 has a small impact and the mode switching is smooth; when disconnected, the drag loss of the internal combustion engine 1 is ≈0, which improves the pure electric range.
[0069] Furthermore, in this invention, the second gear unit includes a first-stage gear unit 12 and a second-stage gear unit 11; a second power selection unit is provided between the first-stage gear unit 12 and the second-stage gear unit 11; the first-stage gear unit 12 includes a second-type input gear 121 disposed on the second input shaft 6 and a second-type output gear 122 disposed on the second output shaft 3; the second-stage gear unit 11 includes a third-type input gear 111 disposed on the second input shaft 6 and a third-type output gear 112 disposed on the second output shaft 3; the second-type input gear 121 and the third-type input gear 111 are rotatably connected to the second input shaft 6; the second power selection unit includes a second synchronizer 10 disposed on the second input shaft 6; the second synchronizer 10 can be connected to either the second-type input gear 121 or the third-type input gear 111; in this invention, the second-type input gear... A pair of constantly meshing gears is formed by gear 121 and type II output gear 122; type II input gear 121 is loosely fitted on the second input shaft 6, and type II output gear 122 is fixed on the second output shaft 3; based on the above design, a "low speed, high speed ratio" path is provided, which amplifies the torque of the first motor 5 and transmits it to the rear wheels to meet the high torque requirements for starting, climbing, etc.; at low speeds, the motor operates in a high-efficiency range, and the vehicle's power response is fast; in this invention, a pair of constantly meshing gears is formed by type III input gear 111 and type III output gear 112; type III input gear 111 is loosely fitted on the same second input shaft 6, and type III output gear 112 is fixed on the second output shaft 3; the second-stage gear unit 11 provides a "high speed, low speed ratio" path, which reduces the motor speed, reduces iron loss and noise, and improves high-speed cruising efficiency; when driving at high speeds, the motor speed decreases, the system efficiency is improved, and NVH is reduced at the same time.
[0070] In this invention, the second power selection unit includes a second synchronizer 10, which can slide axially on the second input shaft 6; the two ends of the second synchronizer 10 are respectively provided with spline gear rings corresponding to the second type input gear 121 and the third type input gear 111; the second synchronizer 10 realizes the three-position switching of "first level - neutral - second level" by axial movement, which determines which gear pair drives the rear wheel of the first motor 5.
[0071] This invention uses only one second synchronizer 10 to complete the two-stage speed ratio selection, with the fewest number of parts, which can reduce the axial dimension of the two-speed hybrid system.
[0072] The neutral position can disconnect the mechanical connection between the motor and the rear wheel when trailer or during regenerative braking, avoiding back-dragging losses. In this invention, the synchronizer stepper has low shifting impact and high reliability, making it suitable for hybrid operating conditions with frequent start-stop.
[0073] Furthermore, in this invention, the clutch unit 14 includes a clutch; the clutch is used for power transmission or disconnection between the first transmission unit and the second transmission unit; the clutch unit 14 is arranged between the first input shaft 2 and the second output shaft 3; its active friction plate is fixedly connected to the rotating part of the first transmission unit, and its driven friction plate is fixedly connected to the rotating part of the second transmission unit, and the engagement / disengagement is controlled by an electro-hydraulic or motor-ball screw actuator; when four-wheel drive or parallel operation is required, the first transmission unit and the second transmission unit are rigidly connected, so that the torque of the internal combustion engine 1 can be transmitted to the rear wheels, or the torque of the first motor 5 can be transmitted to the front wheels; in pure electric rear-wheel drive or mode, the clutch is disconnected, realizing complete decoupling of the front and rear axle power.
[0074] It can switch between three drive modes, namely front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, with a single clutch. The control logic is simple and the hardware is minimal. When disengaged, there is no mechanical coupling between the front and rear axles, avoiding drag loss and improving the pure electric range. When engaged, it forms a parallel four-wheel drive, instantly increasing the total output torque of the vehicle to meet the needs of rapid acceleration or off-road extrication.

[0111] The power split mode is implemented as follows: the internal combustion engine 1 transmits power to the planetary gear structure 9 through the planetary carrier, and then part of the power is output by the sun gear to the second motor 4 to generate electricity, store the energy in the battery or drive the first motor 5 to work, and the other part of the power is output by the gear ring to the wheel end.
[0112] The first motor 5 and the gear ring output structure are arranged in parallel. The first motor 5 can change its own power according to the needs of the vehicle's power performance, and can also supplement the required power when necessary. Therefore, the internal combustion engine 1 always maintains a high-efficiency speed range, improving the vehicle's economy.
[0113] The front-wheel drive mode is implemented as follows: the internal combustion engine 1 is working, the clutch is disengaged, the first synchronizer 8 is engaged in the left gear, and the power is transmitted forward through the first gear unit 13 to achieve front-wheel drive.
[0114] The rear-wheel drive mode is implemented as follows: 1. The internal combustion engine 1 is working, the clutch is engaged, the first synchronizer 8 is in neutral, and the power is transmitted to the second output shaft 3 through the first input shaft 2 to achieve rear-wheel drive.
[0115] 2. When the internal combustion engine is not working, the first motor 5 is working, the clutch is disengaged, and two-speed pure electric rear drive can be achieved.
[0116] 3. The first motor 5 and the internal combustion engine 1 work simultaneously, the clutch is engaged, and the first synchronizer 8 is in neutral. At this time, the parallel rear-drive mode can be realized.
[0117] How to achieve four-wheel drive mode: Engage the left gear position with the first synchronizer 8, and the clutch will engage to achieve four-wheel drive mode.
[0118] The specific working principle is as follows:
[0119] Starting method 1: Started by the first motor 5. At this time, the clutch is disengaged, realizing pure electric rear-drive start. When the vehicle speed gradually increases to the speed at which the engine can stably engage, the clutch engages, and the engine starts and starts working. At this time, the first motor 5 can choose to keep working or stop working according to the power demand.
[0120] Power splitting principle: After the engine starts, it transmits power to the planetary carrier. Through the motion decomposition function of the planetary gears, a part of the power is output to the second motor 4 to generate electricity, and the other part of the power is output to the gear ring and then transmitted to the drive shaft, thus realizing power splitting.
[0121] Drive mode switching principle: When the engine is running, the clutch can control whether to transmit power to the rear wheels, and the first synchronizer 8 can control whether to transmit power to the front wheels. Through different combinations of control, front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes can be realized.
[0122] The present invention achieves the effect of power splitting through planetary gear structure 9.
[0123] Simultaneously, through the cooperation of the first synchronizer 8, the second synchronizer 10, and the clutch, the switching between front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive modes is realized.
[0124] Obviously, the specific implementation of this invention is not limited to the above-described methods. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention are within the protection scope of this invention.
