At this time, the electromagnet is powered off, the abutting groove and the limiting member can still keep fixing the sliding member, and torque can still be transmitted between the first disc member and the second disc member.
When the first disc member and the second disc member are required to be disconnected, the electromagnet is electrified, the polarity of the electromagnet is the same as that of the sliding member, the electromagnet repels the sliding member, the limiting member moves out of the limiting groove, and the sliding member moves out of the abutting groove. At this time, the abutment groove and the stopper member cannot restrict the slide member, and torque cannot be transmitted between the first disk member and the second disk member. The electromagnet is powered off, the abutting groove and the limiting member still cannot limit the sliding member, and torque still cannot be transmitted between the first disc member and the second disc member.
Thus, when the disconnecting device of the present application is used, the electromagnet is energized only when the engaging operation and the disconnecting operation are performed. After the electromagnet is powered off, the first disc member and the second disc member can still keep a combined state or a disconnected state, the electromagnet does not need to be continuously electrified, and the loss of electric energy is reduced.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description is provided to assist the reader in obtaining a thorough understanding of the methods, apparatus, and/or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein will be apparent after an understanding of the present disclosure. For example, the order of operations described herein is merely an example, and is not limited to the order set forth herein, but rather, obvious variations may be made upon an understanding of the present disclosure, other than operations that must occur in a specific order. In addition, descriptions of features known in the art may be omitted for the sake of clarity and conciseness.
The features described herein may be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided solely to illustrate some of the many possible ways of implementing the methods, devices, and/or systems described herein that will be apparent after a review of the disclosure of the present application.
In the entire specification, when an element (such as a layer, region or substrate) is described as being "on", "connected to", "bonded to", "over" or "covering" another element, it may be directly "on", "connected to", "bonded to", "over" or "covering" another element or there may be one or more other elements interposed therebetween. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on," directly connected to, "or" directly coupled to, "another element, directly on," or "directly covering" the other element, there may be no other element intervening therebetween.
As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any one of the listed items of interest and any combination of any two or more.
Although terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers or sections should not be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a first member, component, region, layer or section discussed in examples described herein could also be termed a second member, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the examples.
For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above … …," "upper," "below … …," and "lower" may be used herein to describe one element's relationship to another element as illustrated in the figures. Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "above" or "upper" relative to another element would then be oriented "below" or "lower" relative to the other element. Thus, the term "above … …" includes both orientations "above … …" and "below … …" depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may also be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing various examples only and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. Singular forms also are intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having" are intended to specify the presence of stated features, integers, operations, elements, and/or groups thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, operations, elements, and/or groups thereof.
Variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Accordingly, the examples described herein are not limited to the particular shapes shown in the drawings, but include changes in shapes that occur during manufacture.
The features of the examples described herein may be combined in various ways that will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of the present application. Further, while the examples described herein have a variety of configurations, other configurations are possible as will be apparent after an understanding of the present disclosure.
According to an aspect of the present application, there is provided a disconnecting device, as shown in fig. 1 to 10, including a first disc member 1, a second disc member 21, a sliding member 5, an electromagnet 4, and a stopper member 3, one of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 being for connection with a half shaft (here, the half shaft is a member connected with a wheel, and when the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are combined, power of an electric drive system can be transmitted to the wheel through the first disc member 1, the second disc member 21, and the half shaft), and the other of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 being for connection with the electric drive system; the electromagnet 4 and the limit member 3 are both arranged on the first disc member 1, the limit member 3 can move relative to the first disc member 1, the slide member 5 is in sliding connection with the second disc member 21, the slide member 5 is provided with a limit groove 511, the slide member 5 is magnetic, the first disc member 1 is provided with an abutting groove 121, the polarity of the electromagnet 4 can be adjusted, so that part of the slide member 5 can move from between the inner part and the outer part of the abutting groove 121, and part of the limit member 3 can move from between the inner part and the outer part of the limit groove 511;
When a portion of the slide member 5 is located inside the abutment groove 121 and a portion of the stopper member 3 is located inside the stopper groove 511, both sides of the slide member 5, which are opposite to each other in the circumferential direction, abut against the groove wall of the abutment groove 121, and both side walls of the stopper groove 511, which are opposite in the radial direction, abut against the stopper portion 33 of the stopper member 3, which is described below. Furthermore, a further explanation is needed here: the groove portions such as the abutment groove 121 and the stopper groove 511 may be understood as being formed by partially cutting out the first disk member 1 and the slide member 5, the inside of the groove portions may be understood as a space occupied by the cut-out portions, and the outside of the groove portions may be a space outside the space occupied by the cut-out portions.
