Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a transmission system and a control method thereof, and in particular to a mechanical and electrical stepless variable speed composite transmission system and a control method thereof, belonging to the technical field of variable speed transmission devices. Background Art

[0002] The automobile transmission is the core component of the automobile transmission system and one of the important evaluation indicators of vehicle performance. During the driving process of the car, the automobile transmission changes the transmission ratio between the engine and the drive wheels, so that the engine always works at its best power performance state, adapting to the different requirements for the traction force and vehicle speed of the drive wheels under different conditions such as starting, accelerating, driving and overcoming various road obstacles.

[0003] When the oil in the hydraulic mechanism of a traditional hydraulic continuously variable transmission mixes with the air, it is easy to cause vibration and noise, affecting the working performance of the system. In addition, the oil in the hydraulic mechanism is easily contaminated. Once the oil is contaminated, it will affect the reliability of the system.

[0004] The electric continuously variable transmission, or EVT, is an advanced technology developed in recent years. It provides vehicles with continuously variable speeds, making driving smoother and more comfortable. When the electric continuously variable transmission and the internal combustion engine are effectively controlled and coordinated, the fuel efficiency of the vehicle can be greatly improved. In terms of power regulation, the EVT can effectively supplement the driving force through the energy storage device without changing the power requirements of the internal combustion engine, thereby keeping the working state of the internal combustion engine unaffected by road conditions and improving the efficiency of the entire vehicle. However, when the EVT is directly connected to the output shaft, the EVT will overheat at higher speeds, so the EVT transmission mode alone cannot meet the transmission requirements of multiple working conditions.
