The first oil chamber 311 is connected to the drive motor oil circuit and the reduction system oil circuit, and the second oil chamber 312 is connected to the generator oil circuit and the speed increasing system oil circuit.

[0066] The switch solenoid valve 6 is disposed between the first oil chamber 311 and the second oil chamber 312. When the switch solenoid valve 6 is opened, the oil flows from the first oil chamber 311 into the second oil chamber 312.

[0067] When the switch solenoid valve 6 is closed, the first oil chamber 311 and the second oil chamber 312 are cut off.

[0068] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the drive assembly includes a main housing 3 and a rear end cover 5, and the rear end cover 5 is provided on the rear side of the main housing 3. An oil pump 1 and an oil cooler 2 are installed on the main housing 3. The oil pump 1 is used to pump oil into the oil cooler 2, and the oil cooler 2 is used to cool the oil. The oil cooler 2 performs heat exchange by water cooling.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The rear end cover 5 is omitted, and a distribution oil chamber 31 is provided in the main housing 3. The distribution oil chamber 31 is connected to the oil cooler 2, and the oil cooler 2 delivers oil to the distribution oil chamber 31. The distribution oil chamber 31 includes a first oil chamber 311 and a second oil chamber 312.

Figure 2The middle generator 20 is located on the left side of the second oil chamber 312, the generator oil circuit is arranged in the generator chamber 33 of the main housing 3, and the speed increasing system oil circuit is arranged in the gear chamber 34 on the front side of the main housing 3 (see Fig.13 )middle.

[0070] The first oil chamber 311 is not controlled by the switch solenoid valve 6, and the first oil chamber 311 maintains continuous cooling and lubrication of the drive motor oil circuit and the deceleration system oil circuit.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the control current is used to control the opening or closing of the switch solenoid valve 6. When the switch solenoid valve 6 is opened, the oil flows from the first oil chamber 311 into the second oil chamber 312, and then enters the generator oil circuit and the speed increasing system oil circuit to cool the stator and the speed increasing gear 40 of the generator 20. When the switch solenoid valve 6 is closed, the oil circuit between the first oil chamber 311 and the second oil chamber 312 is disconnected, and the oil does not enter the generator oil circuit and the speed increasing system oil circuit. The switch solenoid valve 6 is closed, usually in the pure electric mode of the vehicle, at which time the generator 20 does not work, and the cooling and lubrication of the generator oil circuit and the speed increasing system oil circuit are stopped, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the oil circuit system, reducing the working power of the oil pump, and improving the working efficiency of the lubrication and cooling system.

[0074] Furthermore, if Figure 4-Figure 5 and Fig.13 As shown, the main housing 3 includes a drive motor chamber 32, a generator chamber 33 and a gear chamber 34.

The engine (not shown) can drive the generator 20 to generate electricity through the engine input shaft 501 and the speed increaser gear 402. In addition, the direct drive gear 504 is drivingly connected to the intermediate shaft system 301 , and the engine can directly drive the wheel axle through the engine input shaft 501 , the direct drive gear 504 , the intermediate shaft system 301 and the differential 302 .

[0077] like Figure 5 As shown, the rear side of the main housing 3 includes a drive motor cavity 32 and a generator cavity 33.

The first oil hole 51, the first oil channel 52 and the second oil channel 53 are all arranged on the rear end cover 5. The first oil hole 51 is connected to the first oil chamber 311, one end of the first oil channel 52 is connected to the first oil hole 51, one end of the second oil channel 53 is connected to the first oil channel 52, and the other end is connected to the first hollow channel 101 of the rotor shaft of the drive motor 10.

[0080] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, the rear end cover 5 includes a drive motor cover 54 and a generator cover 55.

[0082] like Fig.10 As shown, the upper end of the second oil passage 53 is connected to the first hollow passage 101 of the rotor shaft of the drive motor 10, and can bring oil into the rotor shaft of the drive motor 10. The rotor shaft is provided with a plurality of radial oil holes (not shown). When the rotor shaft rotates, the oil enters the radial oil holes from the first hollow passage 101, and then enters the rotor from the radial oil holes to cool the rotor. When the rotor rotates, the oil is thrown toward the stator winding to cool the stator winding. The oil at the stator winding drips onto the rear bearing of the motor to lubricate the rear bearing of the motor. Fig.10 The direction of the black arrow in the figure indicates the flow path of the oil.

