DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0047] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings, which are to be considered in conjunction with the entire disclosure and wherein like references symbols designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views. The embodiments described below are merely exemplary for the purposes of explanation and are not to be construed as limiting the present disclosure.
[0048] A power system 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 13. Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a power system 100 that is applied to a vehicle, and the power system 100 can be used to output driving force or to recover energy generated by the vehicle during braking.
[0049] The power system 100 comprises an engine 1, a transmission shaft 3, a clutch 4 and a power motor 5.
[0050] The engine 1 has an engine output shaft 11, and the engine output shaft 11 is arranged vertically to the wheel drive shaft 2. The transmission shaft 3 is power-connected between the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2, so as to realize power transmission between the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel output shaft through the transmission shaft 3.
[0051] As shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8, the clutch 4 selectively connects the transmission shaft 3 and the wheel drive shaft 2, so that the transmission shaft 3 and the wheel drive shaft 2 can be selectively power-connected. When it is required to output driving force through the engine 1 to realize driving of the wheel drive shaft 2, the transmission shaft 3 and the wheel drive shaft 2 are power-engaged through the clutch 4, so as to transmit the power output by the engine 1 to the wheel drive shaft 2.
[0052] In some embodiments, the power motor 5 is directly connected to the wheel drive shaft 2, and driving force can be output to the wheel drive shaft 2 through the power motor 5, so as to drive the wheel drive shaft 2 through the power motor 5.
[0053] As shown in FIG. 3, the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2 are vertically arranged. That is, the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2 are spatially orthogonal. The engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2 are arranged in space with a spacing (for example, a vertical direction spacing).
[0054] In some embodiments, for example, the engine output shaft 11 is arranged above the wheel drive shaft 2, in the projection of the power system 100 in the vertical direction (for example, the up-down direction or the height direction), the projection of the engine output shaft 11 can intersect the projection of the wheel drive shaft 2, and the axial direction of the engine output shaft 11 and the axial direction of the wheel drive shaft 2 are perpendicular to each other, so that the engine 1 can be arranged in the upper area of the wheel drive shaft 2.
[0055] The engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2 are power-connected through the transmission shaft 3, so as to meet the arrangement requirement that the engine 1 and the wheel drive shaft 2 are arranged in the vertical direction. In this way, space can be reserved between the engine 1 and the wheel drive shaft 2, and devices such as the power motor 5 can be arranged in the reserved space, so as to make the layout of devices in the power system 100 compact, save the occupied space of the power system 100, and improve the space utilization of the whole vehicle.
[0056] It can be understood that in the power system 100 in some embodiments of the present disclosure, driving force can be output by at least one of the engine 1 and the power motor 5 to realize driving of the wheel drive shaft 2. That is, the power system 100 in some embodiments of the present disclosure is a hybrid power system, and driving of the wheel drive shaft 2 can be realized by the engine 1 and the power motor. For example, when the wheel drive shaft 2 is driven by the engine 1, the clutch 4 power-connects the transmission shaft 3 and the wheel drive shaft 2, and the driving force output by the engine 1 can be transmitted to the wheel drive shaft 2 through the transmission shaft 3 to realize driving of the wheel; when the wheel drive shaft 2 is driven by the power motor 5, the driving force output by the power motor 5 can directly act on the wheel drive shaft 2.
[0057] At present, in the power transmission system of a hybrid electric vehicle, multiple power devices are arranged, such as the engine 1, the motor and the fuel cell, and the hybrid electric vehicle usually adopts a combination of the engine 1 and the motor to output driving force. In the related art, the multiple power sources (such as the engine and the motor) in the power transmission system are arranged unreasonably, occupy a large space, and affect the layout of the power transmission system in the vehicle.
[0058] The device layout in the power system 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is compact, which can save the occupied space of the power system 100 and improve the space utilization of the power system 100 in the vehicle.
[0059] In some embodiments, the transmission shaft 3 can be provided with a first bevel gear 301 and a second bevel gear 302 at two ends thereof. The first bevel gear 301 is power-connected with the engine output shaft 11, and the second bevel gear 302 is power-connected with the wheel drive shaft 2.
[0060] For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the first bevel gear 301 and the second bevel gear 302 are arranged at the axial two ends of the transmission shaft 3, and the first bevel gear 301 and the second bevel gear 302 are respectively power-connected with the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2, so that the driving force output by the engine output shaft 11 can be transmitted to the wheel drive shaft 2 through the transmission shaft 3.
