Description

A small number of dual-motor hybrid transmission solutions achieve mutual decoupling by adding multiple clutches between the engine, drive motor and generator, but this causes a waste of space and excessively increases the size of the transmission.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4The present invention provides a hybrid three-clutch device, comprising: a support frame 100; a first clutch 1, the first clutch 1 comprising a first clutch part 11 and a second clutch part 12, the first clutch part 11 and the second clutch part 12 are respectively located on both sides of the support frame 100; a second clutch 2 and a third clutch 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the support frame 100, the first clutch 1 is located below the second clutch 2 and the third clutch 3; a first shaft 4, connected to the first clutch 1; a second shaft 5, sleeved on the first shaft 4 and connected to the second clutch 2; a third shaft 6, sleeved on the first shaft 4 and connected to the third clutch 3. The second shaft 5 and the third shaft 6 are both sleeved on the first shaft 4, so that the first shaft 4, the second shaft 5 and the third shaft 6 can be coupled in pairs or all three shafts can be coupled to achieve different transmission modes, solving the problem of limited driving mode and excessive power loss in hybrid vehicles in the prior art.

[0030] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the first clutch part 11 and the second clutch part 12 are symmetrically arranged relative to the frame body of the support frame 100, and the first clutch 1 also includes: a first clutch cavity 13, arranged on the side of the support frame 100; a first clutch friction assembly 14, arranged in the first clutch cavity 13; a first clutch pressure plate 15, arranged on the side of the first clutch friction assembly 14 away from the support frame 100, and the first clutch pressure plate 15 is movably arranged in a direction close to or away from the first clutch friction assembly 14. In this arrangement, the first clutch pressure plate 15 is used to push the first clutch friction assembly 14 to move, so that the first clutch works.

[0031] Among them, the first clutch friction component 14 includes multiple friction plates, the first clutch friction component 14 is divided into a first component and a second component, the first component and the second component are symmetrically arranged relative to the support frame 100, there are two first clutch pressure plates 15, and the two first clutch pressure plates 15 are respectively arranged corresponding to the first component and the second component. Under the action of the first clutch pressure plate 15, the multiple friction plates in the first component and the multiple friction plates in the second component all move toward the direction of the support frame 100.

[0032] In order to drive the first clutch pressure plate 15 to move, the first clutch 1 also includes a first housing 16 and a first piston 17. The first housing 16 is fixedly connected to the first shaft 4. The first end of the first piston 17 is connected to the first clutch pressure plate 15.

When the oil rushes out from the first oil channel 40, the oil has sufficient pressure to push the first piston 17 to move, so as to give power to the first clutch pressure plate 15.

[0033] In addition, a first supporting shell 101 is disposed on the supporting frame 100 and is spaced apart from the first housing 16 , so as to form a first clutch cavity 13 between the first housing 16 and the first supporting shell 101 .

[0034] In a specific implementation, the first clutch 1 also includes: a first reset elastic member 18; a first bearing 19, which is sleeved on the first shaft body 4, and the support frame 100 is connected to the outer ring of the first bearing 19, and the two ends of the first reset elastic member 18 are respectively connected to the outer ring of the first bearing 19 and the first piston 17, and the elastic restoring force of the first reset elastic member 18 pushes the first piston 17 to move in a direction away from the first clutch friction assembly 14.

[0035] When the system receives the engagement command of the first clutch 1, the oil passes through the first oil channel 40 to the first oil chamber 41, pushing the first piston 17 to make the first clutch pressure plate 15 squeeze the first clutch friction assembly 14, and the first reset elastic member 18 is compressed. When the system receives the disengagement command of the first clutch 1, the oil is released, and the first reset elastic member 18 pushes the first piston 17 to move, and at the same time drives the first clutch pressure plate 15 to move in the direction away from the first clutch friction assembly 14.

The oil in the second oil channel 42 pushes the second piston 23 to move, so that the second piston 23 drives the second clutch pressure plate 22 to move. Among them, a third seal is provided between the second piston 23 and the first shaft body 4, a fourth seal is provided between the first housing part 111 and the second piston 23, and the second oil chamber 43 is located between the first housing part 111, the fourth seal, the first shaft body 4 and the second piston 23, so that during the oil circulation process, a sealed second oil chamber 43 is formed so that the oil exerts a force on the second piston 23 to push the second clutch pressure plate 22 to move. The second piston 23 is connected to the second clutch pressure plate 22 through the second thrust bearing 27, so that when the second piston 23 drives the second clutch pressure plate 22 to move, the force exerted by the second piston 23 on the second clutch pressure plate 22 will not be reduced due to the rotation of the second clutch pressure plate 22, thereby improving the pressure effect on the second clutch pressure plate 22.

[0039] Among them, a first protective cover is arranged on the top of the support frame 100, and a second support shell 26 is arranged on the second shaft body 5. The second support shell 26 includes a first shell and a second shell connected to each other. The first shell is connected to the second shaft body 5, and the second shell extends from one end of the first shell away from the second shaft body toward the direction of the support frame 100 to form a second clutch cavity 20 between the first protective cover and the second support shell 26.

During the application process, the second piston 23 drives the second clutch pressure plate 22 to move under the pressure of the oil, squeezing the second clutch friction assembly 21, at which time the second resetting elastic member 24 is compressed, and when the oil pressure is released, the second piston 23 is pushed to move to the initial position under the elastic restoring force of the second resetting elastic member 24, and at the same time, the second piston 23 drives the second clutch pressure plate 22 to move to the initial position.

There is a second angle between the second sheet body and the third sheet body, and the second angle is an obtuse angle. In this way, the elastic restoring force of the second reset elastic member 24 is more easily applied to the second piston 23, wherein the first sheet body, the second sheet body and the third sheet body are integrally formed.

[0042] In the embodiments provided by the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the third clutch 3 includes: a third clutch cavity 30, which is arranged on the first side of the support frame 100; a third clutch friction assembly 31, which is arranged in the third clutch cavity 30; a third clutch pressure plate 32, which is arranged on the side of the third clutch friction assembly 31, and the third clutch pressure plate 32 is movably arranged in a direction close to or away from the third clutch friction assembly 31.

During the oil circulation process, the third oil chamber 45 is relatively sealed to apply sufficient pressure to the third piston 33 to push the third clutch pressure plate 32 to move. The third piston 33 is connected to the third clutch pressure plate 32 through the third thrust bearing 37. During the process of the third piston 33 driving the third clutch pressure plate 32 to move, the problem of insufficient thrust of the third piston 33 caused by the rotation of the third clutch pressure plate 32 is avoided.
