This application claims the benefit of priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201410658447.8, filed Nov. 18, 2014, the contents of which are incorporated entirely herein by reference BACKGROUND
Unless otherwise indicated herein, the elements described in this section, the technical field, and the background art are not prior art to the claims and are not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section.
A. Technical Field
This application relates to a vehicle hybrid-power driving system. A vehicle hybrid-power driving system described in this application can include synchronizers that are cooperatively switched and gearwheels that are shared in different gear ratios (i.e., speed ratios), so that a compact structure of the system can be obtained and effective cooperation of an electric motor (or more simply, “EM”) and an internal combustion engine (or more simply, “engine” or “ICE”) in multiple speed ratios can be achieved. A clutch in the vehicle hybrid-power driving system can allow for shifting of gears without interrupting the transmission of power.
B. Background Art
As the pollution of the environment, the demand for petroleum, and the requirements for vehicle emission equipment increase, vehicles with new power sources get more and more attention. Hybrid-power vehicles are widely used, at least in part, because of their low operating cost and low emissions. In known hybrid-power vehicles, the ICE, the clutch, the EM, and the transmission are disposed in sequence and occupy a large space in a vehicle. Deploying those hybrid-power vehicle components in such a layout can result in limiting the size of the EM, and as a result, limiting the power of the EM and the power capacity of the vehicle. As such, the fuel use efficiency cannot be improved significantly with respect to non-hybrid vehicles. Furthermore, the driving ability in a pure motor driving mode is not satisfying when the power of the EM is too low.
Furthermore still, in current vehicle hybrid-power driving systems, driving comfort cannot be ensured since power interruption cannot be avoided automatically in the configuration having a single clutch. In a known vehicle hybrid-power driving system, the power transmitting path of the EM is joined midway into several of the power transmitting paths of the ICE, which results in a vehicle hybrid-power driving system having complex power transmitting paths.
This application describes several example embodiments, at least some of which pertain to a hybrid-power driving system (HPDS) and components thereof such as, but not limited to, transmissions and gearboxes, and methods of transmitting power through or within an HPDS and transmission.
In one respect, an example embodiment can take the form of an HPDS comprising: (i) an input shaft having disposed thereon a first driving gearwheel, a second driving gearwheel, a third driving gearwheel, a reverse-gear driving gearwheel, a first synchronizer, and a second synchronizer, wherein the first synchronizer is disposed between the first driving gearwheel and the second driving gearwheel, and wherein the second synchronizer is disposed between the third driving gearwheel and the reverse-gear driving gearwheel, (ii) a first intermediate shaft having disposed thereon a first speed-reducing gearwheel, a first driven gearwheel, a second driven gearwheel, a third driven gearwheel, a reverse-gear driven gearwheel, and a third synchronizer, wherein the third synchronizer is disposed between the first driven gearwheel and the second driven gearwheel, (iii) a second intermediate shaft having disposed thereon a first idler gearwheel and a second idler gearwheel, (iv) a first idler having disposed thereon a reverse-gear idler gearwheel, (v) a motor shaft, and (vi) a differential having gearwheels including a second speed-reducing gearwheel, wherein (i) the first driving gearwheel meshes with the first driven gearwheel, (ii) the second driving gearwheel meshes with the second driven gearwheel, (iii) the third driving gearwheel meshes with the third driven gearwheel, (iv) the reverse-gear driving gearwheel meshes with the reverse-gear idler gearwheel, (v) the reverse-gear driven gearwheel meshes with the reverse-gear idler gearwheel, (vi) the first idler gearwheel meshes with the first driven gearwheel, (vii) the second idler gearwheel meshes with the second driven gearwheel, and (viii) the first speed-reducing gearwheel meshes with the second speed-reducing gearwheel.
These as well as other aspects and advantages will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art by reading the following detailed description, with reference where appropriate to the accompanying drawings. Further, it should be understood that the embodiments described in this overview and elsewhere are intended to be examples only and do not necessarily limit the scope of the invention.
