[0048] Embodiment 1

[0049] In combination with Figure 1 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present application, a hybrid transmission device is provided.

[0050] Specifically, the hybrid transmission device includes: an engine 50, a motor 60, a first planetary gear set, a second planetary gear set, a clutch assembly, and a brake assembly. The first planetary gear set includes a first planetary carrier 11, a first planetary gear 12, a first external gear ring 13, and a first sun gear 14. The first sun gear 14 is connected to the brake assembly. Both the first external gear ring 13 and the first sun gear 14 are connected to the engine 50 or the motor 60 through the clutch assembly. The first planetary carrier 11 is connected to the output shaft 71. The second planetary gear set includes a second planetary carrier 21, a second planetary gear 22, a second external gear ring 23, and a second sun gear 24. The second external gear ring 23 is connected to the brake assembly. The second sun gear 24 is connected to the engine 50 or the motor 60 through the clutch assembly. The second planetary carrier 21 is connected to the output shaft 71. Among them, the second sun gear 24 is rigidly connected to the first external gear ring 13, and the second planetary carrier 21 is rigidly connected to the first planetary carrier 11.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the first outer ring gear 13 of the first planetary gear set is rigidly connected to the second sun gear 24 of the second planetary gear set, and the second planetary carrier 21 of the second planetary gear set is rigidly connected to the first planetary carrier 11 of the first planetary gear set. The first sun gear 14 and the second outer ring gear 23 are connected to a braking assembly. Both the first planetary gear set and the second planetary gear set are connected to the engine 50 or the motor 60 through a clutch assembly. The connection relationships between the two planetary gear sets and between the planetary gear sets, in cooperation with the clutch assembly and the braking assembly, realize multi-gear power transmission of the engine 50, multi-gear power transmission of the motor 60, and combined multi-gear power transmission of the engine 50 and the motor 60, so as to meet the actual working conditions or actual requirements, and is conducive to comprehensively reducing energy consumption.

[0052] As Figure 1 shown, the clutch assembly includes: a first clutch 31, a second clutch 32, and a third clutch 33. The first end of the first clutch 31 is connected to the motor 60, and the second end of the first clutch 31 is connected to the engine 50 through an input shaft 72. The first end of the second clutch 32 is connected to the motor 60, and the second end of the second clutch 32 is connected to the first sun gear 14 through a second intermediate shaft 74. The first end of the third clutch 33 is connected to the engine 50 through the input shaft 72, and the second end of the third clutch 33 is connected to the first outer ring gear 13 or the second sun gear 24 through a first intermediate shaft 73. Among them, the third clutch 33 is connected in series on the input shaft 72, and the third clutch 33 is located between the first clutch 31 and the engine 50.

[0053] It should be noted that the first clutch 31 can be directly connected to the motor 60 and the engine 50. The second clutch 32 can be directly connected to the motor 60, and the second clutch 32 needs to be connected to the engine 50 after passing through the first clutch 31. The third clutch 33 is connected to the input shaft 72, that is, after the third clutch 33 is engaged, the first clutch 31 can be connected to the engine 50. The connection relationships of the first clutch 31, the second clutch 32, and the third clutch 33 determine the power sources of the hybrid power transmission, that is, being driven by the motor 60 alone, being driven by the engine 50 alone, and being jointly driven by the motor 60 and the engine 50, so as to achieve multi-mode driving.

[0054] As Figure 1 shown, the braking assembly includes: a first brake 41 and a second brake 42. The first brake 41 is connected to the second outer ring gear 23, and the second brake 42 is connected to the first sun gear 14, where the first brake 41 and the second brake 42 are independent of each other.

[0055] It should be noted that for the planetary gear set to operate, one of the gears needs to be locked or the rotational speed of one of the gears needs to be fixed. That is, if the planetary gear set is to drive the output shaft 71 to work, the conditions to be met are: one of the first brake 41 and the second brake 42 is opened to lock one gear, or both the first brake 41 and the second brake 42 are closed to fix the rotational speed of one gear.

[0056] Embodiment 2

[0057] Combined with Figures 2 to 18 , according to a specific embodiment of the present application, a control method for a hybrid power transmission device is provided. The control method includes the following steps:

[0058] Step S1: Obtain the first working state of the clutch assembly, where the first working state includes at least one of the following: the first outer gear ring 13 and the second sun gear 24 are connected to the engine 50, the first outer gear ring 13 and the second sun gear 24 are connected to the motor 60, the first sun gear 14 is connected to the engine 50, and the first sun gear 14 is connected to the motor 60.

