Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a power drive system, and particularly to a hybrid drive system, a motorcycle and a drive method. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing emphasis on new energy, hybrid systems have been fully developed in the automotive industry. Representative brands at home and abroad include Honda, Toyota, BYD, etc. The hybrid vehicles they launched have received wide acclaim from users and tend to replace traditional fuel vehicles. Influenced by the development of the automotive industry, the motorcycle industry has also started to develop towards hybrid systems. Representative brands at home and abroad include Honda, BMW, Dayang, etc.; The hybrid system uses electricity to replace part of the engine fuel power, which can avoid the reliability problems of overly large batteries and insufficient battery life compared to pure electric systems, and can reduce fuel consumption, save energy and reduce emissions compared to pure fuel systems.

[0003] Chinese Patent Document CN110027400B discloses a dual-motor hybrid system, including an engine (1), a clutch (2), a first motor (3), and a second motor (4). Among them: the clutch (2) includes a driving hub (201) and a driven hub (202). The driving hub (201) is fixedly connected to the crankshaft of the engine (1), and the driven hub (202) is fixedly connected to the first end of the driving shaft (17); the first motor (3) includes a stator (301) and a rotor (302). The rotor (302) is fixedly connected to the driven hub (202), so that the power output by the engine (1) and the first motor (3) can utilize the state change of the clutch (2) to simultaneously output to the transmission or independently output to the transmission. The first motor (3) and the second motor (4) are provided, so that the hybrid system can utilize the coordinated work between the two motors and the internal combustion engine to adapt to complex driving conditions and improve fuel economy.

[0004] In this prior art, the hybrid system is provided with multiple operating modes, which can adapt to different driving conditions and improve fuel economy. However, in this prior art, when the vehicle needs to accelerate urgently, there is a problem that the power is insufficient, resulting in the vehicle being unable to complete the acceleration smoothly. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the problem that the power is insufficient when the vehicle accelerates urgently in the hybrid system of the prior art, the present invention provides a hybrid drive system, including a battery, a first motor, a second motor, an engine and a clutch. The battery is connected to the first motor and the second motor. The engine provides power to the whole vehicle through the engagement of the clutch, and the second motor provides power to the whole vehicle; When the vehicle enters a rapid acceleration, the clutch is in an engaged state, the engine and the second motor jointly provide power for the whole vehicle, and the first motor generates electricity when the SOC value of the battery is low.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, in the present invention, when the vehicle enters a rapid acceleration, the engine and the second motor jointly provide the power for the whole vehicle, which can ensure the power required during the rapid acceleration of the vehicle. However, considering that there is still a situation of insufficient power during rapid acceleration, it may be because the battery is low and unable to drive the second motor to work. Therefore, in the present invention, when the SOC value of the battery is relatively low, the first motor generates electricity, and thus the battery stores electricity, which can ensure the normal operation of the second motor, thereby providing the power required during the rapid acceleration of the vehicle, and being able to ensure that the vehicle completes the rapid acceleration smoothly, ensuring higher power and sufficient endurance of the vehicle.

[0007] Preferably, the output end of the second motor outputs power through a single-stage reduction structure. In this solution, the selection of the single-stage reduction structure has less loss of function compared with multi-stage reduction.

[0008] Preferably, the first motor is located on the left crank of the engine, and the clutch is connected to the engine crankshaft through a gear structure. In this solution, the selection of the positions of the first motor and the clutch makes the hybrid drive system structure compact.

[0009] Preferably, the gear structure includes a driving gear and a driven gear that mesh with each other. The driving gear is installed on the crankshaft of the engine, and the driven gear meshes with the clutch.

[0010] Preferably, the clutch transmits the power output outward through a transmission shaft, and the engine and the clutch output power through a single-stage reduction structure. In this solution, the selection of the single-stage reduction structure has less loss of function compared with multi-stage reduction.

[0011] Preferably, the motor shaft of the second motor is connected to the transmission shaft.

[0012] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a motorcycle, including wheels, and further including the hybrid drive system as described in any one of the above. The motor shaft of the second motor is connected to the wheels through a sprocket structure.

