Moreover, current dual-motor hybrid systems are mostly single- or two-gear systems, which cannot meet the ever-increasing demands for vehicle economy and power, and increasing the number of gears leads to a more complex system structure and larger size.

[0050] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a multi-speed electromechanical hybrid power system is provided, comprising a first component 10, a second component 20, a third component 30, and a fourth component 40.

[0051] The specific structure of the above-described components of the multi-speed electromechanical hybrid power system according to this embodiment will be described below.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the first component 10 includes an engine 11, which has an engine shaft 111. The first component 10, the second component 20, the third component 30, and the fourth component 40 are arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the engine shaft 111. In a preferred embodiment, a flywheel 60 is provided at the end of the engine shaft 111 for storing the energy of the engine 11.

[0053] The second component 20 includes a generator 21, an input shaft 22, and an intermediate shaft 23. The generator 21 has a generator shaft 211. The generator shaft 211, input shaft 22, and intermediate shaft 23 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart, extending in the same direction as the engine shaft 111. Specifically, a first gear shifter 24 is provided on the generator shaft 211. The input shaft 22 is coaxially arranged with the engine shaft 111, allowing power output from the engine 11 to be transmitted to the input shaft 22. A second gear shifter 25 is provided on the input shaft 22, and a third gear shifter 26 is provided on the intermediate shaft 23. By controlling the first gear shifter 24, second gear shifter 25, and third gear shifter 26 to different engaged or disengaged states, the power output from the engine 11 forms three transmission paths, achieving three gear adjustments. When the third gear shifter 26 is engaged, the second component 20 and the third component 30 are connected, allowing the engine 11 to transmit power to the planetary gear set mechanism described below.

[0054] The third component 30 includes a planetary gear train mechanism, a brake 34, and a fourth gear shifter 35. The brake 34 and the fourth gear shifter 35 can be engaged or disengaged from the planetary gear train mechanism, so that the power delivered from the second component 20 forms two delivery paths to achieve two gear adjustments.

[0055] The fourth component 40 includes a drive motor 41 and an output shaft 42. The output shaft 42 is preferably coaxially arranged with the input shaft 22. The output shaft 42 is connected to the planetary gear mechanism, so that the planetary gear mechanism can transmit the second power to the output shaft 42. The drive motor 41 has a drive motor shaft 411, and the drive motor 41 can also transmit power to the output shaft 42 to realize the working condition of the engine 11 and / or the drive motor 41.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the multi-speed electromechanical hybrid power system transmission assembly also includes a transmission component connected to the fourth component 40. This transmission component is disposed between the drive motor shaft 411 and the output shaft 42, and is used to transmit the power output from the drive motor 41 to the output shaft 42. In a preferred embodiment, the transmission component includes a tenth gear 401 and an eleventh gear 402 that are meshed together. The tenth gear 401 is fixedly disposed on the output shaft 42, and the tenth gear 401 and the output shaft 42 can be keyed together. The eleventh gear 402 is fixedly disposed on the drive motor shaft 411, and the eleventh gear 402 and the drive motor shaft 411 can also be keyed together.

[0057] This invention arranges and combines the three-gear adjustment of the second component 20 and the two-gear adjustment of the third component 30 to enable the multi-gear electromechanical hybrid system to have a six-gear adjustment function. By changing the gear, the engine 11 and the drive motor 41 can work in the high-efficiency range for a long time, meeting the needs of the continuous improvement of the vehicle's economy and power.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the multi-gear electromechanical hybrid system also includes a gear set connected to the second component 20. The power output by the engine 11 is transmitted between the generator 21, the input shaft 22, and the intermediate shaft 23 through the meshing transmission of the gear set. Specifically, the gear set includes a first gear 201 and a second gear 202 mounted on the generator shaft 211, a third gear 203, a fourth gear 204, a fifth gear 205, and a sixth gear 206 mounted on the input shaft 22, and a seventh gear 207, an eighth gear 208, and a ninth gear 209 mounted on the intermediate shaft 23. Among them, the first gear 201, the fourth gear 204, the sixth gear 206, the seventh gear 207, and the eighth gear 208 are loosely fitted.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the first gear 201 and the third gear 203 mesh to form a first gear pair, the fourth gear 204 meshes with the second gear 202 and the seventh gear 207 respectively to form a second gear pair, the fifth gear 205 and the eighth gear 208 mesh to form a third gear pair, and the sixth gear 206 and the ninth gear 209 mesh to form a fourth gear pair.

[0060] The second gear 202 is fixedly mounted on the generator shaft 211. The first gear shifter 24 is fixedly connected to the second gear 202 and can engage or disengage with the first gear 201, thus realizing the connection between the input shaft 22 and the generator shaft 211. When the first gear shifter 24 is engaged, the engine 11 starts and drives the generator 21 to generate electricity, and the power of the engine 11 can be transmitted to the second gear pair through the first gear pair.

[0061] The second gear shifter 25 is fixedly connected to the input shaft 22, and the sixth gear 206 is fixedly connected to the planetary gear set mechanism. The engagement or disengagement of the second gear shifter 25 and the sixth gear 206 realizes the connection or disengagement of the second component 20 and the third component 30. Specifically, when the second gear shifter 25 and the sixth gear 206 are engaged, power can be transmitted from the input shaft 22 to the planetary gear set mechanism; when the second gear shifter 25 and the sixth gear 206 are disengaged, power can be transmitted from the intermediate shaft 23 to the planetary gear set mechanism via the fourth gear pair.

