Abstract

Disclosed are a drive synthesis box with multi-motors flexible torque and an electric vehicle. The drive synthesis box with multi-motors flexible torque includes at least two power sources and at least two reduction gear assemblies. Each power source includes driving motors for outputting driving force. The at least two reduction gear assemblies are connected to the at least two power sources in one-to-one correspondence, for transmitting the driving force.

Claims (24)

1 . A drive box combined with flexible torque of multi motors, comprising:

at least two power sources, wherein each of the at least two power sources comprises a driving motor for outputting a driving force; and

at least two reduction gear assemblies, each power source is correspondingly connected to one of the at least two reduction gear assemblies, wherein the two reduction gear assemblies are configured to transmit the driving force;

wherein one of the at least two power sources is provided at one side of a straight line connecting the at least two reduction gear assemblies, and the other of the at least two power sources is provided at the other side of the straight line.

2 . The drive box combined with flexible torque of multi motors of claim 1 , further comprising a differential, wherein an input end of the differential is connected to an output end of each reduction gear assembly, and the differential is connected to a left driving shaft and a right driving shaft for transmitting the driving force to a respective wheel end, to drive a respective wheel of a vehicle.

3 . The drive box combined with flexible torque of multi motors of claim 2 , further comprising a transmission connecting the input end of the differential with the output end of each reduction gear assembly.

4 . The drive box combined with flexible torque of multi motors of claim 3 , wherein:

each power source comprises the driving motor and a motor shaft connected to the driving motor;

each reduction gear assembly comprises a first transmission gear connected to the motor shaft and a second transmission gear meshing with the first transmission gear; and

the second transmission gear is an output end of the reduction gear assembly.

5 . The drive box combined with flexible torque of multi motors of claim 4 , wherein the at least two reduction gear assemblies share one and the same second transmission gear.

6 . The drive box combined with flexible torque of multi motors of claim 5 , wherein the at least two power sources are provided along a circumference of the second transmission gear.

7 . The drive box combined with flexible torque of multi motors of claim 4 , wherein:

the transmission comprises an input shaft assembly, an intermediate shaft assembly, an output shaft assembly and a gear shift device,

the input shaft assembly comprises an input shaft connected to the second transmission gear and a third transmission gear connected to the input shaft,

the intermediate shaft assembly comprises an intermediate shaft, a fourth transmission gear and a fifth transmission gear, both ends of the intermediate shaft are respectively connected to the fourth transmission gear and the fifth transmission gear, and the fourth transmission gear meshes with the third transmission gear,

the output shaft assembly comprises an output shaft and a sixth transmission gear, the output shaft is connected to the input end of the differential, the sixth transmission gear is rotatably installed on the output shaft, and the sixth transmission gear meshes with the fifth transmission gear, and

the gear shift device is provided on the output shaft and configured to control a connection between the output shaft and the sixth transmission gear or the input shaft.

8 . The drive box combined with flexible torque of multi motors of claim 7 , wherein:

when the transmission operates in a first gear, the gear shift device is configured to control the output shaft to connect with the sixth transmission gear, to make the driving force transmitted from the reduction gear assembly sequentially pass through the input shaft, the third transmission gear, the fourth transmission gear, the intermediate shaft, the fifth transmission gear, the sixth transmission gear and the output shaft to the differential; and

when the transmission operates in a second gear, the gear shift device is configured to control the output shaft to connect with the input shaft, to make the driving force transmitted from the reduction gear assembly sequentially pass through the input shaft and the output shaft to the differential, to realize a two-gear driving of the vehicle.

9 . An electric vehicle, comprising the drive box combined with flexible torque of multi motors of claim 1 .

10 . The electric vehicle of claim 9 , wherein the electric vehicle comprises a pure electric heavy truck, a heavy truck with increased range, and a battery replacement heavy truck.

11 . The electric vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the battery replacement heavy truck comprises a battery replacement box, and the battery replacement box is quickly replaced through a battery replacement station.
