[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a shifting structure, including a motor 10, a planetary reduction mechanism 20, a first transmission shaft system 30, and a second transmission shaft system 40. The input end of the planetary reduction mechanism 20 is transmission-connected to the output end of the motor 10; the first transmission shaft system 30 includes a first shaft 31, a first sub-gear 32, and a second main gear 33. The first sub-gear 32 and the second main gear 33 are both fixedly sleeved on the first shaft 31 and spaced apart along the axial direction of the first shaft 31. The first shaft 31 is transmission-connected to the output end of the planetary reduction mechanism 20; the second transmission shaft system 40 includes a second shaft 41, a first main gear 42, a second sub-gear 43, and a sliding sleeve 44. The first main gear 42 is used for transmission with the engine. The first main gear 42 is meshed with the first sub-gear 32 for transmission, and the second sub-gear 43 is meshed with the second main gear 33 for transmission. Either the first main gear 42 or the second sub-gear 43 can be transmission-connected to the second shaft 41 via the sliding sleeve 44.
[0040] Specifically, the motor 10 is connected to the first shaft 31 through the planetary reduction mechanism 20. The planetary reduction mechanism 20 can reduce the output speed of the motor 10 and increase the output torque. The first sub-gear 32 and the second main gear 33 rotate synchronously with the first shaft 31; the engine drives the first main gear 42 and the first sub-gear 32 to rotate the first shaft 31, and the second main gear 33 drives the second sub-gear 43 to rotate. The second shaft 41 can be connected to any one of the first main gear 42 and the second sub-gear 43 through the sleeve 44, thereby rotating. The motor 10 can output positive torque or negative torque to reduce the speed difference between the first shaft 31 and the second shaft 41.
[0041] Specifically, during use, the transmission generally includes upshifting and downshifting. For ease of description, it is assumed that the transmission ratio between the first main gear 42 and the first sub-gear 32 is greater than the transmission ratio between the second sub-gear 43 and the second main gear 33. That is, the first sub-gear 32 and the first main gear 42 form a low-speed gear position, and the second main gear 33 and the second sub-gear 43 form a high-speed gear position.
[0042] Assume that the second shaft 41 is now connected to the first main gear 42 through the sliding sleeve 44. At this time, two transmission paths are formed, that is, one of which is the engine driving the first shaft 31 to rotate through the first main gear 42 and the first sub-gear 32, and the other is the engine driving the second shaft 41 to rotate through the first main gear 42 and the sliding sleeve 44. When shifting up, the sleeve 44 is first moved to the neutral position, that is, the sleeve 44 is not connected to the first main gear 42 and the second sub-gear 43. At this time, there is no power transmission between the second shaft 41 and the engine and the first shaft 31. The first shaft 31 continues to rotate under the drive of the engine, while the second shaft 41 performs a deceleration motion under the action of its own inertia. At this time, the motor 10 starts and outputs negative torque. After the deceleration and torque increase of the planetary reduction mechanism 20, the first shaft 31 is driven to perform a deceleration motion. At the same time, the second main gear 33 drives the second sub-gear 43 to perform a deceleration motion. Until the rotational speed of the second sub-gear 43 is close to that of the second shaft 41, the sleeve 44 connects the second sub-gear 43 and the second shaft 41, and the second shaft 41 is transmitted to the first shaft 31 through the second main gear 33 and the second sub-gear 43.
[0043] Assume that the second shaft 41 is now connected to the second sub-gear 43 through the sliding sleeve 44, and the first shaft 31 and the second shaft 41 are driven by the second main gear 33 and the second sub-gear 43. When downshifting, the sliding sleeve 44 is first moved to the neutral position, the second shaft 41 performs a deceleration movement, the motor 10 is started and outputs positive torque, the rotation of the first shaft 31 is increased, and then the speed of the first sub-gear 32 and the first main gear 42 is increased until the rotation speed of the first main gear 42 and the second shaft 41 is close. Then the sliding sleeve 44 connects the first main gear 42 and the second shaft 41, and the second shaft 41 is driven by the engine through the first main gear 42.
[0044] In this way, when the motor 10 shifts up, it outputs negative torque to suppress the increase in the speed of the first shaft 31 and reduce the speed difference between the first shaft 31 and the second shaft 41; when the motor 10 shifts down, it outputs positive torque to further accelerate the speed of the first shaft 31, so that the speeds of the first shaft 31 and the second shaft 41 approach each other as quickly as possible. In this way, smooth and fast gear shifting is achieved by reducing the speed difference between the first shaft 31 and the second shaft 41.
