[0046] Optionally, the controller is configured to preferentially use the electric motor as a power source when gear shifting.

[0047] In particular, the application further provides a hybrid vehicle comprising the single-motor multi-mode hybrid power system as described above.

[0048] According to the scheme of the embodiment of the application, the engine is connected with the first input end of the planetary gear mechanism, the electric motor is connected with the second input end of the planetary gear mechanism, and the power source device outputs power to the outside through the output end of the planetary gear mechanism, so that the power source device has simple structure and low cost.

[0049] Further, since the number of the engine, the motor, the brake, the planetary gear mechanism and the clutch is one, and the number of the planetary gear mechanism, the brake, the clutch and the motor is less than the number of the corresponding components in the CHS2800 gearbox in the prior art, on the one hand, the same multi-mode switching effect as the CHS2800 gearbox can be achieved under the same attribute design parameters, and the power performance is better than that of the CHS2800 gearbox, and the efficiency is improved, and the fuel consumption is reduced. The reduction in fuel consumption is mainly reflected in the drag loss caused by the extra clutch, brake and the like, and the fuel consumption is naturally greatly reduced when the corresponding components are reduced, and the manufacturing cost and the use cost are also greatly reduced. Since a single motor, a single planetary gear mechanism and a single clutch are used, the overall structure of the single motor multi-mode hybrid power system is small in size and greatly reduced in weight, and the structure can meet the requirements of the transaxle in the transverse and longitudinal structures by changing the arrangement position of the differential, and is suitable for a wider range of vehicle models.

[0050] Further, in the present application, the first driving force of the engine can be transmitted directly through the carrier and the ring gear, and there is no multi-stage transmission of multiple carriers and gears in the middle, the transmission path is short, the meshing gears are reduced, and the transmission efficiency is significantly improved, especially the driving after the clutch or brake is combined is more efficient, and only the drag loss of the brake or clutch, the gear meshing outside the gear and the loss of the differential.

[0051] Further, since there are pure electric mode, engine direct drive mode, parallel mode and power split mode, the switching of multiple modes can be realized, the economy is more optimal, and the working points of the engine and the motor can be flexibly controlled.

[0052] Further, by adopting multiple gears in the transmission device, the control of multiple gears in different modes can be realized, and the number of gears can be set as needed. The more the number of gears, the smoother the gear shifting. When the transmission device adopts three gears, not only can the gear shifting have a certain smoothness, but also the power performance and the economic type requirements can be met, and the vehicle model is widely matched.

[0053] Further, since high gears are used preferentially when the vehicle starts, and the working points of the low gears in the transmission device are controlled according to the vehicle speed and the required torque after the vehicle runs normally, the vehicle can quickly enter the high-speed state after a short stop, and the low gears can be shifted to the low gear state according to the situation in the later period, improving the driving experience of the driver. Moreover, during gear shifting, the motor is preferentially used as a power source, and due to the advantages of the motor, the gear shifting impact of the vehicle can be greatly optimized.

[0072] The single-motor multi-mode hybrid system can realize the following driving modes: pure electric mode, engine direct drive mode, parallel mode and power split mode. Different driving modes can be flexibly switched according to the actual working condition of the vehicle. The pure electric mode is driven by the motor 1 only. In the pure electric mode, the motor 1 is in the working state, the engine 23 is in the stop working state, the clutch 3 is in the combined state, and the brake 2 is in the separated state. The engine direct drive mode is driven by the engine 23 only. In the engine direct drive mode, the engine 23 is in the working state, the motor 1 is in the stop working state, the clutch 3 is in the combined state, and the brake 2 is in the separated state; or the engine 23 is in the working state, the motor 1 is in the stop working state, the clutch 3 is in the separated state, and the brake 2 is in the combined state. The parallel mode is coupled and driven by the engine 23 and the motor 1. In the parallel mode, the engine 23 is in the working state, the motor 1 is in the working state, the clutch 3 is in the combined state, and the brake 2 is in the separated state. The power split mode is that the engine 23 splits the first driving force to the ring gear 6 and the motor 1. In the power split mode, the engine 23 is in the working state, the motor 1 is in the working state, the clutch 3 is in the separated state, and the brake 2 is in the separated state.

[0073] The motor 1 is directly connected with the sun gear 5, realizes the direct output of the power of the motor 1 to the ring gear 6 in the state that the clutch 3 is combined and the brake 2 is separated, the ring gear 6 is connected with the input shaft 10, the carrier 4 is connected with the engine 23, the input shaft 10 outputs the power to the outside through the gear and the synchronizer, and three gear driving modes of different mode combinations (pure electric mode / engine direct drive mode / parallel mode) can be realized.

