Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an integrated system of a four-motor, four-speed composite transmission and its transmission control method, belonging to the field of pure electric transmission technology. Background Technology

[0002] As electric vehicles increasingly demand high-efficiency and multi-scenario power output, traditional single-speed electric drive systems, with their fixed transmission ratios, struggle to balance low-speed torque and high-speed efficiency. To improve power flexibility, pure electric transmissions have developed multi-motor, multi-gear transmission technology, making multi-gear transmission a key direction for enhancing the overall performance of electric drive systems. Existing electric drive transmissions mostly employ planetary gear sets and parallel shaft structures. Planetary gear sets increase the speed ratio and output torque, while parallel shaft structures provide shifting transmission. However, parallel shaft structures suffer from shift shock, power interruption, insufficient gear expandability, and low gear switching efficiency. Furthermore, the multi-gear configuration in parallel shaft structures creates structural redundancy, increasing the axial space of the transmission and hindering overall vehicle layout.

[0003] In addition, while multi-motor coordinated multi-speed drive technology can improve power flexibility, the coupling efficiency between the motor and the transmission mechanism is low. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The four-motor, four-speed composite transmission integrated system provided by this invention achieves an effective match from low-speed, high-torque to high-speed, low-energy consumption, increasing speed bandwidth, improving shift smoothness and efficiency. It not only enhances the coupling efficiency between the motor and the transmission mechanism but also improves structural compactness, reduces the system's axial dimensions, facilitates vehicle layout, and significantly enhances system robustness. This invention also provides a transmission control method for the four-motor, four-speed composite transmission integrated system.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: The four-motor four-speed composite transmission system includes a coupling assembly for coupling the power of two motors, an intermediate shaft, a transmission mechanism with four-speed function, and an output shaft. The coupling assembly consists of two sets, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the intermediate shaft and respectively meshing with it. The transmission mechanism includes a first planetary gear set and a second planetary gear set coaxially arranged behind the first planetary gear set. The intermediate shaft is coaxially connected to the sun gear of the first planetary gear set. The output shaft is mounted on the ring gear of the second planetary gear set. The ring gear of the first planetary gear set is fixedly connected to the sun gear of the second planetary gear set. A clutch assembly is installed inside the ring gear of the second planetary gear set. The planet carrier of the first planetary gear set connects to the planet carrier or ring gear of the second planetary gear set as the clutch assembly moves. A first brake is mounted on the ring gear of the first planetary gear set, and a second brake is mounted on the planet carrier of the second planetary gear set.

[0007] Preferably, the first planetary gear set includes a first sun gear coaxially connected to the intermediate shaft, a first planet gear meshing with the first sun gear, a first planet carrier mounted on the first planet gear, and a first gear ring with an inner ring meshing with the first planet gear. The second planetary gear set includes a second sun gear, a second planet gear meshing with the second sun gear, a second planet carrier mounted on the second planet gear, and a second gear ring with an inner ring meshing with the second planet gear. The output shaft is mounted on the second gear ring. The first gear ring is fixedly connected to the second sun gear. The first planet carrier is connected to the second planet carrier or the second gear ring as the clutch assembly moves. A first brake is mounted on the first gear ring, and a second brake is mounted on the second planet carrier.

[0008] Preferably, the output end of the first planetary carrier is fixed to the engagement gear, and the clutch assembly includes a first clutch that can connect the engagement gear to the second planetary carrier and a second clutch that can connect the engagement gear to the second gear ring.

[0009] Preferably, the first gear ring and the first sun gear are integrally formed, the output end of the first planetary carrier passes through the first gear ring and the second sun gear and extends into the second gear ring, a support gear corresponding to the engaging gear is fixed on the second gear ring, the first clutch is installed between the second planetary carrier and the engaging gear, and the second clutch is installed between the engaging gear and the support gear.

[0010] Preferably, the first clutch is a sliding gear sleeve that can slide axially on the second planetary carrier and engages with the engagement gear by sliding to the right on the second planetary carrier. The second clutch is a sliding gear sleeve that can slide axially on the support gear and engages with the engagement gear by sliding to the left on the support gear.

