[0029] Currently, the vehicle power system is large in size and weight, resulting in the risk of insufficient vehicle space and reduced range.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle according to one or more embodiments of the present application.

[0031] The vehicle 1 may be a fuel vehicle, a gas vehicle or a new energy vehicle, and the new energy vehicle may be a hybrid vehicle or an extended range vehicle, etc. The vehicle 1 may be a front-wheel drive vehicle, a four-wheel drive vehicle, etc. The vehicle 1 includes a vehicle power system 2, which may provide power for the vehicle 1 to drive the vehicle 1 to operate.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle power system according to one or more embodiments of the present application.

[0033] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a vehicle power system 2, which includes a first power system 100, and the first power system 100 includes: a first drive shaft 110, a first motor 120 and a planetary gear assembly 130; the first motor 120 has a first motor shaft 121, and the first motor 120 is used to output power to drive the first drive shaft 110; the planetary gear assembly 130 includes a sun gear 131, a planetary gear 132, a ring gear 133 and a planetary carrier assembly 134 that are interconnected, the sun gear 131 is directly connected to the first motor shaft 121 and is coaxially arranged, and the planetary carrier assembly 134 is connected to the first drive shaft 110.

[0034] The first motor 120 may be an electric motor, and the first motor 120 may convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, thereby outputting power to the first drive shaft 110 through the planetary gear assembly 130. The first drive shaft 110 may be connected to a power device such as a wheel, etc. For example, the first drive shaft 110 may be connected to a drive wheel of the vehicle 1, thereby transmitting the power output by the first motor 120 to the drive wheel, and driving the drive wheel to rotate, thereby driving the vehicle 1. The first motor shaft 121 is directly connected to the sun gear 131 of the planetary gear assembly 130, and the sun gear 131, the planetary gear 132, the ring gear 133 and the planetary carrier assembly 134 are interconnected. The planetary carrier assembly 134 is connected to the first drive shaft 110, so that the power output by the first motor 120 is directly transmitted to the first drive shaft 110 through the planetary gear assembly 130. In some application scenarios, the planetary carrier assembly 134 may include a welded external gear, and is connected to the first drive shaft 110 through the welded external gear. It is understandable that different transmission ratios and power distribution methods can be achieved by fixing different degrees of freedom among the multiple degrees of freedom of the planetary gear assembly 130. For example, one of the sun gear 131, the planetary carrier assembly 134 and the ring gear 133 can be fixed.

[0035] Through the above-mentioned embodiment, the first motor shaft 121 is directly connected to the sun gear 131 of the planetary gear assembly 130 and is coaxially arranged. The power generated by the first motor shaft 121 can be directly transmitted to the first drive shaft 110 through the planetary gear assembly 130. Therefore, there is no need to set an additional transmission structure, such as a parallel shaft transmission structure, between the first motor shaft 121 and the first drive shaft 110, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the vehicle power system 2 and saving costs.

[0036] In some embodiments, the planetary gears 132 are meshed with the sun gear 131 and the ring gear 133 respectively, and the planetary carrier assembly 134 is connected to the planetary gear 132 to support the planetary gear 132. Thus, the sun gear 131, the planetary gear 132, the ring gear 133 and the planetary carrier assembly 134 can mutually transmit power in different application scenarios, so that the motor can output power to the first drive shaft 110 more flexibly.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first power system 100 further includes a differential assembly 140, including a differential ring gear 141 and a differential 142, wherein the differential 142 is connected to the differential ring gear 141 and the first drive shaft 110 respectively, and the differential ring gear 141 is directly connected to the planet carrier assembly 134. The power output by the first motor 120 can be transmitted to the differential ring gear 141 through the planetary row assembly 130, and then transmitted to the first drive shaft 110 through the differential 142. At the same time, the differential assembly 140 can flexibly distribute the torque on both sides of the first drive shaft 110. As a result, the stability and reliability of the power transmission from the first motor 120 to the first drive shaft 110 are further improved.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first power system 100 further includes a second motor 150 and an engine 160. The second motor 150 is electrically connected to the first motor 120. The second motor 150 has a second motor shaft 151. The engine 160 has an engine shaft 161. The engine shaft 161 is connected to the second motor shaft 151, so that the engine 160 drives the second motor 150 to generate electricity. The second motor 150 can be a generator, and the engine 160 can be, but not limited to, a fuel engine, etc. The engine 160 can provide power to the second motor 150, so that the second motor 150 converts the power provided by the engine 160 into electricity. The second motor 150 is electrically connected to the first motor 120, and the second motor 150 can provide power to the first motor 120, so that the first motor 120 can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, thereby providing power to the first drive shaft 110.

