Description

[0002] At present, most newly built and under-construction large-scale coal mines use explosion-proof diesel engine trackless rubber-tyred vehicles as the main transportation equipment to complete the auxiliary transportation of various materials underground. When these vehicles are in operation, the exhaust gas emitted by the explosion-proof diesel engine causes the air quality in the tunnel to deteriorate, seriously affecting the health of the driver and other underground workers. At the same time, the exhaust gas emissions of the explosion-proof diesel engine in the narrow and closed environment also deteriorate the diesel engine's own intake conditions, resulting in incomplete combustion and reduced power, causing fuel waste and exacerbating environmental pollution in the underground tunnel. Although the explosion-proof battery trackless rubber-tyred vehicle, which uses batteries as the energy supply device and is driven by an electric motor, has achieved zero exhaust emissions and improved the air quality in the tunnel, the low energy density of the battery, the high price, and the long charging time limit the scope of use of the explosion-proof battery trackless rubber-tyred vehicle, and its promotion and application are greatly restricted. Therefore, explosion-proof diesel engine trackless rubber-tyred vehicles powered by explosion-proof diesel engines are still widely used underground in coal mines. In order to reduce the impact of explosion-proof diesel engine exhaust, the only way is to increase the ventilation volume to dilute the harmful gases and reduce the impact of explosion-proof diesel engine exhaust on the health of underground workers. It is impossible to fundamentally solve the environmental pollution caused by explosion-proof diesel engine exhaust emissions and the labor protection issues of employees. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] This embodiment provides an oil-electric dual-power transmission system, which includes two power sources: an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The internal combustion engine power source and the electric motor power source respectively use their own power shift transmissions to achieve power source output speed and torque matching the vehicle speed and load. The front and rear output ends and the front and rear axles of the two power shift transmissions are connected in series through a drive shaft; both power shift transmissions have a neutral gear position, and one of the power shift transmissions is selected to be engaged in the neutral gear position to achieve single power source input to the transmission system.

[0024] This dual-electric drive system can be powered by an onboard explosion-proof diesel engine or by an underground power grid, using explosion-proof motors for traction. When operating in auxiliary transport adits and main tunnels equipped with overhead wire networks, power is drawn from the underground power grid to the explosion-proof motors, which drive the vehicle, achieving zero emissions of harmful gases. When operating in areas without grid power, such as on the surface or in underground drifts, the vehicle is powered by an explosion-proof diesel engine, fully utilizing the vehicle's maneuverability and flexibility. This dual-powered rubber-wheeled transport vehicle, with its optional explosion-proof motor and diesel engine drive modes, combines the advantages of both electric and diesel drive modes.

[0025] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the internal combustion engine power source includes an explosion-proof diesel engine 2, with a gearbox installed at the rear end. The output end of the gearbox is connected to the input end of the front power-shift gearbox 6 via a diesel engine drive shaft 18. The front output end of the front power-shift gearbox 6 is connected to the input end of the front axle 4 via a front axle drive shaft 17. The electric motor power source includes an explosion-proof motor 12. The output end of the explosion-proof motor 12 is provided with a transition box. The output end of the transition box is connected to the input end of the rear power-shift gearbox 16 via a motor drive shaft 15. The rear output end of the rear power-shift gearbox 16 is connected to the input end of the rear axle 10 via a rear axle drive shaft 9. The rear output end of the front power-shift gearbox 6 is shaft-coupled to the front output end of the rear power-shift gearbox 16.

[0026] The gear positions of the front power-shift transmission 6 and the rear power-shift transmission 16 are interlocked, meaning that one gear is always in neutral at any given time. Gear interlocking methods for the front power-shift transmission 6 and the rear power-shift transmission 16 include, but are not limited to, electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic interlocking. When the explosion-proof diesel engine is operating, neutralizing the rear power-shift transmission ensures the transmission system is disconnected from the explosion-proof motor. When the explosion-proof motor is operating, neutralizing the front power-shift transmission ensures the transmission system is disconnected from the explosion-proof diesel engine.

[0027] When the gear position of the front power shift transmission 6 is in the neutral state, the explosion-proof motor 12 outputs power through the front and rear output ends of the front power shift transmission 6 to realize power transmission between the explosion-proof motor 12 and the front axle 4, and the neutral state of the front power shift transmission 6 is used to ensure the isolation of the vehicle transmission system and the power source of the explosion-proof diesel engine 2.

