Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of power transmission, and particularly relates to a driving system and a car. BACKGROUND
[0002] The power system of a hybrid electric vehicle mainly comprises three basic forms of series connection, parallel connection and series-parallel connection. In the series connection form, the engine and the output shaft are not mechanically connected, and optimal control of the rotation speed or torque can be realized, but all the energy needs to be converted between mechanical power and electric power twice before being transmitted to the output shaft, and the loss is large. The parallel connection has high transmission efficiency, but the engine and the output shaft are mechanically connected, and the engine cannot be ensured to be always in an optimal working area, and is usually used for medium and high speeds. The series-parallel connection couples the series connection and the parallel connection, and combines the advantages of the series connection and the parallel connection, and can realize optimal control of the engine and high-efficiency control at medium and high speeds.
[0003] At present, the series-parallel coupling power system is single-gear, and the entire power system only has a fixed speed ratio, and the vehicle cannot be always operated in an optimal mode. For example, the optimal mode at high speed should be the engine direct drive or parallel drive mode, and since the power system has only a single gear, the engine and the driving motor cannot be ensured to work in the high-efficiency area for a long time when the engine is directly driven or driven in parallel, so that the power performance and the economy of the vehicle are limited.

The first power source can be an engine 20, and both the second and third power sources are electric motors. The second power source can be a first motor 31, and the third power source can be a second motor 32. The first input shaft 110 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other.

[0073] It should be noted that the transmission ratios of the first transmission assembly 210 and the second transmission assembly 220 are different, and the transmission ratios of the third transmission assembly 230 and the fourth transmission assembly 240 are different. The first gear shifting assembly can be in driving connection with the first input shaft 110 through one of the first transmission assembly 210 and the second transmission assembly 220, or in loose connection with the first input shaft 110, i.e., neither the first transmission assembly 210 nor the second transmission assembly 220 is in driving connection.
[0074] The second gear shifting assembly can be in driving connection with the second input shaft 130 through one of the third transmission assembly 230 and the fourth transmission assembly 240, or in loose connection with the second input shaft 130, i.e., neither the third transmission assembly 230 nor the fourth transmission assembly 240 is in driving connection.
[0075] In the embodiment, the drive system 10 includes the first input shaft 110, the second input shaft 130, the intermediate shaft 120, the first transmission assembly 210, the second transmission assembly 220, the third transmission assembly 230, the fourth transmission assembly 240, the first gear shifting assembly, the second gear shifting assembly and the controller.

In the embodiment, the drive system 10 provides a wider range of speed ratio selection, and the engine 20 and the motor can operate in the high-efficiency region for a long time, thereby improving the power performance and the fuel economy of the vehicle.
[0076] In some embodiments, the first gear shifting assembly is a dual clutch 310 or back-to-back clutch, and the second gear shifting assembly is a synchronizer 320.

[0077] Through the dual clutch 310 or back-to-back clutch, the first input shaft 110 can output power through one of the first transmission assembly 210 and the second transmission assembly 220 or none of them. When neither the first transmission assembly 210 nor the second transmission assembly 220 transmits power, the first input shaft 110 and the intermediate shaft 120 can be decoupled, the second motor 32 can output power through the second input shaft 130, that is, the second motor 32 can be directly driven and the engine 20 can be idling.
[0078] Through the synchronizer 320, one of the third transmission assembly 230 and the fourth transmission assembly 240 can output power or none of them. When neither the third transmission assembly 230 nor the fourth transmission assembly 240 transmits power, the second input shaft 130 and the intermediate shaft 120 can be decoupled, and the engine can be directly driven.
