Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular to a multi-mode driving vehicle with a distributed driving unit. Background Art

[0002] Under the national policy of energy conservation and emission reduction, coal mines have the objective requirements of reducing staff and increasing efficiency, improving coal mine safety and reducing the accident rate, and are in urgent need of achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. Explosion-proof battery rubber-wheeled vehicles have alleviated the problems of "four highs and one low" caused by diesel engine vehicles in coal mines to a certain extent. Due to the difficulty in achieving reasonable configuration of the diesel engine structure and parameters after explosion-proof transformation, coupled with poor ventilation conditions underground and low vehicle speed due to road conditions, there are obvious "four highs and one low" compared with ground vehicles with the same transportation capacity: high exhaust emissions, high noise, high failure rate, high operating costs, and low efficiency; However, under the existing technical state, due to the complex working conditions underground in coal mines, battery vehicles present the pain point of poor adaptability to working conditions. The traditional centralized drive mode has very limited power and torque output of the drive system under long-distance, high-slope, low-speed and high-torque working conditions, resulting in frequent overload of explosion-proof motors and controllers, high heat generation and frequent shutdown protection, and poor power performance of the vehicle. The power transmission route of centralized drive is: battery → electronic control box → motor → reducer → wheel. A longer transmission chain will reduce system efficiency and aggravate noise pollution.

[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-mode drive vehicle with a distributed drive unit to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art and improve the power performance of the whole vehicle.

[0031] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 9As shown in the figure: This embodiment provides a multi-mode drive vehicle with a distributed drive unit, including a vehicle frame 111. Two front wheels, namely a left front wheel 116 and a right front wheel 117, are provided at the front end of the vehicle frame 111, and two rear wheels, namely a left rear wheel 118 and a right rear wheel 119, are provided at the rear end of the vehicle frame 111. A first permanent magnet synchronous motor is arranged inside the front wheels, and a second permanent magnet synchronous motor is arranged inside the rear wheels. Both the front wheels and the rear wheels include a wheel axle 1, a wheel rim 2, a wheel cover 20, and a rubber pneumatic tire 34 provided on the wheel rim 2. The wheel cover 20 is detachably connected to the wheel rim 2 by bolts. The detachable wheel cover 20 facilitates the installation and removal of the first permanent magnet synchronous motor or the second permanent magnet synchronous motor.

[0033] Both the first permanent magnet synchronous motor and the second permanent magnet synchronous motor include a stator assembly and a rotor assembly 35. The stator assembly includes a stator core 16, an armature winding 27, and a stator bracket 3. The stator bracket 3 is fixedly arranged on the wheel axle 1 of the wheel. The wheel axle 1 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body. The stator core 16 is fixedly arranged on the stator bracket 3, and the armature winding 27 is arranged on the stator core 16. Specifically, skewed slots are provided on the stator core 16, and the armature winding 27 is arranged in the skewed slots. The resolver stator of the resolver 22 is key-connected to the wheel axle 1 through a key 23. An elastic retaining ring 24 and a step are arranged on the wheel axle 1 to axially limit the resolver 22. The resolver rotor of the resolver 22 is fixedly connected to the rotor bracket 26. The rotor bracket 26 is fixedly connected to the motor housing, and the rotor bracket 26 is rotationally matched with the wheel axle through a bearing. The resolver 22 is a brushless reluctance resolver, which consists of a resolver stator, a resolver rotor, and a decoding chip. The resolver rotor is separated from the resolver stator without contact. The magnetic flux distribution in the air gap between the resolver stator and the rotating rotor follows a sine (cosine) law. When an excitation voltage is applied to a winding of the resolver stator, a voltage will be generated on the resolver rotor through electromagnetic coupling. The magnitude of its output voltage depends on the relative position in space of the axes of the two windings of the resolver stator and the resolver rotor. The value is maximum when the two are parallel and zero when the two are perpendicular. The voltage value changes sinusoidally (cosinusoidally) as the rotor deflection angle changes. A dedicated conversion chip is arranged inside the resolver 22 for decoding to convert the analog signal output by the resolver into a digital signal. The resolver rotor is connected to the output part of the motor to detect the motor speed and complete the speed feedback function when the motor participates in transmission and needs to feedback the real-time speed.

[0034] The wheel rim 2 is rotationally connected to the wheel axle 1 through a first deep groove ball bearing 5, and the rotor bracket 26 is rotationally connected to the wheel axle 1 through a second deep groove ball bearing 25. A rear bearing cover 21 is also connected to the rotor bracket 26.

