DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the utility model provides a kind of vehicle power system, which includes motor 1, electromagnetic clutch 2, engine 3 and differential assembly 4.The rotating shaft of motor 1 is connected with primary driving wheel 5, and primary driving wheel 5 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft of motor 1.Electromagnetic clutch 2 includes driving end 201, driven end one 202 and driven end two 203.Primary driving wheel 5 is in transmission connection with primary driven wheel 6, and primary driven wheel 6 is connected with driving end 201 of electromagnetic clutch 2.Driven end one 202 of electromagnetic clutch 2 is connected with secondary driving wheel 7, and driven end two 203 of electromagnetic clutch 2 is connected with output shaft 301 of engine 3.Secondary driving wheel 7 is in transmission connection with secondary driven wheel 8, and secondary driven wheel 8 is coaxially connected with tertiary driving wheel 9, and secondary driven wheel 8 rotates synchronously with tertiary driving wheel 9, and tertiary driving wheel 9 is in transmission connection with main reduction gear 10 arranged on differential assembly 4.
[0019] In use, this invention controls the movement of the driving end 201 of the electromagnetic clutch 2, connecting it to either the driven end 202 or the driven end 203. This allows for the control of the transmission connection or disconnection between the motor 1, the differential assembly 4, and the engine 3, thereby enabling the switching between the range-extending mode and the drive mode of the individual motor 1. This improves the utilization rate of the motor 1 and avoids the engine 3 directly driving the wheels. The electric drive path employs a three-stage reduction, which achieves a larger transmission ratio compared to a two-stage reduction. This invention achieves greater wheel-end torque with the same motor 1 torque, resulting in better power performance and better suitability for heavier heavy-duty and mid-to-large-sized sedans and SUVs. Because the electromagnetic clutch 2 is used as the working mode switching mechanism, there is no need for additional hydraulic control mechanisms or shift forks. It offers fast response and a small size. Combined with the three-stage reduction setting, it achieves a higher transmission ratio while avoiding the problems associated with increasing the single-stage transmission ratio. This also ensures the overall integration and miniaturization of the vehicle's powertrain system, allowing for better installation in limited spaces and facilitating lightweight design of the vehicle's powertrain.
[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, this utility model also includes a drive shaft 11. The primary driven wheel 6 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 11. The driving end 201 of the electromagnetic clutch 2 is mounted on the drive shaft 11 and axially engages with the drive shaft 11 via a spline structure, meaning the driving end 201 rotates synchronously with the drive shaft 11 and can move axially along the drive shaft 11. The secondary driving wheel 7 is rotatably mounted on the drive shaft 11. When only the drive shaft 11 rotates, the secondary driving wheel 7 does not directly follow the drive shaft 11 in rotation. The secondary driving wheel 7 is located between the primary driven wheel 6 and the electromagnetic clutch 2, and the driven end 202 is located on the side of the secondary driving wheel 7 facing away from the primary driven wheel 6.
[0021] In drive mode, the driving end 201 of the control electromagnetic clutch 2 moves axially to connect with the driven end 202. When the motor 1 is working, the drive shaft 11 rotates, driving the secondary drive wheel 7 to rotate via the driving end 201 and the driven end 202, thus transmitting power to the differential assembly 4. In range-extending mode, the driving end 201 of the control electromagnetic clutch 2 moves axially to connect with the driven end 203. When the engine 3 is working, the driven end 203 and the driving end 201 drive the drive shaft 11 to rotate, thereby driving the shaft of the motor 1 to rotate for power generation. In range-extending mode, since the driving end 201 and the driven end 202 are disconnected, the secondary drive wheel 7 is not driven to rotate, thus avoiding the situation where the engine 3 directly drives the wheels.
[0022] Based on the structure, the utility model discloses on the basis that realizes the use electromagnetic clutch 2 control motor 1 with differential assembly 4, engine 3 between transmission connection or disconnect, make the arrangement structure between primary driven wheel 6, secondary driving wheel 7 with electromagnetic clutch 2 more compact, further promote the integration of vehicle power system and volume miniaturization.
