Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle technology, and more specifically to a dual-motor electric drive assembly system for pure electric vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most electric vehicle powertrains use a drive motor + single-stage reducer structure. This structure is simple, but the speed ratio of the main reducer has a significant impact on the performance of the electric vehicle, making it impossible to simultaneously meet the performance requirements of top speed and acceleration from a standstill. Therefore, to meet design requirements, it is necessary to increase the peak torque and maximum speed of the drive motor, which increases the drive motor power. However, choosing a higher-power motor means that during daily driving, the drive motor often operates in a low-efficiency range, reducing the overall vehicle economy and increasing the cost of the drive motor.

[0003] To address this issue, existing electric drive systems in pure electric vehicles often employ two- or even multi-speed reduction mechanisms in their transmission systems. These systems also require complex shifting mechanisms and motor control units, resulting in complex transmission system structures, high costs, and significant technical challenges. Furthermore, the complexity of the transmission system places higher demands on the motor's performance, and the motor cannot operate within its optimal efficiency range. Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dual-motor electric drive assembly system for pure electric vehicles, which solves the problem that the existing electric drive systems of pure electric vehicles mostly use two- or even multi-speed reduction mechanisms in their transmission systems, and also require complex shifting and motor control units, resulting in complex transmission system structures, high costs, and high technical difficulties. In addition, under the complex transmission system structure, the performance requirements of the motor are also higher, and the motor cannot operate in the optimal working efficiency range.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dual-motor electric drive assembly system for pure electric vehicles, comprising: a power drive system, the power drive system including a main drive unit, a planetary gear differential assembly, and a power disengagement mechanism; the main drive unit and the auxiliary drive unit respectively transmit power to the planetary gear differential assembly through the main drive motor and the auxiliary drive motor, and finally output to the wheel half-shaft; the output end of the main drive motor is provided with a main drive rotor shaft, and the side of the main drive rotor shaft is provided with a main drive input gear; the auxiliary drive unit can switch between two working modes: engaged and disengaged; the power drive system has a first power mode and a second power mode; in the first power mode, power output is achieved by the main drive unit alone; in the second power mode, power output is achieved by the simultaneous coupling of the main drive unit and the auxiliary drive unit.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary drive unit is provided with a power disengagement mechanism, and the side of the power disengagement mechanism is provided with an auxiliary drive gear shaft and connected thereto, while the other side is connected to the auxiliary drive rotor shaft.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the auxiliary drive gear shaft adopts a double helical gear or double spur gear structure.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the main drive input gear and the main drive rotor shaft on the main drive unit are designed as an integral shaft.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the planetary gear differential assembly includes an output gear, a planet carrier, a large sun gear, a small sun gear, a long planet gear, a short planet gear, and fastening bolts.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the output gear is fixed to the planetary carrier by fastening bolts.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the short planetary gear meshes with both the long planetary gear and the small sun gear, while the long planetary gear meshes directly with the large sun gear.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the output gear adopts a double helical gear or double spur gear structure.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This utility model's dual-motor electric drive system has a simple and compact structure and a simple control logic. When the vehicle starts and begins to drive, both motors start simultaneously, thereby improving the vehicle's acceleration and hill-climbing performance. When the vehicle speed is high and the vehicle system does not require greater power, the power disengagement mechanism is in a disengaged state, the auxiliary drive motor's power is interrupted and it stops working, and the vehicle is powered by the main drive motor, thereby reducing the vehicle's energy consumption. In pure electric vehicle operation, the drive motor can be kept in a high-efficiency range as much as possible, improving the overall vehicle power performance while reducing overall vehicle energy consumption, thus improving the vehicle's range, power, and economy, and significantly reducing the overall vehicle cost. The main drive motor's main drive rotor shaft and main drive input gear are integrated into one shaft, and the auxiliary drive motor's auxiliary drive rotor shaft and auxiliary drive gear shaft are equipped with a power disengagement mechanism. The main drive input gear, as well as the auxiliary drive gear shaft and output gear, mesh simultaneously. The planetary gear differential assembly includes a long planetary gear, a large sun gear, short planetary gears, a small sun gear, a planet carrier, an output gear, and fastening bolts. The long planetary gear and the short planetary gear mesh with the large sun gear simultaneously; the aforementioned short planetary gear meshes with the small sun gear simultaneously. The long planetary gears and short planetary gears can rotate relative to the planetary carrier. The output gear is fixed to the planetary carrier by fastening bolts. The half-shafts are connected to the large sun gear and the small sun gear respectively. The power input obtained through the output gears is balanced by the torque between the long planetary gears and the short planetary gears, and the torque is distributed to the half-shafts to realize the differential speed and differential torque function of the left and right wheels of the vehicle.
