[0033] [First Embodiment]
[0034] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a braking system provided in the first embodiment of this utility model. The system includes a drive motor 1, and the output end of the drive motor 1 is connected to a transmission device 3 through an input shaft 2. In this embodiment, two drive motors 1 are provided and are located on the same side of the transmission device 3. The drive motor 1 includes a first motor EM1 and a second motor EM2. The first motor can work independently or the first motor and the second motor can work simultaneously, thereby enabling the first motor EM1 to output power to the transmission device 3 independently, or the first motor EM1 and the second motor EM2 to output power to the transmission device 3 together. In this embodiment, the dual motors are preferably high-speed motors.
[0035] like Figure 1As shown, the transmission device 3 in this embodiment is a dual intermediate shaft high torque transmission, and the output ends of the dual intermediate shafts are coupled through a coupling gear pair 6. The coupling gear pair 6 is located in front of the output end OUT of the transmission device 3, so that when the first motor and the second motor work together, the power is output from the output end OUT of the transmission device 3 after the power is combined through the coupling gear pair 6. At the same time, when braking the output power of the first motor, the output power of the second motor can also be braked through the coupling gear pair 6. Those skilled in the art should know that, depending on the actual application, the transmission device 3 can also be selected from other types of transmissions that include dual motors.
[0036] The key improvement of this embodiment compared to the prior art is that an auxiliary braking device 5 is also provided between the drive motor 1 and the transmission device 3. In this embodiment, the auxiliary braking device 5 is a hydraulic retarder. By adopting a front-mounted structure for the hydraulic retarder, space is left for the output end of the transmission device, thus solving the problem of limited installation space for the power take-off, emergency pump, etc.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the output end of the auxiliary braking device 5 is connected to the input shaft 2 through the brake gear pair 4, and is directly connected to the input shaft of the transmission device through the hydraulic retarder, resulting in higher braking efficiency and faster braking feedback.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the brake gear pair 4 in this embodiment includes a brake drive gear 41 fixedly connected to the output end of the auxiliary braking device 5, and a brake driven gear 42 fixedly connected to the input shaft 2. The brake drive gear 41 and the brake driven gear 42 mesh with each other. When encountering situations such as long downhill slopes where the hydraulic retarder needs to intervene, the auxiliary braking device 5 starts to work. Through the corresponding meshing brake drive gear 41 and brake driven gear 42, the kinetic energy of the input shaft 2 is absorbed, and the input shaft 2 is braked slowly, directly cutting off the power source of the gearbox 3.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the auxiliary braking device 5 and the drive motor 1 are located on the same side of the transmission device 3, and the auxiliary braking device 5 is connected in parallel with the input shaft 2, so that the overall axial dimension is not increased, which is beneficial to the overall vehicle layout.
[0040] Meanwhile, the auxiliary braking device 5 is located between the two drive motors 1, so that the overall radial dimension is not increased, which is beneficial to the overall vehicle layout.
[0041] Since the output ends of the dual intermediate shafts of the transmission device 3 in this embodiment are coupled through the coupling gear pair 6, the auxiliary braking device 5 in this embodiment is only connected to the input shaft 2 close to the first motor. In this way, whether the two motors work at the same time or only the first motor 1 works alone, the transmission 3 can be slow-speed braked.
[0042] The specific working process of this embodiment is as follows:
[0043] When the first motor EM1 outputs power alone, or when the first motor EM1 and the second motor EM2 jointly output power to drive the transmission device 3, when encountering situations such as long downhill slopes that require the intervention of the auxiliary braking device 5, the auxiliary braking device 5 starts to work, absorbs the kinetic energy of the input shaft 2, and performs slow braking on the input shaft 2, directly cutting off the power source of the transmission device 3. In this way, whether both motors work at the same time or only the first motor EM1 works alone, the transmission device 3 can be slow braked.
[0044] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
