Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dual electric drive reducer design, and in particular to a dual electric drive reducer and a pure electric driving force system and a vehicle having the same. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with increasing consumer acceptance, new energy electric vehicles have continued to mature, and high-performance pure electric vehicles have become a trend. Regarding electric drive systems, initially, only one electric drive assembly was deployed on the front or rear axle, resulting in a two-wheel drive vehicle. This has evolved to include one electric drive assembly on each axle, achieving four-wheel drive capability. Furthermore, models such as the Tesla Model S Plaid and Lucid Air have begun to utilize a central distributed electric drive system, using two motors to drive and control the left and right wheels, respectively. Furthermore, if two central distributed electric drive systems are deployed on the front and rear axles, achieving four-motor drive, the flexible distribution of power across all four wheels can significantly improve power, vehicle handling, and driving stability. Independent control of all four wheels also enables extremely tight turning radiuses, significantly enhancing overall vehicle performance. Distributed electric drive systems are a promising electric vehicle propulsion method.
[0003] At present, for four-wheel drive vehicles that use two sets of central distributed electric drive systems (that is, each axle has a drive system, and each drive system includes two motors and a reducer), for electric four-wheel drive models, one of the front and rear electric drive systems may be in an inoperative state in some cases. However, even in the inoperative state, the motor and reducer in the electric drive system still rotate with the wheels, and the electromagnetic loss of the motor, the oil stirring loss of the reducer gears, the friction loss of the rotating parts, and the inertia loss of acceleration and deceleration still exist. The power saving effect is limited, resulting in a shortened cruising range.
[0004] On the other hand, off-road vehicles need to have good passability and often encounter scenarios where they need to get out of trouble. When the adhesion between the tire on one side and the road is reduced or even completely suspended, traditional fuel vehicles or electric vehicles using a single electric drive cannot independently control the wheels and need to set a differential lock to output power to the high-attachment wheel on the other side. If the above-mentioned distributed drive motor is used for high performance, although the high-attachment wheel can be driven independently, it is difficult for the motor to continuously exert maximum torque when the vehicle is out of trouble. This is because the motor will be overloaded for a short time when it is used under high load, and severe heat will cause damage to the motor. It must be used with limited torque, which often cannot meet the needs of vehicle escape.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an electric drive system that can not only meet the high-performance requirements of pure electric off-road vehicles, but also take into account the cruising range. Summary of the Invention

However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this application thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the accompanying drawings, for the sake of clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to represent the same devices, and thus their descriptions will be omitted.
[0035] Currently, most new energy pure electric vehicles on the market are still primarily designed for comfortable urban driving, with few offering high-performance or off-road capabilities. This is because new energy electric vehicles are often constrained by range and must balance power efficiency with energy efficiency. Vehicles primarily designed for off-road use typically require high power and excellent dynamics, placing even higher demands on energy management when using a four-motor distributed drive system. For electric four-wheel drive vehicles, one front and one rear electric drive system are typically configured as the primary and auxiliary drive systems. When the vehicle's current operating conditions are stable and favorable, the vehicle controller can deactivate or reduce the current of the auxiliary drive motor, leaving only the primary drive motor driving the vehicle, potentially saving a certain amount of range. However, since the auxiliary drive motor and reducer still rotate with the wheels, electromagnetic losses in the motor, oil churning losses in the reducer gears, friction losses in rotating components, and inertia losses from acceleration and deceleration still exist, limiting the energy savings. Therefore, some electric drive reducer products feature a disconnect mechanism that completely disconnects the wheels from the electric drive system when the auxiliary drive is no longer needed, further saving energy. For single-drive electric vehicles, the disconnect mechanism can be located within the differential, allowing only one set of mechanisms to simultaneously disconnect and engage the axle gears on both sides of the vehicle from the differential. However, in a centrally distributed electric drive system, since the two motors and reducers drive the wheels independently, and the reducer itself lacks a differential, two disconnect mechanisms are required on each axle to control the disconnection and engagement of the axles from their respective reducers.