[0035] The rotor assembly 35 includes a rotor core 36 and a permanent magnet 14. An explosion-proof cavity 17 is provided in the rotor core 36. A plurality of explosion-proof batteries 13 are provided in the explosion-proof cavity 17. The explosion-proof batteries 13 are fixedly connected to the stator bracket 3, and there is a gap between the explosion-proof batteries 13 and the inner wall of the explosion-proof cavity 17, that is, there is no contact between the explosion-proof batteries 13 and the explosion-proof cavity 17. A magnetic isolation material 19 is laid on the inner wall of the explosion-proof cavity 17 to prevent the magnetism of the rotor 15 from affecting the explosion-proof batteries 13. The motor housing 11 of the dual-rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor is fixedly connected to the rim 2 through hexagon socket head cap screws 6 and washers 7. A first O-ring 4 is clamped between the rim 2 and the motor housing 11. The rotor assembly 35 further includes a water-cooled housing 12 located between the motor housing 11 and the rotor core 36. The rotor assembly 35 is fixedly provided on the water-cooled housing 12. The water-cooled housing 12 is connected to the motor housing 11 through a retaining ring 8, a second O-ring 10 and screws 9. The second O-ring 10 is clamped between the retaining ring 8 and the motor housing 11, and the screws 9 fix the retaining ring 8 on the water-cooled housing 12.

[0036] A controller 33 and a power management unit 32 are fixedly provided on the stator core 16. A plurality of explosion-proof batteries 13 are connected in series and electrically connected to the power management unit 32. The armature winding 27 and the power management unit 32 are respectively electrically connected to the controller 33. A wireless communication module 28 is also fixedly provided on the stator core 16. The controller 33 is wirelessly communicatively connected to the vehicle control unit through the wireless communication module 28.

[0037] It should be noted that the second permanent magnet synchronous motor includes two rotor assemblies 35, namely a first rotor assembly 15 and a second rotor assembly 18. The rotor core 36 in the first rotor assembly 15 is a first rotor core 30, and the rotor core 36 of the second rotor assembly 18 is a second rotor core 31. The armature winding 27 in the second permanent magnet synchronous motor is divided into two independent sub-armature windings. One sub-armature winding corresponds to the first rotor assembly 15, and the other sub-armature winding corresponds to the second rotor assembly 18. By controlling the on-off of the two sub-armature windings through the controller 33, it is possible to control whether the two rotor assemblies work. Only when the corresponding sub-armature winding is energized, the corresponding rotor assembly will be driven to rotate; the two rotor assemblies can work simultaneously or one can work while the other does not work.

[0038] Brakes 29 are integrated in both the front wheels and the rear wheels. The brake 29 includes brake pads, a pressure plate 296, an intermediate housing 292, and end caps 294. The brake pads include friction plates 299 and counterparts 2910. The intermediate housing 292 is located between the two end caps 294, and the two end caps 294 are respectively and sealingly connected to the intermediate housing 292. The two end caps 294 are respectively rotationally connected to the wheel axle 1 through bearings. The moving housing 291 is slidably sleeved on the wheel axle 1. The friction plate 299 is fixedly arranged on the moving housing 291. The counterpart 2910 is fixedly connected to the intermediate housing 292. A pressure plate 296 is also fixedly sleeved on the moving housing 291. A first piston 2911 and a second piston 293 are fixedly arranged on the pressure plate 296. A first oil chamber 298 is formed between the first piston 2911 and the intermediate housing 292. A second oil chamber 295 is formed between the second piston 293 and the intermediate housing 292. And both the first oil chamber 298 and the second oil chamber 295 are located between the first piston 2911 and the second piston 293. An explosion-proof electromagnet 297 is fixedly arranged on the end cap 294. The explosion-proof electromagnet 297 can drive the first piston 2911 to approach the explosion-proof electromagnet 297, and the explosion-proof electromagnet 297 can also drive the second piston 293 to move away from the explosion-proof electromagnet 297. One end cap 294 is fixedly connected to the motor housing 11.

[0039] A plug rod is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 296. The end of the plug rod away from the pressure plate 296 is inserted into the cavity of the end cap 294. A spring sleeved on the plug rod is arranged in the spring chamber. One end of the spring abuts against the inner wall of the spring chamber, and the other end abuts against the plug rod.