In the use of the disconnecting device of the present application, when the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are required to be combined, the electromagnet 4 is energized, and the polarity of the electromagnet 4 is opposite to that of the slide member 5, the electromagnet 4 attracts the slide member 5 so that the slide member 5 moves toward the electromagnet 4, a portion of the slide member 5 protrudes into the abutment groove 121, both sides of the slide member 5 opposite to each other in the circumferential direction abut against the groove wall of the abutment groove 121, and thus, fixation of the slide member 5 in the radial direction is achieved by the abutment groove 121 on the first disc member 1. The part of the limiting member 3 extends into the limiting groove 511, and two opposite side walls of the limiting groove 511 in the radial direction are abutted against the limiting member 3. In this way, the stopper member 3 can realize the stopper of the slide member 5 in the radial direction. In this way, the fixing of the slide member 5 is achieved by the abutment groove 121 and the stopper member 3, thereby achieving the relative fixing of the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21, and torque can be transmitted between the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21. At this time, the electromagnet 4 is deenergized, the abutment groove 121 and the stopper member 3 can remain fixed to the slide member 5, and torque can still be transmitted between the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21.
When it is desired to disconnect the first disc member 1 from the second disc member 21, the electromagnet 4 is energized (the current flow here is in the opposite direction to that described above) so that the polarity of the electromagnet 4 is the same as that of the slide member 5, the electromagnet 4 repels the slide member 5, the stop member 3 moves out of the stop slot 511, and the slide member 5 moves out of the abutment slot 121. At this time, the abutment groove 121 and the stopper member 3 cannot regulate the slide member 5, and torque cannot be transmitted between the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21. The electromagnet 4 is powered off, the abutment groove 121 and the limiting member 3 still cannot limit the sliding member 5, and torque still cannot be transmitted between the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21.
As described above, when the disconnecting device of the present application is used, the electromagnet 4 is energized only when the coupling operation and the disconnecting operation are performed. After the electromagnet 4 is powered off, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 can still maintain the combined state or the disconnected state, the electromagnet 4 does not need to be continuously powered on, and the loss of electric energy is reduced.
Alternatively, the first disc member 1 may be connected to an electric drive system, in which case the second disc member 21 is connected to the half shaft. The first disc member 1 may also be connected to a half shaft, in which case the second disc member 21 is connected to an electric drive system.

When the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are in the disconnected state, the slide members 5 are all located in the slide grooves 211. When the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are in the coupled state, a portion of the slide member 5 is removed from the slide groove 211, and at least a part of the removed portion is located in the abutment groove 121, thereby enabling torque transmission between the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21.
Further, the second plate member 21 is provided with a first groove portion 2111 and a second groove portion 2112, the first groove portion 2111 is formed to be recessed from a side of the second plate member 21 facing away from the main body portion 11 toward the main body portion 11 side, and the second groove portion 2112 is formed to be recessed from a bottom portion of the first groove portion 2111 toward the main body portion 11 side; the slider 51 is positioned in the first groove portion 2111, and the lock block 52 is positioned in the second groove portion 2112. When the position of the slide member 5 corresponds to the position of the electromagnet 4, the second groove portion 2112 communicates with the abutment groove 121, and the lock block 52 slides from the second groove portion 2112 toward the abutment groove 121.

Alternatively, the form of the structure on the second disc member 21 for connection with the axle shaft is not limited to a flange, and for example, the second disc member 21 may be connected with the axle shaft or the output shaft of the electric drive system by a spline, flat key or the like.
