Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electric vehicle technology, specifically relating to a multi-motor drive-by-wire integrated system and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the excessive consumption of fossil fuels and the aggravation of ecological and environmental pollution, the energy transition of automobiles has become imperative, and pure electric vehicles have become a research hotspot in the automotive field. Especially against the backdrop of highly integrated and unified automotive electric drive systems, brake-by-wire technology and integrated electric drive axles have attracted much attention.

[0003] Braking-by-wire systems, also known as electronic braking systems, are divided into mechanical and hydraulic types. Hydraulic braking-by-wire systems combine electronic and hydraulic systems, offering advantages such as flexible and compact layout, fast dynamic response, high control precision, and strong braking efficiency, significantly improving vehicle braking performance and compensating for the shortcomings of traditional braking systems. However, due to the involvement of electronic systems, electro-hydraulic braking systems suffer from reliability issues such as brake motor failure. Furthermore, most current braking-by-wire systems only have one drive unit; if the system fails during driving, the vehicle will be unable to brake effectively, potentially leading to a safety accident.

[0004] In traditional automobiles, the drive axle is a mechanism located at the end of the transmission system that changes the speed and torque from the gearbox and transmits them to the drive wheels. However, in pure electric vehicles, the output shaft of the drive motor's reducer can be directly connected to the main reducer, forming an integrated drive unit. This eliminates the need for a clutch, gearbox, and drive shaft, thus achieving more efficient energy transfer.

[0005] As a core component of the drive axle, the differential transmits driving torque to both half-shafts while allowing the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds, thus reducing tire-road friction. However, the differential in a centralized drive axle of a pure electric vehicle is characterized by "differential speed but not differential torque," always distributing driving torque evenly to both half-shafts. This distribution method, when driving on surfaces with poor traction such as ice or sand, or on surfaces with uneven traction coefficients on both sides, restricts driving force to the side with low traction, failing to fully utilize the drive wheels' traction capabilities and resulting in power loss. Furthermore, during cornering, due to load transfer, the outer wheel has greater traction than the inner wheel, allowing it to output greater driving torque. To fully utilize the traction characteristics of the inner and outer wheels, the driving torque of the outer wheel can be increased while the driving torque of the inner wheel is decreased, generating a yaw torque that helps propel the vehicle into corners, making cornering smoother and faster, and increasing vehicle maneuverability. However, due to the "not differential torque" distribution defect of traditional differentials, the vehicle loses optimal control performance, thus reducing driving quality. Summary of the Invention

[0054] Furthermore, the torque-oriented distribution mode of the M2 motor is as follows:

[0055] When the vehicle turns left, the M2 motor drives the rotor to rotate forward and outputs torque. At this time, the dual clutch engages, brake B1 engages, and brake B2 releases. Power is transmitted to the second drive shaft through the first planetary gear mechanism, G3 primary gear, and G3 secondary gear. The power is then transmitted to the third drive shaft through the dual clutch, and then the additional torque T is distributed through G2 primary gear, G2 secondary gear, the second gear ring, the second planetary carrier, and the third planetary carrier. c The torque is transmitted to the left half-shaft and the differential housing; at this time, the resultant torque on the left half-shaft is T. left =T req / 2-T c / 2, the resultant torque on the right half-shaft is T right =T req / 2+T c / 2, due to T eft <T right This facilitates vehicles making left turns; among which T req This is the torque required by the vehicle.

[0056] When the vehicle turns right, the M2 motor drives the rotor to reverse and outputs torque, with the power transmission path being the same as when turning left; at this time, the resultant torque on the left half-shaft is T. left =T req / 2+T c / 2, the resultant torque on the right half-shaft is T right =T req / 2-T c / 2, due to T left >T right This makes it easier for vehicles to make right turns;

[0057] In the M2 motor torque-oriented distribution mode, the M2 motor outputs additional distributed torque to achieve directional torque distribution.