[0061] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the engine output shaft 11 is provided with a third bevel gear 111, and the third bevel gear 111 is in meshing cooperation with the first bevel gear 301. The wheel drive shaft 2 is provided with a fourth bevel gear 23 (such as the differential gear 72 in FIG. 3) arranged coaxially, and the fourth bevel gear 23 is power-connected with the wheel drive shaft 2 through the clutch 4. The fourth bevel gear 23 is in meshing cooperation with the second bevel gear 302. In this way, power transmission between the engine output shaft 11 and the transmission shaft 3, and between the transmission shaft 3 and the wheel drive shaft 2 can be realized. The relationship between the fourth bevel gear 23 and the differential gear 72 will be described later.
[0062] The third bevel gear 111 is fixedly sleeved on the engine output shaft 11, and can rotate synchronously with the engine output shaft 11. Through meshing of the third bevel gear 111 and the first bevel gear 301, the transmission shaft 3 can be driven to rotate around the central axis of the transmission shaft 3, and through meshing of the fourth bevel gear 23 and the second bevel gear 302, the fourth bevel gear 23 can be driven to rotate. When the clutch 4 power-connects the fourth bevel gear 23 to the wheel drive shaft 2, the wheel drive shaft 2 can be driven to rotate.
[0063] It can be understood that, since power transmission is achieved through meshing of the bevel gear pair (i.e., the first bevel gear 301 and the third bevel gear 111) between the engine output shaft 11 and the transmission shaft 3, the power output direction can be adjusted through the bevel gear pair, that is, rotation around the central axis of the engine output shaft 11 is adjusted to rotation around the central axis of the transmission shaft 3. Moreover, since power transmission is achieved through meshing of the bevel gear pair (i.e., the second bevel gear 302 and the fourth bevel gear 23) between the transmission shaft 3 and the wheel drive shaft 2, the power output direction can be adjusted through the bevel gear pair, that is, rotation around the central axis of the transmission shaft 3 is adjusted to rotation around the central axis of the fourth bevel gear 23. Thus, by arranging two sets of bevel gear pairs between the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2, the power output by the engine 1 can be output to the wheel drive shaft 2 after being reversed twice, so as to meet the power output requirement of the wheel drive shaft 2.
[0064] It should be noted that, in the related art, the engine output shaft 11 of the engine 1 is usually arranged in parallel with the wheel drive shaft 2, and the power motor 5 is also usually arranged in parallel with the wheel drive shaft 2. In this case, due to the size of the engine 1, the engine 1 is prone to interfere with the power motor 5, which is not conducive to arrangement of the engine 1 and the power motor 5, and leads to a relatively dispersed arrangement among the engine 1, the power motor 5 and the wheel drive shaft 2 in the related art, so that the power system 100 needs to occupy a relatively large arrangement space, affecting the space utilization of the vehicle.
[0065] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2 are arranged in a perpendicular arrangement manner, so that the engine 1 can be arranged in an area suitable for avoiding the power motor 5. For example, the engine 1 is arranged above the wheel drive shaft 2 and the power motor 5, so that a space for arranging the power motor 5 can be reserved between the engine 1 and the wheel drive shaft 2, so that the engine 1 and the power motor 5 are arranged compactly, so as to save the occupied space of the power system 100 and improve the space utilization of the vehicle.
[0066] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the transmission shaft 3 is arranged perpendicularly to the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2, respectively. That is, the transmission shaft 3 is perpendicular to the engine output shaft 11, and the transmission shaft 3 is perpendicular to the wheel drive shaft 2. When the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2 are both arranged in a horizontal direction, the transmission shaft 3 can be arranged in a vertical direction, so as to power-connect the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2 arranged in a vertical direction through the transmission shaft 3.
[0067] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the engine 1 is arranged directly above the wheel drive shaft 2, and the transmission shaft 3 is arranged in a vertical direction. The engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2 are both arranged in a horizontal direction, and the engine output shaft 11 is spatially orthogonal to the wheel drive shaft 2. The upper end of the transmission shaft 3 (e.g., the end of the transmission shaft 3 away from the wheel drive shaft 2) is power-connected to the third bevel gear 111 of the engine output shaft 11 through the first bevel gear 301, and the lower end of the transmission shaft 3 (e.g., the end of the transmission shaft 3 close to the wheel drive shaft 2) is power-connected to the fourth bevel gear 23 through the second bevel gear 302. In this way, the vertical arrangement of the engine 1 and the wheel drive shaft 2 can save the horizontal space occupied by the power system 100. Moreover, the power connection between the engine 1 and the wheel drive shaft 2 through the transmission shaft 3 is compact, so as to further reduce the space occupied by the power system 100 in the vertical direction.