Further, the disconnecting device further includes a second elastic member 24, one end of the second elastic member 24 is connected to the groove wall of the first groove portion 2111, the other end of the second elastic member 24 is connected to the slider 51 of the sliding member 5, and the second elastic member 24 is located inside the first groove portion 2111. When the electromagnet 4 is not energized, the second disk member 21 rotates, and at this time, the second elastic member 24 applies a force to the sliding member 5 toward the middle of the second disk member 21, and the force applied to the sliding member 5 by the second elastic member 24 is larger than the centrifugal force of the sliding member 5, so that the lock block 52 does not slide out from the second groove portion 2112. When the electromagnet 4 is energized, the electromagnet 4 applies a force to the slide member 5 when the second disk member 21 rotates to a position where the position of the slide member 5 corresponds to the position of the electromagnet 4, so that the second elastic member 24 is elongated, and a portion of the lock block 52 slides out of the second groove portion 2112.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the disconnecting means includes a first detector 16 and a second detector 23, the first detector 16 being provided at an end of the abutment groove 121 remote from the second disc member 21, and an end of the lock block 52 facing the extension 12 being capable of abutting the first detector 16 when the electromagnet 4 attracts the slide member 5 to move until the electromagnet 4 engages with the slide member 5. The second detector 23 is provided at an end of the second groove portion 2112 away from the extension portion 12, and when the electromagnet 4 is not energized, an end of the lock block 52 away from the extension portion 12 can abut against the second detector 23. In this way, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 of the disconnecting device can be detected in the disconnected state or the engaged state by the first detector 16 and the second detector 23.
Alternatively, the first detector and the second detector may be travel switches.
With the first disc member 1 connected to the electric drive system, the second disc member 21 connected to the half shaft, and the slide member 5 having an end of "N" as shown in fig. 1 and 2, for example, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are in a disconnected state, and the slide member 5 is entirely located in the slide groove 211, so that torque cannot be transmitted between the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21. At this time, both the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 can rotate, the centrifugal force applied to the sliding member 5 is insufficient to overcome the pulling force of the second elastic member 24, so that the sliding member slides out of the sliding groove 211, the end of the engaging portion 31 of the limiting member 3 is spaced from the electromagnet 4, the end of the limiting portion 33 of the limiting member 3 is close to the electromagnet 4, and the two limiting portions 33 of the two limiting members 3 are closed, so as to avoid the sliding member 5 from being erroneously inserted into the abutting groove 121.
After receiving the signal of combining the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21, the electromagnet 4 is energized, the polarity of the electromagnet 4 is S-pole, under the action of the magnetism of the electromagnet 4, the limiting member 3 overcomes the tension of the first elastic member 17, the limiting member 3 rotates, the end of the engaging portion 31 of the limiting member 3 contacts with the electromagnet 4, the ends of the limiting portions 33 of the limiting member 3 move in the direction away from the electromagnet 4, the ends of the limiting portions 33 of the two limiting members 3 are in an open state, and the states of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are shown in fig. 7 and 8. When the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are rotated until the slide member 5 corresponds to the position of the electromagnet 4, the slide member 5 overcomes the tensile force of the first elastic member 17 under the action of electromagnetic force and centrifugal force, so that the portion of the lock block 52 of the slide member 5 enters the abutment groove 121, and the end portion of the slide member 5 is in contact with the electromagnet 4. During the process that part of the locking block 52 slides into the abutting groove 121, the sliding block 51 abuts against the connecting portion 32 to drive the limiting member 3 to rotate, so that the limiting portion 33 moves towards the locking block 52, and when the end portion of the sliding member 5 contacts with the electromagnet 4, part of the limiting portion 33 stretches into the limiting groove 511, and limiting of the sliding member 5 in the radial direction is achieved. Since the both side walls of the lock block 52 opposite to each other in the circumferential direction are abutted against the abutment groove 121, the restriction of the slide member 5 in the circumferential direction is achieved, and at this time, the state of the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 is as shown in fig. 9 and 10, and the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 can transmit torque. When the lock block 52 abuts against the first detector 16, the electromagnet 4 is turned off, and the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are completely bonded.
Alternatively, since there is a difference in rotation speed of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21, the rotation speed of the first disc member 1 may be adjusted by the electric drive system so that a portion of the lock block 52 of the slide member 5 enters the abutment groove 121.