Example embodiments are described herein with reference to the drawings.
This description describes several example embodiments. The example embodiments can be applicable to an HPDS and components of or usable in an HPDS or usable in another type of driving system. A driving system, such as an HPDS or otherwise, can be installed within a vehicle such as, but not limited to, an automobile or a truck. An HPDS installed or installable within a vehicle can be referred to as a vehicle HPDS. Each example embodiment described herein can be a vehicle HPDS or a portion thereof, but is not so limited.
The example embodiments can provide for an HPDS having a structure that is compact and that can provide a pure engine driving mode (PEDM), a pure motor driving mode (PMDM), and a hybrid-power driving mode (HDM). At least one of the power capacity and fuel efficiency of a vehicle can be improved significantly by use of at least one of the example embodiments. The HPDS can include synchronizers that are cooperatively switched and gearwheels that are used in multiple speed ratios. This can provide for a compact structure of the transmission or gearbox and effective cooperation of an EM and an ICE in multiple speed ratios can be achieved. The HPDS can include a single clutch and gear shifting can be conducted without power interruption. Furthermore, power interruption during gear shifting can be avoided by alternate operation of the EM and the ICE.
In accordance with the example embodiments, an HPDS can include a transmission or gearbox having common gears that are shared in different speed ratios. The benefits of such a system include, but are not limited to, a reduced number of transmission components, a more compact structure, and a lower cost to produce the system. The transmission can be coupled to an ICE operable in the PEDM and the HDM and to an EM operable in the PMDM and the HDM.
The example embodiments provide flexibility in designing vehicles due to the alternative locations and arrangements of the EM that are possible by using the example embodiments. For example, in some example embodiments, the EM can be disposed in a side position relative to the transmission, whereas in other example embodiments, the EM can be disposed in an axial position relative to the transmission so as to reduce the occupied space in the axial direction.
In accordance with the example embodiments, the EM can provide two forward speed ratios. In this manner, the speed of the EM can be kept relatively low so that the EM can operate at higher efficiency levels. The ICE can operate under five or more forward speed ratios so that the operation efficiency of the ICE is high.
The example embodiments can include a single clutch transmission and a three synchronizer gearbox or transmission that provides for at least five forward speed ratios. A person having ordinary skill in the art will understand that the described example embodiments allow for a more compact HPDS arrangement as compared to an HPDS arrangement having at least one of (i) two or more clutches, and (ii) four or more synchronizers.
Within this description, the articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are used to introduce elements of the example embodiments. The intent of using those articles is that there is one or more of the elements. The intent of using the conjunction “or” within a list of at least two terms in this description is to indicate any of the listed terms or any combination of the listed terms. For example, in a list of terms recited as “A, B, or C,” the combinations indicated by that list of terms include “A and B,” “A and C,” “B, and C,” and “A, B, and C.” The use of ordinal numbers such as “first,” “second,” “third,” and so on in the description is to distinguish respective elements rather than to denote a particular order of those elements unless the context of using those terms explicitly indicates otherwise.
The diagrams and power transmission paths shown in the figures are provided merely as examples and are not intended to be limiting. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other arrangements of the elements shown in the figures can be used instead.
The ICE 30 and the EM 50 can each output power. The power (P) output by the ICE 30 can be calculated using the relationship TICE×WICE, where TICE equals the torque at the flywheel of the engine and WICE equals an angular speed of the flywheel. The power (P) output by the EM 50 can be calculated using the relationship TEM×WEM, where TEM equals the torque of a rotor within the EM 50 and WEM equals an angular speed of the rotor. The power output by the ICE 30 can be transmitted (e.g., transferred) to a clutch 40 and to an input shaft of the transmission 70, and, in turn, to wheels of a vehicle. The power output by the EM 50 can be output to the input shaft of the transmission 70 and, in turn, to the wheels of the vehicle. The power received by the transmission 70 from the ICE 30 or the EM 50 can be referred to as input power. Since the power transmitted by the transmission 70 includes a torque aspect, the transmission of power through or by the transmission 70 can be referred to as the transmission of torque through or by the transmission 70.
