Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of electric vehicle transmission, and in particular relates to a gear ring-less parallel-axis multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, electric vehicles have experienced rapid growth thanks to their advantages of zero emissions, high integration, fast response, and precise control. Currently, electric vehicles account for over half of the passenger car market and are penetrating the high-end vehicle market, directly competing with traditional high-end fuel vehicles. As the power source of electric vehicles, the electric drive system directly determines the upper limit of vehicle performance. Therefore, the development of high-performance electric drive systems and related technologies is key to enhancing the competitiveness of high-end electric vehicles in the market.

[0003] The core fundamental performance of a high-performance electric drive system primarily includes power performance, driving efficiency, and the ability to transfer drive torque between the wheels. However, existing electric drive systems rarely achieve all three of these performance advantages simultaneously. This is primarily due to the lack of flexibility in the power distribution among the motors in existing high-performance multi-motor drive systems. Under normal loads, the motors in these electric drive systems often operate in a low efficiency range, ultimately resulting in low overall drive efficiency for the electric drive system.

[0004] The inventors have previously developed a series of domestic and international invention patents for multi-mode dual-motor coupled torque-oriented distribution drive systems. Not only does this achieve torque-oriented distribution in a centralized electric drive system by adding a second motor, but by also adding mechanical coupling devices and control actuators such as clutches, brakes, and synchronizers, the electric drive system can apply dual-motor coupled drive technology and torque-oriented distribution technology in a time-sharing manner, thereby achieving strong power, high drive efficiency, and the ability to achieve torque-oriented distribution from 0:100 to 100:0 in a single drive unit. The inventors' technical solution can comprehensively enhance the power, economy, handling stability, maneuverability, and passability of electric vehicles, addressing, to a certain extent, the difficulty of existing high-performance multi-motor drive systems in simultaneously addressing the three core performance requirements of high-performance electric drive systems. Therefore, this technical solution has great application potential in high-end electric vehicles.

[0005] However, several electric drive system configuration schemes previously proposed by the inventor all have problems such as complex component structures and high processing costs, which to some extent hinder the engineering application of this technical solution.

[0006] The main causes of these problems are the coaxial layout and the use of numerous ring gears. This creates a large number of "shaft-in-shaft" structures, which poses significant challenges to the structural and support design of the shafting system. The use of numerous ring gears also necessitates that the production of electric drive systems relies on high-precision internal gear machining processes, resulting in high processing costs.

[0007] Therefore, the multi-mode dual-motor coupled torque directional distribution drive system configuration based on a coaxial arrangement that avoids the use of a ring gear will be a configuration with greater engineering application value and greater application potential in high-end electric vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a gearless parallel shaft multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system that can realize dual-motor coupling drive and torque directional distribution through synchronizer control time sharing, which has five drive modes: main motor independent resistance drive mode, main motor independent high-gear drive mode, torque directional distribution mode, dual-motor torque coupling drive mode and dual-motor speed coupling drive mode.

[0009] In the main motor independent low-gear drive mode, only the main drive motor outputs power to drive the vehicle, with a large gear ratio. This drive mode allows the vehicle to travel with low energy consumption and relatively high drive torque.

[0010] In the main motor independent high-gear drive mode, only the main drive motor outputs power to drive the vehicle, with a smaller gear ratio. This drive mode allows the vehicle to travel at a relatively high speed with less energy consumption.

[0011] In torque-oriented distribution mode, the output torque of the main drive motor is used to drive the vehicle, while the output torque of the auxiliary drive motor is used to generate differential torque between the left and right half-axles. This driving mode allows the vehicle's driving torque to be distributed arbitrarily between the left and right wheels.

[0012] In dual-motor torque coupling drive mode, the main drive motor's output serves as the primary driving force, while the auxiliary drive motor acts as a power assist motor. This drive mode provides a higher upper limit on the vehicle's driving torque and offers better dynamics.

[0013] In the dual-motor speed-coupled drive mode, the power output by the main drive motor serves as the primary power source for the vehicle, while the auxiliary drive motor serves as the speed-regulating motor. This drive mode offers better energy efficiency for the vehicle.

