[0021] The specific implementation of the utility model will be further explained in detail below through the description of embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figure 1As shown, the symmetrical dual-motor electric drive system includes a reducer housing, a first motor 1, a second motor 8, a first output shaft 7, a second output shaft 14, a first planetary gear train, a first gear 5, a second planetary gear train and a second gear 12.

[0024] The first planetary gear train and the second planetary gear train are arranged obliquely symmetrically from the center. The rotor of the first motor is connected to the sun gear of the first planetary gear train, the inner gear ring of the first planetary gear train is fixed on the reducer housing, and the first gear is connected to the planet carrier of the first planetary gear train through a spline; the rotor of the second motor is connected to the sun gear of the second planetary gear train, the inner gear ring of the second planetary gear train is fixed on the reducer housing, and the second gear is connected to the planet carrier of the second planetary gear train through a spline.
[0025] The first motor and the second motor are arranged in parallel and obliquely symmetrically. The first output shaft end gear and the second output shaft end gear have the same size specifications. The power output route of the dual motors is independent, and no differential related structure is required; the drive system has a high degree of structural integration, a compact structure, is easy to arrange, has a small unsprung mass, and is suitable for four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive models.
[0026] Preferred specific embodiments are:
[0027] The sun gear 2 of the first planetary gear system is connected to the rotor of the first motor 1, the inner gear ring 3 of the first planetary gear system is fixed on the reducer housing, the first gear is connected to the first planetary carrier with the planetary gear assembly 4 through a spline, the first gear 5 is meshed with the first output shaft end gear 6 for transmission, and the first output shaft end gear is splined with the first output shaft 7. The sun gear 9 of the second planetary gear system is connected to the rotor of the second motor 8, the inner gear ring 10 of the second planetary gear system is fixed on the reducer housing, the second gear 12 is connected to the second planetary carrier with the planetary gear assembly 11 through a spline, the second gear 12 is meshed with the second output shaft end gear 13 for transmission, and the second output shaft end gear is splined with the second output shaft 14.

When the vehicle is traveling in a straight line, the speeds of the first motor and the second motor are exactly the same.
