Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of reduction housings, in particular to a dual-motor reduction housing for an electric drive axle. Background Art

[0002] In the electric drive axles currently available in China, the transmission gears of the reducers are mostly planetary gear trains or cylindrical gear structures. The reduction ratio of reducers with this structure is relatively low, and multiple sets of gears are required to cooperate to achieve a high reduction ratio, which increases the weight and cost of the reducer. Moreover, the reducers of domestic electric vehicles use single-motor reducers, which presents a problem in models that require the use of high-power motors: high-power motors are large in size and require a large amount of vehicle chassis space. However, some models do not have enough chassis space to accommodate high-power motors. As a result, the motors cannot be arranged or the design is enlarged to force a match, making it impossible to achieve both high power and compact vehicle layout, which is a constraint on the development of electric vehicles. Domestic electric drive axles for automobiles also mostly adopt a single-motor structure, which has a low output torque and cannot meet the requirements of the vehicle's power performance.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is necessary to provide a dual-motor reduction housing for an electric drive axle to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content
