[0038] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to implement different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples.

In addition, the present invention provides various specific processes and examples of materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0039] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 9 An electric drive system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the electric drive system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a reducer housing 10 , a differential 14 , an oil pump 15 and an oil pipe 16 .

[0041] An installation space is formed in the reducer housing 10, in which a gear set 13 is arranged, the differential 14 is connected to the gear set 13, the outlet of the oil pump 15 is connected to the inlet of the oil pipe 16, the oil pipe 16 is located in the installation space, and the oil pipe 16 is provided with at least one first oil spray hole 161, wherein the housing of the differential 14 is provided with at least one oil inlet hole 141, the oil inlet hole 141 is used to connect the internal space of the differential 14 and the installation space, and the first oil spray hole 161 is suitable for spraying lubricating oil toward at least one oil inlet hole 141.

[0042] Thus, the differential 14 can be integrated on the gear set 13. At the same time, an oil inlet hole 141 is provided on the housing of the differential 14. When the oil pipe 16 is arranged on the reducer housing 10, a first oil spray hole 161 is provided to spray lubricating oil toward the oil inlet hole 141, so that the inside of the differential 14 can be lubricated, thereby lubricating the inside of the differential 14 that is not easily lubricated.

[0043] For example, the gear set 13 is connected to the bearing in the reducer housing 10 and is arranged in the installation space. The motor of the vehicle 1000 is connected to the wheels through the gear set 13. The gear set 13 acts as a reduction gear set 13 to reduce the speed of the motor output, so that the speed of the wheels can reach a reasonable range. At the same time, the differential 14 is installed on the gear set 13, so that the differential 14 can control the different speeds of the wheels on both sides of the vehicle 1000, which can increase the passability of the vehicle 1000. An oil pipe 16 and an oil pump 15 are also installed in the reducer housing 10. The outlet of the oil pump 15 is connected to the inlet of the oil pipe 16 to provide a pressure relief for the oil pipe 16. Oil supply, and when the oil pipe 16 is arranged in the reducer housing 10, it will spray oil toward the gear set 13 to lubricate the gear set 13. At the same time, the oil pipe 16 will also lubricate the differential 14. For example, the lubricating oil is sprayed toward the oil inlet hole 141 on the housing of the differential 14 through the first oil spray hole 161 on the oil pipe 16, so that the lubricating oil can lubricate the inside of the differential 14. At the same time, a plurality of second oil spray holes 162 are also provided on the oil pipe 16. The second oil spray holes 162 will face the gear set 13. In this way, when the differential 14 is actively lubricated, the gear set 13 can also be lubricated, which can improve the transmission efficiency of the gear set 13.

[0044] Furthermore, after the differential 14 is integrated on the gear set 13, the electric drive system 100 in this embodiment also has strong versatility, so that any vehicle 1000 that needs to use a differential lock can use the electric drive system 100 in this embodiment.

[0045] According to the electric drive system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, when the gear set 13 is installed on the reducer case 10, the differential 14 is integrated on the gear set 13. During active lubrication, there will be at least one first oil spray hole 161 on the oil pipe 16 to spray oil toward the oil inlet hole 141 of the differential 14, so that the lubricating oil can enter the inside of the differential 14 for lubrication. In this way, lubricating oil can be saved to reduce costs, the lubrication effect on the differential 14 can be improved, and the influence of the amount of lubricating oil on the efficiency of the electric drive system 100 can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of the electric drive system 100.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, there are multiple oil inlet holes 141 and multiple first oil injection holes 161 . The multiple first oil injection holes 161 are arranged around the differential 14 in the circumferential direction of the differential 14 , and the multiple first oil injection holes 161 correspond one-to-one to the multiple oil inlet holes 141 .

[0047] It should be noted that the oil inlet hole 141 on the housing of the differential 14 can be one, or two, or more, and the first oil injection hole 161 will correspond to the oil inlet hole 141 one by one, that is, the first oil injection hole 161 on the oil pipe 16 can also be one, or two, or more. Preferably, in the present embodiment, three first oil injection holes 161 are provided, and three oil inlet holes 141 are also provided.

[0048] Thus, the multiple first oil injection holes 161 on the oil pipe 16 inject oil to the differential 14, which can improve the lubrication effect of the differential 14, and the multiple oil inlet holes 141 on the housing of the differential 14 can allow more lubricating oil to enter the interior of the differential 14, thereby further improving the lubrication effect of the differential 14.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the installation space is integrated with an internal flow channel 17 , which includes a lubricating oil channel 171 , the inlet of the lubricating oil channel 171 is connected to the outlet of the oil pump 15 , and the outlet of the lubricating oil channel 171 is connected to at least one oil inlet hole 141 .