The transmission 70 includes an input shaft 1, a motor shaft 2 extending out from a rotor 51 of the EM 50, a reverse-gear idler shaft 3, an intermediate shaft 4, an intermediate shaft 5, a pair of differential half-axles 6a and 6b, and an idler shaft 7. For convenience purposes, the eight aforementioned shafts and half-axles are referred to herein as the “eight transmission shafts of the transmission 70.” The half-axles 6a and 6b are differential half-axles of the differential 60. Differential half-axle 6a can be referred to as a half-axle and an output shaft. Differential half-axle 6b can be referred to as a half-axle and an output shaft
Each of the eight transmission shafts of the transmission 70 can be mounted to, or at least partially within, a transmission case at locations that allow for gearwheels on those transmission shafts to mesh with at least one other gearwheel as described herein. Each of the eight transmission shafts of the transmission 70 can be spatially arranged parallel with each other. The transmission case can form or include a gearbox within which gearwheels of the transmission 70 and at least a portion of the eight transmission shafts of the transmission 70 are located. The EM 50 or a portion thereof can be located within the transmission case. Alternatively, the EM 50 can be located outside of the transmission case.
Each of the eight transmission shafts of the transmission 70 can have a first shaft-end-portion and a second shaft-end-portion opposite the first shaft-end-portion axially (e.g., longitudinally). With reference to
The transmission 70 can include sleeves (e.g., a hollow shaft) 12a, 13a, 14a, 15a, and 16a. Sleeves 12a, 13a, and 14a are carried by the input shaft 1. Sleeves 15a and 16a are carried by the intermediate shaft 4.
The transmission 70 includes multiple driving gearwheels that drive at least one other gearwheel or causes at least one other gearwheel to turn. A driving gearwheel can be referred to as a “drive gearwheel.” The transmission 70 includes multiple driven gearwheels. Each driven gearwheel can be driven by another gearwheel (e.g., driven by a driving gearwheel) or by a transmission shaft. One or more of the driving gearwheels described herein can act as a driven gearwheel for at least some of the power transmitting paths. For purposes of this description, the term “gearwheel” can be stated more simply as just “gear.”
In an example embodiment of the HPDS 100 including the ICE 30, the input shaft 1 can be coupled to the ICE 30 by use of a clutch 40. As an example, the clutch 40 can include a pressure plate assembly, a throw-out bearing, a throw-our fork, and a clutch disk to engage a flywheel of the ICE 30, but the clutch 40 is not so limited. The clutch 40 can have an engaged state in which an output of the ICE 30 (e.g., the flywheel) is connected to the input shaft 1 (e.g., by way of the clutch disk). When viewed from a front side of the ICE 30 (opposite a back side of the ICE 30 to which the flywheel is connected), the power or torque output by the ICE 30 can turn the clutch 40 in a clockwise direction. Other references herein to the ICE 30 or a shaft of the transmission 70 turning in a clockwise direction are considered from the same viewpoint. Clutch 40 can have a disengaged state in which the output of the ICE 30 is not connected to the input shaft 1.
The transmission 70 can include a driving gearwheel 11, a synchronizer 9, a driving gearwheel 12, a driving gearwheel 13, a synchronizer 8, and a reverse-gear driving gearwheel 14 disposed on the input shaft 1 in a sequence from left to right (e.g., from the first shaft-end-portion to the second shaft-end portion) as shown in
Each synchronizer can include a hub, a synchronizer sleeve, and two blocker rings, but is not so limited. A synchronizer can be configured as a block synchronizer, a cone synchronizer, a pin synchronizer, but is not so limited. Each synchronizer described herein can be moved axially along a shaft on which the synchronizer is disposed. Axial movement of the synchronizer towards a gearwheel adjacent to the synchronizer can lead to coupling (i.e., engagement of) the gearwheel and the shaft upon which the synchronizer and gearwheel are carried. Axial movement of the synchronizer away from a gearwheel adjacent to the synchronizer can lead to uncoupling (i.e., disengagement of) the gearwheel and the shaft upon which the synchronizer and gearwheel are carried.
