[0041] In order to effectively transmit the torque generated by the vehicle during the transmission process to the wheels, the vehicle includes a torque transmission device 3 for transmitting power.

[0042] However, the torque transmission device 3 in the related art has a large number of transmission components, high cost, and low integration, which will lead to reduced energy conversion efficiency, weakened vehicle power output, and increased energy consumption.

[0043] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, which can be a fuel vehicle, an electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, a gas vehicle, a methanol vehicle, a solar vehicle, etc.

[0044] For example, the vehicle may be a passenger vehicle such as a sedan, a sport utility vehicle (SUV), a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or a bus, a truck, a semi-trailer, etc. This application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0045] For ease of understanding, the following content of this application is described using an electric vehicle as an example.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The vehicle in this application also includes wheels. Wheels are the core component of vehicle driving and control, and play multiple functions such as load-bearing, transmission, suspension, steering, etc., which have an important impact on the performance, safety and comfort of the vehicle.

[0047] The present application does not limit the number of wheels, and the number of wheels can be four, six or eight. For the sake of convenience.

[0048] For example, see Figure 1 In the present application, the wheels include a first wheel 20 and a second wheel 21 .

[0049] It should be noted that the first wheel 20 and the second wheel 21 may be the front wheels of the vehicle or the rear wheels of the vehicle, and this application does not limit this.

[0050] In some embodiments, the vehicle in the present application includes a power transmission system, which is responsible for transmitting the power generated by the power components of the vehicle to the wheels to drive the vehicle to move.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The power transmission system in the present application includes a torque transmission device, which is used to transmit torque during vehicle driving.

[0052] In some embodiments, the power transmission system in the present application includes a driving device, and the power generated by the driving device is transmitted to the wheels of the vehicle so that the wheels of the vehicle can obtain power to rotate, thereby realizing the driving function of the vehicle.

[0053] In some embodiments, the power transmission system in the present application further includes a rotating member, which is transmission-connected to a driving device, and the driving device is used to drive the rotating member to rotate.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The driving device in the present application includes a power member 1 , and the power member 1 includes a third power output shaft, and the third power output shaft is used for power transmission of the power member 1 .

[0055] Exemplarily, the power component 1 is a motor.

[0056] In some embodiments, the motor in the present application includes a motor stator and a motor rotor. The motor stator generates a rotating magnetic field, and the motor rotor rotates under the action of the magnetic field. The magnetic field interaction between the motor stator and the motor rotor causes the motor to generate torque, thereby driving the motor to output mechanical power to the third power output shaft to achieve power transmission.

[0057] It can be understood that when the vehicle is a fuel vehicle, the power component 1 can be an engine.

[0058] For example, the power transmission system in the present application is a parallel-axis electric drive structure, or the power transmission system in the present application is a coaxial electric drive structure. This application is not limited to this.

[0059] Among them, parallel-axis electric drive refers to a design method in which the axis of the motor rotor is arranged parallel to the axis of the vehicle, while coaxial electric drive refers to a design method in which the axis of the motor rotor is arranged coaxially with the axis of the vehicle.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The driving device in the present application also includes a reducer, which is connected to the power member 1, and the rotating output end of the reducer forms a rotating member.

[0061] Specifically, the reducer includes a primary driving gear 4, a primary driven gear 5, a secondary driving gear 6 and a secondary driven gear 7. The primary driving gear 4 is connected to the third power output shaft, the primary driven gear 5 is meshed with and transmission-connected to the primary driving gear 4, the secondary driving gear 6 is transmission-connected to the primary driven gear 5, the primary driven gear 5 can drive the secondary driving gear 6 to rotate, the secondary driven gear 7 is meshed with and transmission-connected to the secondary driving gear 6, and the rotation output end of the reducer is the secondary driven gear 7.

[0062] Specifically, the power output by the third power output shaft is sequentially transmitted from the first-stage driving gear 4 to the first-stage driven gear 5, then from the first-stage driven gear 5 to the second-stage driving gear 6, and then from the second-stage driving gear 6 to the second-stage driven gear 7. In this way, the power output by the third power output shaft realizes multi-stage transmission.

[0063] Among them, the first-stage driving gear 4, the first-stage driven gear 5, the second-stage driving gear 6 and the second-stage driven gear 7 are of different sizes. The specific sizes can be set differently according to the vehicle model, and this application does not limit this.

[0064] In this way, by changing the rotation speed and torque through the above-mentioned combination of gears of different sizes, a power output suitable for vehicle driving can be achieved, thereby improving the performance and efficiency of the vehicle.

