[0078] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6The utility model provides an extended-range powertrain 1, comprising an engine 10, a first motor 20, a second motor 30 and a third motor 40. The engine 10 is longitudinally arranged. The first motor 20 is arranged on a first side of the engine 10, and the first motor 20 is connected to the engine 10. The second motor 30 is arranged on a second side of the engine 10, and the second motor 30 is connected to the engine 10. The third motor 40 is arranged on a third side of the engine 10, and the third motor 40 is connected to the engine 10. The longitudinal arrangement of the engine 10 can effectively utilize the longitudinal space of the vehicle body and make the front layout more compact. The first side, the second side and the third side are different sides of the circumference of the engine 10. The first motor 20, the second motor 30 and the third motor 40 are respectively arranged on different sides of the circumference of the engine 10, which makes full use of the space around the engine 10 and reduces the occupation of the internal space of the vehicle body. The layout of the extended-range powertrain 1 makes the weight distribution of the front and rear axles of the vehicle more balanced, which helps to improve the handling performance and stability of the vehicle.
[0079] Optionally, the first motor 20 , the second motor 30 and the third motor 40 are all connected to the housing of the engine 10 .
[0080] Optionally, the first side is the left side. The second side is the right side. The third side is the front side or the rear side. In this solution, the left side refers to the left side of the vehicle. The right side refers to the right side of the vehicle. The front side refers to the front side of the vehicle. The rear side refers to the rear side of the vehicle. Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the third motor 40 is located at the rear side of the engine 10. Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the third electric machine 40 is located on the front side of the engine 10 .
[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, the speed ratio of the gear set connected to the first motor 20 is different from the speed ratio of the gear set connected to the second motor 30 .
[0082] In some further embodiments of the present invention, the speed ratio of the gear set connected to the first motor 20 is the same as the speed ratio of the gear set connected to the second motor 30, and the speed ratio of at least one corresponding level of the gear set connected to the first motor 20 and the gear set connected to the second motor 30 is different.
[0083] Through the above-mentioned embodiment, the noise frequencies generated by the gears of the left electric drive gear set and the gears of the right electric drive gear set are greatly different, and the noise waveform frequency is high after superposition. Therefore, by adjusting the gear ratio, the noise peak at a specific frequency can be reduced or the overall noise spectrum distribution can be improved, which can effectively solve the abnormal shaking or humming problem of the existing centralized dual-motor wheel-side independent drive system, improve the driving experience, and improve the comfort of the whole vehicle.

The output end of the left electric drive gear set 21 is drivingly connected to the left wheel. The left electric drive gear set 21 is directly connected to the motor shaft of the first motor 20 and the left wheel, which reduces the intermediate transmission link, improves the power transmission efficiency, and reduces the energy loss.
[0086] Optionally, the rotation axis of the input end of the left electric drive gear set 21 is parallel to the rotation axis of the output end of the left electric drive gear set 21. Optionally, the gears of the left electric drive gear set 21 are parallel to the motor shaft of the first motor 20. By setting in parallel, the structure of the gear set is simplified, the energy loss is reduced during the gear transmission process, and the transmission efficiency is improved. In a plane perpendicular to the left and right directions of the engine 10, the projection of the input end of the left electric drive gear set 21 is staggered with the projection of the output end of the left electric drive gear set 21. This arrangement makes full use of the space on the left side of the engine 10, makes the layout of the entire power system more compact, and helps to arrange and optimize other systems inside the vehicle body.

[0093] The second motor 30 is a driving motor, and the second motor 30 is used to be connected to the right front wheel. The second motor 30 is similar to the first motor 20.
[0094] The second motor 30 is provided with a right electric drive gear set 31. The right electric drive gear set 31 and the left electric drive gear set 21 are symmetrically arranged about the longitudinal center line of the engine 10. The symmetrical layout makes the weight distribution of the electric drive gear sets on the left and right sides and their corresponding components uniform, which helps to balance the weight of the whole vehicle and improve the stability and handling of the vehicle.
[0095] The right electric drive gear set 31 includes a right front drive motor output gear shaft 311, a right transmission system reducer intermediate shaft 312, a right primary reduction gear set large gear 313, a right secondary reduction gear set small gear 314 and a right front power output gear 315.

[0097] The third motor 40 is a generator. When the engine 10 is longitudinally arranged, its output end faces the rear of the vehicle. The third motor 40 is located behind the engine 10 and is drivingly connected to the output shaft of the engine 10. By utilizing the space advantage of the longitudinally arranged engine 10, the layout of the power system is made more compact, and the utilization of the interior space of the vehicle is optimized.