A gearwheel that couples with a shaft by a synchronizer can rotate in the same direction and same speed as the shaft when the gearwheel is coupled (i.e., engaged or locked) to the shaft. Any description herein of a gearwheel being engaged with a synchronizer carried by a transmission shaft includes that gearwheel being engaged with (i.e., coupled to) that transmission shaft. A gearwheel that couples with a shaft by a synchronizer can rotate independent of the shaft when the gearwheel is uncoupled from the shaft. Instead of using a single synchronizer to couple at least two gearwheels, two shafts, or a gearwheel and shaft, separate synchronizers could be used to couple the multiple gearwheels or shafts.
The synchronizer 9 can be moved axially along the input shaft 1 by a shift fork or another mechanism. The synchronizer 9 can have (i) a first engaged position in which the synchronizer 9 keeps the driving gearwheel 11, but not the driving gearwheel 12, engaged with the input shaft 1, (ii) a second engaged position in which the synchronizer 9 keeps the driving gearwheel 12, but not the driving gearwheel 11, engaged with the input shaft 1, and (iii) a neutral position in which neither of the driving gearwheel 11 and the driving gearwheel 12 is engaged with the input shaft 1. The synchronizer 9 can be moved axially along the input shaft 1 away from a gearwheel adjacent to the synchronizer 9 so that the gearwheel disengages from the input shaft 1 and the synchronizer 9 moves into its neutral position.
The synchronizer 8 can be moved axially along the input shaft 1 by a shift fork or another mechanism. The synchronizer 8 can have (i) a first engaged position in which the synchronizer 8 keeps the driving gearwheel 13, but not the reverse-gear driving gearwheel 14, engaged with the input shaft 1, (ii) a second engaged position in which the synchronizer 8 keeps the reverse-gear driving gearwheel 14, but not the driving gearwheel 13, engaged with the input shaft 1, and (iii) a neutral position in which neither of the driving gearwheel 13 and the reverse-gear driving gearwheel 14 is engaged with the input shaft 1. The synchronizer 8 can be moved axially along the input shaft 1 away from a gearwheel adjacent to the synchronizer 8 so that the gearwheel disengages from the input shaft 1 and the synchronizer 8 moves into its neutral position.
The transmission 70 can include a speed-reducing gearwheel 22, a driven gearwheel 15, a synchronizer 10, a driven gearwheel 16, a driven gearwheel 17, and a reverse-gear driven gearwheel 18 disposed on the intermediate shaft 4 in a sequence from left to right (e.g., from the first shaft-end-portion to the second shaft-end portion) as shown in
The driven gearwheel 15 and the driven gearwheel 16 are configured for engagement to the intermediate shaft 4 by the synchronizer 10. The synchronizer 10 can be moved axially along the intermediate shaft 4 by a shift fork or another mechanism. The synchronizer 10 can have (i) a first engaged position in which the synchronizer 10 keeps the driven gearwheel 15, but not the driven gearwheel 16, engaged with the intermediate shaft 4, (ii) a second engaged position in which the synchronizer 10 keeps the driven gearwheel 16, but not the driven gearwheel 15, engaged with the intermediate shaft 4, and (iii) a neutral position in which neither of the driven gearwheel 15 and the driven gearwheel 16 is engaged with the intermediate shaft 4. The driven gearwheel 16 and the driven gearwheel 16 is rotatably carried by the intermediate shaft 4 or is rotatably carried by the sleeves 15a and 16a, respectively.
