[0029] In related technologies, the powertrain has a complex overall structure, occupies a large space, and is not conducive to the optimization of vehicle layout.

[0030] The following is for reference. Figure 1 A powertrain according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the powertrain according to this invention is used in a vehicle. The powertrain includes a planetary reducer 11, which is used to reduce speed and increase torque. The planetary reducer 11 includes a sun gear, a planet carrier, and a ring gear that mesh with each other. The sun gear is located at the center, and the planet carrier rotates around the sun gear and carries multiple planetary gears, which mesh with both the sun gear and the ring gear. Compared to the parallel shaft reducer 13 in related technologies, the planetary reducer 11 has higher transmission efficiency and a more compact structure. By setting up the planetary reducer 11, space is effectively utilized, which helps to optimize vehicle design.

[0032] The powertrain also includes a first motor 12, whose stator 121 is disposed on the outer periphery of the planetary reducer 11, facilitating the compact integration of the first motor 12 and the planetary reducer 11. The rotor 122 of the first motor 12 is connected to the sun gear and disposed on the outer periphery of the stator 121 of the first motor 12. The first motor 12 can be configured as a generator; it can also be configured as an electric motor. When acting as a generator, the rotor 122 of the first motor 12 is driven to rotate via the transmission mechanism of the planetary reducer 11, achieving energy recovery and utilization, and improving the vehicle's energy efficiency. When acting as an electric motor, the first motor 12 can receive electrical energy from the battery system, drive the sun gear or planetary carrier to rotate, and then output power to provide the necessary power support for vehicle operation. By disposing of the rotor 122 of the first motor 12 on the outer periphery of the stator 121 of the first motor 12, not only is space saved for the arrangement of the planetary reducer 11, but the power density and torque density of the first motor 12 are also improved.

[0033] The powertrain also includes a reduction gear 13 and a differential 14. The input end of the reduction gear 13 is connected to the planetary carrier to further reduce the speed and increase the torque to meet the vehicle's driving needs. The differential 14 is connected to the output end of the reduction gear 13 to distribute power to the left and right wheels, ensuring that the left and right wheels can rotate at different speeds when the vehicle is turning, thereby improving the vehicle's handling and stability.

[0034] Therefore, according to the powertrain of this utility model, by setting the stator 121 of the first motor 12 on the outer periphery of the planetary reducer 11 and placing the rotor 122 on the outer periphery of the stator 121, efficient use of space and improvement of motor performance are achieved.

[0035] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the powertrain also includes a power unit 15, which is connected to a planetary carrier. The power output from the power unit 15 is transmitted to the planetary reducer 11 via the planetary carrier. On one hand, the power output from the power unit 15 can be transmitted to the first motor 12 via the planetary reducer 11. The first motor 12 operates as a generator, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy to achieve the charging function. On the other hand, the power output from the power unit 15 can be transmitted to the reducer 13, and then to the differential 14, ultimately driving the wheels. The powertrain can flexibly adjust the power distribution according to the actual operating needs of the vehicle, thereby improving energy efficiency and the overall performance of the vehicle. Specifically, the power unit 15 can be either an engine or a drive motor.

[0036] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the power unit 15 is equipped with an output shaft connected to the planetary carrier, and the output shaft passes through the sun gear and connects to the reducer 13. The power assembly also includes a transmission component 16, which is located at the end of the rotor 122 away from the power unit 15 and connects the rotor 122 to the sun gear. The power output from the power unit 15 can be directly transmitted to the planetary carrier through the output shaft. After the speed is reduced and the torque is increased by the planetary reducer 11, the power is further transmitted to the transmission component 16 through the sun gear. By setting the transmission component 16, effective coupling between the rotor 122 and the planetary gear system is achieved. The power generated by the power unit 15 is reduced in speed and increased in torque through the gear meshing of the planetary reducer 11. Subsequently, the enhanced power is output through the sun gear and transmitted to the rotor 122 via the transmission component 16, ultimately driving the rotor 122 to work, enabling the first motor 12 to generate electricity.