[0023] The secondary driving wheel 7 is rotatably arranged on the transmission shaft one 11 through the needle bearing one 12, which realizes the rotational arrangement of the secondary driving wheel 7 and guarantees the radial load bearing, without increasing the radial size of the place, further improving the integration of the vehicle power system and the volume miniaturization. The transmission shaft one 11 is provided with an axial limiting piece 13 for limiting the axial position of the secondary driving wheel 7 and guaranteeing the stability of the axial position of the secondary driving wheel 7. The axial limiting piece 13 can be a retaining ring and a shaft clamp spring.
[0024] The driven end two 203 is arranged at the end of the output shaft 301 of the engine 3, and the end of the output shaft 301 is axially provided with a matching hole. One end of the transmission shaft one 11 away from the primary driven wheel 6 is arranged in the matching hole, which is beneficial to guarantee the coaxiality of the transmission shaft one 11 and the output shaft 301, thereby guaranteeing that the driving end 201 can be moved to be connected with the driven end two 203. Preferably, a needle bearing two 14 is arranged between the inner side wall of the matching hole and the transmission shaft one 11, and a thrust bearing 15 is arranged between the inner bottom surface of the matching hole and the end surface of the transmission shaft one 11, thereby improving the structural stability.
[0025] The driving end 201 is specifically an armature, the coil of the electromagnetic clutch is located outside the armature, and the coil is fixed to the shell of the vehicle power system. The armature is arranged with driving teeth on both end surfaces. The driven end one 202 is specifically a driven tooth part one, and the driven end two 203 is specifically a driven tooth part two. The armature is moved under the electromagnetic force of the coil, so that the armature is engaged with the driven tooth part one or the driven tooth part two, to realize the connection between the driving end 201 and the driven end one 202 or between the driving end 201 and the driven end two 203. The secondary driven wheel 8 and the tertiary driving wheel 9 are fixedly arranged on the transmission shaft two, so that the secondary driven wheel 8 rotates, and the tertiary driving wheel 9 rotates synchronously.
[0026] In an embodiment of the utility model, the primary driving wheel 5, the primary driven wheel 6, the secondary driving wheel 7, the secondary driven wheel 8 and the tertiary driving wheel 9 are all gears, and the transmission connection is the engagement of the teeth. This embodiment has constant instantaneous transmission ratio, good motion synchronization, can transmit large torque and high-speed power, compact structure and high space utilization.
[0027] In one form of arrangement of the above embodiment, the primary driving wheel 5 and the primary driven wheel 6, the secondary driving wheel 7 and the secondary driven wheel 8, and the tertiary driving wheel 9 and the main reduction gear 10 are directly meshed. In another form of arrangement of the above embodiment, idlers are arranged between the primary driving wheel 5 and the primary driven wheel 6, the secondary driving wheel 7 and the secondary driven wheel 8, and the tertiary driving wheel 9 and the main reduction gear 10. Based on the arrangement of the idlers, the transmission direction can be changed as required, the rotation directions of the driving wheel and the driven wheel are kept consistent on the basis of maintaining the original transmission ratio, and the center distance between the driving wheel and the driven wheel can be adjusted to adapt to the installation layout requirements.
[0028] In another embodiment of the present application, the primary driving wheel 5, the primary driven wheel 6, the secondary driving wheel 7 and the secondary driven wheel 8 are all synchronous pulleys, and the primary driving wheel 5 and the primary driven wheel 6, the secondary driving wheel 7 and the secondary driven wheel 8 are connected by corresponding synchronous belts. In this embodiment, the synchronous belt is generally made of rubber or polyurethane material, which can reduce vibration and transmission noise, and can adapt to scenes with high noise control requirements.
[0029] In another embodiment of the present application, the primary driving wheel 5, the primary driven wheel 6, the secondary driving wheel 7 and the secondary driven wheel 8 are all chain wheels, and the primary driving wheel 5 and the primary driven wheel 6, the secondary driving wheel 7 and the secondary driven wheel 8 are connected by corresponding chains. In this embodiment, the machining precision of the chain and the chain wheel is lower than that of the gear, so the machining cost is relatively lower, and the chain wheel can have higher carrying capacity, is suitable for heavy load and low speed occasions, and can have a larger transmission distance, which is beneficial to avoiding other components or obstacles in the installation area when arranging the vehicle power system.
[0030] The present application also provides a vehicle provided with the vehicle power system described above.