[0028] When the gear position of the rear power shift transmission 16 is in the neutral state, the output power of the explosion-proof diesel engine 2 is transmitted from the explosion-proof diesel engine 2 to the rear axle 10 through the front and rear output ends of the rear power shift transmission 16, and the neutral state of the rear power shift transmission 16 is used to ensure the isolation of the vehicle transmission system and the power source of the explosion-proof motor 12.

[0029] The rear output end of the front power shift transmission 6 is connected to the front output end of the rear power shift transmission 16 via an articulated transmission shaft 7 and a rotary transmission shaft 8 , and the articulated transmission shaft 7 and the rotary transmission shaft 8 are connected via a universal joint.

[0030] In order to reduce the space occupied by the oil-electric dual power transmission system, the explosion-proof motor 12 is located at the rear end of the rear axle 10, and the rear power shift gearbox 16 is located at the front end of the rear axle 10. The explosion-proof motor 12 and the rear power shift gearbox 16 are located at the same height as the rear axle 10. The transition box is a lifting box 13, and the motor drive shaft 15 passes over the rear axle 10 to connect the rear power shift gearbox 16 and the lifting box 13;

[0031] The gearbox is a torque converter 3. The explosion-proof diesel engine 2 is integrated with the torque converter 3 and is located at the front end of the front axle 4. The front power shift gearbox 6 is located at the rear end of the front axle 4. The rear output end of the front power shift gearbox 6 is aligned with the front output end of the rear power shift gearbox 16. The diesel engine drive shaft 18 passes over the front axle 6 to connect the torque converter 3 and the front power shift gearbox 6.

[0032] The front output end and the rear output end of the front power shift gearbox 6 are on the same shaft inside the front power shift gearbox 6, and the front output end and the rear output end of the front power shift gearbox 6 are always kept in sync; the front output end and the rear output end of the rear power shift gearbox 16 are on the same shaft inside the rear power shift gearbox 16, and the front output end and the rear output end of the rear power shift gearbox 16 are always kept in sync.

An explosion-proof motor 12 is provided at the rear end of the rear body 21, and a rear axle 10 is provided at the lower end of the rear body 21, which is connected to the rear body 21 through a rear leaf spring 14; rear wheels 11 are provided at both ends of the rear axle 10, the hinged part drive shaft 7 is located at the hinge of the front body 20 and the rear body 21, and the rotating part drive shaft 8 is located at the front end of the body 21.

[0036] When the explosion-proof diesel engine 2 is working, the explosion-proof motor 12 needs to be in a stopped state, and the rear power shift gearbox 16 needs to be in a neutral state. At this time, the power of the explosion-proof diesel engine 2 is input into the front power shift gearbox 6 through the torque converter 3 and the diesel engine drive shaft 18. Part of the power transmitted by the front power shift gearbox 6 is input into the front axle 4 through the front axle drive shaft 17, and the vehicle is driven to move through the front wheels 5. The other part of the power transmitted by the power shift gearbox 6 is input into the rear axle 10 through the articulated drive shaft 7, the rotating drive shaft 8, the rear power shift gearbox 16 and the rear axle drive shaft 9, and the vehicle is driven to move through the rear wheels 11 to achieve four-wheel drive.

[0037] When the explosion-proof motor 12 is working, the explosion-proof diesel engine 2 needs to be in a stopped state, and the front power shift gearbox 6 gear needs to be in a neutral state. At this time, the power of the explosion-proof motor 12 is input into the rear power shift gearbox 16 through the lifting box 13 and the motor drive shaft 15. Part of the power transmitted by the rear power shift gearbox 16 is input into the rear axle 10 through the rear axle drive shaft 9, and the vehicle is driven to move through the rear wheels 11.

[0038] By setting the gear positions of the front power shift gearbox 6 and the rear power shift gearbox 16, one of the gear positions of the two gearboxes is always in a neutral state at any time and under any working conditions, thereby ensuring the mechanical interlocking between the two power sources of the explosion-proof diesel engine 2 and the explosion-proof motor 12.