When the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are required to be separated, the electromagnet 4 is electrified, the polarity of the electromagnet 4 is N, under the action of the magnetism of the electromagnet 4, the limiting member 3 overcomes the tensile force of the first elastic member 17, the limiting member 3 rotates, the end of the joint part 31 of the limiting member 3 contacts with the electromagnet 4, the limiting part 33 of the limiting member 3 moves out of the limiting groove 511, and the ends of the limiting parts 33 of the two limiting members 3 are in an open state. Since the polarity of the electromagnet 4 is the same as that of the slide member 5, the lock block 52 of the slide member 5 is moved out of the abutment groove 121 and all returns to the second slide groove 211 by the repulsion of the electromagnet 4. When the lock blocks 52 of the slide member 5 are all returned from the contact grooves 121 to the second slide grooves 211, the lock blocks 52 are brought into contact with the second detector 23, and at this time, the electromagnet 4 is turned off, and the stopper member 3 is returned to its original position, thereby completing the disconnection of the first disk member 1 from the second disk member 21.
Through the disconnection device of this application, only when carrying out the combination action and breaking action, electro-magnet 4 circular telegram, electro-magnet 4 need not to keep on circular telegram, has reduced the loss of electric energy.
According to another aspect of the present application, there is provided a method for operating a disconnection device, as shown in fig. 11, the method for controlling the disconnection device including:
a first acquisition step: acquiring the connection state of the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21;
a first judging step: a first determination is made as to whether the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 is the same as the intended connection state, and the disconnecting device is controlled to maintain the initial state or the electromagnet 4 is controlled to perform the operation of changing the connection state based on the result of the first determination, and when the operation of changing the connection state of the electromagnet 4 is completed, the electromagnet 4 is powered off.
The disconnecting device is controlled by the control method, so that the electromagnet 4 is electrified only when the combining action and the disconnecting action are carried out, continuous electrification is not needed, and the loss of electric energy is reduced.
In the control method of the disconnecting device of the present application, acquiring the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 includes:
when the first detector 16 detects the sliding member 5 and the second detector 23 does not detect the sliding member 5, the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are in a coupled state;
when the first detector 16 does not detect the sliding member 5 and the second detector 23 detects the sliding member 5, the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are in a disconnected state.
At this time, if the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 detect the sliding member 5 at the same time, or the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 do not detect the sliding member 5 at the same time, at least one of the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 malfunctions, at which time the electromagnet 4 is powered off, and the disconnecting device only needs to be kept in an initial state.
Determining whether the connection state of the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 satisfies the intended connection state includes:
when the result of the first judgment indicates that the expected connection state is the same as the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21, the disconnecting means maintains the initial state;
when the result of the first determination indicates that the expected connection state is different from the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21, the electromagnet 4 performs an action of changing the connection state.
Specifically, when the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are in the expected connection state, and if the first detector 16 does not detect the sliding member 5 and the second detector 23 detects the sliding member 5, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are in the connection state, and the expected connection state is the same as the actual connection state, and the disconnection device only needs to maintain the initial state; if the first detector 16 detects the slide member 5 and the second detector 23 does not detect the slide member 5, the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are in the disconnected state, and the expected connection state is different from the actual connection state, and the electromagnet 4 is required to perform the operation of changing the connection state. When the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are disconnected from each other in the expected connection state, if the first detector 16 does not detect the slide member 5 and the second detector 23 detects the slide member 5, the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are in the coupled state, and the expected connection state is different from the actual connection state, and the electromagnet 4 is required to perform an operation of changing the connection state.
In addition, if the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 detect the sliding member 5 at the same time or the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 detect no sliding member 5 at the same time, at least one of the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 malfunctions, and the opening device only needs to be maintained in an initial state.
When the electromagnet 4 performs the action of changing the connection state, the electromagnet 4 is energized, and when the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are required to be combined, the polarity of the electromagnet 4 is opposite to the polarity of the sliding member 5, so that the sliding member 5 is attracted by the electromagnet 4, and the combination of the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 is completed; when it is necessary to disconnect the first disc member 1 from the second disc member 21, the polarity of the electromagnet 4 is the same as the polarity of the slide member 5, so that the slide member 5 is repelled by the electromagnet 4, thereby completing the separation of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21.