[0036] On the other hand, strong off-road vehicles need to have good passability and often encounter use scenarios that require getting out of trouble. When the adhesion of one side of the tire to the road is reduced or even completely suspended, traditional fuel vehicles or electric vehicles using a single electric drive cannot independently control the wheel and need to set a differential lock to output power to the high-attachment wheel on the other side. If the above-mentioned distributed drive motor is used for high performance, although the high-attachment wheel can be driven independently, it is difficult for the motor to continuously exert maximum torque when the vehicle is out of trouble. This is because the motor will be overloaded for a short time when it is used under high load, and severe heat will cause damage to the motor. It must be used with limited torque, which often cannot meet the needs of vehicle escape.
[0037] In summary, there is currently a lack of an electric drive system that can meet the high-performance requirements of pure electric off-road vehicles while taking into account economy.
[0038] Combine Figures 1 to 9 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present application, a dual electric drive reducer is provided.
[0039] The dual-electric drive reducer includes: a first gear 1, the first gear 1 is meshed with the output gear of the first motor 2; a first connecting shaft 3, the first connecting shaft 3 is arranged inside the first gear 1, the first connecting shaft 3 is connected to the first gear 1 through a first spline 11, the first connecting shaft 3 can move relative to the first gear 1 along its own axis, a first spline groove is provided inside the first connecting shaft 3, the first connecting shaft 3 has a first spline 11 located in a first engagement position in the first spline groove, the first connecting shaft 3 has a first spline 11 moving to a first decoupling position outside the first spline groove, and the first connecting shaft 3 is selectively connected to a wheel on one side of the vehicle in the Y direction; a second gear 4, the second gear 4 is meshed with the output gear of the second motor 5, and the second gear 4 and the first gear 1 are arranged opposite to each other; a second connecting shaft 6, the first The second connecting shaft 6 is arranged inside the second gear 4, and the second connecting shaft 6 is connected to the second gear 4 through the second spline 12. The second connecting shaft 6 can move relative to the second gear 4 along its own axis. A second spline groove is provided inside the second gear 4. The second connecting shaft 6 has a second spline 12 located at a second engagement position inside the second spline groove. The second connecting shaft 6 has a second spline 12 that moves to a second decoupling position outside the second spline groove. The second connecting shaft 6 is selectively connected to the wheel on the other side of the vehicle in the Y direction; wherein the first connecting shaft 3 and the second connecting shaft 6 are coaxially arranged, and the first connecting shaft 3 is provided with a first tooth portion 7 at one end facing the second connecting shaft 6, and the second connecting shaft 6 is provided with a second tooth portion at one end facing the first connecting shaft 3, and the first tooth portion 7 and the second tooth portion are arranged to be meshing.
[0040] By applying the technical solution of the present application, by setting the first connecting shaft 3 to be movable along its own axis relative to the first gear 1, and setting the second connecting shaft 6 to be movable along its own axis relative to the second gear 4, and the first tooth portion 7 and the second tooth portion being arranged to be meshing, the system can enable the first motor 2 and the second motor 5 to work together to improve the maximum torque capacity, and at the same time achieve mechanical decoupling of each connecting shaft and the corresponding wheel to meet the economy and endurance requirements under certain working conditions, thereby solving the problem that the electric drive system in the prior art cannot meet the strong power requirements of off-road vehicles while meeting the endurance requirements.
[0041] In this embodiment, selectively connecting to the wheels means that the wheels can be connected to transmit power or disconnected to achieve mechanical decoupling. The Y direction refers to the width direction of the vehicle.
[0042] Furthermore, the dual electric drive reducer includes: a first output shaft 8, the outer surface of the first output shaft 8 is provided with a first external spline, the inside of the first connecting shaft 3 is provided with a first internal spline, the first internal spline and the first external spline are arranged to be meshed with each other, the first connecting shaft 3 can be arranged to be movable along its own axial direction relative to the first output shaft 8, and the first output shaft 8 is connected to the single-sided wheel close to the first gear 1.
[0043] Furthermore, the dual-electric drive reducer includes: a second output shaft 9, the outer surface of the second output shaft 9 is provided with a second external spline, the second connecting shaft 6 is provided with a second internal spline 13, the second internal spline 13 and the second external spline are arranged to be meshed with each other, the second connecting shaft 6 can be arranged to be movable relative to the second output shaft 9 along its own axial direction, and the second output shaft 9 is connected to a single-sided wheel close to the second gear 4. In other words, the connecting shaft can also slide axially relative to the corresponding output shaft, thereby achieving power decoupling on this side. The connecting shaft can also slide axially relative to the corresponding gear.
