Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicles, and particularly to an electric drive assembly and an electric vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In the new energy industry, the support forms of the input shaft of the electric drive assembly mainly include four-bearing, three-bearing, and two-bearing support solutions. In the four-bearing support solution, two bearings are arranged on the motor input shaft and two bearings are arranged on the reducer input shaft. However, the four-bearing support solution uses one more high-speed bearing, resulting in higher costs and poor spline centering. In the two-bearing support solution, one bearing is distributed on each of the reducer input shaft and the motor output shaft, resulting in an overly long bearing span and a large deflection at the gear position, which easily causes problems such as NVH. In the three-bearing support solution, the spline centering and cost are better than those of the four-bearing solution, and the deflection of the gear is better than that of the two-bearing solution. However, in an existing electric drive assembly using the three-bearing support solution, the intermediate bearing is axially positioned by a shoulder on the reducer input shaft. Thus, a parking device cannot be provided for the electric drive assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0022] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be understood that expressions such as "including" and "may include" that can be used in the present application indicate the existence of the disclosed functions, operations, or constituent elements, and do not limit the existence of one or more additional functions, operations, and constituent elements. In the present application, terms such as "including" and / or "having" can be interpreted as indicating a specific characteristic, number, operation, constituent element, component, or a combination thereof, but cannot be interpreted as excluding the existence or the possibility of adding one or more other characteristics, numbers, operations, constituent elements, components, or a combination thereof.

[0024] In addition, in the present application, the expression "and / or" includes any and all combinations of the associated listed words. For example, the expression "A and / or B" can include A, can include B, or can include both A and B.

[0025] In this application, expressions including ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" may modify each element. However, such elements are not limited by the above expressions. For example, the above expressions do not limit the order and / or importance of the elements. The above expressions are only used to distinguish one element from other elements. For example, the first user equipment and the second user equipment indicate different user equipments, although both the first user equipment and the second user equipment are user equipments. Similarly, without departing from the scope of this application, the first element may be referred to as the second element, and similarly, the second element may also be referred to as the first element.

[0026] When a component is referred to as "connected" or "accessed" to other components, it should be understood that: the component is not only directly connected to or accessed to other components, but there may also be another component between the component and other components. On the other hand, when a component is referred to as "directly connected" or "directly accessed" to other components, it should be understood that there is no component between them.

[0027] An embodiment of this application provides an electric drive assembly and an electric vehicle having the electric drive assembly. The input shaft of the electric drive assembly (the input shaft of the reducer and the motor shaft) adopts a three-bearing support scheme and can be compatible with a parking device, which is beneficial to the manufacture of electric vehicles.

[0028] Among them, electric vehicles include battery electric vehicles (BEV, Battery Electric Vehicle), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV, Hybrid Electric Vehicle), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV, Plug In Hybrid Electric Vehicle).

[0029] The battery electric vehicle includes an electric motor. Among them, the energy source of the electric motor is the power battery. The power battery of the battery electric vehicle can be recharged from an external power grid. The power battery of the battery electric vehicle is actually the only source of on-vehicle energy for vehicle propulsion.

[0030] The hybrid electric vehicle includes an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. Among them, the energy source of the engine is fuel, and the energy source of the electric motor is the power battery. The engine is the main source of energy for vehicle propulsion, and the power battery of the hybrid electric vehicle provides supplementary energy for vehicle propulsion (the power battery of the hybrid electric vehicle buffers fuel energy and recovers kinetic energy in the form of electricity).

[0031] The difference between a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle and a hybrid electric vehicle lies in that: the power battery of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle has a larger capacity than that of a hybrid electric vehicle, and the power battery of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle can be recharged from the power grid. The power battery of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is the main source of energy for vehicle propulsion until the power battery of the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is depleted to a low energy level. At this time, the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle operates like a hybrid electric vehicle used for vehicle propulsion.

[0032] The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the embodiments of the present application, a battery electric vehicle is taken as an example to illustrate the structure of an electric vehicle.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present application provides an electric vehicle 200, including a power system 201, an electric drive assembly 100, a vehicle controller 203, a motor controller 204, drive wheels 205, and an auxiliary system 207. The power system 201 includes a power battery 2011, a battery management system 2013, and a charger 2015. The electric drive assembly 100 includes a motor 20 and a reducer 10 mechanically connected to the motor 20. The reducer 10 is also mechanically connected to the drive wheels 205 and is used to transmit the power source generated by the motor 20 to the drive wheels 205 to drive the electric vehicle 200 to travel.

[0034] The vehicle controller (VCU, Vehicle Control Unit) 203, also called the powertrain controller, is the core control component of the entire vehicle and is equivalent to the brain of the vehicle. It collects the accelerator pedal signal, the brake pedal signal, and other component signals, and after making corresponding judgments, controls the actions of the lower-level component controllers to drive the vehicle to travel normally. As the command and management center of the vehicle, the main functions of the vehicle controller include: driving torque control, optimization control of braking energy, energy management of the entire vehicle, maintenance and management of the CAN (Controller Area Network) network, diagnosis and handling of faults, vehicle status monitoring, etc. It plays a role in controlling the operation of the vehicle. Therefore, the quality of the vehicle controller directly determines the stability and safety of the vehicle.

[0035] The motor controller 204 is an integrated circuit that actively controls the motor 20 in the electric drive assembly 100 to operate in accordance with the set direction, speed, angle, and response time. It is communicatively connected to the vehicle controller 203. In the electric vehicle 200, the function of the motor controller 204 is to convert the electrical energy stored in the power battery 2011 into the electrical energy required by the motor according to instructions such as gear position, throttle, and brake, to control the driving states of the electric vehicle 200 such as starting and running, forward and reverse speed, and climbing power, or to assist the electric vehicle 200 in braking and store part of the braking energy in the power battery 2011.

