[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 、 2 and 3, the embodiment of the application provides a coaxial electric drive axle reducer transmission device of integrated power take-off, which is applied to a new energy special vehicle and mainly comprises a transmission assembly, a power take-off assembly and an oil pump 14.

[0026] The transmission assembly comprises a first gear shaft 2, a first input gear 7, a first output gear 8, a second gear shaft 10, a second input gear 11, a second output gear 12 and a differential 13, wherein the first gear shaft 2 and the second gear shaft 10 are arranged in parallel, and here the first gear shaft 2 is located above the second gear shaft 10.

[0027] One end of the first gear shaft 2 is used for connecting a motor 1, the first input gear 7 is fixedly installed on the first gear shaft 2, and the motor 1 drives the first gear shaft 2 to rotate, so that the first input gear 7 can be driven to rotate.

[0028] The first output gear 8 is rotatably installed on the second gear shaft 10 and is in meshing engagement with the first input gear 7. Here, the first output gear 8 is rotatably installed on the second gear shaft 10 through a bearing, so that the first output gear 8 can independently rotate relative to the second gear shaft 10. The second gear shaft 10 is also provided with a second gear shifting engagement sleeve 9, and here the second gear shifting engagement sleeve 9 is installed on the second gear shaft 10 through a spline. The second gear shifting engagement sleeve 9 is selectively connected with the first output gear 8, the second gear shifting engagement sleeve 9 can move axially (to the right) along the second gear shaft 10, is connected with the first output gear 8, so as to fix the first output gear 8 with the second gear shaft 10, so that the rotation of the first output gear 8 can drive the second gear shaft 10 to rotate.

[0029] The second input gear 11 is fixedly installed on the second gear shaft 10, and the second output gear 12 is installed on the input end of the differential 13 and is in meshing engagement with the second input gear 11. The rotation of the second gear shaft 10 drives the second input gear 11 to rotate, the second input gear 11 is in meshing transmission with the second output gear 12, and drives the differential 13 to work.

[0030] The power take-off assembly comprises a power take-off output shaft 6, a power take-off input gear 4, a power take-off input gear 4 and a first shift engagement sleeve 3, the power take-off output shaft 6 is arranged in parallel with the first output shaft, and here the power take-off output shaft 6 is arranged above the first output shaft. The power take-off input gear 4 is rotatably mounted on the first output shaft. Here the power take-off input gear 4 is rotatably mounted on the first gear shaft 2 through a bearing, so that the power take-off input gear 4 can rotate independently relative to the first output shaft. The first shift engagement sleeve 3 is mounted on the first output shaft and selectively connects the power take-off input gear 4, and here the first shift engagement sleeve 3 is mounted on the first gear shaft 2 through a spline. The first shift engagement sleeve 3 can be moved axially (to the left) along the first gear shaft 2, connected with the power take-off input gear 4, so as to fix the power take-off input gear 4 with the first gear shaft 2, so that the rotation of the first gear shaft 2 can drive the power take-off input gear 4 to rotate. The power take-off output gear 5 is fixedly mounted on the power take-off output shaft 6 and is in meshing connection with the power take-off input gear 4, and the power take-off output shaft 6 is connected with the oil pump 14. The power take-off output shaft 6 can be connected with the oil pump 14 through a spline.

[0031] When the first shift engagement sleeve 3 is connected with the power take-off input gear 4, the rotation of the first gear shaft 2 can drive the power take-off input gear 4 to rotate, the power take-off output gear 5 is in meshing transmission with the power take-off input gear 4, drives the power take-off output shaft 6 to rotate, thereby driving the oil pump 14 to work.

[0032] In some embodiments, the coaxial electric drive axle reducer transmission device of the application integrates a power take-off, which is applied to a new energy special vehicle, and further comprises a motor 1 connected to one end of the first gear shaft 2. The motor 1 and the first gear shaft 2 can be connected through a spline.

[0033] The motor 1 drives the first gear shaft 2 to rotate, inputs torque, the two half shafts of the differential 13 are connected with the wheel hub, outputs torque, and drives the wheel hub to rotate.

[0034] In order to make the coaxial electric drive axle reducer transmission device of the application integrate a power take-off, the first shift engagement sleeve 3, the power take-off input gear 4 and the first input gear 7 are arranged in sequence on the first gear shaft 2 in a direction away from the motor 1. The second input gear 11, the first output gear 8 and the second shift engagement sleeve 9 are arranged in sequence on the second gear shaft 10 in a direction away from the motor 1. In this way, the integration degree is higher, and the overall volume is reduced.