[0059] Step S2: Obtain the second working state of the brake assembly, where the second working state includes at least one of the following: the first sun gear 14 is in a locked state, the second outer gear ring 23 is in a locked state, and both the first sun gear 14 and the second outer gear ring 23 are in a non-locked state.

[0060] Step S3: Based on the first working state and the second working state, start at least one of the engine 50 and the motor 60 to achieve kinetic energy transfer.

[0061] In the above steps S1 to S3, the power source is selected through the clutch assembly, and the gears of the planetary gear set are locked or the rotational speed of the gears is fixed through the brake assembly so that the output shaft 71 can output normally, so as to achieve multi-power mode transmission and multi-gear transmission, meet the actual working conditions or actual needs, and help to comprehensively reduce energy consumption.

[0062] It should be noted that as Figure 3 shown, the above control method for the hybrid power transmission device can achieve three-gear power transmission of the engine 50 (ENG1, ENG2, and ENG3), three-gear power transmission of the motor 60 (EV1, EV2, and EV3), continuously variable transmission (ECVT), parallel three-gear transmission of the engine 50 and the motor 60 (parallel 1, parallel 2, and parallel 3), reverse gear transmission (R), and parking power generation mode. Figure 3 Among them, B1 represents the first brake 41, B2 represents the second brake 42, C1 represents the first clutch 31, C2 represents the second clutch 32, and A represents the third clutch 33.

[0063] As Figures 4 to 6As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the power transmission path for the three-speed power transmission of the engine 50. Among them, the thickened part represents the power transmission path. The specific control method is as follows:

[0064] Step S311: As Figure 4 shown, when the second outer gear ring 23 is in the locked state and the first outer gear ring 13 and the second sun gear 24 are connected to the engine 50, start the engine 50, and the second planet carrier 21 drives the output shaft 71 to rotate to achieve the first-speed transmission of the engine 50.

[0065] It should be noted that the first brake 41 is opened to lock the second outer gear ring 23 to enable the normal operation of the second planetary gear set; the third clutch 33 is engaged so that the engine 50 drives the second sun gear 24 to rotate; the second outer gear ring 23 is fixed, the second sun gear 24 is the driving gear, the second planetary gear 22 meshes with the second sun gear 24, and the power is transmitted to the second planet carrier 21 through the second planetary gear 22. The second planet carrier 21 outputs the power through the output shaft 71. Among them, the rotation direction of the second sun gear 24 is the same as that of the engine 50, the rotation direction of the second planetary gear 22 is opposite to that of the second sun gear 24, and the rotation direction of the second planetary gear 22 is opposite to that of the second planet carrier 21. Therefore, the rotation direction of the second planet carrier 21 is the same as that of the engine 50.

[0066] Step S312: As Figure 5 shown, when the first sun gear 14 is in the locked state and the first outer gear ring 13 and the second sun gear 24 are connected to the engine 50, start the engine 50, and the first planet carrier 11 drives the output shaft 71 to rotate to achieve the second-speed transmission of the engine 50.

[0067] It should be noted that the second brake 42 is opened to lock the first sun gear 14 to enable the normal operation of the first planetary gear set; the third clutch 33 is engaged so that the engine 50 drives the first outer gear ring 13 to rotate; the first sun gear 14 is fixed, the first outer gear ring 13 is the driving gear, the first outer gear ring 13 meshes with the first planetary gear 12, and the power is transmitted to the first planet carrier 11 through the first planetary gear 12. The first planet carrier 11 outputs the power through the output shaft 71. Among them, the rotation direction of the first outer gear ring 13 is the same as that of the engine 50, the rotation direction of the first outer gear ring 13 is opposite to that of the first planetary gear 12, and the rotation direction of the first planetary gear 12 is opposite to that of the first planet carrier 11. Therefore, the rotation direction of the first planet carrier 11 is the same as that of the engine 50.

