In this embodiment, when the motor 8 drives the first ring gear 11 to rotate, torque is input from the first ring gear 11 of the electric drive transmission mechanism 100 to 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 can be respectively connected with two wheels in an external mode, and thus the first half shaft 6 and the second half shaft 7 can respectively drive the two wheels to rotate.
The path of torque transfer 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, and from the second planet carrier 23 to the first half shaft 6.
The torque is transferred from the first ring gear 11 to the second half shaft 7 by: from the first ring gear 11 to the first planet gears 14, from the first planet gears 14 to the second planet gears 15, and then through the first planet gears 14 and the second planet gears 15 acting together on the first planet carrier 13, from the first planet carrier 13 to the third sun gear 32, from the third sun gear 32 to the fourth planet gears 34, from the fourth planet gears 34 to the third planet carrier 33, and from the third planet carrier 33 to the second half shaft 7.
When the automobile runs on a flat road surface 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 straight line motion. 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.
At the same time, the torque is reduced and increased during the input from the motor 8 to the first planetary gear mechanism 1 and the transmission 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, respectively, so that the transmission ratio of the electric drive transmission mechanism 100 is large.
In summary, the electric drive mechanism 100 can simultaneously realize speed change and differential functions, thereby reducing the volume and mass of the transmission components and greatly improving the power density of the transmission. Compared with the traditional parallel shaft and bevel gear differential mechanism, the parallel shaft and bevel gear differential mechanism reduces the number of required parts, has more compact structure and lighter weight. When the first planetary gear mechanism 1 divides the torque into two paths and inputs the two paths 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 bear only 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 light.
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 motor 8 are configured as coaxial mechanisms, and the electric drive transmission mechanism 100 is symmetrically arranged about 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.
The first sun gear 12, the second sun gear 22, the third sun gear 32, the first planetary gears 14, the second planetary gears 15, the third planetary gears 24 and the fourth planetary gears 34 are all cylindrical gears, and the axes are parallel to each other, so that the transmission efficiency of the electric drive mechanism 100 is greater than that of the conventional parallel shaft plus bevel gear differential.
In one 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 ring gear 11 is twice that of the first sun gear 12, the torque output by the first half shaft 6 and the second half shaft 7 is equal and the rotation speeds of the first half shaft 6 and the second half shaft 7 are the same when the automobile runs on a flat road surface and runs in a straight line.
In one exemplary embodiment, the first planetary gears 14, the second planetary gears 15, the first planetary shafts 132 and the second planetary shafts 133 are all provided in plurality and 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 3 or more. The plurality of first planetary gears 14 are respectively sleeved on the plurality of first planetary shafts 132. 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 respectively meshed with the plurality of second planetary gears 15.
The plurality of first planetary gears 14 are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the first ring gear 11. The plurality of second planetary gears 15 are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the first sun gear 12.
In this way, the stress of the first ring gear 11 and the first sun gear 12 is more uniform.
In the first exemplary embodiment, the third planetary gear 24, the fourth planetary gear 34, the third planetary shaft 232, and the fourth planetary shaft 332 are each provided in plurality. 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 third planetary gears 24 and the third planetary shafts 232 are the same in number, and the third planetary gears 24 are sleeved on the third planetary shafts 232 in a one-to-one correspondence. The plurality of third planetary gears 24 are uniformly 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 first planetary shafts in a one-to-one correspondence. The plurality of fourth planetary gears 34 are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the third sun gear 32.
In this way, the forces of 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 main difference between the electric drive mechanism 100a in the second embodiment and the electric drive mechanism 100 in the first embodiment is that the third planetary gear and the fourth planetary gear are different in structure, and for avoiding redundancy, only the part of the electric drive mechanism 100a in the second embodiment that is different from the electric drive mechanism 100 in the first embodiment will be described.
As shown in fig. 2, the third planetary gear 24a includes a first sub-gear 241a and a second sub-gear 242a. The first sub gear 241a and the second sub gear 242a are both sleeved on the third planetary shaft 232 and are both rotatable around the third planetary shaft 232. The first and second sub gears 241a and 242a are coaxially disposed, and one ends of the first and second sub gears 241a and 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 gear 24a may be an integrally formed structure. The third planetary gear 24a may be a double gear. The pitch diameter of the first sub-gear 241a is smaller than the pitch diameter of the second sub-gear 242a.
The fourth planetary gear 34a includes a third sub-gear 341a and a fourth sub-gear 342a. The third sub-gear 341a and the fourth sub-gear 342a are both sleeved on the fourth planetary shaft 332, and are both rotatable about the fourth planetary 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 gear 34a may be an integrally formed structure. The fourth planetary gear 34a may be a double gear. The pitch diameter of the third sub-gear 341a is smaller than the pitch diameter of the fourth sub-gear 342a.
In this way, the second planetary gear mechanism 2a and the third planetary gear mechanism 3a can further decelerate and increase torque of the electric drive transmission mechanism, so that the transmission ratio of the electric drive transmission mechanism 100a is larger.
