In this hybrid drive architecture, the drive motor can be driven purely by electricity, it can also be driven by direct drive of the engine, and it can also be driven by the engine and the drive motor in parallel.

This causes the engine and the drive motor to be unable to work in the high-efficiency zone, but will work in the medium-efficiency zone or the low-efficiency zone for part of the time, which will lead to increased fuel consumption and increased power loss, affecting the cruising range.

[0038] The fourth driving gear 13 is connected to the second input shaft 4, the fourth driven gear 14 is loosely sleeved on the main transmission shaft 5, and the fourth driving gear 13 is meshed with the fourth driven gear 14;
[0039] The first engaging member 15 is disposed on the main transmission shaft 5, and the first engaging member 15 is used to switch to be combined with the first driven gear 8 so that the main transmission shaft 5 and the first driven gear 8 rotate synchronously, and the first engaging member 15 is also used to switch to be combined with the second driven gear 10 so that the main transmission shaft 5 and the second driven gear 10 rotate synchronously, and the first engaging member 15 is also used to switch to neutral gear;
[0040] The second coupling component 16 is arranged on the main transmission shaft 5, and the second coupling component 16 is used to switch to combine with the third driven gear 12 so that the main transmission shaft 5 and the third driven gear 12 rotate synchronously. The second coupling component 16 is also used to switch to combine with the fourth driven gear 14 so that the main transmission shaft 5 and the fourth driven gear 14 rotate synchronously. The second coupling component 16 is also used to switch to neutral.
[0041] Specifically, when the first engaging component 15 is switched to be combined with the first driven gear 8, the power of the driving motor 1 is sequentially output through the first input shaft 3, the first driving gear 7, the first driven gear 8, the first engaging component 15, the main transmission shaft 5, the transmission mechanism and the output shaft 6. When the first engaging component 15 is switched to be combined with the second driven gear 10, the power of the driving motor 1 is sequentially output through the first input shaft 3, the second driving gear 9, the second driven gear 10, the first engaging component 15, the main transmission shaft 5, the transmission mechanism and the output shaft 6. When the second engaging component 16 is switched to be combined with the third driven gear 12, the power of the engine 2 is sequentially output through the second input shaft 4, the third driving gear 11, the third driven gear 12, the second engaging component 16, the main transmission shaft 5, the transmission mechanism and the output shaft 6.

Therefore, by switching the engagement state of the first engagement component 15, the power transmission of the drive motor 1 has two gears that can be adjusted, and by switching the engagement state of the second engagement component 16, the power transmission of the engine 2 has two gears that can be adjusted. Therefore, the transmission gears of the drive motor 1 and the engine 2 can be adjusted according to the vehicle speed, so that the engine 2 and the drive motor 1 always work in the high-efficiency zone, thereby saving electric energy, saving fuel consumption, improving transmission efficiency, and extending the cruising range. In addition, it can also improve the power of the vehicle when starting, accelerating, accelerating suddenly, and climbing, and the structure is simple and compact, with small space size, light weight, low cost, and simple control logic.
[0042] In this embodiment, when the first combination component is switched to be combined with the first driven gear 8 and the second coupling component 16 is switched to neutral, it is a pure electric first gear mode, and when the first combination component is switched to be combined with the second driven gear 10 and the second coupling component 16 is switched to neutral, it is a pure electric second gear mode. When the first combination component is switched to neutral and the second coupling component 16 is switched to be combined with the third driven gear 12, it is a direct drive third gear mode, and when the first combination component is switched to neutral and the second coupling component 16 is switched to be combined with the fourth driven gear 14, it is a direct drive fourth gear mode. When the first combination component is switched to be combined with the first driven gear 8 and the second coupling component 16 is switched to be combined with the third driven gear 12, it is a low-speed parallel mode, and when the first combination component is switched to be combined with the second driven gear 10 and the second coupling component 16 is switched to be combined with the fourth driven gear 14, it is a high-speed parallel mode. Therefore, when the drive motor 1 drives the vehicle alone, it has a pure electric first gear mode and a pure electric second gear mode that can be adjusted; when the engine 2 drives the vehicle alone, it has a direct drive third gear mode and a direct drive fourth gear mode that can be adjusted; when the drive motor 1 and the engine 2 drive the vehicle together, it has a low-speed parallel mode and a high-speed parallel mode that can be adjusted. Therefore, according to the change of vehicle speed, it is possible to realize switching between the pure electric first gear mode, the low-speed parallel mode, the pure electric second gear mode, the high-speed parallel mode, the direct drive third gear mode and the direct drive fourth gear mode.
[0043] In this embodiment, the first engaging component 15 may be a synchronizer, and the second engaging component 16 may be a synchronizer. Of course, in some embodiments, the first engaging component 15 and the second engaging component 16 may also be clutches.