[0068] Step S313: As Figure 6 shown, when both the first sun gear 14 and the second outer gear ring 23 are in the unlocked state, the first sun gear 14 is connected to the engine 50, and the first outer gear ring 13 and the second sun gear 24 are connected to the engine 50, start the engine 50, and the first planet carrier 11 drives the output shaft 71 to rotate to achieve the third-speed transmission of the engine 50.

[0069] It should be noted that both the first brake 41 and the second brake 42 are in the closed state, the first clutch 31, the second clutch 32 and the third clutch 33 are all in the engaged state, and the engine 50 serves as the power source. The power of the engine 50 is split through the input shaft 72 and the third clutch 33. Part of the power is transmitted to the first sun gear 14 through the first clutch 31, the second clutch 32 and the second intermediate shaft 74 in sequence, and the other part of the power is transmitted to the first ring gear 13 through the first intermediate shaft 73. In the first planetary gear set, the first ring gear 13 and the first sun gear 14 have the same rotational speed, and the first planetary gear 12 has no self-rotation, so that the first planetary gear set rotates as a whole at the output rotational speed of the engine 50, and the first carrier 11 outputs power through the output shaft 71. Among them, the rotation direction of the first carrier 11 is the same as that of the engine 50.

[0070] As Figure 16 shown, it is the gear composition diagram of four gears, namely ENG1, ENG2, ENG3 and ECVT. Among them, B1 represents the first brake 41, B2 represents the second brake 42, C1 represents the first clutch 31, C2 represents the second clutch 32, and A represents the third clutch 33; S1 represents the first sun gear 14, R1 represents the first ring gear 13, H1 represents the first carrier 11, S2 represents the second sun gear 24, R2 represents the second ring gear 23, and H1 represents the second carrier 21; EM represents the motor 60, and ENG represents the engine 50. The first-gear transmission (ENG1) of the engine 50: The power is transmitted from A to H2, and the rotational speed connection line is from A (maximum rotational speed) to R2 (rotational speed is 0); The second-gear transmission (ENG2) of the engine 50: The power is transmitted from A to H1, and the rotational speed connection line is from A (maximum rotational speed) to S1 (rotational speed is 0); The third-gear transmission (ENG3) of the engine 50: The power is transmitted from A to H1, and the rotational speed connection line is from A (maximum rotational speed) to C1, C2 (rotational speed remains unchanged). It can be seen that the rotational speeds of ENG1, ENG2 and ENG3 increase in sequence.

[0071] As Figures 7 to 9 shown, it is the schematic diagram of the power transmission path of the three-gear power transmission of the motor 60. Among them, the thick lines represent the power transmission paths, and the specific control method is as follows:

[0072] Step S321: As Figure 7 shown, when the second ring gear 23 is in the locked state and the first ring gear 13 and the second sun gear 24 are connected to the motor 60, the motor 60 is turned on, and the second carrier 21 drives the output shaft 71 to rotate to achieve the first-gear transmission of the motor 60.

[0073] It should be noted that the first brake 41 is opened to lock the second external gear ring 23, enabling the normal operation of the second planetary gear set; the first clutch 31 is engaged so that the motor 60 drives the second sun gear 24 to rotate; the second external gear ring 23 is fixed, the second sun gear 24 is the driving gear, the second planetary gear 22 meshes with the second sun gear 24, and the power is transmitted to the second planetary carrier 21 through the second planetary gear 22. The second planetary carrier 21 outputs the power through the output shaft 71. Among them, the rotation direction of the second sun gear 24 is the same as that of the motor 60, the rotation direction of the second planetary gear 22 is opposite to that of the second sun gear 24, and the rotation direction of the second planetary gear 22 is opposite to that of the second planetary carrier 21. Therefore, the rotation direction of the second planetary carrier 21 is the same as that of the motor 60.

[0074] Step S322: As Figure 8 shown, when the first sun gear 14 is in the locked state and the first external gear ring 13 and the second sun gear 24 are connected to the motor 60, the motor 60 is turned on, and the first planetary carrier 11 drives the output shaft 71 to rotate to achieve the second gear transmission of the motor 60.

