Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lubricating oil technology, and specifically relates to a lubricating oil composition for electric vehicle gearboxes. Background Technology

[0002] Pure electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles are experiencing explosive growth globally. Currently, the mature pure electric passenger vehicles on the market mainly use independent single-speed or two-speed reduction mechanisms. With technological advancements, there is a trend towards integrating synchronizers, clutches, gear reducers, and motors in passenger vehicle gearboxes. This necessitates that the required gearbox lubricating oil possess five key performance characteristics: good electrochemical properties, excellent mechanical protection performance, superior synchronizer durability and clutch friction stability, good thermal conductivity, and material compatibility.

[0003] Electrochemical performance considerations include insulation performance evaluation tests, such as conductivity, breakdown voltage, and volume resistivity, as the oil needs to come into direct contact with the motor. Mechanical protection performance considerations include the oil's need to lubricate planetary gears, differentials, and bearings, requiring a certain load-bearing capacity. Synchronizer durability and friction characteristics considerations include good durability across different synchronizer materials, ensuring clutch friction stability for smooth shifting, as the oil needs to lubricate the synchronizer and clutch. Thermal conduction performance considerations include oxidation tests, anti-foaming tests, and specific heat capacity tests, as the oil needs to cool the integrated gearbox and remove heat. Material compatibility considerations include extended-time copper corrosion tests and motor material compatibility tests, as the oil needs to come into contact with coatings and copper materials. CN105132107B discloses a lubricating oil composition for a pure electric vehicle transmission. This composition uses extreme pressure anti-wear agents such as hydroxythiadiazole derivatives and antioxidants such as high molecular weight phenols containing sulfide groups, giving the oil excellent anti-wear properties and oxidation resistance. However, it cannot simultaneously meet the requirements for electrochemical performance, mechanical protection performance, synchronizer durability, and clutch friction stability. CN104560297B discloses a lubricating oil composition for a reducer in a hybrid vehicle or electric vehicle. It selects a synthetic base oil with a low traction coefficient and a pour point depressant with a weight-average molecular weight of 40,000-100,000. The composition provides excellent low-temperature fluidity and shear stability, but it does not mention the oil's mechanical protection performance and clutch friction stability. CN114302940A discloses the use of lubricants containing carboxylic acid esters in electric vehicles, but it does not address the synchronizer durability and clutch friction stability performance of the oil, nor does it mention the oil's transmission efficiency. Traditional automatic transmission fluids like ATF and GL-5 gear oil cannot simultaneously meet these performance requirements. Specialized formulation technology is needed; otherwise, problems such as internal power supply circuit failures, mechanical wear, premature oxidation, and shift shocks may occur in the gearbox.
