Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hybrid tractors, and particularly relates to a tractor hybrid system driven by three motors and a power coupling control method. Background Art

[0002] A tractor is a self-propelled power machine that completes various mobile operations by towing or driving mechanical equipment, and can also be used as a power source for fixed operations. Common tractors usually consist of devices such as an engine, a transmission system, a running system, a steering system, a hydraulic suspension system, a power output system, electrical instruments, a driving and operating system, and a towing system. The power of the engine is transmitted to the driving wheels through the transmission system to drive the tractor to run. In real life, a rubber belt is commonly used as the medium for power transmission. According to functions and uses, tractors can be divided into agricultural, industrial, and special-purpose tractors; according to structural types, they can be divided into wheeled, crawler-type, boat-shaped tractors, and self-propelled chassis, etc.

[0003] Wheeled tractors are usually used for flatland operations, and crawler tractors are often used for forestry operations. This type of tractor has excellent off-road performance and strong climbing ability; among many types of tractors, the tillage boat, also known as the boat-shaped tractor, is an original paddy field power machine in the mechanized operation of paddy fields in China. The tillage machine is suitable for farmers with small fields, narrow ridges, "interspersed" crops, and "interspersed" fields.

[0004] Tractors equipped with agricultural implements such as plows, harrows, and rotary tillers mostly operate in the fields, consuming a large amount of fuel and having poor emissions. The existing hybrid power systems of hybrid tractors often use hybrid systems in which the engine and the motor are connected in series or in parallel. Although the overall driving ability of the tractor can be improved, due to the narrow type of power sources, the power adjustment range is small, which easily leads to power waste. In order to make the engine work in a better range and meet the driving requirements under different working conditions, the present invention proposes a tractor hybrid system driven by three motors and a power coupling control method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Object of the Invention: Aiming at the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a tractor hybrid system driven by three motors. By setting three driving motors and corresponding coupling devices, when the tractor performs different operations, the power coupling method corresponding to the current working condition is automatically selected through preset working condition parameters, meeting various working conditions of the tractor, making the work more stable, improving the utilization rate of the motor at the same time, and avoiding power waste.

[0006] Technical solution: A hybrid system for a tractor driven by three motors, comprising an engine, an alternator, a motor assembly, a battery pack, wheels, a power take-off device and a vehicle controller. The engine and the motor assembly are connected to the wheels and the power take-off device through a power coupling mechanism. The engine is connected to the power coupling mechanism and the alternator through a first clutch and a second clutch respectively. The power coupling mechanism is connected to the wheels through a gearbox, a reducer and an axle in sequence. The alternator is connected to the battery pack through an inverter. The battery pack is connected to the motor assembly through an inverter. The power coupling mechanism includes a first input shaft, a second input shaft and a third input shaft. The first input shaft and the second input shaft are connected by a first transmission gear pair. The second input shaft and the third input shaft are connected by a second transmission gear pair. The motor assembly includes a first motor, a second motor and a third motor. The output ends of the first motor, the second motor and the third motor are connected to the first input shaft, the second input shaft and the third input shaft through a third clutch, a fourth clutch and a fifth clutch respectively. The second input shaft is connected to the first transmission gear pair and the second transmission gear pair through a first synchronizer and a second synchronizer respectively. The third input shaft is connected to the input shaft of the power take-off device through a third synchronizer and a gear pair for gears.

[0007] In the present invention, the engine and three motors are provided to drive the whole vehicle. When the state of the vehicle battery pack is good, pure electric drive is selected to save fuel consumption and reduce exhaust emissions. When the three motors work, two motors drive the wheels and the power take-off device separately, and the other motor selects to perform power compensation according to the current working conditions, so that the tractor can have sufficient power for driving and operation under various working conditions. When the state of the vehicle battery pack is poor, the engine is started to perform power compensation and can also charge the battery pack at the same time, greatly improving the operation duration of the tractor and ensuring sufficient power under various working conditions to meet the operation requirements.

[0008] The vehicle controller controls the start and stop of the motor assembly and the alternator through a motor controller. The vehicle controller controls the power coupling mechanism through a coupling mechanism controller. The vehicle controller controls the start and stop of the engine through an engine controller. The vehicle controller monitors the remaining power of the battery pack through a battery management system.

[0058] Through the vehicle speed sensor, the current vehicle speed is monitored and fed back to the vehicle controller in real time. The collected vehicle speed data is matched with the system to improve the operation accuracy of the tractor during driving, and the power switch is more timely and accurate.
