Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0040] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may also be an intermediate component. When a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time.

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present application belongs. The terms used in the present application in the specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used in the present application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0042] Next, some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0043] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the present application provides a vehicle, which includes a vehicle frame 100 and a drive assembly 200. The drive assembly 200 is disposed on the vehicle frame 100. The drive assembly 200 provides power for the vehicle to drive the vehicle to travel. The vehicle further includes a body 300, a drive shaft 400, a heat dissipation module 500, and a steering system (not shown). The body 300 is connected to the vehicle frame 100. The body 300 is a place for passengers and drivers to ride, providing a comfortable and safe environment for passengers and also having the function of loading goods. The body 300 includes a body frame, body exterior parts, body interior parts, body electrical accessories, etc. The drive shaft 400 is an important component for transmitting power in the vehicle transmission system, used to transmit the power output by the power assembly to the wheels to make the vehicle generate driving force. The heat dissipation module 500 includes components such as a radiator, used to dissipate the heat generated by the drive assembly 200 to keep the drive assembly 200 at a normal operating temperature. The steering system is used to change or maintain the driving direction of the vehicle.

[0044] In new energy vehicles, in order to improve the vehicle's cruising range, high-speed driving economic efficiency, and charging convenience, an engine and a generator are configured in the power assembly.

[0045] In the prior art, the engine, generator and two drive motors are arranged in the front cabin of the vehicle at the same time, which takes up a lot of space and affects the placement of other components. In particular, there is insufficient clearance between the drive assembly and the left and right longitudinal beams of the frame, interference with the cooling module at the front end of the vehicle, interference with the steering system, and occupation of the engine exhaust pipe space.

[0046] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The present application provides a vehicle drive assembly 200 , which includes a housing 210 , a first drive motor 220 , a second drive motor 230 , and a generator 240 .

[0047] A vehicle includes multiple pairs of wheels that contact the ground, provide friction and support, and enable the vehicle to move. For example, a car usually has four wheels (two pairs), while some heavy trucks or special-purpose vehicles may have more wheels to provide better stability and carrying capacity. In addition, some specially designed vehicles, such as tanks or certain engineering vehicles, may use seven or more pairs of wheels. Among them, a pair of wheels refers to the left front wheel and the right front wheel, or the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel of the vehicle.

[0048] For example, the left front wheel of the vehicle is the first wheel 610, the right front wheel of the vehicle is the second wheel 620, and the first wheel 610 and the second wheel 620 are coaxially arranged. The first wheel 610 is connected to the drive assembly 200 through a transmission shaft 400, and the second wheel 620 is connected to the drive assembly 200 through another transmission shaft 400.

[0049] The drive assembly 200 is mounted on the frame 100 through the housing 210, and the first drive motor 220 is connected to the first wheel 610 to drive the first wheel 610 to rotate; the second drive motor 230 is connected to the second wheel 620 to drive the second wheel 620 to rotate. That is, the drive assembly 200 provided in the present application can realize independent driving of the first wheel 610 and the second wheel 620, improve traction and stability, and no differential is required. The generator 240 is used to power the first drive motor 220 and the second drive motor 230 to increase the cruising range of the vehicle. Among them, the electric energy generated by the generator 240 can be directly provided to the first drive motor 220 and the second drive motor 230, or the electric energy generated by the generator 240 is stored in the battery, and the electric power is transmitted to the first drive motor 220 and the second drive motor 230 through the battery.

[0050] The drive assembly 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application arranges the first drive motor 220, the second drive motor 230 and the generator 240 in a triangle so that the entire drive assembly 200 has a compact structure and occupies a small space, thereby providing more space for placing other components of the vehicle.

[0051] Among them, the triangular arrangement of the first drive motor 220, the second drive motor 230, and the generator 240 can be, but is not limited to, forms such as an equilateral triangle layout or an isosceles triangle layout, etc.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the projection of the generator 240 in the first direction overlaps at least partially with the projections of the first drive motor 220 and the second drive motor 230 in the first direction, enabling the first drive motor 220, the second drive motor 230, and the generator 240 to be arranged more closely in space, reducing the independent space required for each of the first drive motor 220, the second drive motor 230, and the generator 240, thereby improving the space utilization rate.

[0053] Among them, the first direction is the radial direction of the first drive motor 220 or the second drive motor 230 or the generator 240, and the first direction can be the X direction.