[0058] Furthermore, the torque-oriented distribution mode of the M3 motor is as follows:

[0059] When the vehicle turns left, the M3 motor drives the rotor to reverse and outputs torque. At this time, C1 in the dual clutch is released and C2 is engaged, brakes B1 and B2 are released, and power is transmitted to the dual clutch through the G1 primary gear and G1 secondary gear. The power is then transmitted to the third drive shaft through the dual clutch, and then the additional torque T is distributed through the G2 primary gear, G2 secondary gear, second gear ring, second planetary carrier, and third planetary carrier. c The torque is transmitted to the left half-shaft and the differential housing; at this time, the resultant torque on the left half-shaft is T. left =T req / 2-T c / 2, the resultant torque on the right half-shaft is T right =T req / 2+T c / 2, due to T left <T right This makes it easier for vehicles to make left turns;

[0060] When the vehicle turns right, the M3 motor drives the rotor to rotate forward and outputs torque. The power transmission path is the same as when turning left, and the resultant torque on the left half-shaft is T. left =T req / 2+T c / 2, the resultant torque on the right half-shaft is T right =T req / 2-T c / 2, due to T left >T right This makes it easier for vehicles to make right turns;

[0061] In the M3 motor torque-oriented distribution mode, the additional distributed torque is output by the M3 motor to achieve directional torque distribution.

[0062] Furthermore, the torque-oriented distribution mode of motors M2 and M3 is as follows:

[0063] Motors M2 and M3 together provide additional distributed torque. At this time, C1 and C2 of the dual clutch are engaged, brake B1 is engaged, and brake B2 is released. The power from motor M2 is transmitted to the second drive shaft via the first planetary gear mechanism, G3 primary gear, and G3 secondary gear. The power is then transmitted to the third drive shaft via the dual clutch, and finally distributed through G2 primary gear, G2 secondary gear, the second gear ring, the second planetary carrier, and the third planetary carrier to distribute the additional torque T. c_m2 The power is transmitted to the left half-shaft and differential housing; the power of the M3 motor is transmitted to the dual clutch via the G1 primary gear and G1 secondary gear, and then to the third drive shaft via the dual clutch. The additional torque T is then distributed through the G2 primary gear, G2 secondary gear, second ring gear, second planetary carrier, and third planetary carrier. c_m3 Transmitted to the left half-shaft and differential housing;

[0064] The distributed torque T provided by the M2 motor c_m2 and the distributed torque T provided by the M3 motor c_m3 The sum equals the total demand-distributed torque T. c That is, T c_m2 +T c_m3 =T c ;

[0065] When the vehicle turns left, motor M2 drives the rotor to rotate forward, while motor M3 drives the rotor to rotate in reverse. Motors M2 and M3 provide the total demand-distributed torque T. c The torque distributed to the left half-shaft and differential housing is -T. c The distributed torque on the differential housing is T. c This allows the torque from the left half-shaft to be transferred to the right half-shaft, which is beneficial for the vehicle to turn left.

[0066] When the vehicle turns right, motor M2 drives the rotor to rotate in reverse, while motor M3 drives the rotor to rotate in the forward direction. Motors M2 and M3 provide a total additional distributed torque T. c The torque distributed to the left half-shaft and differential housing is T. c The distributed torque on the differential housing is -T c This allows the torque of the right half-shaft to be transferred to the left half-shaft, which is beneficial for the vehicle to turn right;

[0067] In the torque-oriented distribution mode of M2 and M3 motors, the torque is oriented by coordinating the torque requirements of M2 and M3 motors.

[0068] Furthermore, the conventional braking mode of the M2 motor is as follows:

[0069] The VCU calculates the braking torque required from the M2 motor based on the maximum permissible braking torque and transmits it to the M2 motor for execution. At this time, C1 and C2 in the dual clutch are released, brake B1 is released and brake B2 is engaged. Power is transmitted to the master cylinder through the first sun gear, the first planetary carrier, the worm gear mechanism, and the rack and pinion mechanism. The master cylinder transmits the braking pressure to the brake valve assembly, thereby controlling the brake caliper to brake the wheels.