[0035] Generally, the coaxial electric drive axle reducer transmission device with an integrated power take-off (PTO) of the present invention also includes a lower housing 16 and an upper housing 15. The lower housing 16 has an open top, and the upper housing 15 is removably connected to the upper end of the lower housing 16. The transmission assembly, the PTO input gear 4, and the first shift engagement sleeve 3 are disposed within the lower housing 16, while the PTO output shaft 6 and PTO output gear 5 are disposed within the upper housing 15. The PTO input gear 4 is disposed at the upper end of the lower housing 16 and meshes with the PTO output gear 5. The oil pump 14 is disposed outside the upper housing 15, and the motor 1 is disposed outside the lower housing 16. Both ends of the first gear shaft 2 and the second gear shaft 10 are rotatably mounted within the lower housing 16 via bearings. Both ends of the PTO output shaft 6 are rotatably mounted within the upper housing 15 via bearings. In this way, when facing different torque requirements, the upper shell 15 can be disassembled and opened, and the power take-off output gear 5 can be replaced to select different speed ratios. An adjustable speed ratio power take-off is used to meet the required torque, thereby maximizing the versatility of the product and achieving the best performance requirements.

[0036] An embodiment of the present invention provides a coaxial electric drive axle reducer transmission device with an integrated power take-off, which is applied to new energy special vehicles and generally has three working states, as follows: 1. Power take-off working in parking state like Figure 4 As shown, the first shift sleeve 3 is controlled to be connected to the power take-off input gear 4, and the second shift sleeve 9 is not connected to the first output gear 8. The motor 1 drives the first gear shaft 2 to rotate. Under the action of the first shift sleeve 3, the first gear shaft 2 drives the power take-off input gear 4 to rotate. The power take-off output gear 5 is meshed with the power take-off input gear 4 for transmission, driving the power take-off output shaft 6 to rotate, thereby driving the oil pump 14 to work and realize power take-off in the parking state.

[0037] 2. The power take-off does not work while the vehicle is driving like Figure 5As shown, the first shift sleeve 3 is disconnected from the power take-off input gear 4, while the second shift sleeve 9 is connected to the first output gear 8. The motor 1 drives the first gear shaft 2 to rotate, driving the first input gear 7. The first output gear 8 and the first input gear 7 mesh with each other. Under the action of the second shift sleeve 9, the first output gear 8 drives the second gear shaft 10 to rotate. The second gear shaft 10 drives the second input gear 11 to rotate. The second output gear 12 and the second input gear 11 mesh with each other, thereby driving the differential 13. The two half-shafts of the differential 13 drive the wheel hubs to rotate, causing the vehicle to move. The power take-off input gear 4 is relatively separated from the first gear shaft 2 and does not rotate, so no power is taken.

[0038] 3. Power take-off operation while the vehicle is moving like Figure 6 As shown, the first shift sleeve 3 is controlled to connect with the power take-off input gear 4, and the second shift sleeve 9 is connected with the first output gear 8. The motor 1 drives the first gear shaft 2 to rotate, driving the first input gear 7. The first output gear 8 and the first input gear 7 mesh with each other. Under the action of the second shift sleeve 9, the first output gear 8 drives the second gear shaft 10 to rotate. The second gear shaft 10 drives the second input gear 11 to rotate. The second output gear 12 and the second input gear 11 mesh with each other, thereby driving the differential 13. The two half-shafts of the differential 13 drive the wheel hubs to rotate, causing the vehicle to move. At the same time, under the action of the first shift sleeve 3, the first gear shaft 2 drives the power take-off input gear 4 to rotate. The power take-off output gear 5 meshes with the power take-off input gear 4, driving the power take-off output shaft 6 to rotate, thereby driving the oil pump 14 to operate, achieving power take-off while the vehicle is moving.

[0039] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the present invention's coaxial electric drive axle reducer transmission device with integrated power take-off integrates the power take-off input gear 4 and first shift engagement sleeve 3 of the power take-off assembly into the transmission assembly, achieving a higher level of integration and significantly reducing the size of the power take-off, thereby reducing weight and the height of the power take-off overhang. Furthermore, by combining the majority of the traditional power take-off's structure with the reducer's, the structure is compact, resulting in a 15% reduction in weight, a 20% reduction in volume, and a 20% reduction in cost compared to comparable electric drive axles. This eliminates the space occupied by traditional power take-offs, facilitating vehicle chassis layout; the vehicle's unsprung mass is reduced, resulting in improved vehicle ride comfort, a lower curb weight, improved vehicle passability, and increased vehicle range.

It should be understood that they are relative concepts, which can be changed accordingly according to different ways of use and placement, and the use of the orientation words should not limit the scope of the application.
