[0002] The differential for electric vehicles is an important part of the electric vehicle transmission system. It is mainly used to distribute torque and driving force between two drive devices (such as motors) to ensure that the vehicle can remain stable when turning. The working principle of the electric vehicle differential is mainly based on gear transmission and differential principles. The differential contains a driving gear, a driven gear and a differential housing. The driving gear is directly connected to the drive shaft, while the driven gear is connected to the two wheels through a half shaft. When the vehicle turns, the speed of the inner tire will be relatively low, while the speed of the outer tire will be relatively high. The function of the differential is to use the gear transmission between the driving gear and the driven gear so that the two wheels can still rotate independently at different speeds under differential conditions.