[0013] In a third aspect, the present invention also provides a driving method for a motorcycle, adopting the hybrid drive system as described in any one of the above, having six working modes, including the following steps: When the vehicle starts and is at a low speed, the pure electric mode is adopted: the engine and the first motor do not work, the clutch is in a disengaged state, and the second motor provides the power for the whole vehicle; in the pure electric mode, the power transmission direction is: second motor - sprocket structure - wheels; When the vehicle is stable and transitions to the series mode: the engine works, the first motor generates electricity, the clutch is in a disengaged state, and the second motor provides the power for the whole vehicle; in the series mode, the power transmission direction is: second motor - sprocket structure - wheels; When the vehicle enters medium and high speeds, it transitions to the pure fuel mode: The engine operates, the first motor does not operate, the clutch is engaged, the second motor does not operate. In the pure fuel mode, the power transmission direction is: engine - gear structure - transmission shaft - sprocket structure - wheels; When the vehicle enters rapid acceleration, it transitions to the parallel mode: The engine provides power for the whole vehicle, the first motor generates electricity when the battery SOC value is low, the clutch is engaged, the second motor provides power for the whole vehicle. In the parallel mode, the power transmission direction is: engine - gear structure - transmission shaft - power coupling of the output shaft of the second motor - sprocket structure - wheels; When the battery has low power, it enters the parking power generation mode: The engine operates, the first motor generates electricity, the clutch is disengaged, and the second motor does not operate; When the vehicle brakes or decelerates, it transitions to the energy recovery mode: The clutch is disengaged, and the second motor generates electricity to recover the power during braking or deceleration at the wheels.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: In the present invention, when starting and at low speeds, the whole vehicle is driven by the second motor, avoiding the high fuel consumption area of the engine. When the battery power of the whole vehicle is insufficient, the engine can drive the first motor to generate electricity. At this time, the engine is decoupled from the vehicle speed, and the engine can stably and continuously operate in the high-efficiency range. When the vehicle load matches the high-efficiency point of the engine, such as at medium and high speeds, the engine can directly intervene in the whole vehicle drive through the control of the clutch, combined with an efficient transmission structure, effectively reducing the fuel consumption and emissions of the whole vehicle.

Specifically, the gear structure includes the driving gear 9 and the driven gear 10 that mesh with each other. The clutch 11 is located on the right side of the driven gear 10, and its power output end cooperates with the transmission shaft 12 to control the engagement and separation of the driven gear 10 and the output shaft; The second motor 4 is installed on the engine 1 housing. The motor shaft 5 of the second motor 4 is connected to the transmission shaft 12, and the output end of the second motor 4 outputs power through a primary reduction structure. Specifically, the primary reduction structure connected to the second motor 4 includes a driving sprocket 6, a chain 7, and a driven sprocket 8. One end of the motor shaft 5 is connected to the transmission shaft 12, and the output shaft at the other end is installed with the driving sprocket 6, which is linked to the driven sprocket 8 through the chain 7, and the driven sprocket 8 is connected to the wheel 13.

[0020] In this embodiment, a motorcycle is also disclosed, which includes a wheel 13 and also includes the hybrid drive system as described in any one of the above. The motor shaft 5 of the second motor 4 is connected to the wheel 13 through a sprocket structure.

[0021] A driving method of a motorcycle, using the hybrid drive system as described in any one of the above, has six working modes, including the following steps: When starting and running at low speed of the vehicle, the pure electric mode is adopted: the engine 1 and the first motor 3 do not work, the clutch 11 is in a disengaged state, and the second motor 4 provides power for the whole vehicle; in the pure electric mode, the power transmission direction is: the second motor 4 - the driving sprocket 6 - the chain 7 - the driven sprocket 8 - the wheel 13; When the vehicle is stable, it transitions to the series mode: the engine 1 works, the first motor 3 generates electricity, the clutch 11 is in a disengaged state, and the second motor 4 provides power for the whole vehicle; in the series mode, the power transmission direction is: the second motor 4 - the driving sprocket 6 - the chain 7 - the driven sprocket 8 - the wheel 13; When the vehicle enters medium and high speeds, it transitions to the pure fuel mode: The engine 1 operates, the first motor 3 does not operate, the clutch 11 is in the engaged state, the second motor 4 does not operate. In the pure fuel mode, the power transmission direction is: engine 1 - driving gear 9 - driven gear 10 - transmission shaft 12 - driving sprocket 6 - chain 7 - driven sprocket 8 - wheel 13; When the vehicle enters rapid acceleration, it transitions to the parallel mode: The engine 1 provides power for the whole vehicle. The first motor 3 generates electricity when the battery SOC value is low. The clutch 11 is in the engaged state. The second motor 4 provides power for the whole vehicle. In the parallel mode, the power transmission direction is: engine 1 - driving gear 9 - driven gear 10 - transmission shaft 12 - power coupling of the output shaft of the second motor 4 - driving sprocket 6 - chain 7 - driven sprocket 8 - wheel 13; When the battery has low power, it enters the parking power generation mode: The engine 1 operates, the first motor 3 generates electricity, the clutch 11 is in the disengaged state, and the second motor 4 does not operate; When the vehicle brakes or decelerates, it transitions to the energy recovery mode: The clutch 11 is in the disengaged state, and the second motor 4 generates electricity to recover the power during braking or deceleration at the wheel 13.

[0022] During the above process, the vehicle state can be determined by collecting the changes in the throttle signal and speed.

[0023] When the vehicle starts, the pure electric mode is preferentially used; after the vehicle starts and runs stably, the engine 1 starts. When the engine 1 reaches the high - efficiency fuel consumption range, it transitions to the series mode; if the battery SOC value is too low at startup, parking power generation is preferentially performed. When the vehicle is at medium and high speeds, the pure fuel mode is used. If rapid acceleration is performed, the parallel mode is used to provide stronger power. When the battery has low power, while the engine 1 is driving, the first motor 3 can generate electricity.