[0044] Furthermore, when the first connecting shaft 3 is located at the first decoupling position and the second connecting shaft 6 is located at the second decoupling position, the first tooth portion 7 is engaged with the second tooth portion 7. The first connecting shaft and the second connecting shaft have the same structure.
[0045] The technical solution of this application provides a distributed drive dual-motor reducer, with an electric drive system (dual drive motor + reducer) arranged on the front and rear axles of the vehicle respectively. In other words, a dual electric drive reducer is arranged on the front axle of the pure electric drive system, and a dual electric drive reducer is also arranged on the rear axle. Correspondingly, Figure 7 As shown, the dual electric drive reducer on the front axle is dynamically coupled to the first motor 2 and the second motor 5, respectively, while the dual electric drive reducer on the rear axle is dynamically coupled to the third motor 500 and the fourth motor 600. An execution system (also known as an execution structure) is provided within the dual-motor reducer. This execution system is arranged between the left and right output gears of the reducer (i.e., the first gear 1 and the second gear 4). Under the command of the controller, it can realize three states: disconnection, engagement, and coupling locking, which are used for two-wheel drive energy-saving mode, distributed four-wheel drive mode, and off-road mode, respectively.
[0046] Figure 7 The figure shows the power transmission path diagram of the pure electric drive system in the fuel-saving two-wheel drive mode. Figure 7 Also shown are the reducer 400, the third motor 500, and the fourth motor 600. In the two-wheel drive energy-saving mode, the electric drive system defined as the primary drive on the front and rear axles is in operation, with its two side half-shafts (i.e., the first connecting shaft 3 and the second connecting shaft 6) engaged with the output gears of the reducer (i.e., the first gear 1 and the second gear 4). The electric drive system defined as the auxiliary drive is inoperative, with its two side half-shafts disconnected from the output gears of the reducer. Figure 8 The diagram shows the power transmission path of the pure electric drive system in distributed four-wheel drive mode. In distributed four-wheel drive mode, both electric drive systems on the front and rear axles are in operation, and the half shafts on both sides are engaged with the output gears of the reducer. Figure 9A diagram shows the power transmission path of the pure electric drive system in off-road four-wheel drive mode. In off-road mode, the vehicle detects the adhesion status of the four tires to the road and manually or automatically controls the reducer actuator systems on the front and rear axles, interlocking the two output shafts. This allows the dual motors to combine their power, increasing the output torque on one wheel and significantly improving the vehicle's ability to escape from obstacles.
[0047] Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the structure of the dual electric drive reducer in the differential lock state is shown. In the locked state, the executive motor controls the camshaft to rotate back to zero position. Under the force of the wave spring (i.e., the first elastic member and the second elastic member), the dog teeth (i.e., the first tooth portion and the second tooth portion) on the end faces of the left and right output gears engage with each other, and the left and right output shafts (the first output shaft 8 and the second output shaft 9) will act as a whole to jointly bear the driving force of the left and right motors. At this time, the external spline of the connecting shaft is still connected to the internal spline of the reducer output gear. Therefore, when the left and right drive motors are working, not only can the torque be transmitted to the left and right half-axles of the vehicle respectively, but the half-axles at both ends of the left and right are also rigidly connected and locked. When the vehicle is out of trouble, there is no differential on both sides, so that the vehicle does not lose power due to slipping of one tire, and the two motors can also be properly torque-limited to protect the motors.
[0048] Figure 5 The diagram shows the structure of the dual electric drive reducer in the engaged state. When engaged, the actuator motor controls the camshaft to rotate along the push plate to the middle position. The camshaft pushes the connecting shaft through the push plate and thrust bearing. The thrust and the wave spring jointly act to keep the connecting shaft in the engaged position. At this time, the external spline of the connecting shaft is connected to the internal spline of the reducer output gear. The electric drive system can transmit the driving force to the wheels and output power normally. At this time, both the front and rear electric drive systems are working, which can realize distributed four-wheel drive operation, and each wheel can be independently controlled.
[0049] Therefore, according to the road conditions and usage requirements, the controller of the execution motor (i.e., the fifth motor 300) can issue corresponding instructions, and control the rotation angle displacement through current to keep the connecting shaft in three positions, realizing the three states of disconnection, engagement and locking respectively, thereby realizing the vehicle's two-wheel drive energy-saving mode, distributed four-wheel drive mode and off-road four-wheel drive mode.