[0068] In some embodiments, at least one pair of the first bevel gear 301 and the third bevel gear 111, and the second bevel gear 302 and the fourth bevel gear 23 is configured as a speed-reducing bevel gear pair, so as to form a speed-reducing mechanism between the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2, to realize speed-reducing and torque-increasing, and to improve the driving effect of the engine 1 on the wheel drive shaft 2.
[0069] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, when the second bevel gear 302 and the fourth bevel gear 23 are configured as a speed-reducing bevel gear pair, a first-stage speed-reducing mechanism can be formed between the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2, so as to improve the power transmission effect between the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2.
[0070] It can be understood that the second bevel gear 302 and the fourth bevel gear 23 are arranged close to the wheel drive shaft 2, that is, close to the bottom region of the power system 100, so that there is sufficient arrangement space at the arrangement position of the second bevel gear 302 and the fourth bevel gear 23, and the transmission ratio between the second bevel gear 302 and the fourth bevel gear 23 can be designed according to the transmission requirement. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the second bevel gear 302 and the fourth bevel gear 23 are configured as a speed-reducing bevel gear pair, that is, the fourth bevel gear 23 has more teeth than the second bevel gear 302.
[0071] As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, in some embodiments, the power system 100 further comprises a secondary reduction mechanism 6, which is power-connected between the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2. The driving force delivered by the engine output shaft 11 to the wheel drive shaft 2 is reduced by the secondary reduction mechanism 6, so as to improve the power output effect of the wheel drive shaft 2.
[0072] It should be noted that a multi-stage reduction mechanism can also be arranged between the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2 to meet the power output requirements of the power system 100.
[0073] As shown in FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the transmission shaft 3 comprises a first transmission shaft 31 and a second transmission shaft 32. The first transmission shaft 31 has a first end 311 and a second end 312, and the first end 311 is provided with a first bevel gear 301. The first bevel gear 301 is power-connected with the engine output shaft 11. The second transmission shaft 32 has a third end 321 and a fourth end 322, and the third end 321 is provided with a second bevel gear 302. The second bevel gear 302 is power-connected with the clutch 4 (such as the fourth bevel gear 23 on the clutch 4), and the secondary reduction mechanism 6 is connected between the second end 312 and the fourth end 322.
[0074] The transmission shaft 3 comprises the first transmission shaft 31 and the second transmission shaft 32, and the first transmission shaft 31 and the second transmission shaft 32 are respectively power-connected with the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2. The secondary reduction mechanism 6 is power-connected between the first transmission shaft 31 and the second transmission shaft 32. In this way, the power transmission between the first transmission shaft 31 and the second transmission shaft 32 is realized, so that the driving force output by the engine output shaft 11 can be transmitted to the wheel drive shaft 2 after being reduced by the transmission shaft 3 and the secondary reduction mechanism 6, thereby improving the torque output by the wheel drive shaft 2 and further improving the driving effect of the power system 100 on the wheels.
[0075] In this case, the engine output shaft 11 is provided with a third bevel gear 111, which is engaged with the first bevel gear 301. The wheel drive shaft 2 is provided with a fourth bevel gear 23, which is engaged with the second bevel gear 302. In this way, two sets of bevel gear pairs are arranged between the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2, and the output direction of the driving force can be reversed by the bevel gear pairs, so as to power-connect the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2 arranged orthogonally in space.
[0076] As shown in FIG. 5, the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2 are arranged in a vertical direction, and the first transmission shaft 31 connected with the engine output shaft 11 and the second transmission shaft 32 connected with the wheel drive shaft 2 are arranged in the vertical direction. That is, in the power system 100, the first end 311 is the upper end of the first transmission shaft 31, the second end 312 is the lower end of the first transmission shaft 31, the third end 321 is the lower end of the second transmission shaft 32, and the fourth end 322 is the upper end of the second transmission shaft 32. In the vertical direction, the secondary reduction mechanism 6 is arranged between the power connection position of the first transmission shaft 31 and the engine output shaft 11 and the power connection position of the second transmission shaft 32 and the wheel drive shaft 2, so that the transmission mechanism between the engine output shaft 11 and the wheel drive shaft 2 is compact in layout and saves space.
[0077] As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the secondary reduction mechanism 6 includes a first reduction gear pair 61 and a second reduction gear pair 62. The first reduction gear pair 61 is connected with the second end 312 of the first transmission shaft 31, and the second reduction gear pair 62 is connected between the first reduction gear pair 61 and the fourth end 322 of the second transmission shaft 32, so that the reduction function is realized in sequence through the first reduction gear pair 61 and the second reduction gear pair 62, and the power output effect is improved.
