[0022] 3, the transmission system is a two-gear three-stage reduction mechanism, wherein, the first-stage parallel shaft meshing gear pair is arranged on one side to offset the high-speed drive motor, so as to leave more space for the arrangement of the suspension lower swing arm, to ensure that the high-speed drive motor does not interfere when the downstroke of the automobile suspension reaches the maximum, and to ensure that the vehicle center faces 80% of the ground clearance requirement on the other side. On the other hand, the speed ratio of the second-stage high-speed gear meshing gear pair is small, that is, the diameter of the second-stage high-speed gear driving gear is large, and the drive motor is a high-speed drive motor. If the second-stage high-speed gear driving gear is directly connected with the drive motor, a large dynamic load will be generated, so the first-stage parallel shaft meshing gear pair is arranged to reduce the rotational speed of the drive motor, and greatly reduce the dynamic load impact degree caused by the high rotational speed of the drive motor on the second-stage high-speed gear driving gear.

[0023] 4, the shift drive form is electric control and electric drive, the precision and controllability of shifting can be ensured, the shifting fork and the shifting lever are in contact with each other, and transmission is realized by means of a ball screw pair, compared with trapezoidal or rectangular thread transmission, the ball screw pair can greatly reduce the wear caused by thread transmission, the ball screw pair has higher transmission efficiency, and has higher margin for rotational speed.

[0026] 7, due to the influence of the meshing gap between the transition flange plate and the outer planet carrier, the hexagonal flange nut is loose, the connection spline type between the transition flange plate and the outer planet carrier is set as a tapered spline, and the problem that the connection nut is loose due to the influence of the spline meshing gap is effectively solved.

In addition, during the climbing process of the vehicle, the center of gravity moves backward, the axle load of the front axle is lower than that of the rear axle, so the two-gear hub integrated electric drive wheel set is arranged on the rear axle, and is switched to the low-speed gear large-speed-ratio mode, so as to ensure that the rear axle has enough driving force under the condition of large ground adhesion during the climbing process. This mode can fully utilize the advantage that the rear axle has large ground adhesion when the center of gravity of the vehicle moves during climbing, and meets the demand of the vehicle for large climbing degree.

[0042] Example 1: A synchronizer-free dual-speed hub integrated electric drive wheel set

[0043] As shown in Figures 1-9 A synchronizer-free dual-speed hub integrated electric drive wheel set, comprising a drive motor 1, a front-end housing 5, a middle-section housing 6, a rear-end housing 7, a parallel-shaft reduction mechanism 101, a planetary gear train reduction mechanism 102, a gear shifting drive mechanism 201, a transition flange plate 21 and a rim 27.

[0044] The drive motor 1 and the front-end housing 5 are located outside the rim 27, and the drive motor 1 and the front-end housing 5 are in an integrated structure. One end of the middle-section housing 6 is connected to the front-end housing 5, and the other end penetrates through the rim 27 and is connected to the rear-end housing 7. Toe openings are provided at the connection positions of adjacent two housings to ensure the transmission accuracy of the coaxial arrangement of the transmission mechanism. The output shaft of the drive motor 1 is connected to the input shaft of the parallel-shaft reduction mechanism. The output power of the drive motor 1 is transmitted to the wheel in sequence through the parallel-shaft reduction mechanism 101, the planetary gear train reduction mechanism 102, the transition flange plate 21 and the rim 27.

[0045] The parallel axis reduction mechanism 101 comprises a primary parallel axis meshing gear pair, a secondary high-speed gear meshing pair and a secondary low-speed gear meshing pair, and the main components are a high-speed gear shaft 8, an intermediate gear shaft 9, a spline hub 10, a high-speed gear driven gear 11 and a low-speed gear driven gear 12. The high-speed gear shaft 8 is connected with the output shaft of the driving motor 1 through spline connection and is provided with a primary high-speed driving gear. The intermediate gear shaft 9 is sequentially provided with a primary reduction driven gear, a secondary high-speed gear driving gear and a secondary low-speed gear driving gear, respectively. The primary reduction driven gear, the secondary high-speed gear driving gear and the secondary low-speed gear driving gear are all fixed on the intermediate gear shaft 9. The primary high-speed driving gear and the primary reduction driven gear constitute the primary parallel axis meshing gear pair. The secondary high-speed gear driving gear and the high-speed gear driven gear 11 constitute the secondary high-speed gear meshing pair. The secondary low-speed gear driving gear and the low-speed gear driven gear 12 constitute the secondary low-speed gear meshing pair. Since the speed ratio of the secondary high-speed gear meshing pair is small, that is, the diameter of the secondary high-speed gear driving gear is large, and the driving motor 1 is a high-speed driving motor, if the secondary high-speed gear driving gear is directly connected with the driving motor 1, a large dynamic load will be generated. Therefore, the primary parallel axis meshing gear pair is arranged to reduce the rotating speed of the driving motor 1 and greatly reduce the dynamic load impact of the high rotating speed of the driving motor 1 on the secondary high-speed gear driving gear.

