[0008] To more clearly illustrate the above-mentioned purposes, features, and advantages of the present application, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition to the various embodiments described in this part, the present application can also be implemented in other ways, and without infringing the spirit of the present application, the person skilled in the art can make corresponding improvements, modifications, and substitutions, so that the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in this part. The scope of protection of the present application is therefore governed by the claims. (The first embodiment)

[0009] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, a first embodiment of the present application develops a hybrid drive vehicle comprising a hybrid drive system for driving wheels or for recovering power from the wheels. The hybrid drive vehicle can be an extended-range electric vehicle (REEV).

[0010] The hybrid drive system includes a twin rotor motor 100, an internal combustion engine 200, a first shaft 3, a second shaft 4, a middle shaft 5, a first gear stage 6, a second gear stage 7, a third gear stage 8, a damper 300 and a differential 400.

[0011] The twin-rotor motor 100 comprises a first motor unit 1 and a second motor unit 2, wherein the second motor unit 2 can be arranged on a radial outside of the first motor unit 1, and wherein the first motor unit 1 and the second motor unit 2 are arranged coaxially. The first motor unit 1 comprises a first stator 11 and an inner rotor 12, wherein the inner rotor 12 can be arranged on the radial inside of the first stator 11, while the second motor unit 2 comprises a second stator 21 and an outer rotor 22, wherein the outer rotor 22 can be arranged on the radial outside of the second stator 21, and the second stator 21 can be arranged on the radial outside of the first stator 11, and wherein the inner rotor 12 and the outer rotor 22 are arranged coaxially.

[0012] The stator yoke of the first stator 11 and the stator yoke of the second stator 21 can share a stator iron core, that is, the stator yoke of the first stator 11 and the stator yoke of the second stator 21 can be formed in one piece, which helps to increase the power density of the twin rotor motor 100 and to make the hybrid drive system more compact.

[0013] The first stator 11 and the second stator 21 have the same axial length and are located in the same position along an axial direction A of the hybrid drive system. When viewed along a radial direction R of the hybrid drive system, the second stator 21 completely covers the first stator 11, which helps to make the twin-rotor motor 100 more compact in the axial direction A and to occupy less space.

[0014] The inner rotor 12 can be connected to the inner rotor support 13. The inner rotor support 13 can comprise an outer circumferential section extending along the axial direction A and a circumferential direction, and an inner circumferential section extending along the radial direction R and the circumferential direction, the inner circumferential section being able to be connected to the radial inner side of the outer circumferential section. The inner rotor support 13 is supported on one axial side (the left side in Fig. 1) The first shaft 3 is connected to the inner rotor 12 and the first shaft 3 via a drive mechanism, allowing the inner rotor 12 and the first shaft 3 to rotate synchronously. The outer rotor 22 can be connected to the outer rotor carrier 23, and the outer rotor carrier 23 is connected to the second shaft 4, allowing the outer rotor 22 and the second shaft 4 to rotate synchronously. The second shaft 4 can be a hollow shaft, and the second shaft 4 can be mounted on the radial outer surface of the first shaft 3. The first shaft 3 and the second shaft 4 are arranged coaxially.

[0015] The second shaft 4 extends to the radial inner side of the outer circumferential section of the inner rotor carrier 13, and the first support bearing 41 for the second shaft can be located in a radial space between the outer circumferential section of the inner rotor carrier 13 and an axial lateral end of the second shaft 4 (the left side in Fig. 1) be arranged.

[0016] In an axial end region of the first shaft 3 (the left side in Fig. 1) The first shaft 3 can be supported on a housing (not shown) of the hybrid drive system via the support bearing 31 for the first shaft, and the support bearing 31 for the first shaft can be mounted on an axial end region of the first shaft 3.

[0017] In another axial end region of the first shaft 3 (the right side in Fig. 1) An intermediate shaft support bearing 32 can be arranged in the radial space between the first shaft 3 and the second shaft 4. The support bearing 31 for the first shaft and the intermediate shaft support bearing 32 are each located in both axial end regions of the first shaft 3. The first shaft 3 is supported by the support bearing 31 for the first shaft and the intermediate shaft support bearing 32, thereby providing stable support for the first shaft 3.

[0018] The output end of the internal combustion engine 200 can be connected to the first shaft 3 via the first gear stage 6, thereby transmitting the power of the internal combustion engine 200 to the first gear stage 6. Optionally, the output end of the internal combustion engine 200 can be connected to the first gear stage 6 via the damper 300.

[0019] The first gear stage 6 can be a gear pair, and the first gear stage 6 can comprise a ring gear 61 and a first gear 62, wherein the ring gear 61 can be connected to the output end of the internal combustion engine 200 via the damper 300, and wherein the first gear 62 can be connected to the first shaft 3.

[0020] The middle shaft 5 runs parallel to the first shaft 3 and the middle shaft 5 runs parallel to the second shaft 4.

[0021] The second gear stage 7 can be arranged between the second shaft 4 and the center shaft 5, so that power can be transmitted from the second shaft 4 to the center shaft 5 via the second gear stage 7. The second gear stage 7 can be a gear pair, and the second gear stage 7 comprises a second gear 71 and a third gear 72. The second gear 71 can be connected to the second shaft 4, and the third gear 72 can be connected to the center shaft 5. The second gear 71 and the third gear 72 mesh with each other, so that power can be transmitted from the second shaft 4 to the center shaft 5 via the second gear stage 7.