[0014] In order to achieve the above purpose, the following technical solutions are adopted:

[0024] The differential coupling mechanism is comprised of a WW-type planetary gear mechanism with two sun gears and two sets of planetary gears. Depending on the drive mode, the differential coupling mechanism is used to generate a pair of reverse torques, transmit power from the auxiliary drive motor, and interrupt the auxiliary drive motor's power transmission path.

[0025] The differential coupling mechanism mainly includes a third sun gear, a fourth sun gear, a third planet gear, a third planet shaft, a fourth planet gear, a fourth planet shaft and a second planet carrier.

[0026] Among them, the third sun gear is a gear shaft, which is rotatably supported on the second planetary carrier through a needle roller bearing, and the end of its shaft is processed with an external spline, which is spline-connected to the output shaft of the auxiliary drive motor as the input end of the differential coupling mechanism; the third planetary gear is meshed with the third sun gear for transmission, and is rotatably supported on the third planetary shaft through a needle roller bearing; the fourth planetary gear is meshed with the third planetary gear for transmission, and is rotatably supported on the fourth planetary shaft through a needle roller bearing; the third planetary shaft and the fourth planetary shaft are both mounted on the second planetary carrier; the fourth sun gear is also a gear shaft, which is meshed with the fourth planetary gear for transmission, and is rotatably supported on the second planetary carrier through a needle roller bearing, and the end of its shaft is processed with an internal spline, which is the first output end of the differential coupling mechanism; the left end of the second planetary carrier is processed with an external spline, which is the second output end of the differential coupling mechanism.

[0027] The main body of the differential mechanism is also a WW type planetary gear mechanism, which has two sun gears and two sets of planetary gears for realizing the differential function.

[0029] Among them, the fifth sun gear is a gear shaft, which is rotatably supported on the third planet carrier through a needle roller bearing, and the end of the shaft is processed with an external spline; the fifth planet gear is meshed with the fifth sun gear for transmission, and is rotatably supported on the fifth planet shaft through a needle roller bearing; the sixth planet gear is meshed with the fifth planet gear for transmission, and is rotatably supported on the sixth planet shaft through a needle roller bearing; the fifth planet shaft and the sixth planet shaft are both mounted on the third planet carrier; the sixth sun gear is also a gear shaft, which is meshed with the sixth planet gear for transmission, and is rotatably supported on the sixth planet shaft through a needle roller bearing. The third planetary carrier is rotatably supported on the third planetary carrier, and the end of its shaft is connected to the right half-shaft as the right output end of the gearless parallel shaft multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system; the right end of the third planetary carrier is processed with an external spline; the inner hole of the driven gear of the main reducer is processed with an internal spline, which is spline-connected to the right end of the third planetary carrier; the second speed regulating gear is a gear shaft, the right end of which is processed with a blind hole, and the blind hole is processed with an internal spline, which is spline-connected to the fifth sun gear, and the end of its shaft is connected to the left half-shaft as the left output end of the gearless parallel shaft multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system.

[0030] The fifth sun gear and the sixth sun gear have the same number of teeth.

[0031] The core component of the first synchronization mechanism is a lock ring synchronizer, which is used to change the function of the power coupling mechanism and has three states: left engagement, neutral position and right engagement.

[0032] The first synchronization mechanism mainly includes a first lock ring synchronizer, a first shift fork assembly, a first center shaft, a fixed shaft and a main reducer driving gear.

[0033] Among them, the core components of the first lock ring synchronizer include a first spline hub, a first engagement sleeve, a first left engagement ring gear, a first left locking ring, a first right engagement ring gear and a first right locking ring; the first shift fork assembly consists of a first shift fork, a first slider and a first eccentric shaft.

[0034] The first center shaft is a stepped shaft, and the left end, middle section and right end of the shaft are all processed with external splines.