[0075] It should be noted that the second brake 42 is opened to lock the first sun gear 14, enabling the normal operation of the first planetary gear set; the first clutch 31 is engaged so that the motor 60 drives the first external gear ring 13 to rotate; the first sun gear 14 is fixed, the first external gear ring 13 is the driving gear, the first external gear ring 13 meshes with the first planetary gear 12, and the power is transmitted to the first planetary carrier 11 through the first planetary gear 12. The first planetary carrier 11 outputs the power through the output shaft 71. Among them, the rotation direction of the first external gear ring 13 is the same as that of the motor 60, the rotation direction of the first external gear ring 13 is opposite to that of the first planetary gear 12, and the rotation direction of the first planetary gear 12 is opposite to that of the first planetary carrier 11. Therefore, the rotation direction of the first planetary carrier 11 is the same as that of the motor 60.

[0076] Step S323: As Figure 9 shown, when both the first sun gear 14 and the second external gear ring 23 are in the unlocked state, the first sun gear 14 is connected to the motor 60, and the first external gear ring 13 and the second sun gear 24 are connected to the motor 60, the motor 60 is turned on, and the first planetary carrier 11 drives the output shaft 71 to rotate to achieve the third gear transmission of the motor 60.

[0077] It should be noted that both the first brake 41 and the second brake 42 are in the closed state, both the first clutch 31 and the second clutch 32 are in the engaged state, and the motor 60 serves as the power source. The power of the motor 60 is split. A part of the power is transmitted to the first outer gear ring 13 through the first clutch 31 and the first intermediate shaft 73 in sequence, and another part of the power is transmitted to the first sun gear 14 through the second clutch 32 and the second intermediate shaft 74. In the first planetary gear set, the first outer gear ring 13 and the first sun gear 14 have the same rotational speed, and the first planetary gear 12 has no self-rotation, so that the first planetary gear set rotates as a whole, and the rotational speed is the output rotational speed of the motor 60. The first planetary carrier 11 outputs power through the output shaft 71. Among them, the rotational direction of the first planetary carrier 11 is the same as that of the motor 60.

[0078] As Figure 17 shown, it is a gear composition diagram of four gears, namely EV1, EV2, EV3, and R. Among them, B1 represents the first brake 41, B2 represents the second brake 42, C1 represents the first clutch 31, C2 represents the second clutch 32, and A represents the third clutch 33; S1 represents the first sun gear 14, R1 represents the first outer gear ring 13, H1 represents the first planetary carrier 11, S2 represents the second sun gear 24, R2 represents the second outer gear ring 23, and H1 represents the second planetary carrier 21; EM represents the motor 60, and ENG represents the engine 50. The first gear transmission (EV1) of the motor 60: The power is transmitted from C1 to H2, and the rotational speed connection line is from C1 (maximum rotational speed) to R2 (rotational speed is 0); The second gear transmission (EV2) of the motor 60: The power is transmitted from C1 to H1, and the rotational speed connection line is from C1 (maximum rotational speed) to S1 (rotational speed is 0); The third gear transmission (EV3) of the motor 60: The power is transmitted from C1 to H1, and the rotational speed connection line is from C1 (maximum rotational speed) to C2 (maximum rotational speed). It can be seen that the rotational speeds of EV1, EV2, and EV3 increase in sequence.

[0079] As Figures 10 to 12 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the power transmission path of the parallel three-gear power transmission of the motor 60 and the engine 50. Among them, the thick lines represent the power transmission paths, and the specific control method is as follows:

[0080] Step S331: As Figure 10 shown, when the second outer gear ring 23 is in the locked state and the first outer gear ring 13 and the second sun gear 24 are simultaneously connected to the motor 60 and the engine 50, the motor 60 and the engine 50 are started simultaneously, and the second planetary carrier 21 drives the output shaft 71 to rotate to achieve parallel first gear transmission.

[0081] It should be noted that in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the first brake 41 is opened, the first clutch 31 is engaged, and the third clutch 33 is engaged. The power of the engine 50 is transmitted to the second sun gear 24 via the third clutch 33 and the first intermediate shaft 73, and the power of the motor 60 is transmitted to the second sun gear 24 via the first clutch 31 and the first intermediate shaft 73. That is, the power of the engine 50 and the power of the motor 60 are in parallel drive at the second sun gear 24. The total power is transmitted to the second planet carrier 21 via the second planet gear 22, and the second planet carrier 21 outputs the power via the output shaft 71. Among them, the rotation direction of the second planet carrier 21 is the same as that of the engine 50 and the motor 60.

