Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] See Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model discloses a hybrid power transmission system, including a motor 1 and a clutch 2 connected by transmission. The motor 1 includes a motor rotating assembly 11, which is part of the motor 1 and is used to connect to a transmission mechanism and output power from the motor 1 to the transmission mechanism. The clutch 2 includes a first friction disc assembly 21 and a second friction disc assembly 22 for clutch engagement and disengagement, and a pressure plate assembly 23 for driving the first friction disc assembly 21 to engage and disengage the second friction disc assembly 22. The motor rotating assembly 11 is provided with a mounting portion 111, and the pressure plate assembly 23 is disposed on the mounting portion 111, thereby the motor rotating assembly 11 forms a support for the pressure plate assembly 23.

[0024] This invention mounts the pressure plate assembly 23 of the clutch 2 onto the motor rotating assembly 11, making the motor rotating assembly 11 a support for the pressure plate assembly 23. The motor rotating assembly 11 can serve as both a power output component of the motor 1 and a part of the clutch 2, allowing the motor 1 and clutch 2 to share parts. The drive shaft of the motor rotating assembly 11 can both transmit the power of the motor 1 and serve as a support for the pressure plate assembly 23, making the structure of the hybrid power transmission system simpler, simplifying its power transmission process, and improving transmission efficiency.

[0025] The motor rotation assembly 11 also includes a motor rotor 112 and a drive shaft 113 fixed relative to the mounting part 111. The motor rotor 112 is used to output the power of the motor 1, and the drive shaft 113 is used to connect to the speed change mechanism (not shown in the figure) and to output the rotation of the motor rotor 112 to the speed change mechanism. The mounting part 111 is a rotating shaft structure, and the pressure plate assembly 23 is synchronously mounted on the rotating shaft structure, so that the pressure plate assembly 23 and the motor rotor 112 both rotate synchronously with the drive shaft 113 as the rotating shaft. In this embodiment, the mounting part 111 is provided on a connector 101. The area of ​​the connector 101 near the motor rotor 112 is provided with a connecting hole. The connector 101 and the motor rotor 112 are connected relatively fixedly by bolts passing through the connecting hole. The connector 101 also includes a first connecting part 114 and a pressure plate drive part 115, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the mounting part 111 and extend radially along the mounting part 111, that is, the mounting part 111, the first connecting part 114 and the pressure plate drive part 115 are integrally connected.

[0026] The pressure plate assembly 23 includes a movable plate 231, which is sleeved on the mounting portion 111 in such a way that it slides relative to the mounting portion 111 along the axial direction and rotates synchronously with the mounting portion 111. The pressure plate drive portion 115 is disposed on one side of the movable plate 231. The pressure plate drive portion 115 and the movable plate 231 are connected and form a pressure plate drive cavity 201 between them. More specifically, the movable plate 231 is connected to the mounting portion 111 and the pressure plate drive portion 115 respectively, and a seal is provided between the movable plate 231 and the mounting portion 111 and between the movable plate 231 and the pressure plate drive portion 115 respectively, so that the space between the movable plate 231, the mounting portion 111 and the pressure plate drive portion 115 forms the pressure plate drive cavity 201. The pressure plate drive chamber 201 is used to introduce liquid, and the movable plate 231 is used to move towards the direction of the first friction plate assembly 21 under the hydraulic action of the liquid in the pressure plate drive chamber 201, thereby pushing the first friction plate assembly 21 to engage with the second friction plate assembly 22, forming the transmission engagement of the clutch, and transmitting the power of the motor 1 to the shaft of the second friction plate assembly 22.

[0027] The pressure plate assembly 23 also includes a fixed plate 232 disposed on the side of the movable plate 231 away from the pressure plate drive part 115. The fixed plate 232 is fixedly sleeved on the mounting part 111. A pressure plate reset cavity 202 is formed between the fixed plate 232 and the movable plate 231. The pressure plate reset cavity 202 is used to introduce liquid. The movable plate 231 is used to move in the direction away from the first friction plate assembly 21 under the hydraulic action of the liquid in the pressure plate reset cavity 202, thereby pushing the first friction plate assembly 21 to reset.