In the state that the clutch 3 is separated and the brake 2 is separated, the engine 23 outputs the power to the ring gear 6 and the motor 1 through the planetary mechanism, thereby realizing three gear driving modes of power split. The structure can realize the same hybrid and parallel functions as the current CHS2800, can realize the generation of electricity while driving by power split, and can supplement the power performance requirement of the structure. The scheme realizes full function coverage with a lower cost structure and has higher transmission efficiency.

[0074] The following takes the first gear as an example to describe the power transmission path in different driving modes:

[0075] Referring to Figure 2In the pure electric mode: the motor 1 is in working state, the engine 23 is in non-working state, the clutch 3 is in combined state, the brake 2 is in separated state, the first gear synchronizer 20 is combined with the first gear driven gear 19, and the second gear synchronizer 17 is disengaged. At this time, the second driving force output by the motor 1 is transmitted to the input shaft 10 via the sun gear 5, the clutch 3 and the ring gear 6, and then transmitted to the differential 15 via the first gear driving gear 9, the first gear synchronizer 20, the first gear driven gear 19 and the output shaft 16. Figure 2 The second driving force is transmitted to the input shaft 10 via the planetary gear mechanism, and then transmitted to the differential 15 via the first gear driving gear 9, the first gear synchronizer 20, the first gear driven gear 19 and the output shaft 16. At the same time, the driving force is returned to the motor 1 via the sun gear 5, thereby charging the motor 1.

[0076] The engine direct drive mode is divided into two types: one is, referring to Figure 3 , the engine 23 is in working state, the motor 1 is in non-working state, the clutch 3 is in combined state, the brake 2 is in separated state, the first gear synchronizer 20 is combined with the first gear driven gear 19, and the second gear synchronizer 17 is disengaged. At this time, the first driving force output by the engine 23 is transmitted to the input shaft 10 via the planetary carrier 4, the planetary gear 22 and the ring gear 6, and then transmitted to the differential 15 via the first gear driving gear 9, the first gear synchronizer 20, the first gear driven gear 19 and the output shaft 16. Another part is returned to the motor 1 via the sun gear 5, thereby charging the motor 1. Figure 3 The first driving force is transmitted to the input shaft 10 via the planetary gear mechanism, and then transmitted to the differential 15 via the first gear driving gear 9, the first gear synchronizer 20, the first gear driven gear 19 and the output shaft 16.

[0077] The other is, referring to Figure 4 , the engine 23 is in working state, the motor 1 is in non-working state, the clutch 3 is in separated state, the brake 2 is in combined state, the first gear synchronizer 20 is combined with the first gear driven gear 19, and the second gear synchronizer 17 is disengaged. At this time, the first driving force output by the engine 23 is transmitted to the input shaft 10 via the planetary carrier 4, the planetary gear 22 and the ring gear 6, and then transmitted to the differential 15 via the first gear driving gear 9, the first gear synchronizer 20, the first gear driven gear 19 and the output shaft 16. Figure 4 The first driving force is transmitted to the input shaft 10 via the planetary gear mechanism, and then transmitted to the differential 15 via the first gear driving gear 9, the first gear synchronizer 20, the first gear driven gear 19 and the output shaft 16.

[0078] Referring to Figure 5 , in parallel mode: the engine 23 is in working state, the motor 1 is in working state, the clutch 3 is in combined state, the brake 2 is in separated state, the first gear synchronizer 20 is combined with the first gear driven gear 19, and the second gear synchronizer 17 is disengaged. At this time, the driving force of the engine 23 and the motor 1 is coupled, and the transmission path of the output driving force is as shown in Figure 5 , the coupled driving force is transmitted to the input shaft 10 via the planetary gear mechanism, and then transmitted to the differential 15 via the first gear driving gear 9, the first gear synchronizer 20, the first gear driven gear 19 and the output shaft 16. At the same time, the driving force is returned to the motor 1 via the sun gear 5, thereby charging the motor 1.

[0079] Referring toFigure 6 In power split mode, engine 23 and electric motor 1 are operating, clutch 3 is disengaged, brake 2 is disengaged, first gear synchronizer 20 engages with first gear driven gear 19, and second gear synchronizer 17 disengages. At this time, the transmission path of the first driving force output by engine 23 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown by the middle arrow, part of the first driving force is transmitted to the input shaft 10 via the planetary carrier 4, planetary gear 22 and ring gear 6, and then to the differential 15 via the first drive gear 9, the first synchronizer 20, the first driven gear 19 and the output shaft 16. The other part is diverted to the motor 1 via the sun gear 5.

[0080] The working principle of the power transmission path in second and third gears is the same as that in first gear, and will not be repeated below.

