[0001] This utility model relates to a hybrid electric vehicle drive transmission system, belonging to the field of automotive transmission technology. Background Technology
[0002] Hybrid vehicles typically feature both an engine and an electric motor, which work together to drive the wheels via a transmission system. Due to their significant advantages, such as low emissions, they have become a new type of vehicle that the automotive industry is actively developing. In the field of hybrid powertrain systems, based on the different power connection methods, they can be divided into three basic forms: series, parallel, and series-parallel.
[0003] Existing hybrid transmissions generally suffer from complex structural designs and low system transmission efficiency. Although the coordinated operation of the electric motor can allow the engine to operate in a high-efficiency range, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the powertrain to some extent, this approach still struggles to effectively reduce fuel consumption. Furthermore, existing hybrid transmissions operate in a relatively singular mode, unable to flexibly adjust power distribution strategies according to actual driving conditions to improve overall performance and further enhance the hybrid transmission's power output. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0009] This invention innovatively constructs a multi-mode power system integrating a planetary gear set mechanism and a dual-motor collaborative control architecture, encompassing pure electric, series and parallel dual-gear, hybrid power split, and parking generator modes. This ensures the engine always operates within its high-efficiency range.

One part is transmitted to the ring gear 12 through the input shaft 8, planet carrier 10 and planet gear 11 in sequence; the other part of the torque is transmitted to the sun gear 9 and motor 2 3 through planet gear 11. Due to the influence of the rotational speed of motor 1 4 or motor 2 3 on the speed of engine 1, the relative continuity between engine 1 and vehicle speed is also called ECVT mode.

[0073] Table 1. Working Modes of this Utility Model
[0074]
[0075] This utility model is based on the planetary gear structure and components of mature products on the market. By adding two motors, two clutches, and one brake, it achieves pure electric mode, series mode, parallel mode with two fixed gears, and hybrid power split mode. It has the advantages of simple structure, reasonable design, and relatively low cost. Different operating modes can be selected according to the vehicle's working conditions, so that the hybrid transmission system and engine can operate in the most efficient range.
[0076] The pure electric mode provides a way to drive the electric motor independently by relying on the battery to provide power when the engine is not providing power, and achieve normal vehicle operation through the transmission mechanism.
[0077] The series mode can realize the working mode of range-extended vehicles according to the working requirements of the whole vehicle.
[0078] In parallel mode, the engine can work independently, and the power distribution mechanism and transmission mechanism can transmit power normally to drive the vehicle. At the same time, the electric motor can be used to adjust the engine torque to improve the engine efficiency.
[0079] In the series-parallel hybrid mode, the engine and electric motor work simultaneously to drive the vehicle. By controlling the operation of the electric motor, the engine speed and torque operating point can be adjusted, reducing engine fuel consumption. The series-parallel power split mode can effectively improve engine operating conditions. Combined with two parallel fixed gears, it can effectively solve the problem of fuel economy and power across the entire operating range of the vehicle, keeping the engine in its high-efficiency range and achieving excellent overall vehicle fuel economy.
[0080] By switching between the above-mentioned operating modes during vehicle operation, fuel consumption can be effectively saved. The electric motor can participate in driving during each mode switch, ensuring no power interruption. This invention improves the overall system efficiency and has advantages such as low cost, lightweight design, simple structure, reasonable design, and relatively low cost.