[0054] The drive assembly 200 further includes a first transmission mechanism and a second transmission mechanism. One end of the first transmission mechanism is connected to the first drive motor 220, and the other end of the first transmission mechanism is adapted to be connected to the first wheel 610. One end of the second transmission mechanism is connected to the second drive motor 230, and the other end of the second transmission mechanism is adapted to be connected to the second wheel 620; in the second direction Y, the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission mechanism are located on the same side of the first drive motor 220 and the second drive motor 230. By arranging the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission mechanism on the same side of the first drive motor 220 and the second drive motor 230, the space of the drive assembly 200 in the second direction Y can be significantly reduced, making the entire drive assembly 200 more compact and helping to optimize the weight distribution of the vehicle.

[0055] Among them, the second direction Y is the axial direction of the first drive motor 220 or the second drive motor 230 or the generator 240.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the drive assembly 200 further includes a third transmission mechanism. One end of the third transmission mechanism is connected to the generator 240, and the other end of the third transmission mechanism is adapted to be connected to the engine 290 of the vehicle; in the second direction Y, the first transmission mechanism, the second transmission mechanism, and the third transmission mechanism are located on the same side of the first drive motor 220 and the second drive motor 230 to further reduce the space of the drive assembly 200 in the second direction Y, making the entire drive assembly 200 more compact.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7, the first drive motor 220 includes a first rotating shaft 221 and a first stator core 222 disposed around the first rotating shaft 221. The first rotating shaft 221 is connected to the first transmission mechanism, and the first stator core 222 is fixed to the housing 210. Specifically, the first stator core 222 belongs to the stator part of the first drive motor 220, and the first rotating shaft 221 belongs to the rotor part of the first drive motor 220. A winding is wound around the first stator core 222. The first drive motor 220 further includes a first rotor core, and the first rotating shaft 221 is fixed to the first rotor core. After the first drive motor 220 is powered on, the winding generates a rotating magnetic field. This rotating magnetic field acts on the rotor part of the first drive motor 220, thereby generating an induced current in the rotor. The induced current generates a magnetic field opposite to the rotating magnetic field, and the magnetic field drives the rotor to rotate, thereby converting electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the wheels to rotate. Among them, the first rotating shaft 221 is supported on the housing 210 by bearings, enabling the first rotating shaft 221 to rotate relative to the first stator core 222.

[0058] The second drive motor 230 includes a second rotating shaft 231 and a second stator core 232 disposed around the second rotating shaft 231. The second rotating shaft 231 is connected to the second transmission mechanism, and the second stator core 232 is fixed to the housing 210. Specifically, the second stator core 232 belongs to the stator part of the second drive motor 230, and the second rotating shaft 231 belongs to the rotor part of the second drive motor 230. A winding is wound around the second stator core 232. The second drive motor 230 further includes a second rotor core, and the second rotating shaft 231 is fixed to the second rotor core. After the second drive motor 230 is powered on, the winding generates a rotating magnetic field. This rotating magnetic field acts on the rotor part of the second drive motor 230, thereby generating an induced current in the rotor. The induced current generates a magnetic field opposite to the rotating magnetic field, and the magnetic field drives the rotor to rotate, thereby converting electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the wheels to rotate. Among them, the second rotating shaft 231 is supported on the housing 210 by bearings, enabling the second rotating shaft 231 to rotate relative to the second stator core 232.

[0059] The vehicle further includes an engine 290 which is disposed outside the housing 210. The generator 240 includes a third rotating shaft 241 and a third stator core 242 disposed around the third rotating shaft 241. The third rotating shaft 241 is drivingly connected to the output shaft of the engine 290 through a third transmission mechanism, and the third stator core 242 is fixed to the housing 210. The generator 240 converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The third rotating shaft 241 is rotatably connected to the housing 210 through bearings, and windings are wound around the third stator core 242. The third stator core 242 belongs to the stator part of the generator 240, and the second rotating shaft 231 belongs to the rotor part of the generator 240, and windings are wound around the third stator core 242. The third rotating shaft 241 of the generator 240 is driven by the engine 290 to rotate. When the rotor of the generator 240 rotates in the third stator core 242, magnetic induction lines will be cut in the windings on the third stator core 242, thereby generating an induced electromotive force. This induced electromotive force is then output as electrical energy through an external circuit, so that the generator 240 supplies power to the first drive motor 220 and the second drive motor 230.