The transmission 70 can include an idler gearwheel 20 and an idler gearwheel 21 disposed on the intermediate shaft 5 in a sequence from left to right (e.g., from the first shaft-end-portion to the second shaft-end portion) as shown in
The transmission 70 can include a reverse-gear idler gearwheel 19 disposed on the reverse-gear idler shaft 3. The reverse-gear idler gearwheel 19 meshes with the reverse-gear driving gearwheel 14 on the input shaft 1 and with the reverse-gear driven gearwheel 18 on the intermediate shaft 4.
The transmission 70 can include a differential 60. The differential 60 can include a speed-reducing gearwheel 23 and differential half-axles 6a and 6b. The differential 60 can include a pair of carriers 61, 62 fixed to the speed-reducing gearwheel 23, a shaft 63 rotatably carried by the pair of carriers 61, 62, a pair of first gearwheels 64, 65 mounted to the shaft 63, a pair of second gearwheels 66, 67 each meshing with the first gearwheels 64, 65, and the differential half-axles 6a and 6b extending from the second gearwheels 66, 67 respectively. The differential half-axles 6 can be connected to vehicle wheels. The pair of carriers 61 and 62 can be configured as a single carrier fixed to the speed-reducing gearwheel 23, but is not so limited. Each of the first gearwheels 64 and 65 can be referred to as a spider gearwheel. Each of the second gearwheels 66 and 67 can be referred to as a side gearwheel. The differential 60 can include a differential case (not shown). The speed-reducing gearwheel 23, as well as one or more other components of the differential 60, can be carried by or within the differential case. The differential case can rotatably carry the speed-reducing gearwheel 23.
The transmission 70 can include a driving gearwheel 25 disposed on the motor shaft 2. The driving gearwheel 25 meshes with an idler gearwheel 24 disposed on the idler shaft 7. The EM 50 can turn the motor shaft 2 clockwise or counter-clockwise. In the example embodiments in which HPDS 100 includes the compressor 55, a compressor clutch 57 can releasably couple the compressor 55 and the motor shaft 2 together.
The idler gearwheel 24 is disposed on the idler shaft 7. The idler gearwheel 24 meshes with the driving gearwheel 25 on the motor shaft 2 and the driving gearwheel 11 on the input shaft 1.
The aforementioned gearwheels and synchronizers can be referred to by alternative names. Table 1 shows alternative gearwheel and synchronizer names for the gearwheels and synchronizers of the transmission 70. Other examples of alternative names are also possible.
The gearwheels of the example embodiments can have various characteristics. For example, each of the gearwheels described herein can comprise a helix gearwheel, but is not so limited. Table 2 includes data indicating additional example characteristics of the various gearwheels of the transmission 70. A person having ordinary skill in the art will understand that other examples of the identified characteristics are also possible.
In accordance with the example embodiments, gear shifting and gear selection can be achieved manually or automatically. Those shifting and selection actions performed automatically can occur electrically, hydraulically, or a combination of electrically and hydraulically. With respect to electrical gear shifting or selection, an electric motor other than the EM 50 can be used to perform the gear shifting or selection by moving a shift fork to slide a synchronizer axially along a shaft.
The HPDS 100 can have one or more driving modes. Those driving modes can include at least one of (i) a PEDM in which the ICE 30 is the acting power source for the HPDS 100, (ii) a PMDM in which the EM 50 is the acting power source for the HPDS 100, and (iii) a HDM in which both the ICE 30 and the EM 50 are the acting power sources for the HPDS 100.
The HPDS 100 and the transmission 70 can provide multiple power transmitting paths for each of the one or more driving modes. Examples of those power transmitting paths are described below. For each of the power transmitting paths of the PEDM and the HDM, the clutch 40 can be in the engaged state such that the power of the ICE 30 is transmitted to the input shaft 1 by the clutch 40. For each of the power transmitting paths of the PMDM, the clutch 40 is in the disengaged state such that any power available from the ICE 30 is not transmitted to the input shaft 1 by the clutch 40 or the ICE 30 is not outputting power. Shifting the transmission 70 from any speed ratio to another speed ratio in the PEDM and HDM can include the ICE 30 and the input shaft 1 being disengaged from one another by the clutch 40 so that axial movement of one or more of the synchronizers can be moved axially to allow for engagement and disengagement (i.e., coupling and uncoupling) of one or more gearwheels as described below.
