In the present embodiment, when the motor 8 drives the first ring gear 11 to rotate, the torque is input into the electric drive transmission mechanism 100 from the first ring gear 11 of the electric drive transmission mechanism 100, and then the electric drive transmission mechanism 100 is output through the first half shaft 6 and the second half shaft 7. The first half shaft 6 and the second half shaft 7 may respectively circumscribe two wheels, such that the first half shaft 6 and the second half shaft 7 may respectively drive the two wheels to rotate.
The path for the torque transmitted from the first ring gear 11 to the first half shaft 6 is: from the first ring gear 11 to the first planet gears 14, from the first planet gears 14 to the second planet gears 15, from the second planet gears 15 to the first sun gear 12, from the first sun gear 12 to the second sun gear 22, from the second sun gear 22 to the third planet gears 24, from the third planet gears 24 to the second planet carrier 23, from the second planet carrier 23 to the first half shaft 6.

When the automobile runs on a flat road and runs along a straight line, the first half shaft 6 and the second half shaft 7 can respectively drive the two wheels to rotate at the same rotating speed so as to ensure that the automobile keeps moving linearly. When the automobile runs on an uneven road or turns, the first half shaft 6 and the second half shaft 7 can respectively drive the two wheels to rotate at different rotating speeds so as to ensure that the two wheels do pure rolling motion on the ground.
Meanwhile, the torque is reduced and increased in the process of being input from the motor 8 to the first planetary gear mechanism 1 and being respectively transmitted to the first half shaft 6 and the second half shaft 7 through the second planetary gear mechanism 2 and the third planetary gear mechanism 3, so that the transmission ratio of the electric drive transmission mechanism 100 is large.
In conclusion, the electrically-driven transmission mechanism 100 can realize speed change and differential functions at the same time, reduce the volume and mass of transmission parts, and greatly improve the power density of the transmission. Compared with the traditional differential with parallel shafts and bevel gears, the differential reduces the number of required parts, and has more compact structure and lighter weight. When the first planetary gear mechanism 1 divides the torque into two paths and inputs the torque to the second planetary gear mechanism 2 and the third planetary gear mechanism 3 respectively, the second planetary gear mechanism 2 and the third planetary gear mechanism 3 only bear half of the total torque, the structural strength requirements of the second planetary gear mechanism 2 and the third planetary gear mechanism 3 are reduced, and the design of the second planetary gear mechanism 2 and the third planetary gear mechanism 3 can be more compact and lighter.
In the present embodiment, the first planetary gear mechanism 1, the second planetary gear mechanism 2, the third planetary gear mechanism 3, the first rotating shaft 4, the second rotating shaft 5, the first half shaft 6, the second half shaft 7, and the rotor 81 of the electric motor 8 are configured as coaxial mechanisms, and the electric drive transmission mechanism 100 is arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis of the first rotating shaft 4 as a whole, so that the structure of the electric drive transmission mechanism 100 is more compact.

In an exemplary embodiment, the number of teeth of the first ring gear 11 is twice the number of teeth of the first sun gear 12.
When the number of teeth of the first inner gear ring 11 is twice that of the first sun gear 12, when the automobile runs on a flat road and runs along a straight line, the torque output by the first half shaft 6 is equal to that output by the second half shaft 7, and the rotating speeds of the first half shaft 6 and the second half shaft 7 are equal.
In an exemplary embodiment, the first planetary gear 14, the second planetary gear 15, the first planetary shaft 132 and the second planetary shaft 133 are all provided in plurality and in the same number. The number of the first planetary gears 14, the second planetary gears 15, the first planetary shafts 132, and the second planetary shafts 133 is preferably each greater than or equal to 3.

The plurality of second planetary gears 15 are respectively sleeved on the plurality of second planetary shafts 133.

The plurality of first planetary gears 14 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the first ring gear 11. The plurality of second planetary gears 15 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the first sun gear 12.
Thus, the first ring gear 11 and the first sun gear 12 are more uniformly stressed.
In the first exemplary embodiment, a plurality of third planetary gears 24, fourth planetary gears 34, third planetary shafts 232, and fourth planetary shafts 332 are provided. The number of the third planetary gears 24, the fourth planetary gears 34, the third planetary shafts 232, and the fourth planetary shafts 332 is preferably 3 or more.
The number of the third planetary gears 24 is the same as that of the third planetary shafts 232, and the third planetary gears 24 are sleeved on the third planetary shafts 232 in a one-to-one correspondence manner. The plurality of third planetary gears 24 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the second sun gear 22.
The number of the fourth planetary gears 34 is the same as that of the fourth planetary shafts 332, and the fourth planetary gears 34 are sleeved on the second search planetary shafts in a one-to-one correspondence manner. The plurality of fourth planetary gears 34 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the third sun gear 32.
In this way, the forces applied to the second ring gear 21, the second sun gear 22, the third ring gear 31, and the third sun gear 32 are more uniform.

The first sub gear 241a and the second sub gear 242a are coaxially disposed, and one ends of the first sub gear 241a and the second sub gear 242a, which are close to each other, are connected to each other. The first sub gear 241a is engaged with the second ring gear 21, and the second sub gear 242a is engaged with the second sun gear 22. The third planetary gears 24a may be of unitary construction. The third planetary gears 24a may be dual gears. The pitch circle diameter of the first sub gear 241a is smaller than that of the second sub gear 242 a.
The fourth planetary gear 34a includes a third sub gear 341a and a fourth sub gear 342 a. The third sub gear 341a and the fourth sub gear 342a are both sleeved on the fourth planet shaft 332 and can rotate around the fourth planet shaft 332. The third sub gear 341a and the fourth sub gear 342a are coaxially disposed, and one ends of the third sub gear 341a and the fourth sub gear 342a, which are close to each other, are connected to each other. The third sub gear 341a is engaged with the third ring gear 31, and the fourth sub gear 342a is engaged with the third sun gear 32. The fourth planetary gears 34a may be an integrally formed structure. The fourth planetary gears 34a may be double gears. The pitch circle diameter of the third sub gear 341a is smaller than that of the fourth sub gear 342 a.
In this way, the second planetary gear mechanism 2a and the third planetary gear mechanism 3a can further reduce the speed and increase the torque of the electrically driven transmission mechanism, so that the transmission ratio of the electrically driven transmission mechanism 100a is larger.