[0062] The third gear shifter 26 is fixedly connected to the intermediate shaft 23. The third gear shifter 26 has a first shifting part and a second shifting part. The first shifting part can engage or disengage with the seventh gear 207, and the second shifting part can engage or disengage with the eighth gear 208. When the first shifting part is engaged, the second shifting part is disengaged; when the second shifting part is engaged, the first shifting part is disengaged, so that when the third gear shifter 26 is engaged, it can only connect with one gear (i.e., the seventh gear 207 or the eighth gear 208) to enable the second gear pair or the third gear pair to transmit power to the intermediate shaft 23.

[0063] Specifically, when the second component 20 is in the first gear position, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first gear shifter 24 is engaged, the second gear shifter 25 is disengaged, and the third gear shifter 26 is engaged with the seventh gear 207. The power output from the engine 11 passes sequentially through the input shaft 22 → first gear pair → second gear pair → intermediate shaft 23 → fourth gear pair. When the second component 20 is in the second gear position, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the first gear shifter 24 is in the off state, the second gear shifter 25 is in the off state, and the third gear shifter 26 is in the engaged state with the eighth gear 208. The power output from the engine 11 passes sequentially through the input shaft 22 → the third gear pair → the intermediate shaft 23 → the fourth gear pair. When the second component 20 is in the third gear, as... Figure 4 As shown, the first gear shifter 24 is in the off state, the second gear shifter 25 is in the engaged state, and the third gear shifter 26 is in the off state. The power output by the engine 11 passes through the input shaft 22 and the sixth gear 206 in sequence.

[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the planetary gear mechanism includes a sun gear 31, planet gears 32, and an external gear ring 33. The sun gear 31 has a connecting shaft 311 coaxially arranged with the input shaft 22, and the connecting shaft 311 is fixedly connected to the sixth gear 206. The planet gears 32 mesh with the sun gear 31 and the external gear ring 33 respectively. The planet carrier supporting the planet gears 32 is connected to the output shaft 42. The external gear ring 33 is loosely fitted on the output shaft 42. The fourth gear shifter 35 and the brake 34 can engage or disengage with the external gear ring 33 respectively. The brake 34 can be a brake used to lock the external gear ring 33.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fourth gear shifter 35 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft 42; when the third component 30 is in the first gear position, as... Figure 5As shown, brake 34 engages with external gear ring 33, fourth gear shifter 35 disengages from external gear ring 33, and brake 34 locks external gear ring 33, so that the power supplied by the second component 20 is sequentially transmitted to the output shaft 42 via sun gear 31 and planet gear 32; when the third component 30 is in the second gear position, as Figure 6 As shown, the fourth gear shifter 35 engages with the external gear ring 33, and the brake 34 disengages from the external gear ring 33, so that the power supplied by the second component 20 is transmitted sequentially through the sun gear 31, planet gear 32, external gear ring 33 and the fourth gear shifter 35 to the output shaft 42.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the first gear shifter 24 and the fourth gear shifter 35 are clutches, wherein the fourth gear shifter 35 is preferably a wet clutch, and the third gear shifter 26 and the third gear shifter 26 are synchronizers.

[0067] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the first component 10 also includes a torsional damper 50 disposed between the engine shaft 111 and the input shaft 22; the torsional damper 50 is connected to the flywheel 60. The torsional damper 50 is provided so that the power output by the engine 11 is transmitted to the input shaft 22 via the torsional damper 50, thereby reducing the torsional stiffness of the joint between the engine shaft 111 and the input shaft 22 and alleviating the torsional impact load on the input shaft 22 under unsteady conditions.

[0068] Furthermore, in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, both the second component 20 and the third component 30 are transmission devices. The components of the second component 20, excluding the generator 21, form the main transmission device, and the third component 30 is the auxiliary transmission device. The multi-gear electromechanical hybrid system also includes a clutch 70 located at one end of the input shaft 22 near the engine 11. The clutch 70 can be a clutch, used to control the engagement or disengagement of the first component 10 and the second component 20 to control the power transmission between the engine 11 and the transmission device.

[0069] The hybrid system of this invention can achieve the following driving modes, ensuring that the engine 11, generator 21, and drive motor 41 can all achieve optimal efficiency during vehicle driving. Specific operating conditions are as follows:

[0070] Operating condition 1: Only engine 11 is driven, generator 21 and drive motor 41 are not working;

[0071] Operating Condition 2: The first gear shifter 24 is engaged, while the second gear shifter 25 and the third gear shifter 26 are disengaged. The drive motor 41 outputs power to achieve pure electric drive of the vehicle. At the same time, the engine 11 can charge the generator 21.

[0072] Operating Condition 3: Engine 11, generator 21 and drive motor 41 are all working. Engine 11 and drive motor 41 output power simultaneously to achieve maximum driving force for the vehicle; at the same time, engine 11 can charge generator 21.

[0073] Condition 4: During vehicle braking or long downhill driving, neither the engine 11 nor the drive motor 41 is working. The first gear shifter 24 and the third gear shifter 26 are in the off state, and the second gear shifter 25 is in the engagement state with the seventh gear 207. The braking force is transmitted to the generator 21 to realize the recovery and charging of braking capacity.

[0074] The multi-gear electromechanical hybrid system of the present invention employs power coupling between an engine and a drive motor. Three-gear adjustment is achieved by controlling the engagement or disengagement of the three gear switching components in the second component, and this is combined with the two-gear adjustment of the planetary gear mechanism to achieve a six-gear adjustment function. It has the advantages of multiple gears, simple structure, and high power and fuel economy of the vehicle. While ensuring power and economy, it reduces vehicle emissions and meets environmental protection requirements.

[0075] A second aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle including the above-described multi-speed electromechanical hybrid system, thus having all the beneficial effects of a multi-speed electromechanical hybrid system, which will not be elaborated here.

The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any person skilled in the art can still modify or easily conceive of changes to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features, within the technical scope disclosed in this application.
