[0049] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 9 An electric drive assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electric drive assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a housing, a drive component 10 , a mechanical pump 4 and an electronic pump 5 .

[0051] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly 10 includes a motor 1, a reducer assembly 2 and a differential assembly 3 arranged in a housing. The reducer assembly 2 is respectively connected to the output shaft 11 of the motor 1 and the differential assembly 3 in driving connection. The mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5 are both arranged in the housing. The mechanical pump 4 is connected to the reducer assembly 2 or the differential assembly 3 in driving connection. The mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5 are used together to drive the oil in the housing to flow to the drive assembly 10.

[0052] The mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5 are connected to the oil inlet, and the oil inlet extends below the oil level at the bottom of the housing, so that the mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5 can draw oil into the oil inlet and drive the oil to flow along the preset pipeline to the drive assembly 10, so as to achieve the purpose of lubricating and cooling the drive assembly 10. The electronic pump 5 is powered by a battery to provide power for pumping oil, and the mechanical pump 4 is a mechanical pump body structure, which achieves the effect of pumping oil through the mechanical energy of power transmission. For example, a rotating mechanism 41 can be provided in the mechanical pump 4, and the rotating mechanism 41 is transmission-connected to the reducer assembly 2 or the differential assembly 3. When the rotating mechanism 41 rotates, it can drive the mechanical pump 4 to inhale and discharge oil.

[0053] The mechanical pump 4 is connected to the reducer assembly 2 or the differential assembly 3 by transmission. The mechanical pump 4 can be connected to the reducer assembly 2 or the differential assembly 3 by coaxial connection with the drive shaft or by a gear pair. In this way, the installation position and connection method of the mechanical pump 4 can be selected according to the specific situation, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the electric drive assembly 100. According to the specific design, components that can better match the requirements of the mechanical pump 4 can be selected in the reducer assembly 2 and the differential assembly 3, which can ensure that the mechanical pump 4 has a more stable output under different working conditions to achieve a better lubrication effect. For example, if the speed range of the differential assembly 3 is more suitable for the working characteristics of the mechanical pump 4, the mechanical pump 4 is connected to the differential assembly 3 by transmission, which can improve the efficiency of the electric drive assembly 100 and reduce energy loss.

[0054] The speed reducer assembly 2 and the differential assembly 3 are located at different positions, and the mechanical pump 4 can select a better connection point according to the space requirements. This may bring greater flexibility to the design of the electric drive assembly 100, making it easier to apply it in different vehicle models or different layouts, thereby reducing design complexity or cost.

[0055] When the electric drive assembly 100 is started, the motor 1 drives the reducer assembly 2 and the differential assembly 3 to operate, and the reducer assembly 2 or the differential assembly 3 then provides power to the mechanical pump 4, that is, when the electric drive assembly 100 is started, the mechanical pump 4 is started accordingly, so that the mechanical pump 4 drives the oil to flow to the drive assembly 10, so as to achieve the purpose of lubricating and cooling the drive assembly 10. When the drive assembly 10 is running, the mechanical pump 4 can continuously provide a stable oil flow, and the mechanical pump 4 can automatically adjust the flow according to the speed of the motor 1. For example, when the drive assembly 10 is running at a high speed, the efficiency of the mechanical pump 4 is improved accordingly, and more oil can be driven to flow to the drive assembly 10, thereby improving the cooling and lubrication effect of the electric drive assembly 100 under high speed and high load conditions.

[0056] The mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5 cooperate with each other. The mechanical pump 4 pumps oil through the reducer assembly 2 or the differential assembly 3, which can effectively reduce the power of the electronic pump 5, thereby achieving energy saving. The electronic pump 5 is powered by a battery and is independent of the drive assembly 10. The flow rate of the pumped oil can be intelligently adjusted according to the real-time working conditions to avoid energy waste. The electronic pump 5 can also supply oil to the drive assembly 10 for lubrication in advance before the vehicle starts, or continue to supply oil to the drive assembly 10 for cooling after the drive assembly 10 stops running, thereby reducing the wear and thermal shock of the drive assembly 10 and extending the service life of the drive assembly 10.

[0057] In addition, when either the mechanical pump 4 or the electronic pump 5 breaks down or fails, the other one can take over, thereby avoiding the failure of the lubrication and cooling functions caused by oil pumping interruption, which can effectively improve the stability and reliability of the electric drive assembly 100.