[0028] Furthermore, the fluid supplied to the pressure plate drive chamber 201 and the pressure plate reset chamber 202 is hydraulic oil from the hydraulic system, and the movable plate 231 is controlled to move by the hydraulic system. The principle by which the hydraulic system controls the movement of the pressure plate assembly 23 is existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0029] The pressure plate reset chamber 202 is equipped with an elastic reset element 233. The elastic reset element 233 and the liquid in the pressure plate reset chamber 202 work together to drive the movable plate 231 to reset. The elastic reset element 233 in the pressure plate reset chamber 202 enables the movable plate 231 to reset more quickly, thus accelerating the response speed of the clutch 2. In this embodiment, the elastic reset element 233 is a spring, and multiple springs are provided, spaced apart along the circumference of the mounting portion 111.

[0030] The mounting part 111 is a hollow rotating shaft structure, with the pressure plate assembly 23 mounted on its outer side. The mounting part 111 has liquid channels 110 that connect to the pressure plate drive cavity 201 and the pressure plate reset cavity 202 respectively. A first connecting part 114 is located on the inner side of one end of the mounting part 111 and extends radially therein. One end of the drive shaft 113 has a second connecting part 116 that extends radially thereout. The first connecting part 114 and the second connecting part 116 are fixedly connected (e.g., welded) so that the inner side of the mounting part 111 and the outer side of the drive shaft 113 form a cavity 117. This cavity 117 can be used to install at least a portion of the liquid pipeline. The liquid channels 110 are also connected to the liquid pipeline. Here, the liquid pipeline refers to the pipeline of the hydraulic system. There are two liquid channels 110, one connected to the pressure plate drive cavity 201 and the other connected to the pressure plate reset cavity 202. The hydraulic oil of the hydraulic system enters the pressure plate drive cavity 201 or the pressure plate reset cavity 202 through the liquid pipeline and the liquid channel 110.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the hybrid powertrain system also includes an end cap 12 disposed at one end of the motor rotating assembly 11. The end cap 12 has a liquid pipeline inside, and a portion of the end cap 12 extends into the cavity 117, thereby allowing a portion of the liquid pipeline to extend into the cavity 117 and communicate with the liquid channel 110. In this embodiment, the liquid pipeline of the end cap 12 is connected to the hose of the hydraulic system, so that hydraulic oil enters the pressure plate drive cavity 201 or the pressure plate reset cavity 202 through the liquid pipeline and the liquid channel 110.

[0032] In other embodiments, the liquid pipeline can be arranged in other forms, such as a flexible hose directly inserted into the liquid channel 110 of the mounting part 11.

[0033] The motor rotor 112 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The first friction disc assembly 21 is synchronously rotatably connected to the inner side of the motor rotor 112, so the motor rotating assembly 11 also forms a support for the first friction disc assembly 21. Specifically, the first friction disc assembly 21 and the motor rotor 112 are synchronously rotatably connected through a gear transmission structure. Under the action of the pressure plate assembly 23, the first friction disc assembly 21 can move along the axial direction of the motor rotor 112 to approach or move away from the second friction disc assembly 22, thereby realizing the clutch 2's engagement and disengagement transmission.

[0034] The working process of this utility model includes:

[0035] When the first friction disc assembly 21 and the second friction disc assembly 22 of the clutch 2 are disengaged, the motor 1 drives the motor rotating assembly 11 to rotate. At this time, the first friction disc assembly 21 and the pressure plate assembly 23 of the clutch 2 rotate synchronously with the motor rotating assembly 11. The power of the motor 1 is output to the transmission mechanism only through the transmission shaft 113 of the motor rotating assembly 11.

[0036] When the pressure in the pressure plate drive chamber 201 is greater than the pressure in the pressure plate reset chamber 202, the pressure plate assembly 23 pushes the first friction plate assembly 21 to move and engage with the second friction plate assembly 22. The motor rotation assembly 11 of the motor 1 and the clutch 2 rotate synchronously. The power of the motor 1 is transmitted to the bracket of the second friction plate assembly 22 through the first friction plate assembly 21 and the second friction plate assembly 22, making the power output mode of the motor 1 more diverse. For example, by means of the cooperation of the clutch 2 and the transmission mechanism, the power of the motor 1 is coupled with the power of the engine to output greater power.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] This utility model also discloses a hybrid electric vehicle, including the hybrid powertrain system disclosed in Embodiment 1. The structure and principle of the hybrid powertrain system have been described in detail in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0039] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the remaining undescribed parts are prior art, and that all changes in form and detail made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
