[0046] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0047] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0048] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0049] refer to Figures 1 to 8 The four schematic structures of the driving system shown in the figure are a driving system provided by the present invention, which includes: a reducer 100, a motor unit 200 and a locking transmission mechanism 300.

[0050] The reducer 100 includes a left reducer 110 for driving and connecting the left wheel of the vehicle and a right reducer 120 for driving and connecting the right wheel of the vehicle;

[0051] The motor unit 200 includes a left drive motor 210 for normally driving the left reducer 110 and a right drive motor 220 for normally driving the right reducer 120. Figure 1 As shown, the left drive motor 210 is used as a motor that normally drives the left reducer 110, and is directly connected to the left reducer 110 by transmission. The right drive motor 220 is used as a motor that normally drives the reducer 120, and is directly connected to the right drive motor 220 and the right reducer 120 by transmission.

[0052] The locking transmission mechanism 300 can be clutched and connected between the left drive motor 210 and the right reducer 120 and / or between the right drive motor 220 and the left reducer 110, so that any one of the left drive motor 210 and the right drive motor 220 can independently drive the left reducer 110 and the right reducer 120 at the same time.

[0053] The present invention aims to provide a drive system to solve the problem of unstable vehicle operation caused by motor failure in a four-wheel independent drive system, and the problem of limited escape ability when one wheel is trapped. In the existing wheel-side solutions, the left and right drive assemblies are often self-contained, or are simply mechanically connected, and the transmission coordination between the motor and the opposite reducer cannot be achieved, which is not conducive to the stable operation and escape of the vehicle. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the inventor has continuously thought and innovated and designed the drive system of the present invention, so as to improve the stability of vehicle operation and escape ability on the basis of reducing the occupied space.

[0054] In this drive system, the reducer 100 and the motor unit 200 are integrated together with a compact structure. The left drive motor 210 is connected to the left reducer 110 by transmission, and the right drive motor 220 is connected to the right reducer 120 by transmission, so that each of the four wheels is driven by an independent motor, and the torque and speed of the four wheels are independently and accurately controlled from each other.

[0055] In addition, it should be noted that, although the left drive motor 210 and the right drive motor 220 have "left" and "right", it does not mean that the left drive motor 210 is located on the left side of the drive system and the right drive motor 220 is located on the right side of the drive system. It is understandable that the left drive unit and the right drive unit can be arranged left and right, or front and back or up and down. In fact, the left drive motor 210 is used to drive the left wheel of the vehicle through the wheel output half shaft 4 on the left side, and the right drive motor 220 is used to drive the right wheel of the vehicle through the wheel output half shaft 4 on the right side.

[0056] In order to achieve the transmission coordination between the motor and the reducer on the opposite side, the drive system is designed structurally, such as Figure 1 As shown in the schematic diagram, in one embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the locking transmission mechanism 300 can be arranged between the right driving motor 220 and the left reducer 110. In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the locking transmission mechanism 300 can be arranged between the left driving motor 210 and the right reducer 120. Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the locking transmission mechanism 300 can also be arranged between the right drive motor 220 and the left reducer 110, and between the left drive motor 210 and the right reducer 120. Through the locking transmission mechanism, the transmission relationship between the motor unit 200 connected thereto and the opposite reducer 100 can be flexibly connected or disconnected.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, when the locking transmission mechanism 300 is in a disconnected state, the left drive motor 210 drives the left reducer 110, and the right drive motor 220 drives the right reducer 120, thereby realizing single-motor drive. When the locking transmission mechanisms 300 on both sides are closed, the left drive motor 210 and the right drive motor 220 both drive the left reducer 110 and the right reducer 120 at the same time, thereby realizing dual-motor drive. In this way, switching between single-motor drive and dual-motor independent drive can be realized, ensuring that the motor unit 200 works in the high-efficiency area as much as possible, saving energy consumption, and improving the vehicle's cruising range.

[0058] More importantly, when one motor in the four-wheel independent drive system fails, the other motor can drive both wheels at the same time to ensure the stable operation of the vehicle. Figure 2 As shown, when the left drive motor 210 fails, the right drive motor 220 is connected to the left reducer 110 through the locking transmission mechanism 300, and the right drive motor 220 is connected to the left reducer 110 and the right reducer 120 at the same time, so as to ensure the stable operation of the vehicle. When the right drive motor 220 fails, the left drive motor 210 is connected to the right reducer 120 through the locking transmission mechanism 300, and the left drive motor 210 is transmitted to the right drive motor 220 at the same speed through the reducer input gear 1, the reducer intermediate input gear 21 and the locking transmission gear 330, and is output to the right wheel output half shaft 4 through the right reducer 120, and the left drive motor 210 ensures that the wheels on both sides run at the same speed, so as to ensure the stable operation of the vehicle.

