When the vehicle is traveling at high speed, the engine output shaft can connect to the power output shaft, allowing the engine to directly drive the vehicle.

[0057] Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are vehicles that use multiple energy sources, typically a conventional engine (ICE) using liquid fuel and an electric motor using electricity. This allows HEVs to operate in multiple driving modes. However, due to limited battery capacity, the vehicle is primarily powered by engine combustion. Existing hybrid systems, however, have complex overall structures, are difficult to implement, and have high fuel consumption.
[0058] Based on this, the present invention proposes a hybrid system. The aim is to solve the problem of how to design a hybrid system with a compact layout and low energy consumption. Figures 1 to 5 are schematic diagrams of the structure of the hybrid system provided by the present invention; Figure 14 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the control module of the hardware operating environment involved in the embodiment of the invention; Figure 15 is a flowchart of the control method of the hybrid system provided by the present invention.
[0059] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5. In one embodiment of the present invention, the hybrid system 100 includes a power output shaft 1, a power module 2, a clutch module 3, and a control module. The power module 2 includes an engine, a first drive motor, and a second drive motor. The engine has an engine output shaft 21, the first drive motor has a first motor shaft 22, and the second drive motor has a second motor shaft 23. The first motor shaft 22 is connected to the engine output shaft 21 via a first transmission assembly 5. The engine output shaft 21 is connected to the power output shaft 1 via a first transmission reduction mechanism 4. The second motor shaft 23 is connected to the power output shaft 1 via a second transmission reduction mechanism. The clutch module 3 is located between the power module 2 and the power output shaft 1 and is used to selectively control the connection and disconnection of the engine output shaft 21 and / or the first motor shaft 22 with the first transmission reduction mechanism 4. The control module is electrically connected to the power module 2 and the clutch module 3.
[0060] In the technical solution of this invention, the power output shaft 1 is provided to drive the vehicle. The first transmission reduction mechanism 4 is provided to connect the engine output shaft 21 and / or the first drive motor to the power output shaft 1, allowing the torque of the engine and / or the first drive motor to be transmitted to the power output shaft 1. The second transmission reduction mechanism is provided to directly connect the second motor shaft 23 to the power output shaft 1, allowing the torque of the second drive motor to be transmitted to the power output shaft 1. The clutch module 3 is provided to control the connection and disconnection between the engine output shaft 21 and / or the first motor shaft 22 and the power output shaft 1, thereby controlling the connection and disconnection of the engine output shaft 21 and / or the first motor shaft 22 to the power output shaft 1. Alternatively, the first motor shaft 22 can be connected to the power output shaft 1. By setting the control module to control the operation of the power module 2 and the clutch module 3, the engine, the first drive motor, and the second drive motor can drive the vehicle. When the vehicle is traveling at high speed, the engine output shaft 21 can connect to the power output shaft 1, allowing the engine to directly drive the vehicle. When the vehicle is traveling at low speed, the first motor shaft 22 and / or the second motor shaft 23 can connect to the power output shaft 1, allowing the first drive motor and / or the second drive motor to drive the vehicle. This allows the engine to operate in its high-efficiency range for extended periods, which helps reduce overall vehicle fuel consumption and has a simple structure.
[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first transmission reduction mechanism 4 includes a first transmission shaft 41 and a first transmission reduction structure 42. The first transmission shaft 41 is sleeved on the engine output shaft, and the first transmission reduction structure 42 is disposed between the first transmission shaft 41 and the power output shaft 1 for transmission connection between the first transmission shaft 41 and the power output shaft 1. Thus, by setting the first transmission shaft 41 to connect with the engine output shaft 21 and / or the first motor shaft 22, and by setting the first transmission reduction structure 42 to connect the first transmission shaft 41 to the power output shaft 1, the torque of the engine output shaft 21 and / or the first motor shaft 22 can be transmitted to the power output shaft 1, so that the engine and / or the first drive motor can drive the vehicle.
[0062] To control the connection and disconnection between the engine output shaft 21 and the power output shaft 1, in one embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG1, the clutch module 3 includes a first clutch module 31 disposed between the engine output shaft 21 and the first transmission shaft 41, for selectively controlling the engagement and disengagement of the engine output shaft 21 and the first transmission shaft 41. When the first clutch module 31 is closed, the engine output shaft 21 is engaged with the first transmission shaft 41, thereby connecting the engine output shaft 21 and the first transmission shaft 41. When the first clutch module 31 is disengaged, the engine output shaft 21 is disengaged from the first transmission shaft 41, thereby disconnecting the engine output shaft 21 from the first transmission shaft 41. Thus, by the movement of the first clutch module 31, the engagement and disengagement of the engine output shaft 21 and the first transmission shaft 41 can be controlled, thereby controlling the connection and disconnection of the engine output shaft 21 and the power output shaft 1. It is understood that the first clutch module 31 can be a clutch or a synchronizer, etc., and the present invention does not limit it to this.
