Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of crawler electric drive, and relates to a four-motor electromechanical composite transmission device for a crawler vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The steering of traditional tracked vehicles is achieved through the speed difference of the tracks on both sides. The transmission system generates the speed difference of the tracks on both sides through the relevant clutch / brake, or hydraulic, electrical and other speed control elements. Unlike wheeled vehicles, the steering of tracked vehicles is power steering, which requires the power of the power system to overcome the steering resistance of the road. When turning on difficult roads or in small radius conditions, a large steering drive torque is required. In order to achieve the steering of tracked vehicles, the inner track needs to provide braking force and the outer track needs to provide driving force. When the vehicle speed is high, the inner track will generate a large steering return power (braking power); if this part of the braking power can be efficiently transmitted to the outer track, it can greatly save the input power of the power source.

[0003] Electrification is the development trend of vehicle power transmission system. Tracked vehicles use motors for driving and steering, which can greatly improve maneuverability. The planetary gear mechanism is used as the coupling mechanism of the transmission system. The design can realize the dual-output hybrid tracked vehicle transmission system, which can not only save the complex steering device and realize independent and precise control of the tracks on both sides, but also realize high-efficiency steering and center steering by controlling the torque of the tracks on both sides.

[0004] The multi-motor drive system can realize flexible power distribution, which has become the development trend of electric drive systems. It can also easily realize the coupling and decoupling of drive and steering, and is the development direction of tracked vehicle electric drive systems. Summary of the invention
