Electric drive system, four-wheel drive system and vehicle

[0001] This application is a divisional application of Chinese patent application filed on August 31, 2022, with application number 202211063839.0 and title "Electric Drive Assembly, Four-Wheel Drive System and Vehicle". Technical Field

[0002] This application belongs to the field of vehicle drive technology and relates to an electric drive assembly, a four-wheel drive system and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0003] Dual-motor independent drive allows for precise and independent control of the torque and speed of the left and right wheels, resulting in a range of advantages such as smaller turning radius, ESP assistance, assisted steering, and assisted braking, thereby improving vehicle handling. Simultaneously, the independently driven motors enable higher power and stronger off-road capability.

[0004] However, compared with a single-motor centralized drive system, a centrally arranged dual-motor wheel-side independent drive system may sometimes experience abnormal vibrations or buzzing noises that affect the overall vehicle comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this application is: for the existing centralized dual-motor wheel-side independent drive system, there is sometimes abnormal vibration or buzzing noise that affects the overall vehicle comfort, so an electric drive assembly, four-wheel drive system and vehicle are provided.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, on the one hand, this application provides an electric drive assembly, including a first motor, a second motor, a first reducer, a second reducer, a first half-shaft, and a second half-shaft. The input end of the first reducer is connected to the first motor, the output end of the first reducer is connected to the first half-shaft, the input end of the second reducer is connected to the second motor, and the output end of the second reducer is connected to the second half-shaft.

[0007] Both the first reducer and the second reducer are multi-stage reducers with the same number of stages. The speed ratio of the first reducer is the same as that of the second reducer. The speed ratio of at least two stages of the reduction gear set of the first reducer is different from that of at least two corresponding reduction gear sets of the second reducer.

[0008] The housings of the first reducer, the second reducer, the first motor, and the second motor are separately disposed but fixedly connected together; or, at least two of the housings of the first reducer, the second reducer, the first motor, and the second motor are integrated into one unit.

[0009] In the electric drive assembly of this application embodiment, both the first and second reducers are multi-stage reduction gears with the same number of stages. In the vehicle width direction, the speed ratios of the first and second reducers located on the left and right sides are the same. The speed ratios of at least two stages of the first reducer's reduction gear sets are different from the speed ratios of at least two corresponding stages of the second reducer's reduction gear sets. Specifically, at least two stages of the first and second reducers have the following characteristics: the speed ratio of one stage of the first reducer's reduction gear set is greater than the speed ratio of one stage of the second reducer's reduction gear set, and the speed ratio of another stage of the first reducer's reduction gear set is less than the speed ratio of another stage of the second reducer's reduction gear set. As a result, the noise frequencies generated by the movement of the driving gear in the last stage of the first reducer's reduction gear set and the driving gear in the last stage of the second reducer's reduction gear set differ significantly. The combined noise waveform has a high frequency, effectively solving the abnormal vibration or buzzing noise problems of existing centrally arranged dual-motor wheel-side independent drive systems, resulting in a better driving experience and improved overall vehicle comfort.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0036] Compared to a single-motor centralized drive system, a centrally arranged dual-motor wheel-side independent drive system may sometimes experience abnormal vibrations or buzzing noises that affect the overall vehicle comfort.

[0037] The inventors of this invention discovered through research and analysis that this phenomenon, known as "beat frequency," arises because the operating states of the centrally arranged left and right motors and reducers cannot remain completely consistent during operation. Specifically, referring to Figures 11 to 13, assuming that the gear noise waveforms of the left and right reducers in an existing centrally arranged dual-motor wheel-side independent drive system are standard sine waves with different frequencies but the same amplitude, and the left and right noise waveforms differ by 2% (see Figure 13), as shown in Figure 14, the gear noise from the left and right reducers is superimposed to form a new low-frequency noise waveform, resulting in a low-pitched "humming" sound from the entire vehicle—this is the "beat frequency" problem.

[0038] The electric drive assembly provided in this application embodiment includes a first motor, a second motor, a first reducer, a second reducer, a first half-shaft, and a second half-shaft. The input end of the first reducer is connected to the first motor, and the output end of the first reducer is connected to the first half-shaft. The input end of the second reducer is connected to the second motor, and the output end of the second reducer is connected to the second half-shaft.

[0039] Both the first reducer and the second reducer are multi-stage reducers with the same number of stages. The speed ratio of the first reducer is the same as that of the second reducer. The first reducer and the second reducer have at least two different speed ratios.

[0040] The housings of the first reducer, the second reducer, the first motor, and the second motor are separately disposed but fixedly connected together; or, at least two of the housings of the first reducer, the second reducer, the first motor, and the second motor are integrated into one unit.