[0063] Further, referring to Figure 2, the clutch module 3 is also provided with a second clutch module 32 between the engine and the engine output shaft 21, which is used to selectively control the connection between the engine and the engine output shaft 21. When the second clutch module 32 is closed, the engine output shaft 21 is connected to the engine, so that the engine is connected to the engine output shaft 21. When the second clutch module 32 is open, the engine is disconnected from the engine output shaft 21. In this way, the connection between the engine and the engine output shaft 21 can be controlled by the movement of the second clutch module 32, so that the engine can be coupled or decoupled from the first drive motor.
[0064] To control the connection and disconnection between the engine output shaft 21 and the power output shaft 1, in another embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG4, the clutch module 3 includes a first clutch module 31 and a second clutch module 32. The first clutch module 31 is disposed between the engine output shaft and the first motor shaft 22, and is used to selectively control the engagement and disengagement of the engine output shaft 21 and the first motor shaft 22. The second clutch module 32 is disposed between the first motor shaft 22 and the first transmission shaft 41, and is used to selectively control the engagement and disengagement of the first motor shaft 22 and the first transmission shaft 41. When the first clutch module 31 moves to the left, the engine output shaft 21 engages with the first motor shaft 22, thereby connecting the engine output shaft 21 and the first motor shaft 22. When the first clutch module 31 moves to the left, the clutch module 32 engages with the first motor shaft 22. When the clutch moves to the right, the engine output shaft 21 separates from the first motor shaft 22, thus disconnecting the engine output shaft 21 from the first motor shaft 22. When the second clutch module 32 moves to the left, the first motor shaft 22 engages with the first transmission shaft 41, thus connecting the first motor shaft 22 to the first transmission shaft 41. When the second clutch moves to the right, the first motor shaft 22 separates from the first transmission shaft 41, thus disconnecting the first motor shaft 22 from the first transmission shaft 41. In this way, the engagement and disengagement of the engine output shaft 21 and / or the first motor shaft 22 with the first transmission shaft 41 are controlled by the movement of the first clutch module 31 and the second clutch module 32, thereby controlling the connection and disconnection of the engine output shaft 21 and / or the first motor shaft 22 with the power output shaft 1.
[0065] In order to transmit the torque of the first drive shaft 41 to the power output shaft 1, in one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 to 3, the first transmission reduction structure 42 further includes a second drive shaft 421, a first transmission gear set 422, and a second transmission gear set 423. The second drive shaft 421 extends axially along the engine output shaft 21 and is radially spaced from the engine output shaft 21. The first transmission gear set 422 is disposed between the first drive shaft 41 and the second drive shaft 421, and the second transmission gear set 423 is disposed on the second drive shaft 421. Between the power output shaft 1 and the first transmission shaft 41, the first transmission gear set 422 and the second transmission gear set 423 are arranged. The first transmission gear set 422 connects the first transmission shaft 41 and the second transmission shaft 421, so that the torque of the first transmission shaft 41 can be transmitted to the second transmission shaft 421. The second transmission gear set 423 connects the second transmission shaft 421 to the power output shaft 1, so that the torque of the second transmission shaft 421 can be transmitted to the power output shaft 1. Further, the transmission ratio of the first transmission gear set 422 and the transmission ratio of the second transmission gear set 423 can be the same or different. The present invention does not limit this. Specifically, in this embodiment, the transmission ratios of the first transmission gear set 422 and the second transmission gear set 423 are different. Thus, different transmission ratios are used so that the total transmission ratio of the first transmission gear set 422 and the second transmission gear set 423 meets the driving requirements of the vehicle.
