[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, according to a first aspect of this application, an embodiment of this application provides a hybrid power drive system. The hybrid power drive system includes: an engine 1, a planetary gear set, a first motor, a second motor, a transmission mechanism, and a differential 27.

[0022] Engine 1 has an engine output shaft 3, through which engine 1 outputs power. The planetary gear set includes a ring gear 7, a planet carrier 5, a sun gear 8, and multiple planet gears 6. The ring gear 7 is fixed, meaning it cannot rotate in the planetary gear set. The planet gears 6 are rotatably mounted on the planet carrier 5, meshing with both the ring gear 7 and the sun gear 8. The planet carrier 5 is connected to and coaxially mounted with the engine output shaft 3. The first motor includes a first rotor 21 and a first stator 20. The first stator 20 is fixed, and a first rotor shaft 10 is coaxially fixedly connected to the first rotor 21. The first rotor shaft 10 is connected to and coaxially mounted with the sun gear 8. The second motor includes a second rotor 19 and a second stator 18. The stator 18 is fixedly mounted, and a second rotor shaft 13 is coaxially fixedly connected to the second rotor 19. The second rotor shaft 13 has a hollow internal structure, and a first gear 12 is mounted on the second rotor shaft 13. The first rotor shaft 10 passes through the hollow space inside the second rotor shaft 13 and is connected to the sun gear 8. The first rotor shaft 10 and the second rotor shaft 13 are coaxially mounted. The transmission mechanism is driven by the first gear 12. The differential 27 is driven by the transmission mechanism and is also used to drive the vehicle's wheels to transmit the power of the hybrid drive system to the vehicle's wheels. In this embodiment, the first rotor shaft 10, the second rotor shaft 13, and the engine output shaft 3 are coaxially mounted, thereby achieving a coaxial arrangement of the engine 1, the first motor, and the second electric motor. Preferably, the planetary gear set is configured so that the engine 1 and the first motor can increase their speed through the planetary gear set, which can reduce the peak torque of the first motor and thus further reduce the axial dimension of the first motor.

[0023] The hybrid drive system provided in the embodiments of this application has an engine 1, a first motor and a second motor arranged coaxially, which makes the system structure compact, reduces the size of the system in the x and z directions of the vehicle, and facilitates the layout.

[0024] In some embodiments, the second rotor 19 is fitted onto the hollow rotor hub 17, and the second rotor shaft 13 is connected to one side of the rotor hub 17. The second rotor shaft 13 and the rotor hub 17 are coaxially arranged, and the interiors of the rotor hub 17 and the second rotor shaft 13 are connected. The first motor is disposed in the hollow space inside the rotor hub 17. The rotor hub 17 can be a hollow cylinder with a base plate or bracket on one bottom surface to facilitate the placement of the second rotor shaft 13. In this embodiment, the first motor and the second motor are arranged internally and externally, which further reduces the axial dimension (i.e., the dimension of the system in the y-direction of the vehicle) and makes the structure more compact. At the same time, this arrangement can reduce the scrap rate of the motor silicon steel sheets and reduce costs.

[0025] In some embodiments, the hybrid drive system further includes a first bearing, which is sleeved on the end of the rotor hub 17 away from the second rotor shaft 13. In this embodiment, by providing the first bearing, the end of the rotor hub 17 away from the second rotor shaft 13 can be better supported, so that both ends of the second rotor 19 of the second motor are supported, and the support reliability is improved.

[0026] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, the hybrid drive system further includes a synchronization mechanism, which includes an active end 9 and a passive end 11. The active end 9 and the passive end 11 can be controlled to engage or disengage. The active end 9 is disposed on the first rotor shaft 10, and the passive end 11 is disposed on the second rotor shaft 13. In some embodiments, the synchronization mechanism is one of a synchronizer, an electromagnetic clutch, or a multi-plate wet clutch. In this embodiment, by setting a synchronization mechanism, the power of the engine 1 can be directly transmitted to the second rotor shaft 13, thereby realizing the transmission of power to the wheels through the first gear 12 on the second rotor shaft 13. With this arrangement, the engine 1 and the second motor can share the first gear 12 when outputting power, reducing the number of gear parts and making the structure more compact.

[0027] Of course, in other embodiments, the hybrid drive system may not include a synchronization mechanism. In this case, the hybrid drive system can be applied to range-extended vehicles to reduce vehicle costs.

[0028] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism includes a second gear 23, an intermediate shaft 25, a third gear 24, and a fourth gear 26. The second gear 23 and the third gear 24 are fixedly mounted on the intermediate shaft 25, and power is transmitted between them through the intermediate shaft 25. The second gear 23 meshes with the first gear 12, and the third gear 24 meshes with the fourth gear 26. The fourth gear 26 is fixedly connected to the differential 27. In this embodiment, the fourth gear 26 has more teeth than the second gear 23, and the second gear 23 has more teeth than the third gear 24, thereby achieving a speed reduction design from the hybrid drive system to the wheels.

[0029] In some embodiments, the hybrid drive system further includes a shock absorber 2 disposed on the engine output shaft 3. In this embodiment, the shock absorber 2 can reduce the vibration of the engine 1, thereby improving the comfort of the vehicle.

[0030] In some embodiments, the hybrid drive system further includes a second bearing 4, which is sleeved on the end of the engine output shaft 3 that connects to the planetary carrier 5. In this embodiment, by providing the second bearing 4, the engine output shaft 3 can be supported, thereby achieving reliable power transmission.

[0031] In some embodiments, the hybrid drive system further includes a third bearing 14, a fourth bearing, and a fifth bearing 22. The third bearing 14 and the fourth bearing are located inside the second rotor shaft 13 and respectively sleeved on the first rotor shaft 10. The third bearing 14 is located on the inner side of the end of the second rotor shaft 13 away from the rotor hub 17, the fourth bearing is located on the inner side of the end of the second rotor shaft 13 near the rotor hub 17, and the fifth bearing 22 is located on the end of the first rotor shaft 10 away from the second rotor shaft 13. In this embodiment, the third bearing 14 and the fifth bearing 22 can provide support for both ends of the first rotor shaft 10, while the fourth bearing further strengthens the support near the rotor hub 17, making the support reliability of the second rotor shaft 13 higher.

[0032] In some embodiments, the hybrid drive system further includes a sixth bearing 15 and a seventh bearing 16, which are disposed at one end of the second rotor shaft 13 near the rotor hub 17. In this embodiment, by providing two bearings, the sixth bearing 15 and the seventh bearing 16, to support the second rotor shaft 13, the support for the second rotor shaft 13 can be made more reliable.

[0033] According to a second aspect of this application, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle including a hybrid drive system provided in any embodiment of the first aspect of this application.

[0034] The working principle of the hybrid drive system provided in the embodiments of this application is described below:

[0035] 1. Pure Electric Drive Mode: In this mode, the second motor outputs power, and the output torque of the second motor rotor is transmitted to the rotor hub 17 fixedly connected to it.

[0036] 2. Engine Start-up: At this time, the first motor outputs power, which is transmitted through the first rotor 21 to the first rotor shaft 10 fixedly connected to it.

[0039] 5. Hybrid Drive Mode: In engine 1 direct drive mode, the second motor can simultaneously output power. The second rotor 19 outputs torque to the rotor hub 17, which is fixedly connected to it.