[0041] The speed ratios of at least two stages of reduction gear sets in the first reducer are different from the speed ratios of at least two corresponding stages of reduction gear sets in the second reducer. Specifically, at least two stages of reduction gear sets in both the first and second reducers exhibit the following characteristics: the speed ratio of one stage of the first reducer is greater than the speed ratio of one stage of the second reducer, and the speed ratio of the other stage of the first reducer is less than the speed ratio of the other stage of the second reducer. This can be categorized into the following cases:

[0042] (1) The speed ratio of the last stage reduction gear set of the first reducer is the same as that of the last stage reduction gear set of the second reducer. At this time, the first reducer and the second reducer have more than three stages. Among the multiple stages of reduction gear sets before the last stage reduction gear set of the first reducer and the second reducer, at least two stages have the following characteristics: the speed ratio of one stage of the first reducer is greater than the speed ratio of one stage of the second reducer, and the speed ratio of the other stage of the first reducer is less than the speed ratio of the other stage of the second reducer.

[0043] (2) The speed ratio of the last stage reduction gear set of the first reducer is different from that of the last stage reduction gear set of the second reducer. In this case, the first reducer and the second reducer have more than two stages. The speed ratios of each stage reduction gear set of the first reducer and the second reducer are different. Among the multi-stage reduction gear sets of the first reducer and the second reducer, at least two stages have the following characteristics: the speed ratio of one stage of the first reducer is greater than the speed ratio of one stage of the second reducer, and the speed ratio of another stage of the first reducer is less than the speed ratio of another stage of the second reducer.

[0044] (3) The speed ratio of the last stage reduction gear set of the first reducer is different from that of the last stage reduction gear set of the second reducer. In this case, the first reducer and the second reducer have more than three stages. At least one stage of the reduction gear sets of the first reducer and the second reducer has the same speed ratio. Among the multi-stage reduction gear sets of the first reducer and the second reducer, at least two stages have the following characteristics: the speed ratio of one stage of the first reducer is greater than the speed ratio of one stage of the second reducer, and the speed ratio of another stage of the first reducer is less than the speed ratio of another stage of the second reducer.

[0045] In the electric drive assembly of this application embodiment, both the first and second reducers are multi-stage reduction gears with the same number of stages. In the vehicle width direction, the speed ratios of the first and second reducers located on the left and right sides are the same. The speed ratios of at least two stages of the first reducer's reduction gear sets are different from the speed ratios of at least two corresponding stages of the second reducer's reduction gear sets. Specifically, at least two stages of the first and second reducers have the following characteristics: the speed ratio of one stage of the first reducer's reduction gear set is greater than the speed ratio of one stage of the second reducer's reduction gear set, and the speed ratio of another stage of the first reducer's reduction gear set is less than the speed ratio of another stage of the second reducer's reduction gear set. As a result, the noise frequencies generated by the movement of the driving gear in the last stage of the first reducer's reduction gear set and the driving gear in the last stage of the second reducer's reduction gear set differ significantly. The combined noise waveform has a high frequency, effectively solving the abnormal vibration or buzzing noise problems of existing centrally arranged dual-motor wheel-side independent drive systems, resulting in a better driving experience and improved overall vehicle comfort.

[0046] Referring to Figures 15 to 17, the gear noise waveforms of the left reducer (first reducer) and the right reducer (second reducer) of the electric drive assembly in this embodiment are standard sine waves with different frequencies but the same amplitude. Because the speed ratios of at least two stages of the reduction gear sets in the first reducer are different from those in the corresponding gear sets of at least two stages in the second reducer, the left and right noise waveforms differ significantly (see Figure 17). Referring to Figure 18, the gear noise from the left reducer and the gear noise from the right reducer are superimposed to form a new noise waveform. When the gear noise frequencies of the left and right reducers differ significantly, the synthesized new waveform has a high frequency, avoiding a low-pitched "humming" sound throughout the vehicle, solving the "beat frequency" problem, improving the driving experience, and enhancing overall vehicle comfort.

[0047] In this article, the speed ratio of the first reducer refers to the ratio of its input speed to its output speed, i.e., the reduction ratio of the first reducer. Similarly, the speed ratio of the second reducer refers to the ratio of its input speed to its output speed, i.e., the reduction ratio of the second reducer. The reduction ratio is a value greater than 1.

[0048] Similarly, the speed ratio of each reduction stage is the ratio of the input speed to the output speed of that stage. The speed ratio of the first reducer is the cumulative product of the speed ratios of its each reduction stage, and the speed ratio of the second reducer is the cumulative product of the speed ratios of its each reduction stage.