[0011] The speed control method of the four-motor four-speed composite transmission integrated system described above The four-speed power of the four-motor four-speed composite transmission system is formed by controlling the clutch assembly, the first brake, and the second brake. The characteristic feature is that the control method from first gear to fourth gear is as follows: When the first brake is engaged, the clutch assembly moves to connect the planet carrier of the first planetary gear set with the ring gear of the second planetary gear set, forming the first gear. When the second brake is engaged, the clutch assembly moves to connect the planet carrier of the first planetary gear set with the planet carrier of the second planetary gear set, forming second gear power; When the first brake is engaged, the clutch assembly moves to connect the planet carrier of the first planetary gear set with the ring gear of the second planetary gear set, forming a three-speed power. When the first brake is engaged, the clutch assembly moves to connect the planet carrier of the first planetary gear set with the planet carrier of the second planetary gear set, forming a fourth gear.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: The four-motor four-speed composite transmission gearbox integrated system of the present invention has a coupling component that couples the power of two motors, and the power of the two sets of coupling components is coupled to the intermediate shaft to realize the power of the four motors to combine and improve the power density. The intermediate shaft transmits the combined power to the transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism utilizes the large speed ratio of the planetary gear set to effectively improve the torque, and achieves multi-gear power output by controlling the first brake, the second brake and the clutch assembly, forming an effective match from low speed and high torque to high speed and low energy consumption, and improving the speed range bandwidth. By incorporating a clutch assembly and brake in the planetary gear set to achieve gear shifting, the system's axial dimension is avoided from being increased by gear settings, and the impact of parallel shaft shifting is also avoided, thus improving shifting smoothness and efficiency. The combination of the parallel shaft structure coupling assembly and the dual planetary gear set transmission mechanism not only improves the coupling efficiency between the motor and the transmission mechanism, but also enhances structural compactness, reduces the system's axial dimension, and is beneficial for overall vehicle layout. In the event of a single motor failure, the system's power output can still be maintained by the remaining motor and the appropriate gear, significantly enhancing the system's robustness.

[0019] The following is combined Figures 1-5 The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0020] The four-motor four-speed composite transmission integrated system includes a coupling component 1 for coupling the power of two motors, an intermediate shaft 2, a transmission mechanism 3 with four-speed function, and an output shaft 4. The coupling component 1 consists of two sets, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the intermediate shaft 2 and respectively mesh with the intermediate shaft 2. The transmission mechanism 3 includes a first planetary gear set 5 and a second planetary gear set 6 coaxially arranged behind the first planetary gear set 5. The intermediate shaft 2 is coaxially connected to the sun gear of the first planetary gear set 5. The output shaft 4 is mounted on the ring gear of the second planetary gear set 6. The ring gear of the first planetary gear set 5 is fixedly connected to the sun gear of the second planetary gear set 6. The ring gear of the second planetary gear set 6 contains a clutch assembly 7. The planet carrier of the first planetary gear set 5 is connected to the planet carrier or ring gear of the second planetary gear set 6 as the clutch assembly 7 moves. The ring gear of the first planetary gear set 5 is equipped with a first brake 8, and the planet carrier of the second planetary gear set 6 is equipped with a second brake 9.

[0021] The four-motor, four-speed composite transmission system described above integrates two motors via coupling component 1. The power from the two sets of coupling components 1 is coupled to the intermediate shaft 4, achieving power convergence of the four motors and increasing power density. The intermediate shaft 4 transmits the converged 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, it achieves multi-gear power output, forming an effective match from low-speed high torque to high-speed low energy consumption, thus increasing the speed range bandwidth. The clutch assembly 7 and brake are set in the planetary gear set to achieve gear shifting, which avoids increasing the axial dimension of the system due to gear settings and avoids the impact of parallel shaft shifting, improving shifting smoothness and efficiency. The combination of the parallel shaft structure coupling component and the double planetary gear set transmission mechanism not only improves the coupling efficiency between the motor and the transmission mechanism but also improves structural compactness, reduces the axial dimension of the system, and is beneficial for vehicle layout. In the event of a single motor failure, the system's power output can still be maintained by the remaining motor and the appropriate gear, significantly enhancing the system's robustness.

When the first brake 8 is activated, the first ring gear 53 is fixed; when the second brake is activated, the second planetary carrier 52 is fixed. When the first brake 8 is activated and the clutch assembly 7 moves to connect the first planetary carrier 52 with the second ring gear 63, the power of the two sets of coupling assemblies 1 is transmitted to the intermediate shaft 2. The intermediate shaft 2 drives the first sun gear 51 to rotate.

The power of the first sun gear 51 passes through the first ring gear 53, the second sun gear 61, and the second ring gear 63 to the output shaft 4, forming second-gear power output. The torque of second-gear power is lower than that of first-gear power, but the speed is higher. Second-gear power is suitable for heavy-load, flat-road conditions. When the first brake 8 is activated, the clutch assembly 7 connects the first planetary carrier 52 and the second ring gear 63. The power of the two sets of coupling assemblies 1 is transmitted to the intermediate shaft 2. The intermediate shaft 2 drives the first sun gear 51 to rotate.
