Abstract

Disclosed are a dual-motor multi-gear hybrid transmission system and a vehicle. The dual-motor multi-gear hybrid transmission system includes an engine, a first motor, a second motor, a first clutch, a second clutch, a first planet row, a second planet row, a first input shaft, a second input shaft, a third input shaft and a brake assembly. The first input shaft is connected to the engine through the first clutch. The second input shaft is connected to the engine through the second clutch, and the second input shaft is sleeved outside the first input shaft. The first motor is connected to the engine. The second motor is connected to the first planet row through the third input shaft. The brake assembly is configured to brake the first planet row and/or the second planet row.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dual-motor multi-gear hybrid transmission system, comprising an engine, a first motor, a second motor, a first clutch, a second clutch, a first planet row, a second planet row, a first input shaft, a second input shaft, a third input shaft and a brake assembly, wherein:
the first input shaft is connected to the engine through the first clutch;
the second input shaft is connected to the engine through the second clutch, and the second input shaft is sleeved outside the first input shaft;
the first motor is connected to the engine;
the second motor is connected to the first planet row through the third input shaft; and
the brake assembly is configured to brake the first planet row and/or the second planet row,
the first planet row comprises a first sun gear, a first planet carrier, a first planet gear and a first gear ring;
the second planet row comprises a second sun gear, a second planet carrier, a second planet gear and a second gear ring;
the first planet carrier is connected to the second gear ring, and the second planet carrier is connected to the first gear ring;
the brake assembly comprises a second brake connected to the second sun gear;
the dual-motor multi-gear hybrid transmission further comprises a first intermediate shaft sleeved outside the first input shaft; and
the second brake is connected to the second sun gear through the first intermediate shaft.

2. The dual-motor multi-gear hybrid transmission system of claim 1 , wherein the brake assembly comprises a first brake connected to the second planet carrier.

3. The dual-motor multi-gear hybrid transmission system of claim 1 , further comprising a second intermediate shaft connected to the second gear ring and configured to output power.

4. The dual-motor multi-gear hybrid transmission system of claim 3 , further comprising a differential connected to the second intermediate shaft.

5. The dual-motor multi-gear hybrid transmission system of claim 1 , further comprising a torsional damper provided between the engine and the first motor.

6. The dual-motor multi-gear hybrid transmission system of claim 1 , wherein:
both the first motor and the second motor are connected to a power battery, and
the dual-motor multi-gear hybrid transmission system has one or more of the following modes:
a pure electric mode, wherein the second motor as a driving motor works by using electric energy of the power battery, the engine does not work, and the first motor does not work;
a series mode, wherein the second motor as the driving motor works by using the electric energy of the power battery, the first motor as a generator is driven by the engine to supply power to the second motor or to charge the power battery under a preset working condition;
a parallel mode, wherein the engine operates at a preset economical operating point, the second motor performs power output according to a current dynamic demand or charges the power battery according to an electric power demand of the power battery, and the first motor does not work; and
a power-split mode, wherein the second motor as the driving motor works by using the electric energy of the power battery, the engine works, and the first motor as a generator is driven by the engine to generate electricity for the use of the second motor, or
the second motor as the driving motor works by using the electric energy of the power battery, the engine works, and the first motor as the driving motor works by using the electric energy of the power battery.

7. A vehicle, comprising the dual-motor multi-gear hybrid transmission system of claim 1 .
