A hybrid system 100 according to an embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to fig. 1 to 5.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, a hybrid system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an engine 10, a dual input shaft transmission 20, and a motor generator 30; the dual-input shaft transmission 20 is selectively in power connection with the engine 10 through a first clutch 70, and the dual-input shaft transmission 20 is provided with a first input shaft 21, a second input shaft 22 sleeved outside the first input shaft 21 and an output shaft 23 in power connection with the first input shaft 21 and the second input shaft 22; the motor generator 30 is in power connection with the first input shaft 21 or the second input shaft 22, and the motor generator 30 is adapted to be selectively in power connection with the output shaft 23 through the second clutch 60.
Specifically, the engine 10 is simultaneously power-connected to the first input shaft 21 and the second input shaft 22 or simultaneously power-disconnected from the first input shaft 21 and the second input shaft 22 by the first clutch 70, so that when the engine 10 is simultaneously power-connected to the first input shaft 21 and the second input shaft 22, power output of the engine 10 is realized, and the motor generator 30, which is power-connected to the first input shaft 21 or the second input shaft 22, rotates synchronously to generate electric power.
Further, a second clutch 60 is provided between the motor generator 30 and the output shaft 23, and the power connection between the motor generator 30 and the output shaft 23 is controlled by the second clutch 60, so that the power connection between the motor generator 30 and the output shaft 23 is interrupted by the second clutch 60 in the parking power generation mode.
It is understood that the dual input shaft transmission 20 of the present embodiment may be configured as a plurality of gears.
Based on the direct power connection of the motor generator 30 and the first input shaft 21 or the second input shaft 22, during the starting process of the engine 10, the motor generator 30 can perform the same function as a starting motor, and the dual-input shaft transmission 20 has at least two gears, compared with a single-gear hybrid power system, the working efficiency of the engine 10 is higher, so that the engine 10 can still drive the vehicle 1000 to run within the full vehicle speed range, compared with the conventional power vehicle 1000, the dual-input shaft transmission 20 has smaller volume, convenient arrangement and simple structure.
The hybrid system 100 according to the embodiment of the invention has the following advantages:
(1) the operation can be performed in an engine 10 driving mode, a motor generator 30 driving mode, a hybrid driving mode of the engine 10 and the motor generator 30, a running power generation mode and a parking power generation mode, a brake feedback power generation mode, and a start engine 10 mode.
(2) Compared with the hybrid power system 100 with a single gear, the engine 10 has higher efficiency, because the engine 10 keeps a proper gear number, the engine 10 can still drive the vehicle 1000 to run in the full vehicle speed range, and under the condition of serious battery power feeding, the vehicle 1000 can still run normally, and meanwhile, the number of components of the dual-input shaft transmission 20 can be reduced, so that the size of the dual-input shaft transmission 20 can be reduced.
(3) Engine 10 and motor generator 30 can drive vehicle 1000 in a hybrid manner in the entire vehicle speed range, and therefore, the dynamic characteristics are good.
(4) When the motor generator 30 is driven in combination with the engine 10, the motor generator 30 also has a plurality of gear positions, and therefore the motor generator 30 is more excellent in power efficiency and economy.
(5) Compared with the technical scheme of coupling the motor generator 30 to the conventional power system, the dual-input-shaft transmission 20 of the embodiment has the advantages of simpler structure, fewer parts, smaller volume and lower weight, is beneficial to structural arrangement in a narrow vehicle 1000 space, and has lower cost.
(6) The engine 10 can be started by directly using the electric motor 10 without additionally providing a starter motor for the engine 10, and the cost can be further reduced.
(7) The engine 10 and the motor generator 30 can be completely separated from the wheels, so that a pure power generation working mode, such as parking power generation, can be realized, if a rear-drive pure electric drive system is matched, a pure series working mode can be realized, and at the moment, the engine 10 can be fixed at a high-efficiency working point to generate power for the generator, so that the efficiency of the engine 10 is further improved.
