Traditional vehicles mostly use fossil fuels (such as gasoline and diesel) to power their engines, which pollute the environment and violate energy conservation and environmental protection requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to use pollution-free new energy sources (such as electricity) to replace fossil fuels to power vehicles.

[0003] Currently, hybrid vehicles (HEVs) are gaining popularity in the new energy vehicle sector, thanks to their superior energy conservation and emission reduction capabilities, as well as their excellent user experience.

[0051] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

These directional terms are used only to more clearly describe the relationships between structures and are not intended to describe absolute positions.

[0053] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of the present application have the same meanings as commonly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0054] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] An embodiment of the present application provides a hybrid power system, which is applied to vehicles, including but not limited to sedans, buses, trucks, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs).

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the hybrid system includes an engine 1 , a first motor 2 , a second motor 3 , a first planetary gear train 4 , a second planetary gear train 5 , a transmission gear set 6 , an output shaft 7 and a clutch set 8 .

[0057] The engine 1 is respectively connected to the first motor 2 and the first planetary gear train 4 in a transmission manner, the second motor 3 is connected to the second planetary gear train 5 in a transmission manner, and the first motor 2 and the second motor 3 are electrically connected.

[0058] The transmission gear set 6 is respectively connected to the first planetary gear train 4 , the second planetary gear train 5 and the output shaft 7 , and the output shaft 7 is used to connect to the wheel 100 .

[0059] The clutch group 8 is connected to the engine 1 and the first planetary gear train 4 respectively.

[0060] Among them, the hybrid power system further includes a power battery pack, an inverter, and a transformer. The power battery pack is electrically connected to the first motor 2 and the second motor 3 respectively. After the inverter and the transformer convert the direct current output by the power battery pack into three-phase alternating current, the power battery pack can supply electrical energy to the first motor 2 and the second motor 3. When the first motor 2 and the second motor 3 are driven by an external force, the first motor 2 and the second motor 3 can charge the battery pack.

[0061] The first planetary gear train 4 is used to adjust the transmission ratio between the engine 1 and the output shaft 7. For example, it can achieve deceleration and torque increase between the engine 1 and the output shaft 7, so that the engine 1 exerts a greater driving force on the output shaft 7, and thus drives the wheel 100 through the output shaft 7.

[0062] The second planetary gear train 5 is used to adjust the transmission ratio between the second motor 3 and the output shaft 7. For example, it can achieve deceleration and torque increase between the second motor 3 and the output shaft 7, so that the second motor 3 exerts a greater driving force on the output shaft 7, and thus drives the wheel 100 through the output shaft 7.

[0063] The transmission gear set 6 is used to realize the transmission connection between the output shaft 7 and the first planetary gear train 4 and the second planetary gear train 5, so that the engine 1 and the second motor 3 can transmit power to the output shaft 7.

[0064] The clutch set 8 can change the connection state between the engine 1 and the first planetary gear train 4 through its own engagement or disengagement, thereby changing the power transmission path between the engine 1, the first planetary gear train 4 and the transmission gear set 6, and improving the flexibility and applicability of the hybrid power system.

[0065] The embodiment of the present application provides a hybrid power system. By setting the engine 1 and the first planetary gear train 4 to be transmission-connected, and the first planetary gear train 4 is respectively connected to the transmission gear set 6 and the output shaft 7, the engine 1 can drive the output shaft 7 through the first planetary gear train 4 and the transmission gear set 6, and then drive the wheel 100; by setting the second motor 3 to be transmission-connected to the second planetary gear train 5, and the second planetary gear train 5 is connected to the transmission gear set 6, the second motor 3 can drive the output shaft 7 through the second planetary gear train 5 and the transmission gear set 6, and then drive the wheel 100; since the engine 1 is transmission-connected to the first motor 2, and the first motor 2 and the second motor 3 are electrically connected, the engine 1 can drive the first motor 2 to generate electricity, provide power for the second motor 3 and charge the power battery pack, realizing a series drive mode; since the clutch set 8 is respectively connected to the engine 1 and the first planetary gear train 4, therefore, through the engagement or disengagement of the clutch set 8, the switching of the transmission path and the working mode of the engine 1 can be realized, and further the switching of the power source of the hybrid power system can be realized, so that the hybrid power system can at least realize a pure electric drive mode, a series drive mode, an engine 1 single drive mode, etc., greatly enriching the working modes of the hybrid power system.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the first planetary gear train 4 includes a first sun gear 41, a first planetary gear 42, a first planetary carrier 43, a first ring gear 44, a second sun gear 45, a second planetary gear 46, a second planetary carrier 47 and a second ring gear 48. Figure 2 As shown, the clutch group 8 includes a first clutch 81 , a second clutch 82 , a third clutch 83 and a fourth clutch 84 .