[0049] In some embodiments, the number of teeth on the driving gear of the last stage of the first reducer gear set is different from that on the driving gear of the last stage of the second reducer gear set.

[0050] In other embodiments, the number of teeth on the driving gear of the last stage of the first reducer is the same as that on the driving gear of the last stage of the second reducer.

[0051] In some embodiments, the speed ratio of the last stage reduction gear set of the first reducer is different from the speed ratio of the last stage reduction gear set of the second reducer.

[0052] In some embodiments, the electric drive assembly further includes a differential locking device connected between the first half-shaft and the second half-shaft for selectively engaging or disengaging the first half-shaft and the second half-shaft.

[0053] In other embodiments, the differential lock device may also be omitted.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first motor and the second motor have the same rated speed and rated torque.

[0055] In other embodiments, the motor corresponding to the one with the larger speed ratio between the first and second reducers has a higher output limit. That is, when the speed ratio of the first reducer is greater than that of the second reducer, the rated torque and rated power of the first motor are higher. Conversely, when the speed ratio of the second reducer is greater than that of the first reducer, the rated torque and rated power of the second motor are higher.

[0056] In some embodiments, the meshing frequency f of the last stage reduction gear set of the first reducer is... z The meshing frequency f with the last stage reduction gear set of the second reducer y The decoupling rate σ between them is greater than 8%, and the meshing frequency f of the last stage reduction gear set of the first reducer is... z The frequency f of the last stage reduction gear set of the first reducer is indicated by the number of times it engages during one revolution of the first motor. y This indicates the number of times the last stage reduction gear set of the second reducer engages during one revolution of the second motor; the decoupling rate σ is expressed by formula (1):

[0057]

[0058] Among them, f z f represents the meshing frequency of the last stage reduction gear set of the first reducer. y This indicates the meshing frequency of the last stage reduction gear set in the second reducer; abs(f z -f y ) indicates taking f z with f y The absolute value of the difference, max(f z f y ) indicates taking f z with f y The maximum value in.

[0059] f z This can be expressed by formula (2):

[0060] f z =Z nzz *(i (n-1)z *......i 1z (2);

[0061] In formula (2), Z nzz This indicates the number of teeth on the driving gear (pinion) of the last stage reduction gear set of the first reducer, (i (n-1)z *......i 1z The expression represents the cumulative product of the speed ratios of each stage of reduction before the last stage of the first reducer.

[0062] f y This can be expressed by formula (3):

[0063] f y =Z myz *(i (m-1)y *......i 1y (3);

[0064] In formula (3), Z myz This indicates the number of teeth on the driving gear (pinion) of the last stage reduction gear set of the second reducer, (i (m-1)y *......i 1y This represents the cumulative product of the speed ratios of all stages of reduction before the final stage of the second reducer. m and n are positive integers greater than or equal to 1, and m and n may be equal or different.

[0065] In some embodiments, the housings of the first reducer, the second reducer, the first motor, and the second motor are each independently and fixedly connected together. The fixed connection described herein can be a bolted connection or a riveted connection, etc.

[0066] In other embodiments, at least two of the housings of the first reducer, the second reducer, the first motor, and the second motor are integrated into one unit. The non-integrated portions (separately set portions) are fixedly connected to the integrated portions. This can be categorized into the following cases;

[0067] (1) The housing of the first reducer, the housing of the second reducer, the housing of the first motor and the housing of the second motor are integrated into one unit.

[0071] (5) The housing of the first motor, the housing of the second motor and the housing of the first reducer are integrated into one unit to form an integrated housing, and the housing of the second reducer is separately disposed from the integrated housing but fixedly connected.

[0072] (6) The housing of the first motor, the housing of the second motor and the housing of the second reducer are integrated into one unit to form an integrated housing, and the housing of the first reducer and the integrated housing are separately set and fixedly connected.

[0073] (7) The housing of the first motor and the housing of the first reducer are integrated into one unit to form an integrated housing, and the housing of the second motor and the housing of the second reducer are independently set and fixedly connected to the integrated housing.

[0074] (8) The housing of the first motor and the housing of the first reducer are integrated into one to form a first integrated housing, and the housing of the second motor and the housing of the second reducer are integrated into one to form a second integrated housing.

[0085] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and several embodiments.