In summary, according to the hybrid system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, on one hand, the power performance is better, the transmission efficiency under the driving of the motor generator 30 and the driving of the engine 10 is higher, and the power generation efficiency when the engine 10 drives the motor generator 30 to generate power is higher; on the other hand, the dual-input shaft transmission 20 has more reasonable gears, small occupied space and low cost.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first input shaft 21 has a first driving gear 211 thereon, the second input shaft 22 has a second driving gear 221 thereon, and the output shaft 23 has a first driven gear 231 engaged with the first driving gear 211 and a second driven gear 232 engaged with the second driving gear 221.
Specifically, the first input shaft 21 and the second input shaft 22 of the dual-input shaft transmission 20 are both meshed with the same output shaft 23, the first input shaft 21 is meshed with a first driven gear 231 on the output shaft 23 through a first driving gear 211, and the second input shaft 22 is meshed with a second driven gear 232 on the output shaft 23 through a second driving gear 221.
Therefore, on one hand, the number of the first driving gear 211 and the second driving gear 221 can be multiple, so that the gears of the dual-input shaft transmission 20 are more reasonable, and the occupied space is reduced, and on the other hand, the number of the output shafts 23 can be reduced, so that the occupied space of the dual-input shaft transmission 20 is further reduced.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the second clutch 60 is provided on the first input shaft 21, the second input shaft 22, the output shaft 23, or the motor shaft of the motor body.
Specifically, in some embodiments, the second clutch 60 is provided on the output shaft 23 to control the first driven gear 231 or the second driven gear 232, which is power-connected to the motor generator 30, to be selectively power-connected to the output shaft 23; in other embodiments, the second clutch 60 is provided on the first input shaft 21 or the second input shaft 22 so as to cut off the power connection between the first driving gear 211 power-connected to the motor generator 30 and the first input shaft 21 or between the second driving gear 221 power-connected to the motor generator 30 and the second input shaft 22 by the second clutch 60; in still other embodiments, the second clutch 60 is disposed on the motor shaft to selectively switch the power connection between the motor shaft and the first driving gear 211 or the motor shaft and the second driving gear 221.
In summary, the second clutch 60 is provided to selectively connect the motor generator 30 and the output shaft 23 for power, so as to achieve parking power generation, and avoid the differential and the left and right half shafts from being involved in the transmission process during parking power generation.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the hybrid system 100 further comprises: a first active synchronizer (not shown) and a second active synchronizer 24; wherein the first active synchronizer is arranged on the first input shaft 21 or on the output shaft 23; a second active synchronizer 24 is provided on the second input shaft 22 or on the output shaft 23.
In other words, the first driving synchronizer is adapted to lock the first driving gear 211 with the first input shaft 21 or lock the first driven gear 231 with the output shaft 23, and the second driving synchronizer 24 is adapted to lock the second driving gear 221 with the second input shaft 22 or lock the second driven gear 232 with the output shaft 23, so as to realize the power output of the engine 10.
It should be noted that the number of the first driving gear 211, the second driving gear 221, the first driven gear 231 and the second driven gear 232 may be multiple, an even gear or an odd gear is defined between each first driving gear 211 and the corresponding first driven gear 231, and an odd gear or an even gear is defined between each second driving gear 221 and the corresponding second driven gear 232.
As shown in fig. 4, the first clutch 70 includes: a housing 71, the housing 71 being formed as an input end, the housing 71 having an accommodation space a; a first output end 72 and a second output end 73, at least a portion of the first output end 72 and at least a portion of the second output end 73 being disposed in the accommodating space a, the first output end 72 being connected to the first input shaft 21, the second output end 73 being connected to the second input shaft 22; a driving member 76 and a locking member 74, the driving member 76 and the locking member 74 being disposed in the accommodating space a, the driving member 76 being adapted to drive the locking member 74 to selectively power connect the input end with the first output end 72 and the second output end 73.
Specifically, a driving member 76 and a locking member 74 are disposed within the housing 71, and the driving member 76 moves the locking member 74, so that the housing 71 configured as an input end is selectively and simultaneously power-connected to the first output end 72 and the second output end 73.
Thus, the input end can simultaneously rotate the first output end 72 and the second output end 73 to drive the vehicle 1000 to run through one of the first input shaft 21 connected with the first output end 72 and the second input shaft 22 connected with the second output end 73. When the input end is disconnected from the first output end 72 and the second output end 73, the motor generator 30 may drive one of the first input shaft 21 and the second input shaft 22 to output power.