[0058] According to the electric drive assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the mechanical pump 4 is connected to the reducer assembly 2 or the differential assembly 3 of the drive assembly 10 by transmission, and the mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5 are used together to drive the oil to flow to the drive assembly 10. When the drive assembly 10 is running, the mechanical pump 4 can automatically adjust the pump oil flow according to the speed of the motor 1 to improve the cooling and lubrication effect of the electric drive assembly 100 under high speed and high load conditions. At the same time, the mechanical pump 4 can effectively reduce the power of the electronic pump 5, thereby achieving energy saving. When either the mechanical pump 4 or the electronic pump 5 fails or fails, the other can take over, thereby avoiding the interruption of the oil pumping and causing the failure of the lubrication and cooling functions, and can effectively improve the stability and reliability of the electric drive assembly 100.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the reducer assembly 2 includes a main shaft assembly 21 and a secondary shaft assembly 22 that mesh with each other. The main shaft assembly 21 is connected to the output shaft 11 of the motor 1 by transmission, the secondary shaft assembly 22 is connected to the differential assembly 3 by transmission, and the input shaft of the mechanical pump 4 is connected to the secondary shaft assembly 22 by transmission. The main shaft assembly 21 is directly connected to the output shaft 11 of the motor 1, and transmits the original power of the motor 1 to the secondary shaft assembly 22, and the secondary shaft assembly 22 is connected to the differential assembly 3 by transmission to achieve speed reduction and increase torque. At the same time, the secondary shaft assembly 22 transmits power to the mechanical pump 4, so that the mechanical pump 4 drives the oil to flow to the drive assembly 10 to achieve the purpose of lubricating and cooling the drive assembly 10. Among them, the way in which the mechanical pump 4 is connected to the secondary shaft assembly 22 can be through the coaxial connection of the drive shaft, or through the gear pair connection. In this way, the installation position and connection method of the mechanical pump 4 can be selected according to the specific situation, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the electric drive assembly 100.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the secondary shaft assembly 22 includes a rotating shaft 221, and the input shaft of the mechanical pump 4 is connected to the rotating shaft 221 and rotates synchronously. The mechanical pump 4 is located on one of the two sides in the axial direction of the secondary shaft assembly 22 and is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 221. In this way, the rotating shaft 221 can drive the input shaft of the mechanical pump 4 to rotate synchronously and coaxially, thereby driving the mechanical pump 4 to inhale and discharge oil, so as to pump the oil to the drive assembly 10 to achieve the purpose of lubrication and cooling. The transmission structure is simple and easy to implement, which can ensure the transmission stability of the mechanical pump 4 and the reducer assembly 2, and further ensure the reliability of the electric drive assembly 100.