[0059] When one wheel is stuck in a slippery road or mud pit, the left drive motor 210 and the right reducer 120 are connected in series through the locking transmission mechanism 300, so that the torque of the motor unit 200 is fully output to the other wheel, thereby enhancing the vehicle's ability to escape from the trap. Figure 3 As shown, when the right wheel is trapped, the friction of the right wheel is low, and the left drive motor 210 is connected to the right reducer 120 through the locking transmission mechanism 300. At this time, the left drive motor 210 and the right drive motor 220 are connected in series, and the power of the right drive motor 220 is coupled to the left drive motor 210 through the right reducer 120, thereby increasing the output torque of the left wheel output half shaft 4 and enhancing the vehicle's ability to escape from trouble.

[0060] Specifically, in one embodiment, Figure 2As shown, the locking transmission mechanism 300 includes a locking transmission shaft 310 and a locking mechanism 320, wherein the locking transmission shaft 310 is coaxially driven by the motor output shaft 25 of the corresponding motor unit 200, and the locking transmission shaft 310 is provided with a locking mechanism 320, and the locking transmission shaft 310 can synchronously transmit the driving force of the motor unit 200, and the locking mechanism 320 can be a clutch or a synchronizer, which can be separated or engaged at any time to achieve the connection or disconnection of the locking transmission shaft 310 and the motor unit 200, and the switching is convenient. The locking transmission mechanism can be arranged in the corresponding reducer to achieve a high degree of structural integration, and can also be arranged in the housing of the motor unit 200. Further, the locking transmission shaft 310 is provided with a locking transmission gear 330 for meshing with the corresponding reducer 100, and the power is transmitted outward through the locking transmission gear 330.

[0061] In the drive system, the left reducer 110 and the right reducer 120 may have a power transmission mechanism, such as a plurality of gear sets or worm gear sets. In one embodiment, the left reducer 110 and the right reducer 120 may include a reducer input gear 1, a reducer intermediate gear set 2 and a reducer output gear 3 that are meshed and driven in sequence, and the shafts of the reducer input gear 1, the reducer intermediate gear set 2 and the reducer output gear 3 can be installed in the reducer 200 through a bearing seat to achieve more stable and reliable power transmission. Among them, the reducer input gear 1 and the reducer output gear 3 can be spur gears or bevel gears. The motor output shaft 25 of the motor unit 200 coaxially drives the reducer input gear 1, and the reducer output gear 3 is coaxially connected to the wheel output half shaft 4 of the vehicle; and meshing transmission is performed through the reducer intermediate gear.

[0062] Further, the intermediate gear set 2 of the reducer can be a multi-stage gear set, and the gear set can be set according to the actual speed change requirements, for example, it can be two-stage or three-stage. In one implementation, the intermediate gear set 2 of the reducer can include an intermediate input gear 21 and an intermediate output gear 22 that rotate synchronously, the intermediate input gear 21 meshes with the reducer input gear 1 and the locking transmission gear 330 respectively, and the intermediate output gear 22 meshes with the reducer output gear 3 for transmission. The intermediate input gear 21 meshes with the power input end of the reducer and transmits the power to the synchronously rotating intermediate output gear 22, and the intermediate output gear 22 outputs the power through the reducer output gear 3 meshed therewith and transmits it to the wheel output half shaft 4.

[0063] In addition, in different embodiments, the arrangement positions of the left driving motor 210 and the right driving motor 220 may be different, such as Figure 4 The left drive motor 210 in the middle motor unit 200 is located on a side close to the wheel output half shaft 4, such as Figure 5The right drive motor 220 is located on a side close to the wheel output half shaft 4. In some implementations, the half shaft center axis of the wheel output half shaft 4 is located within the cross section of the rotor of one of the left drive motor 210 or the right drive motor 220. The half shaft center axis of the wheel output half shaft 4 can be as follows: Figure 2 The first transmission is coaxially arranged with the left drive motor 210 as shown, and can also be arranged at other positions in the rotor. In this way, the power transmission structure in the right drive motor 210 can be made more compact, and the length of the first transmission in the vehicle length direction can be further reduced. Figure 2 As shown, the power transmission path of the right reducer 120 can be a U-shaped transmission path; the U-shaped transmission path makes the length of the right reducer 120 in the vehicle length direction L smaller than the length of the left reducer 110 in the vehicle length direction L, and the structure is more compact.