[0050] It should be noted that the internal flow channel 17 also includes an oil inlet flow channel, which is provided with an oil inlet port 173 and an oil outlet port 174. The oil inlet port 173 is connected to the oil pump 15, and the oil outlet port 174 is connected to the inlet of the oil pipe 16. The oil inlet flow channel can transport the lubricating oil to the oil pump 15, and the oil pump 15 then pumps the lubricating oil into the oil pipe 16. In this way, the internal flow channel 17 integrates the oil inlet flow channel and the lubricating oil channel 171, which can reduce the volume of the reducer housing 10 and is conducive to the miniaturized design of the electric drive system 100.

[0051] Furthermore, the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil passage 171 is also pumped in by the oil pump 15, and the outlet of the lubricating oil passage 171 is connected to at least one oil inlet hole 141, that is, the outlet of the lubricating oil passage 171 is arranged at the bearing where the differential 14 is installed on the reducer case 10, so that the lubricating oil can enter the interior of the differential 14 along the bearing, and at the same time, some of the lubricating oil enters the interior of the differential 14 through the oil inlet hole 141.

[0052] Therefore, the internal flow channel 17 on the inner wall of the installation space can guide part of the lubricating oil into the differential 14 to further enhance the lubrication effect of the differential 14. At the same time, the internal flow channel 17 can integrate the oil inlet channel and the lubricating oil channel 171 together to make the reducer case 10 smaller, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the electric drive system 100.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, a guide channel 172 is provided on the inner wall of the installation space, and the guide channel 172 is used to guide the lubricating oil in the installation space to the oil inlet hole 141.

[0054] It should be noted that the guide flow channel 172 can collect the lubricating oil splashed by the rotation of the gear set 13 and make the lubricating oil drip into the oil inlet hole 141 under the action of gravity, which can make the lubrication effect of the differential 14 better.

[0055] Furthermore, the guide channel 172 is integrated on the shell of the reducer case 10, and the radial cross-section of the guide channel 172 can be constructed as an arc-shaped groove, so that the splashing lubricating oil can be accommodated in the groove, and one end of the guide channel 172 will face the oil inlet 141, so that the lubricating oil can flow into the differential 14 under the action of gravity, or an oil inlet is provided at one end of the guide channel 172, and the oil outlet faces the oil inlet 141. At this time, the oil inlet will be made as large as possible without affecting the other components in the reducer case 10, so that more splashing lubricating oil can be collected, and the collected lubricating oil can drip into the oil inlet 141 from the oil outlet.

[0056] Therefore, the guide channel 172 can guide the lubricating oil splashed in the reducer housing 10 into the reducer, so that the reducer can obtain a better lubrication effect.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of guide flow channels 172 are provided, and the guide flow channels 172 are radially distributed on the radial outer side of the oil inlet hole 141 .

[0058] Therefore, a plurality of guide flow channels 172 are provided in the installation space, so that more lubricating oil can flow to the oil inlet hole 141, and the radial distribution of the guide flow channels 172 enables the guide flow channels 172 to collect the lubricating oil splashed in multiple directions, so that the guide flow channels 172 can contact more lubricating oil, thereby better lubricating the reducer.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the differential 14 is provided with a connecting harness 142, which is suitable for passing through the mounting hole of the reducer case 10 to be electrically connected to the vehicle controller of the vehicle 1000, and at least part of the outer side of the connecting harness 142 is provided with a rubber sleeve 143, which is sealed between the connecting harness 142 and the inner wall of the mounting hole.

[0060] It should be noted that in the reducer case 10, the oil pump 15 is also provided with a wiring harness, and the wiring harness of the oil pump 15 and the connecting wiring harness 142 are electrically connected to the vehicle controller of the vehicle 1000 through the mounting hole. When the rubber sleeve 143 seals between the connecting wiring harness 142 and the mounting hole, the wiring harness of the oil pump 15 is also arranged in the rubber sleeve 143, and a sealing ring is also provided on the rubber sleeve 143, so as to improve the sealing effect.

[0061] Therefore, the rubber sleeve 143 is provided between the connecting wire harness 142 and the inner wall of the mounting hole to achieve sealing of the reducer housing 10, so that the reducer housing 10 is not prone to oil leakage.

[0062] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the reducer housing 10 includes a first portion 11 and a second portion 12 , and the first portion 11 and the second portion 12 are connected to define an installation space.