[0035] The first shift fork is a semi-circular part with an eccentric boss, and a through hole is machined at the center axis position. The first slider is rotatably supported in the through hole, and its side surface contacts the inner side surface of the outer circular groove of the first coupling sleeve; the first eccentric shaft is rotatably supported on the housing through a needle bearing, and one end of the shaft is machined with an internal spline, which is spline-connected to the output shaft of the first synchronous mechanism control motor, and the other end of the shaft is machined with a boss with a through hole, which is fixed to the eccentric boss of the first shift fork by screws.

[0036] When the drive mode needs to be switched, the first synchronization mechanism controls the motor to drive the first eccentric shaft to rotate, thereby driving the first shift fork to rotate a certain angle around the first eccentric shaft, and then driving the first engagement sleeve to move axially a certain distance through the first slider, thereby changing the working state of the first lock-ring synchronizer.

[0037] The core component of the second synchronization mechanism is also a lock ring synchronizer, which is used to change the function of the differential coupling mechanism and also has three states: left engagement, neutral position and right engagement.

[0038] The second synchronization mechanism mainly includes a second lock ring synchronizer, a second shift fork assembly, a second center shaft, an outer shaft and a first speed regulating gear.

[0039] Among them, the core components of the second lock ring synchronizer include a second spline hub, a second engagement sleeve, a second left engagement ring gear, a second left lock ring, a second right engagement ring gear and a second right lock ring; the second shift fork assembly consists of a second shift fork, a second slider and a second eccentric shaft.

[0040] The second center shaft is a stepped shaft, and the left end, middle section and right end of the shaft are all processed with splines. The spline at the left end is an external spline, which is connected to the fourth sun gear spline of the differential coupling mechanism, and the spline at the middle section is also an external spline, which is connected to the second right engaging ring gear spline, and the spline at the right end is an internal spline, which is connected to the left end spline of the first center shaft of the first synchronization mechanism; the outer shaft is rotatably supported on the second center shaft by a needle roller bearing, and the right end is processed with an external spline, which is connected to the second right engaging ring gear spline, and the left end is processed with an internal spline, which is connected to the second planetary carrier spline of the differential coupling mechanism; the first speed regulating gear is rotatably supported on the outer shaft by a needle roller bearing, and is meshed with the second speed regulating gear for transmission, and the right end is processed with an external spline and is connected to the second left engaging ring gear spline.

[0041] The second shift fork is also a semi-circular part with an eccentric boss, and a through hole is machined at the center axis position. The second slider is rotatably supported in the through hole, and its side surface contacts the inner side surface of the outer circular groove of the second coupling sleeve; the second eccentric shaft is rotatably supported on the housing through a needle roller bearing, and one end of the shaft is machined with an internal spline, which is spline-connected to the output shaft of the second synchronous mechanism control motor, and the other end of the shaft is machined with a boss with a through hole, which is fixed to the eccentric boss of the second shift fork by screws.

[0042] When the drive mode needs to be switched, the second synchronization mechanism controls the motor to drive the second eccentric shaft to rotate, thereby driving the second shift fork to rotate a certain angle around the second eccentric shaft, and then driving the second engagement sleeve to move axially a certain distance through the second slider, thereby changing the working state of the second lock-ring synchronizer.

[0043] In order to achieve the equal and opposite characteristics of the differential torque of the left and right half shafts, the number of teeth of the first speed regulating gear is z t1 , the number of teeth z of the second speed regulating gear t2 , the number of teeth z of the third sun gear s3 , the number of teeth z of the fourth sun gear s4 , the number of teeth z of the main reducer driving gear m1 and the number of teeth z of the driven gear of the main reducer m2 Satisfies the following relationship:

[0044]

[0045] A gearless parallel shaft multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system is characterized in that, by controlling the first synchronization mechanism to control the motor and the second synchronization mechanism to control the motor, the gearless parallel shaft multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system can switch between five drive modes, namely, a main motor independent low-gear drive mode, a main motor independent high-gear drive mode, a torque directional distribution mode, a dual-motor torque coupling drive mode, and a dual-motor speed coupling drive mode.