[0081] In the aforementioned different driving modes, engine 23 and electric motor 1 can achieve power coupling by engaging clutch 3 and disengaging brake 2. In any gear, clutch 3 can be engaged and brake 2 disengaged, allowing engine 23 to charge electric motor 1, including a parking charging function. Clutch 3 can also be disengaged for power split control. With brake 2 engaged and clutch 3 disengaged, engine 23 can drive directly. Energy recovery during braking and other operating conditions is achieved by electric motor 1.

[0082] The single-motor multi-mode hybrid system may also include a controller (not shown in the figure) that controls the vehicle to prioritize the use of third gear when starting, and adjusts the operating point of the lower gear in the transmission 200 according to the vehicle speed and required torque after the vehicle is running normally. Furthermore, the controller also controls the priority use of the electric motor 1 as the power source during gear shifts.

[0083] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the engine 23 is connected to the first input end of the planetary gear mechanism, the electric motor 1 is connected to the second input end of the planetary gear mechanism, and the power source device 100 outputs to the outside through the output end of the planetary gear mechanism. The power source device 100 has a simple structure and low cost.

[0084] Further, since the number of the engine 23, the motor 1, the brake 2, the planetary gear mechanism and the clutch 3 is one, the number of the planetary gear mechanism, the brake 2, the clutch 3 and the motor 1 and the like is less than the number of the corresponding components in the CHS2800 gearbox in the prior art, on the one hand, not only the same attribute design parameters can achieve the same multi-mode switching effect of the CHS2800 gearbox, but also has stronger power than the CHS2800 gearbox, while the efficiency is improved, and the fuel consumption is reduced. Among them, the reduction of fuel consumption is mainly reflected in the drag loss of the extra clutch 3, brake 2 and the like, and the corresponding components are reduced, so the fuel consumption will be greatly reduced, and the manufacturing cost and use cost will also be greatly reduced. Again, due to the use of single motor, single planetary gear mechanism and single clutch 3, the overall structure of the single motor multi-mode hybrid power system is small in size and greatly reduces the weight, and the structure only needs to change the arrangement position of the differential 15 to simultaneously meet the transverse and longitudinal structure of the gearbox, and is suitable for a wider range of vehicle models.

[0085] Further, in the present application, the first driving force of the engine 23 can be transmitted directly through the carrier 4 and the ring gear 6, and there is no multi-stage transmission of multiple carriers 4 and gears in the middle, the transmission path is short, the meshing gears are reduced, and the transmission efficiency is significantly improved, especially after the clutch 3 or the brake 2 is combined, the drive is more efficient, and only the drag loss of the brake 2 or the clutch 3, the gear engagement outside the gear and the loss of the differential.

[0086] Further, since there is a pure electric mode, an engine direct drive mode, a parallel mode and a power split mode, the switching of multiple modes can be realized, the economy is more optimal, and the working points of the engine 23 and the motor 1 can be flexibly controlled.

[0087] Further, by adopting multiple gears for the transmission device 200, the control of multiple gears in different modes can be realized, and the number of gears can be set as needed. The more the number of gears, the smoother the gear shifting. When the transmission device 200 adopts three gears, not only can the gear shifting have a certain smoothness, but also can meet the requirements of power and economy, and can match a wide range of vehicle models.

[0088] Further, since high gears are preferentially used when the vehicle starts, and the working points of low gears in the transmission device 200 are controlled according to the vehicle speed and the required torque after the vehicle runs normally, the vehicle can quickly enter a high-speed state after a short stop, and can shift to a low gear state according to the situation in the later period, thereby improving the driving experience of the driver. Moreover, during gear shifting, the motor 1 is preferentially used as a power source, and due to the advantages of the motor 1 itself, the gear shifting impact of the vehicle can be greatly optimized.

[0089] Further, due to the participation of the electric motor 1, the system can achieve the stepless speed change function at the appropriate vehicle speed in each gear, i.e. the stepless speed change function is provided in the first gear, the second gear and the third gear.

[0090] Example Two:

[0091] The difference between this example two and the example one is that the first gear synchronizer and the second gear synchronizer in the example one are replaced by the dog clutch.

[0092] Example Three:

[0093] The difference between this example three and the example one is that the brake in the example one is replaced by the one-way clutch, the multi-mode clutch, the dog clutch or the dry clutch.

[0094] Example Four:

[0095] The difference between this example four and the example one is that the number of gears of the gearshift device in the example one is replaced by the second gear or more than or equal to the fourth gear.

[0096] Example Five:

[0097] The difference between this example five and the example one is that the electric motor can be connected with the sun gear through the spline, the gear or the belt drive.

[0098] Example Six:

[0099] The difference between this example six and the example one is that the connection scheme of the two ends of the clutch can be other combinations of any two components of the sun gear, the planet carrier and the ring gear, which are different from the example one.
