AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When a distributed drive electric vehicle fails on one side of its drive motor, it is prone to yaw moment, causing the vehicle to yaw. Furthermore, the speed of the front and rear wheel centers is not coordinated, leading to skidding or spin, which affects the normal driving of the vehicle. Existing technologies increase system cost and size by setting up a dual-motor backup scheme.

Method used

The failure prevention device employs a first lead screw and a second lead screw. By operating the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly independently and using magnetic field and friction plate transmission, it ensures that the other assembly can provide dual-sided assistance when one drive assembly fails, thus avoiding the need for additional motor backup.

Benefits of technology

In the event of a drive component failure, the other drive component can provide dual-sided assistance to ensure normal vehicle operation, avoiding increased system cost and size.