[0046] The high-speed gear driven gear 11 and the low-speed gear driven gear 12 are both sleeved on the spline hub 10 through needle bearings or sliding bearings. The spline hub 10 is provided with a spline at the middle position and is provided with shaft shoulders at both ends of the spline. One end of the high-speed gear driven gear 11 and the low-speed gear driven gear 12 is axially limited by the shaft shoulders at both ends of the spline, and the other end is axially limited on the spline hub 10 through the combination of a snap spring and a snap spring washer. One side of the snap spring washer is provided with an oil guide groove which directly contacts with the high-speed gear driven gear 11 and the low-speed gear driven gear 12 and can reduce the abrasion. The other side of the snap spring washer contacts with the snap spring. The snap spring washer and the spline hub are circumferentially fixed through a key to avoid the abrasion problem caused by the rotation of the snap spring washer and the snap spring. The high-speed gear shaft 8, the intermediate gear shaft 9 and the spline hub 10 are arranged between the front end shell 5 and the middle shell 6 and are supported by deep groove ball bearings.

[0047] The planetary gear train reduction mechanism 102 comprises a sun gear shaft 16, a planetary gear 17, a planetary gear shaft 18, a ring gear 28, an inner planet carrier 19, and an outer planet carrier 20. The sun gear shaft 16 is provided with an external spline on one side, which is engaged with an internal spline of the spline hub 10. The outer ring is engaged with the planetary gear 17. The planetary gear 17 is hollowed on the planetary shaft by a needle bearing and rotates relative to the planetary shaft. The inner planet carrier 19 and the outer planet carrier 20 are both provided with holes matched with the planetary gear shaft 18. The two ends of the planetary gear shaft 18 are supported in the matched holes of the outer planet carrier 20 and the inner planet carrier 19 by interference and clearance fit. The inner planet carrier 19 and the outer planet carrier 20 are supported on the middle section housing 6 and the rear end housing 7 by tapered roller bearings, respectively. In addition, in order to reduce the wear between the sun gear shaft 16 and the planetary gear 17 and the inner planet carrier 19 and the outer planet carrier 20 during the meshing movement, a high-hardness gasket after heat treatment is arranged between the sun gear shaft 16, the planetary gear 17, and the inner planet carrier 19 and the outer planet carrier 20.

[0048] The shift driving mechanism 201 comprises a shift engagement sleeve 13, a shift fork 14, a shift lever 15, and a shift motor 2. The shift engagement sleeve 13 is provided with an internal spline, which is engaged with an external spline of the spline hub 10. The high-speed gear driven gear 11 and the low-speed gear driven gear 12 are both provided with engagement teeth connected with the shift engagement sleeve. When the internal spline of the shift engagement sleeve 13 is simultaneously engaged with the high-speed gear driven gear engagement teeth and the external spline of the spline hub 10, the power flow is the driving motor 1, the high-speed gear shaft 8, the intermediate gear shaft 9, the high-speed gear driven gear 11, the shift engagement sleeve 13, the spline hub 10, the planetary gear train reduction mechanism 201, the transition flange plate 21, and the rim 27, which is the high-speed gear. When the internal spline of the shift engagement sleeve 13 is simultaneously engaged with the low-speed gear driven gear 12 engagement teeth and the external spline of the spline hub 10, the power flow is the driving motor 1, the high-speed gear shaft 8, the intermediate gear shaft 9, the low-speed gear driven gear 12, the shift engagement sleeve 13, the spline hub 10, the planetary gear train reduction mechanism 201, the transition flange plate 21, and the rim 27, which is the low-speed gear. When the internal spline of the shift engagement sleeve 13 is only engaged with the external spline of the spline hub 10, and the high-speed gear driven gear 11 engagement teeth and the low-speed gear driven gear 12 engagement teeth are both separated, it is the neutral position.