[0070] Furthermore, the conventional braking mode of the M3 motor is as follows:

[0071] The VCU calculates the braking torque required from the M3 motor based on the maximum permissible braking torque and transmits it to the M3 motor for execution. At this time, C1 engages and C2 disengages in the dual clutch, and brakes B1 and B2 disengage. Power is transmitted to the second drive shaft through the G1 primary gear, G1 secondary gear, and dual clutch. The power is then transmitted to the master cylinder through the second drive shaft, G3 secondary gear, G3 primary gear, first gear ring, first planetary carrier, worm gear mechanism, and gear rack mechanism. The master cylinder transfers the braking pressure to the brake valve assembly, thereby controlling the brake caliper to brake the wheels.

[0072] Furthermore, the conventional braking mode of the M2 and M3 motors is as follows:

[0073] The VCU calculates the braking torque requested from motors M2 and M3 based on the maximum permissible braking torque feedback, and drives motors M2 and M3 to execute the braking torque. At this time, C1 engages and C2 disengages in the dual clutch, and brakes B1 and B2 disengage. The power of motor M3 is transmitted to the second drive shaft through the first gear G1, the second gear G1, and the dual clutch. The power is then coupled with the power of motor M2 through the second drive shaft, the first gear ring, and the first planetary carrier. It is then transmitted to the master cylinder through the worm gear mechanism and the rack and pinion mechanism. The master cylinder transfers the braking pressure to the brake valve assembly, thereby controlling the brake calipers to brake the wheels. In this mode, the braking torques of motors M2 and M3 are coordinated to ensure that they operate in the high-power range.

[0074] Furthermore, the conventional braking mode of the M2 motor and the torque-oriented distribution mode of the M3 motor are as follows:

[0075] When the vehicle turns left, the M3 motor drives the rotor to reverse and outputs torque;

[0076] When the vehicle turns right, the M3 motor drives the rotor to rotate forward and outputs torque. At this time, C1 in the dual clutch is released and C2 is engaged, and brake B1 is released and brake B2 is engaged. The power of the M2 motor is transmitted to the brake master cylinder through the first sun gear, the first planetary carrier, the worm gear mechanism, and the gear and rack mechanism. The brake master cylinder transfers the braking pressure to the brake valve assembly, which in turn controls the brake calipers to brake the wheels. The power of the M3 motor is transmitted to the dual clutch through the G1 first-stage gear and the G1 second-stage gear. The power is then transmitted to the third drive shaft through the dual clutch, and then the total additional torque T is distributed through the G2 first-stage gear, the G2 second-stage gear, the second gear ring, the second planetary carrier, and the third planetary carrier. c The torque is transmitted to the left half-shaft and differential housing, so that the torque on the outer wheel of the curve is greater than the torque on the inner wheel of the curve.

[0077] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The multi-motor brake-by-wire integrated system of this invention improves the reliability of brake-by-wire through the cooperation of multiple motors and solves the problem of "no torque distribution" in traditional differentials. The torque distribution between the left and right half-shafts is flexible and controllable, further improving vehicle maneuverability. Moreover, the integrated system of this invention has multiple operating modes to adapt to complex vehicle conditions. Through the engagement and disengagement of the brakes and clutches, multiple selectable power transmission paths are provided for the system, enhancing its reliability. Simultaneously, the coordinated operation of multiple motors allows it to operate in a high-power range, which is beneficial for energy saving. Attached Figure Description

[0140] The modes are described below:

