A single-motor-driven planetary
gear train electric drive axle comprises a
drive motor, a main
speed reduction unit, a planetary speed
reducer and a differential mechanism which are in transmission connection in sequence. A sun gear of the planetary
reducer is connected with a sun gear shaft, an inner gear ring is fixed, and a
planet carrier is in transmission connection with the differential. A gear shifting mechanism is further arranged between the main
speed reduction unit and the planetary speed
reducer and used for connecting power connection between the main
speed reduction unit and the sun wheel shaft or power connection between the main speed reduction unit and the
planet carrier. According to the
electric drive axle, the gear shifting mechanism is arranged at the output end of the main speed reduction unit, the sun gear and the
planet carrier are arranged, the inner gear ring is fixed, the occupied space is small, and the weight is lighter. When first-gear large-torque output is carried out, a
transmission system has the requirements for high strength and high rigidity, the requirement for second-gear efficient operation is met, the part
machining difficulty of a planet row gear shifting mechanism is lowered, the strength and reliability of an
electric drive axle
assembly for planet row gear shifting are effectively improved, and the product
machining and assembling difficulty is effectively lowered.
