The disclosure relates to the field of electric vehicles, and in particular to a coaxial asynchronous motor drive system.
Climate change and energy and environment issues are long-term challenges that human society faces together. As the United States said it will be back to attend the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, emerging countries including China and India as representatives have accession to the convention and major countries actively implement energy and environmental protection strategies, the world has entered an era of truly addressing the common issues of human society. Effectively solving the three major issues of greenhouse gas emission, energy consumption and exhaust emission in the field of transportation has direct influences on solving the common issues of human beings. To this end, governments, organizations, vehicle manufacturers, energy suppliers and venture capital enterprises of major countries in the world act together to promote the upgrading of an industrial structure of the global auto industry and the strategic transformation of power systems toward electrification, promote the formation of social basic industries of electric vehicles having multi-level structures and the formulation of corresponding policies, promote the construction of a security system, and support the formation of a sustainable electric vehicle society.
As a country with huge energy consumption in the world and a major force of environmental protection, China has actively implemented the scientific and technological strategy of electric vehicles, promoted the upgrading of the industrial structure of the vehicle industry and the electric transformation of the power system, fostered and developed the electric vehicle society, and achieved certain effects. Reducing the greenhouse gas emission in the field of transportation is an important means to solve the global climate change and a prerequisite for building the sustainable electric vehicle society. Electric vehicles have no exhaust that will be produced by internal combustion engines in operation and as such do not cause exhaust pollution, which is beneficial to environmental protection and air cleanliness, and are almost “pollution-free”. In addition, the application of electric vehicles can effectively reduce the dependence on petroleum resources, and thus the limited petroleum resources can be used for more important aspects.
At present, battery electric four-wheel-drive vehicles, P4-type electric bridge four-wheel-drive hybrid vehicles, etc. mostly use permanent magnet synchronous motors. However, in most cases, especially in high-speed cruising, a permanent magnet auxiliary drive system does not output torque but needs to consume energy to achieve zero-torque control, which will reduce the distance per charge of the vehicle. At present, most motor drive systems use a parallel-shaft speed reducer. Such speed reducer has a simple structure, but has a large size, especially in a vehicle length direction, which facilitates maximum utilization of available space of the vehicle.

an input shaft and an output shaft of the speed reducer are in a line, and a speed reducer input gear is provided on a hollow motor shaft of the electric motor; and
the electric motor controller controls to drive the gear on the hollow motor shaft of the electric motor to mesh with an intermediate shaft assembly to transfer a torque to an integral differential, and the torque is output to two sides via the integral differential, with a differential axle shaft gear spline on one side thereof being connected to a vehicle axle shaft, and a differential axle shaft gear spline on the other side thereof being connected to a short axle shaft which passes through a motor rotor and which is provided with a spline and a retaining ring at a motor exposed end for connection to a vehicle axle shaft internal spline.
As a further preferred solution of the disclosure, the intermediate shaft assembly is supported on a gearbox casing cover and a main housing assembly by means of a first intermediate shaft cone bearing and a second intermediate shaft cone bearing, respectively.

As a further preferred solution of the disclosure, the distance between the top of the motor controller and the center of a circle of a gearbox-side output end is not more than 210 mm, which has a direct influence on an available space above a vehicle EDS.
As a further preferred solution of the disclosure, the distance between the center of a circle of the gearbox-side output end and the bottom of the main housing is not more than 143 mm, which has a direct influence on the ground clearance of a vehicle.
As a further preferred solution of the disclosure, the distance between the center of a circle of the gearbox-side output end and an end of the main housing in a forward direction is not more than 188 mm, which occupies the dimension of a front suspension space of the vehicle, and a smaller L31 is more conducive to the integration of a larger front trunk in the vehicle.