[0086] First Embodiment

[0087] Referring to Figure 1, the electric drive assembly 100 provided in the first embodiment of this application includes a first motor 1, a second motor 2, a first reducer 3, a second reducer 4, a first half-shaft 5, and a second half-shaft 6. The input end of the first reducer 3 is connected to the first motor 1, and the output end of the first reducer 1 is connected to the first half-shaft 5. The input end of the second reducer 4 is connected to the second motor 2, and the output end of the second reducer 4 is connected to the second half-shaft 6. The outer end of the first half-shaft 5 is connected to a first wheel 200, and the outer end of the second half-shaft 6 is connected to a second wheel 300. The first wheel 200 is the left wheel, denoted by W1 in the figure. The second wheel 200 is the right wheel, denoted by W2 in the figure. The first motor 1 is denoted by M1 in the figure, and the second motor 2 is denoted by M2 in the figure.

[0088] The electric drive assembly 100 of the first embodiment of this application includes a first reducer 3 and a second reducer 4, both of which are multi-stage reduction gears. In the vehicle width direction, the speed ratios of the first reducer 3 and the second reducer 4 located on the left and right sides are the same. The speed ratios of at least two stages of the reduction gear sets in the first reducer 3 are different from the speed ratios of at least two corresponding stages of the reduction gear sets in the second reducer 4. Specifically, at least two stages of the reduction gear sets in the first reducer 3 and the second reducer 4 have the following characteristics: the speed ratio of one stage of the reduction gear set in the first reducer 3 is greater than the speed ratio of one stage of the reduction gear set in the second reducer 4, and the speed ratio of the other stage of the reduction gear set in the first reducer 3 is less than the speed ratio of the other stage of the reduction gear set in the second reducer 4. Thus, the noise frequencies generated by the movement of the driving gear in the last stage of the reduction gear set in the first reducer 3 and the driving gear in the last stage of the reduction gear set in the second reducer 4 are significantly different. The resulting superimposed noise waveform has a high frequency, effectively solving the abnormal vibration or buzzing noise problems of existing centrally arranged dual-motor wheel-side independent drive systems, improving the driving experience and overall vehicle comfort.

[0089] In this embodiment, the number of teeth on the driving gear of the last stage reduction gear set of the first reducer 3 is different from that on the driving gear of the last stage reduction gear set of the second reducer 4.

[0090] In this embodiment, the electric drive assembly 100 further includes a differential locking device 7, which is connected between the first half-shaft 5 and the second half-shaft 6 and is used to selectively engage or disengage the first half-shaft 5 and the second half-shaft 6.

[0091] The differential locking device 7 can be a clutch, brake, or synchronizer. In this embodiment, a synchronizer is preferred. By engaging and disengaging the differential locking device 5, equal torque and speed output can be achieved between the first half-shaft 5 and the second half-shaft 6 under special working conditions, enabling the vehicle to get out of trouble and improving the off-road capability of the vehicle equipped with the electric drive assembly 100.

[0092] The electric drive assembly 100 of the first embodiment can be used in front-wheel drive vehicles, rear-wheel drive vehicles, and four-wheel drive vehicles.

[0093] The first motor 1 and the second motor 2 have the same rated speed and rated torque. Preferably, the first motor 1 and the second motor 2 are arranged symmetrically from left to right. The first motor 1, the first reducer 3, the second reducer 4, and the second motor 2 are arranged sequentially from left to right.

[0094] In this embodiment, both the first reducer 3 and the second reducer 4 are two-stage reduction gears. In the vehicle width direction, the first reducer 3 and the second reducer 4 are arranged between the first motor 1 and the second motor 2. The area of ​​the end face of the housing of the first reducer 3 near the first motor 1 is larger than the end face area of ​​the first motor 1, and the area of ​​the end face of the housing of the second reducer 4 near the second motor 2 is larger than the end face area of ​​the second motor 2, thereby making the electric drive assembly 100 T-shaped.

[0095] In this embodiment, the housing of the first reducer 3 and the housing of the second reducer 4 are integrated to form a reducer housing, while the housings of the first motor 1 and the second motor 2 are separately disposed and fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the reducer housing.

[0096] In this embodiment, the first reducer 3 is a first parallel shaft gear reducer 31, and the second reducer 4 is a second parallel shaft gear reducer 41.

[0097] The first parallel shaft gear reducer 31 includes a first input shaft 311, a first intermediate shaft 312, and a first output shaft 313. The first input shaft 311, the first intermediate shaft 312, and the first output shaft 313 are parallel and spaced apart from each other. The first input shaft 311 is coaxially connected to the motor shaft of the first motor 1, and the first output shaft 313 is coaxially connected to the first half-shaft 5. A first-stage reduction drive gear 314 is provided on the first input shaft 311.
