Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive powertrain systems, and particularly to a hybrid powertrain system and vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) technology is widely used in new energy vehicles. Hybrid vehicles provide at least two power sources, typically an engine and an electric motor. The most representative hybrid systems include series systems, parallel systems, and series-parallel systems.
[0003] A series drive system typically consists of one engine and two electric motors. One motor acts as a generator, and the other as a drive motor. The engine does not directly drive the vehicle; instead, it generates electricity for the generator and then transfers that electrical energy to the electric motors, which in turn drive the vehicle. Although the engine does not directly drive the vehicle and can always operate in its high-efficiency range, the system efficiency is relatively low due to the multiple energy conversions involved in the power path. Furthermore, because all power is provided by the drive motors, the motors have high requirements and are heavy and bulky.
[0004] Parallel systems can have three drive modes: pure electric, engine-driven, and hybrid. This system typically requires only one engine and one electric motor, with the motor acting as both a generator and a drive motor as needed. In a parallel system, the engine is used for continuous high-speed driving, while the electric motor, used for low-speed driving in urban areas, allows for more efficient power distribution, operating within its respective efficiency range. However, parallel systems forgo the advantages of series systems; the engine cannot always operate at its optimal state.
[0005] Hybrid systems (series and parallel systems) combine the advantages of both series and parallel systems, but their structure is more complex. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hybrid power system with a simple structure that can achieve multiple driving modes and multiple gears.

[0040] Figure 1 This is a simplified structural diagram of the hybrid power system of the present invention.
[0041] For ease of description and understanding, Figure 1 The state shown is for reference, and the left and right directions in the figure are left and right directions.
[0042] See Figure 1This embodiment provides a hybrid power system for use in a vehicle to power the rotation of wheels 900. The hybrid power system includes an engine 100, a first motor 110, a second motor 120, a first dual-clutch transmission 210, a second dual-clutch transmission 220, a first input shaft 310, a second input shaft 320, a first output shaft 410, a second output shaft 420, a first transmission gear set 510, and a second transmission gear set 520.
[0043] The first dual-clutch transmission 210 includes a first drive plate 211 and two first clutches (212, 213) disposed on opposite sides of the first drive plate 211. The two first clutches (212, 213) are separable and can be coupled to the first drive plate 211 respectively. The two first clutches (212, 213) share a first drive plate 211. The two first clutches (212, 213) are disposed opposite to each other so that the integrated structure of the two first clutches (212, 213) is small in size, thereby making the hybrid power system simple and compact in structure, and the overall size of the hybrid power system small, so as to facilitate installation in the limited space of the vehicle.
[0044] The first dual-clutch 210 is configured to disconnect and engage between the first clutch (212, 213) and the first drive plate 211, so that power can be transmitted between the first drive plate 211 and the two first clutches (212, 213).
[0045] The first drive disc 211 is connected to the first motor 110; the first input shaft 310 and the second input shaft 320 are coaxially arranged; two first clutches (212, 213) are respectively connected to the first input shaft 310 and the second input shaft 320 through spline interference fit. The first clutch 212 is connected to the first input shaft 310. The first clutch 213 is connected to the second input shaft 320.

The first drive disc 211 is connected to the central shaft 214 via a spline interference fit, and the first drive disc 211 rotates around the central shaft 214. The central shaft 214 and the second input shaft 320 are coaxially arranged; the second input shaft 320 is an empty shaft, nested outside the central shaft 214, thereby making the hybrid power system structure more compact within a limited space. Specifically, a bearing is provided between the outer circumference of the central shaft 214 and the inner circumference of the second input shaft 320, so that the second input shaft 320 can rotate relative to the central shaft 214. This bearing is a needle roller bearing or a ball bearing, etc.
[0047] The second dual-clutch 220 includes a second drive plate 221 and two second clutches (222, 223) disposed on opposite sides of the second drive plate 221. The two second clutches (222, 223) can be separable and coupled to the second drive plate 221 respectively. The two second clutches (222, 223) share a second drive plate 221. The two second clutches (222, 223) are disposed opposite to each other so that the integrated structure of the two second clutches (222, 223) is small in size, thereby making the power system structure simple and compact, and the overall hybrid system small in size, so as to facilitate installation in the limited space of the vehicle.
[0048] By setting the second dual clutch 220, the two second clutches (222, 223) and the second drive plate 221 are disengaged and engaged, so that power can be transmitted between the second drive plate 221 and the two second clutches (222, 223).