[0066] Furthermore, the first transmission reduction mechanism 4 also includes a third transmission gear set 424 disposed between the engine output shaft 21 and the second transmission shaft 421. The transmission ratio of the third transmission gear set 424 is different from that of the first transmission gear shaft. The clutch module 3 also includes a third clutch module 33 disposed on the first transmission shaft 41, used to selectively control the engagement and disengagement of the first transmission gear set 422 or the third transmission gear set 424 with the second transmission shaft 421. When the third clutch structure moves to the left side, the third clutch structure couples with the first transmission gear set 422, so that the first transmission shaft 41 is connected to the second transmission shaft 421 through the first transmission gear set 422. When the third clutch structure moves to the middle, the third clutch structure disengages from the first transmission gear shaft and the third transmission gear set 424, so that the first transmission shaft 41 is engaged with the second transmission shaft 421. When the second drive shaft 421 is disconnected, and the third clutch structure moves to the right, the third clutch structure couples with the third transmission gear set 424, so that the first drive shaft 41 is connected to the second drive shaft 421 through the third transmission gear set 424. Thus, by setting the movement of the third clutch structure, the first drive shaft 41 can be connected to the second drive shaft 421 through either the first transmission gear set 422 or the third transmission gear set 424. At the same time, the transmission ratio of the first transmission gear set 422 is different from that of the third transmission gear set 424, so that the hybrid system 100 can form two output gears, allowing the engine to drive directly in both low and high gears. This helps to expand the output range of the engine and improve the power output of the hybrid system 100, making the hybrid system 100 suitable for off-road vehicles.
[0067] There are various ways to arrange the first motor shaft 22 and / or the second motor shaft 23 with the engine output shaft 21, such as parallel arrangement or perpendicular arrangement. This invention does not limit this. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first motor shaft 22 and / or the second motor shaft 23 are arranged in parallel with the engine output shaft 21. This arrangement reduces the axial dimension of the hybrid system 100 along the engine output shaft 21, making the layout of the hybrid system 100 more compact and enabling the hybrid system 100 to adapt to different vehicle models.
[0068] In order to connect the engine output shaft 21 to the first motor shaft 22, in this embodiment, the hybrid system 100 further includes a first transmission component 5. The first transmission component 5 includes a first transmission gear, a second transmission gear, and a third transmission gear. The first transmission gear is located on the engine output shaft 21, the second transmission gear is located on the first motor shaft 22, and the third transmission gear meshes with the first transmission gear and the second transmission gear. In this way, by setting multiple transmission gears, the engine output shaft 21 and the first motor shaft 22 can be connected, and the distance between the engine output shaft 21 and the first motor shaft 22 can be increased to avoid interference.
[0069] In order to connect the second motor shaft 23 to the power output shaft 1, in this embodiment, the second transmission reduction mechanism 6 includes a fourth transmission gear set. The fourth transmission gear set includes two meshing fourth transmission gears. One of the two fourth transmission gears is located on the power output shaft 1, and the other is located on the second motor shaft 23. In this way, by setting the fourth transmission gear set to connect the second motor shaft 23 to the power output shaft 1, speed is reduced and torque is increased, so that the second drive motor has enough power to drive the vehicle, thereby making the hybrid system 100 suitable for off-road vehicles.
[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hybrid system 100 further includes a differential structure 7 that is drively connected to the first transmission reduction mechanism 4 or the power output shaft 1, for selectively controlling the on / off state of the output shaft of the first transmission reduction mechanism 4 or the power output shaft 1 and the differential structure 7. The clutch module 3 includes the differential structure 7. Thus, by setting the differential structure 7, the on / off state of the power output shaft 1 can be controlled so that the power output shaft 1 can drive the vehicle or stop driving the vehicle.
[0071] In order to make the hybrid system 100 suitable for longitudinally mounted vehicles, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the differential structure 7 is connected to the power output shaft 1, and the output shaft of the differential structure 7 is orthogonally arranged with the engine output shaft 21, so that the hybrid system 100 can be longitudinally mounted, thereby enabling the hybrid system 100 to be adapted to longitudinally mounted vehicles.
[0072] In order to make the hybrid system 100 suitable for transversely mounted vehicles, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4, the differential structure 7 is connected to the first transmission reduction mechanism 4, and the output shaft of the differential structure 7 is arranged in parallel with the engine output shaft 21. The power output shaft 1 includes the output shaft of the differential, so that the hybrid system can be arranged transversely, thereby enabling the hybrid system 100 to be adapted to transversely mounted vehicles.