[0040] The brake 29 adopts a closed-loop oil-cooled wet brake. The brake pads (counterpart 2910, friction plate 299) are immersed in the circulating oil. The heat of the brake 29 is cooled by the oil, with a long service life and maintenance-free. There are two sets of pistons in the brake 29. One set of small pistons uses the working mode of electric braking and hydraulic release to achieve vehicle parking braking and emergency braking. The friction plate 299 and the moving housing 291 are connected to the wheel shaft 1 through splines and rotate together. The counterpart 2910 is connected to the intermediate housing 292 through splines, and the intermediate housing 292 is fixed to the two side end covers 294 with bolts. Under the action of the explosion-proof electromagnet 297, the small piston moves to the right to press the brake pads to generate a braking torque. When releasing the brake, the pressure oil enters the second oil chamber 295 through the foot brake valve, pushing the small piston to move to the left to release the brake 29. The other set of large pistons uses the working mode of hydraulic braking and electric release to achieve vehicle driving braking and torque control. The pressure oil enters the first oil chamber 298 through the foot brake valve. Under the action of the pressure oil, the large piston moves to the right to press the brake pads to generate a braking torque. When releasing the brake, the foot brake valve acts to cut off the pressure oil, and the large piston moves to the left to return under the action of the explosion-proof electromagnet 297 to release the brake 29. The wet brake 29 shares a set of explosion-proof electromagnet 297 and brake pads (counterpart 2910, friction plate 299), and the brake pads are engaged in the oil chamber. The electro-hydraulic brake 29 is enclosed and installed on one side inside the motor housing 11, and its rotation speed is the same as that of the outer rotor of the motor. The brake 29 is connected to the wheel shaft 1.

[0041] The vehicle frame 111 is provided with a cab 112 and a main control box 115, and the vehicle control unit is arranged inside the main control box 115. The vehicle control unit includes a sensor system, a first controller and a second controller. The sensor system includes a steering wheel angle sensor, a front wheel angle sensor, a brake pedal displacement sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, a pressure sensor, an encoder and a Hall sensor. The steering wheel angle sensor, the front wheel angle sensor, the brake pedal displacement sensor, the vehicle speed sensor, the pressure sensor and the second controller are respectively electrically connected to the first controller. The pressure sensor is arranged in the brake circuit to detect the working pressure of the braking system and feedback the pressure tracking effect. An encoder and a Hall sensor are arranged in each front wheel and each rear wheel. The encoder and the Hall sensor are respectively electrically connected to the second controller. The encoder is fixed at the center hole position of the vehicle wheel hub, and the connecting rod of the encoder is adsorbed on the vehicle body through a vacuum chuck. The Hall sensor consists of a magnetic induction sensing head and a toothed ring. The sensing head is installed on the wheel hub, and the toothed ring is installed on the wheel axle and rotates with the wheel to measure the number of turns of the wheel rotation.

[0042] Refer to Figure 9, the first controller receives the opening of pedal 113 and the steering wheel 114 angle information from the driver model through the steering wheel angle sensor, front wheel angle sensor, brake pedal displacement sensor and pressure sensor, and collects the current vehicle speed information through the vehicle speed sensor. Finally, it calculates the desired yaw moment and the total driving force target value as the control target of the second controller. Specifically, the brake pedal displacement sensor and the steering wheel angle sensor receive the opening of pedal 113 (θ) and the steering wheel 114 angle (δ) information from the driver model, and collect the current vehicle speed v and other state information through the vehicle speed sensor. The first controller finally calculates the desired yaw moment (M) and the total driving force target value as the control target of the second control. In summary, the data detected by the brake pedal displacement sensor is used to study the influence relationship between the electric feedback braking torque and the vehicle braking smoothness and stability. The total braking force demand is obtained by identifying the driver's braking intention through the brake pedal characteristics to ensure the pressure tracking effect. The second controller calculates a reasonable motor output torque, makes a primary distribution based on the driving force of the control target, measures the speed of the explosion-proof permanent magnet synchronous motor through the motor encoder, measures the output current of the explosion-proof permanent magnet synchronous motor through the Hall sensor, and calculates the torque values of the left front wheel 116, the right front wheel 117, the left rear wheel 118 and the right rear wheel 119. Then, a secondary distribution of the driving force based on "fault diagnosis + failure control" is carried out, and finally the output torque of the first controller is effectively distributed to each wheel to achieve the best distribution effect, making the vehicle more stable and reliable during driving.
