As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the present invention provides a single motor hybrid system, including:
a hybrid control system 1;
a planetary gear mechanism 2 for distributing power, the planetary gear mechanism 2 including a ring gear 21, a sun gear 22 located at the center of the ring gear 21, and a planetary gear set 23 provided between the ring gear 21 and the sun gear 22, the planetary gear set 23 including a carrier 231 and a plurality of pinion gears 232 provided to the carrier 231;
the engine 3 is in transmission connection with the planet carrier 231 and is in communication connection with the hybrid control system 1; the engine 3 can be one of an internal combustion engine (such as a reciprocating piston engine), an external combustion engine (such as a Stirling engine and a steam engine), a jet engine and an electric motor;
the motor 4 is in transmission connection with the sun gear 22 and is in communication connection with the hybrid control system 1; the motor 4 can be used as a generator and a motor;
the power output mechanism 5 is in transmission connection with the gear ring 21;
the mode switching system 7, the mode switching system 7 includes a first locker 71 for limiting the movement of the planet carrier 231 and a second locker 72 for limiting the movement of the sun gear 22, and the first locker 71 and the second locker 72 are respectively connected to the hybrid control system 1 in a communication manner.
In the invention, the hybrid control system 1 is respectively connected with the engine 3 and the motor 4 in a communication way so as to acquire and control the running state (such as the rotating speed) of the engine 3 and the running state (such as the rotating speed) of the motor 4; the hybrid control system 1 is communicatively connected to the first locker 71 and the second locker 72, respectively, to acquire and control an operation state (locking or unlocking) of the first locker 71 and an operation state (locking or unlocking) of the second locker 72.
The basic motion principle of the planetary gear mechanism 2 described above is: when the ring gear 21 is fixed, the carrier 231 and the sun gear 22 rotate in the same direction; when the carrier 231 is fixed, the ring gear 21 and the sun gear 22 rotate in reverse; when the sun gear 22 is fixed, the ring gear 21 and the carrier 231 rotate in the same direction. The planetary gear mechanism 2 is used for distributing power, that is, the engine 3 (in general, the engine 3 is an internal combustion engine) is in transmission connection with the planet carrier 231, the engine 3 transmits power to the planet carrier 231 and then is divided into two paths, one path of power can flow to the ring gear 21 to drive the power output mechanism 5, and the other path of power can flow to the sun gear 22 to drive the motor 4, so as to realize a power generation function. In the planetary gear mechanism 2, a proportional relationship is formed between the sum of the rotation speeds of the ring gear 21 and the sun gear 22 and the rotation speed of the carrier 231, that is, the sum of the rotation speeds of the ring gear 21 and the motor 4 and the rotation speed of the engine 3. When the rotation speed of the engine 3 is fixed, an inverse relationship is formed between the rotation speed of the motor 4 and the rotation speed of the ring gear 21.
The power output mechanism 5 may be a running mechanism, a jacking mechanism, or a working mechanism in other motion forms. Based on the transmission relationship, the hybrid control system 1 converts a preset speed to be attained by the power output mechanism 5 (if the power output mechanism 5 is a running mechanism, the preset speed of the power output mechanism 5 may be a running speed with respect to the ground) into a rotational speed to be attained by the ring gear 21. The current speed of the power output mechanism 5 can be changed to realize a speed change under a change in the operation mode (power generation mode or drive mode) of the motor 4. That is, the power output mechanism 5 can realize the speed change without the existing clutch and transmission in the single motor hybrid system. The hybrid control system 1 can calculate how much power the engine 3 needs to provide based on information about the load, etc., to determine the rotational speed of the engine 3. Once the rotational speed of the engine 3 and the rotational speed of the ring gear 21 are determined, the rotational speed of the sun gear 22 can be determined.
The mode switching system 7 is used for changing the power transmission path of the single-motor hybrid system, the mode switching system 7 includes a first locker 71 for limiting the movement of the carrier 231 and a second locker 72 for limiting the movement of the sun gear 22, and the change in the actions of the first locker 71 and the second locker 72 can switch a plurality of operation modes: in the first mode, when the carrier 231 is locked by the first locker 71 and the sun gear 22 is released by the second locker 72, the motor 4 is placed in the drive mode, and power is transmitted to the power output mechanism 5 through the sun gear 22, the pinion 232, and the ring gear 21 in this order. In the second mode, when the first locker 71 releases the carrier 231 and the second locker 72 releases the sun gear 22, the engine 3 transmits power to the carrier 231 and then divides the power into two paths, one of the two paths of power is transmitted to the motor 4 through the planetary gear 232 and the sun gear 22 in order to put the motor 4 into a power generation state, and the other path of power is transmitted to the power output mechanism 5 through the planetary gear 232 and the ring gear 21 in order. At this time, it should be noted that: if the ring gear 21 is in a stationary state, i.e. the power take-off 5 is not operating, the power of the engine 3 can be fully transmitted to the motor 4, i.e. the power output by the engine 3 is fully used for generating electricity. In the third mode, when the first locker 71 releases the carrier 231 and the second locker 72 locks the sun gear 22, the power output from the engine 3 is transmitted to the power output mechanism 5 through the carrier 231, the pinion gears 232, and the ring gear 21 in this order. In the fourth mode, when the carrier 231 is released by the first locker 71 and the sun gear 22 is released by the second locker 72, the motor 4 is in the drive mode, the power output from the engine 3 is transmitted to the power output mechanism 5 through the carrier 231, the pinion 232, and the ring gear 21 in this order, and the power output from the motor 4 is transmitted to the power output mechanism 5 through the sun gear 22, the pinion 232, and the ring gear 21 in this order.