[0022] A second support bearing 42 for the second shaft can be arranged between the housing (not shown) of the hybrid drive system and the second shaft 4, and the second support bearing 42 for the second shaft can be mounted on the radial outside of the second shaft 4. Two or two groups of the second support bearings 42 for the second shaft can be arranged, and the two or two groups of the second support bearings 42 for the second shaft can be arranged on both axial sides of the second gear 71. Without increasing the axial length of the hybrid drive system, two or two groups of the second support bearings 42 for the second shaft allow a relatively small distance between the bearings and ensure good support stiffness for the second shaft 4.

[0023] Here, more precisely, the second support bearing 42 for the second shaft, which faces an axial side (the left side in Fig. 1) is installed between another axial lateral end of the outer rotor carrier 23 and the housing of the hybrid drive system. The second support bearing 42 for the second shaft faces a different axial side (the right side in Fig. 1) can be installed between another axial lateral end of the second shaft 4 and the housing of the hybrid drive system. The outer rotor carrier 23 can be installed on the second shaft 4 by means of a splined shaft connection with a press fit, causing the second shaft 4 to rotate together with the outer rotor carrier 23.

[0024] The first support bearing 41 for the second shaft is located on an axial side (the left side in Fig. 1) of the second support bearing 42 for the second shaft, wherein the second support bearing 42 for the second shaft is located on a different axial side (the right side in Fig. 1) of the inner rotor 12 is mounted on the radial outside of the second shaft 4. In this way, the outer rotor 22 is connected to the second shaft 4 via the outer rotor carrier 23, and the second shaft 4 is supported at both its axial ends by a bearing (the first support bearing 41 for the second shaft and the second support bearing 42 for the second shaft), thus providing stable support for the second shaft 4.

[0025] The third gear stage 8 can be arranged between the center shaft 5 and the differential 400, thereby transmitting power from the center shaft 5 to the differential 400 via the third gear stage 8. The center shaft 5 runs parallel to a half-shaft 401 of the differential 400. The third gear stage 8 can be a gear pair, comprising a fourth gear 81 and a fifth gear 82. The fourth gear 81 can be connected to the center shaft 5, and the fifth gear 82 can be connected to the differential 400, for example, it can be rotationally fixed to the housing of the differential 400. The fourth gear 81 and the fifth gear 82 mesh, so that the rotation and torque of the center shaft 5 can be transmitted to the differential 400 via the third gear stage 8.

[0026] In the hybrid drive system of the present application, the internal combustion engine 200 can drive the first motor unit 1 via the first gear stage 6 to generate electricity, and the second motor unit 2 can transmit the power via the second gear stage 7 and the third gear stage 8 to the differential 400 to drive the wheels. The hybrid drive system used by extended-range electric vehicles (REEVs) does not require a clutch, is therefore more cost-effective, lighter, and has no power loss caused by clutch resistance, thus increasing the electric drive power and efficiency, and simplifying system control. (The second embodiment)

[0027] As in Fig.As shown in Figure 2, a second embodiment of the present application develops a hybrid drive vehicle comprising a hybrid drive system for driving wheels or for recovering power from the wheels. A hybrid drive vehicle can be a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).

[0028] The hybrid drive system includes a twin rotor motor 100, an internal combustion engine 200, a first shaft 3, a second shaft 4, a middle shaft 5, a first gear stage 6, a second gear stage 7, a third gear stage 8, a clutch 9, a damper 300 and a differential 400.

[0029] The hybrid drive system of the second embodiment of the present application has largely the same structure as the hybrid drive system of the first embodiment, uses the same attached markings for parts that are the same or similar in both embodiments, and does not differ in its specific structure. The main difference between the hybrid drive system of the second embodiment of the present application and the hybrid drive system of the first embodiment is that the hybrid drive system of the second embodiment includes a coupling 9.

[0030] The coupling 9 can control the first gear 62 so that it is rotationally fixed to the second shaft 4 or independent of it. Part of the coupling 9 can be connected to the first shaft 3, and another part of the coupling 9 can be connected to the second shaft 4. Accordingly, the torque transmission path between the inner rotor 12 of the first motor unit 1 and the outer rotor 22 of the second motor unit 2 can be formed or interrupted by means of the coupling 9.

[0031] When the clutch 9 is engaged, power transmission between the first shaft 3 and the second shaft 4 can be achieved, so that the output end of the internal combustion engine 200 can deliver power and torque to the second shaft 4. When the clutch 9 is disengaged, the power transmission between the first shaft 3 and the second shaft 4 is interrupted, so that the output end of the internal combustion engine 200 can only deliver power and torque to the first shaft 3.

[0032] In the axial direction A of the hybrid drive system, the coupling 9 can be located between the first gear stage 6 and the second gear stage 7. This arrangement is advantageous for the bearings belonging to the twin-rotor motor 100, in particular the bearings used to support the second shaft 4. By optimizing the bearing arrangement, the second shaft 4 is stably supported and is strong and durable.
