Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of power transmission, specifically relating to a drive system and an automobile. Background Technology
[0002] Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) primarily utilize three basic powertrain configurations: series, parallel, and series-parallel. In a series configuration, there is no mechanical connection between the engine and the output shaft, allowing for optimal speed or torque control. However, all energy is transferred to the output shaft through two conversions between mechanical and electrical power, resulting in significant energy loss. Parallel transmissions offer high efficiency, but the mechanical connection between the engine and the output shaft prevents the engine from always operating within its optimal range, typically limiting its use to medium to high speeds. Series-parallel hybrids combine the advantages of both systems, enabling both optimized engine control and efficient control at medium to high speeds.
[0003] Currently, all series-parallel coupled powertrain systems have a single gear, meaning the entire powertrain has only one fixed speed ratio. This cannot guarantee that the vehicle will always operate in the optimal mode. For example, the optimal mode at high speeds should be engine direct drive or parallel drive mode. However, because the powertrain only has a single gear, engine direct drive or parallel drive cannot guarantee that the engine and drive motor will operate in their high-efficiency range for extended periods, thus limiting the vehicle's power and fuel economy.

[0063] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.
[0064] Example 1
[0065] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the drive system 10 includes: a first input shaft 110, a second input shaft 120, an intermediate shaft 130, a first transmission component 210, a second transmission component 220, a third transmission component 230, a fourth transmission component 240, a first gear shifting component 310, a second gear shifting component 320, and a controller.
[0066] The first input shaft 110 is used to connect a first power source and a second power source, and the second input shaft 120 is used to connect a third power source. 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. The first end of the first input shaft 110 is used to connect to the engine 20, and the second end of the first input shaft 110 is used to connect to the first motor 31. The first input shaft 110 and the first motor 31 can be directly or indirectly connected. The first motor 31 can generate electricity under the drive of the first input shaft 110. An intermediate shaft 130 is disposed between the first input shaft 110 and the second input shaft 120, and is parallel to both the first input shaft 110 and the second input shaft 120. The intermediate shaft 130 is used to connect directly or indirectly to the wheel 40.
[0067] A first transmission assembly 210 connects the first input shaft 110 and the intermediate shaft 130; a second transmission assembly 220 connects the first input shaft 110 and the intermediate shaft 130; a third transmission assembly 230 connects the second input shaft 120 and the intermediate shaft 130; and a fourth transmission assembly 240 connects the second input shaft 120 and the intermediate shaft 130. A first gear shifting assembly 310 is disposed on the first input shaft 110 and is used to selectively transmit the power of the first input shaft 110 to the intermediate shaft 130 via either the first transmission assembly 210 or the second transmission assembly 220. A second gear shifting assembly 320 is disposed on either the second input shaft 120 or the intermediate shaft 130 and is used to selectively transmit the power of the second input shaft 120 to the intermediate shaft 130 via either the third transmission assembly 230 or the fourth transmission assembly 240.
[0068] The controller is used to control the output power of at least one of the first power source, the second power source and the third power source, and to control the first gear shifting component 310 and the second gear shifting component 320 to selectively transmit power to the intermediate shaft 130 through at least one of the first transmission component 210, the second transmission component 220, the third transmission component 230 and the fourth transmission component 240.
[0069] 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 also different. The first gear shifting assembly 310 can connect one of the first transmission assembly 210 and the second transmission assembly 220 to the first input shaft 110 for transmission, or it can connect the first transmission assembly 210 and the second transmission assembly 220 to the first input shaft 110 without transmission, that is, neither the first transmission assembly 210 nor the second transmission assembly 220 is in operation.
[0070] The second gear shifting component 320 can connect one of the third transmission component 230 and the fourth transmission component 240 to the second input shaft 120 for transmission, or connect the third transmission component 230 and the fourth transmission component 240 to the second input shaft 120 without transmission, that is, neither the third transmission component 230 nor the fourth transmission component 240 is in operation.
