The invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle
power transmission, and particularly relates to a
tractor and trailer cooperative driving
system which comprises a
tractor driving mechanism and a trailer driving mechanism. The
tractor driving mechanism comprises an engine, a torsion
damper, a
clutch, a power dividing unit, a multi-gear gearbox, a controller and a
power battery, the power dividing unit comprises a gear ring, a sun gear, a
planet gear, a first reversible motor and a combiner, and power distribution of the engine and the first reversible motor is achieved through the power dividing unit. The multi-gear gearbox provides gear shifting of a forward gear and a reverse gear. The trailer driving mechanism comprises a second reversible motor, a trailer speed change
assembly, a trailer main speed
reducer and a quick connector and can receive
electric energy of the
power battery or the first reversible motor to achieve active driving. The
power coupling structure is simplified through power dividing, the tractor and the trailer are combined for cooperative driving, the transmission efficiency and the whole vehicle
power performance are improved,
energy consumption is reduced, the tractor load is reduced, and the whole vehicle power efficiency is optimized.
