[0054] In addition, the application also provides a stepless speed change method based on the stepless transmission of any one of the above, which comprises the following steps:

[0055] Starting the engine to rotate the input shaft of the transmission by the engine;

[0056] In the first stage of the forward gear: controlling the motor to rotate counterclockwise, combining the clutch, separating the reverse gear clutch, the forward 1 gear clutch and the forward 2 gear clutch, so that the carrier rotates clockwise, and realizing stepless speed change by controlling the rotating speed of the motor;

[0057] In the second stage of the forward gear: combining the forward 1 gear clutch, separating the reverse gear clutch, the forward 2 gear clutch and the clutch, controlling the motor to rotate clockwise until the rotating speed is 0, and realizing stepless speed change;

[0058] In the third stage of forward gear: separate the forward 1 clutch, the reverse clutch and the clutch, combine the forward 2 clutch, adjust the motor, and realize stepless speed change;

[0059] In the first stage of reverse gear: control the motor to rotate clockwise, combine the clutch, separate the reverse clutch, the forward 1 clutch and the forward 2 clutch, so that the planet carrier rotates counterclockwise, and realize stepless speed change by controlling the rotating speed of the motor;

[0060] In the second stage of reverse gear: combine the reverse clutch, separate the forward 1 clutch, the forward 2 clutch and the clutch, control the motor to reduce the rotating speed until the rotating speed is 0, control the motor to rotate counterclockwise, and realize stepless speed change.

[0061] The beneficial effects of the technical scheme of the present application are that by designing the tractor mechanical and electrical power stepless speed change device, the problems of stepless speed change of the tractor and low transmission efficiency, complex maintenance, high oil requirement and high use cost of the existing CVT transmission hydraulic speed change mechanism are solved. The use of the motor drive has the advantages of high reliability, high efficiency and reduced energy consumption. The pure electric stage and the mechanical and electrical power hybrid stage are realized, and the purposes of saving oil, easy maintenance and stepless speed change in the interval are achieved.

[0062] Further, in the third stage of forward gear, adjusting the motor includes controlling the motor to rotate counterclockwise or reduce the rotating speed.

[0063] The beneficial effects of the above further technical scheme are that the motor rotating speed needs to be quickly adjusted for speed connection during stepless speed change, at this time the motor needs to be quickly reversed or quickly reduced in speed according to specific conditions, and stepless speed change can be continued after adjustment.

[0064] When the vehicle is running, the electric quantity generated by the generator 15 is partly transmitted to the motor 23 and the other part is stored in the power battery 21. The low-voltage power supply of the whole vehicle is converted from high voltage to low voltage by the power conversion device 18 to supply power to the low-voltage components (i.e. the vehicle electrical components 20) of the whole vehicle. The low-voltage generator of the whole vehicle can be omitted to reduce the use cost.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 2 The relationship diagram of the transmission system vehicle speed change and the motor and the clutch is shown in FIG. 1, the horizontal coordinate is the vehicle speed, and the vertical coordinate is the motor rotating speed, Figure 2 The A position in FIG. 1 is the combination point of the reverse clutch 3, the B position is the combination point of the forward 1 clutch 6, and the C position is the combination point of the forward 2 clutch 7.

[0066] The first stage, forward gear, pure electric stage, assuming that the engine starts to drive the gearbox input shaft 12 clockwise rotation, the carrier and the rear axle through the shaft, assuming that the carrier and the rear axle shaft clockwise rotation is forward for the vehicle, assuming that the gear counterclockwise rotation is negative, clockwise is positive. Control motor 23 counterclockwise rotation, clutch 34 combination, reverse clutch 3 separation, forward 1 clutch 6 separation, forward 2 clutch 7 separation, the first planetary set this time follow, at this time due to the second planetary set using the first double planetary gear 38 and the second double planetary gear 39, and clutch 34 combination, the second ring gear 33 fixed speed is zero, then the carrier 36 clockwise rotation, at this time according to the double planetary gear planetary set characteristic equation n 太 -kn 齿 =(1+k)n 行 , by controlling the motor speed increase or decrease can realize stepless speed change.