[0037] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the stator 121 is connected to the gear ring. By directly connecting the gear ring to the stator 121, efficient integration between the first motor 12 and the planetary reducer 11 is achieved, simplifying the structure of the powertrain, further optimizing the spatial layout, making the overall design more compact, and enhancing the stability of the motor structure.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this utility model, for example Figure 1 As shown, the powertrain includes a clutch 17, which has a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion that can be selectively engaged. The first engagement portion is connected to the input end of the reducer 13, and the second engagement portion is connected to the output shaft of the power unit 15. The clutch 17 allows for flexible control of power transmission between the power unit 15 and the reducer 13. When the first engagement portion is engaged with the second engagement portion, the power output from the power unit 15 can be transmitted to the reducer 13 via the output shaft, and then distributed to the wheels via the differential 14 to drive the vehicle. When the first engagement portion is disengaged from the second engagement portion, the power transmission between the power unit 15 and the reducer 13 is cut off, and the power output from the power unit 15 is used to drive the first motor 12 to generate electricity. The clutch 17 enables the powertrain to switch between multiple operating modes under different conditions, which not only improves the vehicle's power performance and energy efficiency but also enhances the adaptability and reliability of the powertrain, meeting diverse driving needs.

[0039] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the reducer 13 includes a first shaft 131 and a second shaft 132. A first engagement portion is provided on the first shaft 131. The second shaft 132 is linked to the first shaft 131 and connected to the input end of the differential 14. Through the linkage between the first shaft 131 and the second shaft 132, efficient power transmission and distribution can be achieved. When the first shaft 131 receives power input through the first engagement portion, the power, after being reduced in speed and increased in torque by the reducer 13, is transmitted to the input end of the differential 14 through the second shaft 132, and then distributed to the left and right wheels to drive the vehicle.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the powertrain also includes a second motor 18, which is a drive motor for outputting power. The output shaft of the second motor 18 is linked to the second shaft 132. Through the linkage between the second motor 18 and the second shaft 132, diversified power transmission and distribution can be achieved. When the second motor 18 is running, its output shaft transmits power to the second shaft 132, which then distributes the power to the left and right wheels through the reducer 13 and the differential 14, driving the vehicle. By setting the second motor 18, the vehicle can be driven by electric power, providing not only an additional power source but also enabling flexible switching of power output under different operating conditions. The second motor 18 allows the powertrain to operate in pure electric mode. When the power unit 15 is not working, the second motor 18 can drive the vehicle independently, achieving zero-emission driving; while in hybrid mode, the second motor 18 can work together with the power unit 15 to provide stronger power output or higher energy efficiency.

[0041] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first shaft gear 1311 is provided on the first shaft 131, and a second shaft first gear 1321, a second shaft second gear 1322, and a second shaft third gear 1323 are provided on the second shaft 132. The first shaft gear 1311 meshes with the second shaft first gear 1321, the second shaft second gear 1322 is linked with the output shaft of the second motor 18, and the second shaft third gear 1323 is linked with the input end of the differential 14.

[0042] The meshing of the first shaft gear 1311 and the second shaft first gear 1321 enables efficient power transmission and distribution. When the first shaft 131 receives power input through the first shaft gear 1311, the power is transmitted to the second shaft 132 through the second shaft first gear 1321, and then transmitted to the input end of the differential 14 through the second shaft third gear 1323, thereby distributing the power to the left and right wheels and driving the vehicle.

[0043] The second motor 18 can directly participate in power transmission by being linked to the output shaft of the second shaft 1322 via the second gear 1322. When the second motor 18 is running, its output shaft transmits power to the second shaft 132 via the second gear 1322, and then to the differential 14 via the third gear 1323, thus driving the vehicle.

[0044] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the motor is configured as an electric generator. By configuring the motor as an electric generator, the powertrain can operate efficiently under various working conditions. On the one hand, when the motor operates as an electric motor, it can receive electrical energy provided by the battery system, drive the sun gear or planetary carrier to rotate, and then output power to provide the power support required for vehicle driving; on the other hand, when the motor operates as a generator, it drives the rotor 122 of the motor to rotate through the transmission mechanism of the planetary reducer 11, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, realizing energy recovery and utilization, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the vehicle.

[0046] The vehicle according to this utility model includes the powertrain of any of the above embodiments. Because the vehicle according to this utility model includes the powertrain of any of the above embodiments, it achieves efficient space utilization and performance improvement.

[0048] Power generation mode: When clutch 17 is disengaged, power unit 15 is in operation, and its output power drives the first motor 12, which acts as a generator, through planetary reducer 11, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy and charging the battery system.