[0073] The number of differential structures is not limited; it can be one or two. This invention does not limit this. Specifically, in this embodiment, two differential structures 7 are provided. The two differential structures 7 include an inter-wheel differential and an inter-axle differential. The inter-axle differential is driven by the first transmission reduction mechanism 4 or the power output shaft 1, and the inter-wheel differential is driven by the inter-axle differential. Thus, by providing the inter-wheel differential and the inter-axle differential, the hybrid system 100 can drive four wheels respectively, thereby achieving four-wheel drive.
[0074] It is understood that the inter-axle differential is located between the front and rear axles of the vehicle to enable the front and rear axles to operate at different speeds, and the inter-wheel differential is located on the front or rear axle of the vehicle to enable the vehicle to achieve front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive.
[0075] It should be noted that the differential structure 7 has three states: differential state, disconnected state, and locked state. When the differential structure 7 is in the differential state, its two output shafts can achieve differential transmission. When the differential structure 7 is in the disconnected state, its input and output shafts are disconnected, so that the output shafts no longer output torque. When the differential structure 7 is in the locked state, its two output shafts are locked, allowing them to rotate synchronously. The disconnected state of the differential is mainly applicable to four-wheel drive vehicles. When the differential is disconnected, one of the front and rear axles has no power output, while the other outputs power, reducing system efficiency loss. When the differential structure 7 is locked, the power is evenly distributed between the front and rear axles, preventing wheel slippage. This is mainly used in special working conditions such as off-road driving (e.g., crossing ditches, bumps, and obstacles).
[0076] Further, referring to Figures 6 and 13, the differential structure 7 includes a differential body 71, a first clutch structure 72, and a second clutch structure 73. The differential body 71 includes a housing 711, a differential input gear 712, and a gear assembly 713. The differential input gear 712 is sleeved on the outside of the housing 711 to drive the housing 711 to rotate. The gear assembly 713 includes a planetary shaft 7131, a planetary gear 7132, and a first half-shaft coaxially arranged and located on both sides of the planetary shaft 7131, all disposed inside the housing 711. The first half-shaft gear 7133 and the second half-shaft gear 7134 are provided. The planetary gear 7132 is sleeved on the planetary shaft 7131 and meshes with the first half-shaft gear 7133 and the second half-shaft gear 7134 for transmission. The first clutch structure 72 is provided between the housing 711 and the planetary gear 7132 for connecting or disconnecting the housing 711 and the planetary shaft 7131. The second clutch structure 73 is provided between the first half-shaft gear 7133 and the housing 711 for connecting or disconnecting the first half-shaft gear 7133 and the housing 711.
[0077] In the technical solution of this invention, by setting the first clutch structure 72, the connection and disconnection between the housing 711 and the planetary gear 7132 are realized. When connected, the power of the differential input gear 712 is transmitted to the planetary gear 7132 through the housing 711, enabling the system to achieve differential function. When disconnected, the power of the differential input gear 712 cannot be transmitted to the two half-shafts, reducing the oil churning loss of the power drive device and improving the system's fuel economy or driving range. By setting the second clutch structure 73, the connection and disconnection between the first half-shaft gear 7133 and the housing 711 are realized. When connected, the rotation of the first half-shaft gear 7133 and the housing 711 is synchronized, thereby synchronizing the second half-shaft gear 7134 with the first half-shaft gear 7133. This enables the system to achieve differential locking function, improving the vehicle's off-road capability and overall vehicle drivability.
[0078] To improve the system's compactness, both the first clutch structure 72 and the second clutch structure 73 are further positioned on the side of the planetary shaft 7131 away from the second half-shaft gear 7134. This design integrates the first clutch structure 72 and the second clutch structure 73 onto one side of the system, resulting in a more rational spatial arrangement and facilitating subsequent circuit layout. Correspondingly, a reducer assembly can be located on the other side of the planetary shaft 7131, thereby improving the overall system balance and making full use of the space within the system.
[0079] To further improve the compactness of the system structure, the planetary shaft 7131 is clearance-fitted with the housing 711. This design not only ensures that the housing 711 and the planetary shaft 7131 do not interfere with each other, but also minimizes the distance between the components within the system, reducing the overall radial dimension of the system.
