Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a vehicle transmission and a hybrid power system. Background Art

[0002] The sales of hybrid vehicles are increasing rapidly in the market due to their high fuel efficiency and good maneuverability. Hybrid vehicles have a hybrid power system, which usually includes an electric motor and a hybrid transmission (DHT). The choice of the hybrid system has a profound positive impact on the performance characteristics of the vehicle.

[0003] According to the number of motors, hybrid systems can be roughly divided into single motor type, dual motor type and multi-motor type, among which dual motor type is becoming more and more common. One motor is used as a drive motor to drive the vehicle, and the other motor is used as a generator to convert the engine's mechanical energy into electrical energy to charge the vehicle battery, and the battery's power is supplied to the drive motor. During the operation of the vehicle, when the battery SOC is low, the engine can run in parallel with the drive motor, charging the battery through the generator and / or directly providing energy to the drive motor.

[0004] Therefore, the engine can operate within its most efficient operating range, thereby achieving the best fuel economy state. In addition, when the drive motor is insufficient due to low battery SOC or close to the physical limit, the engine can also be used to directly provide driving force to the wheels. Since the drive motor can compensate for torque during the gear shifting process, the number of gears in the hybrid transmission can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the weight, complexity and cost of the transmission system. However, due to the greatly reduced number of gears in the hybrid power transmission, the engine cannot be used at very low vehicle speeds and is usually driven only by the drive motor. Under conditions requiring a large amount of continuous driving energy, especially under high load, trailer use, high road slope conditions, etc., the battery SOC is very low under these conditions, and the performance is limited if only the drive motor is driven, or the engine can be used for driving, but due to the gear limitations of the hybrid transmission, the performance is not as good as the drive motor, and it gives customers a feeling of reduced performance.

Figure 6-Figure 9 The arrows in the middle correspond to the direction of power flow.

[0072] Hereinafter, a method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 6-Figure 9 working mode.

In this mode, the power flow can generate a higher continuous drive shaft torque when the vehicle speed is low. When necessary, the engine Engine can continuously output the maximum power in a wider range of low vehicle speeds, thereby meeting the high load requirements of the vehicle at low speeds without affecting the normal driving of the vehicle.

In this mode, the power flow can generate a higher continuous drive shaft torque when the vehicle speed is high. When necessary, the engine Engine can continuously output the maximum power in a wider range of vehicle high speeds, thereby meeting the high-load requirements of the vehicle at high speeds without affecting the normal driving of the vehicle.

[0079] It should be noted that the low-speed and high-load mode can be selected when the vehicle speed is less than the first speed, and the high-speed and high-load mode can be selected when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the first speed, wherein the first speed can be set according to the specific test results of the vehicle, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.

[0080] refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, in the series mode, the first torque transmission mechanism 20 controls the second component 12 to be disconnected from the first motor MG1, and the first torque transmission mechanism 20 controls the engine Engine to be connected to the first motor MG1, and the second torque transmission mechanism 30 controls the engine Engine to be disconnected from the output shaft 70. When the vehicle transmission includes a first gear set 40, a third gear set 60, and a fifth gear set 90, the first torque transmission mechanism 20 is further configured to selectively drive the first gear set 40 to the first motor MG1, the first gear set 40 is connected to the second component 12, the second torque transmission mechanism 30 is configured to selectively drive the third gear set 60 to the output shaft 70, the third gear set 60 is connected to the first component 11, and the fifth gear set 90 is connected between the third component 13 and the output shaft 70, at this time, the first gear set 40, the third gear set 60, and the fifth gear set 90 are idle. At this time, the power of the engine Engine is converted into electrical energy through the first motor MG1, and then transmitted to the second motor MG2, and finally transmitted to the output shaft 70. In this mode, the drive shaft torque and engine power can meet normal driving needs.

[0081] refer to Fig. 9 In some embodiments, in the parallel mode, the first torque transmission mechanism 20 controls the second component 12 to be disconnected from the first motor MG1, and the first torque transmission mechanism 20 controls the engine Engine to be disconnected from the first motor MG1, and the second torque transmission mechanism 30 controls the engine Engine to be connected to the output shaft 70. When the vehicle transmission includes a first gear set 40, a second gear set 50, and a fifth gear set 90, the first torque transmission mechanism 20 is configured to selectively drive the first gear set 40 to the first motor MG1, the first gear set 40 is connected to the second component 12, the first torque transmission mechanism 20 is further configured to selectively drive the second gear set 50 to the first motor MG1, the second gear set 50 is connected to the engine Engine, and the fifth gear set 90 is connected between the third component 13 and the output shaft 70, at this time, the first gear set 40, the second gear set 50, and the fifth gear set 90 are idle. At this time, the power of the engine Engine is directly transmitted to the output shaft 70. In this mode, the engine generates the continuous average power required for driving, and the second motor MG2 responds to the dynamic fluctuations that occur during driving. This mode has higher efficiency when driving on the highway.

[0082] The vehicle transmission in the hybrid system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can achieve the performance required by the vehicle in different working modes through the differential gear device 10, the first torque transmission mechanism 20 and the second torque transmission mechanism 30.