[0039] In some embodiments, the vehicle power system 2 further includes a driving gear 162 and a driven gear 163, wherein the driving gear 162 is connected to the engine shaft 161, and the driven gear 163 is connected to the second motor shaft 151, and the driving gear 162 is connected to the driven gear 163. It is understood that the power generated by the engine 160 can be sequentially transmitted to the driving gear 162 through the engine shaft 161, and then transmitted to the driven gear 163 through the meshing connection between the driving gear 162 and the driven gear 163, and then transmitted to the second motor shaft 151, and drives the second motor 150 to generate electricity. Thus, the stability of the power transmission between the engine 160 and the second motor 150 is improved through the driving gear 162 and the driven gear 163.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first power system 100 further includes an input shaft 164 and a dual mass flywheel 165, wherein the dual mass flywheel 165 is connected to the input shaft 164 and the engine shaft 161, respectively, and the engine shaft 161 is connected to the driving gear 162 through the input shaft 164. The engine shaft 161 is connected to the input shaft 164 through the dual mass flywheel 165, and the dual mass flywheel 165 can reduce the imbalance of the engine 160, especially when running at a low speed, thereby reducing the idle speed, allowing the engine 160 to run within a more economical speed range, and effectively reducing noise, thereby improving the stability of the first power system 100. The engine shaft 161 is connected to the driving gear 162 through the input shaft 164, thereby further facilitating the power transmission between the engine shaft 161 and the second motor shaft 151, and improving the stability of the power transmission between the engine shaft 161 and the second motor shaft 151.

[0041] In some embodiments, the second motor 150 generates AC power, and the first power system 100 further includes a motor controller 170, which is connected to the first motor 120 and the second motor 150, respectively, and is used to convert the AC power generated by the second motor 150 into DC power. It is understandable that the power directly generated by the second motor 150 driven by the engine 160 is AC power, and the AC power can be converted into DC power through the motor controller 170, so that the first motor 120 and other components can use the power generated by the second motor 150.

[0042] In some embodiments, the vehicle power system 2 further includes a battery 200, which is connected to the motor controller 170. The battery 200 may be a rechargeable battery, which has the advantage of being able to be used repeatedly after being charged, and the output current load of the rechargeable battery is higher than that of most disposable batteries. Common types of rechargeable batteries currently include: lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, and lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of being light in weight, large in capacity (the capacity is 1.5 to 2 times that of nickel-metal hydride batteries of the same weight), having no memory effect, and having a very low self-discharge rate, so even though the price is relatively high, they are still widely used. Lithium-ion batteries are currently also widely used in pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. The capacity of lithium-ion batteries used for such purposes is relatively low, but they have a larger output, charging current, and a longer service life. It is understandable that the battery 200 can provide power to the first motor 120 through the motor controller 170, and can also receive and store power from the second motor 150 through the motor controller 170. Thus, the battery 200 can provide power to the vehicle power system 2.

[0043] In some application scenarios, when the first power system 100 is in the power generation mode, the power generated by the engine 160 can be transmitted to the input shaft 164 through the dual mass flywheel 165, and then transmitted to the driving gear 162, and transmitted to the driven gear 163 through the driving gear 162, and then transmitted to the second motor shaft 151, so that the second motor 150 converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, and then provides power to the first motor 120 and the battery 200 through the motor controller 170.

[0044] When the first power system 100 is in the driving mode, the motor controller 170 can transmit the electric energy provided by the battery 200 or the second motor 150 to the first motor 120, so that the first motor 120 converts the electric energy into mechanical energy to generate power. The power generated by the first motor 120 can be transmitted to the planetary carrier assembly 134 through the sun gear 131, the planetary gears 132 and the ring gear 133 in sequence, and then transmitted to the differential ring gear 141, and then transmitted to the first drive shaft 110 through the differential 142.

[0045] In some embodiments, the vehicle power system 2 further includes a second power system 300, which includes a drive assembly 320 and a second drive shaft 310 connected to each other, and the drive assembly 320 is connected to the battery 200. The second drive shaft 310 can be connected to the drive wheels of the vehicle 1, and the battery 200 can provide power to the drive assembly 320. The drive assembly 320 can convert the electrical energy provided by the battery 200 into mechanical energy, so that the drive assembly 320 drives the second drive shaft 310 to rotate, and then cooperates with the first drive shaft 110 to enhance the power performance of the vehicle power system 2.

[0046] In summary, the present application provides a vehicle power system 2, which includes a first power system 100, and the first power system 100 includes: a first drive shaft 110, a first motor 120 and a planetary gear assembly 130; the first motor 120 has a first motor shaft 121, and the first motor 120 is used to output power to drive the first drive shaft 110; the planetary gear assembly 130 includes a sun gear 131, a planetary gear 132, a ring gear 133 and a planetary carrier assembly 134 that are connected to each other, the sun gear 131 is directly connected to the first motor shaft 121 and is coaxially arranged, and the planetary carrier assembly 134 is connected to the first drive shaft 110. Through the above embodiment, the first motor shaft 121 is directly connected to the sun gear 131 of the planetary gear assembly 130 and is coaxially arranged, and the power generated by the first motor shaft 121 can be directly transmitted to the first drive shaft 110 through the planetary gear assembly 130, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the vehicle power system 2 and saving costs. Compared with other vehicle power systems, the vehicle power system 2 provided in the present application is smaller in size, simpler in structure, and lower in cost.