[0049] The shift fork 14 is clamped in the groove on the outer surface of the shift sleeve 13, the shift fork 14 and the shift rod 15 are provided with a ball screw pair at the contact position to realize transmission, the shift rod 15 is supported on the middle shell 6 through two angular contact ball bearings and is axially limited by the snap spring on the two angular contact ball bearings, thereby limiting the axial displacement of the shift rod 15. The shift rod 15 is connected with the shift motor 2 at the contact position through a flat key, the output power of the shift motor 2 is transmitted to the ball screw pair position through the shift rod, the power drives the shift rod 15 to rotate under the action of the two angular contact ball bearings, and then at the matching position of the shift rod 15 and the shift fork 14, the shift fork 14 is driven to move axially relative to the shift rod 15 by the force between the ball screw pairs, thereby driving the reciprocating axial movement of the shift sleeve 13. The shift motor 2 and the drive motor 1 are arranged on the same side and are connected with the front end shell 5, so that the shift motor 2 and the drive motor 1 are coaxially arranged, which can fully improve the axial space utilization rate of the electric drive wheel set and make the overall structure more compact.

[0050] The electric drive wheel set can also realize a shift process control strategy, because the shift motor 2 is a direct current brushless motor that can realize controlled angular displacement, the rotation angle of the shift motor can be accurately controlled, and then the relative position relationship between the shift fork 14 and the shift rod 15 can be accurately controlled. When the electric drive wheel set is switched from high speed gear to low speed gear, the vehicle controller VCU sends a shift signal to the driver of the shift motor, the driver of the shift motor drives the shift motor 2 to rotate after receiving the signal, the shift fork is driven to move axially by the ball screw pair between the shift rod 15 and the shift fork 14, and then the shift sleeve 13 is pushed out of the high speed gear driven gear 11 to enter the neutral position. At this time, the rotation speed of the shift sleeve 13 is consistent with the rotation speed of the spline hub 10, and there is a speed difference between the rotation speed of the low speed gear driven gear, therefore, the motor controller MCU needs to adjust the speed of the drive motor 1, so that the rotation speed of the low speed gear driven gear 12 is basically consistent with the rotation speed of the shift sleeve 13, then the shift motor 2 rotates again, the shift sleeve 13 is axially moved by the shift fork 14, so that the inner spline of the shift sleeve 13 and the engagement tooth of the low speed gear driven gear 12 are smoothly engaged, thereby realizing the smooth switching of the electric drive wheel set from high speed gear to low speed gear. By adjusting the speed of the drive motor in the neutral position, the advantages of the wheel motor are utilized to realize smooth shifting, replacing the function of the synchronizer in the transmission shift mechanism. When the electric drive wheel set is switched from low speed gear to high speed gear, the working mode is consistent with the above-mentioned working mode of switching from high speed gear to low speed gear.

[0051] Specifically, to prevent the vehicle from slipping out of gear during driving, the engagement teeth of the high-speed driven gear 11 and the low-speed driven gear 12 are machined into an inverted conical shape, and the shift motor 2 is configured to have a brake function.

[0052] Specifically, oil sealing devices are provided between the front housing 5 and the high-speed gear shaft 8, between the middle housing 6 and the shift lever 15, and between the rear housing 7 and the outer planetary carrier 20; the middle housing 6 is provided with a vent plug.

[0053] Specifically, the transition flange 21 and the outer planetary carrier 20 are connected by a spline, secured by a double-ended stud 22 and a hexagonal flange nut 23. To prevent the hexagonal flange nut 23 from loosening due to the interlocking gap between the inner and outer splines of the transition flange 21 and the outer planetary carrier 20 during forward and reverse rotation, the spline type connecting the transition flange 21 and the outer planetary carrier 20 is set to a tapered spline to solve the problem of the hexagonal flange nut 23 loosening.
