  • Patent number: 11391348
    Abstract: A transmission and a power system for use in a hybrid vehicle. A first ring gear or a first planetary frame is drivingly connected with an output gear of the transmission to serve as an output member, when either the first ring gear or the first planetary frame is drivingly connected with the output gear, the other one is connected with a casing of the transmission via a brake. A second clutch is configured as: when the brake is disengaged, the second clutch is engaged to make the rotational speed of the output member equal to the rotational speed of an input shaft. The transmission and the power system are structurally compact, work steadily, and effectively increase the acceleration performance of the hybrid vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11267329
    Abstract: A power system for a hybrid vehicle includes a first planetary gear mechanism and a second planetary gear mechanism that cooperate with each other, wherein a first sun gear rotates with a first input shaft, a second sun gear and the first input shaft are independent from each other, the second sun gear achieve different movement states through a first brake, a second brake and a second clutch, to provide different transmission ratios, so that the power system is simple in structure, low in cost and more flexible in adaptability. Further, a second electric motor is connected with the first input shaft through a third planetary gear mechanism, can reduce the speed of the second electric motor through the planetary gear mechanism, and increase the torque, to effectively reduce the size of the second electric motor or improve the acceleration performance of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11180016
    Abstract: The present invention provides a power system for a hybrid vehicle, relating to the field of hybrid vehicles. The power system mainly includes an engine, a first motor, a second motor, a first planetary gear mechanism, a second planetary gear mechanism, a first input shaft, a first clutch, a brake, and a second clutch. Since the second motor is connected to the first input shaft through the second planetary gear mechanism, the planetary gear mechanism can reduce the speed of the second motor and increase the torque to effectively reduce the size of the second motor or improve the acceleration performance of the vehicle. Since the first clutch between the first input shaft and the engine is disengaged when driven by the second motor, the drag resistance of the engine is reduced, and the fuel economy of the vehicle is improved.