[0080] Specifically, referring to Figures 6 and 12, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first clutch structure 72 includes a first engagement portion 721 and a first clutch portion 722. The first engagement portion 721 is fixedly mounted on the planetary shaft 7131, and the first clutch portion 722 is movably mounted on the housing 711 along the axial direction of the first half-shaft gear 7133. During its active stroke, the first clutch portion 722 has a connection state where the first engagement portion 721 and the first clutch portion 722 are connected, and the first engagement portion 721 and the first clutch portion 722 are connected. The first clutch 722 is in a disengaged state; the second clutch structure 73 includes a second engagement portion 731 and a second clutch portion 732. The second engagement portion 731 is fixedly mounted on the first half-shaft gear 7133, and the second clutch portion 732 is movably mounted on the housing 711 along the axial direction of the first half-shaft gear 7133. During its travel, the second clutch portion 732 has a locked state where the second engagement portion 731 is connected to the second clutch portion 732, and an unlocked state where the second engagement portion 731 is separated from the second clutch portion 732. With this design, the differential can be switched on and off by moving the first clutch portion 722, and the differential can be locked and unlocked by moving the second clutch portion 732. The structure is simple and easy to control. It is understood that the housing 711 has a cavity for the movement of the first clutch portion 722 and the second clutch portion 732, and during movement, the first clutch portion 722 and the second clutch portion 732 remain connected to the housing 711. Specifically, in one embodiment, the first clutch portion 722 and the second clutch portion 732 are provided with sliders, and the inner wall of the cavity is provided with corresponding grooves that cooperate with the sliders. In another embodiment, the first clutch portion 722 and the second clutch portion 732 are weakly magnetically connected to the cavity.
[0081] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific implementation of the first clutch part 722 and the second clutch part 732. In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 5 to 10. The first clutch part 722 and the second clutch part 732 are integrally arranged to form a compound clutch part 74. The compound clutch part 74 has a first position in its active stroke where the first clutch part 722 is in a disengaged state and the second clutch part 732 is in an unlocked state; a second position where the first clutch part 722 is in a connected state and the second clutch part 732 is in an unlocked state; and a third position where the first clutch part 722 is in a connected state and the second clutch part 732 is in a locked state. With this configuration, the functions of disengaging, engaging, and locking the differential can be realized by moving the compound clutch part 74. The structure is simple, and only one drive structure is needed afterward, saving space inside the housing 711. The design is quite reasonable.
[0082] Furthermore, the first clutch portion 722 has a first extension portion 7221 extending along the axis of the first half-shaft gear 7133, and the first engagement portion has a second extension portion 7211 extending along the axis of the first half-shaft gear 7133, with the first extension portion 7221 and the second extension portion 7211 being staggered; the second clutch portion 732 has a third extension portion 7321 extending along the axis of the first half-shaft gear 7133, and the second engagement portion has a fourth extension portion 7311 extending along the axis of the first half-shaft gear 7133, with the third extension portion 7321 and the fourth extension portion 7311 being staggered. With this configuration, the distance between the first extension portion 7221 and the second extension portion 7211 is greater than the distance between the third extension portion 7321 and the fourth extension portion 7311.
[0083] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific implementation of the combination of the first clutch portion 722 and the first engagement portion 721. For example, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first clutch portion 722 is provided with a plurality of protrusions arranged at intervals, and the first engagement portion 721 is provided with corresponding grooves that mate with the protrusions. This design results in a simple structure and a tight fit. In another embodiment, the first clutch portion 722 and the first engagement portion 721 are made of mutually attracting magnetic materials so that they fit tightly when in contact. It is understood that this solution also does not limit the specific form of the combination of the second clutch portion 732 and the second engagement portion 731. The specific implementation can be the same as or different from the combination of the first clutch portion 722 and the first engagement portion 721, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0084] In another embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG13, the first clutch portion 722 and the second clutch portion 732 are arranged in a relatively movable manner. With this arrangement, the first clutch portion 722 and the second clutch portion 732 can be controlled independently, and each has only two positions, namely, positions that connect or disconnect with the first engagement portion 721 or the second engagement portion 731 respectively. This facilitates subsequent programmed control, eliminates the need for an intermediate position identification device, and is structurally simple and easy to implement.
[0085] Furthermore, the first clutch structure 72 further includes a first drive member 723, which is disposed within the housing 711 and is used to drive the first clutch part 722 to move; the second clutch structure 73 further includes a second drive member 733, which is disposed within the housing 711 and is used to drive the second clutch part 732 to move. This design, by using the first drive member 723 and the second drive member 733 to drive the first clutch part 722 and the second clutch part 732 to move, improves the automation level of the system and facilitates the subsequent configuration of a control system to achieve intelligent control of this differential system.