[0067] The first planetary gear 42 is located on the outer periphery of the first sun gear 41 and meshes with the first sun gear 41 . The first planetary gear 42 is mounted on the first planetary carrier 43 . The first ring gear 44 surrounds the outer periphery of the first planetary gear 42 and is used to constrain the rotation path of the first planetary gear 42 .

[0068] The first sun gear 41 and the second sun gear 45 are coaxially connected, the second planetary gear 46 is located on the outer periphery of the second sun gear 45 and meshes with the second sun gear 45, the second planetary gear 46 is mounted on the second planetary carrier 47, the second ring gear 48 surrounds the outer periphery of the second planetary gear 46 and is used to constrain the rotation path of the second planetary gear 46, and the second planetary carrier 47 is connected to the transmission gear set 6.

[0069] Among them, the first clutch 81 is connected to the first sun gear 41, the second clutch 82 is connected to the first planetary carrier 43, the first clutch 81 and the second clutch 82 are both transmission-connected to the engine 1, the third clutch 83 is connected to the first ring gear 44, and the fourth clutch 84 is connected to the second ring gear 48.

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, the third clutch 83 and the fourth clutch 84 are fixed to the case of the hybrid system.

[0071] In this embodiment, by engaging or disengaging the first clutch 81, the second clutch 82, the third clutch 83 and the fourth clutch 84, the power transmission path of the first planetary gear system 4 can be changed, thereby changing the transmission ratio of the first planetary gear system 4 and further changing the mode or gear of the hybrid power system.

[0072] When the first clutch 81 is engaged, the first clutch 81 rotates synchronously with the first sun gear 41, and the power of the engine 1 can be transmitted to the first sun gear 41; when the first clutch 81 is disengaged, the first clutch 81 and the first sun gear 41 can generate relative rotation, and the power of the engine 1 cannot be transmitted to the first sun gear 41 through the first clutch 81.

[0073] When the second clutch 82 is engaged, the second clutch 82 rotates synchronously with the first planet carrier 43, and the power of the engine 1 can be transmitted to the first planet carrier 43; when the second clutch 82 is disengaged, relative rotation can occur between the second clutch 82 and the first planet carrier 43, and the power of the engine 1 cannot be transmitted to the first planet carrier 43 through the second clutch 82.

[0074] When the third clutch 83 is engaged, the first ring gear 44 is fixed and cannot rotate relative to the housing of the hybrid power system; when the third clutch 83 is disengaged, the first ring gear 44 can rotate relative to the housing of the hybrid power system.

[0075] When the fourth clutch 84 is engaged, the second ring gear 48 is fixed and cannot rotate relative to the housing of the hybrid power system; when the fourth clutch 84 is disengaged, the second ring gear 48 can rotate relative to the housing of the hybrid power system.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first clutch 81 includes a housing 811, a first clutch disc 812, and a first pressure plate 813. The housing 811 is connected to the drive shaft of the engine 1. The first clutch disc 812 is annular and fixed to the inner side of the housing 811. The first pressure plate 813 is connected to the first sun gear 41. When the first clutch 81 is engaged, the first pressure plate 813 is connected to the first clutch disc 812.

[0077] The second clutch 82 includes a second clutch disc 821 and a second pressure plate 822. The second clutch disc 821 is annular and fixed to the inner side of the housing 811. The second pressure plate 822 is connected to the first planet carrier 43. When the second clutch 82 is engaged, the second pressure plate 822 is connected to the second clutch disc 821.