[0141] Mode 1), Straight-line driving mode: VCU 1 does not receive vehicle braking and steering signals, thus determining that the vehicle is in straight-line driving mode. At this time, the brake-by-wire unit and torque-directed distribution unit are inactive, M2 motor 10 and M3 motor 11 are disabled, and battery 5 supplies power to M1 motor 9; VCU 1 calculates the vehicle's required torque T based on the real-time vehicle speed v. req Then, based on the gear transmission relationship, calculate the required torque T at terminal 9 of motor M1. m1_obj =T req / (i5·i4). The torque request from motor 9 (M1) is transmitted to motor controller 6 via the CAN bus, controlling motor 9 to drive the vehicle. Power from motor 9 is transmitted to the first drive shaft 38 via gears G5 (first stage 29 and G5 (second stage 30)). The first drive shaft 38 then transmits power to the differential housing 31 via gears G4 (first stage 27 and G4 (second stage 28), causing the differential housing 31 to rotate. The rotation of the differential housing 31 causes the upper planetary gear 34 and lower planetary gear 35 to revolve. Since the vehicle is traveling in a straight line, the left half-shaft 36 and right half-shaft 37 rotate at the same speed, and the upper planetary gear 34 and lower planetary gear 35 do not rotate. During power transmission, the third drive shaft 40 idles and does not transmit power. See also... Figure 2 .

[0142] Mode 2), M2 motor torque-oriented distribution mode. In this mode, M3 motor 11 is disabled, and battery 5 supplies power to M1 motor 9 and M2 motor 10. M1 motor 9 receives a signal from the electronic control unit VCU 1 to drive the vehicle. The power transmission method is the same as in Mode 1. To ensure that the torque on the outer half-shaft of the curve is greater than that on the inner half-shaft of the curve, thereby improving the vehicle's driving maneuverability, see Figure 3(a). When the vehicle turns left, M2 motor 10 receives a signal from VCU 1, drives the rotor to rotate forward, and outputs torque T. m2_obj = k2 / [(k2+1)·k1·i2·i3]·T c At this point, both C1 and C2 in the dual clutch 43 are engaged, brake B141 is engaged, and brake B242 is released. Power is transmitted to the second drive shaft 39 through the first planetary gear mechanism, G3 primary gear 19, and G3 secondary gear 20. The power is then transmitted to the third drive shaft 40 through the dual clutch 43, and then the additional distributed torque T is distributed through G2 primary gear 17, G2 secondary gear 18, the second ring gear 23, the second planetary carrier 22, and the third planetary carrier 25. c The torque transmitted to the left half-shaft 36 and the differential housing 31 is -T. c The torque T experienced by the differential housing 31 from the M2 motor 10 is c The resultant torque on the differential housing 31 is T. d =T req +T c The resultant torque of the differential housing 31 is evenly distributed to the left half-shaft 36 and the right half-shaft 37 through the upper planetary gear 34, lower planetary gear 35, left sun gear 32, and right sun gear 33. At this time, the resultant torque on the left half-shaft 36 is T. left =T d / 2-T c =T req / 2-Tc / 2, the resultant torque on the right half-shaft 37 is T right =T d / 2=T req / 2+T c / 2, due to T eft <T right This facilitates the vehicle's left turn. Referring to Figure 3(b), when the vehicle turns right, motor 10 receives a signal from VCU1, drives the rotor to reverse, and outputs a torque of T. m2_obj =-k2 / [(k2+1)·k1·i2·i3]·T c The power transmission path is the same as when turning left, and the torque received by the left half-shaft 36 from the M2 motor 10 is T. c The torque received by the differential housing 31 from the M2 motor 10 is -T. c The resultant torque on the differential housing 31 is T. d =T req -T c The resultant torque on the left half-shaft 36 is T. left =T d / 2+T c =T req / 2+T c / 2, the resultant torque on the right half-shaft 37 is T right =T d / 2=T req / 2-T c / 2, due to T left >T right This facilitates the vehicle's right turn. In the torque-directed distribution mode of the M2 motor 10, the additional distributed torque output by the M2 motor 10 ensures that the torque on the outer wheel of the curve is greater than that on the inner wheel, thus achieving directional torque distribution.

