[0034] A shifting method for a dual-motor electric power system includes five gears, wherein

[0035] In the first gear, the first shift fork protrusion 18 is located in the first gear section 25 at an end away from the second gear section 26, and the second shift fork protrusion 19 is located in the fifth gear section 29. At this time, when the first shift fork 12 shifts the first clutch 11, the first driven gear 7 is connected to the intermediate shaft 6, and the second driven gear 8 and the third driven gear 9 are in neutral and rotationally connected to the intermediate shaft 6. That is, the vehicle is driven only by the first motor and is applied to low-speed driving and reverse driving;

[0036] In the second gear, the first shift fork protrusion 18 is located in the first gear section 25 near the end of the second gear section 26, and the second shift fork protrusion 19 moves to the end of the fourth gear section 28 near the fifth gear section 29. At this time, the first driven gear 7 is still connected to the intermediate shaft 6, and the second driven gear 8 is connected to the intermediate shaft 6 through the second clutch 13. The third driven gear 9 is still in neutral, that is, the first motor and the second motor drive the vehicle simultaneously, which is used for starting, accelerating at medium and low speeds, and climbing at medium and low speeds;

[0037] In the third gear, the first shift fork protrusion 18 moves to the second gear section 26, and the second shift fork protrusion 19 is located in the middle position of the fourth gear section 28. At this time, the first driven gear 7 and the third driven gear 9 are both in neutral and rotationally connected to the intermediate shaft 6, while the second driven gear 8 is still connected to the intermediate shaft 6. That is, the second motor drives the vehicle, which is used for normal driving at medium speed;

[0038] In the fourth gear, the first shift fork protrusion 18 moves to the end of the third gear section 27 near the second gear section 26, and the second shift fork protrusion 19 moves to the other end of the fourth gear section 28 near the fifth gear section 29. At this time, the first driven gear 7 is in neutral, the third driven gear 9 is connected to the intermediate shaft 6, and the second driven gear 8 is still connected to the intermediate shaft 6. That is, the first motor and the second motor drive the vehicle simultaneously, which is used for acceleration and climbing at medium and high speeds;

[0039] In the fifth gear, the first shift fork protrusion 18 moves to the end of the third gear segment 27 away from the second gear segment 26, and the second shift fork protrusion 19 moves to the fifth gear segment 29. At this time, the first driven gear 7 is still in neutral, the third driven gear 9 is still connected to the intermediate shaft 6, and the second driven gear 8 is connected to the intermediate shaft 6, that is, the first motor drives the vehicle, which is used for normal driving at medium and high speeds.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, for ease of understanding, the first drive motor 1 is marked as B, the second drive motor 2 is marked as A, the first drive gear 3 is driven as 1st, the second drive gear 5 is driven as 2nd, the third drive gear 4 is driven as 3rd, and the neutral gear is N. The five gears are

[0041] First gear: A: N+B: 1st;

[0042] Second gear: A: 2nd + B: 1st;

[0043] Third gear: A: 2nd + B: N;

[0044] Fourth gear: A: 2nd + B: 3rd;

[0045] Fifth gear: A: N+B: 3rd;

[0046] The relationship curve between the output power (N) and vehicle speed (km / h) at each gear is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the relationship curve between the power (N) output by the three driving gears at the same efficiency and the vehicle speed (km / h) is also as shown Figure 1 shown.

[0047] In this embodiment, preferably, the low speed region is 0 to 40 km / h, the medium speed region is 40 to 80 km / h, and the high speed region is above 80 km / h.

[0048] In this embodiment, preferably, the speed ratio between the first driving gear 3 and the first driven gear 7 is 16.4, the speed ratio between the second driving gear 5 and the second driven gear 8 is 9.7, and the speed ratio between the third driving gear 4 and the third driven gear 9 is 6.7.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, taking the motor output of 100kw and the reduction ratio of 9.7 as an example, it can be seen that in normal driving conditions, the motor efficiency area of ​​more than 90% is used only when accelerating at a high speed of more than 100km / h. In other conditions, the area with efficiency below 90% is used. That is, in the driving conditions of medium and low speeds and below, the motor is in a power-consuming state.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, two 50kW (half the power of a single motor) are used in this embodiment. It can be seen that in the entire normal driving state, nearly half of the area with an efficiency of more than 90% is used, and at 80km / h, the area with an efficiency of more than 90% has begun to be used. Therefore, compared with a single motor and a single transmission, the total power consumption of the two motors can be saved by about 5%. That is, this embodiment has more than two drive motors and independent transmissions and performs independent control, which can optimize electricity consumption and become a more ideal power unit for pure electric vehicles.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