[0060] In the drive assembly 200 provided in the present application, by directly fixing the first stator core 222, the second stator core 232, and the third stator core 242 to the housing 210, that is, the first drive motor 220, the second drive motor 230, and the generator 240 do not need to be provided with independent housings respectively, the number of components is reduced, so that the overall structure of the drive assembly 200 is more compact and occupies less space.

[0061] The first transmission mechanism includes a first output shaft 251 and a first transmission component. The first output shaft 251 is used for drivingly connecting with one of a pair of vehicle wheels. The first transmission component is connected to the first output shaft 251 and the first rotating shaft 221, and the first transmission component is received in the housing 210. The first transmission component is used for connecting the first output shaft 251 and the first rotating shaft 221. The first transmission component includes a first gear 261 and a second gear 262. The first gear 261 is fixedly provided on the first rotating shaft 221, the second gear 262 is fixedly provided on the first output shaft 251, the first gear 261 is drivingly connected to the second gear 262, and the number of teeth of the first gear 261 is less than that of the second gear 262, so that the first gear 261 and the second gear 262 form a first-stage speed reduction when driving. Receiving the first transmission component in the housing 210 is equivalent to integrating the speed reducer of the first drive motor 220 into the housing 210 as well, so that the overall structure of the drive assembly 200 is more compact.

[0062] Optionally, the first transmission component further includes a first gear shaft 263 and a third gear 264. The third gear 264 is rotatably connected to the housing 210, and the first gear shaft 263 is rotatably connected to the housing 210. A fourth gear 263a and a fifth gear 263b are fixedly provided on the first gear shaft 263. The first gear 261 meshes with the fourth gear 263a, and the fifth gear 263b, the third gear 264, and the second gear 262 are meshed in sequence. The number of teeth of the first gear 261 is less than that of the fourth gear 263a, the number of teeth of the fifth gear 263b is less than that of the third gear 264, and the number of teeth of the third gear 264 is less than that of the second gear 262. Specifically, the meshing of the first gear 261 and the fourth gear 263a forms a first-stage speed reduction. The fifth gear 263b and the fourth gear 263a are coaxial, and the meshing of the fifth gear 263b and the third gear 264 forms a second-stage speed reduction. The meshing of the third gear 264 and the second gear 262 forms a third-stage speed reduction to achieve the effect of multi-stage speed reduction. The output speed of the first drive motor 220 is effectively reduced, thereby meeting the required lower speed during the driving of the wheels. While reducing the speed, the output torque is significantly increased through the first transmission component, enabling the wheels to obtain a greater driving force, thereby improving the load capacity and climbing ability of the vehicle.

[0063] The second transmission mechanism includes a second output shaft 252 and a second transmission component. The second output shaft 252 is used for driving connection with the other one of a pair of wheels in the vehicle. The second transmission component is connected to the second output shaft 252 and the second rotating shaft 231, and the second transmission component is received in the housing 210. The second transmission component is used for connecting the second output shaft 252 and the second rotating shaft 231. The second transmission component includes a sixth gear 271 and a seventh gear 272. The sixth gear 271 is fixedly provided on the second rotating shaft 231, and the seventh gear 272 is fixedly provided on the second output shaft 252. The sixth gear 271 is in transmission connection with the seventh gear 272, and the number of teeth of the sixth gear 271 is less than that of the seventh gear 272. So that the meshing of the sixth gear 271 and the seventh gear 272 forms a first-stage speed reduction. Receiving the second transmission component in the housing 210 is equivalent to integrating the reduction gearbox of the second drive motor 230 into the housing 210, making the overall structure of the drive assembly 200 more compact.

[0064] Optionally, the second transmission component further includes a second gear shaft 273 and an eighth gear 274. The eighth gear 274 is rotatably connected to the housing 210, and the second gear shaft 273 is rotatably connected to the housing 210. A ninth gear 273a and a tenth gear 273b are fixedly provided on the second gear shaft 273. The sixth gear 271 meshes with the ninth gear 273a, and the tenth gear 273b meshes with the eighth gear 274 and then meshes with the seventh gear 272 in sequence. The number of teeth of the sixth gear 271 is less than that of the ninth gear 273a, the number of teeth of the tenth gear 273b is less than that of the eighth gear 274, and the number of teeth of the eighth gear 274 is less than that of the seventh gear 272. Specifically, the meshing of the sixth gear 271 and the ninth gear 273a forms a first-stage speed reduction. The ninth gear 273a and the tenth gear 273b are coaxial. The meshing of the tenth gear 273b and the eighth gear 274 forms a second-stage speed reduction. The meshing of the eighth gear 274 and the seventh gear 272 forms a third-stage speed reduction to achieve the effect of multi-stage speed reduction. The output speed of the second drive motor 230 is effectively reduced, thereby meeting the required lower speed during the driving of the wheels. While reducing the speed, the output torque is significantly increased through the second transmission component, enabling the wheels to obtain a greater driving force, thereby improving the load capacity and climbing ability of the vehicle.