[0050] The engine 100 is connected to a first input shaft 310, and the first input shaft 310 is connected to a first dual-clutch 210 for transmitting power to the first dual-clutch 210. In this embodiment, the engine 100 and the first input shaft 310 are bolted together. In some embodiments, the output shaft of the engine 100 is the first input shaft 310.
[0051] The engine 100 is driven by the first dual-clutch 210, and the first motor 110 is also driven by the first dual-clutch 210, allowing power from the engine 100 to be transmitted to the first dual-clutch 210. The first motor 110 is driven by the first dual-clutch 210 to transmit power to the first motor 110, or to transmit power from the first dual-clutch 210 to the first motor 110. The rotor of the first motor 110 is integrated with the first drive disc 211.

In this embodiment, the rotor of the first motor 110 is connected to the second input shaft 320 via a spline and an interference fit.
[0053] The engine 100 and the first motor 110 can operate independently, thereby transmitting power to the second input shaft 320 respectively. The engine 100 and the first motor 110 can also operate simultaneously, transmitting power from both to the second input shaft 320. The power from the engine 100 can also be transmitted to the first motor 110, causing it to rotate and generate electricity.
[0054] The second motor 120 is an electric generator. The second motor 120 is connected to the first output shaft 410 to transmit power from the second motor 120 to the first output shaft 410; or to enable the power from the first output shaft 410 to be transmitted to the second motor 120 so that the second motor 120 rotates to generate electricity. The rotor of the second motor 120 and the first output shaft 410 are press-fitted together by an interference fit.

[0057] The second dual-clutch 220 is connected to the second output shaft 420; a second transmission gear set 520 is provided between the second input shaft 320 and the second dual-clutch 220 so that the power on the second input shaft 320 can be selectively transmitted to the second output shaft 420; the first output shaft 410 is connected to the second dual-clutch 220; the first transmission gear set 510 and the second transmission gear set 520 have different transmission ratios; the second output shaft 420 is used to transmit power outward.
[0058] The second transmission gear set 520 includes a second driving gear 521 sleeved and fixed on the outer periphery of the second input shaft 320, and a second driven gear 522 fixedly connected to the second dual clutch 220; the second driven gear 522 meshes with the second driving gear 521. The second driven gear 522 is connected to the second clutch 222.
[0059] The second input shaft 320 can be connected to the first drive gear 511 and the second drive gear 521 by spline interference fit, or the first drive gear 511 and the second drive gear 521 can be directly generated on the second input shaft 320.
[0060] The second drive disc 221 is connected to the second output shaft 420 by a spline interference fit. The second driven gear 522 is supported on the second output shaft 420 by a needle roller bearing. The second driven gear 522 is connected to the second clutch 222 by a spline clearance fit.

The first output shaft 410 and the second clutch 223 are connected together by a spline clearance fit. The rotor of the second motor 120 is press-fitted onto the first output shaft 410 by an interference fit. The first driven gear 512 and the first output shaft 410 are connected together by a spline interference fit.
[0064] In this embodiment, a vehicle is also provided, including the aforementioned hybrid power system and wheels 900, with a second output shaft 420 drivingly connected to the wheels 900.
[0065] In this invention, the connection between the first motor 110 and the engine 100 on the first dual-clutch 210 is controlled by opening and closing the first dual-clutch 210, allowing the power of both the engine 100 and the first motor 110 to be selectively transmitted to the second input shaft 320. A first gear set is provided between the second input shaft 320 and the first output shaft 410, allowing power from the first input shaft 310 to be transmitted to the first output shaft 410, or vice versa. A second transmission gear is provided between the second input shaft 320 and the second dual-clutch 220, allowing power from the second input shaft 320 to be selectively transmitted to the second output shaft 420. The opening and closing of the second dual-clutch 220 allows power to be transmitted between the first output shaft 410 and the second output shaft 420.
[0066] The input and flow direction of power are controlled by starting and stopping the electric motor, the first motor 110, and the second motor 120, as well as by disconnecting and connecting the first dual-clutch 210 and the second dual-clutch 220; and the first transmission gear and the second transmission gear have different transmission ratios, thereby enabling multi-gear and multi-mode driving force driving modes.
[0067] The first input shaft 310, the second input shaft 320, and the central shaft 214 are coaxially arranged, with the second input shaft 320 being an empty shaft and fitted around the outer periphery of the central shaft 214, so that the axes of the second input shaft 320 and the central shaft 214 partially coincide, thus making the structure more compact. The first output shaft 410 and the second output shaft 420 are coaxially arranged; the first output shaft 410 is an empty shaft and fitted around the outer periphery of the second output shaft 420, so that the axes of the first output shaft 410 and the second output shaft 420 partially coincide, thus making the structure compact. The coaxial arrangement of the first input shaft 310, the second input shaft 320, and the central shaft 214, as well as the coaxial arrangement of the first output shaft 410 and the second output shaft 420, ensures that the hybrid power system has only two axes of rotation, resulting in a compact hybrid power system structure.