[0078] Specifically, when the first clutch 81 is engaged, the power of the engine 1 is sequentially transmitted to the first sun gear 41 through the housing 811, the first clutch disc 812, and the first pressure plate 813; when the second clutch 82 is engaged, the power of the engine 1 is sequentially transmitted to the first planet carrier 43 through the housing 811, the second clutch disc 821, and the second pressure plate 822.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first clutch 81 and the second clutch 82 form a dual clutch. The first clutch 81 and the second clutch 82 share the same housing 811, which is beneficial to reducing the space occupied by the first clutch 81 and the second clutch 82 while realizing the connection between the first clutch 81 / second clutch 82 and the engine 1.

[0080] In some embodiments, the hybrid power system further includes a first gear 9 and a second gear 10. The drive shaft of the engine 1 is coaxially connected to the first gear 9, the first gear 9 is connected to the housing 811, the drive shaft of the first motor 2 is coaxially connected to the second gear 10, and the first gear 9 and the second gear 10 are meshed with each other.

[0081] In this embodiment, through the meshing of the first gear 9 and the second gear 10, the power of the engine 1 can be transmitted to the first motor 2, enabling the first motor 2 to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, and then transmitting the electrical energy to the second motor 3 and / or the power battery pack to achieve functions such as in-vehicle charging.

[0082] In some embodiments, the second planetary gear train 5 includes a third sun gear 51, third planet gears 52, a third planet carrier 53, and a third ring gear 54.

[0083] The third planet gears 52 are located on the outer periphery of the third sun gear 51 and are meshed with the third sun gear 51. The third planet gears 52 are mounted on the third planet carrier 53. The third ring gear 54 surrounds the third planet gears 52 and is used to constrain the rotation path of the third planet gears 52.

[0084] Wherein, the second motor 3 is connected to the third sun gear 51, the third planet carrier 53 is connected to the transmission gear set 6, and the third ring gear 54 is fixed in the housing of the hybrid power system.

[0085] Exemplarily, the second motor 3 is connected to the third sun gear 51 through a hollow shaft, the third planet carrier 53 is connected to the transmission gear set 6 through an intermediate shaft. The hollow shaft is sleeved on the outer periphery of the intermediate shaft, and the hollow shaft and the central shaft can rotate relative to each other.

[0086] Exemplarily, the power transmission path among the second motor 3, the second planetary gear train 5, the transmission gear set 6, and the output shaft 7 is as follows: The second motor 3 drives the third sun gear 51 to rotate through the hollow shaft. Since the third ring gear 54 is stationary, the third planet gears 52 rotate along the tooth surface of the third ring gear 54 driven by the third sun gear 51, thereby driving the third planet carrier 53 to rotate. The third planet carrier 53 transmits the power to the transmission gear set 6 through the intermediate shaft, and the transmission gear set 6 further transmits the power to the output shaft 7, enabling the output shaft 7 to drive the wheel 100 to rotate.

[0087] In this embodiment, the third ring gear 54 is a fixed member, the third sun gear 51 is a driving member, the third planet carrier 53 is a driven member, and the third planet gear train 5 is a speed reduction transmission, that is, the rotational speed of the third planet carrier 53 is less than the rotational speed of the third sun gear 51. The third planet gear train 5 plays a role of reducing speed and increasing torque between the second motor 3 and the output shaft 7, enabling the second motor 3 to apply a greater driving force to the output shaft 7 and improving the power of the whole vehicle.

[0088] Based on any of the above embodiments, the transmission gear set 6 includes a third gear 61, a fourth gear 62, and a fifth gear 63. The third gear 61 is drivingly connected to the first planetary gear train 4 and meshes with the fourth gear 62. The fourth gear 62 and the fifth gear 63 are coaxially connected. The fifth gear 63 is respectively drivingly connected to the second planetary gear train 5 and the output shaft 7. Wherein, the diameter of the fourth gear 62 is larger than that of the third gear 61.