[0064] Furthermore, in the drive system, the left drive motor 210 and the right drive motor 220 connected to the locking transmission shaft 310 are both dual-axis motors, that is, the motors have motor output shafts 25 at both axial ends, one of the motor output shafts 25 is connected to the directly connected reducer 100, and the other motor output shaft 25 is connected to the reducer 100 on the opposite side through the locking transmission mechanism, thereby realizing the assembly connection between the drive motor and the reducer 100 on the opposite side.

[0065] In addition, the reducer 100 further includes a reducer outer shell 130 and a support member 5 disposed in the reducer outer shell 130 to support a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft may be a reduction output gear shaft 26 of the reducer output gear 3, a reduction input and output gear shaft 27 of the reducer input gear 1, and a locking transmission shaft 310. One side of the support member 5 at least supports the reduction output gear shaft 26, for example, Figure 5 As shown, the left side is isolated and supported by the support member 5 for the reduction output gear shaft 26 and the locking transmission shaft 310, and the right side is isolated and supported by the support member 5 for the reduction input gear shaft 27 and the reduction output gear shaft 26, which are not listed here one by one. Thus, the length of the rotating shaft and the locking transmission shaft 310 is shortened, so that the width of the reducer 100 in the width direction W of the vehicle is reduced, and the structure is more compact.

[0066] In addition, in the drive system, the rotary transformer and the temperature sensor are arranged inside the assembly housing, which is conducive to meeting the protection requirements. The motor unit 200 also includes a motor housing 230. The left drive motor 210 and the right drive motor 220 are arranged in the motor housing 230 at intervals along the length direction L of the vehicle. The left drive motor 210 and the right drive motor 220 use slender motors with small core diameter and long length and are arranged in parallel with the length direction L of the vehicle, reducing the volume share in the width direction W of the vehicle, and the compactness is higher. Furthermore, the left reducer 110 and the right reducer 120 are arranged on both sides of the motor unit 200 in the width direction W of the vehicle, and the side end cover of the motor housing 230 is shared with the side wall of the reducer 100, thereby further improving the integration of the drive system.

[0067] In addition, if Figure 6-8 As shown, the drive system further includes a flat electric control unit 20, wherein the flat electric control unit 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the motor unit 200, the left reducer 110 and the right reducer 120 in the height direction of the vehicle. In this way, by adopting the flat electric control unit 20, the height of the drive system in the height direction of the vehicle can be reduced, and at the same time, the electric control unit, the motor unit and the transmission of the drive system can be more integrated. Specifically, the motor unit 200 further includes a copper bar 23, wherein the copper bar 23 is located on one side of the motor housing 230 along the length direction L of the vehicle, that is, the copper bar 23 is parallel to the length direction of the motor unit. Since the flat electric control unit 20 is relatively large in size, such a configuration is convenient for improving the integration of the wheel-side drive assembly.

[0068] The flat electric control unit 20 includes a copper bar, and the copper bar is fixed to the copper bar 23 by bolt connection, wherein at least one of the electric control housing of the flat electric control unit 20 and the motor housing 230 may include an openable maintenance cover 24 disposed at the bolt connection between the copper bar and the copper bar 23. In this way, the electrical connection between the motor unit 500 and the flat electric control unit 20 can be conveniently achieved through the screw connection between the copper bar and the copper bar 23, making the wheel side drive assembly more integrated.

[0069] In addition, the present invention also provides a vehicle, which is provided with any of the above-mentioned drive systems, and utilizes a compactly installed left drive motor and a right drive motor, and realizes the transmission coordination between the motor and the opposite side reducer through a locking transmission mechanism, so that the left drive motor and the right drive motor independently or cooperatively drive the reducers on both sides and control the wheel output half shaft. Through this drive system, the stable operation of the vehicle is ensured when one side of the motor fails, and when one side of the wheel is trapped, the torque is concentrated to drive the other side of the wheel to avoid the vehicle being trapped.