[0143] Mode 3), M3 motor torque-oriented distribution mode. In this mode, M2 motor 10 is disabled, and battery 5 supplies power to M1 motor 9 and M3 motor 11. M1 motor 9 receives a signal from VCU1 to drive the vehicle. The power transmission method is the same as in Mode 1). Referring to Figure 4(a), when the vehicle turns left, M3 motor 11 receives a signal from VCU1, drives the rotor to reverse, and outputs torque T. m3_obj = -k2 / [(k2+1)·i1·i2]·T cAt this point, C1 in the dual clutch 43 is released and C2 is engaged, brakes B141 and B242 are released, and power is transmitted to the dual clutch 43 through G1 primary gear 15 and G1 secondary gear 16. The power is then transmitted to the third drive shaft 40 through the dual clutch 43, and then the additional distributed torque T is distributed through G2 primary gear 17, G2 secondary gear 18, second ring gear 23, second planetary carrier 22 and third planetary carrier 25. c The torque transmitted to the left half-shaft 36 and the differential housing 31 is -T. c The torque T experienced by the differential housing 31 from the M3 motor 11 is c The resultant torque on the differential housing 31 is T. d =T req +T c The resultant torque of the differential housing 31 is evenly distributed to the left half-shaft 36 and the right half-shaft 37 through the upper planetary gear 34, lower planetary gear 35, left sun gear 32, and right sun gear 33. At this time, the resultant torque on the left half-shaft 36 is T. left =T d / 2-T c =T req / 2-T c / 2, the resultant torque on the right half-shaft 37 is T right =T d / 2=T req / 2+T c / 2, due to T left <T right This facilitates the vehicle's left turn; similarly, referring to Figure 4(b), when the vehicle turns right, the M3 motor 11 receives a signal from the VCU1, drives the rotor to rotate forward, and outputs a torque of T. m3_obj = k2 / [(k2+1)·i1·i2]·T c The power transmission path is the same as when turning left, and the torque received by the left half-shaft 36 from the M3 motor 11 is T. c The torque exerted on the differential housing 31 by the M3 motor 11 is -T c The resultant torque on the differential housing 31 is T. d =T req -T c The resultant torque on the left half-shaft 36 is T. left =T d / 2+T c =T req / 2+T c / 2, the resultant torque on the right half-shaft 37 is T right =T d / 2=T req / 2-T c / 2, due to Tleft >T right This facilitates the vehicle's right turn. In the M3 motor torque-oriented distribution mode, additional distributed torque is output by the M3 motor 11 to achieve directional torque distribution.