[0089] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 shown, the third gear 61 is connected to the second planet carrier 47. The power of the second planet carrier 47 can be sequentially transmitted to the third gear 61, the fourth gear 62, the fifth gear 63, and the output shaft 7.

[0090] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 shown, the fifth gear 63 is connected to the third planet carrier 53. The power of the second motor 3 can be sequentially transmitted to the third sun gear 51, the third planet gear 52, the third planet carrier 53, the fifth gear 63, and the output shaft 7.

[0091] Since the diameter of the fourth gear 62 is larger than that of the third gear 61, the number of teeth of the fourth gear 62 is greater than that of the third gear 61. Therefore, when the third gear 61 drives the fourth gear 62, the effect of decelerating and increasing torque is achieved, which helps the engine 1 to apply a greater torque and driving force to the output shaft 7 through the first planetary gear train 4 and the transmission gear set 6, improving the power of the whole vehicle.

[0092] In some embodiments, the hybrid power system includes a pure electric drive mode.

[0093] As Figure 2 shown, in the pure electric drive mode, the first clutch 81, the second clutch 82, the third clutch 83, and the fourth clutch 84 are all disengaged. The second motor 3 drives the output shaft 7 through the second planetary gear train 5 and the transmission gear set 6.

[0094] In the pure electric drive mode, the engine 1 and the first motor 2 do not work. The second motor 3 drives the output shaft 7 to drive the vehicle to travel. After the power battery pack converts direct current into three-phase alternating current through an inverter / transformer, it drives the second motor 3. The second motor 3 drives the output shaft 7 to rotate through the second planetary gear train 5 and the transmission gear set 6, and then drives the wheel 100 to rotate.

[0095] The pure electric drive mode is applicable to the vehicle starting stage, low-speed driving, and the working conditions where the vehicle battery is fully charged, which can avoid the energy loss caused by the frequent start and stop of the engine 1, thereby improving the fuel saving rate.

[0096] Among them, the pure electric drive mode can achieve reverse working conditions and energy recovery working conditions.

[0097] In the reverse driving condition, the second motor 3 rotates in the reverse direction, causing the second planetary gear set 5, the transmission gear set 6, and the output shaft 7 to drive the wheels 100 to rotate in the reverse direction, thereby achieving reverse driving. Since the vehicle speed is relatively slow and the reverse time is relatively short in the reverse driving condition, the engine 1 does not need to participate in driving, which can reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle.

[0098] In the energy recovery condition, the wheels 100 decelerate, and the wheels 100 drive the second motor 3 through the output shaft 7 and the transmission gear set 6, enabling the second motor 3 to convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electrical energy through negative torque and then charge the power battery pack.

[0099] In some embodiments, the hybrid power system includes a first hybrid mode.

[0100] As Figure 3 shown, in the first hybrid mode, the first clutch 81, the second clutch 82, the third clutch 83, and the fourth clutch 84 are all disengaged. The second motor 3 drives the output shaft 7 through the second planetary gear set 5 and the transmission gear set 6, and the engine 1 drives the first motor 2 to generate electricity to provide electrical energy for the second motor 3.

[0101] In the first hybrid mode, the hybrid power system constitutes a series drive mode. The engine 1 drives the first motor 2 to generate electricity. The engine 1 and the first motor 2 function as power generation, rather than driving the wheels 100. A part of the electrical energy generated by the first motor 2 is transmitted to the power battery pack for storage, and a part is converted from direct current to three-phase alternating current through an inverter / transformer and then transmitted to the second motor 3 to provide electrical energy for the second motor 3. The second motor 3 is mainly responsible for providing power to drive the wheels 100 to rotate.

[0102] The first hybrid mode is applicable to the conditions of low-speed vehicle driving, urban road driving, or insufficient battery endurance. The engine 1 can operate stably in the high-efficiency range for power generation, avoiding high fuel consumption and high emissions in the idle and low-speed conditions.

[0103] In some embodiments, the hybrid power system includes a second hybrid mode, and the second hybrid mode includes a first gear and a second gear.

