Description

[0002] With the rapid development of electric vehicle technology, the requirements for the integration, intelligence, and reliability of vehicle control systems are increasing. Traditional electric drive axle control systems are generally located in control units close to mechanical components. This arrangement is suitable for products with only one control system, but a single control system can no longer meet the needs of intelligent development. Currently, electric drive axle products generally contain multiple control systems, such as motor control systems and shift control systems. This independent and decentralized arrangement not only increases the complexity of the entire electric axle control system but also easily leads to malfunctions in the coordination between control units, increasing production and braking costs and maintenance difficulty. Therefore, developing a highly integrated hardware control system capable of simultaneously realizing the above-mentioned multiple functions is of great significance for improving electric drive axle performance, reducing costs, and simplifying maintenance.