[0046] The secondary transmission shaft 20 is rotatably arranged and transmission-connected to the second input shaft 4;
[0047] The generator 19 is connected to the secondary transmission shaft 20 .
[0048] In this embodiment, the auxiliary transmission shaft 20 is connected to a seventh gear 21, and the seventh gear 21 is engaged with the fourth driving gear 13, thereby connecting the auxiliary transmission shaft 20 to the second input shaft 4 in a transmission manner; specifically, when the engine 2 drives the second input shaft 4 to rotate, it can drive the auxiliary transmission shaft 20 to rotate, and thereby drive the generator 19 to work.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the drive motor 1 and the first input shaft 3, the engine 2 and the second input shaft 4, and the generator 19 and the auxiliary transmission shaft 20 can be connected respectively through a spline 22; in this embodiment, the engine 2 is also connected to the second input shaft 4 through a one-way clutch 23.
[0050] In this embodiment, the speed ratio of the first driving gear 7 to the first driven gear 8 is greater than the speed ratio of the second driving gear 9 to the second driven gear 10, and the speed ratio of the third driving gear 11 to the third driven gear 12 is greater than the speed ratio of the fourth driving gear 13 to the fourth driven gear 14.
[0051] In summary, when the first coupling component 15 is switched to be combined with the first driven gear 8, the power of the driving motor 1 is sequentially output through the first input shaft 3, the first driving gear 7, the first driven gear 8, the first coupling component 15, the main transmission shaft 5, the transmission mechanism and the output shaft 6. When the first coupling component 15 is switched to be combined with the second driven gear 10, the power of the driving motor 1 is sequentially output through the first input shaft 3, the second driving gear 9, the second driven gear 10, the first coupling component 15, the main transmission shaft 5, the transmission mechanism and the output shaft 6. When the second coupling component 16 is switched to be combined with the third driven gear 12, the power of the engine 2 is sequentially output through the second input shaft 4, the third driving gear 11, the third driven gear 12, the second coupling component 16, the main transmission shaft 5, the transmission mechanism and the output shaft 6. When the second engagement component 16 is switched to be combined with the fourth driven gear 14, the power of the engine 2 is output outwardly through the second input shaft 4, the fourth driving gear 13, the fourth driven gear 14, the second engagement component 16, the main transmission shaft 5, the transmission mechanism and the output shaft 6 in sequence. Therefore, by switching the engagement state of the first engagement component 15, the power transmission of the drive motor 1 has two gears that can be adjusted, and by switching the engagement state of the second engagement component 16, the power transmission of the engine 2 has two gears that can be adjusted. Therefore, the transmission gears of the drive motor 1 and the engine 2 can be adjusted according to the vehicle speed, so that the engine 2 and the drive motor 1 always work in the high-efficiency zone, thereby saving electric energy, saving fuel consumption, improving transmission efficiency, and extending the cruising range. In addition, it can also improve the power of the vehicle when starting, accelerating, accelerating suddenly, and climbing, and the structure is simple and compact, with small space size, light weight, low cost, and simple control logic.