[0104] As Figure 4 shown, in the first gear, the first clutch 81 and the fourth clutch 84 are both engaged, the second clutch 82 and the third clutch 83 are both disengaged. The engine 1 drives the output shaft 7 through the first planetary gear set 4 and the transmission gear set 6, and the second motor 3 drives the output shaft 7 through the second planetary gear set 5 and the transmission gear set 6.

[0105] As Figure 5As shown, in the second gear position, the second clutch 82, the third clutch 83, and the fourth clutch 84 are all engaged, and the first clutch 81 is disengaged. The engine 1 drives the output shaft 7 through the first planetary gear set 4 and the transmission gear set 6, and the second motor 3 drives the output shaft 7 through the second planetary gear set 5 and the transmission gear set 6.

[0106] In the second hybrid mode, the hybrid system forms a parallel drive mode. The engine 1 and the second motor 3 can work together to jointly drive the vehicle, thereby outputting a larger power and improving the dynamic performance of the whole vehicle.

[0107] The second hybrid mode is applicable to working conditions such as high-speed cruising, starting and accelerating, and complex road conditions. By power superposition, it provides a higher output power for the vehicle and improves the dynamic performance of the whole vehicle.

[0108] As Figure 4 shown, in the first gear position, the first clutch 81 is engaged, and the power of the engine 1 is transmitted to the first sun gear 41 through the first clutch 81. The first sun gear 41 and the second sun gear 45 connected coaxially rotate synchronously. Since the fourth clutch 84 is engaged and the second ring gear 48 is a fixed part, the second sun gear 45 transmits the power to the second planet gear 46 and the second planet carrier 47 in sequence. The second sun gear 45, the second planet gear 46, and the second planet carrier 47 play a role in reducing speed and increasing torque between the engine 1 and the transmission gear set 6. The second planet carrier 47 further transmits the power to the third gear 61, the fourth gear 62, and the fifth gear 63 in sequence. At the same time, the power of the second motor 3 is transmitted to the third sun gear 51, the third planet gear 52, the third planet carrier 53, and the fifth gear 63 in sequence. The power of the engine 1 and the second motor 3 is coupled at the fifth gear 63, and the coupled power is further transmitted to the output shaft 7 to drive the wheel 100 to rotate.

[0109] As Figure 5As shown, in the second gear position, the second clutch 82, the third clutch 83, and the fourth clutch 84 are all engaged. The first ring gear 44 is a fixed member, the first planet carrier 43 is the driving member, and the first sun gear 41 is the driven member. The power of the engine 1 is transmitted to the first planet carrier 43 through the second clutch 82. The first planet carrier 43 transmits the power to the first sun gear 41 through the first planet gear 42. The first planet carrier 43, the first planet gear 42, and the first sun gear 41 play a role in speed increasing transmission. The second ring gear 48 is a fixed member, the second sun gear 45 is the driving member, and the second planet carrier 47 is the driven member. The second sun gear 45 coaxially connected to the first sun gear 41 transmits the power to the second planet gear 46 and the second planet carrier 47 in sequence. The second planet carrier 47 further transmits the power to the third gear 61, the fourth gear 62, and the fifth gear 63 in sequence. At the same time, the power of the second motor 3 is transmitted to the third sun gear 51, the third planet gear 52, the third planet carrier 53, and the fifth gear 63 in sequence. The power of the engine 1 and the second motor 3 is coupled at the fifth gear 63, and the coupled power is further transmitted to the output shaft 7 to drive the wheel 100 to rotate.

[0110] When the engine 1 outputs the same rotational speed, compared with the first gear position, the first planetary gear train 4 in the second gear position can output a greater rotational speed to the transmission gear set 6, providing higher output power for the vehicle.

[0111] Since the power transmission routes of the first gear position and the second gear position are different, the transmission ratios of the first gear position and the second gear position are different, so they are applicable to different working conditions of the vehicle.

[0112] This application also provides a vehicle, which includes the hybrid power system provided in any of the above embodiments.

[0113] Vehicles include, but are not limited to, sedans, buses, trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), etc.
