The power of the travel system is only separated by the generator and the motor, and the volume, weight and structural complexity of the gearbox are not effectively reduced. The compact structure of the whole machine is difficult to meet market demand. Utility Model Content

[0019] Embodiment: see Figure 1-Figure 2A hybrid crawler-type power chassis transmission structure includes a fuel engine, a generator, and a power output assembly 19 connected in sequence. The clutch shaft 4 of the clutch passes through the generator and is connected to the power output assembly 19, simultaneously inputting power to the generator and the power output assembly 19. Specifically, the generator includes a cooperating stator assembly 5 and rotor assembly 6, which is coaxially mounted on the clutch shaft 4. In this embodiment, the clutch's driving shaft is drivingly connected to the fuel engine's output shaft, while its driven shaft, the clutch shaft 4 (equivalent to the I shaft of a traditional tractor), passes directly through the generator and is connected to the power output assembly 19 via a spline sleeve 9. The clutch can control the on / off of power transmission, resulting in a simpler and more compact structure. Furthermore, the clutch shaft 4, as an integral component of the generator, facilitates positioning and assembly with other generator components.
[0020] In the present invention, the fuel engine, the generator and the power output assembly 19 are connected in sequence, and the clutch shaft 4 directly inputs power to the generator and the power output assembly 19. A complex gear transmission structure is no longer required, and the traditional gearbox structure is completely abandoned, which greatly simplifies the chassis structure, makes the structure more compact, lighter, and easier to assemble.
[0021] In addition, the utility model further comprises a battery pack, an electric motor and a travel assembly which are connected in sequence, and the battery pack is connected to a generator, and the battery pack inputs power to the travel assembly through the electric motor.
[0022] Specifically, the generator is housed within a support housing integrally formed with the clutch housing 1. The support housing can be formed by extending the clutch housing 1 away from the fuel engine, and has a mounting cavity within it. The generator has a front support housing 2 and a rear support housing 7 at each end to secure the generator within the support housing. A stator assembly 5 is disposed between the front and rear support housings 2 and 7, and a rotor assembly 6 on the clutch shaft 4 cooperates with the stator assembly 5 to generate electricity. Furthermore, a fan 3 is provided on the clutch shaft 4. Heat dissipation holes are provided on the side of the front support housing 2 near the clutch to ensure heat dissipation from the generator. Heat dissipation holes can also be provided on the clutch housing to ensure timely heat dissipation.
[0023] The power output assembly 19 includes a power output driving shaft 10 and a power output shaft 12. The power output driving shaft 10 is coaxially connected to the clutch shaft 4. In this embodiment, a rear axle housing 8 is also included for connecting the travel assembly. The rear axle housing 8 is connected to the support housing. The power output assembly 19 is installed in the rear axle housing 8, and one end of the power output shaft 12 extends out of the rear axle housing 8. Specifically, the clutch shaft 4 is coaxially connected to the power output driving shaft 10 located in the rear axle housing 8 through a spline sleeve 9, and a plurality of power output driving gears 11 are provided on the power output driving shaft 10. The power output shaft 12 is parallel to the power output driving shaft 10, and a plurality of power output driven gears 15 meshing with the power output driving gears 11 are provided on the power output shaft 12. An engagement seat 14 and an engagement sleeve 13 are also provided on the power output shaft 12 to achieve gear switching.
[0024] In addition, the utility model provides power to the traveling assembly through the generator and the electric motor, and the power is directly input to the power output assembly 19 through the clutch shaft 4, thereby separating the traveling and the power output assembly 19 (PTO), improving fuel economy, being more energy-efficient, and facilitating intelligent control, and effectively solving the endurance problem.
[0025] Specifically, the travel assembly includes two left and right reduction transmission assemblies 16, which are respectively connected to the left and right travel axles 18 and 17. Two corresponding motors are provided, each connected to the two reduction transmission assemblies 16. This allows the left and right travel assemblies to be controlled independently by the motors, facilitating adjustment and intelligent control, enabling flexible steering control. Furthermore, the motor technology is mature, the control system is simple, easy to adjust, and low-cost, significantly reducing the overall cost of the machine.
[0026] In addition, a power management system is included. Specifically, the power management system includes functional modules such as rectification, voltage monitoring and conversion, battery charging and discharging, and overload and overheat protection. The generator is an excitation generator. By switching the excitation current in the rotor or stator assembly 5, the generator's power generation state can be conveniently controlled. The specific principles of the excitation generator, the required excitation components, and the implementation of the various functions of the power management system are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail. The power management system is connected to the battery pack and the generator. When the power management system detects that the battery pack voltage exceeds a set value, it can control the generator's excitation signal to control whether the generator generates electricity.
[0027] Specifically, the power management system controls whether the generator generates electricity based on the battery pack voltage: when the battery pack voltage is lower than the set lower limit, the generator generates electricity to charge the battery pack; when the battery pack voltage reaches the set upper limit, the generator stops generating electricity and the generator rotor assembly rotates at no load, saving fuel consumption, greatly improving fuel economy and endurance, and being more energy-efficient.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit the technical solution. Ordinary technicians in this field should understand that those modifications or equivalent replacements of the technical solution of the present invention that do not depart from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