According to the first clutch 70 of the embodiment of the present invention, the input end can be simultaneously in power connection with the first output end 72 and the second output end 73, or the first output end 72 and the second output end 73 are controlled to be disconnected from the input end, on one hand, compared with the existing single clutch, the first clutch 70 of the embodiment can control the power connection between two output ends and one input end, so that the power control between two output ends and one input end is simpler and more convenient, and the power cutoff can be avoided; on the other hand, the first clutch 70 of the present embodiment has a simpler structure and lower cost than the conventional dual clutch.
More importantly, the first clutch 70 of the present embodiment can perform power compensation by the generator motor generator 30 that is power-connected to the first input shaft 21 or the second input shaft 22 when the input power is cut off, and during the power compensation, no interference occurs between the transmission component of the generator motor generator 30 and the other component connected to the first clutch 70.
In the specific embodiment illustrated in fig. 4, the accommodating space a includes: a first accommodating space a1 and a second accommodating space a2, the driving member 76 is configured as a piston and is slidably disposed in the first accommodating space a1, and the locking member 74 is disposed in the second accommodating space a2 and abuts against one end of the piston. Therefore, when the driving element 76 slides in the first accommodating space a1, the locking element 74 can be driven to move towards or away from the first output end 72 and the second output end 73, so that the linkage effect between the driving element 76 and the locking element 74 is better, and the working stability of the locking element 74 is improved.
It will be appreciated that the latch 74 includes: a first driving friction plate 741, a second driving friction plate 742, a first driven friction plate 743, and a second driven friction plate 744; wherein the first driving friction plate 741 is connected to the housing 71, and the first driven friction plate 743 is connected to the first output end 72; the second driving friction plate 742 is connected to the housing 71, and the first driven friction plate 743 is connected to the second output end 73.
Specifically, the first driving friction plate 741 is connected to the housing 71 through a spline and the second driving friction plate 742 is connected to the housing 71 through a spline, and the first driving friction plate 741 abuts against the piston to push the first driving friction plate 741 to slide on the housing 71 through the movement of the piston, so as to drive the second driving friction plate 742 to slide to press the first driven friction plate 743 and the second driven friction plate 744 respectively.
Meanwhile, it is understood that the first and second driven friction plates 743 and 744 are slidably spline-connected to the first and second output ends 72 and 73, respectively.
Thus, the driving member 76 drives the first driving friction plate 741 to selectively press the first driven friction plate 743, and drives the second driving friction plate 742 to selectively press the second driven friction plate 744, so as to achieve power connection between the first output end 72 and the input end, and power connection between the second output end 73 and the input end, respectively.
Further, the first output end 72 has a first flange 721, the second output end 73 has a second flange 731, the first flange 721 is connected to the first driven friction plate 743, the second flange 731 is connected to the second driven friction plate 744, and the first flange 721 and the second flange 731 are sequentially arranged in a direction away from the piston.
The number of the driving friction plates and the number of the driven friction plates are multiple, so that the multiple first driving friction plates 741 are crossly inserted with the multiple first driven friction plates 743, the multiple second driving friction plates 742 are crossly inserted with the multiple second driven friction plates 744, so that the multiple friction plates are mutually attached under the driving of the driving piece 76, the stability of power connection between the input end and the output end is improved by improving the friction force, the first driven friction plates 743 and the second driven friction plates 744 are respectively fixed on the first flange 721 and the second flange 731, the structural stability of the locking piece 74 is improved, and the working stability of the first clutch 70 can be improved.
In the particular embodiment shown in fig. 4, the first clutch 70 further includes: the reset piece 75, the reset piece 75 is elastically stopped between the driving piece 76 (i.e. the piston) and the housing 71. Therefore, the driver 76 can be reset by the reset element 75, and the reset speed of the driver 76 is increased to increase the response speed of the first clutch 70.
Thus, during shifting, while the power output at the input is disconnected by the first clutch 70, power compensation can be performed by the motor generator 30 that is power-connected to the first input shaft 21 or the motor generator 30 that is power-connected to the second input shaft 22, and during power compensation, the transmission components of the motor generator 30 do not interfere with the components connected to the first clutch 70.
In some embodiments, the dual input shaft transmission 20 is configured as any of a three-speed, a four-speed, and a five-speed transmission.