Therefore, the technical effects of the single-motor hybrid system of the invention are as follows:
1. the single-motor hybrid system has a very simple overall structure and is convenient to arrange, and the engine 3 is in transmission connection with the planet carrier 231, so that a clutch and a speed changer are omitted, the manufacturing cost and the maintenance cost are greatly reduced, the weight is reduced, and the installation layout is facilitated;
2. the planetary gear mechanism 2 and the mode switching system 7 are combined for use, and the motor 4 can be used as a generator and a motor, so that the power distribution of the single-motor hybrid system is flexible; under the regulation of the mode switching system 7, the single-motor hybrid system has various working modes and rich series-parallel combination types; the switching of different working modes is smooth, and no switching pause or frustration is caused;
3. the hybrid control system 1 collects and controls the working conditions of the engine 3 and the motor 4 in real time, controls the locking state and the unlocking state of the first locker 71 and the second locker 72, improves the overall operation efficiency of the engine 3 and the motor 4, avoids the situation that a user uses the engine 3 to drive the power output mechanism 5 to operate in an engine low-efficiency interval, and enables the single-motor hybrid system to be in the most energy-saving operation state.
The single-motor hybrid system further comprises a driving battery 8, and the driving battery 8 is electrically connected to the motor 4 and is communicatively connected to the hybrid control system 1. The drive battery 8 is used to supply power to the motor 4 or store electric power generated by the motor 4. The hybrid control system 1 is connected to the drive battery 8 in communication, and can acquire the SOC value (the ratio of the remaining dischargeable electric quantity to the electric quantity in its fully charged state) of the drive battery 8 in real time. The SOC of the driving battery 8 is divided into a charged state, a low-charged state and an empty state, the SOC of the charged state (i.e. the ratio of the remaining capacity to the battery capacity, and the SOC of the driving battery 8 is adjustable by a user) ranges from greater than 25%, the SOC of the low-charged state ranges from 10% to 25%, and the SOC of the empty state ranges from less than 10%. The power output mechanism 5 is divided into a low speed, a medium speed, and a high speed that become larger in order with respect to the speed per hour of the road surface, and the low speed has a value in a range of less than 42Km/h, the medium speed has a value in a range of 42 to 82Km/h, and the high speed has a value in a range of more than 82Km/h.
Based on the above-described SOC value of the drive battery 8 and the speed per hour of the power output mechanism 5, the operation modes of the hybrid single-motor system include the following modes, thereby reducing the total energy consumption of the hybrid single-motor system:
when the power output mechanism 5 is running at a low speed, or the drive battery 8 is in a charged state and the power output mechanism 5 is running at a medium speed (simply referred to as low speed and charged medium speed, hereinafter referred to in the form of short term): the first locker 71 locks the carrier 231, the second locker 72 releases the sun gear 22, the motor 4 directly drives the sun gear 22, the sun gear 22 transmits power to the ring gear 21 through the pinion 232, and the ring gear 21 transmits power to the power output mechanism 5.
When the drive battery 8 is in a low-power state and the power output mechanism 5 is running at a medium speed (simply referred to as low-power medium speed): the first locker 71 releases the carrier 231, the second locker 72 releases the sun gear 22, and the motor 4 is in the power generation mode. The engine 3 directly drives the carrier 231, the carrier 231 transmits a part of the power to the sun gear 22, so that the motor 4 is placed in the power generation mode, the carrier 231 transmits another part of the power to the ring gear 21, and the ring gear 21 transmits the power to the power output mechanism 5.

As an embodiment of the above-described mode switching system 7: the mode switching system 7 further includes a third latch 73 for restricting the movement of the power take-off 5, a brake trigger 74 (e.g., a brake stepped on by the driver) operated by the user, and a position detector for detecting the position of the brake trigger 74, wherein the brake trigger 74 is drivingly connected to the third latch 73, and the position detector is communicatively connected to the hybrid control system 1. The position detector can collect the position information of the brake trigger 74 in real time, and when the positions of the brake triggers 74 are different, the position detector sends different motor operation instructions to the hybrid control system 1. For example, when the brake trigger 74 is a pedal, the movement stroke of the brake trigger 74 is divided into two sections, and when the brake trigger 74 is located at one of the sections, the position detector sends a motor power generation command to the hybrid control system 1, so that the hybrid control system 1 controls the motor 4 to enter the power generation mode. Furthermore, the brake trigger 74 can bring the third latch 73 along the entire stroke of the brake trigger 74 to generate a movement resistance or even to lock the power take-off 5.