[0067] The second stage, forward gear, mixed stage, when the motor reaches the high efficiency point or the motor transmission efficiency decreases or the motor reaches the maximum speed, at this time the forward 1 clutch 6 is combined, the reverse clutch 3 is separated, the forward 2 clutch 7 is separated, and the clutch 34 is separated. At this time the second planetary set is in the follow state and does not output torque. Since the first planetary set is a single stage planetary set, the first ring gear 30 has a negative speed at this time, and the motor connected single planetary set sun gear 29 has a positive speed. According to the planetary gear set characteristic equation: n 太 +kn 齿 =(1+k)n 行 , wherein: n 太 is the sun gear speed; n 齿 is the ring gear speed; n 行 is the carrier speed; k is the planetary gear set characteristic parameter, k = z 齿 / z 太 , that is, K is the number of teeth of the ring gear divided by the number of teeth of the sun gear. At this time, gradually reduce the motor speed to 0, and then increase the motor speed clockwise to realize stepless speed change. Note: When switching from the first stage to the second stage, the speed connection should be calculated according to the planetary gear set characteristic equation to ensure that the carrier speed does not jump. The specific calculation is as follows: assuming that the planetary gear tooth number is Z 行 , the first planetary set sun gear 29 and the second planetary set sun gear 40 have Z 29 and Z 40 teeth respectively, the third gear 5 and the fifth gear 27 have Z5 and Z 27 teeth respectively, the engine speed is n 发 , and the motor speed is n 电 . Since the carrier speed does not change when switching from the first stage to the second stage, the first stage carrier speed is n 行 =n 电n / (1+k1), just switched to the second stage due to the separation of clutch 34, the second planetary row follows, according to the first planetary row planetary gear set characteristic equation: n 太 +kn 齿 =(1+k)n 行 , calculated n 行 =(n 电 -k·n 发 ·Z5 / Z 27 ) / (1+k2), to ensure the planetary carrier speed is constant, that is, n 电 / (1+k1)=(n 电 -k2·n 发 ·Z5 / Z 27 ) / (1+k2), n 发 =n 电 ·[(1+k)·Z 40 / Z 行 -1] / k·Z5 / Z 27 , where k=Z 30 / Z 40 in the first planetary row, finally obtained by switching from the first stage to the second stage to meet: n 发 =n 电 ·[(1+Z 30 / Z 40 )·Z 40 / Z 行 -1] / Z 30 / Z 40 ·Z5 / Z 27 .

[0068] The third stage, when the motor speed changes from negative to positive, and the vehicle speed reaches a certain value, in order to ensure economy, at this time the forward 1 clutch 6 is disconnected, the reverse clutch 3 is separated, the forward 2 clutch 7 is combined, and the clutch 34 is separated. At this time, the second planetary row is in a follow-up state and does not output torque. At this time, due to the larger sixth gear 8 than the third gear 5, the gear ring speed increases, according to the planetary gear set characteristic equation: n 太 +kn 齿 =(1+k)n 行 , where: n 太 is the sun gear speed; n 齿 is the gear ring speed; n 行 is the planetary carrier speed; k is the planetary gear set characteristic parameter. In order to realize stepless speed change, the motor speed needs to be quickly adjusted for speed connection, at this time the motor may need to be quickly reversed or quickly reduced in speed according to the specific situation. After adjustment, stepless speed change can continue to be realized.

[0069] The first stage in the reverse gear, the control motor rotates clockwise, the clutch 34 is engaged, the reverse gear clutch 3 is separated, the forward 1 gear clutch 6 is separated, the forward 2 gear clutch 7 is separated, the first planetary gear set is driven at this time, at this time, due to the reverse action of the first double planetary gear 38 and the second double planetary gear 39 of the second planetary gear set, the planet carrier 36 rotates counterclockwise, and the speed of the control motor can be increased or decreased to realize the stepless speed change of the reverse gear.

[0070] The second stage in the reverse gear, the hybrid stage, when the motor reaches the point of maximum efficiency or the transmission efficiency decreases or reaches the maximum speed, at this time, the reverse gear clutch 3 is engaged, the forward 1 gear clutch 6 is separated, the forward 2 gear clutch 7 is separated, and the clutch 34 is separated. At this time, the second planetary gear set is in a driven state and does not output torque. Since the first planetary gear set is a single-stage planetary gear set, the first ring gear 30 has a negative speed at this time, and the motor-connected single-stage planetary gear set sun gear 29 has a positive speed. According to the characteristic equation of the planetary gear set: n 太 +kn 齿 =(1+k)n 行 , where: n 太 is the sun gear speed; n 齿 is the ring gear speed; n 行 is the planet carrier speed; k is the characteristic parameter of the planetary gear set. At this time, gradually reduce the motor speed to 0, then increase the motor speed counterclockwise, which can realize stepless speed change. Note: When switching from the first stage to the second stage, the speed connection should be calculated according to the characteristic equation of the planetary gear set to ensure that the planet carrier speed does not jump.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited thereto; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement to part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
