[0032] Referring to FIG. 2, a vehicle 100 may be equipped with a winch 16 to assist the vehicle 100 in getting unstuck or to assist another vehicle 100 in getting unstuck. The vehicle includes a drive system 10. The drive system 10 includes a motor 12, a first accessory 14, and a winch 16. One end of a cable of the winch 16 is fastened to the winch 16 and the other end is connected to a connector that enables the winch 16 to be fastened to a target object (such as other vehicles, or a fastened object) to anchor the vehicle 100 thereto. The winch 16 is provided with a rotation shaft. When the motor is connected to the winch 16, an output shaft 19 of the motor can be connected to the rotation shaft. When the motor rotates, the output shaft 19 of the motor drives the rotation shaft to rotate, thereby driving the winch 16 to release or tighten the cable. Optionally, the winch 16 includes a winding disk. The cable can be wound on the winding disk. The winding disk can be connected to the rotation shaft. The cable may be tightened or released when the winding disk rotates.

[0033] Mounting the winch 16 on the vehicle 100 requires a large mounting space and the winch 16 is heavy. In related technologies, an additional motor is required to drive the winch to rotate. Most of motors that drive the winch 16 to rotate are low-voltage motors, and driving the winch with a low voltage has the problems of limited power, short continuous operating time, and low operating efficiency.

[0034] The drive system for the vehicle 100 according to the implementation of this application is configured for the first accessory 14 and the winch 16 to be powered by the motor 12. The motor 12 may be a high-voltage motor having an operating voltage of not less than 250 volts (V), so that the motor 14 provides greater power for the first accessory 14 and the winch 16. The low-voltage motor is replaced by the high-voltage motor, thereby preventing operation of the winch 16 from being suspended due to overheating protection caused by an excessive current of the low-voltage motor. In addition, the high-voltage motor of the first accessory 14 can be reused as a power source of the winch 16, thereby optimizing layout space of the winch 16 and reducing entire costs of the vehicle. The first accessory 14 may be any accessory on the vehicle 100 other than the winch 16. The first accessory 14 is driven by the motor 12. The first accessory 14 can implement some functions of the vehicle 100.

[0035] In some examples, the operating voltage of the motor 12 may be 250 V, 270 V, 300 V, 330 V, 360 V, 400 V, 450 V, 500 V, 550 V, 600 V, or other voltages not less than 250 V. An upper limit of the operating voltage of the motor 12 can be set according to actual situations, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0036] Optionally, to supply power to the motor 12, the drive system 10 may include a battery 25, and the battery 25 can provide an operating voltage of no less than 250 volts for the motor 12. The battery 25 includes but is not limited to a lithium-ion battery, a lead-acid battery, a nickelcadmium battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, or the like.

[0037] Further, the battery 25 includes a power battery 26 of the vehicle. Therefore, there is no need to provide an additional battery, thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle 100. Specifically, the power battery 26 includes a battery module and a power distribution box. The power distribution box is electrically connected to the drive system 10 and the battery module. The power distribution box controls, based on requirements of the drive system 10, the battery module to provide an operating voltage for the drive system 10.

[0038] It will be understood that a voltage of the power battery 26 is usually as high as hundreds of volts. The motor 12 is driven 18 by the power battery 26. In the case of ensuring specified power, an operating current of the motor 12 can be reduced, thereby reducing heat generated by the motor 12, and enabling the winch 16 to operate continuously.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the operating voltage of the first motor 12 may be greater than 250 V.

[0040] The drive system 10 can be mounted on an electric vehicle or a hybrid or extended-range electric vehicle having the power battery 26. The power battery 26 on the vehicle 100 serves as a power supply of the motor 12. In this way, there is no need to provide an additional power supply apparatus for the drive system 10, which saves mounting space of the drive system 10 and reduces mounting weight, and further reduces costs of the drive system 10.

[0041] The power battery 26 is used to supply power to the motor 12. A hydraulic motor is replaced by the high-voltage motor, preventing a hydraulic system from shutting down due to an excessively high temperature when the winch 16 operates continuously, thereby avoiding rescue interruption. Alternatively, the low-voltage motor is replaced by the high-voltage motor. Because the operating voltage of the high-voltage motor is high, the high-voltage motor can achieve an efficiency of up to 80%, and generates heat more slowly during operation. In addition, the power battery 26 of the vehicle 100 is directly used, and there is no need to additionally provide a power supply for the drive system 10, thereby saving mounting space and manufacturing costs.

[0042] Optionally, the power battery 26 of the vehicle 100 provides an operating voltage of 550 V for the motor 12.

[0043] The vehicle 100 includes, but is not limited to, a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, an extended-range electric vehicle, or the like.

[0044] Optionally, the motor 12 is a drive motor of the vehicle 100. The drive motor is configured to drive wheels of the vehicle 100. The drive motor can be mounted in the front or rear of the vehicle. The winch 16 and the wheels share the drive motor. The winch 16 can be mounted in the front or rear of the vehicle 100. Therefore, the drive motor that drives the wheels (the first accessory 14) can be reused as a power source of the winch 16, thereby optimizing layout space of the winch 16 and reducing entire costs of the vehicle. The drive motor drives the vehicle 100 to move. The drive motor is used to drive the winch 16, which can supply sufficient power to the winch 16.