[0071] In this embodiment, the drive system 10 includes a first input shaft 110, a second input shaft 120, an intermediate shaft 130, a first transmission assembly 210, a second transmission assembly 220, a third transmission assembly 230, a fourth transmission assembly 240, a first gear shifting assembly 310, a second gear shifting assembly 320, and a controller. The first input shaft 110 is used to connect a first power source and a second power source, the second input shaft 120 is used to connect a third power source, and the intermediate shaft 130 is disposed between the first input shaft 110 and the second input shaft 120. The first transmission assembly 210 and the second transmission assembly 220 are both connected to the first input shaft 110 and the intermediate shaft 130. The third transmission assembly 230 and the fourth transmission assembly 240 are both connected to the second input shaft 120 and the intermediate shaft 130. The controller is used to control the first gear shifting assembly 310 and the second gear shifting assembly 320 to selectively transmit power to the intermediate shaft 130 through at least one of the first transmission assembly 210, the second transmission assembly 220, the third transmission assembly 230, and the fourth transmission assembly 240 to achieve multi-gear shifting. In this embodiment, the drive system 10 provides a wider range of speed ratio selection, and the engine 20 and the electric motor can operate in the high-efficiency range for a long time, thereby improving the power and economy of the vehicle.
[0072] In some embodiments, the first gear shifting assembly 310 is a dual-clutch or a back-to-back clutch, and the second gear shifting assembly 320 is a synchronizer. For example, the first gear shifting assembly 310 is a dual-clutch, which includes a first clutch 311, a second clutch 312, and a housing 313. The housing 313 is mounted on the first input shaft 110. Both the first clutch 311 and the second clutch 312 are disposed within the housing 313. The first clutch 311 connects the housing 313 and the first transmission assembly 210, enabling engagement and disengagement of the housing 313 from the first transmission assembly 210. The second clutch 312 connects the housing 313 and the second transmission assembly 220, enabling engagement and disengagement of the housing 313 from the second transmission assembly 220.
[0073] By using a dual-clutch or back-to-back clutch, the first input shaft 110 can output power through either the first transmission assembly 210 or the second transmission assembly 220, or neither can be driven. When neither the first transmission assembly 210 nor the second transmission assembly 220 is driven, that is, the first input shaft 110 and the intermediate shaft 130 can be decoupled, the second motor 32 can output power through the second input shaft 120, thus enabling the second motor 32 to directly drive the engine 20 and generate electricity at idle.
[0074] The synchronizer allows either the third transmission assembly 230 or the fourth transmission assembly 240 to output power or both to remain inactive. When neither the third transmission assembly 230 nor the fourth transmission assembly 240 is inactive, the second input shaft 120 and the intermediate shaft 130 can be decoupled, enabling direct engine drive.
[0075] In some embodiments, the first transmission assembly 210 includes a first transmission shaft 211, a first transmission gear 212, and a second transmission gear 213. The first transmission shaft 211 is a hollow shaft and is sleeved on the first input shaft 110. The first transmission gear 212 is sleeved on the first transmission shaft 211, and the second transmission gear 213 is sleeved on the intermediate shaft 130. The first transmission gear 212 and the second transmission gear 213 mesh, and the first transmission shaft 211 is connected to the first input shaft 110 through a first gear shifting assembly 310.
[0076] The second transmission assembly 220 includes a second transmission shaft 221, a third transmission gear 222, and a fourth transmission gear 223. The second transmission shaft 221 is a hollow shaft and is sleeved on the first input shaft 110. The third transmission gear 222 is sleeved on the second transmission shaft 221, and the fourth transmission gear 223 is sleeved on the intermediate shaft 130. The third transmission gear 222 and the fourth transmission gear 223 mesh. The second transmission shaft 221 is connected to the first input shaft 110 through a first gear shifting assembly 310.
[0077] The first transmission assembly 210 and the second transmission assembly 220 connect the first input shaft 110 and the intermediate shaft 130. This can reduce the output speed of the first input shaft 110 and increase the output torque of the first input shaft 110. It can also make the engagement and disengagement of the synchronizer with the third transmission assembly 230 and the fourth transmission assembly 240 smoother.
[0078] In some embodiments, the second drive shaft 221 is located between the first input shaft 110 and the first drive shaft 211, that is, the second drive shaft 221 is sleeved on the first input shaft 110, and the first drive shaft 211 is sleeved on the second drive shaft 221. The length of the second drive shaft 221 is greater than the length of the first drive shaft 211, and the first drive gear 212 and the third drive gear 222 are located on the same side of the first gear shifting assembly 310.
