Description

[0002] As electric vehicles continue to demand high-efficiency, multi-scenario power output, traditional single-speed electric drive systems, due to their fixed transmission ratios, struggle to balance low-speed torque with high-speed energy efficiency. To enhance power flexibility, pure electric transmissions have developed a drive technology that uses multiple motors in coordinated, multi-speed shifting. Multi-speed shifting technology has become a key approach to improving the overall performance of electric drive systems. Existing electric drive transmissions often utilize planetary gears and parallel shaft structures. The planetary gear increases speed ratios and output torque, while the parallel shaft structure creates a shifting transmission. However, the parallel shaft structure suffers from shift shock, power interruption, insufficient gear scalability, and low gear shift efficiency. Furthermore, the multiple gear pull configuration in the parallel shaft structure creates structural redundancy, increases the axial space of the transmission, and is detrimental to vehicle layout.

[0019] The following combination Figures 1 to 5 The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail.

[0020] A four-motor four-speed compound transmission integrated system includes a coupling assembly 1 for coupling the power of two motors, an intermediate shaft 2, a speed change mechanism 3 with a four-speed shifting function, and an output shaft 4. The number of coupling assemblies 1 is two groups, and the two groups of coupling assemblies 1 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the intermediate shaft 2 and respectively mesh with the intermediate shaft 2. It is characterized in that the speed change mechanism 3 includes a first planetary row 5 and a second planetary row 6 coaxially arranged behind the first planetary row 5. The intermediate shaft 2 is coaxially connected to the sun gear of the first planetary row 5. The output shaft 4 is assembled on the ring gear of the second planetary row 6. The ring gear of the first planetary row 5 is fixedly connected to the sun gear of the second planetary row 6. A clutch assembly 7 is installed in the ring gear of the second planetary row 6. The planet carrier of the first planetary row 5 is connected to the planet carrier or ring gear of the second planetary row 6 as the clutch assembly 7 moves. A first brake 8 is installed on the ring gear of the first planetary row 5, and a second brake 9 is installed on the planet carrier of the second planetary row 6.

[0021] In the aforementioned four-motor, four-speed compound transmission integrated system, coupling assembly 1 couples the power of two motors. The power of the two coupling assemblies 1 is coupled to the intermediate shaft 4, achieving power confluence of the four motors and improving power density. The intermediate shaft 4 transmits the confluence power to the transmission mechanism 3. The transmission mechanism 3 utilizes the large speed ratio of the planetary gear set to effectively increase torque. By controlling the first brake, the second brake, and the clutch assembly, multi-gear power output is achieved, forming an effective match from low-speed, high-torque to high-speed, low-energy consumption, thereby increasing the speed bandwidth. The clutch assembly 7 and brake are provided in the planetary gear set to achieve gear shifting, which not only avoids the increase in the axial size of the system due to the gear setting, but also avoids the shock of parallel shaft gear shifting, thereby improving smooth and efficient gear shifting. The combination of the parallel shaft coupling assembly and the dual planetary gear gear transmission mechanism not only improves the coupling efficiency between the motor and the gear transmission mechanism, but also improves the structural compactness, reduces the axial size of the system, and facilitates the overall vehicle layout. In the event of a single motor failure, the system's power output can still be maintained through the remaining motors and the adapted gear, significantly enhancing the system's robustness.

[0022] The coupling assembly 1 comprises two motors 11, input shafts 12 connected to the shaft ends of each motor, and constant meshing shafts 13 meshing with the input shafts 12. The constant meshing shafts 13 mesh with the intermediate shaft 2.

The third gear power is suitable for Light load climbing or muddy working conditions; when the first brake 8 is activated and the clutch assembly 7 moves to connect the first planetary carrier 52 with the second planetary carrier 62, the power of the two sets of coupling assemblies 1 is transmitted to the intermediate shaft 2, and the intermediate shaft 2 drives the first sun gear 51 to rotate. The power of the first sun gear 51 is transmitted to the output shaft 4 through the first planetary carrier 52, the second planetary carrier 62, and the second ring gear 63, forming a fourth-gear power output. The torque of the fourth-gear power is lower than that of the third-gear power, and the speed is higher than that of the third-gear power.

The first clutch 71 slides rightward on the second planetary carrier 62 to engage with the coupling gear 54. The second clutch 72 is a sliding gear sleeve mounted on the support gear 64 and slidable in the axial direction.
