The working environment of double-tracked engineering vehicles is generally poor, and the load changes are nonlinear and drastic, which also leads to low fuel efficiency of engineering vehicles and aggravates environmental pollution.

[0003] The steering mechanism is one of the important assemblies of tracked vehicles. The quality of its performance directly affects the steering maneuverability and production efficiency of the vehicle. Therefore, the research on the drive axle mechanism with excellent performance has always been an important topic in the field of vehicle engineering. At present, the mechanical dual-power flow steering mechanism used in the drive system of dual-track engineering vehicles cannot achieve stepless steering, and its adaptability and maneuverability to load are very poor; although the hydraulic mechanical dual-power flow steering mechanism used can achieve stepless steering, its stepless speed range in the high efficiency zone is small and the cost is high. Electric transmission technology can achieve stepless speed change from the lowest speed to the highest operating speed, with high efficiency, eliminating the transmission shaft and transmission, compact and flexible layout, without the vibration and impact of mechanical transmission shifting, the vehicle runs relatively smoothly, and reduces pollution emissions. At present, the research on motor drive axle technology is still not mature enough in overall performance technology, the operation is not stable enough, and the efficiency needs to be further improved.

[0029] The first differential planetary set includes a sun gear 8, a planetary gear set 9, a planet carrier 11 and a ring gear 10. The planetary gear set 9 is meshed between the sun gear 8 and the ring gear 10, and the planet carrier 11 is connected to the planetary gear set 9. The second and third differential planetary sets are arranged in the same manner as the first differential planetary set, and the first and second planetary sets are connected to the same ring gear 10.

[0030] The left end shaft 3 of the driving motor 5 is connected to the coupling 2 , the coupling 2 is connected to the wheel-side reducer through the shaft 27 , and the right end shaft 6 of the driving motor is connected to the sun gear 8 .

[0031] The output shaft 18 of the steering motor 16 is connected to the planet carrier 14 of the second differential planetary set. The sun gear shaft 17 of the second differential planetary set is connected and fixed to the intermediate housing 7 through a spline groove 20. The sun gear 12 is fixed.

[0032] The planet carrier 11 of the first differential planetary set is connected to the planet carrier of the third differential planetary set via a spline shaft 19, and the sun gear shaft 17 and the steering motor output shaft 18 are both hollow shafts.

[0033] The output shaft of the crank locking mechanism 30 is connected to the small bevel gear 29 of the bevel gear pair, and the large bevel gear 28 and the ring gear of the third differential planetary set are an integrated structure, and are connected to the planetary gear set of the third differential planetary set through the ring gear of the third differential planetary set.

[0034] The sun gear of the third differential planetary set is connected to the coupling 26 via the shaft 27 , and the coupling 26 is connected to the wheel-side reducer via the shaft 27 .

[0035] A coupling housing 1 is arranged outside the coupling 2 .

[0036] During the straight driving process, the steering motor 16 is controlled to be in a braking state, and the drive motor 5 performs traction operations. The left end shaft 3 of the drive motor 5 transmits power to the left wheel-side reducer through the coupling 2, and the right end shaft 6 of the drive motor first transmits power to the sun gear 8 of the first differential planetary group. The sun gear 8 and the planetary gear set 9 are meshed, and the planetary gear set 9 drives the planetary carrier 11 to rotate, and transmits power to the planetary carrier of the third differential planetary group through the shaft 19, and then the planetary gear and the sun gear of the third differential planetary group are meshed.