[0050] Figure 6 A schematic diagram shows the dual electric drive reducer in the disconnected state. In this state, the actuator motor controls the camshaft to rotate along the push plate to its maximum angle. The camshaft pushes the connecting shaft via the push plate and thrust bearing, compressing the wave spring to its maximum deformation. This fully separates the external splines of the connecting shaft from the internal splines of the reducer output gear. At this point, power is disconnected between the electric drive system and the vehicle's axles, and the auxiliary electric drive system is inoperative and does not rotate with the vehicle.
[0051] Furthermore, the end of the first connecting shaft 3 facing the second connecting shaft 6 has a first flange end face 14 protruding from the shaft neck, and the end of the second connecting shaft 6 facing the first connecting shaft 3 has a second flange end face 15 protruding from the shaft neck, and a limiting space is formed between the first flange end face 14 and the second flange end face 15. The dual-electric drive reducer also includes an execution structure, which includes: a push plate 10, the push plate 10 is located in the limiting space, and the push plate 10 abuts against the first flange end face 14 and the second flange end face 15; the fifth motor 300, the fifth motor 300 is connected to the push plate 10 through the camshaft 16; wherein, in the process of the motor driving the push plate 10 to rotate around its own axis, the push plate 10 can push the first connecting shaft 3 to move along its own axial direction, and synchronously push the second connecting shaft 6 to move along its own axial direction.
[0052] Furthermore, the first flange end face 14 and the second flange end face 15 are coaxially arranged. The push plate 10 is rhombus-shaped and has a long diagonal and a short diagonal. A first groove structure 17 is provided on the first flange end face 14, and a second groove structure is provided on the second flange end face 15. The first groove structure 17 and the second groove structure are arranged opposite each other. The edge of the push plate 10 is located within both the first groove structure 17 and the second groove structure. When the motor drives the push plate 10 to rotate about its own axis, when the short diagonal coincides with the central axis of the first flange end face 14, the first tooth portion 7 and the second tooth portion engage. The engagement of the first tooth portion 7 and the second tooth portion means that when the left and right connecting teeth approach each other, they can engage and rotate synchronously. In other words, a control motor actuator (i.e., the fifth motor 300) is arranged between the two connecting shafts (the first connecting shaft 3 and the second connecting shaft 6), driving the camshaft to rotate a certain angle. The camshaft rotates to three positions, and the slotted push plate pushes the two connecting shafts to three different axial positions simultaneously. Furthermore, a first elastic member 100 is provided between one end of the first connecting shaft 3 located inside the first gear 1 and the inner cavity sidewall of the first gear 1, and a second elastic member 200 is provided between one end of the second connecting shaft 6 located inside the second gear 4 and the inner cavity sidewall of the second gear 4. The first elastic member 100 may be a wave spring.
[0053] Furthermore, a thrust needle roller bearing is provided between the push plate 10 and the first connecting shaft 3. This arrangement can increase the service life of the push plate 10.
[0054] In an optional embodiment, the dual electric drive reducer can be arranged on the auxiliary drive shaft, while the main drive shaft only needs to have two states: engagement and locking, without the need for a disconnection function, which can simplify the structural layout.
[0055] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, a pure electric driving force system is provided, including a dual electric drive reducer, wherein there are two dual electric drive reducers, one dual electric drive reducer is arranged on the front axle of the vehicle, and the other dual electric drive reducer is arranged on the rear axle of the vehicle, and the dual electric drive reducer is the above-mentioned dual electric drive reducer.
[0056] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, including a pure electric driving force system, where the pure electric driving force system is the pure electric driving force system described above.
[0057] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects: providing an electric drive reducer and control method suitable for strong off-road electric vehicles, which has the characteristics and advantages of distributed four-wheel drive, can improve the maximum torque capacity under off-road conditions, and at the same time can achieve the decoupling of the non-drive reducer and the wheels in two-wheel drive mode, better adapt to off-road conditions and flat road conditions, reduce the wear of electric drive components, save energy, and enhance the endurance of off-road electric vehicles. The structure is compact, and only one set of execution control motor system is needed to achieve the disconnection and connection of the two ends of the wheel and the locking function of the half-axle, which greatly improves the flexibility of the vehicle layout.