[0069] Based on the above structure, this hybrid power system has a variety of different operating modes.
[0070] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of power transmission in the single-motor, first-gear electric mode of a hybrid system.
[0071] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 The direction of the arrow indicates the direction of power transmission. In single-motor first-gear electric mode, neither the engine 100 nor the first motor 110 operates. The two first clutches (212, 213) of the first dual-clutch 210 disengage from the first drive plate 211. The second clutch 223 disengages from the second drive plate 221. The second motor 120 starts, and the second clutch 222 engages with the second drive plate 221. The power transmission path has one path, and the power transmission direction is as follows: second motor 120, second output shaft 420, first transmission gear set 510, second input shaft 320, second transmission gear set 520, second output shaft 420, drive reduction gear 620, driven reduction gear 630, differential 610, and intermediate shaft 600, and is transmitted to the wheels 900 through the intermediate shaft 600. When the vehicle is traveling at full speed, this system can be driven in single-motor first-gear drive mode.

[0073] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 The direction of the arrow indicates the direction of power transmission. In single-motor second-gear electric mode, neither the engine 100 nor the first motor 110 operates. The two first clutches (212, 213) of the first dual-clutch 210 disengage from the first drive plate 211. The second clutch 222 disengages from the second drive plate 221. The second motor 120 starts, and the second clutch 223 engages with the second drive plate 221.

When the vehicle is traveling at medium to high speeds, this system can operate in single-motor second-gear drive mode, which can reduce the drive speed of the second motor 120, allowing the second motor 120 to operate in a more efficient drive range.
[0074] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of power transmission in the single-motor three-speed electric mode of a hybrid system.
[0075] See Figure 4 , Figure 4The direction of the middle arrow indicates the direction of power transmission.

The first clutch 212 and the first drive plate 211 are disengaged, and the second clutch 223 and the first drive plate 211 are engaged. The second clutch 222 and the second drive plate 221 are engaged, and the second clutch 223 and the second drive plate 221 are disengaged, and the first motor 110 is working.
[0076] The power transmission path has one route, with the power transmitted sequentially through the first motor 110, the second input shaft 320, the second transmission gear set 520, the second output shaft 420, the driving reduction gear 620, the driven reduction gear 630, the differential 610, and the intermediate shaft 600, and then transmitted to the wheels 900 via the intermediate shaft 600. When the vehicle is in medium to high speed operating conditions, this system can be driven in a single motor three-speed mode.
[0077] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of power transmission in the single-motor four-speed electric mode of a hybrid system.
[0078] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 The power transmission direction is shown by the arrow in the figure. In the single-motor four-speed electric mode, the engine 100 and the second motor 120 are not working. The first clutch 212 and the first drive plate 211 are disengaged, and the second clutch 223 and the first drive plate 211 are engaged. The second clutch 222 and the second drive plate 221 are disengaged, and the second clutch 223 and the second drive plate 221 are engaged, and the first motor 110 is working.
[0079] The power transmission path has one route, with the power transmission direction sequentially as follows: first motor 110, second input shaft 320, first transmission gear set 510, first output shaft 410, second output shaft 420, driving reduction gear 620, driven reduction gear 630, differential 610, and intermediate shaft 600, and then transmitted to the wheels 900 through the intermediate shaft 600. When the vehicle is in high-speed operation, this system can be driven in single-motor four-speed electric mode.
[0080] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of power transmission in the first-gear electric mode of a hybrid system with dual motors.
[0081] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 The power transmission direction is shown by the arrow in the diagram. In the dual-motor first-gear electric mode, the engine 100 is not working, while the first motor 110 and the second motor 120 are working. The first clutch 212 is disengaged from the first drive plate 211, and the first clutch 213 is engaged with the first drive plate 211.

[0118] In this invention, the hybrid powertrain system can achieve multiple operating modes, improving the vehicle's power, economy, and high speed. Furthermore, it can achieve four drive modes for a single motor, allowing for effective adjustment of the motor's efficient use as needed, thus enhancing efficiency.
[0119] The single-motor first-gear drive mode is achieved through a gear mechanism around the input shaft, resulting in a three-stage reduction and a smaller, more compact structure. Meanwhile, the single-motor second-gear mode outputs directly through a reduction gear, achieving high efficiency with a single-stage reduction.
[0120] Third, the two motors are not directly connected to the wheel 900 end through the clutch, thus decoupling the motor speed from the vehicle speed. This reduces the maximum motor speed requirement and increases the vehicle's maximum speed.