[0065] Among them, the axis of the first output shaft 251 and the axis of the second output shaft 252 are on the same axis. The second gear 262 is fixedly provided on the first output shaft 251, and the number of teeth of the third gear 264 is less than that of the second gear 262, and the diameter of the second gear 262 is larger. The seventh gear 272 is fixedly provided on the second output shaft 252, and the number of teeth of the eighth gear 274 is less than that of the seventh gear 272, and the diameter of the seventh gear 272 is larger. The axis of the first output shaft 251 and the axis of the second output shaft 252 are on the same axis, that is, the first output shaft 251 and the second output shaft 252 are coaxially arranged, so that the second gear 262 and the seventh gear 272 are arranged side by side to reduce the space occupied by the housing 210 in the radial direction of the first output shaft 251.

[0066] In the drive assembly 200 provided in the present application, the first drive motor 220 and the second drive motor 230 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the first output shaft 251 or the second output shaft 252 to reduce the space occupied by the first drive motor 220 and the second drive motor 230 in the axial direction of the first output shaft 251 of the housing 210, thereby reducing the size of the housing 210 in the axial direction of the first output shaft 251, so that the drive assembly 200 can be placed between the left and right longitudinal beams of the vehicle frame 100.

[0067] The third transmission mechanism includes an input shaft 253 and a third transmission component. The third transmission component is connected to the input shaft 253 and the third rotating shaft 241, and the third transmission component is housed in the housing 210. The input shaft 253 is connected to the output shaft of the engine 290. The third transmission component is used to connect the input shaft 253 and the third rotating shaft 241. The third transmission component includes an eleventh gear 281 and a twelfth gear 282. The eleventh gear 281 is fixedly provided on the third rotating shaft 241, and the twelfth gear 282 is fixedly provided on the input shaft 253. The number of teeth of the eleventh gear 281 is less than that of the twelfth gear 282, so that the twelfth gear 282 and the eleventh gear 281 are driven to form a first-stage speed increase. Housing the third transmission component in the housing 210 is equivalent to integrating the reduction gearbox of the generator 240 into the housing 210, making the overall structure of the drive assembly 200 more compact. The generator 240 has a relatively high rotational speed requirement. By connecting the third transmission component between the output shaft of the engine 290 and the third rotating shaft 241, the rotational speed matching is achieved and the power generation amount is increased.

[0068] In one embodiment, the third transmission component is located radially outside the first output shaft 251 or the second output shaft 252 to further reduce the size of the housing 210 in the axial direction of the first output shaft 251.

[0069] In the drive assembly 200 provided in the present application, the housing 210 includes a first part 211, a second part 212, and a third part 213 that are integrally provided. The size of the first part 211 in the axial direction of the first output shaft 251, the size of the second part 212 in the axial direction of the first output shaft 251, and the size of the third part 213 in the axial direction of the first output shaft 251 decrease in sequence. The first drive motor 220 and the second drive motor 230 are housed in the first part 211, the generator 240 is housed in the second part 212, and the first output shaft 251 and the second output shaft 252 are both rotatably connected to the third part 213. Specifically, the first output shaft 251 is connected to the first wheel 610 through a transmission shaft 400, and the second output shaft 252 is connected to the second wheel 620 through another transmission shaft 400. Connecting the first output shaft 251 and the second output shaft 252 to the third part 213 provides a larger installation space for the transmission shaft 400.

[0070] In one embodiment, the vehicle frame 100 includes a first longitudinal beam 110 and a second longitudinal beam 120. The first longitudinal beam 110 and the second longitudinal beam 120 are spaced apart in the second direction Y. Both the engine 290 and the drive assembly 200 are disposed between the first longitudinal beam 110 and the second longitudinal beam 120, and the engine 290 is located on one side of the drive assembly 200 in the second direction Y. Specifically, the engine 290 is fixed to the outer wall of the housing 210. A connecting portion 214 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 210. The connecting portion 214 is used to mount the engine 290. The engine 290 is connected to the housing 210 to further improve the integration of the drive assembly 200 and reduce the occupied space.