[0046] When the first synchronizer mechanism is in the left engagement state and the second synchronizer mechanism is in the neutral state, the gear ring-less parallel shaft multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system operates in the main motor independent low-gear drive mode.

[0047] At this time, the first sun gear of the power coupling mechanism is connected to the housing through the first lock-ring synchronizer, and the power coupling mechanism acts as a reducer; the differential coupling mechanism is in a free state, cutting off the power transmission route of the auxiliary drive motor.

[0048] At this time, the power output by the main drive motor is output to the left and right half shafts through the differential action of the differential mechanism after the two-stage deceleration and torque increase action of the power coupling mechanism and the main reducer (composed of the main reducer driving gear and the main reducer driven gear).

[0049] In the main motor independent low-gear drive mode, the input-output characteristics of the gearless parallel-axis multi-mode dual-motor coupled drive system satisfy the following relationship:

[0050]

[0051] Where, T l ,T r ,n l ,n r are the output torque and output speed of the left and right half shafts respectively; T m ,n m are the output torque and output speed of the main drive motor respectively; s1 ,z s2 are the number of teeth of the first sun gear and the second sun gear respectively.

[0052] When the first synchronizer mechanism is in the right engagement state and the second synchronizer mechanism is in the neutral state, the gear ring-less parallel shaft multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system operates in the main motor independent high-gear drive mode.

[0053] At this time, the first sun gear of the power coupling mechanism is connected to the main reducer driving gear through the first lock-ring synchronizer, and then connected to the first planetary carrier of the power coupling mechanism. The power coupling mechanism is in a locked state; the differential coupling mechanism is in a free state, cutting off the power transmission route of the auxiliary drive motor.

[0054] At this time, the power output by the main drive motor is output to the left and right half shafts through the differential action of the differential mechanism after the two-stage deceleration and torque increase effect of the main reducer.

[0055] In the main motor independent high-gear drive mode, the input-output characteristics of the gearless parallel-axis multi-mode dual-motor coupled drive system satisfy the following relationship:

[0056]

[0057] When the first synchronizer mechanism is in the right engagement state and the second synchronizer mechanism is in the left engagement state, the gear ring-less parallel-axis multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system operates in the torque-oriented distribution mode.

[0058] At this time, the first sun gear of the power coupling mechanism is connected to the main reducer driving gear through the first lock-ring synchronizer, and then connected to the first planetary carrier of the power coupling mechanism, and the power coupling mechanism is in a locked state; the fourth sun gear of the differential coupling mechanism is connected to the first center shaft through the second center shaft, and then connected to the power coupling mechanism; the second planetary carrier of the differential coupling mechanism is connected to the first speed regulating gear through the second lock-ring synchronizer, and thus meshes with the second speed regulating gear (connected to the left half shaft) for transmission.

[0059] At this time, the power output by the main drive motor is output to the left and right half-shafts through the differential action of the differential mechanism after the first-stage deceleration and torque increase action of the main reducer; the torque output by the auxiliary drive motor is converted into two torques in opposite directions through the differential coupling mechanism, and these two torques are respectively converted into a pair of equal and opposite torques after passing through the speed regulating gear pair (composed of the first speed regulating gear and the second speed regulating gear) and the deceleration and torque increase action of the main reducer and act on the left half-shaft and the third planetary carrier respectively, and finally are converted into equal and opposite differential torques acting on the left and right half-shafts respectively under the action of the WW type planetary gear mechanism (composed of the fifth sun gear, the sixth sun gear, the fifth planetary gear, the fifth planetary shaft, the sixth planetary gear, the sixth planetary shaft and the third planetary carrier) of the differential mechanism.

[0060] In the torque-oriented distribution mode, the input-output characteristics of the gearless parallel-axis multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system satisfy the following relationship:

[0061]

[0062] Where, T a ,n a are the output torque and output speed of the auxiliary drive motor respectively.

[0063] When the first synchronization mechanism and the second synchronization mechanism are both in the right engagement state, the gear ring-less parallel shaft multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system operates in the dual-motor torque coupling drive mode.