[0063] Therefore, the reducer housing 10 is divided into the first part 11 and the second part 12, so as to protect the gear set 13 and other components, and also facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the gear set 13 and other components.

[0064] The present invention also provides a control method for the electric drive system 100 .

[0065] According to the control method of the electric drive system 100 of an embodiment of the present invention, the control method is applicable to controlling the electric drive system 100 of any one of the above embodiments, the electric drive system 100 includes a motor, the input end of the gear set 13 is connected to the motor, and the output end of the gear set 13 is connected to the wheels of the vehicle 1000.

[0066] like Figure 7 As shown, the control method includes:

[0067] S10: Obtaining a first speed of the motor;

[0068] S20: Acquire a second rotation speed of the wheel;

[0069] S21: when the absolute value of the difference between the first speed and the second speed is greater than zero, controlling the vehicle 1000 to start the oil pump 15 at the first vehicle speed;

[0070] Therefore, when the absolute value of the difference between the first speed and the second speed is greater than zero, the vehicle 1000 is in a differential state, and the gear set 13 and the differential 14 in the differential state need to be well lubricated, that is, the vehicle 1000 will be controlled to start the oil pump 15 at this time, so that the differential 14 and the gear set 13 can be well lubricated.

[0071] S22: When the difference between the first rotation speed and the second rotation speed is zero, the vehicle 1000 is controlled to start the oil pump 15 at the second vehicle speed.

[0072] Therefore, when the difference between the first speed and the second speed is equal to zero, the vehicle 1000 is not in a differential state. In this state, the vehicle 1000 will control the opening of the oil pump 15 according to the vehicle speed. When the vehicle 1000 is in the second speed, the oil pump 15 will be turned on to lubricate the differential 14 and the gear set 13.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first vehicle speed is any vehicle speed of the vehicle 1000 , and the second vehicle speed is any vehicle speed less than 30 km / h.

[0074] Exemplarily, “the first speed is any speed of vehicle 1000” means that when the speed of vehicle 1000 is V1 at this time, V1 can be V1=10km / h or V1=30km / h, etc., or V1=90km / h, and “the second speed is any speed less than 30km / h” means that when the speed of vehicle 1000 at this time is V2, V2 satisfies V2<30km / h, that is, V2 can be V2=10km / h or V2=20km / h, etc.

[0075] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the second vehicle speed is any vehicle speed less than 30 km / h and is only for illustration. In other embodiments, the second vehicle speed may be other vehicle speeds. When the vehicle 1000 is at the second vehicle speed, due to the low vehicle speed, the lubrication effect of the gear set 13 when stirring the oil for lubrication is not good. In this way, the oil pump 15 is started to lubricate the differential 14 and the gear set 13 so that the gear set 13 and the differential 14 are in good working condition.

[0076] The present invention also provides a vehicle 1000 .

[0077] like Fig. 9 As shown, a vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a vehicle controller and an electric drive system 100 of any one of the above embodiments, and the vehicle controller is suitable for controlling the electric drive system 100 to execute a control method of the electric drive system 100 of any one of the above embodiments.

[0078] Preferably, if Figure 8As shown, an electronic control 20 is also installed on the reducer case 10, and the electronic control 20 is electrically connected to the differential 14 and the oil pump 15. The electronic control 20 can control the activation of the oil pump 15 and can also control the activation of the differential 14. At the same time, speed sensors are installed at the motor and the wheels. The speed sensors detect the first speed and the second speed and send the first speed and the second speed to the vehicle controller. In this way, the simple control logic of the oil pump 15 when the vehicle 1000 is running is: the vehicle controller obtains the first speed of the motor and the second speed of the wheel through the sensor, and determines whether the first speed and the second speed are differential. If differential, the vehicle 1000 will start the oil pump 15 in the full speed range. If not differential, the oil pump 15 is started in the speed range where the vehicle 1000 is less than 30km / h.

[0079] According to the vehicle 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, in the electric drive system 100 thereon, when the gear set 13 is installed on the reducer case 10, the differential 14 is integrated on the gear set 13, and during active lubrication, there will be at least one first oil spray hole 161 on the oil pipe 16 to spray oil toward the oil inlet hole 141 of the differential 14, so that the lubricating oil can enter the inside of the differential 14 for lubrication. In this way, lubricating oil can be saved to reduce costs, the lubrication effect on the differential 14 can be improved, and the influence of the amount of lubricating oil on the efficiency of the electric drive system 100 can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of the electric drive system 100.