[0079] The first transmission gear 212 and the third transmission gear 222 are located on the same side of the first gear shifting assembly 310, which makes the structure of the drive system 10 more compact and reduces the space occupied in the design of the car.
[0080] It should be noted that the first transmission gear 212 and the third transmission gear 222 may be located on the same side of the first gear shifting component 310, but are not limited thereto. The first transmission gear 212 and the third transmission gear 222 may also be located on opposite sides of the first gear shifting component 310, depending on the specific circumstances.
[0081] In some embodiments, the second gear shifting assembly 320 is disposed on the intermediate shaft 130. The third transmission assembly 230 includes a first gear 231 and a fifth transmission gear 232. The first gear 231 is loosely fitted on the intermediate shaft 130, and the fifth transmission gear 232 is disposed on the second input shaft 120. The first gear 231 and the fifth transmission gear 232 mesh, and the first gear 231 is connected to the intermediate shaft 130 through the second gear shifting assembly 320. The second gear shifting assembly 320 is a synchronizer.
[0082] The fourth transmission assembly 240 includes a second gear 241 and a sixth transmission gear 242. The second gear 241 is loosely fitted on the intermediate shaft 130, and the sixth transmission gear 242 is disposed on the second input shaft 120. The second gear 241 and the sixth transmission gear 242 mesh, and the second gear 241 is connected to the intermediate shaft 130 through the second gear shifting assembly 320.
[0083] The second motor 32 and the intermediate shaft 130 are connected by the third transmission assembly 230 and the fourth transmission assembly 240. The third transmission assembly 230 and the fourth transmission assembly 240 can reduce the output speed of the second motor 32 and increase the output torque of the second motor 32.
[0084] In some embodiments, the drive system 10 further includes a damper 400 disposed on the first input shaft 110 and located between the first power source and the first gear shifting assembly 310. The damper 400 may include a torsional damper and a dual-mass flywheel.
[0085] The vibration damper 400 is installed on the first input shaft 110. The vibration damper 400 can suppress the torsional vibration of the first input shaft 110 and prevent the first input shaft 110 from shaking or even breaking under high-speed rotation.
[0086] In some embodiments, the first power source and the second power source are located on opposite sides of the axial direction of the drive system 10, and the second power source and the third power source are located on the same side of the axial direction of the drive system 10. The axial direction of the drive system 10 is the axial direction of the first input shaft 110, the second input shaft 120, and the intermediate shaft 130. The first transmission assembly 210, the second transmission assembly 220, the third transmission assembly 230, and the fourth transmission assembly 240 are disposed between the first power source and the third power source.
[0087] The first power source can be an engine 20, and the second and third power sources are both electric motors. The first and second power sources are located on opposite sides of the axial direction of the drive system 10, and the second and third power sources are located on the same side of the axial direction of the drive system 10, which can reduce the design difficulty of fuel supply for the engine 20 and power supply for the electric motor.
[0088] In some embodiments, the drive system 10 further includes a fifth transmission assembly 250, which includes a seventh transmission gear 251 and an eighth transmission gear 252. The seventh transmission gear 251 is disposed on the first input shaft 110, and the eighth transmission gear 252 is disposed on the shaft where the second power source is located. The second power source is the first motor 31, and the eighth transmission gear 252 is disposed on the output shaft of the first motor 31. The seventh transmission gear 251 and the eighth transmission gear mesh 252.
[0089] The first input shaft 110 and the first motor 31 are connected by a fifth transmission assembly 250, which can reduce the output speed of the first input shaft 110 and increase the output torque of the first input shaft 110.
[0090] In some embodiments, the drive system 10 further includes a sixth transmission assembly 260, which includes a ninth transmission gear 261, a tenth transmission gear 262, a differential 263, and a drive half-shaft 264. The ninth transmission gear 261 is disposed on the intermediate shaft 130, the tenth transmission gear 262 meshes with the ninth transmission gear 261, the differential 263 connects the two drive half-shafts 264 and the tenth transmission gear 262, and the drive half-shafts 264 are used to drive the wheels 40 to rotate.
[0091] The intermediate shaft 130 and the wheels 40 are connected via a sixth transmission assembly 260. The sixth transmission assembly 260 can reduce the output speed of the intermediate shaft 130 and increase the output torque. The sixth transmission assembly 260 includes a differential 263, which can automatically adjust the speed of the left and right wheels 40 according to factors such as the turning radius and vehicle speed, so that the inner wheel 40 rotates slower and the outer wheel 40 rotates faster, allowing the wheels 40 to maintain a pure rolling state during turning, avoiding slippage friction and improving the vehicle's handling performance and driving stability.