[0036] A motor (commonly known as a "motor") is an electromagnetic device that realizes the conversion or transfer of electrical energy based on the law of electromagnetic induction. It is electrically connected to the motor controller 204 and mechanically connected to the reducer 20. Its main function is to generate a driving torque and serve as a power source for driving the wheels 205. In some embodiments, the motor can also convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, that is, be used as a generator.

[0037] Specifically, the motor 20 can be a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) type of motor. The motor 20 can include a stator and a motor shaft, where the stator includes stator windings. The motor shaft can rotate relative to the stator about a central axis. The motor can be controlled by passing a general sinusoidal current through the stator windings. The amplitude and frequency of the current can be changed to control the torque and speed of the rotor. The stator current generates an electromagnetic field, and the electromagnetic field interacts with the permanent magnets of the components acting as the rotor. The electromagnetic field causes the motor shaft to rotate.

[0038] For example, the motor 20 can be a three-phase motor. That is to say, the stator windings can include three separate phase windings. To control the motor, three-phase voltage waves or three-phase current waves are applied to the phase windings. The three-phase waves cause the signals of each phase to be separated by a phase difference of 120 degrees.

[0039] The power battery 2011 is electrically connected to the motor controller 204 and is used to store and provide electrical energy. The power battery 2011 includes, but is not limited to, lead-acid batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, etc. In some embodiments, the power battery 2011 can also include supercapacitors.

[0040] The battery management system 2013 is electrically connected to the power battery 2011 and communicatively connected to the vehicle controller 203. The battery management system 2013 is used to monitor and estimate the state of the power battery 2011 under different working conditions, so as to improve the utilization rate of the power battery 2011, prevent overcharging and over-discharging of the power battery 2011, and thus extend the service life of the power battery 2011. Specifically, the main functions of the battery management system 2013 may include: real-time monitoring of battery physical parameters; battery state estimation; on-line diagnosis and warning; charge, discharge and pre-charge control; balancing management and thermal management, etc.

[0041] The charger 2015 is electrically connected to the power battery 2011 and is used to connect to an external power source to charge the power battery 2011. Specifically, when the electric vehicle 200 is connected to an external power source (such as a charging pile), the charger 2015 converts the alternating current provided by the external power source into direct current to charge the power battery 2011. In addition, the battery management system 2013 is also connected to the charger 2015 to monitor the charging process of the power battery 2011.

[0042] The auxiliary system 207 includes a DC / DC converter 310, an auxiliary battery 320, a low-voltage load 330 and a high-voltage load 340. One end of the DC / DC converter 310 is connected to the power battery 2011, and the other end is respectively connected to the auxiliary battery 320 and the low-voltage load 330. The DC / DC converter 310 is used to convert the high voltage (such as 380V) output by the power battery 2011 into low voltage (such as 12V) to charge the auxiliary battery 320 and supply power to the low-voltage load 330. In some embodiments, the low-voltage load 330 includes low-voltage vehicle accessories, such as a coolant pump, a fan, a heater, a power steering device, a brake, etc. Of course, the auxiliary battery 320 can also supply power to the low-voltage load 330. In addition, the power battery 2011 is also connected to the high-voltage load 340 to supply power to the high-voltage load 340. In some embodiments, the high-voltage load 340 includes a PTC heater and an air-conditioning unit, etc.

[0043] It should be noted that the electronic modules in the electric vehicle 200 can communicate via one or more vehicle networks. The vehicle network can include multiple channels for communication. One channel of the vehicle network can be a serial bus such as a Controller Area Network (CAN). One of the channels of the vehicle network can include Ethernet defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802 standard family. Other channels of the vehicle network can include discrete connections between modules and can include power signals from the auxiliary power battery 2011. Different signals can be transmitted through different channels of the vehicle network. For example, video signals can be transmitted through a high-speed channel (e.g., Ethernet), while control signals can be transmitted through CAN or discrete signals. The vehicle network can include any hardware components and software components that assist in transmitting signals and data between modules. The vehicle network is not shown in Figure 1 , but it can be implied that the vehicle network can be connected to any electronic module present in the electric vehicle 200. For example, there can be a vehicle controller 203 to coordinate the operations of various components.

[0044] It can be understood that the structure illustrated in the embodiments of the present application does not constitute a specific limitation on the electric vehicle 200. In other embodiments of the present application, the electric vehicle 200 can include more or fewer components than those shown, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or have different component arrangements. The illustrated components can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

In addition, the reducer input shaft 13 is supported by the first bearing 30 and the second bearing 40, and the motor shaft 23 is supported by the third bearing 50. In other words, the electric drive assembly 100 supports the reducer input shaft 13 and the motor shaft 23 through three bearings, which is beneficial to the miniaturization and lightweight development of the electric drive assembly 100.

Also, in an emergency, it can cooperate with the service braking device (not shown in the figure) for emergency braking.

[0048] When the parking device 300 does not need to be provided on the input shaft 13 of the reducer in the electric drive assembly 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, a first spacer 61 is sleeved on the second end 133 of the input shaft 13 of the reducer, that is, the first spacer 61 with a longer axial length is used; while in the case where the parking device 300 is sleeved on the input shaft 13 of the reducer, a second spacer 63 is sleeved on the input shaft 13 of the reducer. In this way, the electric drive assembly 100 can be compatible with the situation of setting the parking device 300 and the situation of not setting the parking device 300. Manufacturers can select the spacer according to needs, which facilitates the manufacturing and assembly of the electric vehicle 200.