[0061] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In the example shown, a rotatable rotating mechanism 41 is provided in the mechanical pump 4, and a speed gear 222 is provided in the secondary shaft assembly 22. The speed gear 222 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 221 and rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 221. The speed gear 222 includes a first gear 223 and a second gear 224. The first gear 223 is meshed with the main shaft assembly 21, and the second gear 224 is meshed with the differential assembly 3. The rotating mechanism 41 is connected to the rotating shaft 221 through a connecting shaft 74, and the two ends of the connecting shaft 74 in the axial direction are respectively connected to the rotating mechanism 41 and the rotating shaft 221 through splines 741. In addition, the mechanical pump 4 also has an oil suction chamber 42 and an oil discharge chamber 43. When the rotating shaft 221 rotates, the connecting shaft 74 drives the rotating mechanism 41 to rotate. While the rotating mechanism 41 rotates, the volumes of the oil suction chamber 42 and the oil discharge chamber 43 are continuously changed, so that the oil suction chamber 42 absorbs oil and discharges oil from the oil discharge chamber 43 after being filled with oil, thereby realizing the oil pumping function of the mechanical pump 4.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the secondary shaft assembly 22 includes a speed gear 222, which is meshed with the main shaft assembly 21 or the differential assembly 3, and the input shaft of the mechanical pump 4 is connected with a first pump wheel, which is in driving connection with the speed gear 222. In this way, the speed gear 222 can be driven by the first pump wheel when rotating, so that the input shaft of the mechanical pump 4 and the first pump wheel rotate synchronously and coaxially, thereby driving the mechanical pump 4 to inhale and discharge oil, so as to pump the oil to the drive assembly 10 to achieve the purpose of lubrication and cooling. The transmission structure is simple and easy to implement, which can ensure the transmission stability of the mechanical pump 4 and the reducer assembly 2, and further ensure the reliability of the electric drive assembly 100.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the differential assembly 3 includes a differential gear 31, which is meshed with the reducer assembly 2, and the input shaft of the mechanical pump 4 is connected with the second pump wheel 73, which is in driving connection with the differential gear 31. In this way, the differential gear 31 can be driven by the second pump wheel 73 when rotating, so that the input shaft of the mechanical pump 4 and the second pump wheel 73 rotate synchronously and coaxially, thereby driving the mechanical pump 4 to inhale and discharge oil, so as to pump the oil to the drive assembly 10 to achieve the purpose of lubrication and cooling. The transmission structure is simple and easy to implement, which can ensure the transmission stability of the mechanical pump 4 and the differential assembly 3, and further ensure the reliability of the electric drive assembly 100.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the electric drive assembly 100 also includes a lubrication pipeline 6, and the mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5 are used to pump oil into the lubrication pipeline 6, and the lubrication pipeline 6 is used to transport the oil to the drive assembly 10. The lubrication pipeline 6 plays a role in transportation and guidance. After the mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5 pump the oil into the lubrication pipeline 6, the lubrication pipeline 6 can make the oil flow to different positions of the drive assembly 10 according to the preset flow path, so that the oil can be more accurately transported to different parts of the drive assembly 10 that have cooling and lubrication requirements, thereby improving the cooling and lubrication effects of the electric drive assembly 100, and further improving the reliability and stability of the electric drive assembly 100.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the lubrication pipeline 6 includes a main flow path 61 and a plurality of branch paths 62. The electronic pump 5 and the mechanical pump 4 simultaneously pump oil to the main flow path 61. The plurality of branch paths 62 are respectively connected to the main flow path 61, and are used to output oil to at least one of the motor 1, the reducer assembly 2, and the differential assembly 3. The mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5 simultaneously pump oil into the main flow path 61. At least part of the main flow path 61 is arranged around the drive assembly 10. Along the oil flow direction, the plurality of branch paths 62 are respectively connected to the main flow path 61 in sequence, and the positions of the plurality of branch paths 62 correspond to the positions of the motor 1, the reducer assembly 2, and the differential assembly 3 with cooling and lubrication requirements. The oil flows from the main flow path 61 into the plurality of branch paths 62 in sequence and flows out, and is sprayed on the surfaces of the components with cooling and lubrication requirements, thereby realizing cooling and lubrication of the motor 1, the reducer assembly 2, and the differential assembly 3.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the main flow 61 is connected with a filter 71 and an oil cooler 72 in sequence. The filter 71 is used to filter impurities in the oil, and the oil cooler 72 is used to cool the oil. Along the flow direction of the oil, the filter 71 and the oil cooler 72 are located upstream of the multiple branches 62. After the mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5 pump the oil into the main flow 61, the oil first passes through the filter 71 and the oil cooler 72 in sequence, and then flows to the multiple branches 62. The filter 71 can filter particles and impurities in the oil, such as metal debris, dust, rubber particles, etc., to prevent impurities from clogging the lubrication pipeline 6 or wearing the motor 1, the transmission assembly and the differential assembly 3. The oil cooler 72 transfers the heat in the oil to a cooling medium such as air or coolant through heat exchange, which can reduce the temperature of the oil, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the drive assembly 10. It can also prevent the oil from overheating and causing the viscosity to decrease, thereby avoiding affecting the lubrication effect of the oil.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, the first flow path 63 and the second flow path 64 deliver oil to different parts of the drive assembly 10. Avoiding the mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5 from repeatedly cooling and lubricating the same parts can reduce the loads of the mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5, respectively, thereby improving the oil pumping efficiency of the mechanical pump 4 and the electronic pump 5.

Along the oil flow direction, the plurality of sub-paths 642 are respectively connected to the second oil path 641 in sequence, and the positions of the plurality of sub-paths 642 correspond to the positions in the motor 1, the reducer assembly 2, and the differential assembly 3 where cooling and lubrication are required.

When the drive assembly 10 is running, the mechanical pump 4 can automatically adjust the pump oil flow according to the speed of the motor 1 to improve the cooling and lubrication effect of the electric drive assembly 100 under high speed and high load conditions. At the same time, the mechanical pump 4 can effectively reduce the power of the electronic pump 5, thereby achieving energy saving. When either the mechanical pump 4 or the electronic pump 5 fails or fails, the other can take over, thereby avoiding the interruption of the oil pumping and causing the failure of the lubrication and cooling functions, and can effectively improve the stability and reliability of the electric drive assembly 100.
