[0061] In the embodiment of the utility model, the first sleeve segment 61 and the second sleeve segment 62 are arranged along the first direction, and the first direction is the direction in which the second end of the half shaft 2 points to the first end;

[0062] The outer side of the first sleeve segment 61 has the first external spline and the second external spline which are arranged in sequence and at intervals along the first direction, and the outer side of the second sleeve segment 62 has the third external spline, the fourth external spline and the fifth external spline which are arranged in sequence and at intervals along the first direction;

[0072] In the embodiment of the utility model, the first ring gear 43 and the electric drive axle housing can be connected through a bearing, realizing that the first ring gear 43 can rotate around the half shaft 2 relative to the electric ring axle housing.

[0073] In the embodiment of the utility model, as shown in Figure 3 The motor 3 can be sleeved on the outside of the planetary gear of the shift planetary gear set 4, that is, the stator, rotor and output shaft 31 of the motor 3 are sleeved on the outside of the planetary gear of the shift planetary gear set 4, which can make the structure of the drive assembly more compact, reduce the size of the electric drive axle assembly in the axial direction, reduce the arrangement difficulty and improve the power density.

[0077] In the embodiment of the utility model, as shown in Figure 8 The reducer 5 can further include a second reduction planetary gear set 52 sleeved on the outside of the half shaft 2, and the first reduction planetary gear set 51 is connected with the differential 1 housing through the second reduction planetary gear set 52, as shown in Figure 8As shown; the second reduction planetary gear set 52 includes a third sun gear, a third planet carrier and a third ring gear.

[0079] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second ends of the two half-shafts 2 can be connected to the wheels on the left and right sides of the coaxial electric drive axle structure through two wheel-side planetary gear sets 8.

[0080] In the aforementioned coaxial electric drive axle structure, the differential 1 distributes torque to the fourth sun gear of the wheel-side planetary gear set 8 at both ends of the electric drive axle. The fourth ring gear of the wheel-side planetary gear set 8 is fixed, and the fourth planet carrier outputs torque, enabling the transmission of torque to the wheels. Placing the wheel-side planetary gear set 8, which is used for deceleration, next to the wheels reduces the number of parts in the drive assembly in the middle of the electric drive axle structure, reduces the axial dimension of the drive assembly, and makes the structure more compact.

[0081] This utility model also provides a vehicle, including any of the coaxial electric drive axle structures provided in the above technical solutions.

[0082] In this embodiment of the utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the coaxial electric drive bridge can include two sets of drive components, i.e., a dual-motor layout for driving; or it can include one set of drive components, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, a single-motor layout is used for driving.

[0083] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the coaxial electric drive bridge adopts a dual-motor layout, it can include motor A and motor B; Figure 1 The specific working process of a vehicle with a coaxial electric drive axle structure can be summarized as follows:

[0084] After power is applied and the vehicle is started, motors A and B can be simultaneously engaged in first gear (the shift sleeve in the two drive components is in the first gear position), and the vehicle starts moving.

[0085] When the vehicle speed reaches the 2-gear shifting speed, motor A is engaged to neutral (in the drive assembly where motor A is located, the shift sleeve is between the first gear position and the second gear position), and is regulated to the 2-gear motor speed, and then is engaged to 2-gear (in the drive assembly where motor A is located, the shift sleeve is in the second gear position).

[0086] When the vehicle speed reaches the 3-gear shifting speed, motor A is engaged to neutral (in the drive assembly where motor A is located, the shift sleeve is between the second gear position and the third gear position), and is regulated to the 3-gear motor speed, and then is engaged to 3-gear (in the drive assembly where motor A is located, the shift sleeve is in the third gear position).

[0087] When the vehicle is in the cruise control state, and the motor torque is lower than threshold 1, motor A and motor B are simultaneously engaged to neutral, the vehicle is in neutral sliding, and the electric consumption is reduced.

[0088] When the brake pedal is depressed, no matter what gear the motor is in, the two motors are simultaneously engaged to 3-gear, and kinetic energy recovery is performed.

[0089] In the embodiment of the utility model, when the coaxial electric drive bridge adopts the double-motor layout, the double motors are shifted in turn, and the functions of uninterrupted power, neutral sliding, brake kinetic energy recovery, and reduced electric consumption can be realized.

[0090] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the embodiments of the utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the utility model fall within the scope of the claims of the utility model and the equivalent technology, the utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