The first annular oil passage 322 corresponds to the stator of the drive motor 10, so the oil flows into the stator of the drive motor 10 to cool the stator.

[0085] Therefore, both the rotor and the stator of the drive motor 10 are cooled by the drive motor rotor cooling branch and the drive motor stator cooling branch.

[0086] Furthermore, if Figure 12-Figure 15 As shown, the front end cover 4 includes a differential bearing slot 41, a drive motor bearing slot 42, an intermediate bearing slot 43 and an engine input bearing slot 44;

[0091] like Fig.15As shown, the fourth oil passage 45, the fifth oil passage 46 and the sixth oil passage 47 are all arranged inside the front end cover 4, and the fourth oil passage 45 overlaps with one end of the fifth oil passage 46, so the other end of the third oil passage 35 is directly connected to the fourth oil passage 45 and the fifth oil passage 46, and the fifth oil passage 46 is connected to the sixth oil passage 47. Among them, the fourth oil passage 45 leads to the differential bearing groove 41, the fifth oil passage 46 leads to the drive motor bearing groove 42, and the sixth oil passage 47 leads to the engine input bearing groove 44. Fig.15 The black arrow in the middle indicates the flow direction of the oil. The fourth oil passage 45 , the fifth oil passage 46 and the sixth oil passage 47 are actually all arranged inside the front end cover 4 , and only a partial outline can be seen from the outer side of the front end cover 4 .

[0092] like Fig.17 As shown, a differential bearing slot 41 , a drive motor bearing slot 42 , an intermediate bearing slot 43 and an engine input bearing slot 44 are provided on the inner side surface of the front end cover 4 .

[0094] like Fig.18 As shown, the other end of the sixth oil passage 47 leads to the engine input bearing groove 44, which can cool the bearing of the engine input shaft 501. In addition, the oil outlet on the engine input bearing groove 44 of the sixth oil passage 47 is opened in the upper right area, so that the oil can be sprayed to the left to cool the left half of the coil of the electromagnetic clutch 502, and can also be cooled to the right along the coil surface under the action of gravity.

[0095] like Fig.18 As shown, the first oil passage 47 is provided with a bearing lubrication oil guide groove 471 radially downward, which can guide oil into the bearing for lubrication.

[0096] like Fig.19 As shown, the other end of the fourth oil passage 45 leads to the differential bearing groove 41 , so as to cool the bearing of the transmission 30 .

[0097] Furthermore, if Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, the reduction system oil circuit also includes a seventh oil passage 48 , which connects the drive motor bearing groove 42 with the middle bearing groove 43 , and the drive motor bearing groove 42 is located above the middle bearing groove 43 .

[0098] Specifically, Fig.17 As shown, one end of the seventh oil passage 48 is disposed at the lower portion of the drive motor bearing groove 42 .

[0099] like Fig.18As shown, the seventh oil passage 48 connects the drive motor bearing groove 42 and the intermediate bearing groove 43, and the other end of the seventh oil passage 48 leads to the intermediate bearing groove 43. The oil in the drive motor bearing groove 42 can be introduced into the intermediate bearing groove 43 to cool the bearing of the intermediate shaft system 301.

[0100] Therefore, the various bearings mounted on the front end cover 4 can be cooled and lubricated by arranging the oil circuit of the speed reduction system.

[0101] Furthermore, if Figure 20-21 As shown, the generator oil circuit includes a third oil hole 331 and a second annular oil passage 332 . The third oil hole 331 connects the second oil chamber 312 with the second annular oil passage 332 . The second annular oil passage 332 is arranged on a circle of the inner wall of the generator chamber 33 .

[0102] Specifically, Fig. 20 The black arrow in the figure indicates the flow direction of the oil. The oil flows from the oil pump 1 into the oil cooler 2, and then flows from the oil cooler 2 into the first oil chamber 311. When the switch solenoid valve 6 is turned on, the oil flows from the first oil chamber 311 into the second oil chamber 312.