The axial movement of any of the synchronizers described herein to couple with a gearwheel can include that gearwheel coupling with the shaft on which the synchronizer is carried such that the gearwheel and that shaft rotate at the same speed.
The power transmitting paths discussed herein refer to forward speed ratios and reverse speed ratios. The power output by the half-axles 6a and 6b for the forward speed ratios can cause the half-axles 6a and 6b, and wheels attached thereto, to turn in a first driving direction (e.g., a forward driving direction). The power output by the half-axles 6a and 6b for the reverse speed ratios can cause the half-axles 6a and 6b, and wheels attached thereto, to turn in a second driving direction (e.g., a reverse driving direction) opposite the first driving direction.

The transmission 170 includes multiple driving gearwheels that drive at least one other gearwheel or causes at least one other gearwheel to turn. The transmission 170 includes multiple driven gearwheels.
In an example embodiment of the HPDS 200 including the ICE 130, the input shaft 101 can be coupled to the ICE 130 by use of a clutch 140. As an example, the clutch 140 can include a pressure plate assembly, a throw-out bearing, a throw-our fork, and a clutch disk to engage a flywheel of the ICE 130, but the clutch 140 is not so limited. The clutch 140 can have an engaged state in which an output of the ICE 130 (e.g., the flywheel) is connected to the input shaft 101 (e.g., by way of the clutch disk). When viewed from a front side of the ICE 130 (opposite a back side of the ICE 130 to which the flywheel is connected), the power or torque output by the ICE 130 can turn the clutch 140 in a clockwise direction. Other references herein to the ICE 130 or a shaft of the transmission 170 turning in a clockwise direction are considered from the same viewpoint.

In the example embodiments in which the HPDS 200 includes the compressor 155, a compressor clutch 157 can releasably couple the compressor 155 and the intermediate shaft 107 together.
The aforementioned gearwheels and synchronizers can be referred to by alternative names. Table 3 shows alternative gearwheel and synchronizer names for the gearwheels and synchronizers of the transmission 170. Other examples of alternative names are also possible.
The gearwheels of the example embodiments can have various characteristics. Table 4 includes data indicating additional example characteristics of the various gearwheels of the transmission 170.

Those driving modes can include at least one of (i) a PEDM in which the ICE 130 is the acting power source for the HPDS 200, (ii) a PMDM in which the EM 150 is the acting power source for the HPDS 200, and (iii) a HDM in which both the ICE 130 and the EM 150 are the acting power sources for the HPDS 200.
The HPDS 200 and the transmission 170 can provide multiple power transmitting paths for each of the one or more driving modes. Examples of those power transmitting paths are described below. For each of the power transmitting paths of the PEDM and the HDM, the clutch 140 can be in the engaged state such that the power of the ICE 130 is transmitted to the input shaft 101 by the clutch 140. For each of the power transmitting paths of the PMDM, the clutch 140 is in the disengaged state such that any power available from the ICE 130 is not transmitted to the input shaft 101 by the clutch 140 or the ICE 130 is not outputting power. Shifting the transmission 170 from any speed ratio to another speed ratio in the PEDM and HDM can include the ICE 130 and the input shaft 101 being disengaged from one another by the clutch 140 so that axial movement of one or more of the synchronizers can be moved axially to allow for engagement and disengagement (i.e., coupling and uncoupling) of one or more gearwheels as described below.
The power transmitting paths discussed herein refer to forward speed ratios and reverse speed ratios. The power output by the half-axles 106a and 106b for the forward speed ratios can cause the half-axles 106a and 106b, and wheels attached thereto, to turn in a first driving direction (e.g., a forward driving direction).