[0144] Mode 4), M2 and M3 motor torque-oriented distribution mode. In this mode, battery 5 supplies power to motors M1 9, M2 10, and M3 11. Motor M1 9 receives a signal from VCU1 to drive the vehicle, with the power transmission method referring to Mode 1). Motors M2 10 and M3 11 receive a signal from VCU1 and jointly provide additional distributed torque. Referring to Figure 5(a), at this time, C1 and C2 in the dual clutch 43 are engaged, brake B141 is engaged, and brake B242 is released. The power of motor M2 10 is transmitted to the second drive shaft 39 through the first planetary gear mechanism, G3 first-stage gear 19, and G3 second-stage gear 20. The power is then transmitted to the third drive shaft 40 through the dual clutch 43, and then the additional distributed torque T is distributed through G2 first-stage gear 17, G2 second-stage gear 18, second gear ring 23, second planetary carrier 22, and third planetary carrier 25. c_m2 The power is transmitted to the left half-shaft 36 and differential housing 31; the power of the M3 motor 11 is transmitted to the dual clutch 43 through the G1 primary gear 15 and G1 secondary gear 16, and then to the third drive shaft 40 through the dual clutch 43. The additional distributed torque T is then transmitted through the G2 primary gear 17, G2 secondary gear 18, second ring gear 23, second planetary carrier 22, and third planetary carrier 25. c_m3 The torque T supplied by the M2 motor 10 is transmitted to the left half-shaft 36 and the differential housing 31. c_m2 The distributed torque T provided by the M3 motor 11 c_m3 The sum equals the total demand-distributed torque T. c That is, T c_m2 +T c_m3 =T c Based on the power transmission relationship, the required torque at terminal 10 of motor M2 is T. m2_obj = k2 / [(k2+1)·k1·i2·i3]·T c_m2 The required torque at terminal 11 of the M3 motor is T. m3_obj = -k2 / [(k2+1)·i1·i2]·T c_m3 The rotational speed of motor 10 (M2) is n. _m2 The rotational speed of motor 11 in M3 is n _m3 The speed relationship between motor M2 10 and motor M3 11 satisfies n _m2 / (k1·i3)=n _m3 / i1, VCU1 obtains the motor efficiency by two-dimensional interpolation of the motor efficiency map. For the efficiency query function, calculate the total power consumption of motors M2 (10) and M3 (11). Based on the principle of minimum value, the required distributed torque for motors M2 10 and M3 11 under minimum power consumption is obtained. VCU1 transmits the required torque information to the motor controller via the CAN bus, controlling the output torque T of motors M2 10 and M3 11. m2_obj T m3_obj When the vehicle makes a left turn, motor M2 10 drives the rotor to rotate forward, while motor M3 11 drives the rotor to rotate in reverse. Motors M2 10 and M3 11 provide a total additional distributed torque T. c The torque distributed to the left half-shaft 36 is -T, which is transmitted to the left half-shaft 36 and the differential housing 31. c The distributed torque on the differential housing 31 is T. c This allows the torque from the left half-shaft 36 to the right half-shaft 37, facilitating left turns. Similarly, referring to Figure 5(b), when the vehicle turns right, motor 10 drives the rotor to rotate in reverse, while motor 11 drives the rotor to rotate in the forward direction. Motors 10 and 11 provide a total additional distributed torque T. c The torque distributed to the left half-shaft 36 is T, which is transmitted to the left half-shaft 36 and the differential housing 31. c The distributed torque on the differential housing 31 is -T c This allows the torque of the right half-shaft 37 to be transferred to the left half-shaft 36, which is beneficial for the vehicle to turn right. In the torque-oriented distribution mode of M2 and M3 motors, by coordinating the torque requirements of M2 motor 10 and M3 motor 11, they are made to work in the high-power range, which not only achieves the directional distribution of torque but also improves the economy of the system.

[0145] Mode 5), M2 motor's normal braking mode, see [link / reference] Figure 6 In this mode, M1 motor 9 and M3 motor 11 are disabled. Battery 5 supplies power to M2 motor 10. VCU1 calculates the hydraulic braking torque request based on the pedal travel signal and vehicle parameters, and transmits it to motor M2 controller 7 via CAN to drive M2 motor 10 to build pressure for brake master cylinder 46. VCU1 calculates the braking torque request T at the input end of worm gear mechanism 44 based on the pressure request of brake master cylinder 46. obj_braking Based on the maximum permissible braking torque fed back by the motor M2 controller 7, the braking torque T requested by the M2 motor 10 is calculated. m2_obj =T obj_braking / (k1+1), and transmits the data to the M2 motor 10 via CAN for execution. At this time, C1 and C2 in the dual clutch 43 are released, brake B141 is released, and brake B242 is engaged. Power is transmitted to the master brake cylinder 46 through the first sun gear 12, the first planetary carrier 13, the worm gear mechanism 44, and the gear and rack mechanism 45.