[0103] like Fig.21 As shown, the third oil hole 331 communicates with the second oil chamber 312 and the second annular oil passage 332, and the second annular oil passage 332 is provided in an annular groove of a full circle on the inner wall of the generator chamber 33. The second annular oil passage 332 corresponds to the stator of the generator 20, so the oil flows from the second annular oil passage 332 into the stator of the generator 20 to cool the stator.

[0104] Furthermore, if Figure 22-Figure 25 As shown, the gear cavity 34 includes a drive motor input bearing mounting position 341, an intermediate bearing mounting position 342, a differential bearing mounting position 343, an engine input bearing mounting position 344 and a generator bearing mounting position 345, a speed increasing bearing 401 is mounted at the generator bearing mounting position 345, and a speed increasing gear 402 is mounted on the generator bearing mounting position 345 and the engine input bearing mounting position 344;

[0105] The speed increasing system oil circuit includes an eighth oil channel 333 and an oil pipe 7. One end of the eighth oil channel 333 is connected to the second annular oil channel 332. The eighth oil channel 333 extends from the generator chamber 33 to the gear chamber 34. The other end of the eighth oil channel 333 is located above the engine input bearing mounting position 344 and is connected to the oil pipe 7. The oil pipe 7 is provided with a plurality of oil spray holes, which spray oil onto the gear surface of the speed increasing gear 402 and the speed increasing bearing 401.

[0106] Specifically, Fig. 22 As shown, one end of the eighth oil passage 333 is in communication with the second annular oil passage 332 .

[0107] like Fig.23 As shown, the eighth oil passage 333 passes through the generator chamber 33 and then extends into the gear chamber 34 .

[0108] like Fig.24 As shown, the other end of the eighth oil passage 333 passes through the generator cavity 33 and is located above the engine input bearing mounting position 344 .

[0109] Fig.24 The middle gear cavity 34 includes a drive motor input bearing mounting position 341, an intermediate bearing mounting position 342, a differential bearing mounting position 343, an engine input bearing mounting position 344 and a generator bearing mounting position 345. A speed-increasing bearing 401 is installed at the generator bearing mounting position 345, and a speed-increasing gear 402 is installed on the generator bearing mounting position 345 and the engine input bearing mounting position 344.

[0110] like Figure 4 As shown, the speed increasing bearing 401 at the generator bearing installation position 345 is coaxially connected with the speed increasing gear 402 , and the speed increasing gear 402 at the generator bearing installation position 345 is meshed with the speed increasing gear 402 on the engine input bearing installation position 344 .

[0111] like Fig.25 As shown, the other end of the eighth oil passage 333 is connected to the oil pipe 7, and a plurality of oil spray holes (not shown) are provided on the oil pipe 7, and the oil spray holes spray oil to the gear surface of the speed-increasing gear 402 and the speed-increasing bearing 401, and the oil can cool and lubricate the speed-increasing gear 402 and the speed-increasing bearing 401. Therefore, the gears and bearings of the speed-increasing gear can be cooled by setting the speed-increasing system oil circuit.

[0112] Furthermore, if Fig.24 As shown, a drive motor oil return groove 346 is also provided on one side of the intermediate bearing mounting position 342 in the gear cavity 34. The drive motor oil return groove 346 is connected to the drive motor cavity 32. An oil baffle slope 347 is provided below the drive motor oil return groove 346. The oil baffle slope 347 extends to the bottom of the intermediate bearing mounting position 342.

[0113] Since the drive motor oil return groove 346 is connected to the drive motor cavity 32, the oil enters the gear cavity 34 from the drive motor cavity 32 through the drive motor oil return groove 346. The oil baffle slope 347 is a straight surface arranged below the drive motor oil return groove 346, extending from the side wall of the gear cavity 34 to a position close to the engine input bearing mounting position 344. The oil flows from the drive motor oil return groove 346 to the oil baffle slope 347. Since the oil baffle slope 347 is located below the intermediate bearing mounting position 342, when the intermediate shaft gear installed below the intermediate bearing mounting position 342 rotates, the oil is stirred and brought to the tooth surface of the intermediate shaft gear to cool and lubricate the intermediate shaft gear.