[0078] As shown in FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the first reduction gear pair 61 includes a first gear 611 and a second gear 612 in meshing cooperation, and the first gear 611 is arranged at the second end 312 of the first transmission shaft 31. The second reduction gear pair 62 includes a third gear 621 and a fourth gear 622 in meshing cooperation, the third gear 621 is coaxially connected with the second gear 612, and the fourth gear 622 is arranged at the fourth end 322 of the second transmission shaft 32.
[0079] As shown in FIG. 7, the secondary reduction mechanism 6 further includes a first synchronous shaft 661, and the second gear 612 and the third gear 621 are connected through the first synchronous shaft 661, so that the second gear 612 and the third gear 621 can rotate synchronously. The first transmission shaft 31 can drive the first gear 611 to rotate, and the first gear 611 and the second gear 612 are in meshing cooperation to drive the first synchronous shaft 661 and the third gear 621 to rotate. Then, the power is transmitted to the second transmission shaft 32 through the meshing cooperation of the third gear 621 and the fourth gear 622, so that the power is transmitted to the fourth bevel gear 23 through the second transmission shaft 32.
[0080] As shown in FIG. 8, in some embodiments, the secondary reduction mechanism 6 further comprises a power engagement portion 69. The power engagement portion 69 is connected to the fifth reduction gear pair 65, and the power engagement portion 69 is arranged between the third reduction gear pair 63 and the fourth reduction gear pair 64, and the power engagement portion 69 is selectively power engaged with the third reduction gear pair 63 or the fourth reduction gear pair 64.

[0101] In some embodiments, the engine 1 is configured as a horizontally opposed engine. The pistons in the horizontally opposed engine are averagely distributed on both sides of the crankshaft and move left and right in the horizontal direction. The torques generated by the pistons on both sides can be offset to each other to reduce the vibration during the vehicle driving and to reduce the height and length dimensions of the engine 1, thereby being beneficial to reduce the height of the gravity center of the whole vehicle and to improve the driving stability of the vehicle.
[0102] It should be noted that the horizontally opposed engine is usually arranged on the center line of the whole vehicle, and accordingly, the crankshaft of the horizontally opposed engine is also located at the center position of the vehicle in the width direction.
[0103] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the power motor 5 is configured as a double motor. The double motor is arranged below the horizontally opposed engine, and the double motor is arranged in the space between the engine 1 and the wheel drive shaft 2, and near the wheel drive shaft 2, so that the layout among the double motor, the engine 1 and the wheel drive shaft 2 is compact, and the size of the power system 100 in the vertical direction can be saved.
[0104] As shown in FIGS. 6-8, the double motor includes a first motor 51 and a second motor 52, and the wheel drive shaft 2 includes a first drive shaft 21 and a second drive shaft 22. The first motor 51 is power connected with the first drive shaft 21 and is configured to drive the first drive shaft 21 to rotate. The second motor 52 is power connected with the second drive shaft 22 and is configured to drive the second motor 52 to rotate.
[0105] In some embodiments, a speed reduction mechanism is arranged between the double motor and the wheel drive shaft 2. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6-8, a first speed reduction mechanism 67 is arranged between the first motor 51 and the first drive shaft 21, and a second speed reduction mechanism 68 is arranged between the second motor 52 and the second drive shaft 22. By arranging the speed reduction mechanism, the power output effect of the double motor can be improved.
[0106] It should be noted that each speed reduction mechanism (i.e., the first speed reduction mechanism 67 or the second speed reduction mechanism 68) can be composed of multiple gear pairs to achieve the speed reduction function, and the present disclosure does not limit the configuration of the speed reduction mechanism.
[0107] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the power system 100 further includes a differential housing 8. The differential housing 8 forms an arrangement space for arranging the electronic differential 7. And the engine 1 is arranged above the differential housing 8, and the transmission shaft 3 can be arranged in the top wall of the differential housing 8 in the vertical direction and is power connected with the differential gear 72 of the electronic differential 7.
[0108] The top wall of the differential housing 8 can support the engine 1. The engine 1 can be fixedly matched with the top wall of the differential housing 8, so as to arrange the engine 1 in the area above the wheel drive shaft 2, and the engine 1 is arranged near the wheel drive shaft 2.
[0109] In some embodiments, the power motor 5 can be arranged on both sides of the differential housing 8 to arrange the power motor 5 close to the wheel drive shaft 2, so that the layout between the power motor 5 and the wheel drive shaft 2 is compact. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the power motor 5 is arranged at the side wall of the differential housing 8, and the housing structure of the power motor 5 can be integrated on the differential housing 8. Moreover, the reduction mechanism connected between the power motor 5 and the wheel drive shaft 2 can also be arranged in the accommodation space formed by the side wall of the differential housing 8. In this way, by arranging the power motor 5 at the lateral position of the differential housing 8, the required layout space of the power motor 5 can be saved.