[0065] It should be noted that the power transmission of the third power output shaft in the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned transmission method. The gears connected to the third power output shaft can also include three-stage driving gears and three-stage driven gears, which is not limited in the present application.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The vehicle in the present application further includes a differential 2, and the secondary driven gear 7 is drivingly connected to the differential 2. The differential 2 is disposed between the first wheel 20 and the second wheel 21, and the differential 2 can transmit the power of the secondary driven gear 7 to the first wheel 20 and the second wheel 21, and the differential 2 is used to balance the speed difference between the first wheel 20 and the second wheel 21 when the vehicle is traveling.

[0067] The differential 2 has a power input shaft, a first power output shaft and a second power output shaft. The power input shaft is connected to the rotating member. The first power output shaft is used to connect to the first wheel 20 , and the second power output shaft is used to connect to the second wheel 21 .

[0068] For example, see Figure 1 In order to save vehicle space, the rotating part in this application is a secondary driven gear 7.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 Combined with Figure 2 The torque transmission device 3 in the present application also includes a first vector gear 301, a second vector gear 302 and a splitting assembly. The first vector gear 301 is coaxially connected to the first power output shaft, and the second vector gear 302 is coaxially connected to the rotating member, that is, the second vector gear 302 is coaxially connected to the secondary driven gear 7, and the secondary driven gear 7 can transmit power to the second vector gear 302.

[0070] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 Combined with Figure 2 The split-and-engagement assembly includes a first matching gear 303, a second matching gear 304, and a first clutch 305. The first clutch 305 is connected between the first matching gear 303 and the second matching gear 304. There are at least two gears meshing in the split-and-engagement assembly.

[0071] Exemplarily, the first mating gear 303 is internally meshed with the first vector gear 301 , and the second mating gear 304 is externally meshed with the second vector gear 302 .

[0072] Exemplarily, the first matching gear 303 is externally meshed with the first vector gear 301 , and the second matching gear 304 is internally meshed with the second vector gear 302 .

[0073] Exemplarily, the first mating gear 303 is internally meshed with the first vector gear 301 , and the second mating gear 304 is internally meshed with the second vector gear 302 .

[0074] Among them, internal meshing is a type of meshing in gear transmission, also known as internal meshing or internal meshing transmission. In internal meshing, the gear teeth of the two gears mesh with each other internally, that is, the tooth surfaces of the gears mesh inwards.

[0075] The internal meshing gear method can make the layout of the gear transmission components more compact. Since the internal meshing gear is designed to mesh with the gear tooth surface facing inward, the size of the overall transmission device can be effectively reduced, allowing the transmission system to have a greater torque transmission capacity within a limited space.

[0076] In addition, internal gear transmissions are usually able to achieve large transmission ratios, i.e. the speed and torque ratio between the input shaft and the output shaft.

[0077] At the same time, the internal meshing gear transmission has a tight meshing mode, which can reduce the gap and clearance in the transmission, making the transmission more stable and reliable. At the same time, the internal meshing mode can also reduce the noise of the gear transmission system and improve the driving comfort of the vehicle.

[0078] In addition, internal gear transmission usually has higher transmission efficiency because the gears are more closely meshed and the friction loss is smaller. This can reduce energy loss during power transmission and improve the vehicle's fuel economy and performance.

[0079] It can be understood that by setting the transmission mode of the first matching gear 303 and the first vector gear 301 to an internally meshing gear transmission mode, and setting the transmission mode of the second matching gear 304 and the second vector gear 302 to an internally meshing gear transmission mode, the structure of the entire torque transmission device 3 can be made compact, and at the same time, the torque transmission device 3 can have a larger transmission ratio.

[0080] As a result, the vehicle space occupied by the power transmission system in the present application is further reduced, and thus the cost of the vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present application is further reduced.

[0081] In addition, the present application can achieve coupling and disconnection of the first mating gear 303 and the second mating gear 304 through the first clutch 305, so that the torque transmission device 3 in the present application can meet the torque distribution requirements for the first wheel 20 and the second wheel 21 when the vehicle turns.

[0082] Specifically, when the first mating gear 303 is coupled with the second mating gear 304 through the first clutch 305, the torque during the vehicle's driving is transmitted to the second vector gear 302 through the rotating member, the second vector gear 302 transmits the torque to the second mating gear 304, the second mating gear 304 transmits the torque to the first mating gear 303, the first mating gear 303 transmits the torque to the first vector gear 301, and the first vector gear 301 transmits power to the first wheel 20 through the first power shaft.

[0083] In some embodiments, the vehicle in the present application further includes a connecting shell, which is fixedly connected between the rotating member and the second vector gear 302, and the differential 2 is accommodated in the connecting shell.

[0084] In this way, the second vector gear 302 and the connection shell in the present application can be rigidly connected, wherein the rigid connection refers to a rigid connection between the second vector gear 302 and the connection shell.

[0085] Through this connection method, the present application ensures a firm connection between the second vector gear 302 and the connecting shell, so that the second vector gear 302 and the connecting shell become a whole and bear force and torque together.

