Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobiles, and in particular relates to an extended-range vehicle with improved working noise. Background Art

[0002] Range-extended vehicles are powered by power batteries and driven by electric motors. As an auxiliary power source, the range extender does not participate in driving and only starts to charge the power battery when the power battery is low. Range-extended vehicles are becoming more and more popular in the market because they offer a driving experience comparable to that of pure electric vehicles and can alleviate the range anxiety of pure electric vehicles to a certain extent.

[0003] At present, the range extender of the extended-range vehicle is generally arranged in the engine room on the front side of the vehicle body, and the engine room is close to the cab, which causes the range extender to transmit greater vibration and noise to the cab when starting. In addition, in order to ensure fuel consumption, the starting speed of the range extender is higher than that of the fuel vehicle engine, and the starting noise is greater. The large noise generated by the range extender of the extended-range vehicle when starting seriously affects the NVH performance of the extended-range vehicle and is criticized by many consumers. Therefore, how to improve the NVH performance of the extended-range electric vehicle has become a major issue in the development of the extended-range electric vehicle industry.