The control method of the disconnecting device further comprises the following steps:
a second acquisition step: after the disconnecting means performs the action of changing the connection state for a predetermined time, the connection state of the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 is again acquired;
and a second judging step: a second determination is made as to whether the newly acquired connection state of the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 satisfies the intended connection state, and the electromagnet 4 is controlled to be powered off or the electric drive system is controlled to perform the adjustment operation based on the result of the second determination.
In this way, after the electromagnet 4 is energized, it can be determined whether or not the change of the connection state of the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 is completed by the first detector 16 and the second detector 23.
Specifically, when the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are in the coupled state when the sliding member 5 is not detected by the first detector 16 and the sliding member 5 is detected by the second detector 23 after the electromagnet 4 performs the operation of changing the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 to the coupled state for a predetermined time when the desired coupled state is the coupled state, the electromagnet 4 is turned off, and the operation of changing the coupled state is completed by the electromagnet 4; if the first detector 16 detects the sliding member 5 and the second detector 23 does not detect the sliding member 5, the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are in the disconnected state, the expected connection state is different from the actual connection state, and the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are not changed to the coupled state, and at this time, the electric drive system performs the adjustment operation.
When the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are in the coupled state when the sliding member 5 is not detected by the first detector 16 and the sliding member 5 is detected by the second detector 23 after the electromagnet 4 performs the operation of changing the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 to the off state for a predetermined time when the expected connection state is the off state, the expected connection state is different from the actual connection state, and the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are not changed to the off state, at this time, the electric drive system performs the adjustment operation; when the first detector 16 detects the sliding member 5 and the second detector 23 does not detect the sliding member 5, the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are in the disconnected state, the expected connection state is the same as the actual connection state, the electromagnet 4 completes the operation of changing the connection state, and the electromagnet 4 is powered off.
In addition, if the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 detect the sliding member 5 at the same time or the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 detect no sliding member 5 at the same time, at least one of the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 fails, and at this time, the electromagnet 4 is powered off, and the disconnection device only needs to be kept in an initial state.
Further, when the result of the second judgment indicates that the expected connection state is the same as the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21, the electromagnet 4 is powered off;
when the result of the second judgment indicates that the expected connection state is different from the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21, a third judgment is made as to whether the number of times the electric drive system adjusts the rotation speed is smaller than the expected adjustment number, and the electric drive system is controlled to adjust the rotation speed or the electromagnet 4 is powered off based on the judgment result.
When the third judging result shows that the number of times of adjusting the rotating speed of the electric drive system is greater than or equal to the expected adjusting number of times, the electromagnet 4 is powered off;
when the third judgment result indicates that the number of times the rotation speed of the electric drive system is adjusted is smaller than the expected number of times of adjustment, the electric drive system adjusts the rotation speed, keeps the electromagnet 4 to execute the action of changing the connection state, and then executes the second judgment step.
In this way, if the number of adjustments is greater than or equal to the expected number of adjustments, the expected connection state is still different from the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21, and the switching of the connection state between the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 fails, the electromagnet 4 is powered off, and the disconnection device maintains the initial state. If the number of adjustments is smaller than the expected number of adjustments, the rotational speed of the electric drive system may be overadjusted, thereby adjusting the rotational speed of the first disc member 1 so that the portion of the locking block 52 of the slide member 5 can be moved into the abutment groove 121 or out of the abutment groove 121, after which the second determination step is continued.
When the control method of the disconnecting device of the present application is executed, when the initial state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 is the disconnected state and the expected connection state is the combined state, the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 is firstly obtained, and the first judgment is made on the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 and the expected connection state, if the first detector 16 does not detect the sliding member 5, and the second detector 23 detects the sliding member 5, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are in the combined state, and the expected connection state is the same as the actual connection state, and the disconnecting device only needs to keep the initial state; if the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 detect the sliding member 5 at the same time or the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 do not detect the sliding member 5 at the same time, at least one of the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 fails, and the disconnecting device only needs to be kept in an initial state; if the first detector 16 detects the slide member 5 and the second detector 23 does not detect the slide member 5, the first disk member 1 and the second disk member 21 are in the disconnected state, and the expected connection state is different from the actual connection state, and the electromagnet 4 is required to perform the operation of changing the connection state.