[0082] Step S332: As Figure 11 shown, when the first sun gear 14 is in the locked state and the first outer gear ring 13 and the second sun gear 24 are simultaneously connected to the motor 60 and the engine 50, the motor 60 and the engine 50 are simultaneously started, and the first planet carrier 11 drives the output shaft 71 to rotate to achieve parallel two-gear drive.

[0083] It should be noted that in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 8 shown, the second brake 42 is opened, the first clutch 31 is engaged, and the third clutch 33 is engaged. The power of the engine 50 is transmitted to the first outer gear ring 13 via the third clutch 33, and the power of the motor 60 is transmitted to the first outer gear ring 13 via the first clutch 31. That is, the power of the engine 50 and the power of the motor 60 are in parallel drive at the first outer gear ring 13. The total power is transmitted to the first planet carrier 11 via the first planet gear 12, and the first planet carrier 11 outputs the power via the output shaft 71. Among them, the rotation direction of the first planet carrier 11 is the same as that of the engine 50 and the motor 60.

[0084] Step S333: As Figure 12 shown, when the first sun gear 14 and the second outer gear ring 23 are both in the unlocked state, the first sun gear 14 is simultaneously connected to the motor 60 and the engine 50, and the first outer gear ring 13 and the second sun gear 24 are simultaneously connected to the motor 60 and the engine 50, the motor 60 and the engine 50 are simultaneously started, and the first planet carrier 11 drives the output shaft 71 to rotate to achieve parallel three-gear drive.

[0085] It should be noted that in combination with Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown in the figure, both the first brake 41 and the second brake 42 are in the closed state, and the first clutch 31, the second clutch 32, and the third clutch 33 are all in the engaged state. A part of the power of the engine 50 is transmitted to the first sun gear 14 through the first clutch 31, the second clutch 32, and the second intermediate shaft 74. A part of the power of the motor 60 is transmitted to the first sun gear 14 through the second clutch 32 and the second intermediate shaft 74. Another part of the power of the engine 50 is transmitted to the first external gear ring 13 through the first intermediate shaft 73. Another part of the power of the motor 60 is sequentially transmitted to the first external gear ring 13 through the first clutch 31 and the first intermediate shaft 73. In the first planetary gear set, the rotational speeds of the first external gear ring 13 and the first sun gear 14 are the same, and the first planetary gear 12 has no self-rotation, so that the first planetary gear set rotates as a whole, and the rotational speed is the total output rotational speed of the motor 60 and the engine 50. The first planetary carrier 11 outputs power through the output shaft 71. Among them, the rotational direction of the first planetary carrier 11 is the same as that of the motor 60 and the engine 50.

[0086] As Figure 18 shown, it is a gear composition diagram of three gears, namely parallel 1, parallel 2, and parallel 3. Among them, B1 represents the first brake 41, B2 represents the second brake 42, C1 represents the first clutch 31, C2 represents the second clutch 32, and A represents the third clutch 33; S1 represents the first sun gear 14, R1 represents the first external gear ring 13, H1 represents the first planetary carrier 11, S2 represents the second sun gear 24, R2 represents the second external gear ring 23, and H1 represents the second planetary carrier 21; EM represents the motor 60, and ENG represents the engine 50. Parallel 1 gear transmission: The power is transmitted from A / C1 to H2, and the rotational speed connection line is from A / C1 (maximum rotational speed) to R2 (rotational speed is 0); Parallel 2 gear transmission: The power is transmitted from A / C1 to H1, and the rotational speed connection line is from A / C1 (maximum rotational speed) to S1 (rotational speed is 0); Parallel 3 gear transmission: The power is transmitted from C1 / A to H1, and the rotational speed connection line is from A / C1 (maximum rotational speed) to C1 / C2 (maximum rotational speed). It can be seen that the rotational speeds of parallel 1, parallel 2, and parallel 3 increase in sequence.

[0087] As Figure 13 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the power transmission path of continuously variable transmission. Among them, the thickened part is the power transmission path, and the specific control method is as follows:

[0088] When both the first sun gear 14 and the second external gear ring 23 are in the unlocked state, the first sun gear 14 is connected to the motor 60, and the first external gear ring 13 and the second sun gear 24 are connected to the engine 50, the motor 60 and the engine 50 are started simultaneously, and the first planetary carrier 11 drives the output shaft 71 to rotate to achieve continuously variable transmission.

