[0030] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar symbols denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown in this embodiment, a transmission structure for a manual transmission hybrid vehicle includes an engine 1, a motor 2, a clutch 3, and a manual gearbox 4. A planetary mechanism 5 is provided between the engine 1 and the motor 2. The planetary mechanism 5 includes:

[0032] External gear ring 51 is connected to the output shaft of engine 1;

[0033] The sun gear 52 is located inside the outer gear ring 51 and is coaxially arranged with the outer gear ring 51. Its central shaft 521 is located inside the rotor 22 of the motor 2.

[0034] Multiple planetary gears 53 mesh between the sun gear 52 and the external gear ring 51. The rotor 22 of the motor 2 has multiple connecting shafts 221 that are spaced apart along its circumference extending from its first end. The multiple connecting shafts 221 are respectively connected to the multiple planetary gears 53. The moving plate 31 of the clutch 3 is connected to the central shaft 521 of the sun gear 52 near the second end. The stationary plate 32 of the clutch 3 is connected to the input shaft of the manual transmission 4, thereby realizing the transmission of power to the manual transmission 4.

[0035] Furthermore, the interior of the central shaft of the sun gear 52 near the second end is connected to the moving plate 31 of the clutch 3 via a spline structure.

[0036] The output shaft of engine 1, the rotor 22 of motor 2, and the central shaft of sun gear 52 are all equipped with locking devices. The locking devices can restrict the rotation of corresponding components according to the requirements of different working modes, so as to complete the switching of various working modes.

[0037] Among them, motor 2 has the functions of both generator 2 and motor, and can switch working states in real time according to working conditions. The entire system requires the cooperation of the electronic control system and the battery.

[0038] Thus, by flexibly switching between multiple working modes, the most suitable power output method can be selected according to different working conditions, greatly reducing vehicle fuel consumption, improving energy utilization efficiency, and reducing dependence on fossil fuels; it is applicable to various types of vehicles such as manual transmission vehicles, military vehicles, and tanks and armored vehicles, and has broad application prospects and market value.

[0039] In this embodiment, the various working modes include:

[0040] Pure electric mode: The output shaft of engine 1 is locked. Motor 2 drives planetary gears 53, which in turn drives the central shaft 521 of sun gear 52 to rotate. Power is transmitted to manual transmission 4 via clutch 3, allowing the vehicle to be driven solely by motor 2. This mode is suitable for low-speed urban driving, short-distance driving, or situations requiring quiet operation, effectively reducing noise and fuel consumption. Furthermore, in military vehicles and armored vehicles, pure electric mode reduces the noise and heat generated by engine 1, improving battlefield stealth and increasing combat advantages.

[0041] Direct drive mode: The rotor 22 of motor 2 is locked, and engine 1 drives planetary gear 53 directly to output power through external gear ring 51. In this mode, when the vehicle is driving at high speed and in a stable manner, the power advantage of engine 1 can be fully utilized and the transmission efficiency can be improved.

[0042] Hybrid mode: Both engine 1 and electric motor 2 output power, which is transmitted to sun gear 52 and then to manual transmission 4 via clutch 3. In this mode, when the vehicle is accelerating or climbing hills, the power of engine 1 and electric motor 2 are combined to improve the vehicle's power performance and driving experience.

[0043] Power generation mode 1: Engine 1 simultaneously drives motor 2 to generate electricity and drives sun gear 52 to achieve power output. During vehicle operation, the battery can be charged in a timely manner according to the battery charge level, while ensuring the vehicle's power output.

[0044] Power generation mode 2: Sun gear 52 is locked, and engine 1 drives motor 2 to generate electricity. In this mode, when the vehicle is parked or under specific operating conditions, the focus is on charging the battery, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0045] Engine 1 restart mode after shutdown: Sun gear 52 is locked, motor 2 drives sun gear 52, which drives engine 1 to start via external gear ring 51. This makes it easy to restart engine 1 after it is turned off, and is especially suitable for scenarios where engine 1 needs to work intermittently.

[0046] Starting engine 1 in pure electric mode: Release the locked output shaft of engine 1 and start engine 1 by increasing the speed of motor 2. This can achieve a smooth start to engine 1 and reduce the impact and noise during startup.

[0047] Clutch engagement and light braking: In pure electric mode, motor 2 stops working; in hybrid mode or power generation mode 1, the sun gear 52 is locked, and motor 2 generates electricity to achieve energy recovery and improve energy utilization.

[0048] Under specific operating conditions (such as when shifting gears by depressing the clutch and when lightly braking), motor 2 can generate electricity to recover energy, further improving energy efficiency and extending the vehicle's driving range.

[0049] Furthermore, the brake lever is designed as an electromagnetic-mechanical composite brake lever, which is a device that combines electromagnetic force with mechanical structure to achieve braking and locking functions. The electromagnetic component generates electromagnetic force by energizing an electromagnetic coil. When the electromagnetic coil is powered on, it creates a magnetic field that attracts components such as the armature to move. The mechanical component, under the action of the electromagnetic force, achieves the locking action through mechanical structures. Utilizing principles such as levers and hydraulics, the electromagnetic force is amplified and transmitted, causing the brake pads to engage with the brake disc or the braking device to grip shaft components, thereby generating frictional torque and achieving braking and locking.

[0050] Electromagnetic-mechanical composite brake levers have the following advantages: a) Rapid response: The generation and dissipation of electromagnetic force are very fast, enabling braking and locking in a short time, making them suitable for emergency braking applications; b) Reliable braking: Combining the advantages of electromagnetic and mechanical systems, electromagnetic force provides rapid response power, while the mechanical structure ensures the stability and durability of braking, making it more reliable than single braking methods; c) Flexible control: The braking torque can be precisely adjusted by controlling parameters such as the current and energizing time of the electromagnetic coil to meet the needs of different operating conditions.

[0051] In specific embodiment 1: there are four planetary gears 53 and four connecting shafts. The four planetary gears 53 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the sun gear 52 and the circumference of the external gear ring 51.

[0052] It should be noted that the external gear ring 51 is made of 20CrMnTi carburized steel, which has high bending strength and can withstand the impact torque generated by the rapid acceleration and deceleration of armored vehicles; its internal tooth surface has undergone special laser quenching treatment, which has high hardness and resistance to microcrack propagation.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.