[0086] It should be noted that this solution does not limit the specific implementation or installation location of the driver. For example:
[0087] In a preferred embodiment, the first clutch portion 722 is further provided with a first armature 7222; the first drive member 723 includes a first electromagnetic coil 7231, which is located on the side of the first clutch portion 722 away from the second half-shaft gear 7134, to repel the first armature 7222 when energized; the first clutch structure 72 also includes a first return spring 724, which is located between the first armature 7222 and the first electromagnetic coil 7231, to apply a spring force to the first clutch portion 722 in a direction close to the first engagement portion 721. With this design, the first clutch portion 722 and the first engagement portion 721 can remain in a connected state for a long time, so that the differential structure 7 remains in the differential engaged state under natural conditions, reducing system losses. Furthermore, when the first electromagnetic coil 7231 is de-energized, the first return spring 724 can immediately return the first clutch portion 722 to the disengaged position. The structure is simple while maintaining a high degree of automation.
[0088] In another preferred embodiment, a second armature 7322 is further provided on the second clutch portion 732; the second drive member 733 further includes a second electromagnetic coil 7331, which is located on the side of the second clutch portion 732 away from the second half-shaft gear 7134, to attract the second armature 7322 when energized; the second clutch structure 73 further includes a second return spring 734, which is located between the second armature 7322 and the second electromagnetic coil 7331, to apply a spring force to the second clutch portion 732 away from the second engagement portion 731. With this design, the second clutch portion 732 and the second engagement portion 731 can remain in a disengaged state for a long time, allowing the differential structure 7 to maintain its differential function under natural conditions, reducing system losses. Furthermore, when the second electromagnetic coil 7331 is de-energized, the second return spring 734 can immediately reset the second clutch portion 732 to the unlocked position. The structure is simple while maintaining a high degree of automation.
[0089] To achieve synchronous rotation of the first clutch portion 722 and the second clutch portion 732 with the housing 711, both the first clutch portion 722 and the second clutch portion 732 are keyed to the housing 711. This design ensures connection stability while simplifying the structure and facilitating assembly and disassembly. It is understood that the length of the keyway on the housing 711 is greater than the length of the key, thereby ensuring that the first clutch portion 722 and the second clutch portion 732 can slide relative to the housing 711.
[0090] The following will describe in detail the working process of the differential structure 7 in this embodiment under different working conditions. The vehicle in this embodiment is a four-wheel drive model. During normal vehicle operation, the first electromagnetic coil 7231 and the second electromagnetic coil 7331 are de-energized, the first clutch part 722 is connected to the first engagement part 721, and the second engagement part 731 is disengaged from the second clutch part 732. The planetary shaft 7131 can rotate under the drive of the housing 711, thereby realizing the normal differential function. When the vehicle is stuck in a muddy road, the first electromagnetic coil 7231 is de-energized, the second electromagnetic coil 7331 is energized, the first clutch part 722 is connected to the first engagement part 721, and the second engagement part 731 is connected to the second clutch part 732. The first half-shaft gear 7133 rotates synchronously with the housing 711, thereby realizing the locking function of the differential, increasing the power of the tires on the road side, and improving the vehicle's off-road capability. During driving on a good road surface, the first electromagnetic coil 7231 is energized and the second electromagnetic coil 7331 is de-energized. The first clutch part 722 is disconnected from the first engagement part 721, and the second engagement part 731 is disconnected from the first half-shaft gear 7133. As a result, the power of the differential output gear cannot be transmitted to the planetary shaft 7131, thereby disconnecting the power of one drive shaft in the vehicle, reducing the oil churning loss of the power drive device, and improving the system's fuel economy or driving range.
[0091] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4.

[0100] The present invention also proposes a vehicle comprising the hybrid system 100 described above. The specific structure of the hybrid system 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

The memory 1005 may be high-speed RAM or non-volatile memory, such as a disk drive. Optionally, the memory 1005 may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.
[0103] Those skilled in the art will understand that the structure shown in Figure 14 does not constitute a limitation on the control module, and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.
[0104] Based on the hybrid system 100 described above, the present invention also proposes a control method for the hybrid system 100. Please refer to Figure 15, which shows an embodiment of the control method for the hybrid system 100 proposed by the present invention.
[0105] The control method for the hybrid system 100 includes the following steps:
[0106] Step S10: Obtain the type of power output mode;
[0107] It should be noted that the power output shaft 1 has multiple modes, such as pure electric drive mode, engine direct drive mode, power generation mode, series mode, parallel mode and power recovery mode, etc., and the present invention does not limit them.