VCU1 calculates the braking torque request T at the input of worm gear mechanism 44 based on the pressure request of master cylinder 46. obj_braking Based on the maximum permissible braking torque fed back by the motor M3 controller 8, the braking torque T requested by the M3 motor 11 is calculated. m3_obj =T obj_braking The power is transmitted via CAN to the M3 motor 11 for execution. At this time, C1 engages and C2 disengages in the dual clutch 43, and brakes B141 and B242 disengage. Power is transmitted to the second drive shaft 39 via the G1 primary gear 15, G1 secondary gear 16, and dual clutch 43. The power is then transmitted to the master brake cylinder 46 via the second drive shaft 39, G3 secondary gear 20, G3 primary gear 19, first gear ring 14, first planetary carrier 13, worm gear mechanism 44, and gear and rack mechanism 45. The master brake cylinder 46 transfers the braking pressure to the brake valve assembly 47 through the brake lines, thereby controlling the brake caliper 48 to brake the wheel 49.

VCU1 calculates the hydraulic braking torque request based on the pedal travel signal and vehicle parameters, and transmits it via CAN to motor controllers 7 (M2) and 8 (M3), driving motors 10 (M2) and 11 (M3) to build pressure for master cylinder 46. VCU1 also calculates the braking torque request T at the input of worm gear mechanism 44 based on the pressure request of master cylinder 46 and vehicle parameters. obj_braking And the required rotational speed n obj_brakingBased on the maximum permissible braking torque fed back by motor controllers 7 (M2) and 8 (M3), the braking torque T requested by motors 10 (M2) and 11 (M3) is calculated respectively. m2_obj T m3_obj Total braking torque required T obj_braking The braking torque T is applied by motors M210 and M311. m2_obj T m3_obj satisfy The rotational speed of motor 10 of M2 is n _m2 The rotational speed of motor 11 in M3 is n _m3 The speeds of motors M2 (10) and M3 (11) and the speed at the input end of the worm gear mechanism 44 satisfy the following relationship: n _m2 +k1·i3·n _m3 / i1=(k1+1)·n obj_braking VCU1 obtains motor efficiency by two-dimensional interpolation of the motor efficiency map. For the efficiency query function, calculate the total power consumption of motors M2 (10) and M3 (11). Based on the principle of minimum value, the braking torque required by motors M2 10 and M3 11 under minimum power consumption is obtained. Then, the required torque signal is transmitted to the motor controller via CAN communication to drive motors M2 10 and M3 11 to output torque T. m2_obj T m3_obj At this point, C1 engages and C2 disengages in the dual clutch 43, and brakes B141 and B242 disengage.

Finally, it is transmitted to the master brake cylinder 46 via the worm gear mechanism 44 and the rack and pinion mechanism 45. The master brake cylinder 46 then transfers the braking pressure to the brake valve assembly 47 through the brake lines, thereby controlling the brake caliper 48 to brake the wheels 49.

Brake master cylinder 46 transfers braking pressure to brake valve assembly 47 through brake lines, thereby controlling brake caliper 48 to brake wheel 49. The power of motor M3 11 is transmitted to dual clutch 43 through G1 first stage gear 15 and G1 second stage gear 16. The power is then transmitted to third drive shaft 40 through dual clutch 43, and then the additional torque T is distributed through G2 first stage gear 17, G2 second stage gear 18, second ring gear 23, second planetary carrier 22 and third planetary carrier 25. c The torque is transmitted to the left half-shaft 36 and the differential housing 31, thereby ensuring that the torque on the outer wheel of the curve is greater than the torque on the inner wheel. This mode is suitable for simultaneous braking and torque-directed distribution.

L <SOC<SOC H (SOC H (For the preset battery 5 charging level warning value), VCU1 sends a regenerative braking request to motor M1 controller 6 via CAN, driving M1 motor 9 to generate electricity. The power is transmitted to the differential housing 31 through the left half-shaft 36 and right half-shaft 37, then to the first drive shaft 38 through G4 secondary gear 28 and G4 primary gear 27, and finally to M1 motor 9 through G5 secondary gear 30 and G5 primary gear 29. M1 motor 9 is in the generating state, recovering kinetic energy and converting it into electrical energy stored in battery 5. If SOC ≥ SOC H If battery 5 is determined to be fully charged, then regenerative braking will not be performed.
