[0047] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the first motor 202 and the second motor 302 are of a T-shaped dual-motor structure, which can provide greater power and torque for the vehicle and realize independent control of four-wheel torque. Alternatively, the first hub motor 204 and the second hub motor 304 can be used to omit the drive shaft and directly drive the wheels by the motor.

[0048] Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, such as Fig.10 As shown, the CTC battery module 40 includes: a CTC frame 401, a battery system 402, a cooling system 403 and a battery control unit 404.

[0049] Specifically, Figure 8 As shown, the battery system 402 is arranged on the CTC frame 401, and the battery system 402 is connected to the first drive module 20 and the second drive module 30 through high and low voltage wiring harnesses respectively; the cooling system 403 is arranged on the CTC frame 401, and is used to cool the battery system 402; the battery control unit 404 is connected to the battery system 402, and is used to control the output power of the battery system 402.

[0050] It can be understood that in this embodiment of the present invention, a chassis battery tray can be provided on the CTC frame 401, and the battery tray and the chassis frame are integrated into a design, and the battery system 402 can adopt a module-free design, that is, the CTC cells in the battery system 402 are directly assembled on the chassis battery tray, thereby achieving better integration and lightweight, and the battery system 402 is also configured with a cooling system 403 to ensure the fast charging safety and low-temperature charging efficiency of the battery system 402, wherein the cooling system 403 can perform three-sided composite cooling on the battery system 402, and at the same time, the battery control unit 404 can be used to control the output power of the battery system 402 in combination with the cell voltage and temperature, so as to improve the thermal runaway resistance of the battery system 402 and avoid the pressure difference problem caused by the uneven CTC cells in the battery system 402.

[0051] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the chassis domain controller 50 is also used to obtain vehicle steering parameters, and control the first drive module 20 and the second drive module 30 according to the vehicle steering parameters to achieve front-wheel steering, rear-wheel steering and four-wheel steering.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the mechanical steering column structure can be replaced by the first wire-controlled steering unit 206 in the first drive module 20 and the second wire-controlled steering unit 306 in the second drive module 30, and then the input angle signal and torque signal of the steering wheel are transmitted to the chassis domain controller 50 through electrical signals. Thus, the chassis domain controller 50 can control the steering angles of the front wheels 201 and the rear wheels 301 according to the inputs of the vehicle speed sensor and the displacement sensor to realize the steering movement of the vehicle, thereby realizing front-wheel steering, rear-wheel steering and four-wheel steering.

[0053] Optionally, in the above embodiment, the chassis domain controller 50 can generate corresponding vehicle steering parameters according to the input angle signal and torque signal of the steering wheel to achieve real-time changes in the wheel steering force, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the vehicle steering.

[0055] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, while the first wire-controlled steering unit 206 is provided to perform steering control on the front wheels 201, a second wire-controlled steering unit 306 is also provided to perform steering control on the rear wheels 301, thereby achieving a smaller turning radius, improving the steering stability and reliability of the vehicle, and enhancing the driving experience of the user.

[0056] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the chassis domain controller 50 is also used to obtain vehicle driving parameters, and control the first driving module 20 and the second driving module 30 according to the vehicle driving parameters to achieve front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.

Thus, the chassis domain controller 50 can control the first drive module 20 and the second drive module 30 according to the vehicle drive parameters to realize front drive, rear drive, four-wheel drive and separate control of left and right wheel drive forces.

[0058] Optionally, in the above embodiment, the chassis domain controller 50 may generate corresponding vehicle driving parameters according to the opening of the accelerator pedal to achieve real-time changes in the wheel driving force, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the vehicle driving.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the chassis domain controller 50 is also used to obtain vehicle braking parameters, and control the first drive module 20 and the second drive module 30 according to the vehicle braking parameters to achieve front wheel braking, rear wheel braking and four-wheel braking control.

Therefore, the chassis domain controller 50 can control the first drive module 20 and the second drive module 30 according to the vehicle braking parameters to achieve a reasonable distribution of four-wheel braking force, thereby meeting the L4 level autonomous driving requirements.

[0061] Optionally, in the above embodiment, the chassis domain controller 50 may generate corresponding vehicle braking parameters according to the travel of the brake pedal to achieve real-time changes in the wheel braking force, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of vehicle braking.

[0062] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the chassis domain controller 50 is also used to obtain vehicle suspension parameters, and control the first drive module 20 and the second drive module 30 according to the vehicle suspension parameters to achieve lifting control of the chassis body 10 and control of stiffness and damping.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first active suspension unit 206 in the first drive module 20 can control the height of the front active suspension, and the second active suspension unit 306 in the second drive module 30 can control the height of the rear active suspension, so that the chassis body 10 can move up and down according to a predetermined motion trajectory. Thus, the chassis domain controller 50 can control the first drive module 20 and the second drive module 30 according to the vehicle suspension parameters to realize the lifting and lowering control of the chassis body 10.

[0064] Optionally, in the above embodiment, the chassis domain controller 50 can autonomously sense and identify the vehicle status based on information feedback from the road surface, and generate corresponding vehicle suspension parameters to achieve real-time changes in damping and stiffness, thereby providing better comfort and chassis performance adjustment as road conditions change.

[0065] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the chassis domain controller 50 is also provided with at least one expansion interface.

[0066] Specifically, in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, the chassis domain controller 50 may also be provided with at least one expansion interface so as to meet other wire control requirements and improve the compatibility of the wire control chassis 1000 .

[0067] In summary, the wire-controlled chassis according to the embodiment of the present invention can realize flexible adjustment of the track width, wheelbase and ground clearance through the detachably connected middle frame, front longitudinal beam and rear longitudinal beam, so that the wire-controlled chassis can be quickly adapted to different vehicle models. The wire-controlled chassis is decoupled from the vehicle body, which is conducive to independent development, thereby shortening the development and verification cycle and reducing development costs.

[0068] Based on the above-mentioned wire-controlled chassis of the embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a vehicle 3000, such as Fig.11 As shown, the vehicle 3000 includes a vehicle body 2000 and the wire-controlled chassis 1000 described in the aforementioned embodiment of the present invention.