[0045] like Figure 2As shown, the planetary reduction mechanism 20 optionally includes a first planetary gear 24 system, which includes a ring gear 21, a first sun gear 22, a first planet carrier 23, and a plurality of first planetary gears 24. The output end of the motor 10 is in transmission connection with the first sun gear 22. The ring gear 21 is sleeved outside the first sun gear 22. The first planetary gears 24 are sandwiched between the first sun gear 22 and the ring gear 21 and can rotate along the circumference of the ring gear 21. One end of the first planetary carrier 23 is connected to the first planetary gear 24, and the other end is in transmission connection with the first shaft 31. In this way, by driving the planetary gears through the sun gear, the transmission ratio is increased, the speed is reduced, and the torque is increased.
[0046] Optionally, the planetary reduction mechanism 20 further includes a second sun gear 25, a second planetary carrier 26, and a plurality of second planetary gears 27. The first sun gear 22 and the second sun gear 25 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the ring gear 21. The ring gear 21 is sleeved outside the second sun gear 25. The second planetary gears 27 are sandwiched between the second sun gear 25 and the ring gear 21 and can rotate along the circumferential direction of the ring gear 21. The other end of the first planetary carrier 23 is transmission-connected to the second sun gear 25. One end of the second planetary carrier 26 is connected to the second planetary gear 27, and the other end is transmission-connected to the first shaft 31. In this way, by providing a double-stage reduction, the output speed of the motor 10 can be further reduced and the torque output by the motor 10 can be increased.
[0047] Optionally, the output end of the motor 10 is spline-connected to the first sun gear 22. Specifically, the output shaft of the motor 10 is its output end. The output shaft of the motor 10 is coaxially arranged with the first sun gear 22 and inserted into the first sun gear 22. One of the output shaft of the motor 10 and the first sun gear 22 is fixed with a spline, and the other has a spline groove. The spline and the spline groove are plugged into each other to achieve circumferential limitation of the output shaft of the motor 10 and the first sun gear 22.
[0048] In other embodiments, both the output shaft of the motor 10 and the first sun gear 22 are provided with spline grooves, and the splines can be inserted into both spline grooves at the same time.
[0049] In other embodiments, the output shaft of the motor 10 and the first sun gear 22 are interference fit.
[0050] Optionally, the first planetary gear 24 is sleeved on the first planetary carrier 23 via a ball bearing.
[0051] In this embodiment, the ring gear 21 is a fixed part and cannot be driven by the first sun gear 22. When the first sun gear 22 rotates, the first planetary gear 24 must rotate around the axis of the first sun gear 22 and rotate on its own. The setting of the ball bearing can reduce the friction between the first planetary gear 24 and the first planetary carrier 23, so that the first planetary gear 24 can quickly respond to the drive of the first sun gear 22.
[0052] Furthermore, one end of the first planet carrier 23 is connected to the axis of the first planet gear 24 .
[0053] Optionally, the shift structure further includes a third shaft 50 , which is coaxially arranged with the second shaft 41 , with one end of the third shaft 50 connected to the output end of the engine, and the other end connected to the first main gear 42 via a spline.
[0054] Optionally, the first main gear 42 is connected to a first coupling tooth 45 via a spline, and the first coupling tooth 45 is used to be connected to the sliding sleeve 44 .
[0055] Optionally, the second sub-gear 43 is connected to a second meshing tooth 46 via a spline, and the second meshing tooth 46 is used to connect with the sliding sleeve 44
[0056] Optionally, the second sub-gear 43 is sleeved on the second shaft 41 and can rotate relative to the second shaft 41. This arrangement can reduce the space occupied by the second shaft 41 and the second sub-gear 43 in the axial direction of the second shaft 41.
[0057] Optionally, the first sub-gear 32 is equipped with a first rotation speed sensor 60 for acquiring the rotation speed of the first shaft 31 .
[0058] Furthermore, the shifting structure also includes a control system, which includes a control unit and a second speed sensor. The second speed sensor is used to obtain the speed of the second shaft 41. The first speed sensor 60 and the second speed sensor are all connected to the control unit through the motor 10. The control unit can obtain the speed V1 of the first shaft 31 and the speed V2 of the second shaft 41 respectively through the first sensor and the second sensor, and calculate the speed difference ΔV between the first shaft 31 and the second shaft 41 when the sleeve 44 is in the neutral position. 实 , satisfying, △V 实 =V1-V2, if satisfied, △V 实 ≤△V 阈 , it means that the speed difference between the first shaft 31 and the second shaft 41 meets the shifting condition, and the sliding sleeve 44 is connected to the first main gear 42 or the second sub-gear 43. If it is not satisfied, the motor 10 is commanded to further adjust its output torque until △V is satisfied. 实 ≤△V 阈 .
[0059] The present application also provides a vehicle including a gear shifting structure.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions are possible for those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
