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] With increasing global pressure on oil and energy resources, hybrid technology has emerged as another breakthrough for alleviating this pressure. Hybrid electromechanical coupling systems involve the integrated design and layout of engines, electric motors, and gear transmission systems, often resulting in complex structures, large space requirements, and difficulties in vehicle installation. Furthermore, controlling these systems is also challenging. On the other hand, most current hybrid electromechanical coupling systems employ a single-gear structure in their transmission schemes, rarely using two- or multi-gear configurations. This results in a fixed speed ratio for the entire transmission system, meaning that under certain operating conditions, the engine or drive motor cannot operate within its optimal range, thus limiting the vehicle's power and fuel economy.

[0065] 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.

[0066] Example 1

[0067] See Figure 1 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.

[0068] 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 the second and third power sources are both 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 engine 20 can be directly or indirectly connected, the first input shaft 110 and the first motor 31 can be directly or indirectly connected, and the second input shaft 120 and the second motor 32 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 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.

[0069] The first transmission assembly 210 connects the second input shaft 120 and the intermediate shaft 130; the second transmission assembly 220 connects the second input shaft 120 and the intermediate shaft 130; the third transmission assembly 230 connects the first input shaft 110 and the intermediate shaft 130; and the fourth transmission assembly 240 connects the first input shaft 110 and the intermediate shaft 130. A first gear shifting assembly 310 is disposed on the intermediate shaft 130 and is used to selectively transmit power from the second input shaft 120 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 first input shaft 110 or the intermediate shaft 130 and is used to selectively transmit power from the first input shaft 110 to the intermediate shaft 130 via either the third transmission assembly 230 or the fourth transmission assembly 240. One of the first gear shifting assembly 310 and the second gear shifting assembly 320 is a synchronizer.

[0070] 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.

[0071] 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 second input shaft 120, or it can connect the first transmission assembly 210 and the second transmission assembly 220 to the second input shaft 120 without any transmission, that is, neither the first transmission assembly 210 nor the second transmission assembly 220 is in operation.

[0072] The second gear shifting component 320 can connect one of the third transmission component 230 and the fourth transmission component 240 to the first input shaft 110 for transmission, or connect the third transmission component 230 and the fourth transmission component 240 to the first input shaft 110 without transmission, that is, neither the third transmission component 230 nor the fourth transmission component 240 is in operation.

[0073] 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 second input shaft 120 and the intermediate shaft 130. The third transmission assembly 230 and the fourth transmission assembly 240 are both connected to the first input shaft 110 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.

[0074] Combination Figure 1As shown, the drive system 10 also includes a shock absorber 400, the input end of which is connected to the engine 20, and the output end of which is directly or indirectly connected to the first input shaft 110. The shock absorber 400 may include a torsional shock absorber or a dual-mass flywheel.

[0075] The input end of the shock absorber 400 is connected to the engine 20, and the output end of the shock absorber 400 is connected to the first input shaft 110. The shock absorber 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.

[0076] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the drive system 10 also includes a first clutch 500, which is disposed between the first input shaft 110 and the engine 20 to control the disengagement and engagement of the first input shaft 110 and the engine 20. When the drive system 10 also includes a shock absorber 400, the driving end of the first clutch 500 is connected to the shock absorber 400, and the driven end of the first clutch 500 is connected to the first input shaft 110.

[0077] When the first clutch 500 is engaged with the first input shaft 110, the engine 20 can output power to the first motor 31 through the first input shaft 110, so that the first motor 31 can generate electricity or drive the wheels 40; when the first clutch 500 is disengaged from the first input shaft 110, it can prevent the first motor 31 from dragging the engine 20 when it outputs power to the first input shaft 110 as a drive motor, thus affecting the output power of the first input shaft 110.

[0078] 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 second clutch 311 and a third clutch 312. Both the second clutch 311 and the third clutch 312 are disposed on the intermediate shaft 130. The second clutch 311 is engaged with the first transmission assembly 210, and the third clutch 312 is engaged with the second transmission assembly 220. The dual-clutch also includes a clutch housing, within which both the second clutch 311 and the third clutch 312 are disposed.

[0079] It should be understood that the second clutch 311 and the third clutch 312 can be integrated into the same housing, or the second clutch 311 and the third clutch 312 can be two independently set clutches, that is, integrated into their respective housings one-to-one.

[0080] By using a dual-clutch or back-to-back clutch, the second input shaft 120 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 second input shaft 120 and the intermediate shaft 130 can be decoupled, enabling direct engine drive.

[0081] The synchronizer allows either the third transmission assembly 230 or the fourth transmission assembly 240 to output power or both to be de-energized. When neither the third transmission assembly 230 nor the fourth transmission assembly 240 is energized, the first input shaft 110 and the intermediate shaft 130 can be decoupled, enabling direct drive of the second motor 32 and idling power generation of the engine 20.

[0082] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the second clutch 311 can be selected to be in a constantly engaged state. During the vehicle start-up phase, the vehicle's operating mode can be controlled to drive the vehicle to start quickly with the second motor 32. The constantly engaged second clutch 311 allows the torque of the second motor 32 to be directly output to the wheel ends of the vehicle, resulting in fast torque response and thus improving the vehicle's start-up response speed.

[0083] 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 an intermediate shaft 130. The first transmission gear 212 is sleeved on the first transmission shaft 211, and the second transmission gear 213 is sleeved on a second input shaft 120. The first transmission gear 212 and the second transmission gear 213 mesh, and the first transmission shaft 211 is connected to the second input shaft 120 through a first gear shifting assembly 310.

[0084] 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 intermediate shaft 130. The third transmission gear 222 is sleeved on the second transmission shaft 221, and the fourth transmission gear 223 is sleeved on the second input shaft 120. The third transmission gear 222 and the fourth transmission gear 223 mesh. The second transmission shaft 221 is connected to the second input shaft 120 through the first gear shifting assembly 310.

[0085] The second motor 32 and the intermediate shaft 130 are connected by the first transmission assembly 210 and the second transmission assembly 220. The first transmission assembly 210 and the second transmission assembly 220 can reduce the output speed of the second motor 32 and increase the output torque of the second motor 32.

[0086] 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.

[0087] 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.

[0088] 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.

[0089] In some embodiments, the second gear shifting assembly 320 is disposed on the first input shaft 110. 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 first input shaft 110 and can be connected to the first input shaft 110 via the second gear shifting assembly 320. The fifth transmission gear 232 is disposed on an intermediate shaft 130, and the first gear 231 and the fifth transmission gear 232 mesh. The second gear shifting assembly 320 is a synchronizer.

[0090] The fourth transmission assembly 240 includes a second gear 241 and a sixth transmission gear 242. The second gear 241 is loosely fitted onto the first input shaft 110 and can be connected to the first input shaft 110 via the second gear shifting assembly 320. The sixth transmission gear 242 is disposed on the intermediate shaft 130, and the second gear 241 and the sixth transmission gear 242 mesh.

[0091] The third transmission assembly 230 and the fourth transmission assembly 240 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.

[0092] 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.