[0086] Through the hard connection between the second vector gear 302 and the connecting shell, the torque generated by the vehicle power part 1 can be effectively transferred to the driving wheels of the vehicle, ensuring the normal driving of the vehicle.

[0087] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 Combined with Figure 2 The torque transmission device 3 in the present application further includes a third vector gear 306 , and the third vector gear 306 is coaxially connected to the first power output shaft.

[0088] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 Combined with Figure 2 The separation and combination assembly in the present application also includes a support frame, a third mating gear 307 and a second clutch 311. In order to further improve the integration of the torque transmission device 3, the third mating gear 307 is internally meshed with the third vector gear 306, and the second clutch 311 is connected between the second mating gear 304 and the third mating gear 307.

[0089] Among them, see Figure 1 Combined with Figure 2The supporting frame includes a first frame portion 308, a second frame portion 309 and a third frame portion 310. The first frame portion 308 is connected to the second mating gear 304, the second frame portion 309 is connected between the first frame portion 308 and the first mating gear 303, the third frame portion 310 is connected between the first frame portion 308 and the third mating gear 307, the first clutch 305 is arranged in the second frame portion 309, the second clutch 311 is arranged in the third frame portion 310, and the second clutch 311 is arranged between the third mating gear 307 and the second mating gear 304.

[0090] Specifically, when the second mating gear 304 is coupled with the third mating gear 307 through the second clutch 311, the torque during vehicle driving is transmitted to the third vector gear 306 through the differential 2, the third vector gear 306 transmits the torque to the third mating gear 307, the third mating gear 307 transmits the torque to the second mating gear 304, the second mating gear 304 transmits the torque to the differential 2, and the differential 2 transmits the torque to the second wheel 21 through the second power output shaft.

[0091] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, in the present application, the first mating gear 303, the second mating gear 304, the first clutch 305, and the second clutch 311 can be integrated into a whole through the first frame part 308, the second frame part 309, and the third frame part 310, which can reduce the connecting parts and supporting parts between the various components, and effectively reduce the size and volume of the entire torque transmission device 3, making the whole vehicle more compact and reducing the cost of vehicle production.

[0092] Furthermore, the differential 2 in the present application further includes a vector connection block, and the second mating gear 304 is hard-connected to the vector connection block, wherein the hard connection refers to a rigid connection between the second mating gear 304 and the vector connection block.

[0093] In some embodiments, a ratio of the number of teeth of the first vector gear 301 to the first mating gear 303 is greater than 1. A ratio of the number of teeth of the third vector gear 306 to the third mating gear 307 is less than 1.

[0094] It can be understood that when the tooth ratio between the mating gears is greater than 1 or less than 1, the transmission direction is different, that is, the torque transmission direction between the first vector gear 301 and the first mating gear 303 and the torque transmission direction between the third vector gear 306 and the third mating gear 307 in the present application are opposite.

[0095] The first wheel 20 and the second wheel 21 are located on both sides of the vehicle along the width direction thereof. Through the above arrangement, the torque transmission device 3 in the present application can transmit torque to the first wheel 20 and the second wheel 21 which are arranged at opposite positions along the width direction of the vehicle.

[0096] In some embodiments, in the present application, along the axial direction of the first power output shaft, the first vector gear 301 , the second vector gear 302 , and the third vector gear 306 are located on the same side of the differential 2 .

[0097] It is understandable that the torque transmission device 3 in the present application is located on the same side of the differential 2, which can reduce the number of connectors and pipes between the components of the torque transmission device 3 and simplify the structure of the entire torque transmission device. This can reduce the number and complexity of components, reduce the possibility of failure, and improve the reliability and stability of the torque transmission device.

[0098] In some embodiments, the vehicle in the present application further includes a controller, which is connected to the first clutch 305 and the second clutch 311 .

[0099] When driving on a curved road, the outer wheel has a relatively high rotation speed. If better traction on the curve is desired, the outer wheel needs more power. The torque transmission device 3 in the present application can transfer part of the power of the slow-rotating wheel (inner wheel) to the fast-rotating wheel (outer wheel), thereby helping the vehicle obtain better traction on the curve.

[0100] For ease of understanding, taking the left and right wheels as an example, when making a left turn, the right wheel of the vehicle needs to bear a larger torque, while the left wheel needs to bear a relatively smaller torque; when making a right turn, the left wheel needs to bear a larger torque, while the right wheel needs to bear a relatively smaller torque.

[0101] It should be understood that the "left and right" here is a relative position description, which can be the left and right directions when the driver or passenger is driving or riding in a vehicle, or the left and right directions when the driver or passenger is facing the vehicle. This application does not limit this.

[0102] For example, see Figure 1 Combined with Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 When the vehicle is traveling in a straight line, the controller controls the second clutch 311 to disconnect the second mating gear 304 from the third mating gear 307, and controls the first clutch 305 to disconnect the first mating gear 303 from the second mating gear 304.