[0114] Furthermore, if Fig.14 and Fig.24 As shown, an oil storage chamber is provided at the bottom of the gear chamber 34, which is composed of a first arc-shaped flange 49 on the front end cover 4 and a second arc-shaped flange 348 on the gear chamber 34. The oil storage chamber is connected to the oil pump 1, and the oil pump 1 can pump the oil in the oil storage chamber into the oil cooler 2. The upper concave surface formed by the second arc-shaped flange 348 and the first arc-shaped flange 49 can store part of the gearbox oil to lubricate the tooth surface of the engine direct drive gear 504.

[0115] like Fig.14 As shown, the front end cover 4 is also provided with a first boss 490. Fig.24 As shown, a second boss 349 is provided in the gear cavity 34, and the first boss 490 and the second boss 349 are both arranged in the oil storage cavity to reduce the volume of the oil storage cavity, thereby ensuring that there is sufficient liquid level height for the oil pump 1 to absorb oil when a low amount of oil is added.

[0116] like Fig.24 As shown, the second arc-shaped flange 348 is provided with a notch 340 at one end close to the differential bearing mounting position 343. The notch 340 ensures that the oil flows into the oil storage chamber and returns to the oil pump 1 to achieve circulation.

[0117] Furthermore, if Figure 26-28 As shown, it also includes an engine input shaft lubricating oil circuit, which includes a ninth oil passage 36. The ninth oil passage 36 is directly connected to the oil pump 1. The ninth oil passage 36 leads to the engine input bearing mounting position 344 of the gear chamber 34 and is connected to the second hollow channel 505 of the engine input shaft 501.

[0118] Specifically, Fig.26 As shown, the main housing 3 is also provided with a ninth oil passage 36, which is directly connected to the oil pump 1 without passing through the oil cooler 2 and the distribution chamber 31. One end of the ninth oil passage 36 is located at the rear side of the main housing 3, as shown in FIG. Fig. 27 As shown, the other end of the ninth oil passage 36 extends to the front side of the main housing 3 and is located at the engine input bearing mounting position 344 , which corresponds to the engine input shaft 501 .

[0119] like Fig.28 As shown, the ninth oil passage 36 enters the second hollow passage 505 of the engine input shaft 501 from the engine input bearing mounting position 344 , and the oil enters the second hollow passage 505 to lubricate the bearing mounted on the engine input shaft 501 .

[0120] Since the ninth oil passage 36 does not pass through the oil cooler 2 and the distribution chamber 31, and directly enters the second hollow passage 505 from the oil pump 1, the oil is not cooled and only serves as lubrication. In addition, the ninth oil passage 36 is not controlled by the switch control valve 6, and can continuously provide oil lubrication.

[0121] Furthermore, if Fig.29 As shown, the electromagnetic clutch push ring and needle bearing 503 of the electromagnetic clutch 502 are installed on the engine input shaft 501, and the first branch oil channel 5051 and the second branch oil channel 5052 are radially provided on the second hollow channel 505. The first branch oil channel 5051 leads to the electromagnetic clutch push ring, and the second branch oil channel 5052 leads to the needle bearing 503, so that the electromagnetic clutch push ring and the needle bearing 503 can be lubricated.

[0122] The present invention controls the on-off of the generator oil circuit by switching the electromagnetic valve. When the generator is not working, the flow resistance of the oil circuit system is reduced, the working power of the oil pump is reduced, and the working efficiency of the lubrication and cooling system is improved. The present invention also cools the stator and rotor of the drive motor through the drive motor oil circuit; cools the stator of the generator through the generator oil circuit; lubricates the bearings of the reducer through the reduction system oil circuit; and lubricates the gears and bearings of the speed increaser through the speed increase system oil circuit. The present invention also lubricates the bearings and electromagnetic clutch push ring installed on the engine input shaft through the ninth oil channel.

[0123] The above description is only the principle and preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several other modifications can be made based on the principle of the present invention, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