After that, the electromagnet 4 performs the action of changing the connection state, the electromagnet 4 is energized, and the polarity of the electromagnet 4 is opposite to that of the sliding member 5, so that the part of the sliding member 5 can extend into the abutting groove 121, and the part of the limiting member 3 enters into the limiting groove 511. After the electromagnet 4 performs the operation of changing the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 to the combined state for a predetermined time, the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 is obtained, the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 is judged for the second time, if the sliding member 5 is not detected by the first detector 16 and the sliding member 5 is detected by the second detector 23, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are in the combined state, the expected connection state is the same as the actual connection state, the electromagnet 4 is powered off, the operation of changing the connection state of the electromagnet 4 is completed, and the electromagnet 4 is powered off; if the first detector 16 detects the sliding member 5 and the second detector 23 does not detect the sliding member 5, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are in the disconnected state, the expected connection state is different from the actual connection state, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are not changed to the combined state, at this time, a third judgment is made as to whether the number of times of adjustment of the rotation speed of the electric drive system is smaller than the expected number of times of adjustment, if the number of times of adjustment is greater than or equal to the expected number of times of adjustment, the expected connection state is still different from the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21, the connection state between the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 fails to switch, the electromagnet 4 is powered off, and the disconnection device maintains the initial state. If the number of adjustments is smaller than the expected number of adjustments, the rotational speed of the electric drive system may be adjusted so as to adjust the rotational speed of the first disc member 1 so that the portion of the lock block 52 of the slide member 5 can be moved into the abutment groove 121 or out of the abutment groove 121, after which the second determination step is continued to determine the connection state between the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21.
When the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are disconnected in the expected connection state, if the first detector 16 does not detect the sliding member 5 and the second detector 23 detects the sliding member 5, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are in the combined state, and the expected connection state is different from the actual connection state, and the electromagnet 4 is required to perform the action of changing the connection state; if the first detector 16 detects the sliding member 5 and the second detector 23 does not detect the sliding member 5, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are in a disconnected state, and the expected connection state is the same as the actual connection state, and the disconnection device only needs to maintain the initial state.
When the initial state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 is the combined state and the expected connection state is the disconnected state, the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 is first obtained, and the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 is first judged, and if the sliding member 5 is not detected by the first detector 16 and the sliding member 5 is detected by the second detector 23, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are in the combined state, and the expected connection state is different from the actual connection state, and the electromagnet 4 is required to execute the action of changing the connection state; if the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 detect the sliding member 5 at the same time or the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 do not detect the sliding member 5 at the same time, at least one of the first detector 16 and the second detector 23 fails, and the disconnecting device only needs to be kept in an initial state; if the first detector 16 detects the sliding member 5 and the second detector 23 does not detect the sliding member 5, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are in a disconnected state, and the expected connection state is the same as the actual connection state, and the disconnection device only needs to maintain the initial state.
After that, the electromagnet 4 performs the action of changing the connection state, the electromagnet 4 is electrified, the polarity of the electromagnet 4 is the same as that of the sliding member 5, so that part of the limiting member 3 moves out of the limiting groove 511, and part of the sliding member 5 can move out of the abutting groove 121. After the electromagnet 4 performs the operation of changing the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 to the coupled state for a predetermined time, the coupled state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 is acquired, and the coupled state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 is determined in a second manner, and if the sliding member 5 is not detected by the first detector 16 and the sliding member 5 is detected by the second detector 23, the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are in the coupled state, and the coupled state is different from the actual coupled state, and the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 are not changed to the coupled state. And then, judging whether the number of times of adjusting the rotating speed of the electric drive system is smaller than the expected number of times of adjusting, if the number of times of adjusting is larger than or equal to the expected number of times of adjusting, the expected connection state is still different from the connection state of the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21, the connection state between the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21 fails to switch, the electromagnet 4 is powered off, and the disconnecting device keeps an initial state. If the number of adjustments is smaller than the expected number of adjustments, the rotational speed of the electric drive system may be adjusted so as to adjust the rotational speed of the first disc member 1 so that the portion of the lock block 52 of the slide member 5 can be moved into the abutment groove 121 or out of the abutment groove 121, after which the second determination step is continued to determine the connection state between the first disc member 1 and the second disc member 21.