[0064] At this time, the first sun gear of the power coupling mechanism is connected to the main reducer driving gear through the first lock-ring synchronizer, and is further connected to the first planet carrier of the power coupling mechanism, and the power coupling mechanism is in a locked state; the second planet carrier of the differential coupling mechanism is connected to the first center shaft through the second lock-ring synchronizer, and is further connected to the fourth sun gear of the differential coupling mechanism, and the differential coupling mechanism is also in a locked state.

[0065] At this time, the power output by the main drive motor is output to the left and right half-shafts through the differential action of the differential mechanism after the first-stage deceleration and torque increase action of the main reducer; the power output by the auxiliary drive motor is also output to the left and right half-shafts through the differential action of the differential mechanism after the first-stage deceleration and torque increase action of the main reducer.

[0066] In the dual-motor torque coupling drive mode, the input-output characteristics of the gearless parallel-axis multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system satisfy the following relationship:

[0067]

[0068] When the first synchronization mechanism is in a neutral state and the second synchronization mechanism is in a right engagement state, the gear ring-less parallel shaft multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system operates in a dual-motor speed coupling drive mode.

[0069] At this time, the power coupling mechanism is a two-input single-output transmission mechanism, and its two input ends are respectively connected to the power transmission paths of the main drive motor and the auxiliary drive motor; the second planetary carrier of the differential coupling mechanism is connected to the first center shaft through the second lock ring synchronizer, and then connected to the fourth sun gear of the differential coupling mechanism, and the differential coupling mechanism is in a locked state.

[0070] At this time, the power output by the main drive motor and the auxiliary drive motor first undergoes the speed coupling action of the power coupling mechanism, then undergoes the first-stage deceleration and torque increase action of the main reducer, and finally is output to the left and right half-shafts through the differential action of the differential mechanism.

[0071] In the dual-motor speed coupling drive mode, the input-output characteristics of the gearless parallel-axis multi-mode dual-motor coupling drive system satisfy the following relationship:

[0072]

[0073] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0074] 1. The gearless parallel-axis multi-mode dual-motor coupled drive system described in the present invention fully utilizes the complementarity between torque-oriented distribution technology and dual-motor coupled drive technology in their application conditions. This technical solution improves the utilization rate of the auxiliary drive motor through mode switching, allowing the vehicle to simultaneously obtain the technical advantages of torque-oriented distribution and dual-motor coupled drive. In the torque-oriented distribution drive mode, the present invention can achieve arbitrary distribution of driving torque between the left and right wheels of the vehicle. Compared with the traditional electronic stability control system (ESP / VDC) that relies on differential braking, it avoids power loss and effectively improves the vehicle's power, economy, handling stability, and driving pleasure. In the torque coupling mode, the auxiliary drive motor's power assist enhances the vehicle's overall power performance, providing the vehicle with stronger acceleration and climbing capabilities. In the speed coupling mode, the auxiliary drive motor's speed regulation allows the main drive motor to operate more in the high-efficiency range, effectively improving the driving efficiency of the electric drive system and achieving better overall vehicle energy economy.

[0075] 2. The gearless, parallel-axis, multi-mode, dual-motor coupled drive system described in this invention utilizes two lock-ring synchronizers to switch between the power coupling mechanism and the differential coupling mechanism, thereby enabling the electric drive system to switch between five drive modes. This design achieves multiple drive mode transitions with a reduced number of control actuators, resulting in a streamlined system architecture and reliable operation.

[0076] 3. Compared to the multi-mode dual-motor coupled drive system proposed earlier by the inventors, the ringless parallel-axis multi-mode dual-motor coupled drive system described in the present invention utilizes a parallel-axis arrangement and eliminates the need for a ring gear through the use of a WW-type planetary gear mechanism. The parallel-axis arrangement is simple and reliable, eliminating the need for hollow shafts and the "shaft-in-sleeve" structure. The ringless design also eliminates the need for machining internal gears, significantly reducing machining costs. These advantages give the present invention greater engineering potential and industrial application prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