[0092] Example 2
[0093] The main difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is the installation location of the second gear switching component 320. See also... Figure 3 As shown in Embodiment 2, the second gear switching component 320 is disposed on the second input shaft 120.
[0094] The third transmission assembly 230 includes a first gear 231, which is loosely fitted onto the second input shaft 120.

[0096] The fifth transmission gear 232 and the sixth transmission gear 242 are located on the intermediate shaft 130. The synchronizer, the first gear 231 and the second gear 241 are all located on the second input shaft 120. The length of the intermediate shaft 130 can be reduced, making the structure of the drive system 10 more compact.
[0097] Example 3
[0098] The main difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 2 is that the structures of the third transmission component 230 and the fourth transmission component 240 are different.
[0099] See Figure 4As shown, in Embodiment 3, the third transmission assembly 230 omits the fifth transmission gear 232, and the fourth transmission assembly 240 includes the sixth transmission gear 242. In this embodiment, the third transmission assembly 230 includes a first gear 231, which is loosely fitted onto the second input shaft 120. The first gear 231 is connected to the second input shaft 120 via the second gear shifting assembly 320, and is also connected to the intermediate shaft 130 via the first transmission assembly 210. Specifically, the first gear 231 meshes with the second transmission gear 213.
[0100] The fourth transmission assembly 240 includes a second gear 241, which is loosely fitted onto the second input shaft 120. The second gear 241 and the first gear 231 are located on opposite sides of the second gear shifting assembly 320. The second gear 241 is connected to the second input shaft 120 via the second gear shifting assembly 320, and also connected to the intermediate shaft 130 via the second transmission assembly 220. Specifically, the second gear 241 meshes with the fourth transmission gear 223. The second gear shifting assembly 320 includes a synchronizer.
[0101] The second transmission gear 213 meshes with the first gear 231 and the first transmission gear 212 simultaneously, and the fourth transmission gear 223 meshes with the second gear 241 and the third transmission gear 222 simultaneously. The transmission path between the intermediate shaft 130 and the second motor 32 is shorter and the structure is more compact.
[0102] Example 4
[0103] This application also provides a control method for a drive system 10, used to control the drive system 10 disclosed in Embodiments 1 to 3. See also Figure 17 As shown, the control method of the drive system 10 includes:
[0104] S100: Obtain vehicle operating status parameters, which include at least one of the following: battery charge value, throttle opening value, vehicle speed value, and brake pedal depth value.
[0105] S200: Determine the operating mode of the drive system 10 based on the operating status parameters;
[0106] S300: According to the working mode, control the output power of at least one of the first power source, the second power source, and the third power source, and control the first gear shifting component 310 and the second gear shifting component 320 to selectively transmit power to the intermediate shaft 130 through at least one of the first transmission component 210, the second transmission component 220, the third transmission component 230, and the fourth transmission component 240.
[0107] For example, the drive system 10 in Embodiment 1 is used for illustration. The operating modes of the drive system 10 in Embodiments 2 and 3 are the same as those in Embodiment 1, so they will not be described again.

[0108] The operating mode of the drive system 10 is determined based on the operating status parameters. For example, if the throttle opening value is 0, the vehicle speed value is 0, and the battery charge value is less than the set value, the operating mode of the drive system 10 can be determined as idle power generation mode. Based on the battery charge value, vehicle speed value, and brake pedal depth value, the operating mode of the drive system 10 can be determined as one of the following: pure electric first gear mode, pure electric second gear mode, series first gear mode, series second gear mode, engine direct drive first gear mode, engine direct drive second gear mode, parallel first gear mode, parallel second gear mode, parallel third gear mode, or parallel fourth gear mode. If the brake pedal is engaged in pure electric first gear mode, pure electric second gear mode, series first gear mode, series second gear mode, engine direct drive first gear mode, engine direct drive second gear mode, parallel first gear mode, parallel second gear mode, parallel third gear mode, or parallel fourth gear mode, the operating mode of the drive system 10 can be determined as brake energy recovery mode.
