[0020] The present invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiments. Figure 1 —2:

[0021] A tractor combined motor intelligent control transmission system, characterized in that: it includes an engine 1, the crankshaft output end of the engine 1 is drivingly connected to the input shaft of a generator 2, the generator 2 is electrically connected to a drive motor 4 and a power battery 5 for charging and discharging energy through a high-voltage power distribution assembly 3, the output shaft of the drive motor 4 is drivingly connected to the input end of a gearbox assembly 6,

[0022] When the power generation of the generator 2 is greater than the power required by the drive motor 4 to output power, the VCU controller 7 controls the high-voltage power distribution assembly 3 to transmit part of the power generation of the generator 2 to the drive motor 4 and the other part to the power battery 5;

[0023] When the power generated by the generator 2 is less than the power required by the drive motor 4 to output power, the VCU controller 7 controls the power generated by the generator 2 and the power of the power battery 5 to be transmitted to the drive motor 4 through the high-voltage power distribution assembly 3.

[0024] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the VCU controller 7 is electrically connected to the range extender generator controller 8 and the drive motor controller 9. The range extender generator controller 8 controls the output power of the engine 1 according to the signal of the VCU controller 7 to adjust the power generation of the generator 2, and the drive motor controller 9 controls the output power of the drive motor 4 according to the signal of the VCU controller 7.

[0025] Among them, the engine 1 and the generator 2 are mechanically driven to drive the generator 2 to generate electricity, and the electricity is transmitted to the power battery 5 or the drive motor 4 through the cable in the high-voltage distribution assembly 3 according to the signal of the VCU controller 7. It should be noted that since the output power of the drive motor 4 is positively correlated with the required power consumption, and the ratio of the output power to the power consumption of each specification and model of the drive motor 4 is different, similarly, the power generated by each specification and model of the generator 2 is positively correlated with the output power of the engine 1 driving the generator 2, but the ratio is different, so the corresponding energy conversion method should be set in combination with the actual generator 2 and the drive motor 4 used. That is, the VCU controller 7 calculates the power required for the output power of the drive motor 4 according to the power required by the gearbox assembly 6, and controls the high-voltage distribution assembly 3 to reasonably distribute the power in combination with the power generation of the generator 2 at this time. The output power of the engine 1 is separated from the output power of the actual gearbox assembly 6, so the engine 1 can continue to work in the high-efficiency range, thereby showing good fuel consumption. The power battery 5 serves as a storage container for electric energy. When the drive motor 4 outputs high power, it can supply power to the drive motor 4 together with the generator 2. As a result, the engine 1 does not need to work at an overload, thereby effectively extending the service life of the engine 1.

[0026] The present invention has a reasonable design, high energy transmission efficiency and long cruising range. The engine 1 provides power for the generator 2, converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, controls the output torque of the gearbox assembly 6 through the drive motor 4, stores excess electricity with the help of the power battery 5, and supplies power to the drive motor 4 together with the generator 2 when the drive motor 4 outputs high power, reasonably distributes electricity, and enables the engine 1 to work within a high-efficiency range, has good fuel consumption, works stably and efficiently, and has a high comprehensive energy utilization rate.

[0027] Furthermore, considering that the PTO shaft 10 of the tractor needs to be directly connected to the engine 1, on the basis of the above-mentioned structure of the generator 2 and the drive motor 4, the generator 2 and the drive motor 4 are axially arranged between the engine 1 and the gearbox assembly 6, and the PTO shaft 10 of the gearbox assembly 6 axially penetrates the output shaft of the drive motor 4 and is splined to the inner end of the input shaft of the generator 2, that is, the PTO shaft 10, the output shaft of the drive motor 4, the input shaft of the generator 2 and the crankshaft output end of the engine 1 are all located on the same axis, which effectively improves the transmission stability of the generator 2 and the drive motor 4 between the engine 1 and the gearbox assembly 6. In addition, in the present embodiment, the generator 2 and the drive motor 4 are both compact disc permanent magnet synchronous motors, which makes the transmission system of the tractor of the present invention compact and effectively controls the wheelbase size of the tractor.

[0028] In addition, in order to reduce the vibration amount generated by the power transmission between the engine 1 and the generator 2, the input end of the generator 2 and the crankshaft output end of the engine 1 are connected through a torsional vibration damper 11, the input shaft of the generator 2 is spline-connected to the torsional vibration damper 11, and the torque vibration damper 11 is connected to the flywheel of the engine 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the specific structure adopted by the gearbox assembly 6 is as follows: the gearbox assembly 6 includes a gearbox housing 12, the PTO shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the gearbox housing 12, an input shaft 13 is supported on the gearbox housing 12, the input shaft 13 is a hollow shaft, the other end of the PTO shaft 10 is supported in the inner hole of the input shaft 13 through a bushing, the input shaft 13 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 4 with a spline sleeve, the gearbox housing 12 supports an output shaft 14, and a gear transmission component for field operations is arranged between the input shaft 13 and the output shaft 14.

[0030] The gear transmission assembly can be designed according to the actual operation requirements of the tractor. In this embodiment, the gear transmission assembly includes a first gear driving gear 15, a second gear driving gear 16 and a third gear meshing sleeve or synchronizer 17 fixedly sleeved on the input shaft 13. The input shaft 13 is rotatably sleeved with a third gear driving gear 18, and the third gear driving gear 18 can be combined with the third gear meshing sleeve or synchronizer 17 to achieve synchronous rotation of the third gear driving gear 18 and the input shaft 13. The output shaft 14 is rotatably sleeved with a first gear driving gear 15, a second gear driving gear 16 and a third gear meshing sleeve or synchronizer 17. The first gear driven gear 19 meshes with the first gear driven gear 15, and the second gear driven gear 20 meshes with the second gear driving gear 16, the output shaft 14 is fixed with a first and second gear meshing sleeve or synchronizer 21 located between the first gear driven gear 19 and the second gear driven gear 20, and a third gear driven gear 22 meshed with the third gear driving gear 18, and the first gear driven gear 19 or the second gear driven gear 20 can be combined with the first and second gear meshing sleeve or synchronizer 21 to achieve the synchronous rotation of the first gear driven gear 19 or the second gear driven gear 20 and the output shaft 14. That is, this embodiment has a speed gear adjustment with three gears, which can meet the operation requirements of various working conditions of the tractor.

[0031] At the same time, in order to enable the tractor to have two modes of power travel, rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, so as to meet the ability of the tractor to travel under various working conditions, improve the performance of the tractor and increase the traction efficiency, the gearbox housing 12 is rotatably connected with a four-wheel drive intermediate shaft 23 and a four-wheel drive output shaft 24, the output shaft 14 is fixedly sleeved with a four-wheel drive driving gear 25, the four-wheel drive intermediate shaft 23 is fixedly sleeved with an intermediate gear 26 meshing with the four-wheel drive driving gear 25, and the four-wheel drive output shaft 24 is rotatably sleeved with a four-wheel drive driven gear 27, and the four-wheel drive driven gear 27 rotates synchronously or relatively with the four-wheel drive output shaft 24 through a four-wheel drive clutch 28, one end of the four-wheel drive output shaft 24 extends out of the gearbox housing 12 and is connected to the front drive axle through a universal drive shaft, that is, the four-wheel drive clutch 28 controls the power connection and separation between the four-wheel drive output shaft 24 and the output shaft 14.

[0032] The above embodiment is only one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention.
