[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0017] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to actual proportional relationships. The technology, methods and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technology, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as being merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0018] In the description of the present invention, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0019] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0020] In addition, it should be noted that the use of words such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above words have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] The current design layout of traditional electric skid-steer loaders results in larger batteries due to range requirements and low battery energy density. Since skid-steer loaders are typically compact, the limited space inside the cabin makes it difficult to accommodate the batteries. The chain drive mechanism inside the cabin occupies a significant amount of space.

[0022] In this space-limited situation, wheel-side motors are introduced to replace the original chain drive mechanism, changing the original transmission form. The wheel-side motors directly drive the tires to move, thus solving the space utilization problem of battery layout. At the same time, since the original chain drive mechanism is replaced and the power is directly transmitted to the tires, the transmission efficiency of the electric skid loader is significantly improved. At the same time, since the chain drive needs regular lubrication and maintenance during operation, based on the above problems, the utility model uses wheel-side motors and eliminates the chain drive system, thereby reducing the lubrication and maintenance costs of the original chain drive system. Based on this concept, Figure 2 The present invention provides a transmission system for an electric skid steer loader, including motors connected to four tires 5 in a one-to-one correspondence, and also includes a first controller and a second controller, wherein the first controller is connected to the two motors on the left side, and the second controller is connected to the two motors on the right side. The motors can be in the form of hub motors, etc., and preferably, the motors of the present invention are wheel-side motors 7.

[0023] The electric skid loader's transmission system also includes a power battery 1, to which the first and second controllers are connected. Both the first and second controllers utilize a two-in-one controller 6. The power battery 1 provides electricity, which is distributed through the two-in-one controller 6 to the wheel-side motors 7. The wheel-side motors 7 convert the electricity into mechanical power, which is directly transmitted to the tires 5 to drive the electric skid loader. Because the skid loader's steering relies on the linear speed difference between the left and right sides, the two left wheels require a two-in-one controller 6, and both wheels rotate at the same speed. The same principle applies to the two right wheels.

[0024] This new utility model uses wheel-side motors instead of the original chain drive mechanism in the electric skid-steer loader's transmission system. This changes the original transmission method, directly driving the tires with the wheel-side motors. This significantly improves the electric skid-steer loader's transmission efficiency and reduces the lubrication and maintenance costs of the original chain drive system. It also greatly increases the internal space utilization of the electric skid-steer loader.

[0025] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to them. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and they should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