[0110] Here, the power motor 5 includes a first motor 51 and a second motor 52, which can be arranged on both sides of the differential housing 8 and connected with the first drive shaft 21 and the second drive shaft 22 in the wheel drive shaft 2, respectively. In this way, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the engine 1 is arranged above the differential housing 8, and the power motor 5 is arranged on both sides of the differential housing 8, so that the layout between the devices in the power system 100 is compact, the horizontal space occupied by the power system 100 can be saved, and the overall structure of the power system 100 is square, which facilitates the layout of the power system 100 in the vehicle.
[0111] In some embodiments, the differential housing 8 contains lubricating liquid, which is used to lubricate the electronic differential 7 to prolong the service life of the electronic differential 7.
[0112] As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic differential 7 is arranged in the differential housing 8, and the lubricating liquid can lubricate the electronic differential 7 to prevent the temperature of the electronic differential 7 from being too high and prolong the service life of the electronic differential 7. The differential gear 72 of the electronic differential 7 is engaged with the transmission shaft 3, and the lubricating liquid can also lubricate between the transmission shaft 3 and the differential gear 72.
[0113] As shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, in some embodiments, the power system 100 further includes a generator 9, which is directly connected with the engine 1. In this way, the generator 9 can be driven by the engine 1 to generate electricity, so as to realize the electricity generation function of the generator 9.
[0114] As shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, the generator 9 is connected with the engine output shaft 11. In this way, the generator 9 can generate electricity by using the kinetic energy output by the engine 1 to realize extended-range cruising and improve the cruising ability of the vehicle. Of course, the generator 9 can also output driving force to output power to the transmission shaft 3 through the engine output shaft 11 to realize wheel drive. Moreover, the generator 9 can also be driven by electricity to rotate the engine output shaft 11 to drive the engine 1 to the ignition speed to ignite the engine 1, so as to realize the starting function of the engine 1.
[0115] It can be understood that the power system 100 has two energy feedback modes when the vehicle is in braking condition. The first energy feedback mode is that when the clutch 4 powerfully connects the differential gear 72 with the wheel drive shaft 2, the wheel can drag the wheel drive shaft 2 and drive the generator 9 and the double motor to generate electricity, thereby realizing energy feedback. The second energy feedback mode is that when the clutch 4 disconnects the differential gear 72 from the wheel drive shaft 2, the wheel drags the wheel drive shaft and drives the double motor to generate electricity, thereby realizing energy feedback.
[0116] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the generator 9 is located above the differential housing 8, and the top of the differential housing 8 is used to support the generator 9. In this way, the generator 9 can be supported and fixed by the differential housing 8, so as to be arranged at a position suitable for cooperating with the engine 1 (such as the above-mentioned horizontally opposed engine).
[0117] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the generator 9 is arranged on one side of the engine 1 in the axial direction, and the engine 1 and the generator 9 are both arranged above the transmission shaft 3, so that the engine 1 and the generator 9 can be arranged in the upper area of the electronic differential 7, and the transmission shaft 3 can be arranged above the middle part of the wheel drive shaft 2, i.e., above the upper area of the electronic differential 7. In this way, the engine output shaft 11 can be powerfully connected with the electronic differential 7 through the transmission shaft 3 and the transmission mechanism (such as the above-mentioned two-stage reduction mechanism 6).
[0118] Therefore, in the power system 100, the engine 1 and the generator 9 are both arranged above the differential housing 8, and the engine output shaft 11 of the engine 1 is connected with the generator 9, so that the engine 1 can be driven to realize the electricity generation function of the generator 9, and the generator 9 can drive the engine output shaft 11 to rotate to realize the ignition function of the engine 1. The engine 1 and the generator 9 are arranged compactly, so that the overall structure of the power system 100 is square, and the power system 100 is convenient to arrange in the whole vehicle.

[0122] In this mode, the first drive shaft 21 and the second drive shaft 22 are driven by the first motor 51 and the second motor 52 respectively, so that the first drive shaft 21 and the second drive shaft 22 can realize differential motion. The electronic differential 7 is driven by the first drive shaft 21 and the second drive shaft 22 to idle.

[0132] (6) Second drive mode
[0133] The clutch 4 is engaged, the engine 1 is in the starting condition, and the generator 9 and the power motor 5 are in the power-off state to idle.

[0135] The clutch 4 is engaged, the engine 1 is in the starting mode, the generator 9 is in the power-off state and idles, and the power motor 5 consumes electric energy to work.