[0089] It should be noted that when the second clutch 32 is engaged and the third clutch 33 is engaged, the power of the engine 50 is transmitted to the first external gear ring 13 via the third clutch 33 and the first intermediate shaft 73, and the power of the motor 60 is transmitted to the first sun gear 14 via the second clutch 32 and the second intermediate shaft 74. The power of the engine 50 and the power of the motor 60 are coupled on the first planetary gear set, and the total power is output by the first planetary carrier 11.

[0090] As Figure 16 shown, it is a gear constitution diagram of four gears, namely ENG1, ENG2, ENG3 and ECVT. Among them, B1 represents the first brake 41, B2 represents the second brake 42, C1 represents the first clutch 31, C2 represents the second clutch 32, and A represents the third clutch 33; S1 represents the first sun gear 14, R1 represents the first external gear ring 13, H1 represents the first planetary carrier 11, S2 represents the second sun gear 24, R2 represents the second external gear ring 23, and H1 represents the second planetary carrier 21; EM represents the motor 60, and ENG represents the engine 50. Continuously variable transmission (ECVT): The power is transmitted from C2 / A to H1, the speed connection line is from C2 to A, and the power is coupled bidirectionally.

[0091] As Figure 14 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the power transmission path for reverse gear power transmission. Among them, the thick line represents the power transmission path, and the specific control method is as follows:

[0092] When the second external gear ring 23 is in the locked state and the first sun gear 14 is connected to the motor 60, the motor 60 is turned on, and the first planetary carrier 11 and the second planetary carrier 21 drive the output shaft 71 to rotate simultaneously to achieve reverse gear transmission.

[0093] It should be noted that when the second clutch 32 is engaged and the first brake 41 is turned on, the power of the motor 60 is transmitted to the first sun gear 14 via the second clutch 32. The first sun gear 14 rotates forward, the rotational speed of the second external gear ring 23 is 0, the first sun gear 14 meshes with the first planetary gear 12, the first planetary gear 12 meshes with the first external gear ring 13, the first external gear ring 13 is rigidly integrated with the second sun gear 24, the second sun gear 24 meshes with the second planetary gear 22, the first planetary carrier 11 is rigidly integrated with the second planetary carrier 21, and under the interaction of the first planetary gear 12 and the second planetary gear 22, the output rotational speed of the planetary carrier is opposite to the rotational speed of the motor 60.

[0094] As Figure 17As shown, it is a gear composition diagram of four gears: EV1, EV2, EV3, and R. Among them, B1 represents the first brake 41, B2 represents the second brake 42, C1 represents the first clutch 31, C2 represents the second clutch 32, and A represents the third clutch 33; S1 represents the first sun gear 14, R1 represents the first external gear ring 13, H1 represents the first planet carrier 11, S2 represents the second sun gear 24, R2 represents the second external gear ring 23, and H1 represents the second planet carrier 21; EM represents the motor 60, and ENG represents the engine 50. Reverse gear transmission (R): Power is transmitted from C2 to H1 / H2, and the speed connection line is from C2 to H1 / H2.

[0095] As Figure 15 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the power transmission path for power generation during parking. Among them, the thickened part is the power transmission path, and the specific control method is as follows:

[0096] In the parked state, the third clutch 33 is engaged, the first clutch 31 is engaged, the engine 50 idles, and the power of the engine 50 is transmitted from the third clutch 33 and the first clutch 31 to the motor 60 to generate electricity.

[0097] The above hybrid power transmission device has an in - motion energy recovery mode, which is specifically as follows:

[0098] When in the engine 50 driving mode, when the driver steps on the brake pedal, the system detects the driver's intention to decelerate. The system controller issues an instruction to engage the first clutch 31 and reverse - drag the motor 60 to rotate. When the driver's deceleration intention is clear and the duration exceeds a certain threshold, through the motor 60 controller, excitation is applied to the motor 60 to provide a load, and kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy. The current flows from the motor 60 to the battery, forming an in - motion energy recovery mode.

[0099] When in the parallel driving mode or the motor 60 driving mode, the connection method between the power source and the mechanical coupling device remains unchanged. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the system detects the driver's intention to decelerate, reduces the speed of the motor 60 to form reverse - drag, and provides a load. Kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy, and the current flows from the dual - motor 60 to the battery, forming an in - motion energy recovery mode.
