[0036] As mentioned in the background section, a range extender generally refers to an electric vehicle component that can provide additional electrical energy, thereby increasing the driving range of an electric vehicle. It is usually understood as a combination of an engine and a generator. In existing range extenders, the crankshaft body 110 and the rotor shaft 120 are usually separate structures, requiring assembly processes to combine them. However, this process is difficult, inefficient, and lacks precision, and can easily have negative impacts on vehicle noise and vibration.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 The integrated crankshaft structure 100, range extender, and automobile provided in the embodiments of this utility model can solve the above problems, and will be described in detail below.

[0038] In the first aspect, the integrated crankshaft structure 100 includes an integrally formed crankshaft body 110 and a rotor shaft 120;

[0039] A flange 130 is formed at the connection between the crankshaft body 110 and the rotor shaft 120. A first weight-reducing part 121 is formed on the end face of the rotor shaft 120, and a second weight-reducing part 131 is formed on the outer side wall of the flange 130. The first weight-reducing part 121 and the second weight-reducing part 131 are offset in the circumferential direction.

[0040] The integrated crankshaft structure 100 can integrate the crankshaft body 110 and rotor shaft 120, thereby simplifying the assembly process and ensuring accuracy, while improving the noise and vibration reduction performance of the vehicle; and by setting the first weight reduction part 121 and the second weight reduction part 131 in a staggered manner, the overall structure is more compact and lightweight.

[0043] Furthermore, a connecting rib 123 can be formed between two adjacent weight-reducing holes 122, and the second weight-reducing part 131 is correspondingly provided with the connecting rib 123, thereby ensuring the overall structural strength and rigidity while achieving the weight-reduction effect.

[0044] In this embodiment, under the premise that there are six weight-reducing holes 122, the number of connecting ribs 123 is also six; when the number of weight-reducing holes 122 is adjusted, the number of connecting ribs 123 will also change adaptively, and the number of connecting ribs 123 is equal to the number of weight-reducing holes 122.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 To ensure rotational stability while meeting weight reduction requirements, the second weight-reducing part 131 may include at least two weight-reducing grooves 132 evenly arranged circumferentially, with each of the at least two weight-reducing grooves 132 being offset from the first weight-reducing part 121. Specifically, the connecting ribs 123 between the weight-reducing grooves 132 and the adjacent two weight-reducing holes 122 are correspondingly provided.

[0046] In this embodiment, there are six weight-reducing grooves 132, and the cross-section of the weight-reducing grooves 132 is rectangular. Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the number of weight-reducing grooves 132 can be two, three, five, eight, etc., and the cross-section of the weight-reducing grooves 132 can be circular, fan-shaped, triangular, elliptical, etc. The specific number and cross-sectional shape of the weight-reducing grooves 132 are not limited.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to ensure the axial balance of the integrated crankshaft structure 100, the second weight-reducing part 131 can be positioned close to the rotor shaft 120 relative to the crankshaft body 110. Specifically, one end of the weight-reducing groove 132 penetrates the end face of the flange 130 near the rotor shaft 120.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 In order to achieve the lubrication effect on the rotor shaft 120 and its adjacent components, a first oil hole 124 can be provided on the outer side wall of the rotor shaft 120.

In other embodiments of this utility model, the number of first oil holes 124 can be two, three, five, eight, etc., and the specific number of first oil holes 124 is not limited. When there are at least two first oil holes 124, at least two first oil holes 124 can be evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotor shaft 120.

[0050] Furthermore, for the purpose of convenient processing, the cross-sectional shape of the first oil hole 124 can be circular; of course, the cross-sectional shape of the first oil hole 124 can also be rectangular, triangular, fan-shaped, elliptical or other shapes.

A second oil hole 111 is opened in the main journal 117, and a third oil hole 112 is opened in the connecting journal 118. The two oil holes are connected by an oil passage, which is located inside the main journal 117, the connecting journal 118, and the shaft 119.

[0053] In this embodiment, the number of second oil holes 111 on a single main journal 117 is one, and the number of third oil holes 112 on a single connecting journal 118 is also one. In other embodiments of this utility model, the number of second oil holes 111 on a single main journal 117 can be two, three, five, eight, etc. Similarly, the number of third oil holes 112 on a single connecting journal 118 can also be two, three, five, eight, etc. The specific number of second oil holes 111 and third oil holes 112 is not limited.

[0054] Furthermore, for ease of processing, the cross-sectional shape of both the second oil hole 111 and the third oil hole 112 can be circular; of course, the cross-sectional shape of the second oil hole 111 can also be rectangular, triangular, fan-shaped, elliptical, or other shapes. Similarly, the cross-sectional shape of the third oil hole 112 can also be rectangular, triangular, fan-shaped, elliptical, or other shapes. The specific cross-sectional shape of the second oil hole 111 and the third oil hole 112 is not limited.

[0055] It is worth noting that the cross-sectional shapes of the second oil hole 111 and the third oil hole 112 can be the same or different.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 To facilitate connection with the timing signal disk, a fixing hole 114 is provided on the outer side wall of the crankshaft body 110. Specifically, the fixing hole 114 is provided on the shaft shank 119 which is relatively close to the rotor shaft 120.

In order to improve the fixing effect, the number of fixing holes 114 can be two, three, five, eight, etc., and the specific number of fixing holes 114 is not limited. The cross-sectional shape of the fixing hole 114 can also be rectangular, triangular, fan-shaped, elliptical, or other shapes, and the specific cross-sectional shape of the fixing hole 114 is not limited.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 To facilitate connection to the oil pump, a connecting square head 115 is formed on the outer wall of the crankshaft body 110 away from the rotor shaft 120. The connecting square head 115 includes a planar section and an arc section arranged alternately in sequence.