[0045] Optionally, the winch 16 and the motor 12 are configured to be disposed in a front compartment 27 of the vehicle 100. Specifically, the motor 12 may include a compressor motor 28. The compressor motor 28 of the vehicle 100 is disposed in the front compartment 17 of the vehicle 100. The winch 16 can be disposed in the front compartment 27 of the vehicle 100 and can be driven by the compressor motor 28. Therefore, the compressor motor 28 that drives a compressor 30 (the first accessory 14) can be reused as a power source of the winch 16. The compressor motor 28 can be disposed in close proximity to the winch 16, resulting in a short transmission distance and a good transmission effect.

[0046] The first accessory 14 includes the compressor 30 disposed in the front compartment 17. In this way, the winch 16 and the compressor 30 share one high-voltage motor, thereby saving mounting space.

[0047] The winch 16 is disposed in the front compartment 17 of the vehicle 100, which is convenient to use. Typically, the compressor 30 and the compressor motor 28 of the vehicle 100 are also disposed in the front compartment 17. Therefore, the winch 16 and the compressor 30 may share the compressor motor 28, thereby saving mounting space of the winch 16, reducing a weight of the winch 16, reducing a transmission distance, and enhancing transmission efficiency.

[0048] Optionally, the motor 12 includes a drive motor and a compressor motor of the vehicle. The winches 16 can be mounted in the front and rear of the vehicle 100. The winch 16 mounted in the front of the vehicle 100 shares the compressor motor with a compressor, and the winch 16 mounted in the rear of the vehicle 100 shares the drive motor with wheels.

[0049] In practical applications, the motor 12 can be selected based on requirements and an arrangement position of the winch 16.

[0050] The first accessory 14 may be a compressor 30. Alternatively, the first accessory 14 may be another apparatus that needs to be driven by the motor 12.

[0051] The winch 16 is mounted on the vehicle 100 and shares the motor 12 with the first accessory 14, thereby saving mounting space on the vehicle 100 and reducing a weight of the winch 16.

[0052] Optionally, to control a power output object of the motor 12, the drive system 10 may include a controller 20, a switch member, and a reducer 22. The controller is connected to the switch member for selectively connecting the motor 12 to the first accessory 14 or the winch 16.

[0054] The controller 20 is connected to and controls the switch member, and the motor 12 can be controlled to connect to the first accessory 14 or the winch 16 according to the first control instruction or the second control instruction.

[0055] Optionally, the first control instruction and the second control instruction may be generated by using a physical control switch. The physical switch includes, but is not limited to, a knob switch, a key switch, a slide adjustment switch, or the like disposed within the vehicle 100. The controller 20 is connected to the physical switch, and the user operates the physical switch to generate the first control instruction and the second control instruction.

[0056] The first control instruction controls the switch member to connect the motor 12 to the first accessory 14 and disconnect the motor 12 from the winch 16.

[0057] When the motor 12 is the compressor motor 28, the user turns on an air conditioner in the vehicle 100, and the first control instruction is generated to control the switch member, thereby connecting the compressor motor 28 to the compressor 30 and disconnecting the compressor motor 28 form the winch 16. In this case, the compressor motor 28 operates, and an air conditioning system of the vehicle 100 starts to operate.

[0058] When the motor 12 is the drive motor, upon operating an ignition switch of the vehicle 100 by the user, the first control instruction is generated to control the switch member, thereby connecting the drive motor to the wheels and disconnecting the drive motor form the winch 16. In this case, the drive motor operates, and the vehicle 100 can drive normally.

[0059] A winch control switch is disposed in the vehicle. When the user operates the winch control switch, the second control instruction is generated to control the switch member, thereby connecting the motor 12 to the winch 16 and disconnecting the motor 12 from the first accessory 14.

[0060] Optionally, the winch control switch includes a cable releasing button and a cable retracting button. When the user presses the cable releasing button, a second control instruction for cable releasing is generated. The controller 20 can receive the second control instruction for cable releasing, control the switch member to disconnect the motor 12 from the first accessory 14 and connect the motor 12 to the winch 16, and control the motor 12 to drive the winch 16 to rotate, so that the cable on the winch 16 can be released.

[0061] After the user fastens the connector on the cable to the target object, a second control instruction for cable retracting is generated when the user presses the cable retracting button. The controller 20 can receive the second control instruction for cable retracting, and control the motor 12 to drive the winch 16 to rotate in a reverse direction, tightening the cable on the winch 16, and thereby moving the vehicle 100 and the target object closer to each other.

[0062] Further, the first control instruction and the second control instruction may further include control over a rotational speed and a rotational direction of the motor 12. The controller 20 is configured to control the rotational speed and / or the rotational direction of the motor 12 according to the first control instruction; and control the rotational speed and / or the rotational direction of the motor 12 according to the second control instruction. In this way, the motor 12 can reach an operating state required by the user.

[0063] Optionally, the motor 12 is a compressor motor 28, and the compressor motor 28 is connected to the compressor 30. When the user adjusts an air outlet temperature of the air conditioner, the generated first control instruction further includes controlling the rotational speed of the compressor motor 28.

[0065] Optionally, the motor 12 is connected to the winch 16, and a cable retracting button of the winch control switch may have a plurality of selectable positions. For example, the cable retracting button has two positions, and the rotational speed for the second control instruction that is generated at each position is different. When the user selects different positions of the cable retracting button, the controller 20 controls, according to the second control instruction, the motor 12 to rotate at a preset rotational speed for each position, thereby controlling the winch 16 to move the vehicle or a hook fastener at different speeds.

[0066] Optionally, the first control instruction and the second control instruction may be generated by using a virtual control switch. The virtual control switch may be disposed on a control platform of the vehicle 100, for example, the second control instruction is generated by using a virtual control switch, that controls the winch, on an in-vehicle display screen.
